An embarrassment to Minotaur-Americans everywhere

His page doesn't say, but he has eight children and twelve grandchildren, and his "family enjoys rodeos and living out their cowboy heritage, blending tradition and service in every aspect of their lives."

Some of his most recently sponsored bills:

HB 1691 - (3271H.01I) Prohibits the state and political subdivisions from contracting with employers or companies that engage in discrimination against unvaccinated persons

HB 1692 - (3270H.01P) Creates provisions relating to employer liability for injuries from required immunizations

The poster from /r/cth who began every paragraph with "As a libertarian . . ." is probably already a judge somewhere but is somehow being coerced into not breaking character.

I'd like to see what dril does with the Office of Management and Budget.

I'm just sad for all the forgotten shitposters of yesteryear who never got a foreign service sinecure.

@Zuzak@hexbear.net was right three years ago:

It's a real account of a person who is, himself, a bit.

Middle-Aged Man In Gym Locker Room Puts Shirt On Before Underwear

FREDERICKSBURG, VA—Unable to fully avert their gaze as the situation unfolded, sources in the men’s locker room at Capital Fitness confirmed Thursday that a middle-aged gym patron put on his shirt before his underwear. “I swear the guy’s pair of briefs were sitting right there on the bench, but he just ignored them and went straight for his shirt,” said onlooker Mike Housakos, who noted that instead of continuing to dress himself after buttoning his shirt down to his waist, the man then walked all the way to the opposite side of the locker room to deposit his towel in the bin. “And it’s not like he was in any rush to get his underwear on after that. He even picked up his phone and looked at it for a little bit. Jesus.” Sources confirmed that at press time, the half-nude man was putting on his socks.

If I remember correctly, there are only two things that all the sources agree Jesus said:

1. The church is like a mustard seed
2. Divorce is bad

Back at the convention the next morning, a Border Patrol agent was walking the agency’s emotional support dog around the conference perimeter. Her name was Willow, her handler said, and she was 5 years old.

She was giant and soft, with impeccable fur, and had already flown to sixteen different countries. She belonged to a special, docile German breed called the Leonburger and her job was to confer warmth to Border Patrol agents on the verge of committing suicide. She would work as long as she wanted to work and was hungry for lunch, the handler said.

Willow should quit her job without giving notice.

Pack them anyway - they're phasing this out in different airports and one of your stops may not have the machines they prefer.

Passengers flying out of Hancock International Airport in Syracuse, New York, did not have to take off their shoes on Monday, CNN affiliate WSTM reported. However, on Tuesday morning at Chicago O’Hare, CNN affiliate WLS saw passengers still being asked to remove footwear.

75 hours until Trump holds an interview while wearing a "Not Involved In Human Trafficking" shirt

It seems all of us, the Trump administration included, underestimated the number of people who genuinely believed that Trump hung out with Epstein so as to "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." I think we all thought that was bad faith but it turns out some folks were just that gullible, and even they have a limit.

(They'll forget about it in a week, probably, but it's been interesting to observe.)

Was that Knut Hamsun? Let's hope it was only one.

Hamsun's novels are actually really great. I haven't seen the biopic so maybe he went bad earlier than I think, but if only he'd dropped dead the day he won his Nobel instead of living another 32 years.

Someone must have told him about it last night because his most recent tweet sez:

"To all the socialists: the labour theory of value, posited by Marx, is total horseshit. Reality has disproven it again and again."

Robert Chapman's Empire of Normality is exactly what you're looking for

If you and your spouse are both on SSI I believe your combined benefits drop by at least 1/3.

Um, actually, Marx never wrote about "value" at all. He does have a bunch of texts about something called "Wert," which if I'm not mistaken is a non-cancerous form of viral growth usually occurring on the hands or feet.

And this from a dude who was himself a settler-colonialist!
