It appears that the rumor of Kim Jong Un's death is no more than that: a rumor. It appears that the Internet is not the bastion of cold hard facts we could wish it to be.

In light of the fact that Ukraine is helping clean up the Internet, I'm just going to put some non-controversial comments out there: Vaccines save lives. Trump is a crook. Trump is blinded by ego. Human -caused climate change is real.

The memo for remembering the Great Lakes was always easy: HOMES: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior. Under Trump's idiot plan to rename the lake"America" since he knows no one will tolerate him naming it after himself, there's still an easy mnemonic to remember, but it's a SHAME.

I'm wondering if Trump saying he's going to be impeached if Democrats take over the Senate is supposed to be a deterrent. It sure as hell doesn't feel like a deterrent to me.

The problem with Ayn Rand is that such massive tomes as Atlas Shrugged and Anthem are hilariously hypocritical unless you read them as satire. As satire, they'd be genius. Except Rand was completely serious, which makes them deeply flawed and meaningless.

One of the most intellectually important relationships in the life of the late Fed chair Alan Greenspan was with his close friend, the formidable novelist and libertarian thinker Ayn Rand.

I'm in a McDonald's, and the pictured portion of the dining area used to be seating and a gas fireplace. I know, because I took my kids there. The play area is now a paved go-around for the drive through customers. Enshittification is pretty terrible.

Just in case you don't think the Felon in Chief is full of himself and need another sign, here you go. Delusions of grandeur are common in schizophrenia cases, especially in those also afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder. I say afflicted but it's the rest of us that are suffering.

FOR THE RECORD: Trump is a rapist. That the jury didn't find him to be a rapist is due to a quirk of NY penal code, not his behavior. TRUMP IS A RAPIST. Stop supporting and defending a rapist, Americans. You used to be better than this. Be better again.

FOR THE RECORD: the Felon in Chief cannot legally make substantial changes to the White House. Everything he has ordered done is in clear violation of unequivocal rules. To wit, those are not official duties of the president. They can be vacated, and he can be punished for the violations.

Trump's idiot manhood vanity project is going to get Americans killed. Most of us didn't vote for him and precious few think this illegal war is thought through. Don't forget Donnie boy, Iran has thousands of long range drones.

@GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn Just putting it out there: you do not have permission from this Tennessee voter to engage The Boring Company for anything at all. You'll put these projects in front of us, the voters, before you start awarding contracts to your business associates. Thanks.

Just over here waiting for Congress to call Trump to heel. Only Congress can declare war. Any day now, if you folks would like to step up to your responsibility, feel free.

It's clear that the Felon in Chief intends to tamper with the midterm elections, if not actually cancel them entirely. But the United States has held elections during significant conflicts including the Civil War. We must contain him. His trampling of the Constitution must not be tolerated.

Not only are the congresspersons not liable for any sort of crime for having recommendations that our armed forces defy illegal orders, but they should be lauded for having the guts to say it. We are all bound by law; service members no less than anyone else. Generals should have said it first.

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

Just a little observation I made at the hardware store. Some companies compete against offshore manufacturing and match or beat them on quality and price. If some are making it work, I bet more could.

Dick Cheney has died, which implies that he had a soul. And if he had a soul, that begs the question why he didn't use it when he had the chance. Thanks for all the war, Dick. Good luck where you're going, I think you're going to need it.

Big surprise: the guy that committed mass murder over the weekend: Trump voter. I would say Conservatives have a hate problem, but the people who will hear that comment already know and the ones who need to realize will deflect SO hard.

I admit I can be clueless from time to time but I'm at the Lowe's in Knoxville TN and I can't find saws. Not hack, not crosscut, not even drywall/jab saw. I'm a pro handyman and know these places well, but WHERE are the saws? I can find every variety of saw _blade_, but no SAWS.

Good. Musk's demonstrated fealty only to himself makes him a tenuous asset at best.

Besides its flights to the International Space Station and Starship program, SpaceX is deeply embedded in the Department of Defense. The feud between Elon Musk and President Trump could end all that.

Question: Why would anyone come watch the World Cup or the Olympics here, when we have made it clear so many are not welcome?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

VANCE: We'll have visitors from close to 100 countries. We want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the games. But when the time is up, they'll have to go home, otherwise they'll have to talk to Secretary Noem AUDIENCE: 🦗😳🦗😳

WTF ARE YOU, BLACKBURN. WTF ARE YOU, HAGERTY AND LEE. Your oaths swore to uphold the Constitution, or did you think it was optional? Everyone gets due process. EVERYONE.

NASHVILLE… heart-wrenching scene as a bus pulls away after ICE & @TNHighwayPatrol terrorized & raided immigrant neighborhoods all through the night… From @raydipietro.bsky.social : www.instagram.com/raydipietro?...

Remember when Margot Robbie told folks on the Graham Norton show about the Aussie saying,"Well, I'm not here to fuck spiders?" You have to wonder what - or WHO - is the inspiration behind that.

If we were a truly moral society, no agency supporting human beings - not just citizens but any person that sought this country for opportunities - would go wanting before we spent the first penny on waging war abroad.
