Political scientist here teaching until my supporting character movie career takes off. I focus on state politics. In my spare time I talk about wrestling and media I enjoy. #politcssky for posts with political content #wrestlesky for wrestling content

I haven't worn a costume since I was in 7th grade. I'm wearing one this Halloween. TF is going on in my 40s? Oh, I'm being more open and whimsical, that's right.

"We can't eat road salt" is a banger of a line and can resonate with a lot of people that don't pay attention to politics.

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

I'll never forget how Jim Bakker was trying to hock silver solution as a cure for COVID in 2020 decades after swindling people out of money with his prosperity con. He was always a grifter. www.courthousenews.com/televangelis...

Televangelist to Pay $156,000 to Settle Case Over Fake Covid Cure
Pastor Jim Bakker denied any wrongdoing under the settlement after prosecutors said he defrauded viewers of his TV show by claiming his Silver Solution product can treat Covid-19.

Republican and former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert died. Shame it didn't happen earlier. He didn't even go to prison for the children he abused. He went to prison for the coverup.

This guy thinks rape in real life can be a very special episode of a sitcom where guys are always the main character that gets to grow and go back to normal by the next episode
This dumbass saying “I don’t mean to downplay sexual assault but” and everything else after doesn’t matter

Republicans complain when a few million is spent on poor people, so in what world does anyone believe they’ll spend over 1.3 trillion to send $5000 checks out?

Finally. I've always enjoyed when AEW does something different like the cruise episodes. Plus it gave us this Tony gif.

Not germane to your discussion, but if anyone walked in with a 78 slide presentation, I'm leaving. I don't have time for all that shit.

Excuse me wtf is this. We all know what's missing here and the obvious absence just makes it more noticeable.
Magic card called Dance with Goblins. David Bowie as the Goblin King is there but his signature bulge is not.

These men on AEW are showing it's okay to cry, to grieve, to mourn. Express it's okay to not be okay. That's real. It's not weakness. #AEWDynamite

I hate that we weren't screaming it from the rooftops while he was here, because we all knew it, but PAC really was one of the absolute best wrestlers of his generation. #AEWDynamite

I would bet all my money this monumental fuck up by Eric Schmitt was caused by that "special version" of Senate AI. But it did give us Kennedy looking like Mary Sanderson.
