This, a hundred thousand times. When I look back at the past 60-70 years, all the key times are behind us to further equality, strengthen infrastructure, enact sweeping positive-impact environmental legislation, nationalize health care, implement fully-paid parental leave, reproductive rights policies, so on and so…

Cutting-edge transportation theory. For the 18th and 19th centuries.

Agreed. And I love Warren with all my heart—she’s my policy front-runner hands down.

Given the plethora of private methods of communication he favors (buttery males), getting this orange malignancy to cut ties with the Russians—or anyone else in the diplomatic realm he deems indisposable—will be damn near impossible.

Fair enough on that interpretation. My ex-MIL is.....yeah. Better boundaries with the future/ex-in-laws were a mandate for round 2. Mr. ex/future BobHopesSexMachine has never shared her political bent, thank god/the universe/FSM/etc.

“Have you SEEN-uh the DOW? Have you SEEN-uh the booming auto industry? More people are working than in history! Unemployment is the lowest in 50 years!”

His constituents are very proud of him. My ex-MIL* unapologetically supports him and all his bad takes, essentially justifying him as being “misunderstood”. She was a science and math teacher for years in Des Moines public schools.

When in doubt, monetize and capitalize on conflict. Oh, and anything that can make a buck off the poor and keep nationalized health care at bay.

Maybe, just maybe the Israeli government shouldn’t commit human rights atrocities while raking in hundreds of millions of dollars from the US to do so, and then attempt to adopt the victim role.

But think of the potential of tone-deaf. Her next round could be something like this: Sparkle-Heart-Star-Hannibal Lecter

97% certain that pair of clown shoes is Tomato. I’m oddly elated that he references the Twin Cities: no shortage of insufferable misogynistic Bernie bros (see the Venn diagram overlap between self-professed white male “progressives” up here and Trump voters) in these parts. Which means there is a statistically…

And I see a lot of them ungreyed. Would love to know who is happily letting them into the black, comment by comment.

I’m certain someone else beat me to this, but don’t wear IKEA upholstery as a suit. In general, don’t wear upholstery or furnishings unless you’re Carol Burnett.

Well said. My biggest problem with Bernie is that he refuses to acknowledge how he represents the establishment in so many ways while having very few (key word, implying a minority of) policy stances that run counter to it. In addition to exaggerating his role in and respect for key leaders of the civil rights…

Duly noted that support for a white, millionaire man is support for a white millionaire man. Not a vote against the establishment, in other words.

As a focus group of one, we’ve had our own love of power-tripping since the first colonizers arrived in N. America. It’s semi-enlightened dumb luck that pushes for equality or rights ever entered the mix. We seem to love a “strong” leader, as long as that leader embodies whatever the populace wants. Which is entirely…

First time I was ever in Paris was also over a Bastille Day back in 1992. Fell in love with the Parisian Bastille Day buoyancy. In talks with the ex about a Paris trip July 2020 since it’s been about 7 years since my last visit and he’s never traveled to France. Seeing the cathedral in a year will be surreal.

I think I love you. Well played.

Or simply drop the 15 tons of water directly on him. Surely he has the stamina to survive 15 tons, having saved energy in his body battery by not exercising.

You would think a man who has been tangentially involved in the development/construction business might know, oh, a few basics about the properties of construction materials.
