Meanwhile, in MAGA World, their biggest concern is Cracker Barrel.

Like a toddler who catches Mommy trying to throw out a ratty old toy that he's forgotten about, they're now defensively going to Cracker Barrel even though its sales have been slumping for over five years. A year from now, they'll be back to ignoring CB, which will continue its slide into oblivion. Until now, Cracker Barrel hasn't been relevant since the whole Brad's wife thing went viral.

A militantly mediocre restaurant chain that was slowly dying is the latest beneficiary of the culture wars. CB should be giving Julie Masino a massive bonus for saving their hides.

Maybe we should have had a thread about conservatives throwing a hissy fit over the logo. Would it have gotten 213 posts?

Republican effort to stop California redistricting gets laughed out of court:

Hopefully we'll be able to give as well as we get in the midterms. 

And hopefully other states will follow suit.

A little creative redistricting in Maryland, for example, could redistrict Andy Harris out of a job.

"Donald Trump, JD Vance, Stephen Miller, and their ilk are going to burn the country to the ground if that's what it takes so they can rule over the ashes."

More of those evangelical Christian "morals" and "family values." He got convicted of a misdemeanor count of DV and two misdemeanor accounts of assault. At least he got something. Given another few years of this, and we're going to be back to calling it "home correction."

My whole timeline is this

I can agree that the new logo is pretty bland, but MAGA is as usual blowing things way out of proportion.

Here's how Chuck Schumer functions:

This explains a lot. It also tells me that one of the top priorities of the American people is to put idiots in charge, regardless of their political leanings.

Trump's jealous, Daddy has a new boyfriend. He's angry because Putin and Narendra Modi have been palling around at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in China. Trump may well have pushed India into the arms of China and Russia with his latest stunts.

Trump is the best thing to happen to China in the past decade.
