Along with most of Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, I expect Canada (and maybe Mexico) will be joining the nuclear club.

Ok. I saw it broadcast live when it happened, but you made me go play that performance again. Watching her eyes. How hard it was for her to go out as an unknown with just her acoustic guitar. You can see her confidence grow with each line.

1988 Wembley Stadium. I remember when she walked out on stage and sang in place of Stevie Wonder. Still one of the all time greats.

That Trump knows everyone who interacts with him considers him an idiot and laughs behind his back is a major source of solace for a lot of us.

As the US is finding out, wiping off the stain of an authoritarian mindset can take more than a century.

But she had a funny laugh, so we had no choice but to go with fascism.

It's hard not to read the complaints about Trump voters getting fired as part of Elon's purge without a sense of satisfaction. It's not because something horrible happened to them (it did, and I'm sorry about it) but because, without fail, they're upset that it shouldn't have happened to a MAGA.

The ones that should be worried won't understand the difference.

If you have the means and you're not at least looking, then you haven't been paying attention.

I'm not sure. What I find disappointing is that, grading on history's curve, things are good for most people and the West in particular. We are more peaceful and prosperous. Technology improves lives. But greed never sleeps. A few will always take what everyone else has and thereby bring us to ruin.

There are a lot of white men who would gleefully trade democracy for autocracy if it meant they could be in unquestioned charge again, with women and minorities back in their subservient roles.

You put beer and wine ahead of whisky on a list? Are you even allowed to do that in Scotland?

At this point, The Onion may as well just give up satire. If anything, this is probably an understatement.

Can I just say “good”? Every day on the golf course is a day he isn’t taking a wrecking ball to everything that has made America great and the world safe for the last 80 years.

Essential reading. JVL lays it out. The American people are to blame.

It wasn’t stupidity. It wasn’t an accident. They just got caught.

I hated the prequels, but this was possibly the best sequence of the entire Star Wars saga. It applies today.

You know they have no intention of giving that money back, regardless of what the law says. They're breaking the law to fire these people in the first place. First steal their livelihood, then steal their savings. In for a penny, in for a pound....

If they can be ignored without consequences, then those 'protections' don't exist. When they make these firings stick, which they intend, even if they have to defy court orders to do it, they'll redefine everyone's position so that they can be fired at will. This is absolutely coming.

Absolutely. He views himself as the übermensch, a transformative genius destined to remake the world, while the rest of the human race are mere cogs in the implementation of his vision. He'll replace us all with AI and let us starve.

He intends the Andrew Jackson response to the courts, as if he were 1% of the (admittedly horrible) man Jackson was.

Where are they? To quote Gene Wilder. "You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."

It amazes me how the GOP doesn't get that the system gaming that enables their de-facto minority rule is possible ONLY because everyone respects the rule of law. If they decide they no longer have to do it, then why should everyone else continue to put up with status quo? It won't end well for them.

It may also be good to remind certain AGs that downloading this info to private servers may be a state crime. In CA, for example (PEN 530.5), identity theft is punishable by up to 1 yr in prison/offense. In AZ it is a class 4 felony. In MI, it is punishable by up to 15 yrs for 3 or more offenses!
