Without saying anything either way about Brad Lander's mayoral campaign, I will say that this video of him eating a hot dog while riding the Cyclone displays a bone-deep understanding of physical comedy, the dignity of the clown, Keaton, Chaplin, Tati, etc. hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

We can all see Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. But if you don't think the #Democrats are wildly outmatched, spend some time researching literally any local politician from a major US city/county. This isn't Eagles vs Chiefs, it's Eagles vs. Bears. The party is cooked.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Calling in the marines is stupid. But it's simply evidence you're a moron if you don't understand they are trained for this type of activity.

The moderation and block tools on here are so advanced , if you see someone you don’t want to see on here, just block them. Don’t attack them. There used to be great give and take discussions on politics and news. Not so much any more. Doesn’t have to be this way

I’m not a fan of McDonald’s as a rule— but this franchise owner knows what’s up, and I’m definitely not going to criticize them for this one thing. The reason people act the way they act is because they’re used to not facing consequences for it, and it’s nice to see someplace where that isn’t so. 😁

Progressive leaders in blue jurisdictions: we need more energetic, young people in government. Also progressives: no not the ones working for Trump, only energetic young people we like. Stop making ageist comments and your hypocrisy fades away.
