You know who’s a perfect metaphor for the GOP? Scott Jennings.
A pundit who mocks Trump with us during commercial breaks — but fawns over Trump when the camera is rolling.
Brave enough to speak out… in the green room.

Doesn't it seem a little strange to leave your job as a US Senator for a job that you'll have for 2 years max

@ColtonSeal @teddyschleifer Where is this at in Austin?

JD Vance is raising money tonight at Joe Lonsdale's place in Austin, per invitation.

@jeff_of_norwich I mean 2 weeks if you’re lucky. Also depends on the company, sometimes you get looked down on for taking time off. Other companies want you to use it. They staff so slim that it is rather burdensome to take time off. It’s wild.

I refuse to believe that Americans only get two weeks off a year
That's bloody criminal
You should get at least five, NOT including public holidays

@GovPressOffice You’re right! They are fraud farms!

Pro-tip: Daycares aren’t content farms. If you show up demanding access to film children, don’t be surprised when the cops show up.

@MattWalshBlog I did quite enjoy the LILO and Stich one tho

My kids do not prefer the “live action” remakes of any of these cartoons. They always prefer the original animated versions. The sad reality is that these slop remakes actually exist mostly to appeal to perpetually adolescent millennial adults who are obsessed with their “nostalgia” for the entertainment they grew up with. Of course the original Moana came out like 5 seconds ago so nobody really grew up with it. I really have no idea who this is for.

The new trailer for the live-action ‘MOANA’ remake has been released. In theaters on July 10.

Before you head to the airport:
Print your boarding pass
Turn off Face ID / fingerprint unlock
Delete your social media apps
Airplane mode
Turn your phone off and put it away

@GavinNewsom @realDonaldTrump Schumer shutdown! Senator Schumer needs to be thrown out of Congress. What a worthless idiot.

@danielsgoldman Hell yes. More seats for Americans! Love it.

ICE is not at airports to help TSA and reduce lines. They are there (without identification) trying to arrest people, exactly as I predicted.
ICE must be abolished.

@DaveWilliam24 @CultureCrave Joe Biden and Obama didn’t break up Ticketmaster. They are horrible people. I agree.
English
@really_rational @CultureCrave I’m not your research assistant. Do your own digging and draw your own conclusions, you can do it little guy !
English
Donald Trump personally intervened to help Ticketmaster avoid a breakup
• Live Nation donated $500K to Trump's inauguration fund
• They also hired lobbyists with close ties to the Trump admin
• Ticketmaster directors got caught bragging about 'robbing [fans] blind'
• Trump previously claimed he would be tougher on bad behavior with ticketing and fees

@LauraLoomer Do babies crying on a plane annoy people? Yes for sure! Do we get mad at a parent for what a baby does? Not at all. You stupid ugly cunt.
English
I knew this would be a banger.
It’s ok to admit screaming babies annoy you! 😅
There is no shame in liking peace and quiet.
Laura Loomer@LauraLoomer
Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@briebriejoy 2007- “Can’t believe you’re just watching videos on that YouTube website all casually”

I can’t believe so many of you are just casually using AI.

@DaveWilliam24 @CultureCrave Happens all the time? When?
English
@really_rational @CultureCrave Forced divesture for unfair monopolies happens literally all the time. And Google is currently under investigation has been pending for awhile. Literally look it up...the DOJ has a dedicated antitrust division.
English
@DaveWilliam24 @CultureCrave Back in the day? When was that?
English
@really_rational @CultureCrave Trump's DOJ could absolutely break up monopolies and it's been done many times before. The Rockefeller oil monopoly and AT&T back in the day to name a couple...
English
@DovySimuMMA Right. And seems bones was offered 30 million for a fight and turned it down so everyone needs to shut the fuck up. UFC provides a platform for someone like Conor to turn Proper 12 into hundreds of millions. It’s what you make it.

@hasanthehun Don’t let this guy back in @SenMullin

yeah the us law is fucking stupid. i didn’t break it but this post is the only one that ironically acknowledges the comical us restrictions on what us citizens are allowed to do in cuba. the “5 star hotel” is one of the few hotels the us gov allows americans to legally stay in.

BTW, Hasan just broke US law. Oh, and he could face a $250,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison once he gets back to the states. Hey FBI, get on it.

@elonmusk @JoeTegtmeyer Why is the top no covered in solar panels?
English
No, that’s just the little advanced technology fab, where we will be iterating on chip designs.
We couldn’t possibly fit the Terafab on the GigaTexas campus. It will be far bigger than everything else combined there.
Several locations for Terafab are under consideration. It needs thousands of acres and over 10GW of power at full scale.
