The “First Amendment Warrior” Desires To Be Archie Bunker
In light of continued criticism from late night hosts and others, Trump has been on Truth Social saying that the broadcast licenses of networks which continue to air what he deems "negative" content regarding him or his administration should be terminated, or minimally, that such shows should be taken off the air, or in the case of Stephen Colbert, people should be subjected to even more direct threats from a sitting President - so Trump believes.

It's a meritocracy for people who absolutely do not believe that merit should be anywhere near hiring decisions.
It's a total idiocracy.

"A pile of cinder blocks outside the city sustained minor damage".

- a local resident, maybe
"tell me we didn't just fire a dozen $500,000 missiles at a $200 camel"

"sir, no evidence of any camel present, sir!"

Meanwhile, I am not even in charge in my own house.

Better, I kind of prefer it that way.
America thing they own everybody in North America, just like Russia who want Europe.

Frank Sinatra was actually a big civil rights patron and even helped integrate Vegas.

He probably would have taken a swing at Miller.
Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were both the sons of Italian parents. Back in that time, the racist Stephen Millers of the time didn't regard Italians as Anglo-Saxon enough to be welcome as immigrants to the United States.

Utah to.....Ann Arbor.

Quite the shift.

He'll have to outendure joggers in the Arboretum then.
Kyle Whittingham is expected to be announced as Michigan’s next head football coach as soon as this afternoon, source tells NBC Sports.

It's more evidence that many of these people share a very obsessive need to be front and center, even if in some obscure corner of the MAGAsphere where maybe 10 people hang out.
The fired Cinnabon employee who was rewarded financially by MAGA donors after going on a racist tirade has been posting bizarre product reviews videos for all the stuff she has been buying.

This is Trump’s America.

I was talking to someone about this the other day, and this came up. Broadcast licensing agreements are not subject to the censorship of the originating country. Over the decades, we've seen a lot of programming that the country which produced it did not, at least not right away.

Retired....."in the transfer portal"......shopping for homes in the many cul-de-sacs off Geddes, ust east of Central Campus?
News: Former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham has emerged as Michigan’s top target, sources confirm to NBC Sports. A deal could be done as soon as this afternoon.

First reported by ESPN.

Clearly, sometimes Santa would disappoint when I was a kid, but I don't remember ever feeling quite like THAT about it.

These people have unresolved issues to spare.

I still think about the 15 minutes in the early 1990s when I, and perhaps others, thought that maybe Man might get over himself.

Still waiting.
Today is the anniversary of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Let’s hope history repeats itself with its successor.

ISIS was regenerated by the Genesis Wave.
Donald Trump: the president who destroyed ISIS in record time in his first term and also the president who is boldly taking on the ISIS terrorists in his second term.

Something kind of in the vein of The Big Short, but based on "Splash Of Color" (John Nance of ABC News fame wrote it), which is about the troubled and ultimately doomed tenure of Howard Putnam at Braniff International (ending with Braniff ceasing operations on May 12, 1982).
OK, less contentious post:

You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?

For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

OK, so we get Minnesota's best helmet and a rather snappy Lobos jersey. Well done.
Uniform matchup for the Rate Bowl.

We got color vs color y’all!

I would think that, if nothing else did it, that would. It is very difficult to be chummy with someone when you're OK with having them harmed or worse in order to protect someone (Trump, obviously).
Well... yeah.
