Aren't you omnipotent or something? Just do it! And why are you asking, being all-knowing?

Aren't you omnipotent or something? Just do it! And why are you asking, being all-knowing?
She just became my favorite Supreme Court Justice ever.
Snopes blew its fact check on Noem and South Park. Instead of confirming she said only liberals criticize women's appearance, it should have pointed out some of the many times the right does it. E.g., Trump repeatedly discrediting female critics or accusers by mocking their looks.
It took me a bit to look up the case, but I love it! The trial judge laid down a challenge and lost the duel.
I have to thank a bunch of folks on a thread I wandered into for reminding me why I left various previous forms of social media because the bickering over fine points of perceived difference just raised my stress level and wasted vast amounts of time. Time for a sabbatical. Maybe finish my novel.
Although she and you purport to know my motives better than I do, I don't see how I was seeking validation. I was opposing the general principle that you can lump everybody fitting a broad category into an all-inclusive description of their character and behavior.
Mainly i came to doomscroll and procrastinate. I hadn't realized that communication equals pressure. I will relieve that pressure.
Treating everyone with respect, voting against candidates who perpetuate unequal power structures, and calling BS on anyone of any gender who argues policy on the basis of stereotypes. Or who makes sweeping claims about people by broad categories. All men? Every last one?
When 2 young women came to my door last week in horrid heat to show me the way with their wisdom, I advised them that I am happy with my own religion, and now I need to walk my dog (who was barking his pagan head off).
Well, as a man who believes a woman's body is her own private property, no matter her relationship status, where do i fit in your classification system?
The crime rate in and around my house is astounding. One example:
Put me in the next cell. I haven't posted at X ever and not on Twitter since the bird was a hatchling.
They need to diversify and recruit rain dancers.
Put 2 en dashes at end of word, go right into another word, then a space or period or comma, and Word converts it to an em dash. Or maybe I'm GPT.
I was researching bar fight cases and slipped this in.
I try, to the extent that anybody reads anything I write, which appears to be close to zero. My cats, on the other hand, are rapt consumers of my wisdom.
That assumes I have no education or experience before going into the cave, and have no idea how to apply logic to call BS on what I'm told when it makes no internal sense.
They'll replace everyone who doesn't report glowing numbers with minions who are blind to the facts in the one eye they have.
Damn right I would! A Lexis search of all jurisdictions turns up 33 opinions in which the court used that phrase. Scrolling through a few, they were at the start of the opinion. I have cited Dr. Seuss a couple of times in appeal briefs without getting yelled out in oral argument.
Look for next month's jobs report to show everyone fully employed, the next inflation report to be zero, and the next CDC report to show no one has come down with measles since Jan. 20, 2025.You just have to appoint the right minions who are blind to the facts in their only eye.
He'll have to get his ass in gear on the special election to allow that.
Probably didn't follow orders to cook the books. So out he goes, and in comes a compliant minion. Look for next month's report to show everyone fully employed. Coming soon, zero inflation and no new measles cases.
So maybe they're not cooking the books yet.
So that's where all my likes have been going!
Can we trust any economy numbers from this Admin, other than those from the Fed?
This is maybe the most significant observation in governance and business: We can't trust the government's statistics.
The purpose of the birthright guidelines is to boost the deportation count by letting ICE snatch 1 or both parents and baby from maternity ward.
Or missing 8 minutes, per analysis reported by CBS.
I have a dog and cat who both leap onto the bed to "help" make it, every time.
Earlier today I replied about what I tell religious proselytizers at my door. Well, couple hours later up show 2 young ladies in the horrid heat saying they want to tell me about Jesus. My dog is erupting. I say, "I'm happy with my current religion, now I have to walk my dog." They scurried.
That's what I tell people coming to the door.
DOJ will agree with her, thereby sidestepping a pesky pardon. That was the deal reached last week.
And probably buying and selling stock ahead of market-moving announcements
No, but it doesn't appear to be a disqualification
Sorry to go mathy, but that would be 24 7 52. Or 24 365. Otherwise, it adds up.
Our newest outdoor kitten, Nubbies, has rejoined mom as a community cat. Her 3 siblings are watching suspiciously from a bush. They'll be tougher to catch.
The day after midterms. We should set up a pool for the date.
Actually, something like this happened across the street from me last weekend. A young man threatened his mother in her house and she called 911. Police surrounded the place and were ready for anything, but mom and cops talked him out after awhile and they took him away without violence.
My MSN news feed fed me an ad for a free AI Biblical Sermon Generator. Wondering what the catch is on the free part. Resisting urge to play with it to see what perverse sermons I can prompt it to churn out. Seeing potential for results contrary to expectations, like pre-Nazification Grok.
Nowhere like everybody
Yeah, that, because fire vs fire, but couple every state's skewered redistricting with provisions saying that the state will shift to a population-based, geometric system upon every other state doing the same or a federal law mandating it nationwide.
In an alternative universe, POTUS 47 flicks her brown hair out of her eyes and orders the US military to move food, medical aid and infrastructure into Gaza to save the people from starvation, and to push back against any military or militia that tries to get in our way.
The mission is a broader one to destroy the US generally so that it cannot oppose Putin's ambitions.
My cats have been training relentlessly for the competition.
Deputy Secretary of Education.
After chuckling along with the late night hosts mocking the stable genius (with the MIT prof uncle) for not understanding that there are no numbers for reducing anything in terms of percentage higher than 100, I recalled (dimly) studying imaginary numbers in high school math class. Sorry Donold.
I called my NPR and public classical stations right after the bill passed and doubled my monthly payments. I don't watch public TV, but will start a monthly draw.
After their sibling instantly went in one trap, bound to get legalized as a community cat, these 2 saw its plight and carefully circled the other trap without going in. #catsofbluesky
I dream about how the plot develops from the point I finally left off to go to bed. Always wrong, I find out.
This is me every night. Going from one subchapter break to the next to the next. Then yawn through actual work the next day.
So, they are obligated to take the bait and ask more about what the Admin wants to distract them with? Tariffs affect everyone. I hope they asked about how high tariffs on imported component materials and parts for US-made cars favor Japanese-made cars subject to only an overall 15% tariff.
Except it is a collusive suit designed to pay off rump, so there will be no discovery.
More needed is work in the fields harvesting crops. With credit for time doing that before 18.
Or it's a collusive suit to put more millions into trump's personal pocket.
Something strongly worded.
I assume that he or his Russian handlers are on a charted course to weaken the US in every way that Putin wants.
The Pubes are scrambling so hard to keep the Epstein files hidden because they're sure Trump is splashed all over them.
I recently doubled my NPR local station donation to help offset fed gov's attempt to silence that necessary, objective source of news. Just now I heard on the local classical station that it is losing its fed funding too. So I called and doubled my contrib. Please, folks, bump your donations too.
Really bad idea to leave the country.
I recall him from being one of the nonselfaware idiots on Letterman.
Or just calling for the administration to be consistent, since they have no qualms about legal status before snatching and removing people who don't match the approved color chart?
You're missing information about a legally significant fact from your analysis: How did Cannon get into the US? Did her vetting for the judge approval miss that she is in the country illegally? Or are you advocating deportation of every immigrant, no matter legal status?
I think Clinton was a terrific president. If he was raping underage girls, I want that to come out and I want justice to be done. Can we agree on that point regarding anyone, including Trump?
There will be no real discovery in the libel suit by orange felon vs WSJ. It is a setup for paying T personally from funds of an ally.
He kind of did that anyway, which is why he was pulled.
Yep, I just doubled my monthly contribution to my local station. Y'all do the same and we might keep the news we need.
I just doubled the monthly draw for my local radio station (Omaha) carrying NPR. I told the person answering the phone that somebody has to support it, if the government won't. Y'all chip in too, wherever you are! Don't let this objective and necessary voice be silenced!
The rapture won't make the news. Only 144,000 people disappearing from amongst the billions on earth will just look like a new missing persons, at most, in any area. And we can handle the alien invasion with all public broadcasting playing Slim Whitman. Oh, wait ....
When I saw that first run, I called BS on the filmmakers putting glasses on one of the equally gorgeous young women and treating her as the ugly one.
Another, authentic, way to look at it is that everyone is figuring it out, but the best figuring is done by paying attention to the lessons shared by those who have been there and done that and themselves were guided by others with more experience. So, little miss, do what your mom tells you!
Having been clued into the appropriateness of the term "cock womble" to describe 45/47 and other foolish men in his sphere, I asked my phone what the female version is. It took the space out of cockwomble and offered "twatwaffle" as the closest equivalent. As in US AG Twatwaffle. Spread the word!
Exactly my observation. You need pickups, whiskey, bars, jeans, gravel roads, dogs (never cats), and cheating. Some songs are little more than lists.
I love it, but it will require titles to clarify the subject: President Cock Womble, Defense Secretary Cock Womble, FBI Director Cock Womble ....
If the Pubes allow her to testify, it means she'll deny all Trump involvement and has a pardon worked out. Otherwise, she will be called by Dems in control of part of Congress in 2027.
Kitten gazing at painting of ancestor.
Simple fix for this, and for fact that citizens have a higher crime rate than immigrants: Deport all US citizens.
Woke works!
Autocorrected naw to now
Now. He would have sent his fixer, who was still on the payroll at the time.
The worst depression i ever had was from taking an antidepressant when the real cause originally was too little sleep
Suggestion to reporters: Do a story comparing death threats received by reporters whom Trump calls "evil" compared with other reporters who ask him questions. Seems like a purposeful intimidation tactic. Not just dodging the question.
My Galaxy 23 turns any moon pix at night into blobs of light, with no detail. Crescents turn to blobs.
Going by what HS says ICE agents always show for ID, we should assume anyone not showing that ID is a kidnapper and should act to prevent the crime.
Orwell never saw Monty Python.
I thought he was talking about running the WH halls when he has the zoomies.
I thought he was talking about sprinting through the WH halls anytime he gets the zoomies.
Apparently Musk had Grok trained with tRump's rally speeches and press conference answers. Grok is channeling his rambling style. Somebody ask it about toilets and windmills.
Dang! I didn't see your announcement before I dropped out a minute later. I was clearing the field for you.
I hereby announce that I too am not running for president in 2028 and will remain with my law firm.
I read every C&H book to my son, who paid me back by posing like Calvin for family photos.
There aren't that many countries.
Then again, other info says the weather reports were accurate and updated. But Texas officials used the NWS as a scapegoat for their own failings to warn.
How to prevent Medicaid cuts eff. 2027: Replace all Republicans up for election in 2026, repeal the cuts 1st week of January 2027, then override the veto.
Thank you to our neighbors near and far for blowing up your rent and mortgage payments for our amusement tonight. But it's after midnight. You have our permission to stop now.
And morally bankrupt regarding anyone outside of his chain of command.
I was 3 from the end, having budgeted episodes on the assumption that Exp 7/3 meant through that date, not gone already as of that date. Drat it all.
Effing Hulu! After watching 21 of the 24 Andor episodes I found were on Hilu and expiring 7/3, with the last 3 tonight, I fired it up tonight and ... gone already. I read and article saying Thursday was the last day. Effing cliffhanger.
Can't let facts get in the way of a good rant.
Seems to be the only qualification needed.
Your algorithm must be different than mine. This is the first Star Trek mention I've seen here in half a year. I get lots of cats and f@@@ 47 posts.
