The Obligatory Pinned Tweet
I'm on X mostly to vent about life & politics stuff, particularly from my libertarian world view.
And some comedy/magic stuff, too.
Body cam footage out of Palm Beach, Florida, is going viral after a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over and ticketed a woman for using a phone in her right hand while driving, only for the woman to reveal she is an amputee missing that very hand.
Today in 1987, with the Pistons up 107-106 and in possession of the ball in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Larry Bird steals the inbounds pass and hits Dennis Johnson for the game-winner. It remains a thing of absolute beauty.
@Rationaliber@MereLiberty I wish that was the case, but it isn't.
People join groups for different reasons.
Some for shared core values.
Others for grandstanding and the grandstanders are not small-l.
🚨 A Google review left for Ed Gallrein’s horse stable business before he ran for Congress:
“Absolutely beware of boarding your horse here. Ed plays a nice guy persona until one day he doesn't. He's the most rude and disrespectful person l've come across in a long time. Trust me this is not the place you want to board. He has his own horse here that has a festering wound that he's just let go because he won't listen to the vet. He's so stubborn when it comes to care of horses that vets won't go back there. It's not a safe or stable environment for your animals.”
Massie's not only the most conservative member of congress - in the freedom and constitutionalist sense - but also the smartest.
He graduated from MIT with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering and while there, invented a haptic computer interface, founded a technology company in his dorm room, got dozens of patents, and made millions of dollars.
Today the tech he invented is used in surgical training, robotics, and molecular research, among other things.
There are no Ed Gallrein supporters. There are only Thomas Massie haters.
There are no organic Thomas Massie haters. There are only haters manufactured by Donald Trump telling them to hate Thomas Massie.
Gallrein is worse than an empty suit.
He's an empty suit that has pockets loaded with PAC money.
Audience member: "But you're not debating him (referring to Massie)."
Gallrein: "I'm debating him right now."
Puh-leeeeze!
He's like a five year old caught with his hand in the cookie jar who immediately goes for the biggest lie to cover up getting caught.
🚨 Crowd Turns on Ed Gallrein (Thomas Massie's Opponent) at Campaign Event 🚨
Ed Gallrein has been sending out text messages inviting the public to events in a desperate bid to rehab his image as a candidate willing to engage with voters. It's not working. We now have a second video from one of these events and several members of the crowd turn on him. No wonder he no-showed so many early events and refuses to share a stage with Thomas Massie. The more people actually see him, the more they wonder if he was ever meant to win this race.
In the video, a voter directly asks why he won't debate Massie. Gallrein's response? He holds up a Norman Rockwell painting and insists he's "debating Thomas Massie right now" — even though Massie isn't in the room. More audience members pile on with remarks like: "I didn't come here to see your Letterman jacket."
When a campaign staffer tries to defuse the situation by claiming Gallrein had answered the question, several people fire back that he hasn't said anything substantive — just waved around props while dodging policy questions.
Normally at campaign events, if someone challenges a candidate, parts of the crowd rush to defend them. Here? Multiple people joined in the pushback. That's a massive red flag.
I've been told by multiple sources that the campaign is now turning away anyone who looks under 60 at the door — terrified they might actually ask Ed a tough question.
The contrived and false deposition released just one week before my election was conducted by Carey who lost to me in 2012, in the law office of McMurtry who lost to me in 2020, and posted immediately by Deters who lost to me 2024.
Preach!!
I fly around the world performing magic. To make sure my props arrive with me I pack them in my carryon case. When I have to check my carryon because people put their “personal item” in the overhead, they are literally stealing from me the peace of mind my clients paid for.
😂🍪 This dude just walked out of a job interview and immediately recorded this in his car.
He knew the “biggest weakness” question was coming… brain completely short-circuited… and instead of the safe “I care too much” answer, he hit them with:
“Oreos. I’ll eat ‘em until the milk’s gone. Could be two, could be twelve.”
The way he says it with that deadpan delivery and then just accepts his fate is SENDING me.
Man, I genuinely feel bad for the guy… but I’m also dying laughing. We’ve ALL had that one moment in an interview where your brain just yeets itself out the window. Kid’s still out here job hunting. Somebody hire this absolute legend before he stress-eats the entire Oreo aisle.
Who else has completely bombed a “what’s your weakness” question?
Right, can you ever imagine a Supreme Court Justice giving an interview to a Democrat propagandist? That would be insane and wildly inappropriate, wouldn’t it?
