Why do we have to reinvent the wheel? Some version of this has been working in other countries for decades. Surely, with "American exceptionalism", we could tweak one of those to fit our needs? Anything has to be better than the system we currently have!

The Times was relentless against Joe's issues. Might be nice to see something comparable.

Let me guess: they were "treated horribly and unfairly" according to many people he trusts....

After decades of having "Reefer Madness" thrown at us with their full knowledge that it was not based on anything scientific, it's going to be hard to listen to 'them' again.

Except the consent forms they signed waiving their constitutional rights, where is the legal authority supporting this crap? Reliance on TX constitution is irrelevant; Federal constitutional law ("Supreme law of the land") supercedes state constitutional law. Am I missing something?

Great points in your podcast this week...as usual.

What are we doing? Pissing on everything millions of soldiers like my Dad, a WWII disabled vet, laid their lives down to protect. But half of today's voters are happy to sacrifice that because it's so fun to 'own the libs'. A pox on all of you who fit in those shoes.

ALL must agree that the ONLY way this works is by following a set of rules. That's how naive I am! 🙂 Deep down I know you're right; if the Ds ever had a chance to get even with 'Moscow Mitch' for what he did to Merritt Garland, should we take it? Thanks for the chance for a meaningful discussion!🙂

How is he NOT under some type of investigation by his local bar association?

Honestly? I'm so tired of us feeling like WE have to play by the rules, while THEY get to do what they want, as they play to win. 😡 Intellectually, you may be right....I'm just sick of being stuck with the double standard. Peace!🙂

Perhaps instead of making videos and playing 'Action Barbie', the Secretary could start learning who our U.S. Senators are. And their role in our government?

Nobody should be giving a shit about Biden at this point. JESUS!

I said this 3 months ago. But it will go further: he will declare martial law. That is why the Rs in Congress will not resist, because that means no elections...which they know they will lose.

Do you honestly think any of them give a shit about 'the law' anymore?

I've really cut back. I used to get occasional likes from some of the 'big names'. Now even that's stopped. Lots of posts; less interaction with the average guy (notable exceptions: Mark Cuban and George Conway).

How appropriate. George Orwell's "1984" was published on this day in 1949.

So. When do those lawyers get sanctioned/disbarred? If we can't hold dear leader responsible, let's go after the enablers who have sold their souls to the devil.

That reminds me: The 911 Commission faulted our intelligence agencies for 'failing to connect the dots', leading to the disaster. So it makes perfect sense to make it HARDER now to connect those dots. NOT!

MB--thank you so much for such kind comments. And for your Dad's service as well. My Dad never talked about his time in the Army, except when he was REALLY drunk. Even then, his comments were esoteric in nature. After he died, I obtained his military files--which actually answered many questions.🥰

My Dad--a disabled vet--one of the WWII 'suckers and losers' that Trump and his supporters 'don't like to look at' in parades, and whose sacrifice, along with thousands of others, is being pissed away by nearly half the country over the price of a dozen eggs. Maybe Trump was actually right.

My question: Will we pay another $1B when the $400M 747 is turned over to trump (when he leaves office) to take out all the classified upgrades/equipment? Or does private citizen trump get to keep them-- unlike any other former president?

Another example of the fallacy of the premise that business people make great political leaders.

What infuriates me the most are the D's who didn't vote, or rationalized that they would have gotten a better deal by voting R. Similar to what happened with H. Can you imagine the POTUS issues we would NOT be having IF....??? Let alone the legislative issues?

So, if she can act like this, why do we have to resist using words like, deplorable?

Tom Alisankus @tja19.bsky.social · 22/05/2025
This is horrible. That said, didn't a growing number of people in the lower income strata vote R because they thought they'd get a better deal, and the D's abandoned them?

Since this will hit the red states harder, I can't wait for the Kool aid drinkers' response when this lands.
