While I don't doubt that this is what happened, I still am unable to see any pavement strike by a shot from the taken pistol. What am I missing?

As a dear friend of mine often says, "dumb as a bag of metric hammers."

Small correction: They are doing whatever the hell *he* wants.

Which is exactly why Trump departed Air Force One in AK ahead of Putin exiting his own plane. There's only one person Trump respects more than himself, and it showed on that day very clearly.

please... Please... PLEASE... *PLEASE* don't be a typo. LOL!!!

No. It's because he can't read.

With all that is happening, I can't help but feel just a little sad. But when they come face to face with the consequences of their actions and beg for help, then I'm sorry, but I've already helped as much as I'm able.

I helped by trying to prevent this. I voted for *HER*... not "Diaper Dementia."

Our current crop of democrats in office need to be forcefully reminded to think like the heroes we so desperately need... NOW!

I just started re-reading a favorite LeCarre of mine, and there is a quote used in it that is firmly anchored in my grey matter during these trying times:

"One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being." - May Sarton

My "hero" thoughts are tiring me out of late...

That you mistakenly thought my thinking needed "correcting" is why our side is not in a position to win future elections yet.

Why are you getting mad at me? I'm on your side. 😁

The group behind the No Kings rallies today deliberately scheduled NOTHING in DC. They didn't want to draw any additional attention toward the birthday boy's present to himself.

If anything eventful takes place during the Vanity 3/4-Mile March, it will have been staged by Trump's goons. Stay smart!

I wish I had seen this post earlier. I really could have used that really good, cheek-hurting, stomach-busting laughter. Apart from being silly, it would also still be a solid improvement. Imagine going to the laser show at night for an Outkast show, but without them live! (Do they still do that?)

I am fully expecting in the very near future that -if we want to travel across US state lines- we will *ALL* be subject to being stopped and searched in violation of the soon-to-be ex-4th Amendment. Get used to Cold War-era "Checkpoint Charlies" and the phrase "Papers, please!" in all of our lives.

I approve all these corrections, as they are FAR more accurate than the original message. However... I'll be the "grammar Elon" and point out that they forgot to add an "s" to the word "win" after switching from "I" to "Kamala."

Well, the dove is commonly known as the "bird of peace," so... how "peaceful" are you feeling today? 😁
March 19, 2025 at 8:55 PM
This may be the single greatest thing I've seen today. AND IT'S ONLY STILL MORNING (where I am anyway).

Come on, Interwebs, do your thing today! Make more great things to laugh about! We need humor if we're going to survive this dystopian hellscape. 😁👍

And yes. Yes, he is the same asshat who openly implied that he believes child labor laws are overrated and that kids as young as 12 should be "free" to work in the fields picking strawberries like he did as a kid. Because kids should be forced into labor as early as possible, according to Rs.

I wish I had known about it so I could have attended and had my own voice added to the rest. That asshat is my congressional representative ever since I got gerrymandered out of District 6 by my "wonderful" State Republican Party majority.

There are already reports of a measles outbreak in Texas. Let's see what he chooses to do about it now that he's been inexplicably confirmed.
February 16, 2025 at 7:21 PM
And none of his cult will understand why, but there are a great many of us who know all about it. 😁👍

I "overstand" this reaction (for when understanding doesn't convey enough support), but please be sure to check in periodically. We cannot resist what we don't know is happening.
February 10, 2025 at 8:08 PM
Hmmm. Going to jail... for WHAT specifically?

Please come back to reality. Biden wasn't in office in 2020, which is the year we are discussing.
November 22, 2024 at 3:25 PM
That must be one of those "alternative facts" that y'all love so much.

STATE GOVERNORS did, just as they closed things down when *recommended* to do so. Some then reopened too soon, much to the detriment of their state populations.
