Historically, when something like this happens...something bad occurs. We are in the middle of something bad.

Not a single correction. I...of course, could not resist.

There were hundreds of posts on an AP article about the Gaza Strip. It became obvious, that at least 15 of the MAGA posts thought "Gaza" was a country. One such post had about 30 thumbs up!

I'd doubt the validity, it's from Pauly Shore. Pauly hides his politics, but he has certainly sided with Trump, and they used to be friends. On a personal note, I worked with Pauly on a movie. I was there for over a month. It was clear he was on major drugs and was a total a-hole. Horrible person.

Nice. I would love to meet her.

When you look further into it, the monies for the renovation was already there, so Trump didn't build, repair or retrofit that much. And when the spending/stealing scandal was exposed, Steve Bannon did an entire 4 months in jail. None of the money has been investigated, no justice served.

It's coming, some people just don't want to accept the reality that the U.S. is done. Worse the longer this goes on the worse blue states will have it...

Yes, I know "sayething" isn't a real word. Sometimes a writer likes to make up stuff. Call it a creative endeavor or poetic license. Whatever floats your flotilla. It beats being an orange faced liar!

When I was really young, I kind of liked her. As I became older and found out what she was really like, she and Ronny Raygun and rot in hades!

We have attempted to have a free market. (We had some success). Some of our forefathers warned us and knew what we should do, but we have faced a losing battle against greed and corruption.

A sad truth and big problem!
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social)
This is my opinion, based on research, education and a study of history. The problem with social media is its influence and spread of ignorance. If I happen to be wrong, prove it, show me. If you have a strong case, I will acquiesce or offer my best counter argument. NOT, "I saw it on YouTube!"

I was surprised, pleasantly. I couldn't imagine someone out in the heat flying a kite. Made my day.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social)
Nothing positive in the news, went out for a very short walk in 97-degree weather. I saw someone flying a kite. I figure this is better than anything else I could post today.

There's little doubt this is a slap from Trump, since he feels Bolton betrayed him. If this is a Trump flex, he better be careful what they find. Not everyone in the FBI appreciates being used for temper-tantrum fascism.

I am sorry to hear that. I cannot fathom how we let such horrible doctors mistreat people like this!

Washington D.C. isn't even in the top ten this year. Trump used old data. In 2024 D.C. homicides dropped by 27%! (What? Trump lied? That's like trusting pre-boy Pinocchio after he takes a lie detector test (Think it through)).

100% true. They never debunked Pee gate. Steele just didn't have the file, which he stated previously.

I have to admit. I wasn't sure if the WNBA would make it, when it started. It has hung in there, and these last few years it increased its fanbase by 48%, ratings are up, viewership is up. Merchandisers ignore them at their own loss.

Covid 19 exacerbates Asthma by bonding with certain proteins that normally fight virus infection. The problem is these proteins aren't lowering, and they cause inflammation in the upper respiratory, rather than the lungs. This means that a majority of asthma medications are nearly ineffectual.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social) reply parent
People need to stop violating them and acting as if they don't exist...Especially the affluent and powerful. Now we have a party of cult members that only accept the laws they believe in...

No doubt, not dismissing that. Though laws don't appear to matter much these days.

That is a sad truth. I at least have equltiy where I am at. A male doctor and female doctor, equally bad.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social) reply parent
Alcohol is a blood thinner. It can open up airways and I appreciate the advice, but my asthma is caused by a protein imbalance from Covid.

As a moderate to liberal democrat, and self-proclaimed realist, I don't see any reasonable path to presidency for Mamdani. I do welcome him as a part off the party, that can use fresh ideas and different outlooks and parity. That said, we might be looking for an all-new government soon.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social)
(Dealing with Covid asthma) This is just a small part of what's been going on (with me). I've never felt so weak, and I had major problems after the Navy. I had huge problems from my service that left me with complications, mostly pain. It's weird to say, but I'd take the pain over the weakness.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social) reply parent
I appreciate the sentiment. I'm kind of stuck in a corner. I may be looking into a patient advocate.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you. Vary nice sentiments. I think I have to try and find another doctor, but options are limited. Covid didn't just get my health it got my money too.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you. This has been rough. My asthma is not responding well to medication and my primary doctor has kinda thrown me to the wolves.
Rich Holmes (@fablecorp.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree.

I may be on long break. It's hard advocating for others when I can't even advocate for myself.

They want to position, not the job. Pretty clear none of the MAGAs do the actual job. We wouldn't be such a mess if they did their job.

Lurking Loomer sees herself as an investigative reporter but her only talents are becoming more plastic than human and pressing her boobs against Trump. In my opinion, there's an 88% likelihood Trump has had an affair with her. The man is addicted to cheap plastic and crazy.

Magat's post statistics based on per state. Since Blue States have the bulk of population, they of course are higher in SOME statistics. Using Per Capita, gives a clearer picture of the problem. What's pathetic, some Red States lead in problem areas, even with lower populations. See Alska rapes...

Always fascinated by that story. Now, some historians are wondering if she did it at all, or if she was a scapegoat.

I was taught that if a person cannot make a proper argument, without use of fallacy, to move on and abandon the discussion. The problem we face is that bad arguments and fallacies haven't just become the norm, they are the majority.

Exactly. The U.S. is dotted with such things, entire lost town, cities, highways, rivers, lakes. Theres even an entire town on the east coast that can never leave the town. They've been quarantined for decades.

Right! I've spent years explaining, Smog, means smoke and fog. Typically, we have DUPOR, a combination of dust and water vapor. That haze has been around since before modern man set foot here. It's the stuff you can't see in the air that gets you. Sorry for mansplain, sounds like you knew this.
