I just finished watching all 27 seasons of the fantasy show Law & Order SVU, where justice is actually meted out to the rapists and pedophiles. If only it were real life.

Someone explain Lindsey Graham to me. He says he wants to do away with the ACA because the insurance companies are making too much money. How does doubling or tripling someone’s premiums reduce insurance company profits? Am I missing something here?

I’m thinking that in a few years lots of lawyers will get rich on the asbestosis and mesothelioma claims and the defense thereof. Who will be on the hook for the settlements? Us?

Per Rick Knecht on Facebook: “The Nunalleq site got hit hard by last weekend's typhoon, losing at least 60 feet to the sea. Much of this area hadn't been excavated yet and artifacts have been scattered for miles down the beach. Many thanks are due to the good people of Quinhagak who have recovered⬇️

Some of the Alaska Native corporations (looking at you, NANA) need to get their priorities straight. They should be helping their fellow Alaskans instead of making huge profits on detention centers.

We’re flying back to Alaska tomorrow after a two-week vacation in Montana, western Dakotas and northeast Wyoming. We saw one ranch in North Dakota that had Trump flags about every hundred feet along the fence line next to the highway, but that was the only indication that Trump even existed. ⬇️

In the interest of fairness, I’ve watched some of these CK reels on FB. That guy was a bully, and I don’t understand why the Right is idolizing him. But then I don’t understand why they voted for Trump either. It makes no sense.
