I'm glad to see it. I've had enough of the "my good friend and colleague on the other side of the aisle" stuff when referring to unrepentant racists and insurrectionists.

I suppose it is a matter of how you measure "profit". I believe we are already at a loss and getting worse.

I don't consider myself a conservative, except in the sense that actions should be measured and consequences considered. Everything during that era felt like a panicked reaction: 'We've been attacked...we have to do something.'

FBI: Our inability to identify who or what they are and their lack of significant violent acts convince us that they are the top domestic terrorism threat...after all, what are they hiding?

I didn't budget for that cancer diagnosis and treatment this year...I guess I'll just die. Thank you for your fiscal responsibility Senator Marshall.

Re House Intel Chair Rick Crawford's concern about the release of the second strike video revealing Sources and Methods...

New spending requires 60 votes in the Senate. Recision, only 50+1. Republicans can agree to Democrats' spending requests to get a bipartisan agreement on something, then...poof. It's gone. For example, see Lucy-Charlie-football.

She threw a bird.

I always thought "The Emperor's New Clothes" was a bit silly, a clear exaggeration, but here we are. Everyone around Trump has agreed to live inside his delusion.

The reality is that Portland was safe enough for >8000 people to run past the ICE building (and through other parts of the city) as part of the Oct 5, 2025 Portland Marathon.

The "overgrown Executive" comment is out of step with, or maybe a shot at, the Supreme Court's current apparent position on Executive power.

I'm not sure peaceful rulebreaking is EXACTLY what they want. I think they want something more like the 2020 protests, not something that resembles the Dharasana Salt Works.
