When the lunch room losers grow up and think they're now the cool kids. But no. They remain as square as square can be. Absolute boxes of everything uncool.

McGovern: "The chairman of the foreign relations committee said some strange things today about how you interpret photos -- somehow if your arm is around somebody that means you're dear friends.

Trump: “…an alcoholic’s personality” Vance: “…a conspiracy theorist for a decade” Vought: “…right wing absolute zealot” Musk: “…an avowed ketamine user” These aren’t the wild opinions of a Twitter troll. It’s coming from the White House Chief of Staff. They are who we think they are.

Elon Musk's decision to destroy foreign aid is a triumph for the John Birch Society. The Birchers have been casting opprobrium on foreign aid since the late fifties, first claiming that it was a tool of Communist hegemony and later that it was a globalist conspiracy.

They are so bad at everything! And that's done on purpose. To not have competent people in these positions. Remember that.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard has quietly enacted a policy downgrading swastikas and nooses from hate symbols to “potentially divisive.” The manual is now in effect, despite public outrage and warnings after the draft was revealed last month. (Washington Post)

Blaming every Israeli for Netanyahu is like blaming every American for Trump or every Russian for Putin or every Chinese person for Xi. Yet people want to destroy or end Israel & only Israel. There's so much hate & racism against Jewish people & too many give it a pass. (e.g. backers of Platner)
