  1. his punishment for sex with a minor is that he cannot have sex with a minor for 2 years?
  2. well that is the same argument that has been made since forever and since 2009 - we cannot increase the minimum wage because it would destroy the economy and cause massive inflation, so, while corporate profits and executive pay soar, you need to keep working for the same minimum wage that is now OLDER than Uber and Instagram. NYC's will be $17 next year, so it would take a few years to get to $30
  3. i've been one of those zombies. 12:01 and doors aren't open!
  4. this is good baseline; if they do something this stupid and useless, when he ran on "kitchen table" issues, that would be a really bad sign
  5. liquor is different, but Virginia and a lot of other states have no problem running one type of grocery store 🙂 addressing the food deserts would be great; solution is hard
  6. he needs to address that; let's see if he has the political skills to defuse it; he might not same with globalize the intifada; his answers need to be clearer and shorter to this; he is appealing to logic (we should not ban words the way Trump would; Palestinians are treated like garbage) but this is an illogical time setting up gov't run grocery stores is a bit of a lark; not sure that gets past the powerpoint stage
  7. Stefanik and MAGA would have sent out breathless fund-raising emails if Cuomo won, or anyone won. the GOP called Obama, the most conservative democrat since Truman, a socialist. I really effing hate that Dems are always on the defensive - what will MAGA do? how will conservative media lie? that is at the core of the old time Dems were/are terrified about his win. stop it. his message is mostly silly, not evil, and he will need to send in the cops the first time Hamas supports riot. but this guy will be on Fox so much that you will think he was one of the 4 trans athlete in the NCAA
  8. in one alternate reality, the 2007 writer's strike never happened, so The Apprentice never happened, and Trump was killed by the Russian mob because he skimmed off the top of the money laundering at Trump properties to pay Melania's divorce settlement.
  9. every day, JD wakes up like the rest of us asking, is he dead yet?
  10. Nobel committee might hand out the The 2025 Chaos Prize to the scumbag who is having masked men grab non-whites off the street and sell them to dictators to fill their slave prisons.
  11. absolutely repulsive.
  12. members of the White House Faith Outreach team had a public prayer session today, when some members began speaking in tongues. It's a cult.
  13. Fox New Alert: Rubio begs China to not let Iran close the Straight of Hormuz, showing just how little the world respects Obama.
  14. If Iranian agents attack America, it will be all Biden's fault, unless they attack California, in which case it will be Newsome's fault, or attack Chicago, in which case it will be Obama's fault
  15. I blame Siakam
  16. Athletic gave Suns a D for trade, saying it was not enough for KD
  17. tom nichols in the atlantic And this is where the American strikes were really a gamble: They were undertaken by a White House national-security team staffed by unqualified appointees, some of whom—including the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defense himself—Trump has reportedly frozen out of his inner circle. (Given that those positions are held by Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth, respectively, it is both terrifying and a relief to know that their influence may be limited.) The American defense and intelligence communities are excellent, but they can function for only so long without competent leadership. ... But perhaps the biggest and most unpredictable gamble Trump took in bombing Iran was sending American forces into harm’s way in the Middle East with a team that was never supposed to be in charge of an actual war.
  18. i just punched you in the face; now is the time for peace!
  19. Trump repeats the "Iran is 2 weeks away from building a nuclear bomb" line also Trump, I am giving myself 2 weeks to decide what to do in hopes it just resolves itself while I golf because he is held to no standard, and because Americans for the most part lack any critical thinking skills, he gets away with this stupidity again and again
  20. from that well-known liberal rag the WSJ: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Poised for More Power Ousting or killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could lead to more radical, anti-Israeli Iran “The balance of power within Iran in the aftermath of this will shift in the direction of the military, in the direction of the Guard,” said Ray Takeyh, an Iran expert and senior fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations. “Those in charge will be the men with guns. And they will try to bring back some sort of clerical leadership because, after all, this is an Islamic Republic.”
  21. Tucker Carlson humiliated Ted Cruz, something that Ted usually pays people to do but Tucker did it for free. The similarities between Iraq and Iran are striking. Neocons say we have to drop bombs to protect Israel, just like we had to remove Saddam (in part) to protect Israel. Iran is about to have WMDs that threaten Americans, just like Saddam had WMDs. If we drop bombs on Iran, it will spur regime change, just like Bush 1 encouraged an Iraqi uprising against Saddam and when the Kurds and others followed through, Saddam gassed them to death and we did nothing. Also, there is no guarantee that regime change will happen; or that the next person will not be more insane. Considering the current government of Iran was installed after a popular uprising, unlikely that having the US turn parts of Iran into a nuclear wasteland for all eternity will inspire Iranians to do what the US wants. There will never be US boots on the ground in Iran as that alone would coalesce all Iranians against the US, and Trump has no stomach for it (thankfully). So any "war" would be us bombing lots of Iranians from 30,000 feet. Any extended bombings would kill another 100,000+ civilians but no one cares about that. I wish there would have been some way to have a diplomatic solution where Iran would agree to forego nuclear weapons in exchange for something else.
  22. article about Tigers and their affiliates mostly all in 1st place. https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/tigers-farm-system-nearing-playoff-success-at-multiple-levels?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage
  23. neither of the people I voted for in the VA dem primary won, and i don't care. Spanberger will win in a blowout and hopefully carry any other 2 dems across the finish line.
