This has always been one of my favorite Bible stories. Showing humility in such a lovely way.

They need to consider the same hypothetical but add that the president is provably demented at the time of the order.

I wish some Dem leaders would start openly speculating about it. As in they should innocently list the top ten reasons a 79 year old male would get an MRI. We're too polite.

The Baal Room.

Democrats shy away from too much flag waving, but tearing down the White House? It's so unpatriotic on a cellular level. She is afraid to tap into that, but she has to do it. WE have to do it.

That rules out hand-stamping for in and out privileges. Pity.

But it is reported by many as sincere, not as flat out lying. It's frustrating. You do a good job of it.

I wish we could say he just pretends to be softening on Ukraine, all the while knowing he is lying and he will revert to his core stance soon enough.

It feels like it should be an easy sell, given that women are bleeding to death in ER parking lots, but what do I know?

I cannot. Because as you say we have been feckless. I'm just saying we need to stop being feckless and come into power with a plan to right the wrongs.

If a merger was approved based on extortion or bribery, it can be undone by a dem administration. We don't have to be feckless, but we do need to plan and focus so we start correcting wrongs from day one.

Kimmel for sure, but I feel like viewers who are being deprived by the government of the infotainment we want have a plausible case for standing. Are we really required to sit by and watch them take this away on purely political grounds?

Good idea. We just cancelled our account.

Hopefully most of them have let it go considering how many other, more impactful atrocities have happened since then.

Hegseth can be called Secretary of Summary Executions.

They are going to start a war. So much for the stupid Nobel.

Why in God's name do they think we won't be outraged by this? We're still Americans, aren't we? Well, aren't we....

That's good to hear. I gave up on them months ago, but if they can change, so can I.

Me too! I'm embarrassed to say I've spent a nutty amount of time designing workable details. Maybe the Dem brain trust is taking it seriously too.

I hope they are studying ways we can deposit our federal tax payments into an escrow account to be used when federal dollars are withheld from our State.

"Read the room" can mean, "you may be right but your timing stinks."

They are vying for the title of most hated family, but the trumps have a lock on that, I guess.

Yes, I was raised by very devout (also very Dem liberal) parents who drilled it into us that we must never judge others that way. I left the church in my teen years, but always lived by that. The MAGA have been testing me.

You should really try The Wire. It's amazing. Use subtitles if you can, they really helped me the second time around.

Maybe they plan to "epstein" him in his jail cell.

I want to believe that some of his waking hours lately have been spent thinking about what might happen to him if he somehow doesn't succeed.

Maybe the popularity of soccer in the US changed things in terms of fans showing allegiance with flags. They have them handy, in other words. I don't think they rushed out to get them because of these ICE raids.

Maybe it means they are planning to pay people to attend his birthday parade.

08.06.2025 21:42 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Regular people need to shun his parade. If you want to protest, there are dozens and dozens scheduled across the country, and I guarantee you they won't be singing Happy Birthday.
