It is pretty wild to remember that a large portion of the population live in an alternative reality built entirely on words, with no connection to the real world that we all share.
The funny backstory is that Hamadeh has the biggest office of any rank-and-file member because he took the large room dedicated to a staff bullpen for himself and then forced all the staff into the much smaller room which is usually used by members for their own offices
I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story:
- Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system.
- Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parents’ pool hall.
- In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel.
- Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle.
- Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally.
- Humble. Devoted to his constituents.
- Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues.
- That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family.
RIP to a self-made American original.
I have zero respect for “right wing” people who spent years acknowledging how the left wants us dead but then see this deformed troon-loving freak and say “Erika Kirk/Israel did it”. Absolute retards.
Genuinely cannot imagine being so raped that you see absolutely EVERYTHING, even football of all things, through the prism of Israel, as if Jews are the main character and we’re mere goyim with no autonomy at all
Ironically, this is the most Jewish worldview one can adopt
Why I'm so down on democracy: guy is worried about a datacenter's impact on the Wisconsin River, while living 35 miles from an ethanol plant for half his life that uses 3 times as much water as a datacenter.
@Virgil_Est70BC@Lionspectre I mean no one expects him to be. Everyone expects it to be Vance or Rubio. He hasn’t been spoken about as a potential candidate by pretty much anyone.
Tonight myself crispy, and huck planned to go to the river and talk about the 4th of july for a YouTube video.
We saw a guy in his 20s who was in the parking lot who just…..seemed down. He was sitting in his car and you could…you could tell he was down…
So i asked him if he wanted to walk with us and we were just going to go hangout and film a YouTube video by the river. He agreed to come with, and hung out for a couple hours and we were able to really have some serious conversations.
Bud has been really struggling lately, and we let him know we workout regularly locally. He is and has been in a REALLY low state; but we had some great conversations….Hopefully he shows up to local events.
We gave him steak, potatoes, and water and he was over the moon grateful….but mentioned many times how hard it was to trust anyone and how terrible the world was again and again.
Fantastic reminder of how many men are struggling, and how much men just need a fellow man to rant to, how many men NEED friends.
I truly hope we were able to get through to this man.
It was a great conversation and a great evening.

Honestly I want this person's loan forgiven as she is clearly mentally incompetent, and whatever college that pretended to educate her be charged with her entire balance
The DSA is going to continue to win victories all over America. We’re coming up on some very Schmittian moments, but the vast majority of conservatives would rather have DSA victories than challenge the religious commitment to democracy that is facilitating it.
Movement conservatives have no political answer to the extreme Left, because, as was true in 20th century Europe, the Left exploited the very systems conservatives hold as sacrosanct. Once communism and other forms of Leftism take political root in a country, extraordinary mechanisms are required to take care of it. This what fascism was. It was the contextually European movement to expel communism from Western civilization.
The conservative is always against extraordinary mechanisms. Conservatives would rather dream of better days. They think that if they can plug their ears the drumbeats of revolutionary leftism will stop—because to them, America is simply inevitable. All we have to do is wait it out. But what if America is not inevitable?What if it actually has to be fought for? What if extraordinary action is required? At that moment we put aside the charming conservatism and embrace counter-revolution.
We transcend the petty normalcies of democracy and engage extraordinary politics—the politics of the exception. We become Schmittian, not because Schmitt blueprinted out some utopian ideal, but because Schmitt made us admit that retaking our nation was more important than being nice, than tolerating evil, than living up to the religious demands of mass democracy.
Someday soon the state of emergency will come. We need men who are preparing now for the political stakes of that moment.
Hi Ashen,
I've just sent 80% of the coin $scammer to your wallet. At the time of airdrop, it's value was $650,000. As a resident of New York, upon receiving this token, you immediately incurred an income tax bill to the tune of $310,000
I then removed the LP making the token worthless but unfortunately due to the backwards laws of New York you still owe the full tax amount
As a reminder, this is the amount you scammed plus an extra 10 in interest
Kind regards
Anyone who knows about Clarence Thomas dissents knows they are almost always short and sweet.
The fact that he wrote a 91 page dissent for this monstrosity of a decision on birthright shows how absolutely infuriated he is.
