They're highly trained and want to show their friends how far they ran this morning.

Kind of like when Special Forces guys showed off their morning runs on the same app a few years ago. In a patch of Yemen that they weren't officially supposed to be on.

Based on the 2020 results, he had (somehow) been making some inroads with some Hispanic voters. But between the report that he was big mad about the military having to pay for a funeral for a murdered soldier with a Spanish surname and this clear disdain for Hispanic citizens, maybe it's becoming clear that in the eyes of Trump and his supporters, there is no such thing as 'one of the good ones'. The best you can hope to be is someone they haven't gone after yet.

Well, one of their founders and early PMs (and the grandfather of the ex-PM and recent assassination victim, Shinzo Abe) was one of the guys who ran Manchukuo (Manchuria under Japanese occupation in the run up to WWII). With these guys, you always have to wonder how much of the 'rehabilitation' took.

Big tech has been bending over backwards to not ban reactionaries breaking their Terms of Service since, at the very least, GamerGate. If they had just laid down the banhammer the way their own policies told them to, Roger Stone would be a bad memory from the Brooks Brothers Riot and Steve Bannon would be viewed as the crank he is.

It's awfully late to be putting this statue up, but he's a pretty solid choice. Captured a Confederate transport ship and donated it to the union war effort. Helped convince the union to allow black people into the army. Served in the House of Representatives during reconstruction.

Baby Ruth bars were named after Grover Cleveland's daughter. Nothing to do with the famed Boston pitcher.

The monkey's paw curled twenty years ago. The housing solution across the country has steel bars on every room.
