Still here. Watching the Decline and Fall in real time.

And what do they think will happen when an American warship fires on a Chinese tanker?

Here's an idea -- vote Democratic!

How many Americans have gone bankrupt over medical bills? Maybe help them out, first.

Where was their outrage in the run up to the 2016 election, when the Catholic Church stopped just short of endorsing Trump because they believed he was their best hope to ban abortion?

Trump is that unhinged older, addled relative that so many families have ... and try not to talk about.

The stable wouldn't have been empty in late December. Even in Bethlehem it would have been too cold to leave the animals out -- and the shepherds wouldn't have been out all night in the cold for the angels to find. But, it's the spirit.

Amazing how much money you can have and still be worthless.

But ultimately, those underpaid workers are the consumers you rely on to buy your goods. If those consumers can't afford to buy your product how will your company survive? Good luck trying to make a living by marketing to billionaires. (But I'm not an economist -- what do I know.)

The most important thing I've learned so far this year -- major corporations will sell out democracy in an instant if they think they can profit by it. We individual citizens are on our own.

He didn't "appear to". He flat-out lied.

I'm sorry, but you're mistaken. In Trump's 1st term his buddy Putin, at a Russian gov't meeting, showed a graphic of Russian hypersonic warheads descending on Florida and Trump said nothing. (But no real American would tolerate it.)

I'm 72 and worried about the country my kids will be living in.

Thanks for asking. Doing okay so far, all things considered, but I'd like to be more optimistic about the midterms next year. I'm sure it won't be a "red wave" but I'd like to see more enthusiasm for Democrats rather than just no enthusiasm for MAGA. I really want to see a massive victory.

I am rethinking my position on the anvil, though.

I can't provide numbers, but IIRC flag burnings went way down after the Supreme Court made that ruling. But Trump is that rare combination of ignorance, incompetence, and control freak. Well, okay -- maybe not that rare.

I've pointed this out myself. Funny how it worked out that way.

Thanks! I have a strong outdoors background and a strong preference for democracy over fascism. Take care.

Great time to downsize NOAA, right Elon? But, at least FEMA will be there when we need them, right Trump?

Maybe they should worry a little less about Trump and a little bit more about their customers and communities.

Another way for Trump to humiliate America.

Because, Donald, her doctorate is in education. Something you know very little about.

"Disagreeing" is part of politics. If we didn't disagree, we wouldn't need politics. But abuse, threats, slander and worse are not politics. They're part of organized crime.

My understanding is that to 86 something means to dump or jettison it. I'm with the seashells.

Well, she'll be working for a convicted felon, so her husband should feel right at home.

Hardly surprising. Who, in this administration of billionaires, has ever been told "No" growing up? Who has ever been denied their third doll or their sixth pencil?

Kevin @cromag-01.bsky.social · 15/05/2025
Well, since when has Trump ever cared about other people's safety?

Kevin @cromag-01.bsky.social · 14/05/2025
I've had similar thoughts.

Where were the kids parents? Who would ever leave their kids in the care of RFK Jr.?

Like Trump's first term, when his suggestion to rapidly rising cases of COVID was to tell scientists to "Slow the testing down". If we don't hear about it, it must not be happening, right?

Well, if those dolls have Donald Trump's face on them and come with a packet of pins, okay.

So, the risk of sepsis rose by "just" 29%? How about we return to intelligent policies that mean we don't have to celebrate when sepsis rises "just" 29%?

"Americans not being aware" is how Trump got elected.

And Hitler wanted to be an artist. As dictator he envisioned the Führermuseum. I see parallels.

And 34 felony convictions, and found liable for sexual abuse, whose "University" was shut down because it was a scam, whose charitable foundation was dissolved by court order because it was a scam, etc., etc., etc.

Actually, the first country I thought about when I heard this was Iran.
