Okay, so on the one hand, pull-up bars in the airport are a transparently terrible idea, and on the other, if you put up a pull-up bar ANYWHERE, I'm gonna give it a rip, and that's been the case since I was 11.

"So I sez to Rusty I sez, hey, why don't we have a CrossFit in each terminal, just do some goblet squats and some Russian twists, well, maybe not _Russian_, but I guess that's okay now, right? So we just do a few Tabatas and an AMRAP finisher and we just get on the plane"
Duffy: "My daughter pointed out a video from Dr. Paul Saladino where he was complaining that there are no pull up bars in airports, which prompted me to call Sec. Kennedy to give me Paul's number to start the conversation."

Could swear there's some kind of name for the phenomenon where prices that used to be lower are now higher
Brooke Rollins: "This weekend you signed an executive order on looking into the reason that so much of these costs have been driven up over and over. Equipment, fertilizer, seed, etc. Why have to understand why that is."

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

His personal chef has always made him prescription turkeys
Kevin Hassett: "Turkey prices were down 19 cents. I bought two different ones because some other show was criticizing me because I said, 'Oh, generic turkeys are pretty good.' So I made two this time and I didn't really notice the difference, so buy the cheaper turkey next year, folks."
