Wow, that tweet was a weird trip. And did not know the Border Patrol/NRA link. Holy shit wow. Clearly when time machines are invented Harlon Carter has to be on the list for elimination. |

Royals thread cross-over: Harry and Meghan are stepping back as senior members of the Royal Family: I’m not a big royal person but this seems amazing. I just love how they are doing things their own way. Like they are obviously not anywhere close to the throne so why should they have to live like they are. They have stuff they want to do and they should be able to. |

I fully support Harry and Meghan. I have tremendous respect for such a bold move and I suspect part of it is Harry wanting to try and protect his wife and son from some of the worse parts of Royal life.
I will say, though, I chuckled at the "financially independent " bit bc it's not as if either of them will struggle to make money without the Crown purse.
In any case, you do you, Sussexes. I wish them much happiness.

This is also part of the new, progressive generation of Monarchy. Wills has the big title and will uphold his duty as heir, but Harry and Meghan are saying, "We don't want to live off of the British taxpayer."

This thread from Gabby Giffords 😭
J was 8 months old. His godmum was over at our house for lunch and happened to turn on the tv and saw the breaking news. I remember it like it was yesterday.

R-FL Yoho was just on C-SPAN blaming the American people for sending people to congress for not doing anything. And he said that congress needs to work on Mandatory spending. I'm sorry but weren't R's in charge of the Congress until this last year? Why have you done nothing. What an ass.

Survey finds 1%ers are much more satisfied with their lives than anyone else.
I'm sure they are. *rolls eyes*

Anyone else watching the House proceedings?
Because Rep Austin Scott (R-GA) just basically wanted to know why the majority didnt do anything about Libya. Or say anything about the drone strikes during Obamas tenure.
UHHHHHH You guys had control?

Jose Andres wants to buy Trump's DC hotel? That would be amazing. He was supposed to open a restaurant in it, but then pulled out when Trump ramped up his xenophobia in 2016, right? |

And in shocking to no one news, the T Organization settled a lawsuit between the two regarding the restaurant. I really need someone to go out there and do the lord's work by compiling the total number of lawsuits T or his organization have settled on, since it is their "thing". |
