Ooookkkkk, Susan, let’s get you back to bed!

But cantaloupe are only orange on the inside. tRump is, as far as we know, only orange on the outside.

That shit died, or suffered a major blow under Reagan. It’s only been downhill since. I’m old enough to remember the yearly increases to the federal minimum wage before they stopped all that at like $7.25. I think my first job paid $6.40. Every time this dude is on TV he’s grinning like some doofus or laughing too hard from the lukewarm farts leaking from trump’s mouth.

I just hope one day we can replace austerity with taxes on the rich. Also, I had the same thought voting for Pritzker, the first time.

Oh, the choice is a shitty republican that sucks or a billionaire. Yippy!

I was so glad my defeatism and low expectations turned out to be wrong.

Our property taxes suck ass in IL. My house and property looks worse or doesn’t change year after year, yet my taxes never seem to somehow increase YOU. Gonna keep saying it, but for being wealthy, I didn’t have high hopes for Pritzker, but he’s been great!

Our leaders have a history of letting them live to stop the killing. They did the same thing after WWII. Thanks to nuclear bomb wet dreams, many of those nazi’s ended up in high positions within the govt., eventually.

We won’t make the same mistake this time.

I lost all interest in the entire series when they were chasing the fleet and shooting lasers in an arch…to combat wind resistance in space, I guess. Oh man, I laughed (unintentionally) when I saw that. I almost walked out of the theater.

Oh shit, good point. People were worried about this very thing when they did that. This country is so fucked…

Ombi for media requests.

Decent aim with a paintball gun will take some of that surveillance out for a time.

My earballs!

Luigi could jump the highest of all the playable characters in Super Mario Bros 2. He was always my go-to character for this reason. Those egg flinging dinosaur fucks be damned!

Jack Black would be very cross with you if he was here

Im dying on it either way.

To a self-driving car, no less!

We need to follow David’s advice about primary-ing corporate Democrat incumbents that won’t do anything except fight progressives and their candidates. Notice how that proposal got the Democrats to perk up and denounce that idea immediately? They literally prove, everyday, why they are unfit to represent anyone but themselves and their monied masters.

Chuck giving up leverage and other Democrats voting for tRump cabinet picks are all reps that need to go. Resign or we will make you resign! That’s if we have free and hair elections again.

being smart is definitively not a prerequisite to be a billionaire

Bingo! They just need to be ruthless narcissists with no empathy and money to continue buying their self-worth.

These inexperienced tech bros are not writing regs and laws, though. They’re using generative AI to identify existing programs to gut. You are talking about legislative changes to keep up with the times and that’s not what they are doing here, to the detriment of the whole country.

Exactly! However, to little too late his ravenous base will already have been spoon-fed their next scapegoat. In the words of Gandalf the Grey, “hold on to your butts.”

You didn’t highlight the best part of that interview, and something other journalists should start doing, he handed tRump his own ass and never looked or sounded flustered or worried about the results of the interview. He asked hard questions, even some that sounded dumbed down to help tRump’s feeble brain understand.

The best part was shortly after this quote, I think, where tRump said how something might not happen, like completing the rest of the interview, and the dude straight said, “we will.” The look on tRump’s face was like a parent hearing their kid tell them “no” for the first time. But he didn’t say anything more. It was a glorious example of how to deal with a bully.

tRump can’t handle direct confrontation to his actions. He gets pissed and, if he can, tries to leave the scene or, like this interview and the debate with Harris, he’s stuck and has to do the whole thing or look like a baby. It’s why his only push back is digital or when the other party can’t rebuke him. He’s a coward who, like most conservatives, can dish it out but can’t take it. He relies on his base to do the tough guy stuff and uses his platform to rile them up.

Blame Reagan (iirc) for nixing the Fairness Doctrine, which required news to be provided daily, as close to truth as possible, on public broadcast. Reagan really was the shit smear that started this poop bobsled off.
