@Gambit_1 You'd think so. While I am not up on CA politics, I've been reading that Bonta has been leaning right as of late.

The White House is calling Rep. Barry Loudermilk's bluff by allowing him to see unredacted versions of some transcripts of interviews by the House Select Committee that investigated the J/6 Capitol riots, albeit w. some important strings attached.

There was definitely more to say than I addressed here, but there'll be time enough in the coming months for the rest, I'm sure.

The real site of grief today, for my US friends, is the election you *won't* get to have in November, thanks to your narrowed options for presidential candidate.

There are so many important economic, legal, and foreign-policy issues you should be seeing hashed out on the main stage.

But the 2024 election has already been stolen--from you.

PSA

I am going to take a few days off the net. My world has conspired to ask me to do this. I am sure I could come up with some snappy, inspiring, reason for this. But it don't matter. The truth is much more mundane, and simple.

Grief

That sneaky bastard has come unannounced, to visit.

So I will leave you with this:
Till I return.

@Gambit_1 there’s gonna be a lot of traumatized people when Texas goes blue

@kel If you're looking for something arbitrary to freak out about, here's an idea: how about the fact that the number of possible combinations of a standard deck of playing cards is so astronomically large that shuffling a deck could result in a unique arrangement that has likely never existed before in the history of the universe? It's mind-boggling to think about just how vast the possibilities are! So, go ahead and have a mini freak-out moment about the mind-blowing randomness and infinite possibilities of a deck of cards.

@Gambit_1

Makes me sick to my stomach.

We elected the first black Sheriff of Buncombe County NC. His experience as Asheville cop & approach to cop retraining is amazing.

@Gambit_1 People need to go to prison over this obstruction of justice.

@Gambit_1

Shit hole USA 2.0. No one is stopping them.

I would love to see it. Right after they learn they won't have the right to vote or free speech.

#petpeeve People who answer questions like this:

EDIT: The issue is not the socks, mmmkay? But rather that this guy and others like him answer in the negative but start the sentence with an affirmative and vis-versa.

EXAMPLE:

Me: Do you want these socks or should I take them to the thrift store?

Him: Yes. I DON'T want those socks.

I taught my sons to be careful around police. Not The Talk mothers of color have with their kids (could be deadly), but do not trust anything they say. Ever.

When you grow up in Detroit area, you learn.

@davidfrum

This is one rare instance of Trump telling the truth. He will rapidly settle the war between Russia and Ukraine by betraying Ukraine to his sponsors and patrons in Russia.

Quote @nexta_tv

Trump promised that if he wins the presidential election, he will resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine even before his inauguration

"We will settle this terrible war between Russia and Ukraine before I even take office [as president of the United States]," he said…
