I often think about how the rise of the neo-fascist right corresponds to the declining numbers of WW2 vets around to slug them right in the face.

Pretty sure the way to actually stop Republicans from dropping the race/ethnicity questions is to position the move as a conspiracy to prevent white Americans from being aware of their own looming extinction.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

I worked with a lady who would close with "Have a Godless day!" every time she left a phone message. Years later, I heard someone use the line and realized she'd been saying "God-blessed day" all along. I spent years thinking she was aggressively atheist. Which is pretty funny in retrospect.

Since 1981, Democratic presidents have overseen the creation of 3 times as many private-sector jobs as their Republican counterparts. Excluding Reagan, the net private-sector job growth of the past 3 GOP presidents is zero.

The legendary Dolly Parton's gone now. As are Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson. Heartbreaking to see the old guard passing in a time when modern country musicians prostrate themselves to the rich and powerful. Thank God we still have Willie Nelson.

This is the most Republican story you will read all day. A Republican who represents Trump’s home district was arrested for molesting his OWN GRANDSON and could face the death penalty under a state law he sponsored. There has to be a German word for this.

My father and I flew into DCA to attend a funeral at Arlington National Cemetary. Usually a breathtaking view of downtown DC. As the plane turned toward the Reflecting Pool, there was an audible gasp in the plane, along with laughing. Yay us!

When a Bollywood event was held at the Tampa Hilton, I went through crazy security (and some scary dudes) to get into the hotel. There's no way anyone could have gotten a weapon anywhere near that lobby. Rather than a trillion $$ ballroom, maybe Trump should just invite Indian actors to his events?

Raffi knows of what he speaks. Yet, I've heard respected, seemingly intelligent lawyers argue against birthright citizenship in personal conversations. Rule of law is only an idea. And like the gods of antiquity, it requires nothing more than a change of mind to disappear forever.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

The next Supreme Court term is shaping up to be the most consequential since 1937. Depending on how it rules, it may cease to be accepted as a legitimate arbiter, and even nullify its own power as an independent judiciary.
