The very best thing about this moment, is that I don’t feel I have to be a slave to the news. It’s safe to ignore things here and there! Maybe focus on my own actual life!

The first days of a new Administration, just two weeks after an insurrection in the Capitol, with a still-raging pandemic and the former president heading for a second impeachment trial, hardly makes for a “slow news day.”

During the Glenn Thrush mess, the NYT issued a statement about their “no tolerance” policy on sexual harassment while also saying they will continue to employ Thrush even though he admitted to what he did.

I live here, and she’ll get elected.  People love Asa, but they’ll find a reason to turn on him as soon as she runs. 

Oh, Ted Cruz is an infinitely superior candidate. I mean, yes, he’s odious, reprehensible, and willing to sacrifice lives and peace and freedom for the sake of his own personal hollow vanity and ambition. But he’s also smart and experienced: Princeton (national debating champion); Harvard (law review editor); Supreme…

They know that Biden hasn’t been “working class”  for the vast majority of his adult life, right? Neither has Bernie, for that matter. You can’t have an honest discussion of class in america if you don’t fucking understand what constitutes a given class in the first place.

Johnny Cash was born in Arkansas.

Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Madison Cawthorne. Republican voters seem to really want to elect incompetent, hateful, lying a-holes these days. It truly is the Trump party now.

I want to start DM’ing her tips for getting into an affordable college on scholarships/grants/loans so she can get out of there and not have to be financially dependent on her parents once she does leave.

Oh, he’ll screw up, but even at his worst, he’s worlds better than Trump was. Trump was multiple stupid things daily.

Just wait until Joe Biden Joe Bidens and ends up working with McConnell at worst or pandering to Manchin at best. Then we can complain. Until then everyone needs to keep all eyes on Biden to keep him in line so he stays his current course and doesn’t move to the right. 

I was under the impression that the Conways were just craven - but calculating - jerks who were using the Republican party and Trump as a means to an end. When they both stepped back, I hoped (as an empathetic person) that they were going to legit do things to fix their family and their relationship with their…

Look out, Gohmert. Marjorie is coming for your dunce cap.

A wet fart is, indeed, a force of nature.

There’s no ‘probably’ about it, it is definitely cheaper to treat MH disorders than just locking them up in a private for-profit prison system.

GOOD.

Now if only these sorts of things were covered by some sort of nationalized health care so EVERYONE struggling had access to treatment, and not just people with rich friends. You know... like they do in most other 1st world countries with a GDP that’s a fraction of what ours is.

Those of us who have had loved ones with substance or mental health issues know that it’s not the end of the movie, but it is an encouraging snap shot of the progress he has made on his life-long journey. There might very well be setbacks but having a good support system in place makes it more likely that he will…

Glad to hear is working towards recovery. Keep strong friend. 

Cubes is a pretty good guy.  He could be way worse.
