I'll just drop this here:

Are you F'ing kidding me?!?!?!? This is the most asinine distraction of the last 50 years. So unnecessary, petty, and just plain stupid!

I'm not sure why I thought this was funny, but I was listening to the podcast and paused it to log into a meeting. The "we're both from New Jersey" subtitle made me chuckle. I honestly have no clue why; maybe Jon Stewart's face when he realizes he and Christie have common roots. Maybe?

Yeah, because crying "unfair" is always a great strategy. 😐 www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

Uncle Bill is just trying to be the cool genius in the room. 🤔 tribune.com.pk/story/252479...
