Ezra Klein always delivers:

(Trump) makes his opponents look like rabid antagonists by making them respond to a reality that leaves no room for neutrality, no room for a wait-and-see open-mindedness. He creates a wild reality — and then you sound wild simply describing it.

Yesterday, Heather Cox Richardson wrote about Ramaswamy saying: “If your Social Security number ends in an odd number, you’re out. If it ends in an even number, you’re in. There’s a 50 percent cut right there."
More appropriate, if you voted for Trump, you're out. That's also a 50 percent cut.

I might’ve had better lunches…but none comes to mind. Everything at North of Bourbon was pitch-perfect, starting with the “Get Buttered” Old Fashioned. www.facebook.com/share/1MKzMH...

So far on bsky I’ve only seen pictures of cats, which are great, but I feel the need to balance the scales. Griffin is a four-year-old Cocker Spaniel who made a NFL wide receiver-worthy frisbee catch this afternoon: looked back over his shoulder at the last second and snatched it out of the air.
