Old fat white dude. Trying to come to terms with living in a country that is 50% willfully ignorant and hateful. Proud atheist becoming more and more anti religion (faith/belief is a slightly different conversation). Nullius in verba

Is he stuffed and mounted in some Cape Buffaloes game room now?

Thatโ€™s what we need, armed and masked teens running around in body armor. Get ready for Call of Duty LARPing with live rounds!

You are wrong.Most states that are D controlled have independent nonpartisan commission to determine districts.Those that donโ€™t are scored as having low politically favorable districting.In MI the min the state legislature and Gov were all Dโ€™s we undid the gerrymandering and put in the commission

The mystery and whatever you have made up in your head is far better than the reality.

It seems heartbreaking and yet appropriate to me that this art will only last until it rains.

Also noticeably not present is POTUS. Either for plausible deniability or because none of them give one shit about the nonsense that would come out of his bloated face. Or both. Soon the real ones in charge will assert themselves and force him out, his presidency is doomed, need to save midterms

This is embarrassing. I could run my cat in a 2 party race and he would do better than 16.4%. And in case you were wondering all cats are Rโ€™s, clearly they donโ€™t give a fuck about you.

This has been clear since the first primary season in 2016. None of his positions were different than the rest of the Rโ€™s except for his open and blatant racism. This has always been the draw for his base. Finally it seems child rape trumps legitimizing their racism.

I think you have decided that I said something I didnโ€™t. You are arguing with someone who agrees with you.

The quote isnโ€™t that she didnโ€™t see him commit any crimes. She โ€œdidnโ€™t see Trump do anything concerning โ€œwhat does a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker find concerning?

Opens eyes and checks Bluesky. Nope not dead yet. Rolls over goes back to sleep

Hello Iโ€™m from the HOA, you need to plant more tasty tender plants and also get a salt lick.

Am I trying to set it up? Iโ€™m not the one that allowed a tottering old man up on the roof of the most public residence on the planet.

So I gotta believe that as soon as this story broke the lawyers in the Whitehouse counsels office and DOJ who actually have synapses that still fire ran into Blancheโ€™s office screaming โ€œyou fucking recorded it? Are you really THAT stupid?โ€

If by stunning you mean stunningly obvious in her gold digging grift, then yes I do.

Wow, so she is not stealing on the subway, is stealing the actual subway. I have mixed feelings.

Some regrets are bigger than others . Did you drive in your Leviโ€™s Pacer (yes Iโ€™m old) to go get this bedset?

The only disappointment for me in that article is that it was almost instantly they said. A long ride to a hospital in the back of a jeep with massive internal injuries may have given him time to reflect on all the animals he had killed.

Standing on a soapbox in a public forum announcing your opinion will get responses. And I would argue, asks for them. Iโ€™m not saying any of these apply to you or anything you have posted.
If I see something stupid or blatantly dishonest I will reply.
If I see something I think I can add to I will

Itโ€™s not that W is any more redeemable, itโ€™s that the bar has been moved so far down now.

She might want to check her job description. I am pretty sure that speaking to the opinion and position of the Govt of The United States and its dept of State is the entirety of her job. The entirety of it! As the State deptโ€™s SPOKESPERSON.

Just when you think โ€œok, weโ€™ve finally hit bottom, he really canโ€™t get any more ignorant and racistโ€ฆ..โ€. Bang, he pulls it off, while standing on the roof for some fucking reason. And none of it even raises an eyebrow in this timeline. Sigh (poor a water glass full of whiskey)

The one thing I remember above all from childhood is that my parents were at every little league and HS game. My dad coached most of my teams. And I did the same with my kids. 90% of parenting is just being there.

Ok, thinking this through if your Cell phone is working but you havenโ€™t called anyone I am assuming this is because you donโ€™t have a signal. So if your phone dies before you get a signal then your new message wonโ€™t upload to the cloud to be heard when someone calls youโ€ฆโ€ฆ. Right? Right?

If there is a better sound on earth than a childโ€™s laughter Iโ€™ve not heard it.

I canโ€™t pay attention to Gabbard because I keep going back and watching Ingrahams pumped up lips and listen to her new speech impediment created by that baboons ass attached to her face.Does she not have people to tell her to stop? Isit not malpractice to keep pumping whatever that is into her lips?
