From here to burkas. I can just see the campaign now:

A Burka for every bitch! Pence/Mother Pence 2024 . . . .

cannot be a civilized solution to our problems!

Bob Marley said it best. “Every day the bucket goes to the well. One day, the bottom will drop out.”

It has nothing to do with the Weimar Republic. Everything to do with simple logic.

It is totally faith-based, meaning it will work so…

It is more like “castles in  the air.” It’s all a gigantic illusion. How do you think China and India suddenly became so prosperous? They discovered that they can print money, too.

Pretty soon, when the whole world does it because the US has gotten away with it for so long, then everything will entirely collapse unless we the people do something…[Read more]

It was Uranus that was recently discovered to have let out a giant gas ball (no pun intended).

like maybe 5 million US “ex-pat’s” living in Mexico because their social security check goes so much further there.

If they are all suddenly forced to return to the US amidst our housing crisis, they are in danger of ending up homeless.

And Suns of Beaches!

but I’m just about there.

If Bernie loses, I will completely give up on politics, not to mention hope.

I’m a pacifist, so I don’t believe in violent revolution.

I’m also a realist and I don’t think they’re going to be able to keep the dogs in much longer.

the Money really isn’t the issue for those at the top. For them, it’s the principle: a month of free rent is a slippery slope to all kinds of ponies, such as food, water, education, healthcare, environmental regulations . . . cats and dogs living together, you know, absolute Armageddon! The worst thing that could possibly happen to their pandemic…[Read more]

Some of them did open, but in less than a day they were told to close immediately. Apparently, someone from the general population tested positive again for Covid-19.

Republiscum: Government is inherently evil.

Elected Republiscum: SEE? I TOLD YOU! Government is inherently EVIL! MWAHAHAHA!

put the Lord, thy God, to the test.”

It’s in the Bible. Don’t know where. Don’t care. It didn’t make the Ten Commandments but I remember reading that exact sentence.

Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the test.

Because to do so is to lack the faith you pretend to have.

That is an impressive collection of books. I usually prefer reading a paper book, but maybe I’ll get used to reading online someday.

At any rate, this should keep me pretty busy, thanks for posting it.

The answer is, Yes, we who are on Social Security will also partake of the bounteous, $1200 communion (not the $600 that the Piglyscum tried to weasel us down to).

I found the answer buried in an article from the Washington Post. It also said that social security recipients would not have to file a tax return this year, in order to…[Read more]

I still haven’t read Capital in the 21st Century though I am impressed by the sheer number of professional reviews it has on Amazon–never seen so many people rush in to heap praises on a book.

I think my days of tackling economics texts are over but I applaud your effort and hope you will post your thoughts in the future when you have finished…[Read more]

This would make an epic screenplay idea; you should pitch it to Hollywood.

And of course, part of the Moon would break off and head for Earth . . . .

cannabis dispensaries to be an essential service, bless his (tiny) neoliberal heart. This was the right decision.

It really is medicine to many people, myself included. Given the choice between cannabis and my pharmaceutical anti-depressants, the weed wins any day.

It says those results were expected March 3rd, Super Tuesday, but they have still not updated the Democrats Abroad section as of now:
