I am a septuagenarian lover of books, babies, cats, dogs, progressive politics, the Spelling Bee, travel and smart, good people who know democracy is a good thing worth fighting for. I'm here for news, community and politics, not for hookups, don't DM me.

It's a lot like Twitter without as many assholes.

We never hear in our press how Trump and his wife are basically separated.

Or we can evolve, a step in the right direction doesn’t make Canada the greatest country ever, without its sins, but it is a move against the world-wide authoritarian shift taking place. I take heart in this, sorry you cannot.

Is it okay to covet a neighbor’s leader?

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emolumentsβ€”you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

I may not like or agree with what he says but I defend his right to say it.

Two terms says the Constitution, it goes for Trump, it goes for Obama. It would be wet dream for me to have Obama back in office but, here, in reality world, that just ain’t happening.

I love the thought but it’ll never happen. The missus probably feels they sacrificed enough of their family life and I don’t blame her. And I suspect Obama loves his wife more than going into that snake pit again. Neither have the necessary narcissism for that ride.

And why am I getting the feels Fox will ignore this bit of news as much as possible?

But you are not so different from me, as a little American kid, asking my mother how Germans could have done what they did. Ignorance and cruelty can happen anywhere. I grieve for the ignorance of my fellow citizens.

Not to forget TDS, the most worn out, trite, blanket excuse used by every utterly unoriginal, dullard, idiotic Maga since forever.

He was talking about being president now, for these games. If the election hadn't been rigged he would have president then and not now. I hate the guy but that seems super apparent to me what he said.

09.03.2025 03:20 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

He was talking about 2020. If that hadn't been rigged, as he falsely claims, he wouldn't be president now.

He was referring to the 2020 election. I know he is not the most eloquent guy in the world but I think what he was saying is he wouldn't be president now if they hadn't rigged 2020.

He also has been doing a lot of talking about about SS and Medicare being unsustainable and that something needs to be done about it.

A reminder, FDR never belittled Winston Churchill for showing up to the White House in battle fatigues during WW2, when they were being attacked by the Nazis. He also didn't strongarm him for Britain's mineral rights..when we were on the side of the good guys,

Don’t paint us all with same broad brush. We are suffering more than you and don’t need your hurtful words.

Listen up, you star-spangled dipshits… because while you were telling me to β€œcry harder” for the bazillionth time today cuz I have the nerve to care about kids with cancer…

THEY β€œACCIDENTALLY” FIRED THE PEOPLE WHO OVERSEE OUR NUCLEAR STOCKPILE.

Good luck holding them accountable. Dems are my party but they need to recognize what we are up against and change tactics which no longer work.

Exactly and in that order.

Trump is basically stupid and lazy and doesn't really give a crap about much beyond petty concerns. What it is beginning to worry me more are Musk and his ilk. It's like dad with dementia giving away your family inheritance to a stripper.

But up at the top of states receiving federal funding at largesse of blue states, including from department of education, such idiocy.
