So it kinda worked for the ballroom, so now the arch is a national security issue. Uh huh. If the SC falls for that shit again it deserves whatever happens to it.

No sub to WashPo, so no link but while this is kinda mind boggling, what happens to them "when everyone is deported?" Not a fan of creative reuse of detention camps, no good precedents for this kind of ramp up.

So, we see the average in US is healthy till 66 then "old age" sets in, making work harder, making retirement miserable. Hey, lets raise the retirement age! That'll fix the Social Security "problem", right?

And this is progressive taxation how?

Fun with numbers - at 7% The $1k could grow to around $3,570 over 18 years, $87k at age 65. But if parents etc add $5k a year, $90k of that age 18 figure is from that. $5k year is $417 per month. We can see who benefits from this and it's not the bottom 50%. Unless free, also fees to be paid

Ted Crus goes over Trump accounts saying it's worth $170k at age 18 if parents kick in $5k per year.

OMG 49? And he didn't grow up "hard" and so this must all he "him". SMH.

Unthinkable, just a few years ago. This is how far standards in the federal government have fallen. This is from hud.gov

A picture of a statement from the HUD website that says The radical left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their 1.5 trillion wish list of demands the Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

John McGing @jmcging.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Which way this time? Dec 2018, Trump said he would be "proud" to shut down the government over border security funding. "I'll take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it." By January 2019 Kellyanne Conway said, "He doesn't own the shutdown any longer,"

This is what is going out gaslighting the 1st amendment and further painting people as immoral and vile. Doing to individuals as they are doing to organizations. "Celebrating his murder" is anything not indicating support for Charlie? Seriously?

A picture of a meme essentially saying firing people doesn;t violate their rights because employers don't want vile people working for the, and if you do so you are depraved.

So many things we take for granted are only due to unions, not employer decency.

You know, when people act like deep dish is the only kind of Chicago style pizza, I never found a way to push back on that until now. This graphic demonstrates that there are a lot of styles and kinds of pizza in Chicago and we love most of them.

Seems some newspapers have the balls pr backbone to call a spade a spade, or in this case, a felon a felon.

I am not a fan of libertarianism for a lot of reasons, and in most of it organized guises. So seeing R. Crumb taking a whack at Ayn Rand just makes a crappy day a little bit brighter. YMMV

How disconnected from reality must you be to come out and say that most workers don't like having a day off and we need to do something about them. Seriously, Mr. Man who has never worked an honest job for a day in his life? Who is off work more than he's on even as president?

Esp with this administration, you cannot say this too often.

The history of a federal agency may seem kinda trivial but it's not. It may be dry and academic but so what? History is how we know where we came from and how we got here and how we think about the future. Eliminating the agency custodian hurts us today and down the road.
