Big believer in the rule of law and three coequal branches of government. Can’t change the fact that I’m a boomer. I can live with it as the wisdom (such as it is) from years of mistakes is fine. My motto: Better living through sarcasm

Vice President JD Vance Friday on X:
“Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t funny, his ratings were in the toilet, and his advertisers were revolting. Also the bellyaching from the left over ‘free speech’ after the Biden years fools precisely no one.”

I am waiting to see proof of free speech being infringed by Biden

And this is the world we live in. Misinformation, disinformation, and alternate truth along with the fools who believe their warped reality.

To quote the late, great Carrie Fisher, things are getting worse faster than we can lower our standards.

Rerunning that old (now unfunny) soviet era joke:
Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev are on a train. Train stops moving.
Stalin: “shoot the engineer!” Train still stuck.
NK: “rehabilitate the engineer!” Still stuck.
Brezhnev, pulling down the window shades: “Comrades! The train is moving!”

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand.

Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

FOTUS can’t get to the end of a run on sentence without changing his mind and/or forgetting what he said previously. Cognitive decline much?
