I remember this stuff coming up in 2015 when there was talk about him running against Hillary. I’m amused but not surprised people are “suddenly” discovering this. It’s been out there for years. He’s handsy with women, always has been. It’s never gotten to the level where someone will press charges, but always been…

How big is that die-hard base really? The numbers show is approval it mid 30s - low 40s. Even assuming half that base are the full on, dyed in the wool, MAGA hat wearing loons that’s at best 20% of the electorate. How many will he lose when he crater’s the economy and they lose the jet-ski and the double wide? I think…
I can’t imagine another amphibious landing in modern times with peer states. With precision guided munitions, drones, ubiquitous remote sensing, there’d be no way for a force to gather and storm a beach where the enemy didn’t know it was coming and have time to prepare. If were talking about hard charging after…
I’m waiting for him to get so hyped up at a rally that he forgets where he is and starts dropping n-bombs or other racial slurs in the open. I keep thinking it’s only a matter of time.
I love how in one tweet Trump is declaring the FBI treasonous and in the next he’s demanding they investigate this.
Barbecue for you and your dog has a completely different meaning in China.
I travel to China often, and learning the simple courtesy words goes a long way with people. The only issue is Mandarin is a very tone specific language, so its hard for westerners to grasp the inflections to get it right. I typically meet with the same people every year and keep trying “sorry” and “excuse me” out…
If I went back in time to 2008 and told myself this is what was 11 years down the road (along with the Arrowverse, the Netflix shows, and the fact DC fucked the Justice League up something fierce) I’d have slapped me and called me a liar. Growing up a comic nerd in the 80's and the scorn heaped on us in the 90's,…
When the proposal to expand into Iraq came up, the Dems should have agreed, but only if we go on full war-time footing - rationing, victory gardens, the draft...you name it.
I can’t even imagine the shit-eating grin Jerrah must have in those meetings looking at Kraft. You’ve got to think Jerrah’s had a hand in decorating the place with orchids and putting plenty of Asian food on the menu (Cream of Sum Yung Guy?) just to stick it to one of his enemies.
The saying in our house was “don’t argue with a 3 year old. One of you loses and the other looks like a 3 year old.”
While you may think they need to be said, they are still out of the mainstream based not just on the screeds from politicians in the pocket of AIPAC but from constituents. She doesn’t deserve the hate, but when you push the boundaries as she’s done you have to expect push back. It’d be nice if people could thoughtfully…
Apple on its own could invest a negligible amount of money and essentially rebuild the entire news industry in an up-to-date, internet-friendly fashion, thereby saving local news and ensuring a steady supply of journalism for decades to come.
There are no secrets, just facts yet to be revealed. Assume everything you do will someday be splashed across the front page of the NY Times and see if it’s still a good idea.
I agree with your premise of “It’s their personal belief” but I also remember Kennedy getting hammered for being a Catholic and Ilhan Omar being called out by the same conservatives. Scumbaggery needs to be called out wherever it lies.
My wife has been an educator for 20 years teaching in both private schools and the poorest inner city districts in that time. She’s always said it doesn’t matter how much she loves and encourages the kids, if they go home to an abusive parent, drug use, and no food; they won’t be able to do their homework.
I was stationed in Maryland for a while. A local friend of mine was eating scrapple for breakfast and described it to me as everything that hits the slaughter house floor, ground into a loaf, baked, then deep fried and covered in gravy. I noped the hell out of that.
As a wise man once said “Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I won’t eat the filthy mutherfucker.”
