I mean, seriously, a modest tax on second homes -- the *scariest thing you've ever heard*. Just think about all the assumptions & premises that have to be in place for that to make sense to you! For you to think it's a normal thing to say out loud!

RFK Jr.’s Lifelong Lapse of Judgment A new book shines light, if any were needed, on the man’s manifest unfitness.

Goddamn, what a messed-up selfish human being RFK Jr is, now putting his crap out on the rest of us. The stories here, and in the book, about Mary Richardson Kennedy are appalling. I am acquainted w/her sister Nan, mentioned in Bill Leuders's

A #RighteousRant here!

A righteous rant, David. These three posts sum things up all too well.

Swalwell needs to go—to drop out of both the CA gubernatorial and Congress. And if I hear one more abuser try to excuse their behavior by saying “I’ve made mistakes” and “this is between me and my wife,” well, just spare me. www.cnn.com/2026/04/10/u...

This report is well done. It has detail and they appear to have done their due diligence.

I feel terrible for the woman who experienced this and carried it for years.

These are serious allegations. They deserve to be taken seriously, examined, and handled with care for everyone involved.

I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social

I love this show for so many reasons, not the least of which is that I have a friend who has, at different points in his life, been Wayne, Dary, and Dan

(Also the @thepackad.bsky.social song in the first episode!)
