Epiphany! Nationalist christians measure their success by the misery of others, and gauge their self-worth by how many of the 10 Commandments they've violated. Or so it seems.

Again, NW Oregon is where I belong. It helps that both Wyden and Merkley are stand-up guys. How did yours do? www.lcv.org/congressiona...

I just don't understand. The headline reads "Justice Department fires 20 immigration judges from backlogged courts amid major government cuts" There's a backlog, and they're firing the people and process that would clear it? Evil? Probably. Stupid? Blatantly.

In a new plan to cut the federal workforce - in this instance the State Department's workers. The solution to all this diplomatic work? Stick `em in the deadliest vehicles in the market! Never mind the sweet, sweet profit! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u... www.roadandtrack.com/news/a629191...

I don't especially enjoy correcting people, but on this, I must. People have been mispronouncing Elon and Trump's goon squad "doh-gh". It's actually pronounced 'dah-dg" as in dodging honesty and accountability. Your welcome.

Call volumes are high! But there's still voicemail and email. I called my senators Merkley and Wyden's local offices and left the message that I appreciate and support their efforts to protect and preserve America and the U.S. Constitution. Please consider doing the same (with your senators).

My email to Rep. Bynum: Very disappointed in your vote to persecute immigrants via the Laken Riley Act. In Clackamas County we finally shed the Nazi from the county commission. Please, please correct yourself before bending further at the knee. I voted FOR you. I sincerely hope to do so again.

This is reminiscent of a detail in the space race of the 60s. Apparently one of the required duties of the astronauts is to write down things. The U.S. spent millions to develop a pen that would write in zero gravity. U.S.S.R. cosmonauts used pencils . . .

What confusion? Remember Cadet Bonespurs? The very same slimeball who said that avoiding STDs was his personal Vietnam. Never mind the gross, calculated disrespect of John McCain. The morale of the ever-so-corrupt MAGAts is what he stokes.

When the covid rose up and became obvious, a friend commented many people wouldn't take it seriously until they'd have to step over the bodies. Still true in the social and political arenas. The stove is hot, but no matter the warning it's going to touch all of us. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u...

Last go-round with the barking yam, I had relatives in the Midwest convinced that Portland was a smoking hellscape (and that suppositories would cure Covid). Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more www.kgw.com/article/news...

I rarely interrupt my morning routine. This morning, though, oh boy. Half way through reading about the MAGAt inaguration I had to stop. Had to. I went to www.aclu.org and donated. Granted, a paltry sum, but a drop of rain eventually joins the ocean. Please consider doing the same.

Apparently the MAGAt's first choice for Defense Secretary is too stupid to answer a "yes" or "no" question. Hmm. A) he's stupid, B) he's lying, C) A & B, or D) An example of moral rot

Very efficient victim-blaming. Good thing that the medical profession never calls for empathy. Get this man an enema, stat!

I do not see posts such as this often enough. Reagan was elected in 1980, and his de-regulation gave birth to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and provided the MAGAts with all the disinformation a republican could want. Reagan was a pox to this nation's future.

Yeah, but what about those employed by the gun industry: the machinists who create the parts, the workers assembling the weapons, those who manufacture accessories such as silencers, bandages, trauma kits, 1st responders, hospital ICU workers, cemetery workers. . .

I sincerely question this shmuck's ability to think. Mostly this and other such posts more indicate thought-less-ness.

A better virtue cannot be signaled on this. Interesting that he uses "Zuck" as a handle. Same number of letters as "sh*t-for-brains. OK, not the same, but gets the concept across.
