The only saving grace is that they did this in a solid red state. At least their optics suck, and maybe that will shake the consciences of a few of those who are pointed to as Trump supporters, and motivate them to push their elected representatives to do their job.

I saw a guy on TV Jan 6 who said he was by Babbitt at the door when the rioters were warned by armed defenders not to come through. She began to push through & was shot. She slipped down to the floor; he held her; she refused his offer to get medical help; she said he should continue the assault.

Potential-Schmotential. Golly, can’t anyone say it right out. I mean, it’s not like these guys are trying to hide their conflicts. They’re flaunting the more often than not.

Oh, doctor, I LOVE YOU for holding on to this usage, in the face of its erosion everywhere else. I have given up, except among friends.

And is anyone going to challenge the notion that media from other countries is a national security threat? He has continued to empty that phrase of any meaning.

I have great respect for your statement as a former trooper that swearing to defend the Constitution is diff from taking a loyalty oath to Trump. It actually surprised me - we’re now used to news of law enforcement acting like the thugs w/badges did in this case. Your post gives a reason to hope. TX

Josh Kraft (think dad=New England Patriots) is trying the same play here in Boston. In his ads he comes across as a candidate for the common man - more housing, e.g. He’s also trashing Mayor Wu for pledging millions to a soccer stadium for the women’s soccer league (would compete w/Krafts’ stadium).

Do wolves or coyotes or dingos splay like this, or just dogs around humans? Inquiring minds want to know…

OK, this is not charitable of me, but the enormous destruction Trump has unleashed on us (and the world) leaves me feeling (at least right now) that there should be no bail-outs for MAGA farmer states who SHOULD AND COULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER than to support the Orange Monster.

The formerly fascist company went pro-democratic to survive. And now it has beaten the present-day fascist owner of a controlling share of Tesla at his own game.

Bernie and AOC are actually not far left. Neither is recommending communism, nor even extensive socialism. They are demanding a fair sharing of the wealth of the country. The huge crowds they are getting are an indication that their message is broadly attractive.

Oooh. Yes. And in that sense, not as much fun. Or even useful? Tho, I have managed to have a couple of short conversations where we don’t completely agree….

He had to return home when Russia violated its cease fire commitment and murdered 9 civilians and wounded many more.

Marc, check out the other Mr posts about this on Blue sky. You will find outrage.

Yeah, he’s implicitly acknowledging that gender difference is innate, not learned (gay men, e.g. are not that way cuz of over-adoring moms & absent dads). Why do you need to have us kill ourselves when we could be reprogrammed instead???

Yes. There are likely many who are not members of any gang, and who have not committed crimes in the USA, but got swept up. The incompetence and indifference demonstrated in the couple of cases we know about, from litigation, was surely at work when others were rounded up.

True. There are, tho, other gluten-free brands whose nefarious owners we don’t yet know about….😁

Evidently they got bought out by this company that’s a big donor to MAGA-type Republicans….

Heck, even the 2 Bush guys went to Yale, and apparently wrote their own exams.
