My favorite part is that they appear to have stolen the title font from that of David McCullough's book

Every time I see men dressed like that, that ARE NOT IN THE MILITARY, all I can think is: How small can your penis be?
Ponch!! From the dawning of time until the end of time, It has and will be about penis size.

Sure. It reminds me too of those famous words, uttered by one truly great philosopher: "I have never seen a man in more dire need of a BJ".

When folks have in the past posted articles about these "armed militias" across the U.S. that want to overthrow the U.S. government and like to go off to remote locations to play war with likeminded dingbats, THOSE two guys in the photo are who we're talking about.

Thanks for posting this. I'm in Indiana and I logged into my Kroger account. It's real. Also Amazon - verified that, too. Will stop patronizing both if it's not changed in 48 hours.

So, in one of his last acts, for some reason Trump granted protective status to Venezuelans in the US. It's called "Deferred Enforced Departure" and is almost the same as Temporary Protective Status except it's issued by the President rather than Congress - it protects people from deportation and allows them to work legally in the US. The only other country this applies to is Liberia (GW Bush granted it and it's been extended and is still valid).

This actually affects my S.O. because other immigration processes have stalled due to COVID so he's been in legal limbo and it's been 3 years now that he's been in the US - legally - without being able to work.

But I also don't understand why he issued this as it doesn't seem to serve any obvious point to him now. He could have done it before the election to get votes? I wonder what rich Venezuelan exile is sponsoring Trump's next round at Mar-a-Lago.
