My mother was our cub scout leader. She was very kind to all of them and they loved her except for Phil. I think she generally followed the cub scout manual as to what activities we would do each week. Phil was a punk and nobody liked him. One week, we were building a bird house and he got jealous because another kid was building a better one than him. So, he started a fight with the other kid. My mother kicked him out of the house, and went ballistic screaming and making gestures as he left. MAGA would have supported Phil.

Too woke? Is Hegseth 12 years old?

Government employees are not high paid. They make less than their private sector counterparts. The amount saved is gong to be miniscule in the grand scheme of things. It's all about cruelty and revenge and putting on a show.

She may have done what she had to do politically, but if a Republican groveled to Trump, that person would be ridiculed here (Rubio or Graham for example). She's fair game.

She ran a bad campaign She didn't campaign hard enough in some swing states and lost them. I really hope there are some new candidates with pulses next time.

It's a stupid question. Of course. more manufacturing jobs would be a good thing in a vacuum. However, if other sectors are suffering at their expense then it's not a good thing.

It's because the party decides on a candidate and puts all their resources into that person. Clinton turned out to be a bad choice. Biden may have been the right choice in 2020, but I think he won because Trump's idiocy was on display every single day during the worst public health crises of our lifetimes. In 2024, people were mad about high prices, they blamed that on Biden and they forgot how much of a moron Trump is.

That's easy. A bunch of candidates left the primary trail at around the same time, so the entire party could rally around Biden.

The Dodgers will probably lead the Majors in wins this year, but they are currently in third place. They are not the unbeatable super power everybody was making them out to be when they swept the Tigers. The Tigers almost won two games in that series.

I think the Democratic party has pretty much decided their preferred candidate ahead of time the last two elections. Then they decided another one on the fly in 2024! I suggest they leave it wide open in 2028. Otherwise, it will be hard for many people to take their claims of "defending Democracy" seriously. Let the people decide who they want.

Getting ghosted by Trump is a badge of honor.

I did the same thing last year with my bank account money. 4.7% is better than 0%.

They have the starting pitching to do so. Their hitting is not likely to maintain the current pace, but it looks much improved over last year.

It's a little early to be writing them off...but I agree they don't look impressive. The Tigers on the other hand are giving me a really good feeling. Last year was fun, but there was luck involved. This year, there is no luck about it so far. They are just playing great ball. Their hitting will likely slow down, but their pitching should get better. For what it's worth, I was just looking at their playoff odds on fangraphs and B-ref and they have the highest probability of any team in the American League.

Wouldn't killing people mean there would be fewer people to buy stuff? Poor people don't matter to them, but people wealthy enough to take cruises are useful.

They are already going after scientists, researchers. universities, etc. It is pretty obvious by the departments they are targeting anybody who is using critical thnking or learning how to do so. These people go against their best interests.

Anybody with any clout whether it be a big country or a big company can get what they want out of him. Then he beats up on the weaker ones and celebrates. It seems to happen frequently.

The big companies always get what they want. In this case, it might be a good thing in that someone is standing up to King McDonald, but I think the small companies are still going to get hurt.

We're becoming too hopeless here. The activists are driving Musk out. Who or what can we go after next? I know it can't be psycho Trump, but there are other options which can hurt him.

But you said right now!

Either him or Dingler.

The market historically does better under Democrats. I think they wanted Trump because he jerked around the market in his first presidency in their favor. This time, not so much.

I think Wall Street won't let him get away with it. I believe they have a lot of influence and are pissed off about the tariffs. Then again, they would like the dove too.

According to the link that Del posted, he can not install a lackey.

Has your party made a decision on who is going to get the Presidential nomination in 2028 yet?
