"unlimited free welfare"

Not only is this a flat out lie, the implication that *anyone* is living high on hog on welfare is ludicrous.

In their personal lives, of course poets, are famous for being Real Housewives levels of messy.

I'm confused. While it may not be true of every poem, being concise is usually considered a key element of what makes a poem a poem.

If it was Biden's fault why did the most recent $14 billion farmer bailout occur during Trump's first term, also?

I know little about poetry but I do know that it focuses on being concise, organized and, finally, directly concerned with morality, empathy and every aspect of the human condition.

It's WILD you'd think those aspects are useless in any position where you need to communicate, esp about victims.

I took Latin for 5 yrs. It's a dead language.

Fast forward. I got into a good school bc I aced the verbal SAT. Why? Bc Latin is the basis of western langs, learning it greatly enhanced my understanding of language.

Don't dismiss something as not having value bc you don't see an obvious benefit.

Is he trying to kill the sales of her book?

We need better villains. It's honestly so humiliating that the people destroying the county are such unbelievable dopes, who can't construct a believable lie if they had a gun to their heads.

It would be quicker, easier and far more cost effective to simply launch this man into the sun.

I think I'm going to be sick. Why did you say this?

I'd pay serious money to have my memory wiped so I could watch it again for the first time.

He's gotta be wearing earplugs as he walks the halls of the Capitol, too.

You gotta work REALLY HARD to not know as much as Johnson doesn't know.

Hegseth loves blowing people up, clearly. He doesn't hide it. There's absolutely no chance he didn't stick around for FOUR MINUTES, while the smoke was still rising from the attack he ordered.

Is anyone, even MAGA expected to believe this crap?

That's how bad this is, that such a spectacularly pathetic and unconvincing argument is the best they could come up with.

It's Tennessee... There are places in the country where Republicans have a huge advantage. That it's been whittled down to a small margin IS GOOD NEWS and even better news for upcoming elections in less backward states.

Probably because you did the hard work of "just not being a massive pos."

Certainly, the military top brass are going to require every order to be documented, vetted and signed in triplicate with witnesses from here on out.

I think the WH's ability to perpetrate shady ops under military cover is gonna be sharply limited from here on out.

Every single picture of him looks like he's just been caught leaving the bar bathroom rubbing his nose.

Seriously, I've never seen anyone as clearly and consistently high as a kite as this guy.

One of these is not like the others.

They're cutting him loose. No one deserves it more.

Yup! Not a vegan but lived in perhaps the most vegan populated area of the country.

I've run across approximately 1 militant vegan. Loudly anti-vegans? Hundreds of them.

Generally, I've only seen vegans speak up when someone is being an ahole targeting their veganism.

It's funny how even in his book, the boats clearly don't have the range to reach US waters.

The classic trope. Suddenly supporting gay marriage cause their daughter came out of the closet.

That's great! Are you gonna not be an ahole for anyone else? Oh, nope?

I imagine it is exhausting to come up with lies about why you're not doing your job and why it's all someone else's fault, all while making excuses for the lunatic that runs your party.
