So what are the odds that Trump has carved his initials somewhere on the Resolute Desk?

Dogs can catch the disease but seem to have few symptoms, however, one of the earliest documented cases did die from it. The scarier fact is that cats are apparently VERY vulnerable to COVID infection, but seem to show no symptoms at all and fortunately there are no known cases of transmission to humans - but the…

Meanwhile, the NY Times has just published Trump’s tax returns for the past twenty years. He never paid more than 750 dollars in any year, and in most years paid nothing because he claimed he lost money.

I’ve been suggesting that asterisk be put on his tombstone for years now. In fact, I now believe there should be three. One for being elected by a minority of voters, one for being successfully impeached, and one for causing the death of 200,000 Americans through sheer cowardice and trying to avoid ridicule. I pity…

If the survey doesn’t come back with extraordinarily high marks, it has no marketing value, which a lot of automakers use to help justify the cost of developing and running the service. Otherwise, they would be entirely at the mercy of third party services like Consumer Reports, over whom they have no influence at…

Obama had spent seven half years fighting a Senate who successfully blocked EVERY single piece of legislation he publicly backed, solely out of spite. They swore they would do that the week he took office, and they never broke ranks. There was no way in hell they would have approved any Justice who wasn’t a…

If she had retired under Obama, we would have lost a strong liberal justice to be replaced by a more moderate one. Inserting a truly liberal justice would have cost the Democrats not only the Senate, probably a larger chunk of the house, too, and guaranteed that Hillary would have lost the popular vote, as well.

If the GOP Senate rushes to approve an appointment, they’re going to lose the Senate now, and probably not get it back for a decade or two. If they agree to wait and see how the election goes, their odds of keeping the senate might go up - they’ll just have to rebel against Trump to do it. My guess is that they will…

If the republicans don’t honor that idea after they way they swore by it last time, vote EVRY LAST ONE OF THE FUCKERS OUT.

So he’s proposing teaching schoolchildren American History as it was taught in the 1970's.

I’ve always wondered: You have the right to carry guns in public (with a license), but other than that, what can you do with it in public - outside of when someone is threatening your life? You can’t shoot it. Maybe you could teach a class about it. Figure out how to use it like a fork. But in several states, even…

Kentucky GOP Congressman Thomas Massie defended accused Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse, saying he showed ‘incredible restraint’ in shooting 3 people.

Well, I can’t argue about that.

Check out AllTrails.com . Might not be the best source for runners, but a darned thorough map of outdoor trails near you.

I live in Texas. I never hear about such idiocy in other states except when it’s coming from their governor or maybe a big city mayor. Here, I see it all the time from every level of state government, ever since George Dubya Shrub was Governor and Molly Ivins was watching our backs. They rarely get fired for it,…

Not my work, but it deserves to be spread around.

Details published in a different forum. The sad part is that even though I’m a civilian, I remember every single one of these things happening. It’s astounding that anyone in the military backs him.
