  1. My bad. The Bezos wedding will cost 56 million…slightly more than mine.
  2. I hold on to hope that little by little, bone marrow Republicans/conservatives will begin to understand the degree to which their loyalty and obeisance to a party that no longer exists, has harmed them and the country they purport to love. Just today, there have been rumblings from the base who have begun to question why a guy who is spending 25 million on his second wedding, needs a tax cut paid in part by the 21% of Iowans who are will lose their Medicaid to make it possible. These are the murmurings of which revolutions are made.
  3. I’m as pragmatic as they come and I sat screw that bs. Every time a Democrat tries to run Republican against a Republican, the Republican wins.
  4. How is it that conservatives can be perfectly okay with unidentified masked goons disappearing brown people without due process when they lost their collective shit over perceived lawless government overreach and abuse with Cliven Bundy, Ruby Ridge and Waco?
  5. Good news! https://texaspolitics.utexas.edu/blog/june-2025-university-of-texas-texas-politics-project-poll-economic-concerns-drag-trump-s-job-approval-underwater-in-texas-while-most-texans-oppose-ban-on-thc-products-dividing-gop-leadership A new University of Texas/Texas Politics Project Poll finds approval of President Donald Trump’s job performance falling into net-negative territory for the first time in his second term, with 44% approving and 51% disapproving, tied for the highest negative job approval rating ever recorded for Trump in University of Texas polling. Texans’ views of the performance of state political leaders also took a negative turn as economic concerns persist in the Lone Star State, and the legislature looks toward a potentially heated special session following Gov. Greg Abbott’s veto of SB 3, the comprehensive ban on hemp-derived and other THC products aggressively championed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. In the wake of Gov. Abbott’s veto, and his subsequent announcement that he would convene a special session in July to reconsider less restrictive regulation, the poll reveals that Texas voters largely side with Abbott overall, but with the plurality of Republicans slightly in favor of the ban favored by Lt. Gov. Patrick. More than half of Texas voters, 53%, opposed the ban passed by the Legislature, while 31% supported it. Republicans remain closely divided, with 46% supporting a ban and 39% opposing it, a reflection of Texas Republicans’ divided opinions on the legal status of marijuana writ large Well more than half of Democrats (68%) and independents (58%) were opposed to the Legislature’s THC ban. In another item assessing the more general handling of marijuana/cannabis laws by state leaders and the legislature, 22% approved and 47% disapproved of the state’s performance so far, with similar patterns in partisan evaluations to those seen in the more specific item. The poll was conducted shortly after the end of the session but prior to Abbott’s veto.
  6. Could the owners declare them to be private clubs?
  7. I don’t like these people:
  8. Why would he? It’s made and is performing in his image.
  9. Should we ever get another opportunity and Dems make moves to expand the SC, magas and corporate Democrats will squeal like cut pigs
  10. What a monster.
  11. Thirteen states, all with Republican governors, opted out of a federal summer food program that provides electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards to families for the purchase of groceries.These states include Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
  12. He’s politically aligned with AOC, Crockett. Frost, and Swalwell. And he ain’t scared..
  13. Probably before his ecdysis took place.
  14. The new world being bandied about for this alpha male is muscular/muscularity. Exhibit A
  15. ‘cause. You shut up.
  16. It should be noted that Iran offered to sign the same kind of treaty it had with Obama that severely curtailed their nuclear work and guaranteed inspections. Trump wasn’t interested because Bibi didn’t want that at all. The fix was in from the very beginning.
  17. Good point. My bad. I should’ve used more precise language. Iran reportedly got word to Trump through intermediaries at the G7 that should he attack, Iran would release sleeper cells already in the US and kill innocent Americans. I sure hope he was bluffing.
  18. Iran reportedly told Trump at the G7 that should he attack, Iran would release sleeper cells already in the US and kill innocent Americans. I sure hope he was bluffing.
  19. This might require another one of Trump’s 4D chess moves.
  20. It should have been obvious to everybody that when Trump publicly disagreed with his DNI about Iran’s nuclear intentions, he would as accede to BIbi’s request to bomb Iranian nuclear installations.
  21. Stupid biscuit.
  22. You unmask a good point. Why aren’t the gun nuts all over the lawless actions of a tyrannical government agency like ICE?
  23. Courts have interpreted this kind of thing to be a violation of the Fourteenth amendment’s equal protection clause and the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. I don’t understand why everybody’s not up in arms about this.
  24. Can ICE be sued for this? https://www.nbcnewyork.com/long-island/video-long-island-man-driving-to-work-handcuffed-by-ice-despite-being-citizen/6301068/
  25. Well, like it or not, the Rangers would have probably hired a band to escort them in. They’re Maga like that.
