How I imagine the situation inside Team Vivek recently (if there’s at least one sane person there anyway)

Our government posts memes and videos mocking and laughing at the suffering of immigrants and refugees. This is one more sick sign that something has broken in our souls.

So the French ice dance team won, making the words of Olympic gold medalist and author Gabriella Papadakis even more important than they were yesterday. We know NBC fired her. We talked to her for 40 minutes on Milan Magic. How did NBC handle the issue on the broadcast tonight?
Excellent news!

I just want to mention to @JonahDispatch that today is International Cat Day and Marco here is still (im)patiently waiting for his turn at Dispawtcher of the week. @thedispatch
Can whoever is in charge here on @X PLEASE stop people from "adding me to chats?" I'm not interested in buying crypto or meeting hot girls (even if they weren't scammers in a Russian troll farm.) I'm ready to delete my account because this goes on all day every day.

⚡BREAKING: Penguins about to illegally cross the USA border en masse, as retaliation for tariffs. "We've dealt with ICE our entire lives, ain't nobody stopping us" a penguin familiar with the matter said.

Outstanding memes capturing the absurdity of Trump’s tariff on penguin inhabited Heard & McDonald Islands #owngoal #PowerToThePenguins

Yep. 2025 MAGA has basically become the left of the 1990s.
- Anti-free trade
- Anti-free markets
- Anti-strong American foreign policy
- Indifferent to social conservatism
- Pro government power
And that's OK. Parties can and do change.
But stop acting like we "traditional Republicans" are the ones who changed, or are "finally showing our true stripes."
There's a reason why MAGA hates every single Republican nominee for Vice President and President from 2000 to 2024, except maybe Sarah Palin, and of course President Trump.
George W. Bush
Dick Cheney
John McCain
Mitt Romney
Paul Ryan
Mike Pence
This clip clarifies the debate on the right.
Batya, to her credit, does not hide the ball at all. She is a self described “leftist” who wants the “MAGA leftist” wing of the party to eradicate the Reagan wing one the party by jettisoning social conservatives, free traders and foreign policy hawks.
Trump’s first term combined elements of the populist right with the conservative mainstream - but it was distinctly conservatives who were the senior partner in the coalition.
Will his second term invert that dynamic? Or worse, will it completely forsake rank and file conservatism?
And if it does, what are the consequences?
Why @Publix? Why did you discontinue the football cakes? I've bought one for every Super Bowl for well over a decade! Now, they're just GONE?
I don't even want to watch the game anymore.
Update: saw my deacon yesterday. Had that red hat hanging off his rolator. Oh, and he greets people and hands out bulletins as people are coming in.
Just out of curiosity, what would YOUR reaction be if you were visiting my church?
ICYMI Seems like a strange way to win souls and make disciples. Seems like a great way to turn a church into a political cult.
