Prepare for people to test the fuck out of that, Elon.

To be fair, Elon is a hero to millions. Like if you combined Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh.
I see what you did there.

A toxic conservative who would happily repeal gay rights for votes caught groping other guy's balls

But maybe the article is homophobic by suggesting that Madison is secretly gay and this is just a guy groping another guy for a joke.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Musk isn't smart. He's a trust fund baby running a scam who believes his own bullshit. All his companies would have gone bust ages ago except he's a welfare queen.

If Cawthorn really IS gay, it would be the least objectionable thing about him.

While he may not be 'smart' in the usual sense, bilking the government out of billions and billions of dollars and managing to keep yourself out of prison at the same time certainly qualifies as an impressive sort of low animal cunning.

Florida cops sent more than a dozen units to respond to stolen Pokémon cards and ended up shooting four people, killing one of them. Good luck in reforming that.
Quote:"I believe my deputies are justified in all their actions,” Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez told local news outlet FOX 35. “I have the utmost – 200% trust – in everything they do based on their training and their experience. Things escalate. This is the real world."

You forget.
Apparently they may have also stolen a pizza!
Back in the real world, since when did stealing a few fucking cards justify a death penalty?
True, we don't currently know the full circumstances, but...

Those cards (as all paper objects) can get sharp and as such could have been easily used to slice the jugular vein of some cop.

Russian TV is airing the most incredibly homophobic & accidentally homoerotic show in existence
lgbtqnation.com
Quote:Russian MP Vitaly Milonov is the author of the country’s ban on “gay propaganda” and has been a leading figure in the communist state’s persecution of LGBTQ people.
He’s so worried about impressionable young people being influenced, in fact, that he’s created the homophobic TV show I’m Not Gay. Except it’s accidentally homoerotic and he doesn’t seem to have noticed.

British Travellers Claim Irish Getting Preferential Treatment
Quote:Brits are being met with long queues at Spanish airports with snaking lines seen outside passport control at major terminals.
Up to 3,000 passengers missed their flights at Madrid Airport over the Easter break, according to local media, with fears those scenes could be repeated over the Summer holidays.
Since Brexit, British tourists are only allowed to stay in the Schengen area (a free movement area without border controls that includes 26 countries including Spain but excluding Ireland) for 90 out of 180 days and must get their passports stamped when they leave or could face being refused entry on another visit.
See, the way it works is that you don’t get to leave a club and still enjoy the perks you had when you were a member of that club. Eedjits.
