YOU CAN eat jellyfish, certain ones anyway. Asian markets sometimes have them. A friend of mine was once stung by a jellyfish, so she made it her mission to eat them in revenge.
OMG, the stupid, it burns: "What we have consistently said is that we want to deport violent criminals, people who came in under the Biden administration, and get them out of the country so Americans' wages can go up."
I tried to categorize it as a formal logical fallacy, but it's so stupid it doesn't even rise to the dignity of formal logical fallacy, it's just stupid stupid.
Edit. I propose a new category of logical fallacy: Appeal to Bigoted Idiocy.
You hit the nail on the head with your Meggles reference to following the money when it comes to sniffing out racists and looking like she cares. Charlie Sykes is the King of flip flopping political positions when he sticks his finger in the air to see what direction the money is coming from....left or right.
Dealing with "violent criminals" is foremost police work done at the local level by people trained in detaining violent criminals. ICE isn't "dealing" with criminals, they're just sweeping up immigrants for racist reasons. Secondly, if you want to raise wages for Americans there is a simple way to do that -- raise the Federal Minimum Wage level to a living wage, which would be $20/hr, if not higher. I'm man old man who remembers when $20/hr was a middle class income, and not poverty level.
Minimum wage was $1.75 when I got my first W-2 jerb. It was poverty wages then, and minimum wage is still poverty wages now. Just the way they like it.
My first job not for a family member was helping the farmer across the road caponize a bunch of chicks. 1965. 11 years old. He paid me the minimum wage, $1.25/ hour.
He paid me in cash. I wonder if there was anything shady going on with that? Never got a W-2.
I always learn something new at Our Wonkette! I never knew that word or the definition of it, and now I’m left feeling sorry for all the birds I’ve eaten. Oh, I’ll still eat them…
My favorite point made about Bobby Brainworms' weird workout behavior is that he probably somehow thinks it's cool that he works out in jeans, but in fact it makes him look like a 9th grader who forgot his gym clothes.
NYT - "Several Democratic lawmakers are planning to boycott President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night to attend a “People’s State of the Union” rally on the National Mall. The event will feature Democratic lawmakers speaking with people who have been negatively affected by Mr. Trump’s economic and health care policies, as well as federal workers who lost their jobs and immigrants who have been targeted by the Trump administration."
Jonah Goldberg has a big story in today's LA Times about....um, Liddle Marco being the only adult left in the room! He says he stands out for being serious, compared to the rest of the administration acting like trolls. He sort of h a point I guess, but it's hard to look serious with your head all the way up master's wrinkled ass.
Interesting that CBS needed to add that “including Jasmine Crockett” into their statement. Telling on themselves that they KNOW they are seen as on the side of Trump otherwise they wouldn’t need to mention that.
I mean, we're (and Colbert too I'm sure) all fine with Jasmine getting equal time; that's why their mentioning her specifically (vs the Republican, their REAL threat to Colbert obvsly) is just performative bullshit.

I was going to do my "jellyfish aren't real, there's nothing there" bit, and the little bastard pulls in their tentacles and starts doing zoomies!
Psychedelic Jelly... I think I saw the Strawberry Alarm Clock play there.
The Psychedelic Jelly
swims in the briny deep
not because he wants to
but because he has appointments to keep
Wooooow. It's beautiful. Is it the acid or is it me?
2¼ miles below the ocean?
That's some deep Schmidt, man!
Still, it tastes awful with peanut butter.
Oooooo, trippin' with the psychedelic jelly!
Psychedelic Jelly is a good thing to spread on one’s morning toast. It pairs well with the fried eggs.
YOU CAN eat jellyfish, certain ones anyway. Asian markets sometimes have them. A friend of mine was once stung by a jellyfish, so she made it her mission to eat them in revenge.
Especially the eggs from the "This is your brain on drugs" commercial!
Magnifique!

The hippy jellyfish!
I am just now catching up on the news. Does RFK Jr have Never Nude Syndrome?

Benny fears POC getting power because he's sure the POC will then treat all white people the way white people treat POC.
And there's no way to convince him that he has nothing to fear, because POC are so much better than him in every way possible.
So... a false herring is a fake attempt to distract people from the topic?
"What if we told you the Felch keeps his jeans on the whole time, including in the sauna, including in the ice plunge?"
Ah, a NeverNude! https://youtu.be/_pqQ5C5d0VM?t=79
Who doesn't want "Dogs in NYC"?? WTF even is this...?
Also- such snowflakes- AOC wants to "destroy white people"???
They'll say anything, won't they?
Benny Johnson said AOC wants all white people to be slaves. What's the problem Johnson, we're slaves treated badly in the USA?
Who said "no dogs in NYC"?
That Western Civilizition™ thing seems to be both really insecure and A Bully. Figures.

Considering his age and his physique, can we add steroids to his pharmaceutical excesses?
I'm guessing HGH. He seems like an HGH guy.
SOTU II:

I'm hoping that "several" turns out to be "all".
But Fetterman already picked out his best hoodie and has popped the pop corn.
Fetterman went on Fox News to tell the Republicans what they need to do to hold the Senate.
OH FFS.
With Schumer and Jeffries at the switch, don't count on it 🙁 🤬

They want to make him the next prez.

CBS can’t even cover their own asses properly.
The place is full of Weiss asses.
