Running a deficit is not necessarily a bad thing. Artificially preventing deficit spending is definitely a bad thing.
Will be supporting those who wish to see the United States regain its former stature.

I’m just appalled that education should even have a “for-profit” angle to it. Because when there’s a conflict between making money and educating people, guess which direction the decision will take?
Remove all cars.
Competing in the rings at the next pandalympics.
Back in the 1933-ish, capitalists thought they held a tight rein over Hitler as he started his ascendancy. After taking over as chancellor, Hitler promptly executed them. Who are these capitalists of today? I would say it’s Musk, Thiel, and their go-fer Vance.
To be fair, while it does use clean water, it’s just used as coolant, so it goes back into the environment pretty much clean (especially since it’s in vapor form).
For how many years straight?
Of course.
Lifetime imprisonment for those who attempt to skirt any of these rules.
It certainly ain’t rapiers.
Fuck yeah. Let’s roll!
She’s not a congresswoman. She’s a state senator.
Guns. Guns caused the school shooting. It wasn’t a mass stabbing with a rapier.
ALL churches.
Can’t have crime without criminals, right?
Wordle 1,530 3/6* ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 IYKYK. This could have gone really messy. I lucked out with my third guess.
There’s a whole mess of trash at 1600 Pennsylvania.
Well, there’s RFKJr…
It’s not even an issue of “deserving it”. It’s a safety and foreign policy issue. People coming from all over the world will result in some being deported to who-knows-where. And players from other countries will be “influenced” to lose so the USA (read: Trump) will look like a winner.
As an American, I completely agree. And the Olympics in 2028.
The GOP wanted to be conned. They were searching for some excuse.
So he’s a child-fill-eh?
Add a zero, and exchange the period for another comma.
Transportation is a necessary need. The optimal mode is public transport via buses, trolleys, light rail, or trains. Make it so, and make it free.
The Dead Dobson Decade! A decadent delightful celebration.
I'm surprised the whole of Africa and South America haven't done so. Or maybe they've already done so years ago.
ICE-IS.
@dawnpaints.bsky.social ok. Need to keep it off public platforms.
What’s needed is a good whisper campaign that there are rogue agents in his cabal. That someone or some people within the administration are there to harm his agenda. Just make the whisper and let him tear the White House apart looking for agents.
I think the days when we follow rules and decorum are over. Filibustering is a waste of time. Time to bring the cannons to the gun fight.
Hilarious!
My medal haul from this past weekend at Lima Peru.
Further, given that there are more D's than R's nationwide, those R states that are gerrymandered are stretching it thin. They're trying to make it a win with squeakers: 51-49 and such. Then, it will all come down to turn out. If you can turn out 60% or more, it will crush the R's.
Racism
Harsh! And I love it!
It’s a mindset everyone should have. Never let perfection be the enemy of good.
Vielleicht Whisky.
So is this 61% vs 38% due to low blue turnout, possibly due to obstructive and pernicious voting laws enacted for the whole state, but only enforced in black areas? You know: few voting stations, low ballots so they run out early, forcing long lines and no free water handouts.
The key problem with vehicles isn’t the part where it’s going from points A to B. It’s where to store it at points A and B. Parking and keeping it safe at A and B are the biggest issues. A flying car is not easy to park, although I suppose wherever it’s park, it’s safe.
Are the blacks voting red in significant numbers, or are they just gerrymandered into irrelevance?
She Melania'ed her eyes.
Then there's the poor, comprised of blacks and white. The whites are your typical MAGAs who squander all the help other states offer (and after the rich take their lion's share). The blacks, I presume, have given up hope of ever leaving.
I'm not sure that it's overwhelmingly MAGA. There's a large African-American population in MS, but they're way underrepresented. They're effectively treated as chattel. There's the wealthy, who may have an MS address, but physically live elsewhere. 1/2
Wasn’t soon enough.
Remember the “Wheel of Fortune” joke about Trump? The one that has all the letters, [R] [A] [ ] [I] [S] [T], filled in but one, and the contestants can’t decide whether to use C or P? So, we can enter C|P, or use Φ which looks like C|P. He’s a RAΦIST.
I haven’t set foot in a Target store since the anti-DEI initiative. And I have no reason to ever again. How can they win me back? Destroy the GOP. I might still not return, but at least I’ll have a smidgen of respect for Target.
Yup. It’s tough for me to get to the gym. But I have no problems going to the fencing club several times a week. I get there, and two hours later, drenching in sweat, I start my process to go home.
He’ll use up all that money on burgers.
Who from the left are recruiting ex-ICE agents? We need to build our army for the eventual Civil War clash. And those who’ve seen the insides of the system will be able to provide a valuable insights.
Born a weirdo, haven’t grown up.
I think he likes the sexual slavery parts the best.
I’d vote for her to replace him in the WH in a New York minute. At least her decor won’t be cheesy gold gilded accents.
On the other hand, if 18 million smart black people move to Texas and spread their residency in red districts, it might just work.
Turn out is key. Of course, they’re going to make in-person voting harder than ever before. But stand your ground and stand in line. If you don’t, there won’t be another one.
You’re missing the bigger picture. Over 2 million a year requiring a hospital visit. Modern cars are safer than ever before (for the passengers), so they don’t die. But they do get lacerated, break bones, rip muscles.
To be fair, conservatives never change.
The only acceptable way to shoot at a deer.
C’mon you know that Trump is a devotee of Bartok.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We should reply that we’ll vote using whatever accepted means and we’ll vote in overwhelming numbers and we’ll kick every single Republican out of office, from dog catcher to the presidency.
That’s actually quite the opposite. It is government funded. That’s why the federal government runs a deficit.
Isn’t Meloni sorta, uh, fascist?
All people and corporations should be taxed so much that they can’t buy politicians and judges.
I do like the Dixie Chicks’ rebuttal song, Earl.
Yes, I’ve noticed that. It now gives me the skeeze.
Those ICE goons are heavily loaded with gear. And are most likely not st the peak fitness. I say, run away and have them chase you. As you can see in vid, one gives up. When they’re separated, take out the lone chaser. Watch Seven Samurai for tactics.
Yay! Taking home gold from Peru at the Pan American Vet-60 Fencing Championships Skip to the 6:52:00 mark. (The video is the whole day's worth of podium finals.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86S...
Bit that’s not a wild goose chase, though.
They should all sing a round of Alice’s Restaurant. The Alice’s Restaurant Massacree Movement.
In the same way that other domestic and foreign leaders show allegiance to Trump, using this particular language style to mock him eill demonstrate allegiance to the anti-Trump side.
I would like to see Buttigieg doing some New(awe)som banter. AOC is almost doing it. I would love to see Warren, Whitmer, Duckworth, Mark Kelly, Hochul, and even foreign leaders: Macron, Carney, Scholz…
The fact that we need to fact check this alleged statement is certainly enough to validate the sentiment of the statement.
The “Christian” should be the adjective and “fake” should be the noun.
I would just suggest that the papers may not have been left there accidentally. With Putin involved and GOP’s penchant for ratfucking, take whatever “mistakes” with a large grain of salt.
Oh, any entity that has presence/agency in any other nation is considered a foreign national.
All nations should institute a foreign nationals tax. And foreign entity that wishes to donate to any political campaign must pay an annual tax of $10 billion for 4 years before beginning any donations. In a currency that the host nation chooses.
I think we ALL wish ill on JK Rowling
No serial numbers? The rolls are filed flat?
I believe drag increases by the square of the speed, not an exponential increase.
A surgery that wasn't requested on a perfectly functional, healthy organ, by an inebriated doctor with nurses with unwashed hands assisting.
I have “friends” on FB (HS classmates) who are ultra RW nutcases. They thrive on the shame. You have to find what they don’t like and use that.
It’s ironic that the most succinct reply to trickle down was by a Republican: voodoo economics.
Ok. Maybe not shame them when doing so. Perhaps give a more reasoned reply, such as: it has been tried many times and it never worked.
Yup.
The only thing to fear is fear itself. And FDR wasn’t just making some mystical babbling. Fear grips a person and pushes the person into irrational and damaging acts. It is important to banish fear in order to assess and solve problems.
In your case, I suspect they’re more out in the open about their pro-T stance. In SF I knock doors during election season. 40 doors, 4 answer, 3 say, “not interested”. Engagement is tough and depressing. So for you, meeting a redcapper may not be so difficult.
We all have different perspectives based on our past and current experiences. I’m in SF. Deep, deep blue, right? Yet, there are people within my social circle who voted for T in 16 and again in 24. My problem is we can’t tell who is the undercover gestapo. 1/2
I grew up in California and attended UC Santa Barbara. This was in early 80s. If I knew then what I know now regarding high education, I would’ve with both feet to a European university. Didn’t matter that I spoke the language or had kin.
Go balls out and try Estonia. Exotic enough to name drop. Relatively cheap. They can all speak English perfectly well.
Smart move. My understanding is that foreign college education isn’t that expensive.
I like to see him phasered out.
Another Mitt Romney moment. Those Utahans really do respect their fellow humans.
You eat those sandwiches everyday. Thirty years later, your arteries are like steel pipes. Coincidence?
What happens when incels get deputized.
I understand it’s a difficult task. But if you live in a red state and your situation is dire, you have to get that done. All I can suggest is different people should try different approaches. What works for person A may not work for person B.
Judging.
I don’t see any change. Proactivity without results is meaningless.
No
Isn't there a border they should be patrolling? LA is about 120 miles from the nearest international border.
It could be incriminating evidence. It could be just bluster. Or it could be falsely created evidence. But as long as it's not completely revealed and hangs over Dumpy's head, he's going to have to marinate in it and wonder what they heck it is. I suspect Gavin wants to have Trump blow a gasket.
