Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

This tasty digestif to the Sandwich Guy case chews on each slice of the deliberations, tantalizingly giving readers a rich flavor of why jurors found the evidence so unpalatable and disgorged all charges against the defendant. Condiments to the reporter.
Jurors in Sandwich Thrower Case Found Charges ‘Bunch of Baloney’
Two of the 12 jurors who found the accused DC sandwich thrower not guilty of assaulting a federal officer discuss why the case didn’t hold up.

So there you are with a cranky kid, maxed-out carry-on weighing you down, a purse that is a mess, the kid’s backpack on the floor, all the food around you is expensive as hell, the gate has changed twice, bathroom line a mile long & Duffy thinks you need pull-ups to get the blood flowing?
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

@markhertling.bsky.social on the double-tap strike "Trump specifically said he would release [the video] as soon as possible, and today he's saying he never said that. It's like a little child lying about stealing cookies."

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

PRO TIP: If you're going to lash out at reporters for questioning your stamina, don't fall asleep mid-rant.

I don’t understand one thing: clearly Trump is not long for this earth, he’s an older man. Still could live another 10 years but still that’s not long.

Does he really have no concern about facing his creator?

Angry elderly people…. I don’t understand

Okay for once I totally and completely empathize with President Trump.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.
