No worries, I didn’t see the original response. And I didn’t mean my response to be condescending. Friendly fire averted?

The meta story of the (imminent) Yes win in VA is the total inability of Trump to ever look down the game tree. He was apparently unable to comprehend that Democrats would respond to his push to redistrict in GOP-run states

This same pehenenon is also why we are losing a war to Iran.

Is it though? They are probably privately-run for-profit centers. This is just an effective government finding a way to help people.

It may be what the right calls socialism, but that just underscores the fact that all the anti-left BS is just that…BS.

Please allow me to argue against you, then for you.

Cheney initially supported Harris primarily because of the threat of Trump, not because of policy agreement.

Then Harris started talking about adding Republicans to her Cabinet and/or creating a Rep “advisory board.”

So why are infection rates skyrocketing now that they’ve cut immigration down to a dozen white South Africans?

Ok, I see how that works at the state level, but then who is MY representative?
Or does it become like senators, in that they don’t have a specific constituency? And if that, don’t you lose the constituent services provided by congressional reps?

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime.

Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction.

And then there's this...

How far did the fish swim that it started raising alarms?

The only question is to which act is he referring? The coup attempt? The stolen (presumably sold) classified documents? Or any of every act he’s taken since returning to power?

No parent should have to mourn their child. So sorry for you and your family.

Convict his family of corruption (I assume he’ll be dead by 2028); seize their properties; turn all of his hotels, including MAL, into homeless shelters and temporary housing for migrants awaiting their residency/citizenship. Especially MAL.

I retired 6 months ago after 30 yrs of federal service. My health is fine, but my government contracted a case of Naziism, so kinda similar.

Retired before I intended to, but I am really enjoying it. I wish you the best and look forward to reading your stories.

Well, can we let him drive the bus?

I’d gladly vote for her again, but I fear she has the stink of losing to Trump on her. One can argue about whether that is her fault but the fact remains.

Definitely top three in terms of lacking qualifications and being in over his head. Not even close to top 3 in terms of damage done.

Little victories

Perhaps a more obscure one, but…

Rolling Stones, Time Is on My Side, Fallen

Why is it, that in the midst of all the truly horrible things this regime is doing, stuff like this just guts me?

a person is swimming in a body of water with a watermark that says imgflip.com Alt: Martin Sheen rising from the water to kill Brando’s Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now

Doors, The End, Apocalypse Now!

Remember as a kid, when you and your friends would swim/walk in à circle around an above-ground pool to create a whirlpool-like current? EVERYBODY INTO THE ATLANTIC!

Right? The most overrated collection of common sense tips ever collected. And yet graduate-level knowledge for these clowns.

He’s almost making me want to go back to Catholicism. Almost.

2 Tums, 2 Tylenol, and an Ambien.

I have no idea if this is true, but the question—and the possible answers—have me cracking up.

The creepy Trump-as-Jesus picture Trump posted to Truth Social on 12 April 2026.

"Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous—whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light....Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way....And then I see the disinfectant...by injection inside or almost a cleaning."
