Think of how screwed up their morals are that they willingly lie day after day, all in greedy pursuit of that nirvana of million dollar salaries.

Xi's gotta be thinking, "Are you serious?? My intelligence agents could tell you which Secret Service agents were involved with the planning, and what time on Tuesdays they met....."

This is kind of funny. They hate brown skinned people, but want to be in charge of Mexico and Cuba??!!

I hate fantasy football, because I hate rooting for players that I don't want to be rooting for. But my HS buddies wouldn't take no. So I offshored it to my SIL. Last year, we had the first pick, so I thought he was going to school them, but he took Saquon...

What they have at times is high IQ, though perhaps a better description is they are good at 0's and 1's. But what they virtually never have is a high EQ, a trait that is considered more important in leadership. Anyone combining 'elite' with 'most capable' is waving the "my EQ score is low" flag.

That would have been both good and bad for me. I actually would have had far better grades. But far lesser friends.

This graphic is older, but I recently checked the numbers — they haven't greatly changed. Think about it. We're ALL centrists and ALL progressive at once, including R's on half the issues. It's just the GOP has forced the branding on us. Which is to say try to be inclusive, because we'll need it.

Maybe they should ask Americans about all the centrists — 58% to 94% on all topics, and over half of R's on eight — that want these progressive or DSA policies, per polling. (The polling in the graphic is older, but most of today's polling is within two to three points.)

Are you kidding??? The BBC is asking for phone and text records of Trump's children, because they believe there could be incriminating information. And since most of us assume there would be, there's about 110% chance that Trump will drop the case, before allowing the BBC to gain access.

If a voter's first choice has been defeated in a primary, then any self-respecting voter will vote for a previous "enemy" to prevent an even worse candidate from winning. They will not create a test so they can feel good about their purity as Rome goes down in flames.

I knew there was more to the story. This guy is such a man's man that there was no way he was going to cower in a roach coach. He was going to tell Americans to fight fight fight against Iran. Turkish intelligence thinks Israel fabricated the story to scuttle a U.S. peace deal.

Because it sounds more like communism to me, I wonder whether they modified parts of Marx's manifesto to line up with their credo on life?

That's how many tiimes he's mentioned in the released files. According to Rep. Jamie Raskin, he did a search of the unredacted files and saw Trump's name over one million times.

That's why I use two accounts. I've recorded MP3's from my CD's, but my daughters told me about similar switches like you mentioned, so I refuse to allow Apple to do their music sync. But I wanted access to Apple Music to be able to hear a new artist's music, so I log in under my wife's name.

I used to coach soccer. The rule is whether someone's offsides materially affected the play, and I'd say engaging with a defender as a semi pick, then putting one's self offsides as a result, was material. I can see the side judge having his view blocked, but not VAR missing it.

Let's use our words. Pass went to center in front of the net, then deflected off the defender to the left. The goal scorer had been in contact with same defender about 1/2 to 3/4 of a second before the pass. It's ref's opinion, but nothing wrong with what I said. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5Jd...

Actually, the pass was to the middle and grazed off the US player's head, then went to the left — fortunate for Turkey. And I'm aware it's a judgement call on whether an offside player is relevant, but he had just ran into the box and made contact with the defender. That seems part of the play.

I was having difficultly last night getting a clean look, but here's one a millisecond after the pass. He was definitely offsides. My question is I thought they go to video on goals, so I don't understand why this was allowed.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
Regardless of the defense, I don't understand why this wasn't called for offsides. He was clearly behind all players when the pass was made, although it does appear it was going to the player about four feet to his right.

AOC, Sanders, and Warren Are the Real Centrists Because They Speak for Most Americans
The views of Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives are much closer to the vast majority of ordinary Americans than the Bloombergs or the Bidens.

Sorry, I forgot to add this. I made the graphic years ago from an article that linked to all the polls. I didn't carry over the citations, because it takes six second of Googling to confirm. Percentages may have changed, but the gist remains: the majority of Americans are progressively centrist.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
They showed that more than 50% of voters on both sides favored her policies. But as you said earlier, people need to go out and vote. And that was the rub.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Which means candidates are losing on the totality of their policies, not just one issue. However, it's worse than that. The graphs above of voters' opinions on 2024 policy proposals, where the candidates names had been removed?

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
So for someone to run as a single issue candidate when 90% don't vote that way would be baffling strategy — if not impossible to pull off. I tried to find examples of candidates who truly limited themselves to one topic; they're virtually non-existent.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Different polls have found people prioritize a particular issue. Gallup found 32% consider a candidate's stance on abortion to be a dealbreaker, but other factors still are considered when choosing a candidate or voting on propositions.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Actually, it would be probably more accurate to say a candidate just lost to broccoli lovers on the other side. But since Americans don't vote that way, that's not correct either. A Yale study (10%) and a Gallup survey (15%) found a small percentage of Americans are strict single issue voters.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
Are you saying that if we get people to actually vote for what they claim they want, that would be like forcing them to eat broccoli??? I'm curious how you'd describe when people vote against their own self-interests.....

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
It's far more relevant to take the fourteen issues as a whole, along with the polling showing the majority of Americans liked Kamala's policy positions (when they didn't know whose policy it was). So how do we get people to vote for the issues they claim they want? Quick answer? Turn off Fox News.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
And rather than being cryptic, I will say that I believe far more Republican voters vote against their stated preference — i.e., what they've answered to pollsters — than Democratic voters do.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
At least three potential reasons: 1) Not enough people vote. 2) Not enough people truly care about these issues. 3) Decades of branding turning highly popular positions into "far left whacko" positions....while they remain highly popular.

That said, I put more stock in companies paying $787.5M to settle lawsuits accusing them of lying — then continuing to lie — have nefarious intent and outsized influence. Somehow, we need to neuter that.

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
These issues are often considered "progressive," but over half of America favors them, and even half of Republicans favor at least eight of them. Which means these progressive causes are smack dab in the middle, so actually centrist, but we've lived through decades of Fox types misbranding this.

You know how Trump wants his name plastered everywhere? This seems like the best use of our tax dollars, because it will help us commemorate his memory. And if you were MAGA, you can take the stall on the right, because you obviously had some handicap if you voted for him.....

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 18/06/2026
Tell me if I'm following your logic correctly, JD? Obama had been dealing with Iran at it's strongest, and was able to get them to give up their enrichment program in exchange for $1.7B of seized assets and interest. Conversely, you were dealing with Iran at its weakest, but couldn't get them to..

By statistics and by definition, Progressive = Centrist and Centrist = Progressive. When well over half of America supports "progressive" policies — including majority support by R's on at least eight of them — that's smack dab in the middle. Anything else is Fox News disinformation.

I'm sorry, but I thought you were trying to make an argument against mail-in voting. However, in rereading your reply, it seems you're just suggesting that people be informed before voting.

Why would I? I can go to the bank to make a deposit, or I can take a picture with the software and transmit it. I've done nothing illegal in either case, but have lived my life more efficiently. You might want to try it, because it will free up more time to waste here.....

Jason Harris @cdjay62.bsky.social · 06/06/2026
And that's what makes mail-in voting so wonderful. My wife and I hop on the computer and research why "Citizens For A Better Life" is against the proposition while "Citizens For A Better Way" are for it. If we want informed voters — and we do — that provides the greatest opportunity.

I’ve always assumed they would try to siphon money from what they’ve collected. They were talking about creating an External Revenue Service, even though there already is a mechanism to collect tariffs. Plus it was the only reason that made sense for being so adamant about applying them worldwide.
