Just remember. One of the angry puppets who yell and yell how the ‘liberal elites’ look down on you was getting paid $400,000 A MONTH TO TELL YOU THAT.

Five years ago today, Scout became the First Dog of Minnesota.   We like to say he rescued us as much as we rescued him.   Let this be your reminder that there are lots of pets out there waiting to find their forever homes!

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, biscuits and gravy at Bob Evans, and then down to the old Russian content factory to make six figures trashing America’s democratic institutions. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

It really is jarring to read Trump's comments as he actually delivers them vs. how they're eventually cleaned up in mainstream news outlets.

I’m past point of understanding why coverage of most abnormal candidate in US history is so bent on normalization. But there’s no argument anymore. They’re doing it. Even tho I’m sure they recognize disaster will befall their country if he’s elected. The why utterly baffles me.

Christopher Deutsch Or so they SAID... It just occurred to me that Sen Johnson is actually stupid enough that he might think the 1929 crash and first 2 first years of the Depression all happened during FDR's presidency.

I am old enough to remember when The New York Times* literally counted the number of nights Hillary & Bill Clinton spent apart leading up to her first presidential campaign. * Patrick Healy, for those wondering.

The reason this incident has caused a slight media re-evaluation of Trump's competence is because this forum did what media does not do: ask him for specifics, on anything, thus revealing his ignorance and spiraling infirmity. This is the result of media failure.

Didn't they say communes always end up being men sitting around the fire waxing poetic about socialism, while the women do the dishes

Upon Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Harris, I feel rather like Churchill did about Stalin, after Hitler’s surprise attack on the Soviet Union suddenly made them allies: “If Hitler invaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons.”

It's hard for me to think of anything as antithetical to the spirit of Tolkien's work as using AI to depict his stories. Like the Shadow, AI "can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own" and has more in common with the fires of Isengard and the Scoured Shire.
