The Frankish Reich

Learn to read, buddy. A baby got measles from an unvaccinated older child or adult. That's obvious. That's why we require vaccinations.

Well, I know you don't subscribe to the WSJ given that the subscribers are generally in the top decile. But if you did, you'd see that they actually investigated the story, rather than just posting a 100 word hot take.

A good Waffle House brawl is always worth watching. Thanks!

If you were to tell me that you watch the evening news on the major networks every night, I would estimate your age to be 75.

I suppose the MSM, like the WSJ here, investigates and reports it, while the Alt-Right Media ignores it?

Really not enough said about the Bizarro Trans Death Cult. Really.

The point is not that it's "Trump's fault." The point is it is not the president's fault at all that a bird flu is forcing us to kill millions of hens. Because we all remember that the last time egg prices went up it was clearly was a symptom of Bidenflation, right?

Unvaccinated Mennonites. But probably you can find a way to blame darker-skinned people. It's kind of your brand.

Or through Mennonites, born-and-raised White Germanic Americans! You know, the real All-(North) American Homegrown types you love. https://www.newsweek.com/texas-measles-outbreak-mennonites-2034627 Border between Texas and Oklahoma, since apparently the community came from the Midwest.

Let the herd culling begin in earnest! Oh, and why do we mandate vaccines? Well, one infant measles victim was too young to get the vaccine. Herd immunity. Next up: maybe Mumps will make them sterile. Darwin Award.

(Note that the deficit would likely not go down in 2034 – this is an accounting gimmick.) Expect to see some Republicans argue that these numbers are too pessimistic, that the tax cuts will pay for themselves. They promised that in 2017 and it never came to pass

Well he did promise he'd be a dictator on Day One. Why not price ceilings on eggs, accompanied by Egg Ration Cards? At least that would fulfill the promise.

As you once scolded me (see, I can play these memory games too, even at our respective ages): so how much did you pay for gas and groceries this week? Hey, Almond Boy ... I think it spell corrected Almond Milk. [better late than never]

Agreed. A while back I looked at all "running QBs" - which I defined as guys who've rushed for 400+ yards/season - and longevity. The results were not promising, as most broke down by about age 32. And yes, I got a ton of comments pointing out that there was an explanation for all of those. But a pattern is a pattern. I think this is the best case scenario for Josh. Let's call it the John Elway Aging Curve. If anyone can do it, he can. But its no sure thing.

The term - "malicious incompetence" - was coined in Trump's first administration. The Trump Administration in Exile had four years to at least take the incompetence out of the malice. It's obvious now that they didn't. For starters: 1. Pete Hegseth and JD Vance Go to Europe. The worst buddy movie since Dumb and Dumberer. They contradict each other, and Hegseth gives away key bargaining positions even before any bargaining has begun. https://www.foxnews.com/world/hegseth-says-he-vance-on-same-page-despite-vps-remark-us-troops-ukraine 2. Turns out we might actually need someone to make sure our nukes are safe!
