Pardons imply crimes were committed. You can’t pardon someone without naming the crime, and accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt for those crimes.

I hope everyone involved in Christa Pike’s botched execution receives justice if not the exact same treatment. I don’t excuse Pike for her crimes, but everyone deserves dignity and peace in death. Pike received neither.

If I lived in a city without a prominent Trump property, I’d be a little worried right about now. Because clearly he’s intending those nukes to hit you, not anything he actually cares about.

It’s going to be really funny when we find out that Stuxnet was lurking in the corpus for all of these foundation models, and it was just a matter of time before it surfaced.

Wait, if Democratic areas have grown at higher rates than Republican areas for more than 30 years, how is the GOP still in power? Explains the push for voter suppression and gerrymandering, doesn’t it? www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Haha, I can’t wait to see this backfire spectacularly. Obvious retorts from her opponents: “So you’re saying we should listen to Democrats on these issues?” “Convenient. Are you trying to save our country or just your job?” “Certainly a circuitous route to admitting there is a racism problem.”

Why is it that there is so much money to be made in industries that everyone knows are killing us but very little money to be made in ones that save us? I worry that too much of work in human salvation is being left to religions of the world, and they are too focused on our souls, not our lives.

Donald Trump is living proof this study is absolutely, 100% based in fact. He’s been ingesting ungodly amounts of diet soda since the 1980s. His brain is so bad that his dementia has dementia. www.fastcompany.com/91585350/stu...

Study links cognitive decline to surprisingly small daily amount of artificial sweeteners
A new study says adults who consumed the amount of sweetener found in a daily diet soda saw memory and mental sharpness deteriorate 62 percent faster than those who had far less.

False. Republicans just have to outlive him. And that gets easier every day, since he’s exhausting the efficacy of all of the medical miracles currently keeping him alive. He’s almost at the point where they need to turn to witchcraft or alchemy to forestall his passing.

So, the Grim Reaper seems to be working his way through octogenarians who were big in the 1980’s. It’s only a matter of time before he gets to those that were only “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” big.

Well, the Alaska Senate race certainly going to be talked about in context of stolen elections, because Senator Dan Sullivan is afraid enough Alaskans would feel he isn’t the better Dan Sullivan on the ballot, and the GOP cried until the Alaska elections officials kowtowed to their wishes.

I don’t feel like doing the research to get the math right, but this has be close to 2-3 books donated per American born in the past 31 years. Imagine where American literacy would be without Dolly Parton’s generosity. We never deserved her kindness, yet she gave it anyway.

To honor the passing of a true American hero, Dolly Parton, I highly encourage you to rewatch 9 to 5 and consider what you can do to address harassment, bias, and inequity in your workplace.

The “O” in GOP may as well stand for “OnlyFans”. - They’re great at making you excited. - They make you feel like they care so you come back with money. - But in the end, they only care that you are subscribed and consuming what they put out, regardless how harmful it is or can be.

If Wal-mart got a $2.9 billion refund for Trump’s tariffs, then the American consumer probably paid far more than $2.9 billion at Wal-mart due to Trump’s tariffs because of snowballing effects. And that is just Wal-mart. Every item purchased everywhere could have cost more due to Trump.

I’ve read news articles about how American state property tax systems are crushing seniors with tax burdens for homes they own which outgrew their family 20 years ago, forcing some to sell them and downsize. So, Boomers are selling homes they cannot maintain to families that need them? Great.

markspotsthex @markspotsthex.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
As I see it, the Boomers let college and health care become unaffordable. They let national debt get out of hand. They drank the Kool-aid of shareholder value. They’ve had power for 40 years and broke more than they fixed. Now, that comes back to bite them. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

I’ve decided that I’m going to replace the word “conservative” with “intellectually lazy”. Every idea a conservative has I can almost guarantee is the most lizard-brained way to solve a problem in their favor. If an issue requires work to solve, they blame, cheat, lie, or grift their way out.

Not sure about you, but I’m pretty a corpse isn’t doing a lot of planning. Even zombie movies make it pretty clear that there isn’t a whole lot of thought going on while terrorizing people. I am confident Mitch will make his return to the Capitol building someday. Well, to the rotunda, at least.

In this country, we believe in freedom of speech. We settle our differences not with bullets, but with open and vigorous debate. And no deranged loser with a gun will ever change that. - Donald J Trump, at the 2026 WHCA Donald, they’re your deranged losers. Maybe you should convince them of that.

All of these Republicans gerrymanders are predicated on them holding solid enough leads in their districts that they could dilute them somewhat to no ill effect to win newly designed districts. If these margins are real, the GOP could lose what were once safe seats.

If I felt as POTUS that I needed to fortify the White House to ensure my safety, I would have to wonder if maybe I was the problem. Frankly, if I wasn’t already worried about Trump leaving the WH at the end of his term, I certainly am now.

The easiest way to further promote election security would be to end the GOP as a political party. From gerrymandering to ballot presence to vote counting, there is not any phase in which they have not been caught cheating.
