The GOP: Digging a new bottom every fucking day.

Conservative ideology is one of the most horrible things to ever infest the human spirit.

I bet the Ds do vote for that 50 billion. They excel at caving. We have one party that is destroying the country while the other party wrings their hands and talks about compromise with the traitors.

"acting like?" They are in a cult.

Yup. He was a brilliant and, more importantly, good person.

As always.

It starts with N and ends with UKE, and it ain't a ukulele.

Trying to control the optics is as old as journalism.

I'm not sure they're foolish. I am sure they are evil.

It's a mortal sin to try to bring about the end times. That's trying to interfere with God's plan, which is one way to commit the sin of pride.

I know more about their mythology than they do, and I'm (at best) an agnostic.

May it end today.

I wish.

I wish. For all of my lifetime, an atheist may as well not bother to run for office in the US. They'll never win.

Right there with you. As a (retired) writer and editor (and software developer), I really want an edit button, because nothing makes me crazier than my own mistakes.

The exact reverse is true: The presence of evangelicals anywhere reduces, if not eliminates, my trust.

If so, can we get a change in management?

Cool.

I hope you get in and out of DIA without trouble. It has come to suck so much that I now avoid it. It was nice when it was new, but, as with many things in the US, maintenance is overlooked.

They serve nicely to identify assholes - rather like Tesla trucks. I wonder how close to a circle the Venn diagram of those two is.

For folks who don't know, @samwang.bsky.social runs the Princeton Election Consortium, which calculates various things about US presidential elections. I've followed his writings for more than a decade now. We could really use a thoughtful person who values data in congress. Please support Sam!

If you restrict comments on your posts to only people who follow you, I will block you. Allow conversation or go away.

Correct interpretation: US joins Russia, China in being a PoS country that threatens the rest of the world.

If there are any good people on the inside, some interesting things can be done there, too:

Slow-walk one of those administrative warrants.
Set a radio one setting off (or transpose two digits in a frequency).
Talk your co-workers into quitting.
Spread distrust.
Be incompetent in a friendly way.

As I've said often lately, I literally will not be surprised when he nukes someone.

Not to worry. The Greedy Old Perverts will pull out all the stops to steal the election.

Cuellar is an R in a D seat. I hope we can get rid of him this time.
