Democrats were a shoo-in to hold on to the House and Senate until progressives messed things up. Or so the fossils leading the party will maintain. Wait for it.

When the Democrats lose the House and Senate, they’ll know exactly who to blame.

RufusTFirefly replied to the topic Why have historians treated the assassination of JFK as if it occurred in a vacuum? in the forum General Discussion 8 months ago
By the way, in case it comes up, although Dog knows I’m no defender of Prescott Bush, there’s a common misunderstanding that he was involved in the Business Plot. He wasn’t. But that wasn’t mean he was a good guy. Jonathan Katz, author of “Gangsters of Capitalism” does a good job of explaining the confusion.
JONATHAN KATZ: So, there’s actually a…

Supposedly one of the reasons that the industrialists behind the Business Plot approached Butler is because he “managed down.” His troops were extremely loyal to him, and the plotters felt he’d be able to organize an American equivalent of the French Croix-de-Feu. To some degree, it already existed in the American Legion, which masqueraded as a…[Read more]

Although I realize that neither war nor climate change is a laughing matter, I was nonetheless being facetious.
That said, I’m sure there are some “rational” people who see a nuclear war as an elegant solution.
President Merkin Muffley: You’re talking about mass murder, General, not war!
General “Buck” Turgidson: Mr. President, I’m not saying…[Read more]

Up until now, no one seems to be able to come up with a workable solution to the existential threat of climate chaos. I think World War III just might do the trick. Voila!

It’s hard not to see this as blowback from more than 150 years of violence and militarism abroad. Our culture receives the message loud and clear: if you want to solve problems and get what you want, use violence. Peace and diplomacy are for wimps.

RufusTFirefly replied to the topic Why can some JPR subject lines be longer than 40 characters and spaces in the forum General Discussion 11 months ago
If the JPR folks have defined the character length of the subject heading, that length should be consistent.
Depending on the database, sometimes a non-standard character (or even certain character sets) can trigger weird output, including truncated output.
In other cases, the use of ampersand can be mistakenly interpreted as the beginning of a…[Read more]

RufusTFirefly replied to the topic Today's boggling Bidenism: America as a nation can be defined as the foothills of the Himalayas ??!! in the forum Latest Breaking News 11 months ago
Listen, I’m definitely no fan of Biden, but he said the single word that could define America was “possibilities.”
I think people do the legitimate criticism of Biden a disservice by distorting what he says.
Rest assured, he’s perfectly capable of doing his on garbling and has done so for years. (Remember the bizarre anecdote about Corn Pop and…[Read more]

But don’t let that fact halt the mindless outrage juggernaut.
A Russian journalist said this!!
I am definitely not a Rachel Maddow defender in any way shape or form, but I’m sure in this “you’re either with ’em or against ’em” world, I’ll be accused of being one.

Ralph Nader and Constitutional scholar Bruce Fein (once a member of the Reagan Administration) were able to come up with a list of 13 impeachable offenses committed by Donald Trump. (Click here for the list)
Yet, when the House Judiciary drew up articles of impeachment, they focused on just one and portrayed the demonstrably corrupt and wholly…[Read more]

She had asthma and allergies, but she was by no means sickly. She would be alive today if it weren’t for COVID.
