Right. Like anyone paying attention believes the young republicans. This is just a compendium of their statements. It only stands out because of the volume in one forum.

Also, they tried to claim that the comments were doctored.

Narrator's voice: nope. This is who they are.

Lovely people. Not surprising, of course.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

This seems completely normal. 👀

Like when Miller recently said 'I'.

He's running the country, isn't he.

Time to prepare for the insurrection act.

They've got nothing on the Azerbaijan guy in the tumbling competition in Chengdu.

Amazing. Thank you. I really needed this.

Yes! More of this, please.

Not that it will reach the true believers.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Didn’t he grow up in Los Altos? He really could have predicted what life on The Farm would be like...

He is so weird. And not in a good, Portland sort of way.

Thiel's recent lecture tour clearly indicates that he is not a deep thinker, nor is he a good public speaker.

To say that he's incomprehensible is an understatement.

Old White Nepo Hat @kenwhite.bsky.social · 2d

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Same.

What does that even mean?

So the idea that this guy has never tried to punish people who don’t conform to his religious ideas of what’s acceptable is contradicted by his history. And a campaign of harassment against a person who wrote something on their private social media page that he found rude is not a both sides story

Today in 'mountains gonna mountain':

Image of weather forecast for a town west of Calgary, Alberta. The proximity to the Rocky Mountains means that the weather is wild. Yesterday, it was in the high teens. It is currently snowing.

YYC is doing its best: we're in the yearly phase of 25-30 °C daily temperature change.

High today: 18
Low overnight: -5

TBF, We're also about 15 minutes west of YYC, and at higher elevation, and are in the foothills of the Rockies.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Schnapps (Schnappsie, Schnappsadoodle), the red one, is just under 5, and she has a grey chin.

Legolas (Legless, Lego) is the chocolate and tan. She's a bit over 2. We think that she will always look like a puppy.

They are so goofy together.
