We don’t live in a democracy if our elected leaders fail to implement the will of the people

The divide in America is between those who think this is hilarious and those who find it horrifying.
(H/T It’s hilarious)

This might actually be Trump's funniest moment 😂 Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran? Trump: "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" 💀🔥😂

@JohnRileyPoway @RepNancyMace Another thing the majority won't get!
English
Name one case besides the Epstein network where this much evidence existed and so few arrests were made.
We’ll wait.

@TheFP @KonstantinKisin How's it going to end? My prediction is that Trump sees another squirrel that he wants to dominate and will effectively walk away from the conflict with no long-term lasting result.
English
“The things that people are saying about the rationale for this conflict are not true,” says @KonstantinKisin.
“I do not believe that Iran was about to pose a threat to the United States… Currently, as I sit here, I don't understand the strategy… I am seriously concerned this will drag on... I’m struggling to see how this ends well at this point.”

@Arkypatriot You are right - she is breaking a cultural taboo. Which is why this is so genuine.
Somewhere up there, Shinzo is smiling.

This is so adorable. I thought the Japanese Prime Minister would bow. Instead she ran for a hug from the president,

@Mollyploofkins I'd love to meet Trump's and Vance's script writer. It's got to be the same person.
English
Vance says Americans should find comfort in the fact that our allies are "suffering more than we are" from high gas prices
English
@TheAliceSmith Yes, that's it for sure. It has nothing to do with altruism and self-sacrifice as preached by all religions.
English
Secularism has proved the gateway drug to full-blown Islam.

@CatoEdwards I'm just starting to notice -- and correct me if I'm wrong -- the government sure does seem to be involved in managing our lives in a whole lot of areas!
English
Federal Crop Insurance: Taxpayers will fund it $14.7b in 2026, with $9.6b going to wealthy farmers and $5.1b going to big insurance companies. 10% of the wealthiest farmers get 56% of the subsidies. It's an absurd program. cato.org/blog/federal-c…

@StephenMoore You could also say:
"President Trump is trying to cover his ass by waiving this 106-year-old law for 60 days."
but I'm sure that nobody would be so crass as to do that.
English
A Jones Act waiver at last!
President Trump is cutting costs for Americans by waiving this 106-year-old law for 60 days. Covering oil, gas, coal, and more.
This is a bold move that hopefully paves the way for permanent reform!

Here's a throwback to 2012 with a little study for a painting of Nike that I never got around to painting. Maybe one of these days.
I think this was 9x12-inches...it was definitly oil on canvas panel.

@ramez How about instead: Get rid of governments that have the power to impose things such as ethanol mandates. Treat the illness, not the symptom.
English
Ethanol mandates are in direct conflict with feeding the world, have no impact on American energy security, and are at best neutral for climate (probably negative). Kill them with fire. Sink them with the Jones Act.
Nicholas Decker@captgouda24
About five percent of the total caloric production of the world goes to making ethanol, which doesn’t even reduce emission! Learn why we should get rid of the Renewable Fuel Standard here: nicholasdecker.substack.com/p/get-rid-of-t…

I'm making one of these about myself, calling it The Last Straight Man in America
Dr. Richard Harambe@Richard_Harambe
🤣he’s made a documentary about himself and titled it “the last republican”🤣🤣🤣
English
I'd say it got worse after the government screwed around with medical insurance during/after WWII. Everything government has done since then has made things worse.
I wonder what percentage of people living today even know about the taxing laws that made personal insurance unaffordable and transferred medical insurance to businesses who were allowed to write it off, thus tying insurance to one's job?
English
@VigilantFox It got worse AFTER govt expanded Medicare for Rx medications.

LISA KUDROW: “Remember when medicine wasn’t big business? Because in the ‘70s, it wasn’t. It was still like the healing arts.”
BILL MAHER: “Healthcare is a mess in this country for many reasons.”
“But the top probably would be… the fact that a hospital is run very much like an airline.”
“They don’t want any empty seats on an airplane, and they don’t want any empty beds. That’s why when there’s a crisis, they’re overrun.”
“They should have excess space, but that would hurt the bottom line.”

@davepl1968 @TheSkepticWiz "One could argue that the planes that DON'T crash are the ones supported by prayer, I suppose."
The great thing is that you can substitute any word for "prayer" in this statement and it still makes exactly the same sense. For example, try "air," or "momentum," or "kumquats."

@TheSkepticWiz One could argue that the planes that DON'T crash are the ones supported by prayer, I suppose.
You guys stay up late worrying about this stuff?

@TheAliceSmith Hey JD, now do one for what the US is turning into.

@komonews Taxes: Goooooood
Road maintenance: Baaaaaad
Privatize all roads and let actual competent humans take care of business. Governments have continually proved that they are incapable of managing this job regardless of how much they steal from us.

King County is at a crossroads over a dire crisis in transportation funding, and an increased sales tax is one solution under consideration.
The county’s Road Services Division needs about $200 million each year for maintenance and safety improvements, but has only a fraction of that amount on hand.
On Thursday, the King County Transportation District (KCTD) will consider a proposal to increase the sales tax by 0.1% for the next 10 years.

"The Cesar Chavez Garden in Beacon Hill said it plans to bring down its sign and rename the community space."
The fallout is devastating. Oh, the humanity!

Yes, you're right, they are vampires. The distinction was lost on me because of how absolutely ridiculous -- and disappointing -- I found the movie. You have to admit that most acted more like mindless zombies than your traditional, somewhat rational, vampires, so easy to get confused.
Still, a chainsaw would have been nice. :-)
English
@cjsmall @Howlingmutant0 There are actually zero zombies in this movie!
English
I admit I haven’t seen sinners (not racist, other reasons) but every clip or bit of promotional material I have seen make it look like the corniest movie ever made
