Ain't it the truth?

A for sure!

They long ago lost any sense of shame they might have had.

It's a republic, if we can keep it.

So does this guy have some special knowledge of firefighting that informs his opinion? Oh, wait. He's the leader of the free world (soon)! So, of course, like Superman and Batman, he knows lots that we mere mortals just don't know!

I like Norway. It's not one of those shithole countries, after all. They also have the 2nd largest Sovereign Wealth Fund, bested by only that of Saudi Arabia. When the US economy collapsed in 2008, Norway showed up and bought a boatload of US stocks at bargain basement prices. . .

Gee! What happened in 1980 that set this trend in motion? And how successful have subsequent Democratic administrations in reversing this trend? www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collec...

Right. Trump said his admin. would support the NOLA Police. Just like he supported the Capitol Police on 1/6/2021. It's more winning! Anyone sick of the winning yet?

Trump administration will support police? Just like they did the Capitol Police on 1/6/2021? Seems good!

This is a reflection of George Carlin's "Ever notice how the people who are the most interested in telling you about their religion are the least interested in hearing about yours?"

Yeah really. What's in it for them?

Why not let kids explore what is of interest to them, and then, after a deep dive, choose for themselves what they want to pursue?

Sleazy.

And Orange Cheeto says he'll pardon those convicted as quick as he can. So much for the rule of law, eh?

Well, after an assassination in downtown Manhattan of a health insurance CEO, I didn't hear an outcry for gun legislation. Did you? . . . Hmm.

Right, they were just tourists.

I support a ban on any gun, rifle, or pistol that fires a round with each pull of the trigger. I think these are called semi-automatic weapons. These weapons eject the shell automatically and are not available for civilian use in many countries around the world.

Can we please post this with the Commandments? “If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him..."

Citizen 1: Trump was sent by God. Citizen 2: Why? Did He run out of locusts?

www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/o... From the column above: "According to 2024 exit polls, he won white evangelicals by 65 points and lost everyone else by 18 points." 'Holy Fundamentalist, Batman! Lookit that split: Christians love Trump and the rest of the country has a better idea.'

Gee. I wonder which way the winds will blow in the coming Congress? s/

Wasn't he "the runner" on 1/6/2021?

We'd be better off if we could take on a touch of humility: maybe just being a nation among nations. We *still* have the world's preferred reserve currency & the most technology-dependent military. . . the biggest economy. But our edge in innovation is slipping due to poor education and off-shoring.

So this post is from the Einsteins at DOGE? A news reporter, long time ago, told me that if foreign aid & foreign *military* aid is lumped together, Israel gets 1/2 of all US foreign aid, much of it subsidized Israeli purchases from the Military-Industrial Complex. Do these figures still hold?

Foreign aid is 1% of the US budget.

How about the non-corrupt Democrats? What should they do?

"He?" Biden? Trump? And what does "your party has to suck" have to do with "He literally overdosed"? Also, not a landslide when the swing states were lost by what, 1%, 2%, 3% or so. One of the two parties had to lose in a two-party system. That's life. (Compare that response to January 6, 2021.)

Landslide? The narrowest House majority in history. In the POTUS election, the 7 swing states lost by the Dems by less than 3 percentage points. Hm. Yes, a decisive win but hardly a landslide.

Wasn't she connected (married?) to a top dog at the NYStock Exchange? And didn't she get some insider trading info about the coming pandemic such that she went and bought Zoom stock? Hmm. Of course, this is by Trump standards, low-level corruption, so full speed ahead, right?

I support George Floyd. He's not running for office. He didn't deserve to die for passing a counterfeit 20-dollar bill. His murderer thought he was cop, judge, jury, and executioner. America is supposed to be a place where due process matters. We're supposed to have, uh, rights. It's Constitutional.

How the mighty have fallen. www.comicsands.com/rosenberg-ru...

in 2004, the biggest political donor in New Jersey was convicted of witness intimidation in his trial. That same person is the incoming administration's nominee for, uh, Ambassador to France, and is also Ivanka Trump's father-in-law. All in the nepotism, uh, family. www.nytimes.com/2004/08/19/n...

This will end well! www.epi.org/productivity...

Yea, this. Second in line for the presidency...
