DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
How are we still talking about a Hotchkiss School rich kid cosplaying as working class with a Nazi chest piece that he covered up with a medium white supremacy Norse symbol five minutes ago? How is there anyone who isn't a Nazi still defending this guy?
Putting on private-school detector glasses and suddenly every gathering of elite journalists looks like the banquet scene from "They Live"
A sea captain type, standing in the foreground, in the Simpsons episode where Bart gets trapped down a well. You can see people milling around in the background, but he's snarling at the camera, dressed in a sweater and hat very much modeled on the character Quint, from Jaws. He's saying, "I'll edit your book. And I'll clean it for free."
Each bomb crater is a new conversation pit for a vibrant, topical Alan.
make this about remilitarizing the rhineland and that guy is probably on the general staff, so yeah

Pitched a magazine that requires a physical query letter, so I wrote a letter and printed it and put it in the mailbox like some kind of historical reenactor.
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
Gonna be swinging for the leftover rafters tomorrow -thin sliced jerk beef coconut stew with carrots, Cubanos and tomato paste and corn? Why not corn?
I've been thinking about the Rangers' decision to display One Riot, One Ranger, and what it says about who this team is for. So I wrote about that. It's a big ol' bummer.

A late 2000s pharmaceutical ad promoting an athlete's foot treatment. You can see a purple football arena, and in the foreground, on the field, is a foot wearing a football helmet on its big toe, which apparently has a face on the nail. Floating hands appear on either side of the foot, open and ready to take the snap or a sack. The toe face looks incredulously at a floating pair of words, whose gungey infected font casts a shadow onto the foot. They read: TOENAIL FUNGUS.
It's how Lawrence took Aqaba from behind.

It's so degrading watching the Secret Service clean out someone's fuck pad. They walk outside with cardboard boxes and upend them. There are shattered Poison CDs all over the ground, glinting in the sunlight atop a towel that can't bend.
