The Eagles meltdown against the Rams was high comedy. After the high comedy of the Flyers getting blown out in their home opener. With the Phillies window slamming shut in between. May adding LeBron and JB backfire seriously for the Sixers. Annoyed Philly sports is the best Philly sports.

You can reverse one United States Presidential election over the last 50 years in which the popular vote and electoral college votes matched. Which one do you reverse?

I'm on that hopium of this being a reverse 2010 and @joshsteinnc.bsky.social getting the legislature he needs that can finally drag North Carolina forward but I feel like dragging horses who aren't thirsty to water. The ads for NCGA races being heavily to Republicans has me worried. #NCPol

If this is true, at least four known Democrats sat on their hands in the aftermaths than do something to prevent it.

Can the Red Sox rescind the deal they gave Chad Tracy? They should've waited until after the postseason to offer a deal. You know who never would fall short in this position? Aaron Boone but the Sox ditched their Boone (Cora) for nothing.

Has anyone lost friendships defending Kamala Harris, the most misunderstood Presidential candidate in United States history and the woman who would've saved America from collapse and woe? I have. Am I alone?

So now everyone gets the memo that Cornell is bad? Newsflash: Cornell was always bad. Their existence and having all the grants that should be with the SUNY schools drags down strong public universities in New York State. Those 7 wastes of life are the tip of the iceberg. I'm miles underneath.

What TV show that was popular enough in its original run to reach the rerun threshold ended up falling flat on its face and is forgotten today? I'll start: Evening Shade and Grace Under Fire. The standard for success in the 90s was weird.

1: This whole thing reminded me of the theme to "Passions." 2: Being Southeast Asian and a Democrat, Kamala is also Indian and Blue. This crosses all but Naps for Cleveland AL roles. Now I want a Napoleon, it'd be quiet Lajoie-able. *ba dum dum*

If I called @kamalaharris.com "My Guardian and Protector in This Life," that would be considered "crazy" and "unstable," right? And my odds of entering her inner circle would be nil, right? Why then does Natalie Harp get a free pass?

That cheer for "O Canada" in Orchard Park only illustrates the disconnect between the American people and actions they did not vote for.

Ironic since the vast majority of North Carolina's problems would be solved by getting Republicans out of legislative and judiciary power. Give the Dems even one part of the legislature and things will improve fast.

Yeah, the depression your policies and decisions made. But...the price of eggs...and one older man's ill timed bad night...and She had a weird laugh...or dared to laugh or have happy feelings...or even be a She...or that something 5000+ miles away mattered more than anything domestic.

I know that @johnnypalmadessa.bsky.social isn't active here but this is a ballsy take. The post-Obama gerentocratic rut the US is in has made "64 isn't that old" and "a former loser can totally run again" somehow viable and my fear is that Kamala would make the same errors again.
Johnny Palmasessa on Substack:

"Kamala Harris and Jon Ossoff are expected to campaign together next month for the midterm.

She’s definitely running for president again, and with Jon Ossoff as Vice President — they’d win."

Do I dare troll the middle aged Kamala hater who told me that "if you want to be like Charlie Kirk, go to the black part of town and say [Slur]" then blocked me on Facebook before I rebut? The same one whose Kamala hate is tied to Doug and who thirsts for OF models on Threads?

Same Has Been: "Stop talking about Jim Thornton, he's a friend and a professional and his dismissal is an unfortunate turn of events and we shouldn't say anything until Jim speaks publicly." This isn't how this works, announcer who shares a name with a porn actor who was probably less smarmy.

I always caught a bad vibe about him that I couldn't place my finger on. And I read vibes perhaps too well. Also, who the hell spends 57 minutes with illegal content on plane wifi!?!? Wouldn't this be blocked and against the AUP one clicks to activate?

If decades were hockey games, and you consider the 2020s to have started 1/1/2020, today is puck drop for the third period. Will decency and kindness rebound after their meltdown during the middle of the second? Or will evil forces go five hole?

If being a decent person who looks out for others means I'm "backwards and poor," then call me backwards and poor. Were Obama, Biden, the Bushes, Clinton, and the 37 men prior this shielded from what was actually going on?

A devolution of Criminal Justice in New Jersey: Bruno Hauptmann: 18 months from being arrested for kidnapping the Lindbergh Baby to trial to execution. Sean Higgins: Killed Johnny & Matthew Gaudreau 2 years ago and it hasn't even reached a pre-trial state. Where have we gone wrong as a society?

Kamala needed to make this ad and puncture centrist and right wing spaces. Warning people about right wing wish lists doesn't do much when you're preaching to a choir. And now we all suffer.

And you are the True 45th President of the United States of America. I declare the current government the third Anti-Presidency of the United States of America. As a person who doesn't sundown, doesn't have frontotempotal dementia, and is continent y'all should listen to me.

I posted this on some Hell Site and may pair it with a picture of Lake Ontario on it's sister photo app. I miss having a real President.
How does renaming Lake Ontario out of spite help Americans with affordability? Or help unify us as a nation? 
What good does it do for anyone except one man's ego?
I try to focus on the midterms, but everything He [Trump Do Nal] does brings me back to Her [K. Devi Emhoff], the woman who dared to laugh, feel joy, and not have severe dementia or incontinence. 
A person younger than my parents. Someone who would've truly done anything possible to Make America Great Again.
If the body of water is now Lake America, then I declare Kamala Harris the true 47th President of the United States of America and that the US is under the reign of its second Anti-President.

Why did something about Enes Kanter always seem off to me going back to when he was speaking out about Erdogan? His imploding with his WNBA antics make me feel that somehow I was right along? The freedom to read bad vibes.

If God exists, he's on a hell of a cold streak this week and wants us to suffer. Twice he's taken the wrong 80 year old and once he's taken the wrong person who had a bit part in Home Alone 2. Jaye P. Morgan's bit on Celebrity Ding Dang Dong cannot be erased!

When the heck did @piperformissouri.bsky.social's Instagram comments turn into Threads? I feel like I'm being gaslit there. Where were the ads in 2024 with the Kamala campaign distilling Project 2025 as bad which didn't exist? I know, "She Warned Us" and "You Needed to Read It" but still...

Who around here is able to field some questions about death and grief, namely prolonged or anticipatory, in general? Every time someone dies, I wonder about my parents and how I as an only child will be left holding the bag. Or other relatives.

We nearly lived in a world where Dolly Parton, not yet fully revered as she ended up being, was the host of Family Feud. Instead, a year later, we had to settle for Louie Anderson. Knowing the times, it could've been a debacle. Or a clean version of Steve Harvey a decade plus later.

What event that was televised did you miss seeing live which you can't bear to watch? For me, Super Bowl XLII, the 2010 Olympic Men's Ice Hockey final, the 2014 Olympic Women's Ice Hockey final, and the 2024 US Presidential Debate (June 27) would be tied for it. And you?

The only state level Democratic parties who have organizing down pat are Wisconsin and North Carolina and both had to suffer unreal trauma before doing so. State parties running on auto pilot in the Northeast really grind my gears since they plaster over vunerability.

Let me get this straight: For the party that is brazenly corrupt to get back on their feet, the solution is to be anti-corruption. This piece screams of NC GOP copium though 2030 is important and a trap with only 2 SCONC seats for statewide races. #NCPOL open.substack.com/pub/longleaf...

Did I sleep through the 2024 elections but was there an ad Kamala did saying "Republicans will make your food unsafe and will make you sick" that I missed? According to assorted places in the Metaverse, the Harris campaign did a whole suite of direct anti-Project 2025 ads I never heard of, right?

You know where people don't get lynched? The Northeast. Why? Because people in the Northeast know better. Even the racists know that killing is a bridge too far. [Yes, I know I'm a liberal who left for the south. But the runaway CoL and stale but decent politics need help there.]

If we are going by series, "Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher." Which somehow lasted two full seasons because the bar at The WB early on was so low. If you count unsold pilots, this blatant ripoff of "Welcome Back, Kotter" which is *too* mid-70s NYC. youtu.be/jKIBaz4x1ow?...

Former Moulton constituent who has met Moulton chiming in. He wouldn't have a career if it wasn't for the instant voter remorse for John Tierney in 2012. And Tierney only won because Dem pilling in MA-6 was real where a GayAsian RINO like Richard Tisei had no chance soley over his party.
