Now if I can only get Jon Ossoff to run a similar campaign here in GA...

"It should come as no surprise that the only evidence of meddling with people’s votes came from Trump’s own camp—the same thing happened in the 2020 election too."

we're not worthy! we're not worthy!

Late to this, but worth noting--my cancer support group recently coaxed out of me my OWN self-care, which I proudly owned:

Yelling at MAGA idiots who've slowed down to mouth off to me at public protests

I've yet to have any of them back their own words whenever I say "come say it to my FACE, liar"

Way to go, Gav's Gen Z comms kids!

"Too complicated! Keep it simpler!

No more chess moves, think checkers!"

--the last pundit I left behind

Perfectly put, Judi.

Saw that earlier and thought "that HAS to be a made-up name," but...

Which is why *our* tourist dollars went there, and not to gross, Brexity England, not long ago.

It could work.

Lately we've not even been trying, have we?

I've been thinking a few easily-procured fireworks would do the trick.

(c) 1981-2026.

Nice, but a nitpick--that was 1939, not 1949.

Add it to the alphanumeric list.

I used to call DC home. I can't even imagine the rage I'd feel if I knew there was even a remote chance I'd have to ride, drive or walk past this.

Is it bulletproof?

"Reporter"? Lolol

So true. I've learned that the tiniest imperfections feel like boulders in your mouth.

Also! I never expected that having *temporary* crowns removed could be as scary as mine were. I felt like they were ready to haul out Channel locks to finish the job - those suckers weren't going without a fight.

I kinda preferred "defyin'"

Air Force Maintenance Staff Can’t Stop Buying Fancy Knives With Tax Dollars “Everyone knew we didn’t need them.” Air Force maintainers have been on a decadelong knife-ordering spree.

Just like the Air Force maintenance staffers "need" $350 knives.

The same extravagance that's provided $350 knives for Air Force *maintenance* staff (this dates back to 2017, so it happened on Biden's watch, too)

Yebbut... I've hated him longer than you have, so there!

(probably. I'm talking back to the Central Park 5 days.)

Why the Democrats Aren’t Sweating the Republicans’ Huge Cash Advantage While the national party’s war chest is paltry compared to the GOP’s, individual candidates are raising eye-popping numbers from donors big and small.

tl;dr - don't go nuts, kids - the Dems are raising plenty o' green where it's most needed.

Fair point, but Ida capitalized "Him" out of habit and respect.

Manslaughter charges at minimum. If the perps wind up pleading out to lesser charges and wind up doing just a year or three hard time I could live with that.

But nothing less.

Yes, and "accountability" must mean manslaughter charges, at minimum. There was zero, zilch justification for that high-speed chase, and her death must be avenged.

Unless you believe the "tree of liberty" must be watered with the blood of teachers.

to the Chevy Spark, Nissan Versa, Mitsu Mirage. Can't buy them new, even though they were the cheapest in their lineup. Nobody in their right mind would greenlight a Kei sized car for development & manufacture here in the US, even if we COULD magically waive crash standards to allow their sale. ?/?

Think I'll wrap this up, since a) I derailed my own thread by posting out of order but y'all will figure it out, and 2) you get the idea.

Cheap shots land hard.

We should take them, and bait, mock, and belittle this sick, ignorant prick, and all of his supporters, early and often.

No that's not being ableist, pointing this out. Audiobooks exist. Moving on

No family pet of any kind? If he'd had a history of supporting animal rights and found companion animals to be morally problematic...Stop laughing!

Seriously, the jokes write themselves, such as "no dog would have him." 4/
