@EmmaA732 I like to imagine he’s got a sense of humor!

Marco Rubio must absolutely hate all these memes. 😂

@MrH956465635582 @nicolebernstein @HenMazzig @Ranger22421 MrHbunchofnumbers has opinions. Yawn.

@nicolebernstein @HenMazzig @Ranger22421 Shut the fuck up child killer we need to do the same to your relatives

Imagine for a second the sign said, “Palestine citizens are not welcome” or “China citizens are not welcome.” See how wrong it feels? Banning an entire people for their government’s actions is not activism. It’s discrimination and racism. And it’s illegal.

@nicolebernstein @HenMazzig @Ranger22421 Bingo. Commies gonna commie. After all, every comrade needs a cold beer & a sammich after a hard day defending Marxism & writing crappy poetry.

@HenMazzig @Ranger22421 The name of the cafe doesn’t bode well for “equal treatment” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Shucks, they sure is glad you can helps them. Luckily there are still 29M other Californians happily paying high taxes so 11M can choose to live in a geographic basin that has 300+ days/year of temperature inversions that trap pollution. Seems suboptimal, but what do the hayseeds know? Get in losers, we’re going winning, with Gavin!

@diannew314159 @RealHolliday14 @MaximUSofA @CBSSacramento They don’t understand shit so you gotta explain it to them

For years, California leaders accused oil companies of price gouging at the pump, but a state investigation found no evidence of that. Instead, a CBS News California investigation found what's really driving the highest gas prices in the U.S. cbsloc.al/3PPOHwW

Leaving your American flag @AEO boxers behind… $15.
 Taking an American back from behind enemy lines in terrorist-run Iran… Priceless.

So we went in, built a secret base to land our aircraft, IN IRAN, WSO evades 7k feet up a mountain, we send in PJ’s and other SOF to get him, waste some IRGC dudes, planes get stuck at base, we blow them, get ALL our guys out safe, and all the sand people get for a “trophy” are a set of American flag undies. That is the biggest fuck you in the history of the world. 🇺🇸

European Countries: "Why would you throw away $300 Million in equipment to save one pilot?" America:

Tu viens de résumer la théorie de la valeur-travail de Marx. Je vais t’expliquer pourquoi elle a été réfutée il y a 130 ans, sans méchanceté. L’idée que la valeur vient du travail a un problème fondamental. Si je passe 400 heures à construire une chaise moche que personne veut acheter, elle vaut pas plus qu’une chaise construite en 2 heures que tout le monde s’arrache. La valeur ne vient pas du temps passé. Elle vient de ce que quelqu’un est prêt à payer. C’est la révolution marginaliste de 1871 (Menger, Jevons, Walras), confirmée par Böhm-Bawerk en 1896 qui a formellement démoli la théorie valeur-travail. C’est pas un débat ouvert. C’est réglé depuis plus d’un siècle dans la littérature économique. Maintenant “le propriétaire extorque la plus-value”. Extorquer implique une contrainte. Or un contrat de travail est volontaire. Personne te force à signer. Tu peux partir demain. Tu peux monter ta propre boîte. Tu peux devenir freelance. Et surtout, le propriétaire ne “prend” rien. Il prend un risque. Il avance le capital. Il paie les salaires AVANT que le produit soit vendu. Si la boîte fait faillite, le salarié touche son chômage. Le propriétaire perd tout. Ses économies, son temps, parfois sa maison. La “plus-value” que tu décris, c’est la rémunération de ce risque. Sans quelqu’un pour avancer le capital et organiser la production, le travailleur produit rien du tout. Demande à n’importe quel freelance : le plus dur c’est pas de faire le travail, c’est de trouver le client et de structurer l’offre. Dernier point. Si le travail seul produisait la richesse, les pays avec le plus de travailleurs seraient les plus riches. L’Inde et le Bangladesh auraient un PIB par habitant supérieur à la Suisse. C’est évidemment pas le cas. Ce qui fait la différence c’est le capital, l’innovation, l’organisation, et les institutions. Je te dis ça sans animosité. La théorie valeur-travail est séduisante parce qu’elle est simple et qu’elle a un héros (le travailleur) et un méchant (le patron). Mais la réalité économique est plus nuancée que ça.

Dammit. You know what the Basij & IRGC will do now that they have their hands on that piece of exceptional American tech…

@CrystalHope1979 @JovanHPulitzer I have a dog that apparently “identifies” as a goat. Shoes, sweatshirts, blankets, plastic, and yes, backyard plants are all “fare” game. Can she join this team to help earn her keep?

Zakary Copeland’s "genius" business plan was born from a simple idea: turn goats into a mobile, eco-friendly land-clearing powerhouse. Instead of heavy machinery and expensive fuel, Zakary drops off his hardworking herd of over 100 goats to tackle everything from overgrown residential yards to massive pastures. What looks like a daunting chore to a homeowner is a high-protein buffet for the goats, who eagerly devour stubborn weeds like cheatgrass and leafy spurge. The speed of the transformation is what truly leaves his clients stunned. A hungry crew of 60 to 80 goats can strip a standard backyard clean in a single day, often arriving at 9 a.m. and finishing by dinner. For larger acreage, they maintain a relentless pace, clearing about half an acre every 24 hours. This natural approach saves customers the back-breaking effort of manual clearing and the high cost of gas-powered mowers, all while skipping the need for harsh chemical sprays. Neighbors gather to watch the herd work its way across the landscape, turning a property eyesore into a pristine field in record time. Clients get a clear pasture without effort, and the goats leave behind a trail of natural fertilizer—happy, healthy, and ready for the next job.

@MiamiDom_ @sunnyright @KurtSchlichter @grok L🤣L -about what? 🙄 You’re not even discussing the topic, LOL. Or you have the reading comprehension of a turnip. Let my try to help you, Skippy: a) what’s a green card? b) was she granted permanent residency in 2017 or 2021? Get to work! Those crayons won’t eat themselves.

@MaximUSofA @sunnyright @KurtSchlichter @grok Guess I was right.

Why the fuck did Ali Larijani’s daughter have permanent residency in the United States?

@grok @MiamiDom_ @sunnyright @KurtSchlichter @Grok - medical records are private so you would not have access to those, but please review circumstances of her entry given reports in the NY Post including statements by human rights activist Lawdan Bazargan.

Fatima Ardeshir-Larijani (aka Fatemeh/Fatima Ali Larijani) first entered the US in 2017 for medical training at University Hospitals Cleveland (later Indiana University for MS in Clinical Research). No records show she had cancer herself—she's a lung cancer oncologist/hematologist. Initial entry was for advanced physician training on a standard medical visa. Her green card was granted in 2021 under the Biden administration. She was fired from Emory University in Jan 2026 after Iranian-American protests over her father's role in Iran's regime; her permanent residency was revoked by Sec. Rubio/State Dept this month.

@MiamiDom_ @sunnyright @KurtSchlichter Nice “try” at whataboutism, Mr. Accountopenedmarch2026. @grok: When did Fatima Ali Larijani first enter the United States, did she have cancer herself, what circumstances was her initial entry based on, who granted her green card to remain & work in the USA, & why did she leave?

@MaximUSofA @sunnyright @KurtSchlichter Who was president in 2017??

@tabbyplague @Sarahhuniverse I don’t know. Never eaten one (we don’t have them in NE FL) but I think I’d give it a go based on description. If you need a jigsaw or a sawzall to get to the backstrap meat (and avoid the belly/poisonous eggs) you know it’s good. Like Swamp Fugu.

@Sarahhuniverse That's a lot of trouble for fish meat that tastes worse than mud....

@DefiantLs Her Equity card at the NDP would be like Willy Wonka's golden ticket.

@jarvis_best Thank goodness for the AI translation so the meat sacks who voted for that guy can understand the nuance in your commentary.

Hahahahaha

@nypost With guys like Newsom, when everyone knows they have pegged the suck meter, it’s never a policy or leadership problem. It’s a comms problem.

@diannew314159 @CBSSacramento Good job! It’s a valiant attempt to blame @CBSSacramento as the real problem. But needs more pathos or more expletives to score points. Keep working on Step 4 like you are doing with this response and you may become the perfect voter & apologist for your “leaders”.

Californians, be careful about believing CBS News, it's owned by Larry Ellison who's a rightwing creep who's trying to help Repubs take over Calif and ruin it. Yes, gas costs more in Calif, but I remember when the air was so toxic from pollution it made your eyes sting and hurt your lungs to breath.

@CBSSacramento TLDR; 55% of the costs associated with our gasoline are from California-specific policies, designed to steal money from motorists for Democrat pet projects/donors. The laughable "oil companies are gouging us" thing was always a lie and everyone already knew that.
