As a Game Stop consumer, I’ve been told by a staff manager that the pandemic has been a boon to Game Stop’s sales.

Folks unwilling to spend their money in other establishments and desireing entertainment which keeps them at home are spending their money on video games, remotes, and game playing devices.

“If you are stuck at home, why not play a…[Read more]

Every voter I have spoken with agrees that our government is broken.

Mostly folks tend to blame the “other team” for our government being broken.

When prompted (by me), they all seem to agree that there is little that our government can do to address the needs of the citizenry until both “sides” can come together.

When further prompted, (by me…[Read more]

Condolences to his family, friends and fans, of which I am one of the latter.

My first memories of Larry King were from a small handheld radio I carried around at work.

My job, likely in the late 1970s was as a security guard at Hanford’s ill fated WPPS sites.

Larry’s voice kept me awake, informed and entertained while I made my rounds.

I…[Read more]

The “Queen Maker”.
It is already written and set for release the day after President Biden, (for whatever reason but I’m bettin’ that those rascally Ruskies play a part), is removed from office.

Would not have even known about it but for this thread.

I liked her version enough to add a thumbs up to this OP.

Other than that, I did not watch Trump’s departure nor Biden’s entrance.

I stand by my claim: they can stick their damned needles sideways up their own arses before anyone injects me with any of their improperly tested witch-brews or potions.

My heart goes out to this suffering person.

Good.

Not that too many Dem supporters will take the contents seeiously but maybe a few will.

Maybe a few, both Democrat and Republican supporters will stop in, read what is contained there and go “Huh”.

My thinking is that at some point, our country needs the majority of the electorate to go “Huh”…

…and set aside their paltry differences…[Read more]

…Why do I always hear:

“No, we just do not have the money to help the citizenry right now because it will drive up the “Federal Deficit”…

but when the Republicans take power as it turns out,

…THEY are the biggest spenders who actually DO drive up that so called Federal Deficit!

They do this while at the same time cutting back on what…[Read more]

@mrmickiesmom
@jbnw

So now I know. Thank you both for that.

Well now, our Senate closing the door for future Trump runs on our Presidency becomes quite interesting.

@mrmickiesmon

Maybe I missed something listed under the requirements necessary for an individual to run for the office of POTUS that disqualifies ex-President Trump from running again.

IIRC, An earlier removal from office via impeachment is no hindrance to a future run.

Now, I am not sure about being convicted of a felony or treason.(-both down…[Read more]

I needed more info than what you provided.

I googled up Bezo Care and found this article from Japan Times.

It claims that Bezos is no longer in partnership with others in regard to a particular health care plan they were working on.

Does it mean that Bezos is going at it alone or that he has a better plan? I do not know.

All I do here is…[Read more]

I wanna be snarky and suggest that this guy got his PTSD from falling off of a turnip truck too often
But…

In all candor, we do not know the cause of this person’s PTSD.

Perhaps it was indeed Navy related: An overly abusive bunkmate, sexual trauma, maybe he actually fell off the ship.

PTSD is a serious issue, people do bad things because of…[Read more]

…has all three off the table.

Impeachment: regardless of what she may say here, Pelosi has a history of taking impeachment off the table.

Even if she does go down the impeachment path it will not be for the reasons her Dem supporters might expect.

Evenso, Nancy’s selected path will be a preselected impeachment loser.

Revenge: For what? Did…[Read more]

@incognito

Oh boy did your words hit a home run in my book.

A HUGE plus 1 from me.

…this guy on a t-shirt?

You know they are coming.

Expect them to have such nifty sayings like: “Vote to defund educashun.” or “Wanna hear me sifer gozinta?”*

(* “gozinta”, an oldish reference. Deciphered here for you youngins: 2 gozinta 4: 2 times, 2 gozinta 6: 3 times and etc. If you’ve access to YouTube, watch Jethro B. Clampett cipher…[Read more]

No, I would not bet my bottom dollar of Trump getting impeached before leaving office.

Jon Q Public randomly throwing peaches at him for the rest of his life might be fun…that is of one can get close enough to an ex-president to chuck a peach his direction.

Just adding my bit to the confusitorium.

I did not notice the option where the First Lady Melania admits that she has been in charge all along but promises to give up booze and barbiturates between now and the 20th so everyone chill out.

Follow me to the beer garden tents of S.E. Pierce Co. Washington.
You will find plenty of poor to middle class folks here.

You will find plenty of opinions and conspiracy theories here.

What you will hardly find here are so called “lib-er-als”.

You should see their eyes go round, their jaws drop when I tell them that I am a Progressive.

Regarding this term “fascism”

I find myself struggling with the differences between fascism and corporatocracy.

One is a government openly run by representatives from a country’s major industries. (see Giovanni Gentile, ((Benito Mussolini’s chief economic advisor)) and fascism in Italy)

The other is a government that is somewhat…[Read more]
