To me it's felt more like "look at me I'm so unique"

I'm just gonna keep posting this any time I see the military acting as a police force.

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.

I've always felt weird about parents who have those backpack leashes for their kids, but now that I've been living next to my in-laws for a year, who have 8 children, I understand some of them.

I refuse to take some their kids anywhere unless one of them is with my wife and I.

One would absolutely go sprinting full speed away and hide from us just because he thinks it's hilarious.

Two would wander off because they saw something shiny and their brains are like an etch-a-sketches where every time a new thought enters, the old one has to get wiped away.

One would do the exact opposite of anything we say just because he figures he can.

And three others would absolutely just wander off, not because they want to but just because kids aren't always the best at spatial awareness and simply get too far away. And would be terrified if they noticed their adults were nowhere in sight.

I take issue with the title.

The term "new MAGA bosses" says "these ARE their new bosses and the staff aren't letting THEIR NEW BOSSES in"

Ajent Ornj doesn't have the authority to place these goons into the library of congress, therefore THEY ARE NOT BOSSES, new or otherwise. They are THUGS trying to break into a library after being told to leave, because they are there to ruin any positive thing there and burn half the contents. Figuratively or a literal bonfire, doesn't matter.

Suggested new title: LIBRARY OF CONGRESS STAFF TURN AWAY MAGA THUGS WHO CLAIM AUTHORITY WHERE NONE EXISTS

Didn’t we have security leaks during his first term too?

Dude straight up stole classified documents, "LOST" (sold) a bunch while foreign nationals were occupying nearby rooms, then lied about it, then tried to hide it, then lied about trying to hide it. Then tried to hand wave it all by saying he ~~prayed~~ ~~declared~~ thought about them being declassified and therefore perfectly legal to do the things he didn't do.

To name a single instance.

The Bible endorses abortion

Let's not pretend most Christians have even read the Bible, let alone understand or follow it.

Weird, because historically gun control happens when white people get scared a black man has the same rights as them.

Just ask Dredd Scott v Sanford , or Ronald Reagan.

The only time I've ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.

When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled "What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn't hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.

You can see the moment he got triggered.

Such a weird snowflake...

I'm already loving to misuse slang around all the nieces and nephews. They're all 3-14, so it changes depending on which kid is around, but the eye rolls are fantastic.

We need to tap into the power of the cringe and we might have an unlimited energy source.
