The people in that photo sure are thin. Young people used to look like that, but they don't anymore.
We embraced "body positivity" and terrible diets and now we have fat youths that don't have sex.
There's a bunch of macro trends plus the advent of social media but holy crap did kids get fat.

I mean, she's a Russian asset and Iran is Russia's key ally and source of drones and missiles. They're crucial to continuing Russia's war efforts.
She's probably lying to protect Russia's interests.

We're going to stop paying for health insurance, that will save $5k/yr. We're also going to quit our jobs, losing $150k/yr in revenue.
We reduced the deficit by 5k!
No, you increased it by 145k.
That's the incredibly stupid argument we're having.

Then go buy some shitty modern tract home. They're perfect cubes and very energy efficient.
They have absolutely no architectural detail, you'll love it.

Details... Details... You've got to see the bigger picture!
Don't get caught up in whether or not it exists. That's a minor detail, easily ironed out.

I'm a 3rd amendment absolutist. Troops shouldn't be allowed to sleep in any domicile, that includes a barracks.
They should sleep outside, in a tent, the way the founders intended.

We're in the minority? State's rights! Let each state decide!
We got national power? Federal Ban! Force it on everyone!
The same is true for free speech. They supported that right up until they got power. Now they're working to shutdown universities and law firms that spoke against them.

I struggle to believe that the Biden administration sat on damning evidence against Trump.
I mean, they oversaw multiple prosecutions. Why would they sit on Epstein evidence?

Dragon has been great. It's a workhorse. 95% of the American crew flights to the International Space Station in the last 10 years were on Dragon
The other 5% was a failed Boeing Starliner mission that nearly killed the crew; crew which were rescued by Dragon.

If naked disco dancing in the bathroom is wrong then I don't want to be right.

Should we expect media coverage of this?

This bill doesn't reduce healthcare spending, it just transfers it to you and I.
And it does it in such a way as to magnify it.
Rather than getting regular care through Medicaid they'll wait until they're horribly ill and spend 10-times as much through the Emergency care.
And we'll pay for it.

Speak to the true costs:
When millions of poor people lose Medicaid they won't just roll over and die. No, they'll go to the ER and rack up 6-figure bills that they cannot pay.
Hospitals will raise rates on the rest of us. Hospital bills and health insurance will go up dramatically.

There's no way Stark Tower is zoned for even half of the shit they do there.
Massive weapons systems, radioactive materials, alien artifacts, unlicensed nuclear reactors...and it's all run by an AI from a guy with a history of making evil rebellious AI's.
I'm with code enforcement: Shut it down!

Q1 GDP was negative. Q2 will be negative too.
I don't know why we're debating the possibility of approaching a recession...we're in one.

Formaldehyde is delicious and you're going to love it being added to your diet.
If it's good enough to embalm a corpse then it's good enough to preserve your milk and veggies.

I always wondered about the Great Depression and the Smoot-Hawley tariffs: Who would ever embrace an economic death spiral?
And the answer is apparently 51% of voting Americans.

Cool. Can we get Ranked Choice Voting?
No??? We have to maintain the death-grip of the two parties over the government even if it destroys the Republic??? Lovely....
You can expect "Didn't Vote" to continue to lead elections.

Putin should be hung at the Hague. I support those that have actual plans to effect regime change.

He died sad and alone, isolated in a Siberian prison. His movement was already broken, and yet he chose to fly back to Russia and accept imprisonment as a political stunt.
I respect the man's gumption, but we have real fights ahead; if we are to preserve liberty, don't follow his foolish example.

Early in every election cycle she hires a couple staffers and has them manage her social media and try to get puff pieces in the papers.
Expect articles about how she's an important "party elder" and a DNC power broker and how unnamed people seek her advice... It will all be anonymously sourced....
