No kidding…my dad treated the first HIV cases in our county in NC. It was a dark time in a lot of ways.

I strength train for myself, honestly. If that affects my attractiveness at all, it’s bc it helps me be more comfortable in my own skin.

David Frum said something to the effect that effective autocrats like Orban, Putin, Erdogan et al took more powers while their economies were strong. Trump really messed up that way w/ tariffs. But that assumes rational thought I guess.

Mr. Trad Cath forgot the thing about bearing false witness. They should amend the 10 Commandments to say “…unless you’re a Republican.”

On of my friends once made a special trip to piss on Calhoun’s grave. Wouldn’t be surprised if some folks do the same to Mitch.

Reminds me of the adage that a liberal is someone who’s afraid to take their own side in an argument. Adams is a crook and his ability to lead to city is fatally compromised. He needs to be gone yesterday.

Glad to see the Musk hate is non-partisan there. I liked Freeland’s idea of tariffing the bejesus out of Tesla, too.

My grandfather was a diehard FDR guy and would probably smack me upside the head for saying this, but Hoover gets a bad rap. He did great humanitarian work in WWI.

I used to hate-read Dreher’s blog but it got to be tired and repetitive. It says something about the man that he’s managed to alienate just about all of his immediate family.

I stuck around until some mook said a few days ago that he hoped “Trump would throw me out on the street where I belonged.” Deleted my account right there. One of the great things about being an adult vs middle school is that you don’t have to hang out with sociopaths if you don’t want to.

Why yes, I have been researching this. Why on Earth would you ask?
