In order for US manufacturers to bring back station wagons they would have to first bring back *fucking sedans* lmao
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

One big element of this kind of propagandizing is that it is directly meant to refute medical science. It's not just that Trump is healthy despite his lifestyle - they want to believe Trump is healthy BECAUSE of his indulgent lifestyle. It's like how all these losers love keto diets.

Exactly one year ago today, Syrian rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham began an offensive against the Assad regime named “Operation Deterrence of Aggression”.

It's weird that the French are thought of as cowards who surrender when the U.S. is trying to surrender in a war it's not even fighting in.

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

I am sorry Canadians, it seems your team has been another casualty in the Kendrick/Drake feud. The only way to succeed now is to exile him from your nation to one that also isn't the United States. Preferably the center of a large sea.
