Here's a free school lunch argument for the selfish: 1. Children who are hungry can't pay attention in class. 2. They do poorly in school. 3. They have fewer opportunities. 4. They may turn to crime. 5. You may be a victim of that crime. Free school lunches means less crime.

Also, could you imagine if you could ride a bear to work? Wouldn't that be cool?
Tuberville: Can you imagine if your kid would come home one day and says, “I'm taking these drugs. And I'm getting ready to have surgery because my teachers and my principal says I can”

Oh my God. They really think that Biden is still President, don't they?
Republican Speaker at Trump Rally: The Democrat Party has sold you out. They are leaving you a country that is 40 trillion in debt. They’re leaving you inflation.

"High unemployment is good, because eventually they'll be desperate enough to take the low paying jobs all the people we illegally deported used to do!"
Kevin Hassett suggests skyrocketing mortgage rates are actually a good sign for the economy because corporations are borrowing money to build things like data centers "instead of lending to homeowners."

After Rod Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges, I told a lot of people that he was a terrible person and deserves to go to jail. By JD Vance's logic, that means I turned Blago in to the police.
Vance: When you look at the Epstein files which were released…. what is the obvious thing? Donald Trump turned Jeffrey Epstein into the local police.

I get that this is just an anti-LGBTQ dogwhistle, but these guys understand that God doesn't have a physical form, and thus has no biological sex, right?
Gingrich: Talarico is one of my favorites because he said god is non-binary. I had to look that up and figure out what he meant. He means god is not a man, not a woman. If god is non-binary, how do you start our father? If it's not our father, what is it? It's our binary?

They think Liberal Arts means being taught how to be a liberal.

He honestly doesn't understand what Ken Paxton's complaint is. His world consists of only one value judgment: is it good for me, or bad for me?
DOOCY: If Paxton is telling people the convention hurt his poll numbers, why go to Texas? TRUMP: Welll, I'll tell you why. We have to win this election. That convention was a tremendous success. We beat the NFL by four times.

The man who spends literally every day of his life self-promoting, thinks he's been too modest.
Trump: "We have inflation totally in control and we've done a great job. The thing I haven't done a good job with is explaining it to people. We have the most successful period of time for a president in the history of our country."

In answer to what a lot of people are thinking: Yes. He thinks they were assigned to do his bidding for life.

Ken Paxton is an objectively terrible candidate. You can tell the GOP knows this. You don't spend this kind of money on a Republican candidate in Texas unless he's basically Satan.
The new Texas PAC spent a staggering $131 million in just 17 days to boost Republican Ken Paxton in his battle for a U.S. Senate seat, new financial reports reveal. And tens of millions more could be on the way. axios.com/2026/10/01/texas-s…

All this time, I thought that Eric Schmitt had been fed the Jack Smith texts by someone who didn't think to vet them first. Turns out, he asked for the texts, was warned that they hadn't been vetted, and decided to use them anyway. I guess I have him too much credit.

I'm sorry, I can't get past those shoes. I do not think they go with that suit. Can anyone with more fashion sense than me weigh in? @dieworkwear?
Hegseth: We're now getting weapons faster than ever before. And for this reason and many more, it's imperative that Congress passed a $350 billion reconciliation package for our warriors. We must fund the future fight. We have the most powerful and the most prepared military on the planet. Nobody can touch us. It's not even close. My job is to keep it that way

So, which is the lie? That they're a success, or a possible failure? I'm guessing it's both.
Meta tells investors its AI is a tremendous success. It tells the IRS its data centers are an experiment that could fail. Why? Only experiments qualify for this tax break. Meta is exploiting it, labeling its proven chips "research" to get a $4B tax break. nytimes.com/2026/09/30/techn…
