Only if we're a nation of human centipedes...

It's Bizarro irony that 47 is telling us to be satisfied with less & enjoy generation servitude to factory, extraction, & construction jobs, when it's been a rw trope for decades that D policies were a slippery slope Khmer Rouge-style forced agrarianism while R's would lead to infinite abundance.

This is beyond ass-kissing. This is like those male anglerfish that attach themselves to a female for the sole purpose of fertilizing her and then slowly dissolve into her body.

Saw this cartoon today, but I think he's got it wrong. The 2A types have gone from "We need assault weapons to protect against a tyrannical government" to "We need a tyrannical government to protect our assault weapons."

I suspect being in this Admin is like the joke where the atheist tells the believer their beliefs are the same; the atheist just believes in one fewer gods. Those inside the Admin look at the circus around them and see contemptible, fawning idiots. Those of us on the outside agree, but see one more.

Couple weeks ago, folks I know thought 47 would invoke the Insurrection Act today & declare martial law. They got me worried, but as we got closer, I should've remembered--these idiots, from 47 down, CANNOT KEEP A SECRET. They pathologically blab everything they're doing or planning, often publicly.

Fish propel themselves by moving from side-to-side. Amphibians and reptiles retained this, they have legs on the sides of their bodies. Mammals evolved legs under their bodies, which allowed new gaits like galloping, where the body moves up & down. Whales' ancestors retained this. Whales gallop.

Spending a week with my FoxNews watching dad. I told him that if he turned the sound on during any of the prime time opinion shows, I'd put a brick through his TV. So far, he's complied. But glancing at them with the sound off, reading the chyrons is like putting on the sunglasses in They Live...

I don’t think people realize how bad it’s going to get tomorrow when Wall Street finally collectively realizes that these people have no idea how economics work, and then it’s gonna be a scramble to not be the one left holding the bag.

I wonder if Hegseth also applies his "I can't see it so it doesn't exist" notions about germs to his belief in Geezus...

Say what you will about Dick Cheney, at least he was a proper villian.

You really have to wonder how the remaining careerists in our military and intelligence agencies are responding to the fact that, through their efforts to hide what they're doing from the American people, 47's freakshow of morons and losers has instead exposed it all to our adversaries.
