What would Keanu Reeves do? Try that. Science. Math. History. Literature. Film and stage. Happy in any environment where people are reasonable and compassionate. Merciless to those who punch downward. Working on being a better person (eventually). No bots.

The natural result of hiring LEOs who have six months of academy training on weapons tactics, then feeding them a steady diet messages of being constantly threatened by the public they are intended to serve.

Now prosecute him‼️ Resignation is not accountability. #JusticeForKohenWiley

He’s cheap and always available for live segments. They don’t care if he’s relevant or well informed.

Why is he still talking? More importantly, why is anyone giving him an audience? Some people don’t know when to call it a day. I’m not surprised by this, but I am pissed off. I’m 63 and I’m amazed people like him don’t see that the DSA is what is needed now. What are they afraid of?

El-Sayed reminds me of a similarly skilled midwestern orator from Chicago. Who went on to serve two terms as president.

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

The parenting advice here is a stark contrast, no, a diametrically opposed one, from how the majority of media (even text messages and mass email during campaign years) attempts to condition us: React. Stay indignant. Don’t look beyond the surface. Assign blame. Avoid challenges, esp. to beliefs.

I’m wrecked. A hero. A human being. Thank you, ma’am, for your example. May your soul find its reward and we will all find joy in our memory of you.

I have stepped away from the commode with a higher approval rating of my work.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."

Shocking.

Ashley Brouillette has identified her ex-husband, David Brouillette, as the officer who fatally shot Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday. She said she learned he was the officer responsible when he called her on Wednesday. n.pr/44xGCBl

Please. If you never read anything else I say, watch Matt, Mr. Global, a respected oil and gas exec who knows the fossil fuel industry better than any other pundit or guest speaker appearing on major news channels. Trickle down corporatism. This bullshit fallacy is the root of our economic woes.

This is why the USA has little old/nice stuff. It needs proper care & refurbishment not profit/political care and refurbishment. It was a beautiful landmark, it could be again, as at least he has not knocked anything down here. Many are not laughing, but feel pity or fear for many USA citizens.

This is a felony known as extortion. On a wide scale, racketeering. We shall see if it’s just an idea or whether they think they can enact it. No judge who ever studied the Constitution should let this stand. When the pendulum finally swings back on the criminals it’s going right up their asses.

It’s like we have a shittier, more criminal version of Biff Tannen from Back to the Future 2 carving up our country to sell and keep all the proceeds himself.

When we have a real president again, he or she will have to waste inordinate amounts of time cleaning up the terrible mess created by this awful mistake of a human who never should have been allowed near the levers of power.

Stephen Miller is what you get if you squeeze Trump’s diaper.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Stephen Miller: “We don’t check…” and “if you say your kids are hungry, you are going to get food stamps.” That’s a lie! SNAP applicants have to verify identity, income, household size, and citizenship or immigration status. Fraud rates are historically low.

To paraphrase the adage. A company has 99 employees and hires a bigot (who displays “Confederate” flags and Nazi swastikas on his person or vehicle while working). No one corrects his behavior or suspends him. Now the company employs 100 bigots. Allocate your dollars accordingly.

I seem to recall the federal government looking like they have their collective heads up their collective asses when prosecuting peaceful protesters in Chicago at some point in the past. Am I smoking dope?

I wonder which was funnier. When gigaChad couldn’t drive any further to show off his restaurant sink on wheels to chicks, or when Suzy and Mark tied their minivan to his tiny truck nutz to free it.

Imagine having to get towed out by a minivan...🤣🤣

These are not the people who represent what is best about our society.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Plausible: Krasnov’s posts are on a custom delay set up on his own platform. Each one spawns a message to his FSB handlers. (He’s probably unaware.) Putin’s proxy traders take care of the rest. YSK “Krasnov” essentially means “handsome.” Classic Russian wit, to stroke his ego while using him.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

Wow. JD Vance admonishing the pope on theology. I did Nazi that coming.

Forbes@forbes.com

The Pope’s comment comes as he has traded barbs with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, the latter of whom recently said the Pope should be “careful” on “matters of theology.”

This all makes sense once you realize they’re not trying to govern successfully. They’re trying to steal as much money as possible and damage our country so much we won’t be able to go after them. 🫩
