I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but “like a bull in a china shop” always makes me make a short mind movie.

What’s yours?

How could I know your favorite idiom?

Maybe that’s how m ivanka meant it … “don’t trust my dad’s denials, guys!”

Deviant don.

… but they probably won’t, and the cycle continues after the holidays. Is it really better to make that many people suffer more than they will with unaffordable healthcare?

I’m all for primarying every candidate all the time, though. Its dumb incumbents are often run unopposed.

I really don’t get this take .. “caving” or “surrendering” … it’s a CR until January, SNAP gets an increase, federal workers aren’t fired and get their back pay. Real people were going to have food insecurity on a scale we were not prepared to handle. Republicans have a chance to address the ACA …

You’re probably right, but I know enough people looking into the abyss of not having financial assistance or a paycheck from government work going in to winter that this brief respite (til January, right?) is going to make their lives a little easier.

To be clear, I don’t think the Epstein files will be as clear and criminal as the rumor mill is claiming.

But congress has a lot to do, and if they drag their feet after a CR passes it will look bad on the Republicans.

Oh that’s not true, they got the republicans to pinky swear they will address the healthcare issue.

I made it with ai because I got tired of writing it. Lol.

To the people Trump cares about (that is people he wants desperately to love him) he has done gangbusters for the economy. Crypto and stock market manipulation are going great.

The fact that people he has no regard for things talking to them is just a Republican tradition at this point.

Just to be clear - Californians were asked if they approved a new map and they voted yes, but other states just did it and that was allowed by the Supreme Court?

If Mamdani doesn’t live up to his promises -or turns out to be lying - he will lose his support. He is riding a movement not firming a cult.

Typo was not my fault. Autocorrect can’t spell his name yet. I had it right.

Or else what?

Or else they’ll have until Thursday, or next month, or maybe someone will write a terse letter.

And a bunch of mindless jerks. Echoes constantly.

Me: imagining a world where I wasn’t allowed in the sewage that is the internet. I think I’d be ok.

We used to say the same thing in the late 90s btw, just shift the dates down a decade or two.

The people will blame whomever they are told to blame by those they’ve chosen to blindly follow.
