This is the type of shit that needs no words to troll itself.

This is actually real… he’s really posting infomercials plugging this…

Using America’s 250th Anniversary too…

More like… “As my dad tanks the economy as fast as he can, nothing is more patriotic than getting your hands on some Don Jr Gold to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary in case it’s our last”

This is SNL material or even better #smokefleet material

Wemby is our generations Lafayette. In a time of great need, a French teenager/ young adult came to America and helped lead his new adopted country to victory against tyranny (foul baiting unethical OKC bullshit)

This is what Trump's done to the people's house:

A third of it is rubble.

Another third is a cage match.

What a metaphor.

More money is being spent to defeat @RepThomasMassie than any other U.S. House member in history.

Not because he can single-handedly change legislative outcomes—he has just one vote.

But because he exposes the lies and corruption of those who hold political and financial power.

They are hoping for this knowing it will be the only Cyclone touchdown in Iowa City this year.

Evangelical Protestants just lost their argument for idolatry against Catholics forever.

@OhioColt57 I've had it for what feels like 10 years. I use the included YouTube music app.
Sure, Spotify is great, but YT music is just fine and I get both for the same price as Spotify. It's been a no-brainer for me for a decade.

If only there was some way to find out which team was better between Vanderbilt and Iowa:

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

A primary theme of right-wing politics throughout the 1990s and into 2000s (not GOP politics, but right-wing politics) was vehement opposition to armed federal agents on US soil acting against US citizens (things like WACO and the Randy Weaver shootings illustrated that).

Then a GOP administration exploited 9/11 to create DHS, and now armed federal agents under DC's control on US streets, operating against Americans, is a staple of right-wing politics.

[Jenin Younes @JeninYounesEsq]

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.

It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.

ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.

Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.

I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

[eSECpn @eSECpn]

I know this is parody but let’s take a look back at the preseason AP Top 25:

If you had to guess without looking, how many teams do you think the SEC had ranked before season start?

SEC had TEN. 10/25. 40%.

Big 10 had 6
Big 12 had 4
ACC had 3

It’s also laughable to see how these team’s seasons turned out.

Diego Pavla wasn't even the best QB in this game... He's a Heisman runner up??

It just means more.

[Dan - Gopher Insight @GopherInsight]

Vanderbilt's storybook season ends to an Iowa team who wasn't ranked a single week in the AP Poll.

Many questioned if a win over Iowa this year was even a good win and some thought their CFP #23 ranking was egregious.
