Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country.
But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes.
That's not the service for which we thank them.

Saw a guy on the side of the road securing the load he had in the bed of his truck. I'm certain it's because he didn't speak the words of incantation, " that's not going anwhere", after giving it a firm shake.

When you're elongating the pronunciation of a word,you should repeat the letter of sound you're elongating, not just make the word longer. For example; niiiice, not niceeee. Or; cuuute, not cuteee.

Doing laundry and dishes is a little like an archeological dig. It's a look back at your day (dishes) or week (laundry).

When I curse at someone in traffic, I try to also demean what they're trying to do. Such as, "Pull in there and get your god-damn chicken nuggets, motherfucker."

I read an article stating something to the effect that Steve Bannon said that Newsom is imitating Trumpian style fighting. He's not. It's satire, it's parody, it's mockery. It is not imitation.

Dad and I literally put Mom's remains (ashes) in the ground today. Dug the hole, placed the box, put the dirt back and tamped it in. I remarked to my wife that we buried like we were setting a corner post. She responded that we were doing just that. She will rest in peace, snug against the earth.

the fundamental problem with these people (not jonathan) is that they don’t seem to believe in anything. if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the foundational rights of constitutional government on the altar of “buh this might not be popular” then what won’t you sacrifice?
If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling.
You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy

What the MAGA billionaires are up to is despicable. I don't think it's not about money or taxes either. It's about control. Much like corporations forcing everyone into the office, they want to force everyone to bend to their will. The W2, 10-99 folks who need to stick together.
