He's delulu. And he's showing it to the whole world. This reminds me of some coworker who didn't receive an award or bonus and goes on a whining rant. "What am I, chopped liver?"

That lament is a symptom of his deteriorated mental state. He's so far detached from reality. Doesn't realize he should get an anti-peace prize, that's how pathetic his performance has been.

The days of wine and roses gone with the wind. Both titles are based on phrases from poems by the 19th Century English poet Ernest Dowson.

What idiot thought this was a good idea weeks before a critical election? Polarizing for sure. But my hope is the great majority of Americans view this as disgusting.

"subsidize your donors" is such a great burn. Ossoff must have a great brain trust.

Crazy to think some people go through life with a Rolex of sugar daddies, all on speed dial, to bail them out of big money scrapes.

How many times is she going to sink low to gain a few clicks? I thought her comments about implying assault of 15-16 year olds re Epstein was acceptable was a real low point. Now she' back at it again. She needs to be shunned.

Fantasia. I was probably about 4 or 5. The scene where Mickey smashes the broom into pieces and they regenerate into an army of marching brooms. It was in a dark movie theater to add to the atmosphere.

Don't see this in other comments. Mullins comment on scripture is hypocritical. At his famous "City Elders" speech he mentioned scriptures many times, especially relating to "raising Davids" and corporal punishment. In video start about 26:30 in. youtu.be/8DM03pbUzl0?...

That's why we need 52. I shudder to think what would happen if he were the 51st and the idea of playing kingmaker went to his head. Of course, you never know if some other Manchin or Sinema-like character can emerge and really louse things up. Ego trip.

It's fun and mysterious at the same time. I'm so bubbled my 9-year-old grandson has to explain to me who "Bluey" is and why that character is passe.

It depends. Is this the first interview? Or the seventh interview in a never-ending chain of interviews to determine if you're a "good fit". Maybe your observations told you by the sixth interview it's time to ramp up the microsignaling to demonstrate your "fitness".

Identify as a <one of the last surviving> rabid Roosevelt socialist Democrats with an axe to grind about post-war reparations. I maintain the US was ripped off in some of the writeoffs post WW2 and should reenergize efforts to extract money from major and minor allies.

He has got to be the lowest IQ senator. He's not even aware there is a war going on with Iran. Cotton, corn, soybean and peanut farmers all choking on high diesel prices and this is the best he has to offer.

This "be grateful" psyop is a variation of Trump and the Christmas dolls: "You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice. You don't need 37 dolls." That was from impact of tariffs, because tariffs are good medicine. So, it's the same line of twisted thinking.

This McConnell thing reminds me of the movie Chinatown. One part of the movie was use of infirm residents of Mar Vista Rest Home as unwitting dupes in the real estate investment swindle engineered by villain Noah Cross. In DC today there's a group of aged senators who are puppets for evil forces.

Washington State is going to have higher gas and diesel prices, compared to most of U.S., because of per gallon state taxes. That funds the Transportation segment of the State budget because we don't have a state income tax.

Old news. Just saw diesel at $7.29 at the discount Kroger gas station near Tacoma, WA today (Sept 18, 2026). Yes, keep voting for the party of the idiot who started the Iran war. Feel sorry for the high-T guys who bought their big diesel pickups.

Sometimes I feel the constant waves of BS are designed to wear people down. Like it's deliberate. Why? 1) Demo that US Govt is useless 2) Turn people against each other 3) Make it difficult to ID what is truth, half-truth or a lie 4) Wear down resistance to oligarchs and authoritarians.

The Covid era direct payments to households were identified as one source that goosed demand and caused subsequent inflation. Now isn't this same type of $5K payment going to do the same?
