I realize too often that my eyesight has left many of my comments made without cheater glasses looking like I wrote them from deep in my cups.

So a drag queen reading "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is corrupting kids, but being forced to display the 10 Comandments and explain to first graders what "adultry" and "coveting your neighbors wife" mean does not?

You've got to hand it to Bone Spurs... the spotlight fell off him, he had a quiet temper tantrum, and got it back on him.
Not that it was difficult to get people to not care about a pharmaceutical exec, but I have no idea if this guy is alive, in repair, or what.

Yes! Being poor is not a character flaw. More likely it is a sign that your ancestors were kinder than those who became generationally rich.
There is a character flaw with a person who will watch people starve so he can gain more. Ugly in every way.
Never underestimate the beauty of kindeness.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Nobody would be surprised that Trump would so this. From the symbolism of a system rigged for him to the obstruction of "LIBERTY," there is nothing about this that doesn't reek Trump's self-important autodefication.

RFK, Jr running like a 6th grader home alone for the first time and the light flickers, and Donny Thin Skin throwing a "if I can't see you you're not here" temper tantrum just brings it all home.
