The memes are hilarious. 1666207463455043584

"We are excited to celebrate Pride Month with our employees and guests. Everyone is always welcome at our table (and our �� rocker). Happy Pride!" Everyone is welcome but if you're gay you get a special chair. That's the entire issue I have with this. There's no straight-pride month. There's no straight-pride parades. If you want equality, sit your ass down in a plain ol' rickety rocking chair like everyone else.

I mean, watching the video it sounds like someone was trying to set bait. Probably why Wal-mart won its case. (allegedly) someone went in acting like a douchebag 5 times, trying to provoke a response and then called a lawyer when it happened.

I don't think he 'joined the swamp' but if he keeps riding the fence, he's gonna get impaled. Still one of the best congressmen we've got hands-down. I'd make that motion to vacate. People in congress won't like him but he'd be doing America a favor by trying to eject McCarthy from the speakership.

You mean in the polls or getting beat on twitter? because I can tell you right now that over half of those who post on his feed are liberal trolls just looking to stir sh*t. If Massie gets raked over the coals by conservatives it'll probably be more like: 1664676630202032128 My understanding that the "McCarthy Compromise" included a clause that allowed any member to make a 'motion to vacate'. If I were Massie I'd do that sooner rather than later because most republicans (particularly the Trump ones, believe it or not) don't care for McCarthy and especially, I would open the debate floor over McCarthy supporting Biden's war in Ukraine with the very blank-check he said he wasn't going to write..

The thing about guns is that when you have to use them in a life-or-death situation, whatever is legal/not legal goes out the window in that moment. Like people who criticize gun owners even in perfect cut-dry appropriate defensive use, saying stupid things like 'he never should have pulled a gun on his attacker and instead tried to run away', that's all fine-and-good but completely irrelevant. Georgia supposedly has a law that prohibits using knives as weapons but if someone starts choking me in the street and all i've got on me is a utility knife, well . . .

Almost as if the cheers increased in intensity after he fell.

I noticed last weekend that I wasn't paying sales taxes at the convenience stores on a trip to Florida. Apparently it's some disaster preparedness tax break? I think I bought a bottle of water for less than $1.

I wonder if he'd support slashing the income tax in exchange for tariff revenue. That'd be a pretty bold statement coming from a democrat, but if you want people to be more productive and lift themselves out of poverty, it makes less sense to tax income than consumption (particularly consumption of cheap foreign crap). We've gotten away with it— not because it is some sound economic model that just works—but because we've printed our wealth out of thin air and we're running off the fumes of at least two generations that were far more productive than the slouches we've got 'working' today who need things like yoga and latte breaks and those bring-your-emotional-support-pets-to-work type-people.

And that's exactly why I have guns.

It helps, but Kamala Harris hasn't taken the border seriously since she entered office. If she says it's secure, it probably just means she wants to be done and doesn't want to have to deal with it. Like telling your kids to clean their room and you find out they just shoved everything out of the middle of the floor.

Also if we had a wall (the best of terrible ideas) we could catch more at the border and there'd be less justification attempts for systems like e-verify. For what it's worth, I support stopping people at the border as a preferential strategy to massive electronic identification databases. I believe some of us have warned about the lack of border security actually causing a growth of the police state, and well, here we are.

One of my first jobs was picking corn for a farmer who was up in years. He paid $10/hr (decent money for a teenager 20 years ago) for us to walk behind the tractor and toss the ears of corn into the wagon he was towing, and bought lunch whenever we worked for him. It was a small plot of land though, far from corporate. Those 'family farms' are definitely dying off, and now we've got corporate agriculture that spontaneously burns down and kills thousands of cows. Didn't really think about how much the corn costs. I had to have money to buy anything anyway. Funny how that works.

I think both sides are over-complicating it. RFK,jr is the left's anti-establishment candidate in the race. They hate him (or maybe they don't, I guess it depends on what day of the week it is here on these forums). They probably hate him for similar reasons they hate Trump (I can hear heads exploding, but I'm sticking to it) meaning these two actually think they'll have control once they're president. One's got the MIC who hates him and the other's on Big Pharma's *#^$ list and make no mistake the both of them will work together to ensure that neither of these candidates win over the vegetable in office right now who will sign off on anything as long as they offer ice cream and let him know which side to which he is supposed to exit the stage. Be anti-establishment. That's pretty much the minimum standard for a favorable word from me. My standards have never been lower and yet so few candidates even meet them.
