AfD at 19.5% in the German exit polls would, weirdly, be a pretty big disappointment for them. Yes, it’s much better than their 2021 result. But it would be a distant second place, only slightly ahead of the SPD, and below their polling. Did Musk/Vance hurt their performance?

Two core GOP principles on display, here. One, they are selfish and greedy. Two, they do not give a fuck about children in any way. I'm have a feeling Dolly is gonna make them sorry for it with a sweet smile on her face and a "Bless your heart". www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
