Republicans, sorry for the bad news, but you have no off-ramp after supporting Trump.

Excuses - Oh I was paid to say those things. You didn't think I really believed them?

The Trump Gas Tax:
The fee Iran is charging for passage through the Strait of Hormuz which is passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.

Sticker handed out to voters in Hanover County, Virginia, after voting in State Elections 2026. Ballot had only one yes/no measure, allowing Virginia to temporarily redistrict in response to Texas.

YES, Virginia is telling it to Texas (I hope).

Waiting for people really into "vinyls" to find out many of the 45s are made of styrene.

People in the future will not believe how bad things are under Trump. They will say we exaggerate. They will say he didn't post most of the posts. They won't believe the scale. They will not understand the relentlessness of it.

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

It was pretty enough that we did not complain about the earthquakes, wildfires, cold foggy mornings, and tar on our feet.

Thank you. I read a little bit online yesterday about snakes as symbols on Roman funeral sculptures, and saw that my notion of snakes as symbols of a death by suicide were unlikely.

Your ALT text saying it "was identified as a Cleopatra" made me wonder if a Cleopatra was a type, and death by suicide was implied. Just curiosity, no evidence.

The sunglasses!

Does the snake indicate a suicide?

They don't seem to understand how freedom works. When shopping, you can select what you want, and put it in your cart. If you don't want something, then don't put it in your cart. This is how freedom works.

Same thing happened with google books. We are copying all your copyrighted books and will offer a few pages at a time in search. Google won its lawsuit against the publishers, too.

The host country gets to nominate a new sport as an Olympic sport. LA Olympics coming up, but they could not use real US football as an Olympic sport (violence money drugs injuries, etc). So the NFL, who has money and clout, reinvented the old playground game of flag football for coed Olympic use.

One day he will say, "I want to play chess without the pawns," and organizers will set up Soulless Chess Tournaments for him.

Scroll, scroll, scroll for something new when the algorithm feeds you more, more, more of what you've already seen.

You can mute individual words here, like his name and his lifestyle strategy, and never see those posts again.

Wasn't that on a yellow button?

Something coming up that he won't do?

Del McCoury?

Analogy - suppose we started Philosophy over, and got rid of the need for an extensive University education and grad school, by making it a rule, no footnotes, no bibliography, and never mention any predecessors. Just start spouting philosophical things freestyle. Kids can do it. Oldsters can do it.

I like presidents who don't lose wars.

Trump thought it was a picture of him as a doctor? Buzzzz - WRONG. Failed that cognitive test.

Jesus went to look for the one lost sheep, so the pope is supposed to go rescue the wayward Catholic, not cut him off.
