@AlexandriaVAGov If fireworks are illegal in Alexandria then how are YOU having a fireworks show? Rules for thee but not for me. It’s time to water the Tree of Liberty. #commies
@wsyx6 what good is your tip line if you never answer or call back. Have a major issue happening with AT&T’s incompetent fiber installers and gas lines happening right now. This is after they have hit electric, water and internet this month.
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.
Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the rest aren’t dumb enough to actually think Elon Musk has a trillion dollars in cash waiting to be taxed.
They just think their followers are dumb enough to think that. And they are.
Keep in mind, if Karmelo had plead guilty early on, it would have cut the fundraiser short. His parents chose to send him to trial so they could keep raking in the cash. They don’t love or care about him. Awful people who inevitably raised an awful son. My only regret is that they can’t be thrown in a prison cell along with him.
There has never been more obvious and blatant time in the history of politics that illustrated just how orchestrated and fake and controlled and corrupt the whole system is and still... people keep playing along. It's become like a weird interactive art piece or something.
Unfortunately I don't think I can post what I think should happen to members of Congress who see themselves as "the most powerful people in the country" and believe they operate "on a different level" than citizens.
But it's literally the reason the Second Amendment was written.
It's genuinely fucking hilarious that there is so little white supremacy in the United States that the SPLC had to pay to create it, so they could fight it. lmao
It's tough because I really want to gloat over Jasmine Crockett's loss but the guy who beat her is somehow 100 times worse in every way. Just an absolute depraved evil freak. At least Jasmine was kind of funny because she's so dumb.
I’m so damn tired of the lies and manipulation.
I’m tired of the pandering and pablum and rage bait … of the self‑promotion masquerading as mission.
I’m tired of the sycophantic water‑carrying and coordinated, strategic messaging being passed off as organic.
I’m disappointed at how readily leaders sell out — and how eagerly their followers buy obvious nonsense.
I’m tired of watching people I once respected perform moral gymnastics to climb the ladder of power, forgetting that the reason they started climbing was to do something real and good and true.
In a perfect world, integrity wouldn’t be for sale and mission wouldn’t be leveraged for personal enrichment.
But, of course, our world isn’t perfect.
And all of this disappointment is primarily a product of my own self‑delusion. People are inherently fallible and prone to temptation and seduction. I can’t decide if acknowledging that painfully obvious fact feels more like weary resignation or self-care.
High expectations require emotional fortitude. Impossible expectations are self-defeating.
The reality is that you can’t win if you don’t play, and no one wants to be a loser.
Most are just navigating life as it is rather than as it should be but that’s cold comfort to my sleeve‑dwelling heart.
“Living in a new world, with an old soul” still gets me every time.

Scream into the void long enough and you lose your voice.
Listen to enough nonsense and you forget what’s real.
It’s okay to be tired and disoriented.
I imagine I’m not the only one.
We’re only human, after all.
@nbc4i This is so sad. This honorable officer was forced to resign because of a low life street criminal. What a world we live in. The inmates are running the asylum.
@BradDirks@6ixbuzztv The only reason you exist as a country is because of a beautiful defensive safety net called the U.S.A.
Let’s not pretend otherwise.
@JoeKell03086034@nbc4i Quit going to the ER for “nothing major” you imbecile. Do you understand what ER stands for?
I’ll give you a hint, the E stands for Emergency
@Ailith69@nbc4i@ICEgov I’m pretty conservative myself and although we’d probably agree on many things your post is unintelligible shouting which takes away from your point. Grammar is our friend. #sheesh.
Unpopular opinion: Ilia Malinin needed a humility check 😬
I don’t blame him 100% for the inflated ego. I do think the media got in his head.
I wish him the best at the next Olympics!
Why is a Washington Post reporter being laid off any more significant than any other American in any other job being laid off?
The level of unwarranted self importance these propagandists possess is sickening.
