I think the millions of people willing to protest across the U.S. may have something to say about that. I don't want a violent takeover of the Capitol, but how about a massive strike?

Today's loss of David Scott is another sad example. Can we not mentor and promote some of our up and coming leaders? Ones that could survive a proper vetting?

Term or age limits or both, in Congress, judicial appointments and Presidential candidates. PLEASE!!!

Thank you - this is helpful.

Understood - they DO make it difficult.

Sorry, but anyone is free to run in the primaries these days - if Platner did, someone else could step up. Give us another option between someone who should be retiring and someone who has baggage that will haunt him during the actual election.

Yep, continued affirmation that I was right in canceling my subscription. I just finished Katharine Graham's bio and she and Ben Bradlee are surely spinning in their respective graves....

I don't live in Maine, but surely there was a better candidate than either Mills or Platner to represent the voters? I'd still vote blue in the actual election, regardless, but really???

I have no idea what platform this is from. But it's from a tattoo artist saying AI art sucks. I'm not typing all this out, someone else can alt4me or whatever.

My tattoo artist just reposted this enthusiastically endorsing the messaging "what next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?"

☹️ I'm so frustrated - years ago we fought against mandatory hair lengths, afros, pants for women - and those were only the fashion taboos we overcame. We are losing those and the more critical voting, gender, civil and many other rights. WTF? I'll go again at 73 and I have nothing more to lose!!!

I'm old enough to remember when they did exactly that. For ethnic fashions and for women who wanted to wear pants. Not allowed till after I graduated in 1970.

While we continue to burn money, lose face and antagonize the world.

I figured there was a time reset somewhere. Not reassuring but at least informative!! Thanks!!

BREAKING NEWS: tim cook is stepping down as CEO of apple. i wish trump would also step down.

of course, i’m comparing apples to oranges.

You win the prize for today!! 🤣

The time stamp is 10:09 - what time zone was this posted in? It could only have been 6:09 ET at the latest

Doesn't matter - he was already defeated once and I don't think he's gonna have much of a showing this time no matter how they deal with the primaries.

Both children ingested a good deal of pool water which in itself can be dangerous. What the hell was he thinking? And yes, he's running unopposed in the GOP primary in Colorado....wonder what the Republican voters in District 21 will do?

Yeah, and "I don't remember" or "I plead the fifth" won't get him far. (I want someone to giggle out loud every time he pleads the "fifth"....)

Well, I'd like to include men who don't wear shirts in public, men and boys whose pants show a butt crack or are worn anywhere below the waist. And let's require bras for men who have "man boobs".

I had not seen that - amazingly good marketing piece!!

If you cannot answer that question directly, then you are not independent and should not serve on that Board. Period.

That is all well and good, but ending the war is the real trick. Expert negotiators took months to reach the deal with Iran that Trump tore up. He has fired all the experts, and the amateurs he has sent to negotiate are going to settle this war in a few hours? They won't, and he will TACO or bomb.

Wait til you hear the Hegseth "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor". If these guys want to blow off Iran, they may have a marketing career....

"EXACTLY: As news emerges Kash is frequently drunk, #Iran 🇮🇷 posted this video mocking Pete #Hegseth. “What shall we do with a drunken sailor.” These clowns launched an illegal #war. Share widely!"

Pretty sure Iran will have to show up in order to "get a deal". Just like Trump was going to unilaterally negotiate a Ukraine peace deal without Ukraine. A two-way contract isn't binding if it only has one signature....

Like many religious nationalists, he uses the church as a tool when it is convenient, and spurns it when it's not.

There's always a sucker who's going to bet against the house.....

how is this literally happening in real life

and Jeannie Pirro will be drafting the indictments.... because of her phenomenal success rate.
