I go outside and walk in nature. It’s much nicer than being in an echo chamber or an asshole amplifier.
How about a “DARPA dividend”?
Does anyone remember the “peace dividend”?
A side by side comparison with Reagan quotes would be an interesting study of the way they have been evolving the language and messaging to be able to artfully say this kind of crap out loud.
It right out of the “bussing/welfare queen” playbook these twits have been peddling for decades.
Instead of being yanked by the Trump “squirrel!” trick. Step back and chill
Remember how Mexico was going to pay for the wall? 🙄So why is everyone running around with their hair on fire now? Trump hasn’t even been inaugurated yet! The buffoon is a blowhard and he loves to watch his enemies bleat and run in to each other. Get it? That’s the schtick. Wanna be woke? Wake up to the stupid trick. Wanna be effective? Start implying he’s weak every time he says something. Look at how he is responding to Musk trying to assert himself. Donnie doesn’t want to lose control.
@heidilifeldman No use pointing out every piece in a flood of garbage.
I’ll stand my ground and fight, thanks. I’m not running away from these weenies.
Yes!! The only evidence we need to concern ourselves with is why it is that 11 million people that showed up for Biden in 2020 didn’t show up for Harris in 2024. There is nary a peep about this hard fact. Nada. Nothing. I hear a lot of explanations about stupidity and fascism and, oh yeah, dumb rednecks. But I don’t hear any explanations for why 11 million people didn’t show up. Perhaps that requires a level of self reflection beyond pure emotion 
Dang! I I thought “I” was old😉😃
Happy Birthday to Kurt Vonnegut! Sleep tight as best you can 😊

We Californians have been hearing that said about our state since 1977 when Anita Bryant pulled herself out of obscurity and discovered gay bashing could become a thing.
Hmmm. I unearthed my face from the iPhone this morning and looked out the window. To my surprise the world had not ended! Maybe I should spend more time looking at the actual world instead of trafficking in the imagined worlds of a billion people with their heads buried in their iPhones?
Naaaahhhh...
I think the glaring issue to grapple with is the fact that Trump didn’t get that many more votes in this election than in 2020. The key question for me is why Harris received approximately 11 million less votes than Biden. That’s a dramatic drop. What changed? If liberals don’t unflinchingly self-reflect on why the drop occurred we’re doomed to repeat our mistakes again and again.
Jiu-jitsu liberal. Couldn't drink well enough to be a writer or a lawyer. Became a stoned philosopher instead. Sometimes pay the bills.
