Yes, Brooke, really.

There must be someone out there who wants to write a book about semantics and the devolution of language.

If it's true that Rasmussen, a pollster that has continually shown higher numbers for trump than most polling orgs, is predicting low numbers going forward, it is, indeed, very interesting. Perhaps more people are beginning to see the emperor's new clothes for what they are? One can hope.

They are so going to wish they hadn't seated this Arizona daughter. She's not made of the wishy washy stuff.

Aside from everything you've said, to which I agree, I abhor Watson because he tried to link race and intelligence. That was in THIS century, with him reiterating it as late as 2019. How anyone can be that racist and intellectually ignorant, while also being quite genius-like at times, astounds me.

And for those who don't know WTH we're talking about, it's the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA.

Had he not written so maliciously about her in The Double Helix, he might not be thought of so badly today. Women in science have long faced this problem, and in the 50s it was the rule, rather than the exception.

Had she had a bit more time, she would have been the one given credit, not Watson. 😞

I'm getting tired of seeing all the money that's being wasted on this effort.

On a side note, I didn't know you had moved to Bloomberg. Grats, local guy!

For an administration that continually rails against all forms of economy structures other than capitalism, they seem exceedingly willing to make an exception for themselves.

Considering there are just over 100k deaths from overdoses each year his numbers are off. Way off. Big surprise.

Absolutely! I wish I could look half as trendy. Although, honestly, I'd probably look silly dressing like that. I'm probably a few feet taller and female so...

Had I the style sense I'd become his groupie with the hopes it would go somewhere. 🀣

Silwa is the spoiler here. No idea what demographic supports him or who they would vote for if it was just a 2-man race.

AI is a way of taking good paying jobs away, so that people can be forced into lower paying, blue collar work. People will be paid less, have fewer or no benefits, and have to work longer. The wealthy will get more tax cuts.

Things like this always bring to mind the fairy tale, The Emperor's New Clothes. People see (and hear) what they want because it serves some purpose to them. Until reality bites them in the @$$ and they recognize the truth.

Although I agree with the conclusions I have to say that my first thought when I saw the photo was, "How can any woman fall for that guy?"

There is NO legal case and your statement just supports the normalization of fascism, rather than supporting democracy. You know what else is true? We will remember who gave aid and comfort to the enemy down the road. Consider the long term because you're killing yourself for short term profits.

Why? Because he wants to keep his job. The GOP knows that their economically disadvantaged supporters will see the emperor's new clothes, in spite of the fact that he's naked. Their wealthy supporters don't care because it allows them to continue corralling the wealth of the world.

I would hope that these firms will see a total loss of all such businesses.

A tweet from Michael Weiss reads: β€œKirill Dmitriev hands (R.–Fla., naturally) Rep. Ana Paulina Luna a book titled, β€˜Great Words of a Great Man.’ You can see the great man referred to right there on the cover. She is very excited.” The photo shows Ana Paulina Luna smiling as a man hands her a book.

A close-up image of the book cover shows text in Russian that reads β€œΠ’Π΅Π»ΠΈΠΊΠΈΠ΅ слова Π²Π΅Π»ΠΈΠΊΠΎΠ³ΠΎ Ρ‡Π΅Π»ΠΎΠ²Π΅ΠΊΠ°,” which translates to β€œGreat Words of a Great Man.” The cover features a photo of Vladimir Putin.

People need to NOT let themselves be intimidated by this kind of behavior. If we don't protest, don't stand up for what's right, they will win. That. Can't. Happen.
