both trump and desantis are calling each other gay, but the desantis allies have decided to speak in internet hieroglyphs. one wonders how this will play
Quote Tweet
DeSantis Super PAC’s Erin Perrine responds back to that: “The Trump team’s obsession with men’s genitalia is more perverted than a woke grooming book.”

If you think there’s equivalency between right and left, show me the left wing equivalent of this account. 60K followers just by making things up. Not exaggerating or bias, but complete fabrication. Is there a liberal account like this? And if you go “lol, CNN,” I’m blocking you. twitter.com/leadingreport/…

Twitter is now just angry transphobes and endless quote-tweets of posts that are, like, "What's the best movie where the guy makes you go, 'NNNNNGHHHH,' and the girl makes you go 'WOO WOO WOO' like an ambulance?"

Followup regarding tomorrow night's Billy Joel/Stevie Nicks concert: is it in fact true that thunder only happens when it's raining?

There could be a few leftover spotty showers around, temperatures dropping into the 60s during the evening. But, the strong storms should be long gone by then.

So, the Florida Michael Chitwood is the son of the Michael Chitwood who long led the Upper Darby Police Department. Figured it was too much of a coincidence for there to be two different cops named Michael Chitwood who are both from Philadelphia.

Quote Tweet
A Florida sheriff is being threatened by the neo-Nazi Goyim Defense League for calling them "scumbags" and depicting them being flushed down a toilet, demanding he pay them $100K in gold. He has responded by sending them custom pacifiers. news-journalonline.com/story/news/loc

Shapiro really acing his first test as governor. If Mastriano were in office he'd be blaming the crash on the globalists or something

The I-95 rebuild is impressive. It shows what we can do when we make something a priority.
On a completely unrelated note, Philadelphia schoolchildren are going to schools which have $5 billion of immediate repairs needed, including to remediate asbestos.

There is something very funny about Desantis's campaign being run by a cadre of unmarried virginal half-men who imagine that Trump's base of Oklahoma Ford dealers secretly longs for the tender Brideshead stink of their online Catholic dorm room.

Did he call again a week later to check if Benoit was really dead?

Donald Trump calling up Titan Towers to see if Vince's limo blowing up was actually real should have been used in every political campaign running opposite him.
With the slogan:
"You really want this idiot as president? Fuck!"

I really like this, and I like that scene. But it's not exactly realistic. Putting the common good, and the interest of the fans, over profits just plain isn't something that sports owners do, in the U.S. or the U.K.

If he wrote Evita today people might comment that he’s not Argentine. But it would still be produced, and he would still make money from it! He would just be criticized a little bit more than he was 40 years ago

Do people seriously think that romance and fucking, two of the most universal features of human civilization, are about to disappear? Marriage rates are down but that's largely driven by cohabitation and higher education.

I mean, was there any chance he would plead guilty?
Quote Tweet
How was CNN able to break the news on Trump pleading not guilty, despite devices ban?
By hiring a group of Miami high school students who ran info out of the courtroom and dictated it via pay phone.
