@hurryinghoosiers we voted for Trump. Dems don’t even let their mindless sheep vote.

Your turn go!
Maga is at least guys eating gas station pizza and going to work.
Some rules so you can pretend that you have been there before.
Rules:
1. Point at everyone and smile. Throw out a "Hey Johnny" or "What's good Bobby".
2. Don't take more than two pieces.
3. Now it's probably going to be Shelly or Mary Beth working behind the counter. Tell her she is beautiful. Ask her birthday and include it in your Powerballs numbers. Buy at least 10.
Now, I don't care if she is a chubby 3.5. You look her in the eyes and say something wonderful. My grandpa use to say if you haven't made an old lady or fat lady smile today, you haven't done your job.
4. Lastly, this is very important. They're probably going to have something that looks like baked goods. Now they may or may not be fresh. You buy 2. And tell Shelly or MB ones for you and the other for a pretty lady. Wink at her as you leave.
5. Also, don't buy any fruity Zyn. That screams ghey.
This guy knows his way around a Casey's.
Sausage Gravy breakfast pizza is the only pro tip I can think to add to that pulitzer nominated post.

@hooky and maybe a diaper?
I guess if you lack the constitution of a true midwestern man who grew up on your grand daddy's knee, drinking Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, or Stroh's, then sure...add a diaper.

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson leaves the GOP "I'm out" after decades of loyalty
Tucker Carlson, one of the most influential voices in conservative media for over three decades, announced he is done supporting the Republican Party, citing the GOP's handling of the Iran war and what he calls blind loyalty to a foreign government over American citizens.
Carlson made the announcement on the Can't Be Censored podcast, telling listeners there is "no chance" he would support Republicans going forward. He said the party has prioritized Israel's interests above its own voters, calling the war in Iran a conflict the United States has "effectively lost already."
He didn't hold back on how he got here. Carlson said he voted Republican his "entire life" and defended the party for 35 years, but described its current direction as "immoral" and a betrayal of the people it claims to represent.
The fallout was immediate. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly agreed, posting that Carlson is "not the only one" walking away, and that a growing number of conservatives feel the party has abandoned its own voters.
Carlson's exit lands at a moment when cracks inside the MAGA coalition are becoming harder to paper over. A man who spent years defending Trump from the inside is now warning his own audience to walk away, and some of the loudest MAGA voices are nodding along instead of pushing back.

@shooter Tucker Carlson is scum. He’s a liar. He voted Dem half his adult life. He was a geek in a bow tie on pbs msnbc cnn then pretended to be a righty. He’s as fos as you are. Born in San Fran. Educated in the NE. Liar. Good riddance the right was already done with him.
now. What he is saying about maga Iran and Israel isn’t wrong. What maga signed up for. What maga believes in is decidedly not this ongoing shit with Iran. Maga signed up for the exact opposite of this stuff.
Yeah, agree with Mcm here. Carlson is a POS.
You don't like the way the Republican party looks right now? Guess what? You're a not-so-insignificant reason why this condition exists. You've spent the last 10 years propping up a guy who everybody knew was a narcissistic liar with a fragile ego. You are a good chunk of the reason Trump is in power and why a portion of the public still gobbles down his propaganda at every turn, even the lies that are so blatantly false that only an idiot would believe them. You repeat a lie enough times, people start to believe it. You were part of that cycle.
You've had your come to Jesus moment? Fine. Glad you finally got there. But just as our Republican friends like to say "Words don't mater, it's your actions that count". Tell you what, you spend the next ten years championing, good, smart candidates that don't have ulterior motives and truly have the interests of the American people at heart, then maybe, just maybe, we'll grant you forgiveness.
Till then, pardon us if your tears and gnashing fall upon deaf ears.
Yeah, agree with Mcm here. Carlson is a POS....You're [Tucker] a not-so-insignificant reason why this condition exists. You've spent the last 10 years propping up a guy who everybody knew was a narcissistic liar with a fragile ego.
I also agree 100% that Carlson is a POS. Alway was. My point was that the MAGA faithful did a 180 degree turn on him, from holding him up as the chosen MAGA media megaphone to now regarding him as the fake-ass POS that he ALWAYS was.

No, he was always fringe. He hopped on the bandwagon when it was cool in 24. And started b#tching as soon Trump got into office. He's an entertainer, nothing else. Also, one of the great things about Trump is he repels all the right people. You, Aloha, Tucker, Cheney, and Greene. Also, to show I am not bias. @bulk-vh I still would with Ms. Greene.
Post from Adam Kinzinger about Tucker:
"Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene announced yesterday that they are leaving the Republican Party. The coverage will almost certainly treat this as a story about a party coming apart, about cracks in the MAGA coalition, about dissent and fracture and the inevitable entropy of political movements. That framing is understandable and almost entirely wrong.
Tucker and MTG are not leaving the Republican Party because it failed them. They are leaving because they won the debate. The party became, over the course of a decade, almost exactly what they wanted it to be. It absorbed their grievances, adopted their language, and made their worldview the official ideology of one of the two major parties in the United States. They won. And winning, it turns out, is a problem for people whose identity is built on fighting.
I want to be clear about what I mean, because it matters for understanding something deeper about the political moment we are in. There are two kinds of people in any insurgent political movement. There are the people who want to change the system because they believe the changes will produce better outcomes. And then there are the people for whom the insurgency is the point. The fighting is the identity. The enemy is the product.
MTG is a simpler version of the same story. She came to Congress not to legislate but to perform. She understood before most of her colleagues that the institution was a stage and that the audience was not in the chamber but watching on their phones. She filed impeachment articles on her first day. She harassed colleagues in hallways. She said things designed to be repeated and condemned, because condemnation from the right people is the currency her political brand runs on. Governing (you know, the actual work of passing bills, building coalitions, managing the machinery of the state) has never been her goal and never will be. The Republican Party is now the governing party. That makes it, by definition, the enemy.
The person who understood this most clearly, long before either of them did, is Donald Trump. Trump has controlled the executive branch, bent the legislative branch to his will, reshaped the judiciary, and occupied the most powerful office in the history of the world. And he still talks about draining the swamp. He is the swamp. He built the swamp. Every cabinet secretary, every political appointee, every federal prosecutor doing his bidding is his swamp. And yet the language of the insurgent outsider, the lone fighter against a corrupt system, never goes away. Because without that language, the movement has to answer for what it has actually done with power. The machine keeps running because the enemy never disappears. You just find new ones.
This is not a sustainable politics, but it is a remarkably durable one. The grievance model does not require results. It does not require policy victories or improved conditions or evidence that the movement’s prescriptions are working. It requires only the continuous identification of enemies. And new enemies are easy, because in a complex society there is always someone to blame. The “genius” of it, and I use that word without admiration, is that winning actually strengthens it. Every victory can be reframed as incomplete, as stolen, as proof that the real enemy is still out there. The MAGA movement controls the White House, the Supreme Court, and both houses of Congress, and its most prominent media figures are still describing themselves as resistance fighters.
And I know something of suddenly being out step with your party. I walked away from my place in the Republican Party. I want to be honest about how different that departure was from this one. I let the party careen away from me and the principles I believed in because staying in the party’s good graces required a form of silence I was not willing to perform. I was not looking for a new enemy. I was trying, imperfectly and at real cost, to say what I actually believed.
The question worth asking is what it means for the country that figures like this have become its most influential political communicators. A politics organized around permanent opposition cannot build anything. It can only tear things down and declare the tearing a victory. We have seen what that produces. And the people most responsible for producing it have now decided that even the ruins are not radical enough for their purposes.
They did not leave because they lost. They left because people who need an enemy can never afford to win."
I don't know if I agree with that, but it wouldn't surprise me either.
