In my scenario, I don't expect them to be joking. Fruit of the poison tree.

JD Vance's kids are not being well-served by their father.

Somehow, tho, I don't expect when Ewan and Vivek's schoolmates call their mother a dirty Indian and suggest she be deported that JD is going to be so cavalier about edgy, offensive jokes.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

If they were still with us, I'd like Mike Johnson to try and tell my grandfathers and great uncles who fought fascism in WW2 that their antifa efforts were un-American.

I will proudly stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic on Saturday. The first of these truths is: We the People do not want authoritarian leadership. You, Mr. Speaker, and the POTUS derive your powers via the consent of a free people.

As free people, we will be heard.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Fruit of the poison tree.

Sadly, many of their parents were almost assuredly just like this in their youth. There's just no traceable record.

Went to a party tonight and met an 89-year-old woman who was friends with some pretty incredible people (ex. Larry McMurtry and Bill Whittliff) and has lived an amazing life of her own. What a badass she is and what a blessing it was for me to hear her stories.

Very happy both adult sons are coming to stay with us this weekend. At first we thought it was to see Mom and Dad but we have since found out the CenTX chapter of antifa pays a higher rate than where they live.

Whatever it takes, right?

These people are so funny. Weiss has one, extremely profitable talent: telling rich assholes what they want to hear. JD Vance managed to get to VPOTUS with that. Your country is just nepotism and patronage now, and that's why you're sucking up to the favoured courtiers.

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Pains me to say on Red River Death Match day that I must acknowledge that of the two, the Governor of Oklahoma is ever so slightly less willing to gorvel the mushroom of the POTUS than the Governor of Texas.

That said, it is 9:01 and OU still sucks. Hook 'em!! #Longhorns

Winning run on second with no out in the 10th, 12th, and 13th innings - and we play on.

Montero got away with 3 consecutive shit pitches to Naylor, who then got himself out on 3-2. Pressure is on.

Unfortunate but not unexpected. If more changes are coming, I'd hope not with the pitching coaches who did a stellar job this past year.
