The distracted boyfriend meme but it's Tulsi Gabbard looking at "nonexistent election fraud in Georgia the state" instead of "Real election fraud in Georgia the country" lnk.thebulwark.com/4kpR98M

“The government has never provided evidence of any Tren de Aragua presence in the building. In fact, federal prosecutors never charged any of the 37 immigrants detained that night with any crimes tied to the gang or that building.”

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

I won't post an image, but I find it hysterical that since George W. Bush, Republican men haven't been able to hold their arms normally in photos. They all turn their palms back (rather than facing their legs like a normal person). They think it makes them look bigger and tougher. Pathetic losers.

You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

Unfortunately thanks to protestant work ethic people have learned to fear above all anyone getting something they personally feel wasn’t earned. They’ll spend $50 to prevent $1 reaching “undeserving” hands. They’ll pay luxury prices for needless cruelty and call it thrift.

Kid Rock’s song about loving underage girls resurfaces ahead of TPUSA Super Bowl show:
“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.”
His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”
