@WhiteHouse Seems like the bar gets lower and lower on who is a hero.

@EricRSammons As a former prosecutor, I can assure you that enforcement is going to be a problem. Getting a jury to convict is a problem. Also, the police have to do despicable, nasty things even to make an arrest. And then when it's done, is it just a fine or do we send them to prison?

@EricRSammons I grew up being told that a "couple" was exactly two, as in "aren't they a lovely couple." The more general term was "several," which could be in the 3-8 range, but more likely 3-5. Anymore than that and the word might be "many." Or a whole bunch, or a truckload, etc.

@charlesmurray @MusingsInSilico Yes, and now that the boomers are retiring, does anyone really think that the next bunch will do jack squat about it until the whole thing hits the wall?

[Randy England @rmengland]

@DylanoA4 @LibertyEthics Funny, I would say exactly the same thing about having children.

@EricRSammons I wonder what I would get if I took the following prompt to one of my AI friends:

"Dear ChatGPT/Grok/Claude:
~~~Analyze this encyclical and reduce it to 7000 words, make it more readable to a wide audience, all without losing any key points and teachings."

Love it, but it’s 18 cents/gallon. Can we also get rid of the Iran war gas tax? Because that’s hovering around $1.50/gallon.

@RichardAngwin I do not belive you.

@PillarCatholic On unfallen races, read CS Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra.

@EricRSammons Eric, this boomer agrees with you (and Pope Leo), but--more and more--my eyes are finding that the variable size of digital books is winning the argument. Throwing in some audiobooks can fill a few gaps too.

@MarkLucasUSA @VeteranAction I'm trying to figure out if Massie did anything like you suggest. When you don't quote somebody it makes me suspect they never said it . We want to see exactly what Thomas Massey said or authorized to be said on his behalf. Put up or shut up.

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

We’re in the homestretch and it’s coming down to the wire. I’ll win or lose based on what happens in the next two weeks.

That’s why I’m asking you to chip in to another Money Bomb on May 4th.
Let’s finish the fight!

@MassieforKY This is the sort of thing that can backfire. It might just suck out all the gains that $10 million has bought for our hero Mr. Ed.

@EdGallrein Liar

[Randy England @rmengland]

@ThomasEWoods I think she is the reason that women are not supposed to talk in church. Totally ruined it for all you other ladies!

[Randy England @rmengland]

@EdGallrein I thought SEALS were supposed to have courage. Debate Massie.

[Randy England @rmengland]

@50ShadesOfEndo I'm sure you are trolling, else you would be too stupid even to breathe.

@JohnyFoodStamp @tsidpod I wonder whether sound could travel from the astronaut's gloved hand and through his suit to his radio microphone. I know nothing about it, but has that been ruled out?
