@Joe_McCoy12 Clean hit. You don't get to lean down bringing your head down below shoulder level, and then complain about getting hit in the head.

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

Massachusetts has a larger share of Republicans than Tennessee does Democrats, and Massachusetts has not had a Republican in Congress in decades.

There is not a moral or just reason to require Tennessee, Alabama and South Carolina to carve out special, racially-balkanized Democratic congressional districts while blue states are allowed to gerrymander their districts to prevent Republicans from having representation. The Supreme Court has rectified that antiquated and unfair rule.

When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

[The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial]

New England mastered the art of gerrymandering years ago

The 6 states are 40% Red

They have 33 seats between them

So they have 13 Republicans, right?

Wrong. They have 1.

This is modern day taxation without representation coming full circle to the birthplace of the Revolution

@emma_lingan The worst player on this play was Stamkos. That was an unforced turnover.

From Martin Iles, reposted:

Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something.

The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned.

We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are.

Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard.

Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt.

For these and other reasons, we are not the same.

Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival.

If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast.

So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily?

Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily.

The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline.

Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60.

Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number.

Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556.

The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000.
The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined.

The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day.

"Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs.

How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be.

Militarily, we don't offer squat.

Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims.

Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China.

Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words.

Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves.

And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it.

And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors.

So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it.

And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all.

Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time.

And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

[Dave Rubin @RubinReport]

This is one of the most perfect things the internet has ever created.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internet.

Afroman had his house raided by Ohio Adam County deputies… who found absolutely nothing… broke his door, trashed his place, allegedly had $400 go missing… and then they refused to pay for the damages.

So, like any reasonable rapper would do…

He turned his home security footage into music videos, mocking them.

And then, the deputies sued him for FOUR MILLION dollars… because they didn’t like being made fun of.

And Afroman’s response?

He dropped ANOTHER music video.

In his own words:
“Unconfidential informant lied to Police to get out of some trouble. Adam County Sherriff officers made a mistake by believing the lie. Raided my house, found nothing, refused to pay for the damages and filed a lawsuit against me, Afroman, for exercising my freedom of speech! This is me holding trial in one song. I hope you enjoy it.”

They said his videos “ridiculed” them… so he decided to show them what that actually looks like.

And the best part?

A jury basically said… yeah… you don’t get to raid someone’s home, end up in their surveillance footage, and then cry because they used it to make fun of you.

@ComicDaveSmith So people from country B rape and murder country C because country A invaded B...

@ericadamsfornyc Kinda underscores the importance of the right for citizenry to carry a firearm...

@SilentmanRH @Cappyarmy No, "retarded" is not up there with the "N" word. This is illustrated by your willingness to spell out "retarded" but not the "N" word.

[Iconoclast @AlispeaksX]

Do you know why people were not dancing in the streets when Sinwar was killed?

It’s called civilization.

Khamenei was not Iran and Iranians are not Hamas.

[Apranik 🇮🇷🇮🇱 @patriot_apranik]

PM @netanyahu once said that the second biggest true friend of America in the Middle East is the Iranian people. He was absolutely right!
The entire world finally knows the truth!

@LindyTasteful There's nothing more important than those titties.

@ThomasEWoods We're not bombing "the people" of Iran. We're hitting legitimate military targets and utilizing every reasonable measure to avoid hitting innocent members of "the people".

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Scott Jennings ignites CHAOS on CNN when he asks “how” the SAVE Act strips voting rights from people of color.

ALENCIA JOHNSON: “[Trump] is championing a bill that would take voting rights away from a lot of black people in this country.”

JENNINGS: “Wait, what voting rights is he taking away from black voters?”

ALENCIA JOHNSON: “Oh, if we look at the SAVE Act… That is actually going to continue to disenfranchise overwhelmingly a lot of people of color.”

JENNINGS: “How?”

ALENCIA JOHNSON: “There are so many civil rights organizations that have run the data. If we look at the way that it is going to disenfranchise black voters.”

JENNINGS: “How?”

ALENCIA JOHNSON: “It’s the same reason why Chuck Schumer called it Jim Crow 2.0.”

JENNINGS: “You haven’t said how yet!”

“76% of black voters think we should show an ID to vote, 80% of Hispanic voters, 83% of the American people. Are you saying that black voters are too dumb to know what’s good for them? It sounds pretty condescending to me!”

After Johnson repeatedly failed to say “how,” Abby Phillip stepped in as backup.

What followed was a fiery clash that spiraled into a 3-on-1 debate against @ScottJenningsKY.

@NancyMace @AFpost You are a hottie though!
