Exactly, I think the number that I read was that the last administration added 10,000 new border agents to the Mexico border (If you go back to the Bush Administration it’s a total of ~25,000). The apprehensions number is just tracking that more agents produces more contact with migrants. 

I thought that was the Reverse-Vampires in collusion with the Rand Corporation?

I have a problem with the “both-side-ing” of this stuff because one side does it far more egregiously than the other. The only real example I can think of where both sides do it is economic numbers: unemployment is up, stock market is down, inflation is up, ect etc. when, good or bad, none of that stuff is ever caused…

In this day and age citing a source is a huge improvement over inventing bullshit whole-cloth. Did you ever write a term paper? You cite a source to back an assertion, not to prove something as fact. Even if you’re citing numbers or statistics you would still have to provide context as to what the numbers mean. For…

It actually seems like the opposite, kinda demystifying all the things we trust government to do everyday and completely take for granted. You think he’s trying to breed distrust in the National Weather Service?

There are dozens of them but:

I don’t think he would really identify with the Rogan’s and Chappelle’s current nonsense. There is an interview with Carlin and he addresses Andrew Dice Clay when he was the offensive “free speech” guy de jour. He basically says that Dice (who is Jewish) needs to be careful about whipping up the crowd into a hateful/mi…

The $8,000 paycheck brings that episode into context.

I’m surprised a mention of CRT didn’t make it into that comment.

Wow. Who knew that these guys were Australian?

Looks like the same food presented in the most pretentious fashion possible. Do the mash potatoes come in a spray form?

Megan the Stallion is really coming for ZZ Top’s crown for number of songs titled after sex acts/references.

I really want to assume that along with the note he a included a withdrawal slip with his account info and his ID. Otherwise I see why the clerk panicked. 

I remember in the Gawker days there was an article about a fire station that caught on fire (I guess the ironic headline was enough to run the story) and it was in Houston County Tennessee. The pics showed a small metal building that housed one burned out fire engine. Everyone in the comments started clowning on Housto…

Natalie Zea is getting fit for a toe ring right now.

The blue parts of Texas (which is all of the large cities) have always enjoyed a buffer from the more psychotic fundamentalist tendencies of our state government. Unfortunately, that buffer, in large part, came from the circuit courts and the Supreme Court. Usually when one of these crazy abortion laws, or bathroom…

The idea that Fucker’s argument that “Putin is not a villain” because he’s never called me a racist is pretty telling about where the average Fox viewer’s head is at.

Dems also have the disadvantage of actually trying to pass new legislation that usually can’t be wrapped up in a neat slogan. BBB was a good bill that would have had wide ranging impact, from the child tax credit, to infrastructure and expanding Medicare. The polling even showed that there was strong public support…

It does seem that this is specifically directed to them as Americans too. I’ve watched enough Guy Ritchie movies to know that only organized crime types own guns over there.

I’m annoyed by Maher’s recent “the left changed, I didn’t” bullshit. When the reality is “funny changed and you never changed with it”. Not, a single mention of the book banning and CRT hysteria going on with Republicans right now but he devotes time every show to hammer the audience when one of his comedian friends…
