I think I speak for most Americans when I tell you that I’d rather sit and watch grass grow than watch any Hollywood award show.— Kari Lake (@KariLake) February 6, 2023 Please, Academy people, invite this useless sack of crap to the Oscars, with a "guaranteed" spot on the Red Carpet. There is no way she would say no. Not to mention, I imagine that watching grass grow is a major spectator sport in Arizona, as crowds gather round to see the single blade of grass grow there. It is like when a "Century cactus" or Agave Americana flowers at a conservatory. It only happens every few decades, so it's an event. I agree, by the way. Awards shows are dreadful industry circle jerks.

This is such old old racism I didn't get it until I read the replies on the tweet and remembered this stuff that I hadn't heard in a long long time. I guess in Mississippi it is known as classic racism.
Here in NOLA (one state over) my son was asking me if it's uncool to wear khaki cargo shorts, since that's what the white supremacists in Charlottesville wore. I told him that here in Louisiana, white supremacists dress just like everybody else - because every other (white) person is a white supremacist.
I read that and thought it was just the way it was written. It wasn't until you posted this that I realized he was doing racism from the 1980s (or before). But, should have known. They are all stuck in the past.
It's right there with Mickey Rooney's yellowface character in Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's hard to believe how anyone thought that was a good idea.
The U.S. can't even elect a proper strong man. Every time our guy encountered the real version, he rolled over in submission.
I was laughing at the ass-clown talking heads who were too stupid to realize they were being had . . . And the even bigger assclowns that were too stupidlazy to confirm the source.

Oh for ********’s sake Heard from several sources in recent days that some business leaders are encouraging @Sen_JoeManchin to consider a 2024 bid and to potentially work with No Labels.

NEW: Matt Gaetz was SECRETLY added to the Weaponization of Government Subcommittee. Kevin McCarthy submitted the change to the Congressional Journal without any public announcement & it took a CNN reporter to discover the change. This isn’t how Congress is supposed to function.— Victor Shi (@Victorshi2020) February 7, 2023
