"Discussions?" Oh, FFS.

Yes and no. Similar growing outrage (the threshold was lower back then). But the media did their jobs back then, the president’s party in congress were not all partisan hacks, and no underage girls were violated in Watergate.

It’s important to take pleasure from the little things: for example, Marco Rubio’s dead-on-the-inside gaze. That’s the look of a man who knows he sold his soul.

So, what is she going to do about it? Nothing, that’s what. She’ll bitch and moan and then again let grievance and racism guide her vote. These people.

Seriously, I have no idea. They have so thoroughly compromised and debased themselves, I can’t imagine anything they would hold dear.

And he’ll get confirmed.

Interesting, but I think you give Johnson too much credit. His professed faith hides the absence of a moral compass and rather than being coerced, he quite willingly hitched his wagon to the star of said con man.

I chalk it up to a simple language misunderstanding: Einstein used his brain; Melania gave head. Tricky thing, the English language.

I don’t know it as well as I should. Loved her first album and played the hell out of it, but had moved overseas before this one came out.

As a member of Generation Jones who came of age in the '70s, I long for the days when Stephen Miller was known only as the guy who sang Fly Like an Eagle.

This is all true. Has anyone even ever heard Donald Trump sing? As music is sign of joy, soul, and spirit, I doubt he’s capable of it.

Farmers, you can own the libs, or you can own your farms. It seems you made your choice.

yeah, you’re right. Yay you.

Good point. But if so, the least he could do it pick up the pace a little.

There will be time to sort that out. At the moment, anyone willing to commit is welcome. To do otherwise would, unfortunately, be typical democrat.

I’m willing to meet him half way. I’ll support a coin for him if he’s willing to die.

I’ve got entire decades I would take back if I could, and I suppose if there were a chance to make money, I also would be publicly offering mea culpas. Stick around, you’re going to love it in a few years after he’s gone and every one in his circle is scrambling to share their concerns.

Well, this thread has me thinking of several republicans I’d like to caress with a two-by-four. Is that gentle enough?

Great another one who was quite happy to aid and abet the felon-in-chief, and cash in when he had the chance but now has a conscience, a spine, and probably a book to sell. F*** every one of them.

Curious how she is going blame Biden or Harris for this. Maybe woke.

In their defense (kind of), I think the they have been left behind. Gingrich killed that clubby agree-to-disagree, “my good friend across the aisle” thing in the ‘90s, and the Rs have been out for blood ever since, but no one told the dems. They aren’t evil or complicit, just pathetic.

Come on, magic cheeseburger!

It’s been that way for decades. Why change now? Since Reagan, the Rs have been allowed to frame public debate and a cowardly Democratic Party let it happen.

Maybe we need another pandemic. 1 million dead, a cratered economy and a botched government overthrow wasn’t enough to dissuade people from voting for him again. Mother Nature needs to lift her game.

This was no triumph of the first amendment; this Disney reminding us that, in Trump’s America, even fear takes a back seat to greed. It’s useful information, and I am all for people and corporations doing the right thing for the wrong reasons, but don’t make it out to be more than that.

Checking my schedule for next week:
Sept 23 The Rapture
Sept 24 househunting
Sept 25 feeding dogs people left behind
Sept 26-27 getting furniture, picking through stuff. I’ve got my eye on an air fryer.
I’m swamped.

Come on, magic cheeseburger.

Yes, interesting. In the Chinese curse sense of the word.
