UPDATE: The real question isn’t what will happen to Spirit? It’s where will Spirit’s customers go?
Spirit hasn’t even been gone for 24 hours and their passengers are already wreaking havoc on other airlines, they’ve breached containment https://t.co/CmknsPPr9z

OPEN THREAD: Party on, dudes and dudettes.
“THESE GUYS LEFT NAZI GERMANY, AND MUSSOLINI’S ITALY, TO COME TO CALIFORNIA IN THE 1940s, AND THEY LIVED BY THE BEACH, AND THEY WERE DEPRESSED BY THE RELENTLESS CHEERINESS, the productivity, and the capitalism that they witnessed around them:”
In 2011, Breitbart breaks down how Frankfurt School Marxists like Adorno, Marcuse, & Horkheimer escaped Germany for 1940s Golden Age California -only to hate the endless cheer, productivity, and capitalism. They devised cultural Marxism to subvert the US. pic.twitter.com/y2ZVdfVsPw https://t.co/n4z0DCKBqB

Don’t be Minnesota.
From the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
Don’t Minnesota my state: Land of 10,000 Lakes becomes a political punching bag.
The Star Tribune is completely baffled by this development, which they view as wholly undeserved. The Star Tribune blames “conservative candidates” and Trump for the phenomenon.
The Star Tribune tracks down a political science professor who attributes the state’s unwanted status entirely to a Trump “grudge.”
No, I think there’s more to Minnesota’s recent PR decline than that:
Dinesh D’Souza didn’t just “let his daughter marry” anybody.
He let her marry Brandon Gill because the dude is the kind of patriot who walks into the lions’ den with receipts** and doesn’t flinch.🔥
In this clip, Gill looks Minnesota Dems in the eye and asks a question so… pic.twitter.com/dv1h2TsLTo

UNEXPECTEDLY: Jon Stewart Hearts Nazi-Tatted Pol Graham Platner.
Newsbusters reports that Stewart gave Platner a chummy interview earlier this week on his “Weekly Show” podcast. First, Stewart compared him to a classic movie underdog.
…here’s, kind of, always the fable of a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a kind of, you know, an honest man who has real ideals facing off against a corrupt system that is fueled by money and toxicity and all these—so there is an archetype for this.
Later, Stewart brought up the tattoo issue without mentioning its Nazi roots. He did so while thoroughly explaining away the matter, sweeping it under the electoral rug so listeners could see Platner as a changed man.
Platner’s PR team couldn’t have scripted the exchange any better.
Old and busted: “Punch a Nazi.”
The new hotness?
I think it is time we consider the possibility that Democrats are so thoroughly convinced that Trump supporters are actual Nazis that they see Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo as being an electoral advantage.

HOW IT STARTED: GameStop rally is warning that market bubbles have gone mad.
—The New York Post, January 27th, 2021.
How It’s Going: GameStop wants to buy eBay in an aggressive pivot to e-commerce. “The size mismatch is hard to overlook. GameStop carries a market value of around $12 billion; eBay sits closer to $46 billion. Despite that gap, GameStop has already been quietly building a stake in eBay ahead of a potential bid – a signal that [GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen] is willing to swing big rather than chip away at e-commerce incrementally. Markets moved fast after the news broke. eBay shares jumped more than 10% in after-hours trading, and GameStop climbed around 5%, as investors registered a mix of optimism and curiosity about what this combination could actually look like.”
SEATTLE’S SOCIALIST MAYOR HAS ONE WORD FOR HIGH-EARNERS FLEEING THE CITY:
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, a total socialist, earned ridicule after brushing off concerns about high-earners fleeing the city due to her tax policies.
During an event at Seattle University, she said, “the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are like super overblown.” For the millionaires who are leaving, she had one word: “Bye.”
She made the comments while defending her ridiculous “millionaire tax” and promising to come up with “progressive” ways to steal more money from the wealthy at the city level.
Wilson portrayed herself as a proponent for “progressive taxation” who isn’t interested in catering to the wealthy or business owners concerned about higher tax burdens. She argued, “overall, we still have a deeply regressive tax system, and my office is actively exploring our options regarding progressive taxation.” She noted that Seattle has “greater flexibility” than the county when it comes to swiping cash from people’s pockets. The mayor further insisted that it is “detrimental for Seattle’s business climate when the costs of operating in downtown Seattle are significantly misaligned with those in neighboring Bellevue.”

To be fair though, articulate responses to the issues of the day do not seem to be Wilson’s strong suit:
There has never been a better example for how the entire ideological movement has one weakness, the follow up question. The entire party just says things and then gets mad when you ask them to clarify. https://t.co/SBmzd3OsHZ
