While I imagine many people, including myself, would prefer that there not be war the reality is that strongmen like Putin have always, and probably...

It’s weird how multiple high profile republicans, from Mike Pence to John Sununu to Kevin McCarthy all spoke out against the rule of law this...

If the present legal situation is tenuous then I expect that trump’s lawyers will prevail. But I doubt that the DA would be bringing a case if he...

And by the way, thank you Alan for sharing your legal expert opinion about charges that haven’t yet been announced. I assume you have an inside...

It’s also usually the case that only in banana republics do presidents who lose the election attempt a coup. Maybe we’re closer to having our...

Alan isn't against holding him accountable. He just thinks that none of the attempts to hold him accountable have been the appropriate action at the...

I would be surprised by a doc that didn’t at least check lipids and a1c annually. I just had my annual wellness visit Friday and on top of those he...

I wonder if all the journalists who, during his failed presidency, opined that perhaps he'd finally started on the path towards "acting presidential"...

Not to worry. They are being bailed out.

If the only sex ed they've been taught is the foolishness of "abstinence only" they may well not know how to not get pregnant.

Indeed.

Why wouldn't she? He's only slightly younger than she was when she had him.

Yes. The Limelight Club in NYC was in an old Episcopal church. It was quite an impressive space. The giant sanctuary, with the really tall...

Joel Salatin would like to be able to process his own beef. https://a.co/d/ir01JxM

That it was peaceful tourists who first had covid?

So you don't appreciate the republican desire to romanticize the lifestyle of Oliver Twist? Personally I'm looking forward to the rollback of food...

Absolutely. And elementary school music concerts tend to be unintentionally humorous for the audience! My parents loved coming to those. Junior...

True, but we'd probably stop more sexual abuse by attempting to address those other problems than we will by hating on drag queen story hour and...

Who exactly gets to decide what drag queens’ lane is? If enough parents want to take their kids to drag queen events then it would seem that daytime...

There are currently 38 AP courses. You'd have to hire a whole lot of subject experts to put a program comparably broad together, and then hire a...

Maybe republican legislatures should be attacking beauty pageants with the same zeal that they are attacking drag queens and the LGBTQ community. At...

We should probably do away with cheerleading and with teen beauty pageants if we want to stop adults leering at children. In all honesty though I...

Because the cost of entry is remarkably high. And currently everyone except Ron desantis thinks the company currently providing the service is doing...

It is definitely interesting since it highlights how dramatically the republican party has changed over time. 1980's republicans: The most...

We had a store made roast chicken the other night. Used some of the leftovers yesterday for chicken quesadillas. Today I'll make the rest into...

I'm intrigued that the freedom loving, parental rights, small government party has turned into the micromanage everyone's personal lives party. I...

I read stories almost every week about ministers or preachers or priests molesting children. I’ve never read one about a drag queen doing that. I...

I wonder what sort of performance Tennessee Governor Lee did back when he did drag?

This reminds me of the time I had a friend keep my cat for a week while I was out of town many years ago. She's a HUGE fan of essential oils and...

LDAHL, Which of the current republican party priorities are you such a fan of?

Now that we’re out of covid times has the Republican Party put together a platform? Or are they sticking with the nonplatform they’ve been working...

Other than that and senseless investigations into non-issues what exactly do the republicans want to do. Watching them do their performative skits in...

Yes. Own the libs does seem to be the defining aspect of the Republican agenda anymore. Thankfully a majority of Americans don’t seem particularly...

I dunno. He seems pretty invested in the whole "shutdown speech I don't approve" aspect of his persona. It will be interesting to see if he only...

So if this does become law will you actually express displeasure over it, or will you treat it with the same dismissiveness you do for all the more...

The telling thing about the sad sack assholes in Florida is that they excluded newspapers from their pathetic law. It doesn’t take a genius to...

Given the authoritarian direction of republicans in florida it won't be particularly surprising if this becomes law. Just as it's no surprise that...

Until a few years ago I would've assumed that most of us would've included "politicians that don't participate in an attempt to overthrow the...

And then there's florida republicans, trying to ramp the hate on free speech up to an eleven. ...

Thanks for confirming once again that you are happy to vote for an asshat that participated in an attempt led by your party's president to overthrow...

I'm not up on Chicago politics, but based on what you're saying it sounds like she's a MAGA republican in a black lady's clothing?

Homemade Mac and cheese tonight. Completely unhealthy since a 2 serving meal of it has 8 ounces of cheese and a cup of heavy cream but the sauce is...

Yes, I've come across a few of those fillable PDF files that can't be saved. Thankfully none were documents that I needed to use more than once or...

You may well be right. I'm not going to go to the trouble of digging up news articles about this. Since you didn't bother sharing any I'll trust...

Ok, lets go a little older than what I started this thread with. When I was six my mom bought my grandmother's old Zenith record player at the...

And don't get me started on the absurdity that when I have a new direct report start there are multiple documents related to that event. I have to...

I will likely never be a member of a garden club but THANK YOU. The world needs more people like you to take on this task. Even today I routinely...

So sorry to hear about Ogden. It sounds like he certainly had a great life. And as hard as I know it was for you I'm sure he's also glad that you...

Only one polyp this time, compared to five last time. Hopefully pathology will say it’s not a concern.

All I feel is a desire to make a big breakfast and go back to bed.

Well, I can verify that I'm all clean inside and out at the moment. Hopefully the doc won't find any unpleasant surprises today. Oh, and since I...

I can remember a proctologist related video I saw on a porn site one time. It was about a 20-something gay man who had figured out that he liked...

I don’t remember the details but when SO did his a year ago it was a more complicated prep. He had two or theree different things he had to do. Maybe...

From what I've read the Obama era rule that trump rescinded wasn't broad enough to apply to the train in East Palestine. The rule for improved...

I have to admit that the whiplash of republicans suddenly embracing regulation is jarring. It seems like just the other day when trump was...

Yup. After countless trips there as a kid and teenager that's pretty much my impression of western Kansas. Just pave the road, move the fences a...

Oddly this reminds me of a work call I was on today. Coworker was talking about having a pot bellied pig and that the running joke was always that...

Do you also believe that justice rapey mcbeer did what he was accused of in public testimony or is it only democrats whose rapiness you are certain...
