If your wife proposes an extravagant vacation to Disney World and you not only object on financial grounds but actively try to sabotage your wife's efforts to find a way to pay for the vacation, you would be getting warmer. If your wife then juggles the family budget so that the family can afford the vacation and you only go along on the vacation kicking and screaming the whole time, you're getting even warmer. But then if you expect everyone in the family to thank you for the trip, even though you did everything you could to make sure no one had a good time, then you'd be Rand Paul.

It's not hard, at least most of the time

Please, I had an Army captain explain to me that unregulated capitalism was the best system. I stared and then said, "Kid, you're dressed in a uniform with the American flag on your sleeve and your salary and training all paid by tax dollars. I don't see Microsoft or Amazon doing that". I'm a civilian but a much higher grade. Plus, I'm old so I can say shit like this!

DeathSANTIS has gone from "Let's go Brandon" and "don't Fauci with FL", to demanding help from "Brandon."

" replacing PE in public schools with mandatory drag queen story hours. "

One time in HS, during the Jurassic, the boys PE coach let us watch the World Series on the tee vee box. Twice. The girls all mad cause they had regular PE.

Then we went back to putting our heads under our desks for Bomb Drill Day.

BIDEN: [Gosar] said they’d enhance quality of life. They’d ease congestion and boost the economy. Voted against it, says it's all socialism. Go down the list, Kentucky Rep. Andy Barr ... “big government socialist agenda.” Three different projects he wants. Rand Paul! Go down the list, look it up. Socialism. I didn't know there were that many socialist Republicans.

LOOOOOOOL, keep trolling them with their own bullshit, Joe. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Yep, exactly it is.

I remember Raygun saying half a loaf is better than none. He also let them raise taxes for SS and Medicare.Made 18 million immigrants legal.Today he would be a raging tree hugging liberal from Left Coast Commie California.

And even though Star Wars was a lie to the Ruskies, a joke to us, it would probably be too sciency for today's Republicans.

There's this, then Tim Ryan's total smackdown call-out in his debate with Vance

I LOVE THIS NEW LOOK FOR US...

And for those worried about Republican reactions to this...Republicans are ALWAYS dialed up to 11...

Biden doesn't cure cancer: "BIDEN FAILS TO CURE CANCER"

Biden cures cancer: "WHY DOES BIDEN HATE ONCOLOGISTS????"

When you realize that republicans are ALWAYS going to spin the narrative in their favor NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, then you can STOP FUCKING 'asking' their permission every time you make a move...

Let em know there are only two options: Get on board or GET THE FUCK out of the way because the train is leaving the station with or without ya!

This is the thing that (particularly) local governments need to get on board with. NEVER LEAVE MONEY ON THE TABLE! If they're offering you money, take it! The cannabis thing in IL drives me crazy. We've got a few local governments who are all "no, we don't want to encourage vice in our dying community, we'd rather leave all that sweet, sweet weed money for someone else." Stupid, stupid. You do realize half of your constituents are probably doing it anyway, you might as well keep their money in town rather than letting it go to the next village that wasn't stuffed to the gills with idiots. Morans.

Republican drops an f-bomb. Press: "So edgy!"Democrat drops an f-bomb. Press: "They're lowering the political discourse!"

And that's because it wasn't YOUR neighborhood that was razed to build that road. Fuck off, Ron.
