Tom Petty was once on a festival bill where Springsteen with the headliner. Meatloaf comes offstage after his set, and says to Petty, "don't worry, they aren't booing, man. They're just chanting "Bruce!"

"Uh, what's the difference?"
Have they tried this move yet?

A couple thins:
1. he's slurring. He doesn't seem drunk, but was he dropped on his head or something?
2. What's with the "effective immediately"/"effective today" repetition? Like, did he get to the end of that sentence, forget how he started it, and then circled back just to make sure?
Homan in Minneapolis: "Effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people effective today."

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

When radical leftist ideologues at places like the Cato Institute start promoting a worldview that indiscriminately ejecting immigrants could have negative cons...

What's that?

Getting word that @cato.org may not be radical leftists after all.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Shutting down JFK and LGA, EWE, ORD, SFO, LAX, etc will definitely not negatively impact the economy. Not at all.

And if the states containing those cities went ahead and let the red states fend for themselves, well, I'm sure they'd thrive without the drag of economic prosperity.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

It's quite the admission about the US economy.

Ofc, he does leave out that Biden's economy was Trump 45's economy and that inflation was a global phenomenon (exploited by big corporate).

17 consecutive quarters of growth later... When Trump took office, all had to do was not do anything he did.
