Plus, Trump tweets in all caps. Not because he's angry all the time, but because he's old and that's the only way he can read the characters as he types them.

Exactly. It's just an insult to them.

A while back, one of my Trumper neighbors decided that she didn't use an elliptical work-out machine that she had bought over 2 years prior. She took it back to the store without a receipt and demanded that they give her money for it - not just store credit - even though it was well past the return date.

When telling me this story, she acknowledged her crazy behavior by saying "haha I was acting like such a liberal."

In her mind, it's as simple as "liberal = bad". The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.

The Herman Cain Award was the only thing that got me through COVID.

Yeah Facebook was vastly different back in the day. Instead of having a shadowy algorithm deciding which posts to show you, you just got a chronological view of all your friends' posts. So during major events, you'd usually see lots of posts that taken out of context make absolutely no sense.

When Facebook moved to them deciding what you wanted to see, it completely changed the whole vibe.

Edited the order of events in my comment. Sounds like the confrontation didn't happen until after he grabbed his rifle.

I'd like to see the video as well. If anyone has a link, would appreciate it.

I dunno about that. The peacekeeper saw the dude go retrieve a rifle, confronted him, and he ran aiming the rifle at the crowd.

I suppose your argument is that the guy hadn't actually pulled the trigger when the peacekeeper acted? That seems insane to me.

The shooter and another person in a neon vest allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.

I'my first playthrough of Satisfactory, I was like "I'm gonna leave these trees up to not completely ruin this area and make things look nice." After a few playthroughs I was full on "is it faster to use explosive rebar or cluster bombs to remove the trees?"

I actually did exactly that a few years ago! I was at a neighbor's house and he mentioned that he had heard the civil war actually wasn't about slavery, but was about states rights. So I told him to read the South Carolina Declaration of Secession .

To my neighbor's credit, he actually sat there and read it and then went "oh so it actually was about slavery."

Unfortunately, I can't report that this was a huge epiphany that changed his overall views or way of thinking. This was around the time that Obama was getting his supreme court pick blocked, and my neighbor is still as Republican as ever to this day.

I also saw the AP say there were "dozens" of No Kings protests. According to the No Kings site, they had protests in 1,500 cities.

Could you imagine if you asked you spouse to pick up a dozen eggs and they came back with 1,500 instead?

I'm so confused. Are they actually bragging about those things?

Greene's squabble with Grok happened after the Georgia lawmaker posted about her Christian faith on X, writing: "I'm a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus. I'm a nationalist, a proud American, who loves my country and wants to make our home nation is the best place for all American citizens and future generations to come." ...

Another X user ran Greene's post through Grok, asking the AI bot, "[I]s is true? Is she really a Christian?"

Grok responded by saying that while Greene "identifies as a Christian" by expressing her faith in Jesus Christ and having traditional beliefs, "her Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate."

Joe Biden is the worst US president in history.

CJMusic Jul 6, 2024:

It would appear that, in light of Biden failing and floundering, the Dems sent their minions out to foment panic about Project 2025. It won't work.

CJMusic May 1, 2025:

I regret voting for Trump.

My husband is laid off and can't find a job and my kids' credit scores have tanked bc of his student loan policy.

This is not what I voted for.
