Guns are expensive, bullets are expensive, training with bullets enough to know you won’t miss a moving ice bucket is expensive.

Dealing with the subsequent court case, even if the shooter was legally in the right, would also be expensive. That’s if they survive shooting at “law enforcement”, of course

I was raised Catholic, and I asked my mother once why we never saw women as deacons or priests. I was told that women should not be permitted to teach (scripture). There’s a few verses about that in the new testament, in Timothy specifically if I recall correctly.

Imagine how confusing that was for me considering most of the faculty at the Catholic school were nuns! Or that my mother herself was Catechism teacher for Confirmation.

My physical therapists love to say “motion is lotion”, moving is what keeps our joints moving smoothly

I’m going to be very upset if MTG ends up as the first US president who is a woman

Seriously, he does not have a single clue what he’s marching the US into. That’s going to be incredibly messy at best

White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said that complaints about the strikes were an effort to “distract” from the ongoing government shutdown.

We can be angry about multiple things at once, like the Trump admin killing random people in boats, and the Trump admin disappearing thousands of immigrants, and the Trump admin pressuring congress to avoid negotiating lower Healthcare costs, and…

Sorry, too busy trying to not be disabled

This is the first time I’ve seen what they plan for it to look like. Cheap-ass kitchen chairs, tacky table settings, random AI human-blobs. The ceilings, windows, and chandeliers all inspired by the historical period when slavery was still legal

“Johnson imagines himself in the role of cult leader”

Fiscal conservatives doing what they do best

I remember having BMI tests before training and once in boot camp, but not after I got to my first duty station. I was quite underweight when I was serving, but that was so long ago that I assumed they’d moved on to a better standard by now lol

It sounds like dipshit thinks BMI is a good standard for fitness measurement

The VA secretary already said a doctor can refuse to treat a veteran if they are an unmarried woman, among other things like atheism or being LGBTQ+. I can only imagine how hard anyone will have to fight for their benefits during this administration

Gotta narrow it down more than that. Can’t let Catholics or Mormons slide in on the lawmaking either!

Right, I kind of expected that prominence to encourage carrying enough security to protect him. I think he skewed that a bit and thought he was untouchable because of his prominence.

The other two are just as insane, but think they have Trump’s ear despite not commanding anything near Kirk’s audience

Weird, all I’ve ever heard about is how high the suicide rate is among trans people, nothing about murder rate.

Also weird to consider “trans rights are human rights” to be nihilistic (Political belief or action that advocates or commits violence or terrorism without discernible constructive goals)

Edit: I meant as in trans people murdering other people. Trans people are overwhelmingly victims of violence than perpetrators

He’s famous for creating a conservative organization while in college, called Turning Point USA. The org puts out a lot of smug memes to appeal to young conservative folks, so naturally people made fun of them and counter-memed.

He’s said a lot of very vile things, like “Black women don’t have the same kind of brain processing power” (paraphrased) when talking about how bad DEI is.

My BFF hadn’t heard of him either, but they curate their feeds to be mostly uplifting fluff, and they aren’t terminally online like I am lol. I was kind of surprised that he was the influencer that got shot though, I might have expected someone like Loomer or Fuentes
