It might look like he's creating the 3rd most garish steak house in the DC metro area but the signage suggests he just can't remember where his desk is

What’s going on with Trump’s gold ‘Oval Office’ sign?
We asked design experts to read the writing on the White House wall and tell us what they see.

One good thing about Bari Weiss is that she articulates the worldview of the 0.00001% with total clarity, and thereby makes it obvious that they are dangerously out of their minds.

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe, Charlie Brown. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark, near the Tannhauser gate.
I find your lack of faith disturbing, Charlie Brown.

We must win the war against Russia for the same reason that we had to win the war against the Axis powers eighty years ago.
In both cases, there could not, and cannot, be a half-victory. That would make no practical or concrete sense, given the nature and aims of the enemy.
Period.

Every #mnVikings fan wants #JJMcCarthy to succeed in what's left of 2025. #skol! And Not Bc there's any salvaging this. But rly just to boost JJMC's stats = bc he needs TO GO in the offseason. #nottheguy. And rt now? his QB stats are garbage. Trade value: garbage.

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

So tired of these smug a*holes, and whataboutisms, and #justmovetoTexas b.s.🙄
I'm sure Texas is FINE for a cheap Coors 6pack.
Until you need a hospital (& there isnt one). Or until power grid fails (again!). Or unless you're a brown person and out in public w/o your papers.😵

Oddly enough, in media coverage of Dems' video warning against carrying out illegal orders, there's very little discussion of *whether it's actually reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal commands or not.*

The evidence is strong that he is. Media should say so:

Remember "Hang Mike Pence, Hang Nancy Pelosi"?
We're back to that AGAIN.

In Minnesota, #1 top slop is the hot beef plate (also called "hot beef commercial", which alludes that it's an old-school diner staple?).
Longtime MNsotans know this to be true. Don't talk to me✋about Jucy Lucy 🍔🧀, that's food for the tourists.

"Missed connections"
Jeez. Trump reposted a call to execute six Democratic members of Congress, and it’s not on the front page of the NY Times, and this is the headline—no mention of hanging lawmakers.

I want everyone to post their hometown slop (if you don't have a cuisine that qualifies then your town has zero culture).

Skyline is fine and hits at 3 am just like taco bell lol
