I have a hard enough time visualizing an acre.

I know we have about a thousand too many of the things, but that’s about it.

I’m sure we will hear about all-important committee assignments and the Supreme Court as a reason to support her in 2024, though.

If everyone benefits from tax dollars, fewer complain about it. But this isn’t what we see. No, we see “red” states taking in more federal dollars than they contribute as opposed to “blue” states contributing more, and Blue Team cheerleaders get to feel righteous by bashing hypocritical, selfish, greedy red-staters.

This is an old divisive tactic…[Read more]

Who knew what would happen back then? I thought it was a great idea at first, too.

Yet they believe in it like Roman Catholics used to believe that the bread and wine consumed at Holy Communion was magically transformed into the real flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. Usually while despising religious people in general as being stupid morons.

The irony is worthy of a Mark Twain story or two.

It didn’t hurt that we had regulated media with a fairness doctrine that actually distributed the work of real journalists to everybody. Now, the same people who once mistrusted the FBI after J. Edgar Hoover’s Fascist policies treat everything it says now as unquestionable fact.

If you don’t believe me, just go to SV.  Yet they think they’re so…[Read more]

Reagan wasn’t setting policy. Different factions in the White House and the Republican-leaning oligarchy made the real decisions in a chaotic, dangerous way. And sometimes Reagan himself would almost trigger a nuclear war. Remember “the missiles are on their way” which sent the Soviet Union into a full alert? Motherfuckin’ Reagan scared the shit…[Read more]

And he charged a pretty high fee for his and his wife’s services to the kleptocracy. They’re millionaires many times over now.

It really doesn’t matter to me how sincere the Clintons were in their younger days about fulfilling the long term goals of the New Deal and Great Society, all that matters is what they did, and continue to do.

I also…[Read more]

It’ll work, too. There are too many Democratic cultists in this city.

That is a big problem that is never brought up, much less addressed. It is also a reason why many workers won’t get vaccinated, because they literally can’t afford to take a day or two off without pay if they get a little sick from it, like I did.

But I had sick time.

Omar should introduce an Article of Impeachment right now, and Sanders should endorse it. Anything less than that is bullshit and just more celebrity politician posturing.

No mention of actually spending some money to house these people. How are Canadians any better than say, Los Angeles, in that regard?

This Congress, and this President, will do nothing unless some corporate donor is going to make a mint off of it or if they are literally in fear for their lives from an outraged populace.

Look at the Frito-Lay strike in Topeka. A union approved of the suicide shifts in the previous contract. WTF? I speak as a union member. If our next contract is as shitty as the last one, I will exercise my rights under Citizens United and stop paying union dues. Why should I, when they don’t deliver much of anything, and then donate my dues to…[Read more]

There are so many people who are unreachable by phone, be it cellphone or land line, simply because most people won’t answer a call from a strange number anymore. And even if it’s accurate, our government has lied to so many so often that it is apparent all elected officials should be required to recite the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf in…[Read more]

9 miles a gallon! Wow, and I thought my old V-8 350 Pontiac LeMans sedan was a gas guzzler at 13 mpg.
