Watching Charlie Kirk get murdered on a livestream and then watching left-wingers celebrate the murder was infinitely worse than your friend getting deported for being in the U.S. illegally.
Maybe take a deep breath and calm down. It’s nice that you care about your friends and want to take care of them, but the constant emotional crashouts are embarrassing.
And for someone who claims that the mere concept of the friend-enemy distinction in politics is evil and Nazi-esque, you sure do spend a lot of time carving out legal exceptions for your friends, spreading false information on their behalf, and smearing anyone who disagrees with you as worse than Hitler.
That doesn’t make you evil, but it does make you a hypocrite and an emotionally incontinent mess who maybe should consider taking a break from the Internet for a while.
This has been probably the darkest 24 hours I’ve ever experienced on social media in my life. The things being said about Samuel, his wife, and his small children are unthinkably evil. There is a segment of the so-called “Christian” nationalist crowd that has given itself completely over to Satan. I’ve never had more resolve to defeat these subversive demons invading the Right and invading Christianity.

I couldn’t agree more. “Christians” who come on here and run cover for someone who flouts our nation’s sovereignty while taking up positions of leadership in the education of our children is truly disgusting stuff and God will judge it.
Amen, Jared!

Lots of conspiracy theories about Brazil stealing the election and yes, there have been a lot of irregularities, but the election has been certified as FAIR by top international observers from California.

Without government, who would raid your home because you complained to an airline that they were flying to low over your property?

How about this, “principled conservatives”, when you start a company that provides global internet services from space, you can be the one that decides whether or not you want the deaths of hundreds of thousands of strangers on your hands.

In an interview last week, administrator of the F.A.A., David R. Hinson, explained why English is the only language used by pilots around the world.
It turns out all the other languages are weird.

Haiti just needs the CATO institute to educate them on how valuable a bunch of third world bottom feeders is for their economy.

Well one country is a gold medal winning independent republic free from tyranny and embracing hockey and protectors and keepers of all of professional sports’ most sacred winning trophy.
The other one is sorry what's the other country? Cold?

“Today, the Fifth Circuit stripped immigrants facing detention in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi of their right to due process”
Today, the Fifth Circuit stripped immigrants facing detention in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi of their right to due process. People who have lived in our communities for years, even decades, can now be locked away with no chance to see a judge or ask for bond. It’s a radical departure from decades of legal precedent and violates the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects everyone.
This ruling leaves tens of thousands of people imprisoned without the government ever having to say why. It is wrong, and we will keep fighting.

Lemieux played 70 games the season he was 29, ended up with 69 goals.
At 10 games in, this puts McDavid on track for 56 goals for 70 games.
Oh, and by 29 Lemieux had won two Cups and beaten cancer.
So no, McDavid isn't touching Lemiuex.

Yes, that is the problem. He wanted a war in Iran. He got it. Every voting group he says Republicans should court are against the unpopular war in Iran. Rather than lay low, be GRATEFUL he got what he wanted, he wants to scold and blame others for the midterms.
This is the definition of chutzpah.
I really try to stay out of these GOP intramural fights, but the biggest reason that the GOP is struggling electorally at the moment is not because they are pandering to "podcastistan" but because we are engaged in an extraordinarily unpopular war that Ben and his friends championed (I'm not making a judgement of the correctness or incorrectness of that war--just of its popularity-- and the massive unpopularity of the downstream effects of that war, especially higher gas prices-- particularly with swing voters.)
THAT is what the numbers say, in about 100 different ways.
Rather than be really f***ing quiet, as anyone with any sense would do in this situation, Ben thinks it's smart to double down and deflect blame to the most important person in Trump's circle that opposed this war, precisely because Ben doesn't trust Vance's views on another country in the Middle East that occupies an unhealthy amount of Ben's attention.
Ben is too smart to go full Mark Levin, but if he doesn't understand that this sort of rhetoric and blame deflection is totally counterproductive in maintaining our coalition, he is going to eventually find that out the hard way.
