Hegseth got the job not because of his clown antics on Fox News but because during the first term he made it his personal crusade to get Trump to pardon war criminals who had murdered civilians and desecrated corpses. That’s who he is and it’s what Trump hired him to be.

I don't think the Supreme Court is going to get rid of same-sex marriage tomorrow, but when the justice who says that overturning a landmark case is "not realistic" is the *same guy who wrote the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade*, you should not take anything he says seriously

Even *I* know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes and I don't even watch college sports. Though to be fair, that might only be because of @dweeze.bsky.social. (On the other hand, I can read, so I can see that Hawkeyes has a different number of letters than Hawks.)

I am going to the Pats-Jets game in three weeks with my brother and the Patriots had better clean up their act before then or we are going to have a problem. (The problem is I will sad and/or mad.)

No, not me, him. Yesterday he was asking me to ask Drake Maye to stop losing him games. Based on Mr. Maye's performance today...well, I assume he's gonna lose again.

Holy shit, it came back on before I could even report the outage. That has never happened. (My neighborhood is full of trees that want nothing more in life than to fall on power lines. It happens a lot.)

I would also like Drake Maye to win you games, because that would probably coincide with Drake Maye winning the Patriots games. I am trying as hard as I can but it's hard to get them to listen to my ideas. (My ideas are basically, stop throwing for interceptions, start throwing for TDs. Simple!)

While this may be true, I would also like to see Trump invite Xi to Panda Express. I would further like to have access to Xi's internal monologue when he gets taken there and forced to eat for the cameras.

Oh I know. I had to work backwards to the fact that I only first started posting in the Survivor forums just before Survivor Africa started (fall 2001, i.e., just before 9/11 happened), so it was quite a while until I made it over to OT, got to know you, and you two got married.

I can absolutely picture this. Although at first I was picturing Ilse, then realized it could not have been her (I only arrived at this realization via a very convoluted thought process which did not include just knowing how long you have been married, which actually is not something I know).

They're going to spend the next 2 days trying to paint Democrats as extremists based on some interviews the DSA gave Fox News. But here's the proof that, when they actually get enough power, Republicans are the ones with the radical vision that would destroy society.

Banning electric cars, abortion, gay marriage, fluoridation, chemtrails and vaccines, promoting the gold standard, corrupt giveaways, water pollution, tax cuts for the rich, quack medicine and child labor - this is the GOP vision for the country based on the legislation they've actually proposed

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”
