Once again better to think of this as a jobs program for consultants and not a functioning political party
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Everyone who said nice things about Marjorie Taylor Greene because she had a falling out with Trump can go fuck themselves.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

People like Bongino and MTG jumping ship is a sign the rats have picked up a bad scent. Those two are every bit as evil as Trump and his other scum, but both are experienced grifters who know you can never go full True Believer, even if you pretend to.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Not to jump to conclusions, but the killer is a Trump supporter. This is civil war. Everyone who mocked Rob Reiner or his tweets should be fired or impeached. If there isn't a building named after him at the local college, we defund the business school and replace it with the Department of Femdom.
Don't go to the hellsite for info about Rob Reiner. It will make you sick.
Clearly, the civility police are only deployed for right wingers.

In 2013, I, and two others scarfed down a bunch of pot cookies in the parking lot before watching Star Trek Into Darkness 3D. I can't hate on the movie too much because the movie we saw is not the movie everyone else did. Lots of laughs, an exciting journey, like a Star Trek movie ought to be!
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
