mustn't rock a sinking boat 😁
it's just a name...the gop shouldn't get so bent out of shape 😁
when i look at the type of people who attain power and money in society (though pretty much two sides of a coin)...i'm not optimistic about making them (and surely they'll be the first priority) live longer will be a good thing ☹️
we seem to have lost the ability of abstract/logical thought. i think the only thing that will make people give a damn is if their own first born dies. nothing less. now i see why god chose this method with the plagues on egypt. he knew human (sub)thinking. sigh....☹️
i googled "highest violent crime rate" and got st louis. looks like from any angle the slices show rotten red.
it'll work with economics/labor statistics it'll work for anything release the files! (with bipartisan oversight of the ENTIRE process) 😁
is this a global thing? conservatives cause a problem and demand more power to fix the problem...then when they get booted, complain loudly the liberals haven't immediately fixed the problem they caused? it only works on stupid though...so why are they so successful...? 🫤
gravy + a starch is one of life's simple pleasures pretty amazing for just "brown and water"(simpsons lunch lady)🙂
i remember when the family would stay at my grandparents house out in the country (first time i ever saw the milky way...in high school). grandma would cook and everyone would eat all over the place. and she'd just put some food on a saucer and eat that in the kitchen...peace and quiet time 🙂
according to the constitution people who comfort insurrectionists can't hold office.... words on paper can't defend itself...it needs good people (kinda like religious books too). well, we seem to be in short supply of millions upon millions of decent people... because that's where it starts.
such ungrateful tribes!! we gave them the worst land we could think of and now that we found something to do with it they complain.... huh! 😁
haha...laws aren't laws when the government doesn't selectively do anything about it. that's why you can't vote for "good" republicans. they'll vote for the party when it needs it and it's always been to support this/him. they wouldn't know character or patriotism if it sat on their faces.
i had a wonderful professor who mentioned he came to the usa after ww2 and that the united states was very interested in importing phds from germany. now it seems like we're purposefully dumping on the educated in favor of...well, whatever the mob feels like. i remember them starting w/ teachers...
since i'm a product of modern times, my first thought was how would such a button be abused, and immediately following that i thought of a scratch and sniff trump post😁 now i definitely need fresh bread and happy puppies to cleanse myself
many people say..... :-) besides, concerns rank up with thoughts and prayers as far as making any difference :-/
i KNEW something was fishy when it cast netflix as spending money on something worth watching.... 🙂
the best way to protect the lives of our servicemen is to release the epstein files so this lunatic doesn't keep making up emergencies. i'm so glad congress is on the ball with this. the founding fathers weren't clever enough to foresee the gop..
not only is he a crook and an assailant, he tried to delete evidence of his classified docs room... the "raw" video released was edited... every day is more time to shred (if it hasn't been done already) thehill.com/regulation/c...
oh no....we might "have" to suddenly attack another country... release the epstein files in their entirety now WITH bipartisan oversight. (anyone who trusts his appointees to do this correctly wouldn't be demanding to see the evidence in the first place....)
while it's true it results in higher prices, let's not muddy things up with "who gains and suffers as an indirect result of tariffs" sure, other countries' company who had a good trade relationship with will suffer reduced trade. but american importers are WRITING THE CHECKS to the us government.
and no security
we can't claw it back. the gop is the scar tissue that's in the way.
not good enough...i hear life begins before conception, how do we know yours didn't begin four years before. to disagree is to make it "political" 😁 we need to control pre-fetal gaming! think of the children!
denmark has already expressed its extreme displeasure with our activities in their countries. everything we claim to need... military access, info, resources, we have through agreements. what we DONT have is the glory of being bigger on the map. THAT is what trump (and putin) want. gulf of america..
i heard the usa is running influence schemes in greenland much like russia and china (shocked?). i hope the minority of greenlanders who do lean to joining the usa notice how the gop treat states they don't like. they'll outright invade them on trumped up "emergencies". the should run while they can
unfortunately the fact that hitler, stalin, mao didn't just drop dead early on gives me little faith in the power of wishful thinking/prayer.
i'd expect that between the gop in congress and the supreme court, they'll argue he's right and we'll just have to live with it until we determine that was stupid but it'll be 2050 by then. who am i kidding, they'll cancel any legal investigation immediately. ☹️
i've been there....weak and shaking i just open a can of anything... oddly satisfying though...so basic. 🙂
if he died be prepared for 2.5 years of a weekend at bernie's brought to you by the GOP confress, and approved by the supreme court.
i wouldn't be surprised if there were people who said "i grew up when there was polio and look at me, i turned out fine!!!"
possibly...it's an interstellar pedophile. what will it do when epstein doesn't answer its call?
i remember the all too brief show of support for healthcare workers...before people started figuring it's all a conspiracy and masks were unbearable (like...how do brain surgeons work without getting enough air to breath? an eternal mystery...) i remember when we uniformly respected teachers..
i think his time as mayor of sf sharpened his tongue and talons :-)
but..coal is soooo beautiful!!!! 😛
otherwise everything can be phrased in terms of "national security" and therefore anything can be done at any time. a stupid system begging for abuse by abusive people.
so..the executive wielding the power of congress (tax/tariff) at whim might be....illegal? shocks and gasps... if it takes six months to almost get to that realization and maybe six more to resolve it. we really have no laws or constitution at all. war powers should only be used when we're at war.
he's so predictable...he'll say the nobel prize is highly overrated and has been for a long time. 😁

does this count as laura supporting insurrectionists and therefore not being eligible for office?
they sure as hell wouldn't write a check to do "good". let's not forget who/what we're dealing with 😁
but here's the rub.... much like when conservatives say "if we put these X dollars to use for useful stuff helping people wouldn't that be better?" the trick is....they would never vote for a budget that did that. likewise, if the billionaires didn't fund a plagiarism black box....
oooh and the activity light! and hearing modems establish a connection...way more effective than i've ever been at it :-)
cooool 1 trillion in new revenue to the government controlled by the party of low taxes...because of course they are. a bill to a us importer to be paid to the usa sounds like a tax to me. and one that pops up without debate, and instantly. yup. gop's wet dream of democracy.
here's something they forget...if they think they have a "decent" gop local representative and vote for them, they ARE voting for trump to keep doing what he's doing. relying on personal character of each congressman obviously doesn't work. they will tow the line even if it's an anchor
well, always vote for the guy who promises the better economic/price outcome no matter how unbelievable or without solid foundation. that means keep voting gop until it works. also...the last 10 of 11 recessions have started under a gop president. i think another is coming.
i know it's not really mexican, but now and then i have a craving for taco bell (i remember those lunches during high school days...but i swear the burrito supreme was bigger...) and without fail, i always feel like i have a cannon ball in my belly afterward. worrisome.
if you want to do TRUE evil in the world, devils aren't the way to go, subvert an ultra lawful good organization. that'll give you most bang for the buck...and hopefully you'll also be rolling in gold because that's always a side benefit 😁☹️
so is your labor like our democrats? "if we're nice to the conservatives and try not to hurt their feelings they'll be nice to us and the world will be a better place" this works so well, all the time. 😁
keep an eye out for the incredibly rare and fabulous "alligaytors"
i wondered the same thing, i can see wanting energy if one has an abundance of fresh and salt water, but..why use it to desalinate water? i couldn't read the article because it required a sign-in...
but...is greene's district somewhere everyone's related to her? (and each other? 🙂)
that should bump the labor job stats in the right direction! yee haw!
it starts with an innocent tail....but before you know it we have elderly doc ocks wreaking havoc downtown!
but behind it all the motivation itself is not for america the country. reminds me of a corp job. i thought every director here is doing stuff for themselves in the name of the company...and slowly, by happenstance, something just might actually get done for the company.
unfortunately it doesn't require that he delves too deeply into the ramifications of what's actually good for america or negative side effects. also...since there's always the wiggle room of lying, there might be zero or a negative amount of good done for the country.
trump CAN/MIGHT do things for america, but only in that it gives him bragging rights. it's important that it sounds good...and so sometimes it might actually be good...but the motivation is to brag about it for politics and more importantly because that's his ego.
with my last breath i will appreciate the martian sky :-) oh wait am i there in a spacesuit? that'd be better...or better in a lounge on a base with a cup of earl grey! and little rectangular sandwiches
many people don't know this but.... many people say this... strong people. smart people. men with tears in their eyes say it. "sir...."
wow and elon must knows more about manufacturing than anyone else on the planet. what are the odds.... i don't think owning something equals mastery of that something... but there are certain brains that "think" that way "most people don't know..."
finally! a man who can identify an elephant on paper! now that's representing the people! (well, maga at least, and apparently much of the "undecideds" shocking, i know) 🙂
imagine a world where we said "if we attack the nazis are we not just as bad as the nazis? let's just see how things turn out...." 😁
well i suppose if *pressed* he'd say slavery is bad, but what i don't like is this notion seemingly conservative generally that patriotism is never saying, repeating, or remembering a bad thing about the country. there's a difference between slander and responsibility. they don't seem to know that.
it seems like it just moves the same action one more step away the the shell game of life. or maybe just do everything in crypto, but any steps are good steps. better than nothing and could pave the way for more adjustments in the future. (fingers crossed)
as long as the gop exists, he can't risk writing or saying anything that might piss them off because if they are back in power they will DEFINITELY not be mature about it (maybe that's their selling point to much of their base so how can they be blamed for acting like vindictive tantrum babies.
i remember a visiting professor from the uk who said that she thought it was interesting that our government has to defend spending so much on healthcare and in the uk they have to defend why they don't spend more. (a layer of insurance can absorb an infinite amount of money...)
only the stupid (or desperate) would trust the united states. even if we had an honorable president, every four years it risks being thrown out the window. why would anyone trust in that?
please, let's call it instead: self cooking shrimp also if you wait long enough it might suddenly become lobster! well, wishful thinking if anyone gets hurt the gop will say "see! fda is useless, let's get rid of it!"
later he determined it was probably fine. if left on my own i would not have gone to the ER, and if not for someone looking at something that wasn't the main reason for the image, i wouldn't have known about the lump. it's scary/awesome how everyone being extra diligent can catch things. (whew)
last year i went to the ER because a nurse thought i looked terrible. i thought it was due to a tooth infection, but they discovered a worse infection. they took a ct scan and treated me. but later someone saw a lump in the image and i went to an oncology surgeon to see if it was bad. six months
i would bet good money that in trumps twisted mind the only reason he hates epstein is from all the trouble he's causing. obviously he didn't care about the "other" stuff. "he likes'em young"? and this guy...america elected. gone are the days when spelling "potatoe" meant ridicule
if that was the real putin in alaska i'd imagine he went into a decontamination chamber on his plane right after meeting trump
the stuff he's already legally known to have done would have destroyed any politician in america of yesteryear several times over. what's weird is i could imagine it still doing so for other politicians (mainly due to the standards of their voter base)
not just the white house....never forget the party that supports his actions and power grabs in congress. they play a key role. that's why there's no such thing as voting for a "decent person" locally even if the party is treasonous. they'll be pressured to vote with the party the bigger the stakes.
no law against lying. i like free speech and all but as a country we already HAVE laws that limit lying in case we believe to be important. corp officials lying about their company (stock manipulation), food labels, commercials. why isn't it true about any official speaking about their organization?
he just needs more time to delete the files with more skill than the jail video was edited. this is the guy who asked a staffer to delete video of his documents room, so obviously he has no ethical qualms about destroying data. i believe he's counting on it. apnews.com/article/trum...
to be fair he'll also learn what items of value putin can make available for his discreet use. so it'll be a two way street. the art of the deal indeed... i'd imagine a dictator has many more options for discreetly paying people with billions than an honest democracy (our allies, not us 😛)
but is he a better friend than epstein? it takes a lot to get donald's admiration...but he has a knack for finding them and complimenting them. and since this is the second term, by extension so does every voter who voted for his party. their synergy is no secret to "surprise" anyone.
checks and balances have left the building....😁☹️
who are we to question the mysterious ways of god? if he wishes to open a door for a rapist..well, perhaps it's part of a bigger picture. that reasoning lets anyone get away with anything if they are in power. but thanks to the tree of knowledge didn't we learn the discernment of good vs evil?
i think everything is some form of "free speech" ...well, with the right lawyers and judges. 🙂
this guy sure has a lot of time and energy to take a special interest in companies and what they do with their money and who their ceos are, what museums are showing, how to extort law firms and any companies needing paperwork from gov agencies. i don't recall other presidents being such busybodies
too bad we have no laws...
when it mentioned punchable face i immediately thought of martin shkreli (pharma bro) 😁
algorithms could be used with population density maps and line length minimizing heuristics to create regions just based on that. it reminds me of using computers to try to find optimal component placements on a circuit board
i would prefer if there was a blue state official policy. if a neutral algorithm can be used to draw lines that are politically blind they will support and use it with the red states. (not a likely situation, but at least a firm promise/condition of how to get out of the cycle of gerrymandering)
i guess the extreme version of this would just be to cover the entire road so it can't be seen at all. if we did it with everything aliens who visit might think "oh...no cities...nothing to see here. tell the armada it's not worth taking over" 🙂
no wonder maga hates him...all those words and who can make heads or tails of his alien concepts? 😛
prisons should NEVER have been outsourced. who supported it? if i had to guess...conservatives loves outsourcing...best way to funnel some the tax money back to themselves in the form of "lobbying".
justice is a never ending story...which makes it not really justice at least for victims. ☹️ wonder how rudy's victims are doing trying to what's owed to them...i suspect that will never end too.
whip it good 😁
it's like watching people sawing at a branch they're sitting on.. and unfortunately i'm with them.
in america jail time never comes (for some) :-) alas i don't think you're one of the chosen, but on the bright side you'll probably wind up in heaven instead
so...i heard statistically crime is down in dc, but trump has a new crusade to enforce order there??? is it because dc doesn't have an entire state to back it up? if he really wanted to swing his big/tiny stick around google said that st louis, MO has the highest violent crime. he should try them😛
too bad "journalism" doesn't add such background information.... god forbid it sound like they're calling him a liar and it's safer for their companies if they don't engage in "political attacks". so...what if the person they're reporting on IS lying? just a minor flaw in the system 😛
seems like we have to look at and listen to anything BUT the victims. i'm not surprised this is how our justice system works even in normal time. now that it's got corruption on steroids who knows how ridiculous things will get. and the press will calmly report everything as if it's normal.
oops i just noticed mercury and venus are included. when aligned is everyone on the same side of the sun? i could imagine a straight line but necessarily the shortest path between planets
when they say align, do they mean from the pov of earth, or more like a solar system diagram...so like pov of the sun? hmm or from the gas giants' perspective is the difference from the earth to the sun pretty much the same line?
they were so good they sacked rome and rome didn't notice. "hey...do you know where my pile of gold is?" "i'm sure it'll turn up... but now that you mention it everyone seems to be forgetting where they left their stuff recently..."
i think this tendency to cast these people as somehow feeling regret or guilt is just projection of liberals of their own world views on everyone else. liars and criminals project, so do liberals. we need to stop deluding ourselves. they have NO problem "sleeping at night".
