Republicans don't just want to stop Medicare for All. They want Medicare for None. Cuts start after the midterms, after it's too late to matter to them. And why should it? They get healthcare for life while you get bankruptcy.

He is a lawyer. Not only was this a stupid scene, but perjury requires the "lie" be material to the outcome. If Jack Smith was being charged with something related to the game or using the game as an alibi, lying about it would be perjury. Just being wrong about irrelevant facts is not perjury.

If he's talking about his personal wealth, he is correct. The media needs to focus on the corruption of him and his family.

I bring salsa and Tostitos Scoops to job interviews. When my interviewer declines my offer to share, I say "More for me, amigo." Is that not the move?

Mike Rogers is also the architect of The Patriot Act which kinda makes him the grandfather of Flock Cameras, data brokers, and AI data mining and all the other mass surveillance projects. If Communism scares you, this advocate of big brother knowing your every move ought to terrify you.

I think I just figured out why AI and data centers are the avatar for the billionaires class. AI takes other people's creativity, knowledge, and analysis and repackages it as its own. It's an exploitation machine. AI is the perfect metaphor for labor exploitation.

Over on Gen X Facebook I see a lot of people talking about not carrying water bottles or thinking about hydration when we were kids. This is an artifact of Reagan era public squalor/private opulence. The private commoditization of natural resources and selling us stuff that used to be free.

I heard something yesterday that gave me chills: We are so divided that only swing voters matter and the truth is that most swing voters nowadays are low-information voters. If you can be persuaded at this point, its because you don't pay enough attention to have already formed an opinion.

Even if he isn't dead, can we all call bullshit on people trying to pass him off as if he is in better shape than he was before his precipitous decline beginning in 2023? He was in a wheelchair and was having freezing episodes and purple lips for years before he fell.

2016: Obama is President. Trump wins. Elections are fair because he won. 2020: Trump is President. Trump loses. Elections are rigged because he lost. 2024: Biden is President. Trump wins. Elections are fair because he won. Either he is a lying idiot or... well, that's all. He is a lying idiot.

Physical neglect is one of the most awful kinds of child welfare caaes. I have had several of these. It's not about poverty. In the cases I have had, it's about depravity, substance abuse, and/or mental illness.

Instead of using gender as a proxy for strength, size, or skill, we should create a body typology for sports. There will be all male or all female teams but there will be the overlapping middle where men and women of comparable body types will compete on the same teams.

I think Melania and Donald are the real life plot of Pretty Woman. Melania was an escort Trump hired to be his girlfriend, and later, wife. He destroys companies. He was very angry with his father. If we're ever curious about the sequel, Vivian is biding her time waiting for Edward to die already.

I think of patriotism for my country the way I think about motherhood. My job was to guide and make sure decisons I made reflected my values and priorities. Sometimes I'm frustrated but mostly I'm proud. Regardless. I will always love my children.

Someone described women's prison to me thusly: You get a room and a bed, no one can call you, unlimited books, no men, you can take walks or exercise if you want, and you'll end up with a chore assignment like cooking or laundry. You might have therapy, too. Oh, and you can't leave.

Can we talk about the sinister maternity photo? All her other pics make her look like an all American country girl. Then she takes these pictures and looks like an evil queen from a Disney movie. I have never seen a maternity shoot where the mom looked like she was throwing daggers with her eyes.
