Hey, Tucker: If a tree falls deep in the forest and there is nobody closer than 10,000 miles away, does it make a sound?

That ought to keep the wee lad busy through lunchtime.

"American Exceptionalism" is a poorly conceived, lazily presented exercise in ignorant self-congratulation.

The soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknowns behaved exactly as he was trained to do.
Hegseth, of course, remains insecure frat boy unhousebroken.

Keach enjoyed a diversified and extremely busy acting career, including quite a bit of time in the theater. I occasionally rewatch and still thoroughly enjoy The Long Riders (1980). An actor who who seemed to revel in his chosen profession and explored it fully. RIP.

Will she go to werk at a Republican thunktank?

Move to FL, then: tax haven for the uber-wealthy, home of infrastructure shrinkage.

"Junior" says it all for that failson.

Bill Donohue, professional Catholic layman and consummate bore.

The amnesty plan this convicted criminal might have in mind is one where his masked, marauding and murdering enforcers get a pass for behaving like biker bar buster-uppers.

Now cynics claim a little of the cash has gone astray
But that's not the point, my friends
When the money keeps rolling out, you don't keep books
You can tell you've done well by the happy, grateful looks
Accountants only slow things down, figures get in the way ... .

The New Gilded Agers care not a whit about human beings. They've made that perfectly clear. They ought to be regarded and treated accordingly.

An unpopular public figure who would doubtless be perceived as even more odious if she bothered to come out more and play the role from which she grifts and hugely benefits.

Give what Junior says the weight you'd assign the yips and yaps of your poor-to-average cocaine consuming used car salesman.

Big mistake in terms of maintaining/developing municipal infrastructure.

Prior to heading an armed rebellion against the United States, which led to horrific casualties, Jefferson Davis took the required oaths when, pre-war, he joined the military, served in the Senate, and accepted a Cabinet position.

Follow the money.

Oops

Surprised it took this long, but it must be said Old Yeller had some pretty pressing business to attend to: pipes, the movement of water, behavior of algae, and a safe room to autograph, etc., etc., etc. Guess it must have been Susie's name on all those Dump Diaper Don votes, eh? Anyhoo, Steven Miller is perfect for chief of staff in Trump's crumbling bunker. Basically, Eichmann with his bags packed. "Wo ist Steiner?!?"
