Also, “pleased to welcome”?! It’s a fucking memorial to a continuing disaster on his watch, not a dancing with the stars tour.

Eh worst thing that happens with her, in his mind and to his base, is that he comes off like a porn star-fucking stud. Putin and his ilk, however, play the long game and fuck with nerve agents.

Still, the dangling threat—that at any moment the American people could read a sentence or three describing the shape, size, and constitution of Trump’s genitalia—should somehow feel worse, but strangely, does not.

It’s completely irrelevant, but his name always makes me think of some kind of fish species. I have to start reading the article to remember he’s a tech dude.

GROSS.

I swear that Trump’s only talent is managing to consistently find the most vile possible person for the job.

If you feel so strongly for farmers then stop subsidizing big Agra, you twat.

I hear you on all of that. I live in a rural village and there are a series of potholes that have turned into a ten foot long crater(no joke) on the only road up to the city. This time of year I don’t like to take any route that I haven’t mentally mapped out all the places I’m potentially going to bust an axle and the…

This exactly. I live in WNY along the canal, and every single bridge failed inspection for miles in both directions years ago and have sat barricaded ever since. There is generally one bridge open per town/village, and god help you when the rain comes and everything floods because you might be driving 15 miles to the…

I’m asking here because it is the nightly political forum. It should have gotten its own post hours ago.

from our local paper:

Are you all really going to not mention Louise Slaughter’s passing, or did I miss it somehow?

Seeing as most of the highest ranking officials are older senior citizens it seems perfectly reasonable.

This is exactly the truth. I live in a poor rural community and the speed at which people are willing to shit on their neighbors for receiving assistance is astounding.

Maybe, maybe not, but we’ll never know. It’s going to be baby steps as nothing sweeping is going to happen all at once, and passing it in that manner did nothing to facilitate forward movement. It also opens the door to pass legislation on other issues in the dead of night. It’s not the way to do shit.

However it was done in the dead of night with no formal input from constituents, which is a bad precedent to set when passing any kind of legislature. Probably 85% of the houses in my village have signs in their lawns demanding its repeal, and there is no way in hell those people are willing to work with the…

While it isn’t even remotely the same as what is depicted and implied in that mural, I went to a high school where the homecoming pep rally featured a large pallet fire with a dummy wearing the uniform of the next day’s opposing team hung in effigy in the center.

I’d never thought about it quite like that, but you’ve hit the nail directly on the head.

“He said that one day I would end up here, and if I ever end up at the Oscar to honor my people.”

It feels more ongoing than just the last couple of days. I live on the east coast and was lucky enough to just be buried under several feet of snow, which we are used to so it was thankfully mostly a nonissue, and not lose power.
