Yeah, and he's a 24-year-old Olympic athlete, too. Both are about as likely.

FWIW, some of us don't want to stop it and want the change, too. We just don't get any of the press.

We need to make clear to the public that corruption at the top is taking money directly out of their pockets. When Trump gains, you lose.

I'm happy to pretend he's on the ballot. That's why they'll have to arrest me or kill me to stop me voting and why I'll vote blue all the way down to the dog catcher.

This "leadership" lies to both the soldiers and the American public. Dipshit and all of his minions commit treason the way you or I breathe: Without thinking about it.

Sadly all too true, Ambassador. I am a retired writer and editor (and programmer), so they really bug me. But I'm also human, so I make errors. Such is life.

I get that Christianity being more and more prominent in politics erodes the separation of church and state, no matter which party does it.

IMO, he appeals to the machismo crowd, so he gets some support from that direction.

I've missed only one presidential or midterm election ever, but I'll happily vote like Dipshit is on the ballot: Blue all the way down to the dog catcher. And they'll have to arrest me or kill me to stop me from voting.

TX is 60% D, but it's so gerrymandered that the Rs win everything. (It doesn't help that many Ds have given up and just don't bother any more. That's part of the R plan, too.) That may very well bite the Rs in the ass, since their redistricting made many seats more competitive. With a blue wave....

They never understand and never will. They're so deep into their faith and hating anyone who isn't that they're unreachable. I loooooooooong ago stopped trying.

If he doesn't manage to steal the election, he'll go even further off the rails. As I've been saying since November 2024, I won't be surprised when he nukes someone. I also won't be surprised when he declares martial law and arrests and executes Americans en masse.

I hope that trend accelerates. I'm not a fan of the idea of AI-generated music, but if the artists get paid, OK. Enya (my favorite vocalist) has taken to producing AI music. That doesn't make me happy, but it's her choice and not someone ripping her off.

The right has on empathy, so they never care about anything till it impacts them or, at best, someone close to them. Once we understand that, it's easy to understand how this happened.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

So the separation of church and state gets weaker and weaker, and we think it's a good thing because it happens to help Dems this time. Sigh.
