I want to know how they think they cloned him, and then immediately aged him 80 years.

Seems like Elmo is just trying to save his company by pretending he’s offended.

It's just better to not give them an audience to bounce their insane ideas off of and get used to saying them out loud. Keep em bottled up like the deranged lunatics they are.

People in that world aren't concerned with evidence because they have no interest in learning how things work and why they do. Hence the lack of education in the majority of them.

The more we hear them out and challenge them on these fictions the more they'll dig in their heels and solidify those positions.

If we don't engage they might stumble on information that disproves their nonsense and adjust their wackjob narratives.

There's no point in having real conversations with them. The truth is whatever they want it to be, so it's pointless.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the#Navy#to take the rare step of renaming a ship, one that bears the name of a gay rights icon, documents and sources show.

Military.com reviewed a memorandum from the Office of the Secretary of the Navy -- the official who holds the power to name Navy ships -- that showed the sea service had come up with rollout plans for the renaming of the oiler ship USNS Harvey Milk.

Milk was a Navy veteran, comissioned as an officer in 1951, served in the Korean war, honorably discharged as a lt junior grade in 1955.


The gop and trump are so unbelievably fragile...the ship is named after a gay man...change it change it! Losers

MTG complaining about what she voted for just adds to the infinite list of her extreme stupidity.

I was just thinking this. The coworkers thought Dolly the sheep was a full adult sheep right off the bat, like the movie "the 6th day"?

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?
KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

I miss when there was sanity down there. Now the solution is to just yell and talk over top of logic when presenting outlandish arguments and you are golden.

Pretty clear example why Christfascists need to be shot down immediately, and not entertain their ideas around book banning. "Oh, ya, ok, I see that sounds reasonable I guess" is how you end up where the US is. Stop giving them inches.

So as not to appear as just merely homophobic but racist as well, trump admin is also planning on renaming other Navy ships as well.
Ships named for Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsberg are also on the list to be changed.
