Not fair. They should have asked him his name, what time it is when the big hand is on 5 and the little one's on 3, and which one of the following animals is a horse. He would have absolutely "aced" it.

Ah. Gotcha. This isn't senility. This is just what Orwell called "duckspeak." Just put your political ideology through a woodchipper, let it spray across the world, and rejoice in your enemies' frustration as sense and reason get drowned in it. When exactly do we take to the streets, again?

Coming up out of the burrow just to spit some venom at this study. Because WHAT FREE MARKET. There hasn't been a "free" market in America since the subprime crisis. Hell, there hasn't been a free market in America since Dartmouth College v. Woodward (1819). Corporate hegemony is NOT a free market.

"Show me why the GOP has no future in one image." Remember when they at least pretended one goal of their policies was to improve the general public's economic security? Remember when that was supposed to be the end point of all this? Not that it was ever more than lip service, even from Dems.
Screenshot of https://amac.us/newsline/the-socialist-plan-to-gut-the-constitution-spark-a-communist-revolution:

“You have no debt. You don’t need health insurance. You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren’t for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.”

To anyone with a basic understanding of economics and the real world, that’s the stuff of childish fantasies. It might be laughable – if it weren’t becoming a mainstream position on the political left.

Even better? If I'm doing my homework right... and I always do... the total population of those four remaining pro-Trump states is about 0.015% of America. If you have any remaining MAGA contacts, I would be so gratified if you would BULLDOZE them with this info and report back. 😏

Per Wiki, that's a 2025 population of 5,183,991. The population of the remaining pro-Trump states is less than the ENTIRE population of Alabama. That's barely over 60% of the population of NYC *alone*. And just over 1⅓ Los Angeli. 😼 NEVER let 'em get away with this "Real America" crap.

This map made me feel a bit better, especially after I looked up the population ranks of the remaining states with positive Trump approval. ""Real America"" is now down to... Idaho (37th) Wyoming (50th!) West Virginia (39th) North Dakota (47th) We lunatics are clearly gonna run this asylum soon.

Betteridge's Law: it's never, ever wrong.
Headline: "Are Democrats Finding Their Spines?"Wikipedia: Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

Huh. I apparently knew of "Summer In The City," "Do You Believe In Magic," "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?" and "You Didn't Have to Be So Nice," but didn't *know* I knew any Lovin' Spoonful songs. I like precisely two of those, coincidentally enough.
