@RepLuna Why doesn’t Murkowski offer her own Non-Draconian version then?

@Monlave_300 @KaCurrie_45 Didn’t he just vote no on funding the military? Not exactly MAGA

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

In Georgia I entered a Chick-fil-A drive-thru line of forty cars.

I turned off my engine. I prepared to wait the way my ancestors waited out a siege.

Six minutes later I was holding chicken.

I do not know what happened to the other thirty-nine cars. The line moved like water that had somewhere to be.

A young woman walked between the cars taking orders on a small tablet, on foot, in the sun, smiling like the sun was her idea.

I said thank you.

She said, "My pleasure."

I did not think about it then. I should have.

At the window I thanked the young man for the food.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for the sauce.

"My pleasure."

I thanked him for thanking me—

"My pleasure."

I want to be clear about what was happening.

This was a duel.

In Japan I trained in courtesy for forty years. Bowing angles. Seasonal greetings. The correct depth of apology for seventeen distinct situations.

I was a white belt in that drive-thru.

I escalated. I used my most formal English. I thanked him on behalf of my entire family line.

He said, "My pleasure," and gave me extra sauce.

Extra sauce. Unprovoked. A counterattack.

I returned the next day to reclaim my honor.

It was Sunday. The restaurant was closed.

All of them were closed. In the entire country. They close every Sunday, and they have closed every Sunday since the beginning, because the founder made a promise, and the promise did not expire when he did.

I stood in the empty parking lot and understood I had lost twice.

Once to a teenager with sauce.

Once to a man I will never meet, who kept his word so long it became a building.

In my country we say a samurai's word is his life.

I had never seen a restaurant say it back.

I returned Monday. I ordered. And this time I said it first, before she could.

"My pleasure."

She smiled and said, "It sure is."

America, I surrender.

It was my pleasure.

@MAGAVoice @LuvmyAmerica2 Remind us which stations refused to air the President’s announcement last night? Wonder why?

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@FoxBusiness When 77 million voters voted for Trump and he remains popular with his base, it doesn’t seem to be the smartest business move to go political and lose that many future travellers and their families. Glad I’m not a shareholder.

@BuzzPatterson @CBSNews CBS thinks we are still living in 2020 where people believed their “fact check” BS. Welcome to 2026 and the land of the free.

After tonight, it’s even clearer that the Senate should take the SAVE America Act and continue debating it until it passes

Repost if you agree

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@EricLDaugh They are no longer the go to platforms for news anyway. So who cares.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@EricLDaugh I will be really impressed when you denature the acclaimed communists and deport them. When do we get to see that happen? Please.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@Milajoy @LuvmyAmerica2 Maybe an intelligence test first. Nothing to lose if you started with nothing in the first place.

@nypost @unseen1_unseen So fascinating to watch the lefties eat their own. Probably can place a bet on how many days he has left. The DSA isn’t even waiting for election cycles.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@jackunheard He’s too egotistical to see the writing on the wall. If he were smart he would take the non progressive wing of his party and move to the center to find solidarity with the right. There is no future for moderates in the Dem party otherwise.

@RapidResponse47 @GovTimWalz So as long as you don’t do worse than raping a child, how about murder, then we don’t stand in judgement ? We are a nation of laws or we are a nation of anarchy and chaos. Choose wisely.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@CBSNews That’s the way it used to be.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@MattSeedorff @RickyDoggin How long does it take for them to count ballots in their elections? This is no surprise.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@LadyRedWave They just need to spend $19 million taxpayer dollars to bring in a PR team to improve their image. Just ask Newsom, that’s how it’s done.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@julie_kelly2 Looking at? That referral should have already been in the mail.

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@Brooketaylortv @BigFish3000 Their American dream I guess

[Liberty Gardener @CanWeBeRealNow]

@__0HOUR1_ @Savsays @StephenM No he plays a much broader more impactful strategic role now.
