Wrong question, Dave. What's keeping fair wages out of their pockets at the start? Tell that story, Dave!

When the day was long and I need nighttime refuge from my burdens, I know I like to hear the dulcet tones of some smug frat boy carrying on about a world he knows nothing about. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Meh. Every TexAgs user knows exactly which forum Elko was talking about. That place is a cesspool. He shouldn't have said what he did, but he wasn't wrong.

I'm sitting on my deck, looking northwest at the approaching frontal boundary that will bring fall to my Texas home in the next few minutes. Even as I type, the wind shifts and intensifies. It's here! FINALLY. It's my favorite weather moment every year.

There isn't a single Elon Musk company that wouldn't perform better under different ownership. He brings no value to the economy whatsoever. He's a parasite -- worse, a malignancy. We hold no obligation to him, moral or otherwise. Send his net worth to USAID.

I would go a step further -- as long as we permit capital to accumulate in a small number of hands, we will continue to be held back from peace and prosperity. It's time for redistribution.

I'm curious. Do people and the media remember that the Trump admin didn't release all of the Epstein files, in spite of a law saying they had to? The Epstein files said the FBI had credible reports that Trump sexually assaulted a 13-year-old, punched her in the face, and threatened her family.

Or, it's Kabuki. I lean toward Kabuki. The cost of that war is why we're there. This administration does not govern in good faith. About anything.

Traitor Trump proudly does a deal with Putin that will kill Ukrainians—and his sycophantic FBI director heads to Russia. You do the math.

People may have forgotten, but Donald Trump secretly signed a letter of intent to build Trump Tower Moscow during his 2016 presidential campaign, while telling the public he had nothing to do with Russia. His attorney even emailed Putin's spokesman for help in getting the project done.

It's so exhausting after ten years to still be calling him out as a traitor... but here I am. We have been in a national security emergency for most of the last decade. No one in any official capacity, news media or government alike, acknowledges what's now obvious. Infuriating.

Let's also acknowledge that their lifespans will be short and make these corporations eat the cost of teardown now, rather than passing it to tomorrow's taxpayers. We don't need to litter the countryside or cityscape with huge abandoned warehouses.

Even the inflation during Biden's term was Trump's doing -- or am I the only one who remembers all the free money the government disbursed in 2020?

He gets it. Not only are they failing to resonate, they actually alienate swing voters by being such an obvious distraction from the problems that are afflicting us all.

All urban reclamation starts in neighborhoods with crime and decay. The east side is the last refuge in FW for real estate that small businesses can afford. It's going to happen.

Understand that the intended audience for that remark is usually other Americans. "This isn't what our country is supposed to be" is a compelling argument for change. That we've never really lived up to that ideal is a fact, admittedly. But it's the trying that yields better governance.

It would have been nice for the Obama administration to have done the same during their second term, but at least now we understand the cost of ignoring the problem

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

This is a small story outside DC, but it speaks directly to MAGA's contempt for the American system and rule of law generally. There are no 10,000 coincidences. Breaking our country is the entire point. Call it what it is: treason.
