We glossed right past the whole “Heritage Foundation is no longer actively rejecting the neo Nazi element and has instead decided to embrace them by pushing out everybody who still thinks Nazis are bad.” thing when we decided to hunker down on the Epstein thing.
Maybe we ought to circle back?

What’s the spend on getting your family of 5 into one of those New Zealand bunker communities? Could your average Powerball winner make that happen?

Finally got to this week’s episode of “The Chair Company.” I don’t think I have laughed any harder in my life than when that dude put a lit birthday cake over the top of a pile of puke & said “it’s fine. I covered it. We don’t have to look at it anymore.”

Those girls are never going to get justice. Chasing it for them is only going to lead to a clearer understanding of how much we hate women in this country.
There are masked men disappearing good people and there’s still time to do something. We need to focus, though.

Your prurient interest in a person named Olivia Nuzzi is encroaching on my right to continue living my life with no knowledge or her life whatsoever.

Despite all the reasons not to, I maintain a modicum of affection for Don Junior. Probably because of that bartending gig in Colorado he had while contemplating being his own man in his 20's.
He's the most tragic figure in all of this, I think.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

All the shit-talk to MAGA Enthusiasts from now on should have this preface: “You know what? I’m not going to fault you for wanting to have a billionaire/superhero/president — we ALL want that at some level. It’s beautiful and I don’t want you to lose that fantasy. It’s a dream worth hanging onto!”

Non-zero chance he goes on the attack by accusing Democrats of kink-shaming him. The only way out is through now.

What’s the method by which the truth about Trump and Epstein costs him his presidency? He steps down? The 25th?
You guys know he’s here to destroy us, don’t you? A sitting president that raped young girls is part of doing so.

Wake up Bae. Megyn Kelley is soft launching injecting the word "ephebophile" into the discourse!
He wasn't a kiddie diddler, see. He's just a guy who is still 16 years-old in many ways (including his sexual attraction to girls that have started recently menstruating).

One day you’ll find out that certain influential Democrats were a coordinated Controlled Opposition.
You still won’t believe it because they did some stuff that Controlled Opposition would never do unless it was important for them to seem credible in order to betray us at just the right moment.

Seems as though it should be a pretty big deal that a Reagan-appointed federal judge would end his career because he can no longer accept being constrained from speaking out against the Trump administration.

My 5 year-old and 8 year-old are both taking voluntary naps that THEY suggested. Hopefully the naps work, but I am beginning to worry they might be too sick to Trick-or-Treat.

Is anyone out there regularly using "weak-tit" as an insult? Is that a thing?
I'd like to get a show of hands so I can deduce whether this is just a regional insult or one that you can reasonably expect most people to know.

Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.
The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

There is probably an Artificial Intelligence version of Weird Al that is clunking out some half-assed parodies of popular songs.
None of them are up to Weird Al levels yet, so they haven't broken through.

DHS posted this video two hours after I asked about the viral photos of Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino.
The portion where he does hand signals is from Bovino leaving court in Chicago yesterday.
