I once had a work PC that was set up to boot in either Windows or Linux. Just for fun, with each system I timed a basic task. I opened my browser and opened CNN website. It took 4 times longer in Windows.

This foolishness is trivial. These are the Tudors here! They wage civil war to settle family disputes. When Harry returns to England, raises an army and proceeds to march on Buckingham Palace, call me back.

Didn’t you get the memo? We lost because of DEI. And Biden. And Obama.

“An agreement will be signed imminently”. Coming from this administration, that means who knows what plus I doubt it.

Looking at the GOP caucus in Congress I’m not sure they would dare. Not a solid pair in the place!

Trump loves the abusive cops most of all. He will need them to crack heads when the protests really crank up after he suspends the Constitution and cancels elections.

All BS aside, it’s still the safest form of transportation. Fighting the traffic at your destination, now that is the dangerous part!

The fact that anyone can buy a Cybertruck is reason enough that anyone should be able to buy dynamite.

That, and stop doing racist, fascist shit and stop trying to turn America into a dictatorship.

We wanted to do a bucket-list trip to Yellowstone this year, but you have to make reservations and plans well in advance, and who knows what tomorrow will look like for the Parks?

The article went on to say it was being investigated as a domestic violence case. This is important, because everyone’s first thought was it was a MAGA murder.

When I hear the phrase “democrats propose legislation” I tend to roll my eyes. In this environment, nothing they propose will even get out of committee.

Assuming Trump doesn’t cancel them. He knows he will lose a lot of power in the mid-terms. That may not be acceptable.

If you can look at his mannerisms, his lying, boasting, and his constant need for attention, it’s pretty obvious that he is a very insecure person. I think the core issue is that he isn’t very intelligent, and he knows it, and it kills him.

Canada has a karmic advantage: Trump is loudly rooting for the US team. Sort of like he did Kansas City.

Anything they don’t understand is waste and fraud. Problem is, they’re a bunch of incel computer freaks who don’t know much of anything about government

Anything not 100% MAGA is considered corrupt and fraudulent, and evidence be damned!

They will purge the military and promote only the MAGA. They will need the military to shoot protesters when Trump suspends the Constitution and cancels elections. Hopefully, this part of the plot will fail.

There are a lot of bad stereotypes and jokes about New Jersey. People like Gov. Phil Murphy are why.

If there was a fair and accurate poll in the US to see whether Zelenskyy or Trump was more popular with Americans, I’d bet you lunch Zelenskyy would win.

I think at one point Illinois had the distinction of having two former governors in prison at the same time! JB’s a breath of fresh air.

What was it Trump said to the cops about arrests, something about “don’t be too careful” or something?

I know nothing about this actress. I hope she’s gay, just to piss off the MAGA even more.

They are performing liposuction surgery with a chain saw, and they are cutting out far more meat than fat. The damage they are doing far outweighs the good.

Russia’s conventional military strength is all based on leftover Soviet equipment. They produce weapons today at a trickle.
For less than 5% of the defense budget, in three years we have bled off half of that Soviet stockpile. Best deal we ever had.

Steve is just trying to get back into the power game. He’s on the wrong side, though. The MAGA are the last priority, and they’re about to get sheared like sheep.

Stories like this are the only positives in this administration. I love to see MAGAs get exactly what they voted for. If this is a character defect on my part, well, I’ll own it.
