I'd go with Fountains of Markwayne, but that's just me.
From the same collection:
"In keeping with Noem’s preferred protocol, before terminating her, Trump fed her a big bowl of chow, and took her out back behind the barn for one last frolic."
The story I was told: My mother (then 18 years old) was working in a dentist's office, and met a handsome patient -- a 20-year-old Marine who had just returned from fighting in Korea. They were married not long after.
Going with @bessbell.bsky.social on this one:
"My only hope is right now Kristi is surrounded by the same grace and support and compassion she showed to immigrant infants and nursing mothers at the border."

As someone whose job including doing the deconfliction, this 🧵is 100% on target.
That ship has sailed. The US has shown it will use the military to extort and bully.
Europe needs to look out for itself. I say this as an American. We are not to be trusted.
Understanding cause and effect (if I hit the snooze button then I’ll get more sleep) and second order thinking (but then I’ll be late for work) are the basics of being an intelligent person.
Unfortunately we decided to elect the dumbest and most spiteful people we could find to the highest offices.
I was forced to watch TV news when I had breakfast in a diner recently and I strongly resonated with the sentiment that being an intelligent person in America today is like being awake during a surgery.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
A Kuwaiti F-18 could do the funniest thing right now
“That was a misspoke.”
The VP of Research for post-training at OpenAI is going to Anthropic.
There is now a trickle of both users and employees choosing Anthropic over OpenAI. Sam Altman needs to stop this from becoming a flood.
Has the statute of limitations expired? Because that was flat out murder.
To be fair, who among us hasn't made plans that snuck up on us unexpectedly, leaving hundreds of people entrusted to our care stranded overseas as bombs rain down on 10 countries, closing airports and sending energy prices soaring worldwide, and instantly destroying billions in market value?
The only way she faces consequences is if Stephen Miller decides to throw her under the bus. And then the only consequence is simply losing her job.
Otherwise these audacious lies would just be forgotten in half a news cycle.
It is every bit as gut-bustingly ludicrous as I expected. The tl;dr: Well, Democrats like to TALK about bombing Iran, but Trump actually DID it.
And of course he closes quoting Sen. Fetterman to prove, that Democrats and GOP really think alike.
Save your brain cells.
A headline from the WSJ: if Donald Trump we’re a democrat
It’s the WSJ Opinion page, and the author is a former speechwriter for George W Bush, so I expect this to be incoherent babble. Should I even bother to read, just for the lulz?
Grow a spine, you feckless cowards.
If your Republican relative is going to use St Patrick’s Day as an excuse to get drunk remind them that Saint Patrick was an immigrant.
Oh and #paddyNotPatty
Listen to Barry.
Marco, wait till you see what has been going on in the streets of the United States of America. The leadership of that country does not reflect its people either.
WSJ headline: the hardest hits are yet to come for Iran Rubio says
The beatings will continue until morale improves. - Smol Marco Rubio
“Ingesting AP’s live vote data in addition to the native forecasts will provide Kalshi users with a new and improved way to engage with American democracy and the electoral process…”
The only productive way to engage with the electoral process is to vote or work on a campaign. This is bullshit.
Ugh.
Who in their right mind thinks this war is about "bringing democracy and the rule of law" to Iran?
Even if that were the goal (it is not), what are the chances that you could accomplish it by using the entire USA stock of advanced munitions to carpet-bomb the country?
FFS.
Do you see what he did there?
The joint Israel/US campaign to assassinate the leaders of Iran and to destroy what's left of the country's economy is not "a war to bring democracy and the rule of law to Iran."
FFS.
The highlighted part of today's column is pure uncut Friedman bullshit:
"Fourth, we must not let ***this war to bring democracy and the rule of law to Iran*** distract us from the threats to democracy and the rule of law posed by Trump in America and by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel."
