@BeschlossDC The Bicentennial Minute on CBS. I also attended a celebration at the L.A. Memorial Colisseum with Evel Knievel and KC & the Sunshine Band, among others. We were bussed their from our elementary school. It was great. I was 11.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
@BillShaikin@ByJackHarris That's a big fuck you to a majority of the @dodgers fans, who are likely going to be impacted negatively by Trump's policies.
@TheAthletic Another reason to boycott the @Dodgers. More proof that 95 percent of @mlb players are MAGA 1 percenters who are lot more concerned that their taxes stay low than they are about the $35 beers that fans at Dodger Stadium can’t afford to pay.
HORRIFIC NEW DETAILS on the captivity of Sagui Dekel-Chen, Iair Horn, and Sasha Troufanov:
• They were primarily held in Khan Yunis, only a few hundred meters from Kibbutz Nir Oz.
• Sagui was briefly held in a Gaza HOSPITAL in 2023.
• They were given little food and SALT WATER to drink.
• Hamas interrogated and tortured hostages for intelligence information.
• All of them were cut off from the media.
• Sagui and Iair were held together, alongside 3 other hostages.
• Sasha spent almost his entire captivity in isolation.
• They spent the majority of their captivity in tunnels.
• Iair was originally held with his brother, Eitan, but then the two were separated. Before his release, he was forced to speak about his brother on camera.
• They were forced to write “letters of gratitude” to their captors.
Spending 498 days in captivity, knowing your family and home are only a few hundred meters away, is unbearable.
Hamas’ evil is beyond anything we could imagine.
