@midwestern_ope They deserve more love for their 80 mph speed limit.

These people's paranoia went so far they thought the Speaker of the House was using Nazi imagery in the House letterhead. But an actual Nazi symbol on one of their candidates and they are full of nuance.

The Platner tattoo story isn’t about Platner. It's about the people who spent years calling everyone on the Right a Nazi for the slightest association, only to line up like rank-and-file partisans behind a Democratic Senate candidate who wore a literal SS Totenkopf tattoo for 18 years. It's a story about how years and years of moral indignation from the Very Serious People™ class proved to be a paper-thin veneer over your team jerseys.

I dunno, man, it’s so odd that the list of things that make one a probable white supremacist doesn’t include a Nazi tattoo. I remain convinced a Nazi tattoo is a useful heuristic for “dumb and bad in the extreme” and one you’d absolutely use if you didn’t have a political need for him to beat Susan Collins. I reject the political DARVO that I’m the problem for not being supportive enough of this Marine bc I’m noticing a Marine who wants to be a Senator has a Nazi tattoo. It’s a fiction he didn’t know what it was and his old posts, former political director, and academic history and focus refute it.

It really is remarkable how awful the Biden administration was. A mixture of spectacular incompetence, malicious disregard for common sense, and political extremism It flies under the radar because Biden was mentally gone, but the whole thing was a massive trainwreck

Nice job, Pete.

If the government can shut off your car, then it’s not YOUR car anymore. Kill the Kill Switch!

Indescribably evil. It’s okay to root for America against the “death to America” assholes in this regime. Really.

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

Baseball was invented so people could measure very large hail

@pubity The best part is how this was all passed by a special class of political parasites that get driven everywhere.

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

Yeah, I don't credit Fauci with my being alive. I do credit him with making American life miserable, with making up false standards of when the pandemic would be over, with lying about gain-of-function, and with being the most unjustifiably self-satisfied person on the face of the earth.

@midwestern_ope The most true post on this whole site

The Midwest is over hated and it’s beauty understated

What's most interesting to me is the language used, here and by many Tech Bros, re: AI. "We have to..." "Don't be left behind..." "You're not keeping up..." "Going to make your life easier and better..." "You have to understand..." "We have to use it." Patently ridiculous language. No one "has to" use anything. Everyone is on their own path and no one is "being left behind" at any point. Use of this type of language is nothing but an attempt to introduce fear and a lack of choice to you. You have nothing to fear, and you have free will, always. That is never not true. Never.

@UziCryptoo the fraud isn't 20 years of theft. the fraud is 20 years of nobody asking how a town comptroller bought 400 horses

We have sent a notice to cease & desist to the Milwaukee Brewers. Having rain fall inside a stadium with a closed retractable roof is the intellectual property of the Montreal Expos.

Mississippians looking at how poor Brits are:

Springfield took a one-time $15.6 billion federal COVID bailout and used it to permanently bloat the state bureaucracy. Spending on "human services" alone jumped 64% in just three years, padding the payroll with 5,500 new state employees. Now the pandemic is over, the federal funds are gone, and Illinois taxpayers are on the hook for a projected $21 billion deficit. It’s not a revenue problem. It is quite literally a spending problem. But some of us already knew that. illinoispolicy.org/illinois-must-…

The Obama Presidential Library is making people show and ID for proof of Illinois residency to get in for free. So, Illinois residents have to show an ID and prove who they are to get into a library for free but they don't have to prove who they are to vote in their elections.
