For us it is occasionally catheteric.

Different note:
Texas state Sen. Nathan Johnson, a Democrat who represents Dallas County, told NBC News this is not a time to foment further division in the country by politicizing the shooting and making assumptions when many questions remain unanswered.

"I reject the inclination that many people feel to attribute this to the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. We don't know who this shooter was, who he thought he was affiliated with," Johnson said.


Dems strangely don't want to talk about the politics of a shooter when he's on their side. It's baffling since this is what they have been fulmenting.

Trying to get into the psychology of it all, one has to be a real mouth breather to not perceive that non-agents might be present in a public facility like that.

It was inevitable with the hoopla and left-wing support of the Kirk assassin that some wannabe would come out with a half-baked copycat plan. Those poor people in the van must have been terrified. How incredibly awful.

It's a fulfilling exercise in reasoning and logic.

Over 1 million videos scrubbed, with creators cancelled. It seems like YouTube took the Biden administration censorship suggestions to a new level.

A million+ YouTube videos scrubbed. Comey indicted (we'll see what happens), and now news that there were A LOT of agents in the crowd.

Is this a plan to trickle this news out, or is the Left correct and it's just spaghetti on the wall to avoid more Epstein scrutiny?

lroem ipsum is commonly used placeholder text used in design.

Lorem Ipsum, as Brainey said, is a block of nonsense text that superficially resembles Latin, which has been used for decades as a placeholder in typesetting, graphic design, etc.

Every now and then, it leaks out into the "real world" in the form of something getting published with the placeholder copy still in place.

That is the gag which I put into the ticker text of the meme.

Does Tylenol affect pregnant men the same way?

I have to admit acting like a liberal for the past few weeks. I went to Mexico to get a stem cell procedure on my lower back, and the doctors told me not to take any NSAIDS for a headache...only Tylenol. So I've been taking Tylenol like a pregnant lib with an attitude.

I recognize that you generally prefer regurgitating other peoples' opinions to having your own, but now I'm wondering how much Tylenol there was in the 'cord house when you were very young.
