The attacks on Mamdani claiming a socialist is the same as a communist, to the extent it was effective, shows the ignorance of American voters. This country could use some social services for its citizens.

I've had two FJRs, 80k mi on the first, 25k on the Gen3. Over the same period, also 70k on an Aprilia Futura that I sold after owning it for 23 years. At present, most of my riding is on a Tenere 700, from the ADV bike category that stole S-T bikes' market.

Groceries is the things you used to eat. Donate $$ of any amount to your local food bank.

The next time I go into a Starbucks, it will literally be my second time *ever*. Other choices for coffee are out there.

Very strong intuitions? /s

I'll go first: We have trusted child rapists to lead the country. Criminals in charge of defending the law.

True libertarians... now there's an oxymoron phrase.

Keep up the good fight, Lee Turner.

Dems' messaging might stick in mind better if the statistics were "nearly 50%" and "over 200%" or "cut in half" and "doubled." I understand striving for defendable accuracy, but this is messaging. Anyone who argues with the facts so presented might generate free media coverage. Just saying.

Caterpillar, Inc. builds great equipment but so does Deere.

Except today's tariffs are not to save blue collar jobs but rather to extend the power of a wealthy minority who typically control information outlets through technology. IMHO, this difference was the Trojan horse missed by voters bc of the rightwing fire hose of dis/misinformation. It continues.

Dissolving Congress is the right term.

Instead of paying bribes without any way to know the final total amount, wouldn't it have been easier and make more sense to have just accepted a modest tax increase?

Sitting Republicans sitting at home ignoring the people who voted for them after being ORDERED to leave Washington.

With all the job destruction the regime is doing, a lot of people will have that thrust upon them unwillingly, staying home and only buying essentials.

A general strike is difficult when you look at the list of enabling corporate bribers, er.. donors. I don't buy much from Caterpillar, people who live away from shopping centers have little choice except Amazon. All of this is known by the contributors; many of the names are unknown to consumers.

Republicans forced this upon us, so do it, do it, DO IT!

Republicans are resting comfortably at home watching the literal tearing down of democracy after being ordered out of the nation's capital.

Sorry, but it's called the Extreme Court.

Possibly so... makes sense, sadly.

Is this why Karoline Leavitt and others left the Trump-Putin meeting aghast at what they'd witnessed?

This is the most accounts I've ever blocked at one time. Ageist fooks.

By the time the damage Trump is doing to the economy is apparent to the last MAGA, it will be a steep climb to reverse the damage. Every day unrealized is one day deeper into a recession.

Extreme Court Justices are not beyond impeachment provided voters put enough Democrats in office. Amirite?

I'm on board with both of you. What is the point of funding a government that is attacking it's own citizens? Starve MAGA until it's small enough to be drowned in the bathtub. Take the gloves off dealing with these fuckers.
