Spiritual isn't at all the right word for me.

I prefer 'A romantic in reference to matters of reality.'
We are now at the point where Republicans are for massive taxes on big businesses.

Its. A. Cult.

The artist didn't always think it through back then.

ie. Superman needs to be bitch-slapped here.

Oh, no, that only applies in a proper nation with a rule of law.

We're not that. Not any longer.

"American Christianity and the Orange Calf"

Been looking for a pithy turn of phrase to succinctly describe what has happened.

This'll do nicely, thank you.

Sadly, I think this was a cynical calculation in the Dem leadership decision to end the shutdown with nothing gained.

And yes, it was the Dem leadership's decision. The six that pulled the trigger were just the tools to conceal it.

The fake "Its because of AI" lies died down pretty quickly.

Ie. Yankee Candle just announced store closures and layoffs of hundreds of people, 10% of its professional and clerical workforce just before the holidays with a stark "Oh, yeah, its because of the tariffs."

But we were SO desperate to see our superheroes on screen that we didn't miss an episode.

Challenge of the Superfriends was a huge leap forward, but was still lame.

Because some of us are political junkies who also love seeing what others have to say about comic books.

I'm also likely to look into people's posts on Android, history, Kobo readers, sci-fi and a bunch of other stuff. We're versatile. 😉

He said she believed they should be there for the crime problem in DC.

Then, when the Guard troops were assaulted, they had to call actual police, making her wonder why the Guard was even there.

Yeah, exactly. Because she was a SOLDIER. She didn't have a purpose there.

She died because of this.

Oh THAT was the line?

Making fun of handicapped people, bragging about sexual assault, calling female reporters pigs, telling supporters to assault protesters, extorting Ukraine, taking bribes from... everyone, real estate fraud and ad infinitum...

None of THAT was enough but THIS is the line?

Its no secret that her marriage and her participation as the First Lady is negotiated at each stage, as needed.

Bezos clearly agreed to pick up the bill for her participation this term in exchange for good grace from the notoriously transactional guy now in charge of the anti-trust regulators.

"recreating the failures and terrors of their homelands."

Yeah, um, have they SEEN the United States lately...?

Yeah...weak troll is weak.

And, and this is the important part, are brave enough to speak truth to power.

He, himself a coward, is relying on the press corp being as cowed as they have been. He's repeatedly been shown to lose his composure when he's faced with those that won't be.

Hear, hear.

I've learned not to trust anyone that has a Bible on display.

Of course he did.

Read your 1984.

You can't convince people 'War is Peace' if your own government is publishing data to the contrary.
November 28, 2025 at 4:13 AM
Oh, you're a silly troll.

Noted. Thanks.

Way too much time has been spent "trying to understand what they are saying...truly HEAR them"

Screw that. Turns out they're just idiots. Time to laugh, publicly at them for voting to lose their rural hospitals, their farms, their medical insurance, affordable food.

They did this. They are fools.
