You think it's weird that a 10-year-old kid could still believe in Santa Claus?

That's nothing. I know a 40-year-old HR benefits administrator who still believes in in-network medical providers that are taking new patients.

I want to love anything as much as Ted Cruz loves sounding stupid.

Ted Cruz: "Kamala can't have my guns. She can't have my gasoline engine. And she sure as hell can't have my steaks and cheeseburgers."

Harris ahead? So they don't need my vote

Harris behind? So what's the point of my vote

My mother was born before women could vote and I was born before married couples could use birth control in MA, women could rent an apartment without a male co-signer or have credit in their own name!

JD Vance is a regrettable choice because he is somebody who was at his most convincing and effective when he talked about how unfit for office Trump is. And he is not explained any reason other than of course, his obvious interest in power, why he changed his mind — Pete Buttigieg #quotes #quote #Vance #Trump #Unfit #MAGA #Power #Politics

"Benjamin #Netanyahu is the worst leader in Jewish history since the Maccabean king who invited the Romans into Jerusalem over 2100 years ago. The Prime Minister is putting the security of Israel, the lives of the hostages, the stability of the region, and longstanding Israeli standing at risk."

Breaking: Trump urges Vance to make himself more popular with the base by committing some felonies.

Guys, I see immigrants every day I work. You may be shocked to learn that they are people. Families, kids, jobs, dreams. They have medication allergies, they worry about their kids not pooping, they have Paw Patrol toys and Frozen onesies for their toddlers. Their teenagers are Swifties and watch USWNT matches, they root for the Broncos and they bitch in perfect English about how embarrassing their parents are. They are Americans.

I’d be such a political bonus if Vance’s political career ends this fall. Kinda like Devin Nunes’ did after he gave up his seat to go work for Trump. 🤞😂

So now that Joe Biden is going to concentrate on his duties as president for the remainder of his term- through next January- what ways may he exercise the absolute power that SCOTUS has lately bestowed upon him?
