This Yud guy is a toxic cess pit. Nothing rational about choosing to bring about nightmarishly dystopian ways of living in the coming years. His scribblings are intellectual cancer.

If I had to play a Republican for the NYT, it would have to be Hondo Crouch. I'd have him dismantle Trump from an old-school pre-Nixon Republican standpoint. "LBJ Country" is an illustrative part of his legend. www.tshaonline.org/handbook/ent...

Get ready for the exciting new modern remake of the 1970s oil shock. Also, what is it with Republican presidents and high gas prices!?

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

A spacecraft travels to the distant planet Altair IV to learn the fate of a group of scientists sent there decades earlier. When Commander John J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and his crew arrive, they discover only two people: Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter, Altaira (Anne Francis), who was born on the remote planet. Soon, Adams begins to uncover the mystery of what happened on Altair IV, and why Morbius and Altaira are the sole survivors

The White House got new labels, so this is consistent with his previous actions.

In the original Far Side cartoon, a man labels everything in his house and front yard with a paintbrush.

This parody of the original Far Side cartoon had every graffiti style label as " The America " mocking Trump's renaming places & bodies of water to " America "

It's getting worse the longer Trump & Republicans are in power. It is easy to go from a high trust society to low trust, and very hard to reverse.

So sick and tired of Republican's fascist bullshit. Trump is posting nightmare fuel on main while those around him are busy squandering our public resources on fantasies. Trump must be removed from office and the Republican Party electorally banished for betraying the US Constitution.

Since Trump has already lost his war in Iran, he is looking to pin the blame on Democrats as "weak" on national security. He is preemptively rewriting history in real time. MAGA will only hear this message.

@realDonaldTrump
The Radical Left Lunatics, Dumocrats, and Communists would rather have us LOSE the War in Iran, than have President Donald J. Trump WIN the War for America. In other words, they'd rather have us LOSE than have us WIN! These are very sick people who suffer from serious TDS, sometimes referred to as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.

An absurdly sucktacular retreat from reality. Trump's guiding compass reliably points to the exact opposite of good ideas.

I could not be held responsible if a variant of this aesthetic were to hit Plane Trader. Similarly, the Transavia PL-12 Airtruk is already my personal kryptonite. My essay on the aircraft in the ALT text.

Description of photograph - an adorable little airplane in red & white paint with a tall center pod, 2 sets of nonequal-length wings and bipod H-stabs and vertical stabilizers keep this precious little airplane in the air.

The friendliest looking airplane in the world, the Transavia PL-12 Airtruk. Some havers of incorrect opinions consider this unique agricultural and medevac airframe to be ugly.

Come on, it looks like an animated Pixar character but real.

It is also ridiculously practical and easy to fly.
