I think the Rockies odds of having a winning season are between “struck by lightning” and “winning an Olympic gold medal”.

I would rather see J.D. Vance assume presidential under the 25th Amendment due to an incapacitating injury to Trump that leaves Donny aware of his surroundings. Then we can watch as Trump is mocked for his frailty.

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

My heart sank today. I discovered a highly educated colleague genuinely believes Trump and the GOP are good for our country. We have a friendship that is nearly 20 years old. My despair was so sudden and deep that I was rendered speechless. I felt progressive liberalism has truly been defeated.
