I bet some part of Trump’s internal toddler is kicking itself for not getting into politics sooner. Not one of the ‘business ventures’ you listed had a reasonable expectation of success. They all require understanding, planning, logic and not one of them will bend to the will of a spoiled man-baby. But politics? That’s…

Sure is a whole lot of peace in that there middle east now isn’t there.  Thanks Jared.  Good job, now go get a Fresca and chill.

So how in the ever-lovin’-Christ-on-a-pogo-stick do I get a new, reliable pickup that does not cost more than the down payment on my house? Oh, and doesn’t make me look like an instant bro douche afraid to not drive an armored, mechanized penis?

This is a trap set for workers of all sorts, and it’s been used over and over again. All you need to do is convince the worker that it’s possible to beat the odds, to be the one who gets the killer tips/commission/account/etc. Your boss tells you that you get paid X but your earning potential is really without limit.…

Isn’t this what the NSA does? They vacuum up everything first.  Then they sort and process.

“in record droves” is a really awkward construction. It essentially says we have recorded their deaths over the years and the unit of measure is droves (rather than numbers). What would have been wrong with the time-tested “in record numbers” ?  I supposed it did make me read though.

We also have a gut-level reaction to poverty - that it’s contagious - so don’t hang around those people.

I hate that Steve Martin obscenity-fest scene. It was useless. It did nothing to advance the story. All it did was make me think the character was a dick - at a helpless cashier - who must still attend to his supremely privileged needs. She should have called security and had him removed. Then let him rant about the…

I vote for cockroaches. They never really hurt anyone and they’re notoriously friendly, even on 4chan.

Fair enough.  I get captivated by my own dull cleverness sometimes.

Reminds me of a job application I saw back in the day - entry level of course - that asked for a candidate who had three years of experience in ASP (told you it was a while back.) That was longer than the ASP language had been available at the time.

Yeah.  I’m sure no one would be crazy enough to tie those ideas together, right?!??

Challenge accepted. Crazy hat engaged.

Just had an interesting thought. So they put Martha freakin’ Stewart in jail for a very white-collar crime. But we all know the justice system will simply make Rudy here a bit uncomfortable for a while. Why is that? It’s because Martha was (mostly) liked. We expected better from her. But this guy? If you’re within 20…

I believe you have clearly defined a culture war.

The fools bargain is always the same. “It promised to eat me last. Pretty good deal.”

When the only tool you have is an AR 15 ...

Yeah, I saw the alternate definition too but wasn’t sure it would come across. Clarity is always a challenge with writing. Language is a slippery critter.

Hi Tom. Not trying to find fault but I think your statement “Republicans in the Arizona Senate—obsessed with vindicating Donald Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 elections” is not accurate. This would mean the people who called for the Cyber Ninja (ug) investigation want to prove Trump’s loss was correct - to…

True. And being really awful at everything is actually on brand for the Trumps, Florida and the current version of the GOP.
