I hope she doesn't drop out because if she did the Republicans might come up with a better candidate.

Good point- we should talk about Trump's TITs (Trump Import Taxes) on social media. Eeeeeewww... never mind- can't get the image out of my head now.

I am not given to celebrating the pain or loss of another person. However, in this case, I am willing to make an exception. In fact, I will buy a bottle of fine champagne, (or crรฉmant if you are exacting) and save it for the particular occasion that a certain someone finally leaves the scene.

I wish Newsom would challenge Trump to an impartially administered cognitive test- both get the same comprehensive test, and all results are made public.

Newsom has found a voice the Democratic party and its "leaders" have not been able to provide. The press needs to hold Republicans' feet to the fire- stop crime in the highest murder locations first if you're serious- those largely in red states. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlmG...

Fair enough. Certainly not the first startup to be saved by a Hail Mary deal. In any case, they delivered and Boeing still has not been a reliable transport. NASA contractors, military contractors, basically every company that the government contracts with is a US suckling. No argument from me.

You can be empathetic and still hold to meaningful boundaries, without condoning the actions of the recipient. Imagine, a high-schooler speeds, runs off the road, destroys a car and is injured. I can have empathy for them and their plight but certainly wouldn't condone their actions.
CuriousCaine (@curiouscaine.bsky.social) reply parent
CuriousCaine (@curiouscaine.bsky.social) reply parent
That's not my understanding, but I certainly don't know everything. They competed against Boeing and others to win contracts. Boeing has failed to provide "shuttle service" to the ISS, for example, missed deadlines, whereas SpaceX has succeeded. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

NASA has pioneered many technologies over the years that were released to the public domain. Your tax dollars funded it, why should an individual contractor be the only one who benefits? Made public domain means everyone can leverage the discovery. One example: www.nasa.gov/news-release...

Of course- you are 1000% right- we all need to work together. My comment is only to say that Leader Jeffries doesn't inspire me the way Crockett does.

I hears a clip today of the chairman of the Democratoc party saying this is the time for action, not just words. Funny, the DNC has done NOTHING that matters. Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crocket, Bernie Sanders, Marc Elias and AOC, on the other hand, are kicking ass.

Absolutely. Or AOC. Both of them have the speaking skills that Jeffries lacks- being direct, calling it what it is. Crocket would probably be my preference too.

I spent $350 out of pocket for a CT scan to get a "calcium score"- an actual assessment of plaque accumulation. It gives you a shot at diagnosing a problem before it's a problem. (Insurance probably won't cover the cost because it's a preventative step).
