…Keep Pressure on Rs in Congress” more correctly.

No good political news coming for the Rs. It’s just going to keep getting worse for them. Many many seats ripe for taking by Ds next fall. Trump will need to bail out before his third impeachment in 2027.

Do you ever have enough talent?

Of course it’s his idea - he only has stupid ugly ones.

A debate between this dope and Lutnick would be the rhetorical equivalent of a pillow fight. Clowns.

Thanks - I'll look forward to getting out there the next time. Should be some coverage coming up in the AJC in advance of the opening, I suspect.

Is this just a change to the museum at the foot of the walkup trail, or also the one in front of the carving?

Radio Classics channel on Sirius XM. When stuck awake at 4 AM, Johnny Dollar or Jack Benny is perfect.

He doesn't mean himself, of course.

In two weeks?

Fetterman is not getting reelected.

Is frightened of flying airplanes, as well as taking the subway now?

Trump knows nothing. He is the least well read president of all time, easily. He hasn't even read the books he "wrote".

Population gets a chance to age because we're not all breathing cig smoke and leader gas fumes all day.

And if you adjust for the pop size, the percentages all hold. People get a better chance to be healthier longer.

August 2001 was pretty good. So was early 2015. 2023 was nice.

People need to watch something like "The Apartment" and think about if that's an office environment they'd like to work in.

Because people are living old enough that cancer is what gets them.

Cancer is now getting detected much earlier; cancers that were certain killers at one time now have significant survival rates. It will only get better, as long as the morons get thrown out of office ASAP.

"two-income couples"; everything in the US is built around an assumption that every adult works outside the home full time - tax tables, daycare, housing. It's not good for kids. Now, Jerkface has shipped the immigrant labor home, people can't afford childcare; the whole things going to break.

Speaking as a gaming nerd who didn't know how to spend time with girls as a teen forty years ago - D&D (& all hobby gaming) is a lot better for guys when girls (& women) are interested.

(My daughter keeps crushing me every time I teach her a historical wargame - it's wonderful)

The question is - has the economic pain and government disfunction caused by having an insane president been sufficiently hung around the Rs electoral necks, that the right move is to try to reduce pain to people now? Or does it need to keep being reinforced?

As my wife says, "People forget."

I think the option is let the Rs eat the chaos coming Thanksgiving week, and see if they then panic on the results of TN-7 special on 12/2.

But it’s pretty clear the Ds aren’t taking the blame for the shutdown.

This is obscenely ugly.
November 10, 2025 at 12:32 AM
I don't believe this. Ossoff has these R clowns in GA on the ropes. He needs to hold tight.
November 9, 2025 at 9:50 PM
"privately senators...". Which ones? Graham? Thune? Fetterman?

I sincerely doubt my guys Ossoff and Warnock are in on this.

I said in January it was going to take til next July, because it was going to take midterm polling to push him out. I stand by that; we're on pace.

This woman is weird.

So, who do the John Calhoun and Wade Hampton statues in the Capitol get swapped out for? Robert Smalls, clearly. Pat Conroy? Bernard Baruch?
