Mr. Spock to Trump:

“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few… or the one”.

Trump to Mr. Spock:

“You are being deported under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798”.

Green Bay obviously preparing for the playoffs. Rest people. Heal injuries. Excellent move!

RIP Rob Reiner. What a marvelous human being. I was 16 when “All in the Family” debuted. He has been a thicker thread in the fabric of my life.
His movies! I’m not qualified to say more than they probably changed the lives or direction of untold numbers.

Over the years I’ve occasionally used the insult “Trump sucks donkey”. Now I hear about a horse named Bubba. You can’t really make this shit up.

I am so impressed by the Chinese people. When you have 1.5 billion people you are bound to have some heavy thinkers. Has anyone ever tried to treat China as an equal? Who amongst us can discount or minimize the need for trusted and fair competition between the most powerful countries in the world?

I’m nobody special. Just your average every day American mutt. However, I’ve lived in this nuthouse for 70 years so I think that gives me the right to comment.

We very well may be fucked.

That’s my considered comment.

Someone, please reassure me that there’s no way the Kennedy Center will be renamed after Melania Trump. Please!

Don’t you just hate people that tell the truth in private, then lie in public?

My gas went from $2.46/gal to $2.96/gal in one day! I guess gas prices aren’t going down.

There are 2 teams left with only one loss in the NFL.
In the american football conference the Colts reign supreme, however, in the national football conference the Green Bay Packers are the team to beat. Right, Aaron?

I need to know what is worse than bearing your soul and being rejected. I guess it’s just another time to scrape myself off the dirt and realize no one was here to help me.

Am I the only one that thinks Latinos For Trump makes about as much sense at Puppies For Noem?

Why is the party of “family values” so hellbent on destroying families?
October 12, 2025 at 9:55 PM
We are always expected to play by the rules, while Republicans are always expected to break them. I’m sick of taking the high road while the opposition scurries below us to steal the prize.
It’s time to play as dirty as they do until they agree to follow the rules.

Could we start a gofundme to allow his entire family to move with dignity to another decent country (more decent than ours). I’m betting we could raise a couple million in a day of two.

Greatest Songwriting Duos

1) Ulvaeus-Andersson
2) Lennon-McCartney
3) John-Taupin

I give the edge to Ulvaeus-Andersson as they were also incredible music producers.

Anyone have any other duos?
