This is gibberish. The President of the United States is an economic moron.

There's a pretty tight timeline, but what I've read is that they’ll either have a statewide caucus or a Democratic convention the weekend of 7/25. There has to be a candidate by 7/27 per state law.

These signs are in the suburbs as well. There are at least three of them. The group I work with will likely sponsor similar signs later in the summer. We’re not lying down in Mississippi!

Batting average doesn't tell you much because it measures all hits equally. OPS takes in walks and extra-base hits. wRC+ is even better because it’s weighted by park. Sorry, I’m a baseball stats nerd.

George Ryan of Illinois did the same thing as a lame-duck governor, right before he went to prison. A wave of conscience, before the end.

We lost our little mixed breed suddenly in March. He was our eight-year-old Doberman’s best friend, and she was grieving badly. We adopted a seven-year-old mixed breed who had spent his entire life in a shelter. He shows us his love and gratitude daily. It wasn't even a choice. He needed a home.

People are fighting every day. Thousands marched in Montgomery last weekend for voting rights and again in Jackson, MS, this past Wednesday. Civil Rights leaders in their eighties were marching side by side with those in their twenties. This nihilistic bullshit is disrespectful to all of them.

ARF does amazing work and they need your help desperately. We adopted a dog from there about six weeks ago after he spent most of his seven years there. Please donate if you can. www.arfms.org/donate

I agree. 21 should at very least be the starting point for the ask. Every single Presidential primary candidate needs to commit to expanding the court to some level.

Dean Gavney @deang154.bsky.social · 17/05/2026
The answer is to expand the court. Every 2028 Presidential candidate must commit to doing that.

Dean Gavney @deang154.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
SCOTUS needs to be expanded far beyond 13. It needs to be at least 21.

This is Dempsey. We adopted him three weeks ago after losing another pup suddenly. He had spent almost his entire seven years in a shelter after being left in a dumpster as a puppy.

I think he’s counting on a judge throwing it out. That way, he can scream about “liberal judges” and play the martyr.

I agree with you. I just ran across an old social media post of mine that basically said the same thing. I worked in or around retail for thirty years. I do think it’s important to recognize it's shit money, though and give them a little grace. That doesn't mean absolving them from poor behavior.

Last month, we lost our 7-year-old mixed breed, named Mr. Chew, to a sudden infection. Yesterday, we adopted a 7-year-old mixed breed named Dempsey, who had spent his entire life in a shelter. Our older Doberman was grieving so hard that we felt she needed a friend.

He’s not a genius of any sort, but he does have sales talent. He’s a stereotypical used car salesman, full of bullshit and bluster, and that works on a certain kind of weak mind. **no offense to those who sell used cars, unless you’re his type of salesperson.**

Dean Gavney @deang154.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
Hell, I didn't think he’d back down today precisely because everyone expected him to.

We lost Mr. Chew suddenly a couple of weeks ago. He understood everything. He knew when we needed him, when his Doberman sister needed him and even when our geriatric cat did. He was in charge. After my heart transplant he was my coach, walking with me every day. About 2,500 miles in four years.
