It’s pretty sure it’s no longer worth arguing with someone that John Brown would have shot.

Trying to expedite the process to get our kids’ passports so we get jet if we need to is giving me more heartburn than I need at the moment.

c'est ainsi que les petits bourgeois réagissent au début face aux politiciens qui se retournent contre eux.

Say goodbye to statistics meaning anything. Unemployment numbers? Now we will have no idea how they’re calculated.

As a point of order, I’d avoid pissing off Canada. Their motto is “it’s not a war crime the first time.”

Who would Jesus deport?

Last year, Trump’s FBI Director was selling magic pills which would supposedly cleanse your body of the Covid vaccine to “reverse the vaxx” if you ever had one. A complete scam.

Trump’s FBI Director signing copies of his Trump-themed children’s book in 2022 with the QAnon slogan “Where We Go 1, We Go All.’

Pete Hegseth was forced to step down from both of the nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran in the face of serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct, @janemayer.bsky.social reports.

If you think Enol is some sort of genius, he doesn’t know how “stealth” works on military air power.
