" commonsense " ?? Give me a frickin break.
Like having a beard and being unable to do push-ups, disqualifies someone from flying drones?

What buffoons!

Rory McIlroy facing verbal abuse at Ryder Cup; increased police presence joins his match McIlroy directed an obscenity at a fan during his first match Saturday but has had many more shouted to him, along with personal insults.

I just continue to be embarrassed by and ashamed of my country. Yet more evidence for the decline and fall of America under tRump

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he's considering a run for Minnesota governor The Trump ally was at the center of efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and supported debunked conspiracy theories about the vote.

Oh please, if there is a god in heaven, let this happen in my beloved state. Imagine this guy on the top of the GOP ticket? Please!

“A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter” — Trump implies UN tried to sabotage First Lady, while he saved millions.

But Joe, it is who we are. What further proof could anyone need? Personally, I'm less interested in blaming Trump than I am trying to figure out what has happened to the America I thought I knew. Beginning to think I've been wrong about America for 75 years.

Fascism and Catholicism have a long history. Franco, Mussolini.
Obedience to authority is primary duty; Personal identity tied to group membership; no individual freedom; Common good > individual rights; self-righteous claim to the truth; demonize the "other" (esp. women).

Is anyone else as confused as I am about the WHITE line of scrimmage line and the WHITE 5 & 10 yard line markers on TV? Whatever happened to the yellow scrimmage line? #TNF #NFL

Did you ever play a musical instrument, even just a few lesson back in school? Well, return to it. I returned to the guitar that I have strummed off & on for 45+ years. Replace the time scrolling with music. Been giving it an hour a day and loving it. A healthy & sane alternative

The Trump regime has dropped a nuke on the First Amendment and we have yet to hear a united response from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov ... well forget them. This is going to have to come from leaders without leadership titles and the grassroots

Will the NFL. change this by next weekend? ( not a rule change, but refs will get told to call it !)

Turns out that everyone is an atheist - about every god except their own. Just ask your religious friends if they "believe in" Odin, Zeus, Amun, etc. "Of course, not" they will answer. "Oh, so you are an atheist after all."

My heart goes out to her, but this is an irresponsible thing to say. Who are the “evildoers” who killed her husband? Who is the “they?” A 22yr old man from Utah shot & killed her husband. We don’t yet know why. Anyone using “they,” as in they” killed Charlie, is inciting division & hate. It’s wrong.

So, send in the lawyers ??!(. Really?
Very Jeffersonian of you. Maybe they should have sued George III.

And Prescott, who is shown on video spitting at Carter to start it, gets . . . Oh, that's right, he's with the Cowboys, "America's Team"
Typical NFL favoritism

Potential Trump tariff refund bill could top $1 trillion as Supreme Court fight looms The Supreme Court has not indicated when it might rule on a request by the Trump administration to decide quickly on whether many new tariffs are legal.

Alternative headline: Trump illegal tax on Americans could top $1 trillion!

Trump tariff refunds could top $1 trillion if Supreme Court finds them illegal

With Aikman claiming he was wide open - what game is he watching?

racists bastards - no other explanation

Treasury Secretary Bessent warns of massive refunds if the Supreme Court voids Trump tariffs Bessent has warned that a delayed ruling "could result in a scenario in which $750 billion-$1 trillion in tariffs have already been collected."

Imagine Amazon or Walmart making this claim: A court found that we illegally overcharged you a ton of money, but we shouldn't have to pay it back because. . .well, that would really be hard to do and, besides, that would cost us a ton of money ! F*uck them!

Connect the dots! This explains all the data, and provides a plausible scenario: someone trying to escape responsibility for the worst of crimes by admitting to guilt of a lesser crime . . . happens all the time

Bur the US was in competition with the USSR during the Manhattan Project, right? Obviously, much more so with Germany, but it is not as if no one wasn't thinking of post-war balance of power . .

no, because we grew up with politicians like Gene McCarthy, Hubert Humphrey, and Fritz Mondale, business leaders who took CSR seriously, and sports heroes like Tony Oliver, Rod Carew, Alan Page, . . . and Lake Wobegon

"opaque decisions" that are "a product of compromise" yet he still wants judges to treat them as precedents. Can't have it both ways. So dishonest.

Former colleague's assignment for math students: given the Powerball rules he'd ask them to calculate the odds of winning with 1 ticket. Next assignment would ask to calculate the odds if they bought 0 tickets. He then asked them to explain the difference b/w 1 in 300 million, and 0 in 300 million

Come on Chris. You know your Plato. Thrasymachus: "Justice is the advantage of the stronger". Authority? Who needs authority? I've got the power, I can do whatever I want. Power = authority.

Well, I guess "we're all going to die" anyway, so why cause problems for government agencies?

Imagine this pablum coming from the Speaker of the House in 2026-28. Does anybody think this will strengthen the Dems heading into 2028? Let's hope the Blue Wave that is coming next year will sweep this empty suit and his entire team out of their leadership role in the House.
