Yep, pretty obvious what he's driving at on this one.... you would never catch him posting this on Columbus Day

It's been funny to see people on my FB feed object to terms like "Gestapo" when every seemingly every single day presents new examples of this administration sending thugs out to disrupt otherwise non-political and benign events. Like seriously, a ****ing baseball stadium? Is literally nothing sacred?

Well, if ol' Senator Twonames is saying it, it must be true haha

If our old friend were still around, I'd be asking him what this administration's plan is to deal with this looming crisis. I'd honestly just settle for actual journalists asking members of the administration at this point...

Jake Tapper, call your office

Cults gonna cult

The most interesting part isn't the exchange on the ear but that it illuminates the problems that the GOP are likely to have if/when Trump exits the scene.

What a tremendous waste of money and resources

Say what you want about Tucker, but his ethos is very much all about no new wars. Can't say the same about the MSM

Kirk's reaction in particular, with his focus on younger voters, is notable. Because a big component of this cohort is younger voters, specifically young men. They may have voted for Trump, but this I'm sure isn't what most of them had in mind. If anything, it was the opposite.

The fatal flaw in Bibi's strategy here.... sure, almost all of us would like to see the regime fall, but there's absolutely no guarantee that whatever fills the void left behind will be much better. Especially with how this has been undertaken

Sweet Jesus

I was reliable told there would be no new wars

There's a lot going on here, from him fumbling the papers, to the papers being blank sheets, to him mistakenly referring to the EU instead of the UK. To Kier Starmer wishing he were anywhere else.

In some cases, there are people who were brought here through no fault of their own, as unemancipated minors (ie. DACA kids). This administration treats these individuals just like everybody else, and on a moral level, it is just wrong. There's no sugar coating it. A person shouldn't be locked up and sent to El Salvador or Libya or wherever under any circumstances, but this is especially true of people who ended up here through no fault of their own. Seems like a pretty obvious point.

I've said it a bunch back around the beginning of the year when Tigeraholic was still showing up, the big problem with immigration as a political issue in this country is that there is really little consensus on what the problem actually is. Most Americans want a more secure border. But beyond this very narrow part of the puzzle, is the issue that we have an archaic immigration system that cannot handle the adjudication or processing of those trying to enter this country? Same question in regards to asylum claims as well? Or is the issue that we just shouldn't have more immigration at all? The administration, represented by Stephen Miller, comes down on the side of the latter question... And for as much as immigration was helpful during the last election and to the extent on the very narrow question of the border they still have an advantage politically, they are starting to lose ground beyond the border issue and into the adjudication issues because Americans largely DO NOT come down on the side of the latter question.... The same goes for those that are already here.... nobody wants criminals who are illegal, but the public has much more circumspect views on deporting a bunch of law abiding immigrants without due process. It shouldn't be surprising to anybody.

All of this to what end? What does any of this do to make people's lives materially better? It's not even about the bigger macro picture, even on the micro, individualistic level.... what does this do to make your life better? Burr's absolutely spot on in focusing on this... if we are electing politicians who aren't even going through the pretense of trying to make people's lives better, than what are we doing exactly? Is all this **** just gladiator games?

At the risk of sounding like I'm downplaying, this reads like a temper-tantrum after the past week which, overall, didn't exactly play out like they would have wanted.

It's good to be reminded that you aren't alone when you live in a more red area.

Considering how much deference they give this administration, you know it's bad when the Times is calling it low-energy...

I rather enjoyed the announcer giving "special thanks to our sponsor... Coinbase" Idiocracy baby!

I've only seen clips, but it's striking how sloppy the whole production is... If a Russian parade were planned and it went off like this, one of Putin's associates would be throwing the organizer off of a balcony

300+ strong in Morris, IL today (decided to attend in person)... Impressive given how conservative it can be out this way
