I miss the days when you didn't need an MIT degree to post pictures. I have one in mind but not two hours to post it.

I think he understands that the likelihood of winning is well below 50/50 now, and it's not worth his effort. NC often elects Democrats to statewide office, even though its heavily gerrymandered legislature grants a Republican about 1.2 times as much representation as a Democrat. And 2026 is shaping up to be a wave year given how unpopular the Big Bill is, and how its effects will likely be very visible next year as millions are thrown off Medicaid and rural voters piss and moan about their reduced subsidies (from blue urban taxpayers).

This is going to end up inspiring, maybe even be the scenes of, horror movies.

There will be lots of firings in January of 2029, presuming a Democrat wins. Civil Service protections are out, and they shouldn't go back in until the damage has been remediated. Then the GOP may be willing to sign a treaty that can prevent the re-politicization of federal employment.

Frankly, I don't care what RFK gets wrong. This is such a stupid non-scientific and ideological bullshit "debate."

That was a tribute to an enduring human spirit. This quotation near the end of the piece seemed to summarize the message. “The essential things in life are freedom, solidarity and respect for every human being.” As some people say, "May their memory be a blessing." Big Al

@wtg said in Ice cream: Coffee Almond Fudge That sounds yummy! I’ve had other Tillamook but I don’t think I’ve had this one. Nor have I ever tried a vegan ice cream before. But this is definitely the time to get some ice cream, whatever the variety!

So they have a “debt ceiling” too, the “Schuldenbremse.” I did not know that before.

I almost barfed this morning watching the press conference with Hegseth. Dear Leader redux.

I love that the kiddo is nestled in all that soft stuff on top of the piano.

I want their negotiator to work for me when needed.

You will never live a job as much as those dogs love theirs.

Worked for us! We drove up to sit in a bunch of patio furniture to figure out what felt best.
