Ms. Lower, I think it’s a sorry comment on the abilities of the average American reader that you felt it necessary to explain how to calculate increasing something by 50%. But we should enjoy this state of affairs while we can. Once Betsy Devos has been in office three years, it will be necessary to explain to the…

Wow, what an amazingly pointless piece of garbage.

Cornell’s friends and family have my sympathy.

Drumpf is guilty of treason because he is waging war against the US on behalf of Russia. Drumpf is engaged in a program to destroy the US Federal government. He is doing everything he can to destroy government authority over anything except being hateful to dark-skinned people. This is the payoff he agreed to when he…

Fixed the headline for you.

What the hell could anyone expect? The White House is occupied (almost in the military sense of the word) by a traitor-in-chief who, like Mussolini and Stalin and the other dictators he has publicly admitted he admires, values nothing in his subordinates but blind, unthinking personal loyalty. He couldn’t care less…

What is not mentioned here is the fact that American journalists were excluded from that meeting. The traitor-in-chief allowed a Russian propaganda organization to take pictures with him inside the White House, and he excluded American newsmen who might ask him questions he doesn’t like. There can be no clearer sign…

Bullshit squared and cubed. The only thing Trump wants to is have his ass kissed. He’s a fucking overgrown spoiled brat who thinks the world owes him anything he wants and he desperately needs to have it kicked up around his neck. He’s still campaigning because he’s an arrogant, egomanical blowhard braggart who has…

This is precisely why I love the English. They prove Lord Buckley was right when he said “In England you can get away with the God damndest nuttiness as long as you’re polite about it.”

What is this “one of the” shit in your title? A tiny handful of planes took off from a “runway” that was less than half the length they would normally use and was heaving up and down, to make a flight so long that even with extra fuel aboard there was a good chance that any engine problems could cause them to crash…

The “carriers are too vulnerable” crowd always talk about how a carrier could be replaced by a crowd of smaller vessels. Really? And just how many modern jet fighters can you launch AND RECOVER from a flight deck built on top of a destroyer hull? How in hell are you supposed to conduct effective naval air operations…

I am praying that this laughable failure is a sign that some traces of spine, sanity, and human decency are beginning to worm their way back into the cancerous ooze into which the Republican party has degenerated. But they sure do have a long way to go.

I think it may be a hopeful sign because for once, we have a clear…

This just guarantees the bill will pass. Texas politicians? Those shit eating shitkickers will vote for it just to give the finger to the protesters. Their childish need to “prove” that they’re grownup big boys who won’t let women boss them around will drive their balls up where their brains are alleged to be.

Just broken or missing shock absorbers. Used to see that all the time on farm trucks.

This shows the difference between real capitalism and the fakeass crony “capitalism” that has taken over the defense of this country. Norwegian companies design their missile systems to be attractive to potential buyers because they deliver good value for the cost. American companies design their missile systems to…

You think the ragheads haven’t thought of that? That drone could have been intended to draw fire so they can see how small an object the Patriot system can detect. Dime will get you a dollar that by this time next month we see something that proves this was a live fire test by people who had exactly the same idea as…

Well, yes. Technically, you can eat it. You can eat rocks if you prepare them properly. To prepare armadillo:

So she was “counseled”? Given the Traitor in Chief’s proclivities, I have to wonder if that means grabbed by the pussy.

Someone opened a window and allowed a slight breeeze of reality into the procurement process. It will slammed shut the second the CEO of Lockheed decides he needs another megayacht.
