That's before the media decided it was a good idea to privilege their views over those of actual Americans.

Who needs to decorate for Halloween when we've still got Joros all over the house? This week's (mid October) temperatures in the 80's should keep them going strong.

Can people write to the Nobel Committee in advance with objections to next year's potential nominees? I can think of about a thousand for Trump just off the top of my head.

I suspect Mike would say he's "lying for Jesus." He doesn't seem to realize that kind of lie is supposed to be "No, Anne Frank isn't in our attic" (when she is) rather than "We're concerned about healthcare" (when you've got no intention to do anything).

I'm truly hoping that the day comes quickly when their current stories and editorial policies are held up in journalism schools as examples of the worst kind of abdication of responsibility.

It's not really a coincidence that Lindsey was a US Senator throughout the decades that the United States degenerated into what it is today.

Boy, it took him what, about 90 minutes to undermine all the hype on the ceasefire?

Once again, a Republican is getting all sorts of positive exposure for saying something that was patently obvious when millions of Democrats already said it.

Yeah, we got that last time as well with the ones who claimed they only voted for him because he promised a tax cut. I'd be shocked if 98% of them didn't vote for him again this time.

Odd that she seems to know a guy whose organization apparently specializes in doing that for Republican events.

I've reached the point where a good night's sleep beats staying up to watch SNL every time, and I don't believe that's mostly because of age.

To be fair, that hand is going to be pretty sore when they put the IV back in after the cameras are gone.

On the plus side we can all laugh when their show gets about 2% of the ratings Bad Bunny's gets.

Sometimes the pirates used to put a metal detector in their big chests of treasure so they'd be easier to find later on.

Put a mouse and a duck in it and it can become a new ride. They can sell $37 churros to the people in line.

Putting them in the line of fire in front of himself is somewhat different from "having their back."

I don't really think it's grammatically correct to capitalize the a in antifa because it isn't actually the proper name of an organization. In fact, it ought to be treated more like an adjective than a noun.

It's important to remember that every accusation is inevitably a confession.

Yeah, my MAGA rep has been all over the place offering help and advice. A fine Christian like Johnson wouldn't lie, would he?

Was trying to figure out who "Forgigato Blow" was, and it turns out they misspelled the stage name of a fatass country "rapper" who sports face tattoos and performs illiterate doggerel like "Trump Train" and "Conservative." That's bound to be a huge draw for the red hats.

I still maintain that his use of shorthand terms for important issues is a further sign of cognitive decline.

It's his damned job to know, and unlike most federal workers, he's still getting paid to do it. I don't ever want to hear him complaining about anybody else being lazy.

I am 100% in agreement, yet note that the average high school teacher assigning a research paper or essay to her classes will end up with around 150 multi-page papers to grade, along with demands to give "immediate, personalized feedback" from parents and administrators. Smaller classes are crucial.

Taking away the current system, which is flawed but works, is clearly more important than having any sort of viable alternative ready to be implemented any time soon in its place. Because, of course, the current system was implemented under a black President.

No mystery to this.

I think students should consider apprenticeship/vocational post-secondary education very seriously. We've treated college as a ticket-punch to a career, and the trades are much more needed and lucrative. Add in unions, and the average person in a trade is generally better off.

Taking advantage of the lack of cognitive connection that MAGA makes between "the government" and the Trump regime. I've had conversations with cultists who will declare they do not trust the federal government but get really angry when you tell them who controls it.

I'm telling you, this persona for her won't last beyond election night in 2026. She's not really very good at it as it is, and as soon as she doesn't have a viable challenger she'll revert to type. If she loses, she'll be on Fox spouting the old Jewish Space Laser swill pretty much pronto.

Yeah, that behavior is kind of a defining characteristic of a cult. It kind of makes me think about how a Democratic President would never be the subject of a cult: we don't have the level of conformity and identity politics that Republicans depend on: White, faux-Christian, and uneducated.

Well, if the cease-fire holds up I'm not going to cavil (not saying you are) but the success of the whole thing depends on Trump continuing to pay attention and follow through. That only happens if he has something to gain personally from the whole process. So don't bet on it.

I'm also pretty sick of having local games being blacked out that are taking place in a stadium my taxes paid for and played by a team receiving millions in tax credits I have to pay to make up for.
