Naïve to trust anyone.

What is the RSQ? With and without the US? I think this chart would look the same if you replaced gun ownership with poverty rate. Just a guess. I think gun violence is hopelessness and availability of guns. We could try to go after the hopelessness issue?
Honestly, it the secret service reports to him, then she is safer without them.
We are all going to die some day. The positive side of that is that after you are dead, you will never have to get up early again. Silver lining!
All these people he is trying to fire have something in common.
Not many people use the word simulacra. Reminds of the college days reading Slavoj Zizek.
Russia is back in the communist fold. Russia’s vacillation between the east and the west goes back to before the Tatar yoke.
Stopped going there. Always try to find a local coffee shop whenever I am traveling. The airport Starbucks is hard to resist.
Weird article. Ohio State fans are not talking about the UM loss. So we slipped up at home before going on a tear to win the NC. “The Game” just doesn’t matter as much. It used to ruin your season, now it is a road bump. Call us soft, but we got the ring and we didn’t cheat to get it.
My TV is starting to show signs of fear.
I thought only boomers thought this.
When these kind of people die, all I can do is wish that hell exists.
I can be bribed with just potato chips.
Well according to the geniuses from the right, “we are not a democracy, we are a republic”. If you can’t get them to understand to most basic things, then there is no way you are going to get the to understand gerrymandering.
So damned true
There was a time when a president being out dueled by a Soviet nearly ruined their presidency before to even got started (Kennedy). Now, a president gets clearly manipulated by another Soviet (yes Putin is still a KGB agent at heart) and…nothing. The news doesn’t even report Trump’s heel turn.
You need to watch Rafa Nadal, he is the GOAT of weird compulsive tics.
Book-goat?
Jurisdiction is a huge problem here. Most violent crime is covered under state law. I am not a huge fan of local police, but they understand state law better and are better at building cases within that framework. Federal agents will largely get in the way.
Flat earthers say that they are as far apart as they could possibly be.
I don’t know who the F Kyle Tucker is, but I will say MJ23 forever.
I saw two things, so those things happen all the time! That is the statistics of the stupid. Anecdotal “evidence” is bullshit. Please provide real data or STFU.
Simple fact checks. You know what every credible news source does every day. I think there is a word in the last sentence that doesn’t apply to Fox.
Median-gate is really heating up. It is clear that leading Democrats, aided by no one other than George Soros, were taking bribes to “keep Americas medians ugly”. George has huge holdings in drab grey concrete that is known to crack and stain. It is all coming to light! #mediangate
I don’t think that word (discrimination) means what he thinks it means.
Pragmatic progressives — armed with bread-and-butter proposals to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and an upbeat message of hope — are the future of the Democratic Party. This is a good thing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/bread-and-butter-and-hope
ts, musicians, actors, but we saw mainly everyday life in a kinder place than the one we currently inhabited. It educated not just counting and the alphabet, but on more important things like kindness, honesty, friendship and love. It is a masterpiece.
Sesame Street was so much more than a kids show. Its ambition was to make better people. It touched on all the things that make a great civil society and did it in a way that kids could understand. We saw everyday people, we saw grouchy people, happy people, sad people with problems, we saw artis
Politics is a blood sport, no one in the Democratic Party should have a clean shirt at this point.
Can we stop with these kinds of posts? The problem with liberals or Democrats or progressives or “the left” is some silly thing like this! Dopamine hits? That is the problem? Really? Maybe it is deeper than that?
This stinks to high heaven.
I agree, but politically it was poison. By using race as the delimiter, it made the argument about race and it separated people that had the same economic interests. It allowed race to be the issue, not class. Do I think you can use class and be successful? Racism is still there, so…
Bret Stephens, his columns are best used for toilet paper. That is a very 1900’s comment. For the younger people, newspapers used to be printed on paper that then you could use as toilet paper. Do not use digital toilet paper, all you get is a dirty cellphone.
Never felt worse for a tennis player
People will believe anything that will elevate them above other people. “If everyone is super then no one is”…The Incredibles.
"The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government and economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women." —FDR, 1932
Look at Alcaraz’s first serve percentage and unforced errors and then tell me he didn’t falter. That was sloppy final and a disappointment. Broken Djokovic challenged Sinner more than Carlos did.
Work requirements do nothing but blow up bureaucracy and cause eligible people to lose their coverage due to PAPER WORK!
This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.
Hard to watch Alcaraz lose. He has been so brilliant over the fortnight. Sinner made him pay for his low first serve percentage. Alcaraz was impatient and inconsistent. On to the hard courts. #alcaraz #wimbledon
It is funny how the ball bounces. Poor Dimitrov. Alcaraz was awful today. His serving was bad and decision making worse. On to the hardcourt season and ultimately New York.
Saddest man in the world right now is Dimitrov
Too bad he lost in the quarters
Best question I have heard in awhile. Why aren’t the Democrats pointing this out is another question, but I think the answer is obvious.
Manufacturing jobs do not pay well anymore. Those days are over. Unions are still weak and tiered workforces have significantly degraded wages.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"
The old-line Democrats are melting down too! More proof that the whole system is crooked.
…and so begins “the buying of Mamdani” …I am sure that I will be as disappointed with his as I have been with most Democrats, because money will ruin him.
Read “Legacy of Ashes”. The CIA is a clown show.
Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.
Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.
A billionaire who profits off the presidency is feuding with another billionaire who bought access to the government to line his own pockets. Neither should have ever been able to amass so much power. What we're witnessing is a failed experiment in billionaire governance.
In real life no one likes Shatner and his name has shat in it.
I will take Thomas Paine and you can have the rest of the “founding fathers” …if I have to take two then I will take Benjamin Franklin as well.
Dunning Krueger is strong with this one.
After the Civil War, we should have freed the slave moved them North and then let the South secede. How much richer would we be if we didn’t have to pay for their incompetence?
Yes you did! You absolutely did.
I hear that chickens have filed a defamation suit. They do not like being compared to Trump.
How do you spell Joni Ernst? I will give you a hint — see you next Tuesday
It is an Ethiopian goat and it will never forgive the Italians for Mussolini.
“That is why throughout my presidency I acted like a Republican.”

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
So let me get this straight: the "party of the working class" is kicking millions of people off health care to fund tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich?
Weren’t there already movies made?
If our political spectrum wasn’t shifted so far to the right, then you might be a centrist.

If this doesn’t make you skin crawl…nothing will.
She needs to shun all things that were made using science to prove that she fully rejects it.
Yeah cause the corporate owned dem establishment has done such a great job. Thanks to the “republican light” party for getting us into this mess. Why don’t we just triangulate ourselves right out of being relevant.
Lincoln knows it is better to be in the back.
Why are they actively trying to kill people?
I assume that at sometime in the past there were thoughtful conservatives. We ought to find an archeologist to see if we can find a fossil record of them.
AOC talking about politicians trading. "Do you really think people don't see this shit?"
What?

Sure…you knew what I meant and yet you still want to create the schism to prove you are intellectually superior…wonder why normal people hate liberals. Jesus we are fucking doomed.
I wish I could’ve been the match…
Burn, baby, burn
Seriously, this man wanted to overturn the Civil Rights Bill. He is a monster!
Probably a pedophile
Kier is a double agent. He deserves what double agent get.
This is accurate.
Who cares? One billionaire hating another? Fuck them both! This is about hundredaires and thousandaires. EAT THE RICH!!!
One of my favorite movies. People forget that ideologically driven stories are necessary for us. If we don’t tell the story with emotion then we lose the argument. Rationality is fine, but it doesn’t win hearts.
Fuck yeah…this and The Ghost of Tom Joad.
Moody’s? You the agency that rated mortgage backed securities as AAA? Who the fuck cares what they have to say?
Barry Goldwater was a POS…I don’t give one damn about your religion, but when you side with the the small government (starve the children) republicans, you have lost your soul whether you think you have one or not
Listen to “The Ghost of Tom Joad” and then read “The Grapes of Wrath” and cry for the death of FDR’s America.
Fiscal responsibility at the wrong time can be a disaster. Don’t be conned into fighting for the wrong thing.
Ask this on X. The answer here is obvious, genius.
It would be nice if he priced his tickets so average Americans could afford them. Hypocrisy? Honestly asking.
My Friday…pizza with Delirium Tremens beer, followed by some scotch and a listen to Rage Against the Machine. Lost my job to budget cuts, cough…age discrimination and distaste for those that speak up…last weekend that I drink and eat so well. Fuck the corporations!
Read Mike Davis!

I absolutely do not believe in nationhood. That idea has an ocean of blood on it. I do believe in citizenship. Citizens, by my definition, are people who by social contract support the state if the state lives up to its obligations that are set down in codes and laws.
