What a fool. Then I guess we can use that same analogy to murder, or speed limits, or stopping at red lights, or any other requirement that keeps us safe.
Crazy - but I'm becoming more liberal at 74 than I was at 44.

NBC News: BREAKING: Florida to eliminate all vaccine mandates ------ Granted, it will take several years, but mark my words, we'll see an epidemic of childhood diseases return starting in Florida.
Over my 75 years I've heard some crazy stuff. But moving (the stupid) Space Command from Colorado because they have mail in voting is right up there. How much more govt money is going to be wasted in doing this -- from someone who brought in DOGE to clean up fraud & abuse?
NBC: Trump says he will award Rudy Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom ---- For what? Not telling what he knows about Trump? Or for staying sober while he's hospitalized?
At what point did "don't think for yourself" become a requirement for elected office? That goes for both parties. But worse, when did "don't rely on facts & science & reality" become a requirement for GOP elected office?
Letters to the editor in the Minnesota Star Tribune fall into the "it isn't guns, it's a mental health issue." Thos same people need to see this chart & ask themselves what mental health issue exists here and no\where else in the world?

How'd prayer work out for those two kids yesterday or the 17 others injured? If prayer worked, there'd be no war, no traffic deaths, no one killed in fires, no loss of life in natural disasters, and on and on and on.
With all the crazy in the RFK Jr stuff.... I've had this crazy idea that we can't be far away from Trump Vaccine Inc.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
RFK Jr. and Donald Trump have instituted "operation warp speed" to kill off as many people as they can. Or is it "operation warp speed" to kill off science and replace it with conspiracy theories?
Yes, give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. Well deserved after this. ---- WAPO: Russian strikes pummel Kyiv, killing at least 12 and damaging E.U. building in fiercest attack since Trump-Putin summit
I'm waiting for.... in light of this recent tragedy, it is too early to talk about guns. We should be praying for those that lost their life and the injured. Rinse and repeat every f'ing mass shooting.
Thoughts and prayers... more active shooter drills... waiting to hear the solution is arming teachers.
How dare they put facts in front of their viewers. The loons are outraged.
More accurate translation -- doesn't dare complain.
What? They didn't say "sir, we'd like a dictator?"
This is so Christian of them. ==== WAPO: Trump administration moves to bar states and nonprofits, such as Red Cross, from helping undocumented immigrants after disasters
omfg.... It can't get any crazier. Trump continually talks about wars he ended, yet never is he questioned on what wars those were.
It is just so scary that cabinet members need to do all they can to suck up to the King.
Dr. Bombay must have been busy. (okay, younger ppl may not get it)
Now I know we've gone into the land of make believe.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
And, can someone explain to me how an executive order can overturn a SCOTUS ruling?
WAPO: Another order aims to overturn a Supreme Court decision that said the First Amendment protects flag burning. ---- Never understood banning flag burning. It's a piece of cloth. Yet no problem for someone to wear flag shorts and sit on their arse on the flag. I've seen hideous flag garments.
WAPO: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth authorizes National Guard to carry weapons in D.C. deployment ------- This cannot end well.
Going to have Trump out on patrol. wtf What purpose does that serve other than a photo op? It isn't like they won't clear whatever area he is in. And Fox & other right-wing sites will lap it up and claim it is him protecting the people.
I've said before -- if they have their way, the word slaves will be replaced by low-wage employees.
I've said before -- not long and the word slaves will be replaced by low-wage employees.
I hate you... You're going to make me watch it again. lol
And this woman is getting paid to spout total bullshit.
Totally Trump playbook... fake numbers. Either numbers are fake, or I'll create fake numbers, or somehow prove he's right. WAPO: Justice Dept. probes whether D.C. police manipulated data to make crime rates appear lower, escalating tensions between Trump, city
In WAPO "The 5 Minute Fix" you have: "“I’ve ended six wars,” Trump said Monday, ..." Where is the info on what six wars Trump ended? Anyone? Why is there no follow-up in the article? Where and when will someone question his bs?
Serious peace talks? More like Trump having a woody and can't wait to give Putin a lap dance.
They should be driven to a plane and flown to the Hague.
Who doesn't see this happening? Putin agrees to whatever and gets a ton of shit from the U.S. Days later Putin doesn't comply with the agreement & keeps whatever Trump promised him without any consequences.
I love Paramount+ and had quite a number of series I was binging on when I cancelled four to six weeks ago.
Apparently the WH posted a video of many US Marshals & FBI in riot gear & shields going though apartment bldg to arrest the "Sandwich Guy." He worked for DOJ. They could have sent a disabled cop to make the arrest. Yes, they wld need more but this was total overkill.
Release the Epstein files.
Work release? What job does she have in Texas? Looking for a predator needing a recruiter? Should young girls in Texas be warned?

When you thought it couln't get crazier, we get this: The UFC is planning to host a fight at the White House in 2026 as part of the celebrations for America's 250th anniversary.
And, it is not going to end well.
Guard moves into the streets of DC "slums." I can see this escalating into some real problems. Trump thinks this is some magic bullet to cure the ills & poverty in DC? Nope. As I've said, this is nothing but a distraction from Epstein. And, a move further in the authoritaian playboolk.
So Trump sending in the guard & basically declaring martial law in DC. Who can't tell he's going way overboard to try and distract from Epstein?
NBC News: The Trump administration has proposed a $1 billion settlement with UCLA amid a larger battle over federal funding. The sum would have disastrous effects on the university, school officials said. ------- We don't need no stinkin' education. We'll tell ppl what they need to know & believe.
I rarely go on fb other than getting to messenger. Somehow I got a Trump is the greatest whatever in my feed. Decided to look at the comments. These ppl are clearly in a cult - some of the most insane & unbelievable comments about his presidency. They need serious psychological help.
WAPO: Apple won an exemption from the new levy after promising to spend an additional $100 billion on U.S. hiring and components. -- Trump to dbl tariff unless cos make stuff here. Love jobs back to the US, but isn't this going to make phones more expensive anyway? Isn't that why they moved mfgr?
Vlad, please come meet with me so I can get people to stop talking about Epstein.
So now Trump is going to meet in person with Putin to what, give him a lap.... get his marching orders?
I was just thinking about the crazies who think Trump was chosen by God. What did God like the most? Sexual abuse of women, taking food from children, racism, transfer from the poor to the billionaires, being a consonant liar, etc.
In the '80s & '90s I worked full-time in the MN State Capitol & never gave any thought to safety. Now they are closing down all entrances but four & looking at other security measures. What sort of society have we become?
omfg.... Just shoot me now. --- NBC: BREAKING: Sean 'Diddy' Combs has asked Trump for a pardon
I love how the house is sending subpoenas to every dem or anti-Trumper they can think of regarding Epstein. Gosh, aren't they forgetting to get Trump under oath?
And, of course, subpoenas to Bill & Hilary Clinton.
NBC News: Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama administration review of 2016 election --- To which I say.... JHC
Corp for Public Broadcasting shuts down. Crazy stuff w/Maxwell. Labor statistics will no longer be believed as Trump fires, not liking numbers. Puts pressure on the fed & board mbr resigns (we don't know why). Where will it end? Besides media fails to discuss Trump mental acuity.
Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie
WAPO: Trump orders firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner after large revision to jobs report casts doubt about labor market ----- Message: If you don't cook the books for me, you'll get canned.
I'm still scratching my head at "I never had the pleasure of visiting the island." I'm sorry, but saying that creeps me out. I can't believe I haven't heard a lot of other people saying how creepy that is... never had the pleasure?
WAPO: Smithsonian removes mentions of Trump's two impeachments from National Museum of American History ------ Seriously? What's next, Civil War? Slavery becomes low-wage employees?
Here's my take. GOP in power, dismantle everything & tear down whatever they want. Dems in power, simply vow not to do what the GOP did. That's what's happened in the past. GOP back in power, continue to tear down every f'ing thing in sight. Dems in power -- time to f'ing fight back.
WAPO: Senate confirms controversial Trump nominee Emil Bove as federal judge ----- I've run out of things to say with every new outrage and Congress becoming totally irrelevant.
WAPO: Ghislaine Maxwell wants immunity and a copy of House lawmakers’ questions before she testifies, her lawyer says ------ Translation - immunity so she can perjure herself during the whole hearing. I think that's about right.
Trump speak is impossible to unravel. The media just lets it go rather than taking minutes to unravel it. Epstein is a hoax, written by Obama, Hillary, Comey, whoever. If he hasn't seen it how does he know? If they wrote it, why put dems in there? If a hoax put it out & prove a hoax. smdh
Illegal to be pawns for Dems? But being pawns, lapdogs, kiss ups, and get on their knees for Trump is just fine.
I just heard something very interesting. Immigration violations are NOT criminal, they are civil. Think about that as Trump & ICE talk about deporting criminals.
Saw this on RawStory: 'You don't have immunity': Stephen Miller and ICE agents put on notice by legal expert ==== My immediate thought.... sure, no immunity, but they sure can be pardoned.
Seriously? Other than those that have consumed the kool-aid, who honestly believes any wordws that come out of his pie hole?
This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.
I haven't watched the news today. I assume Maxwell has been pardoned and named George Soros & other dems as clients of Epstein. No? Well, wait for it.
BREAKING: FCC greenlights $8 billion Paramount merger with Skydance -------- See what $16 million and canceling Colbert will do for you.
Seriously? Someone who has been convicted of lying under oath is somehow going to be honest - especially after a meeting with Blanche where we have no idea what was promised by either party.
I'm growing so tired of all the ICE stories and nobody in the media questions - what happened to all the criminals being ousted rather than regular every day working stiffs? You never hear that.
RawStory: A former official who worked with Attorney General Pam Bondi in Florida predicted that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche would strike a "hidden pardon" deal with Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. ----- I've been saying that since the 1st time I heard of Blanche meeting.
WAPO: ICE moves to shackle some 180,000 immigrants with GPS ankle monitors, a sharp increase in round-the-clock monitoring --------- Good thing they got all that extra funding. smdh
When you thought things couldn't get worse. --- WAPO: EPA drafts rule to strike down landmark climate finding The agency proposes to overturn the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which underpins limits on greenhouse gas emissions for vehicles and power plants.
I give up. I can't wait to see all the defective products & such that are never removed from being sold. SCOTUS is so in Trump's pocket. --- WAPO: Politics Alert: Supreme Court allows Trump to remove Democrats from agency that regulates safety of everyday consumer products
If any rube out there dares to talk about Trump transparency, they need to look for a logic gene or brain transplant. Unavoidable fact -- if there was absolutely nothing in Epstein docs, files, whatever, that doesn't have dire consequences for Donny, then they'd be releasing everything.
WAPO: Justice Department's request to release Epstein transcripts is denied by Florida judge ----- Gosh, isn't that what most with a logical brain said would happen? AND even if released, that's not the info most ppl, other than WH, wants? Smokescreen.
From Entertainment Weekly: White House issues intimidating statement about The View being 'pulled off the air' (exclusive) ---- Anyone shocked by this? More of their distraction and intimidation.
Hey Fox or any right-wing loon... If there is presidential immunity how can anything that Obama did be a crime? Why aren't reporters shouting this at Trump? Why don't we hear that in the media anytime Trump's threats against Obama are made? Epstein distraction should be debunked immediately.
Wait? What do you mean this wasn't The Onion? House Republicans voted Tuesday to rename the opera house at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after first lady Melania Trump.
I need some clarification. Who is running Congress - Trump or Epstein?
Who can't predict what this will be.... === Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will meet with convicted sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell in the next several days. --- Keep your mouth shut and you'll get a pardon.
This is so right. Any other president doing this and they'd have been torn to shreds. Anyone remember the outrage over a tan suit?
They are nucking futs
How about the Washington Epsteins? Sorry Donny, but threating whatever unless they change the name is not going to be enough of a distraction.
At what point will ppl finally throw up their hands & give up? That, unfortunately, seems to be where we are heading. I'm starting to hate reading their next bs They want a country of white people all driving gas guzzling cars. (I don't think we are far from green being illegal)
Went to my Paramount+ account. What timing. My subscription was to renew today - not anymore. I've cancelled. Quit buckling under to Trump and bring back Colbert and I'll renew.
Trump DOJ says that the penalty a white man should get for a killing a Black woman is ONE DAY in jail. LITERALLY that is what we are seeing in case of Breonna Taylor case with the white cop convicted by jury in her killing. Trump wants to take us back to Jim Crow era. www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/p...
This is f'ing nuts. This is billion, as in $10 Billion. How can this even be taken seriously? =-=-=-= NBC: BREAKING: Trump files $10 billion libel lawsuit over Wall Street Journal's Epstein article
CBS gets sued by DJT over normal editing of Harris interview. CBS buckles under. Fox News edits Trump answering questions & drops the parts of him babbling, or whatever, and there isn't a peep anywhere. Now he's urging release of grand jury that may not happen AND it doesn't contain salient info.
Gosh, if CBS hadn't buckled under to Trump they'd have plenty of money and wouldn't be able to pull the money card as a reason to cancel. (My suspicion is they are worried because of all the anti-Trump stuff on his show and they may have been threatened)
In my opinion, SCOTUS is pretty much saying in this and other rulings -- we don't need no stinkin' congress. ----- WAPO: Supreme Court allows Trump administration to proceed with deep cuts at Education Department, for now
oh, that's right, it was Donny who sucked up to Vlad. Donny woke up, taking his ball & going home. Ukraine would have been better off if Donny woke up sooner. --- WAPO: Trump threatens new tariffs and sanctions on Russia and announces European countries will buy U.S. weapons to send to Ukraine
What f'ing planet do these people live on. Transparency? He wants to be transparent, remove the orange paint to start. Still waiting on those tax returns from 2015 Mr. Transparency. Oh wait, they are under audit.
We can't be far away from banning electric vehicles and anything solar or wind.
Today's GOP... no matter if the voters legitimately approved something, they just repeal it. Of course, if a Dem as Governor, he/she would not do similar because the ppl spoke. And the ppl can't see the total difference between parities.
