Have you listened to Eric Edelman and Elliot Cohen? They’re part of Bulwark, but I find them a bit more to the right of Bill Kristol and David French.

No, no no! It’s 3 tries to get into the end zone and if that fails, a kick from the 20!

My then girlfriend (now wife of 47 years) worked at Friendly’s as a teen, and while her boss was pretty strict about portion control, she did manage quite a bit of extra hot fudge in my sundaes when I paid visits. That’s how I knew she was a keeper!

I too noticed the only mention of antisemitism from this regime is when they want to swing a cudgel at higher education.

The ONE time my company paid for my business class seat on a transatlantic flight, it was a reclining seat where the seat next to mine was turned in the opposite direction, so the feet of the guy next to me were about 18 inches from my face. He too, removed his shoes and ruined the whole experience.

It was when someone told Stephen Miller that gas chambers might not be one of his best ideas.

Wished I lived in the area, so I could be (I’m in Los Angeles) but also, I was out protesting and noticed the vast majority of folks who were there with me were over 60, so that could explain some of it too. (We need a recovery day). I did see a lot of signs at my rally in support of Ukraine though!

Pay for what? Police? Porta-Potties? Signage? I saw exactly one police cruiser, no Porta-Potties, and only thousands of unique hand made signs. The protest I attended in Pasadena was estimated by the media to draw hundreds. Instead there were many thousands protesting with me!

Does this dipshit realize she’s violating the rules of the Geneva Convention which prohibits posing with prisoners?
Of course not, she’s too busy fixing her hair and makeup. Poser.

Darn good argument for any Democrat choosing to run against an incumbent Republican: “They’ve shown us they don’t really want to do the work of representing us, so vote for someone like me who will!”

“…probably my last…”? I hope so too. Maybe he got some news from his cardiologist?

Mark, you’re closer (physically) to him than I am. Please tell Chuck Schumer that THIS life long Democrat is DONE with him. If he can’t fight he needs to go home and let younger folks take his seat!🤬

All the pawns are missing. Oh, I forgot: he must have eaten them. “Those are Pawns, sir, not prawns!”

Imagine that! I guess being responsible for the health of all Americans is a little more complicated that going on TV to shill for rich conspiracy theorists.

I have a relative working at US Fish and Wildlife. Can confirm that similar actions regarding office space leases have taken place at their sites around the country.

Fareed Zakaria offered an insight in an interview with Ezra Klein: that Trump sees countries as rich and powerful or poor and subservient. In his mind only Russia, China, and the U.S. are the real powers and should dominate all others. A real 19th century viewpoint that explains a lot.

I thought the same today… then I remembered I’m 69 and have a pacemaker. Dammit!

Several of us protested an MD getting an honorary degree at my undergraduate graduation by standing and turning our backs on her during that part of the ceremony. (She was very vocal about her anti-abortion stance.)

I don’t think so either. Try booking a trip on Uber in advance for someone else. Google AI insists it can be done, and shows instructions for each task. But the Uber app does not allow you to do both for the same trip.

It’s the vest and the close cropped hair. He needs a little flannel (preferably blue plaid) and a bit more of a shaggy hairdo!🤣

Just reading this gave me that feeling. Kinda like butterflies down low in my stomach? I remember that physically and mentally.
