The act never changes, no matter what the horror.  He's simply dead inside.

The rallies on Saturday gave at least a tiny glimmer of hope.  Shocked that there were 5 separate rallies within like 30 minutes of where I live, very solid red areas.  The energy and enthusiasm were encouraging and amazingly high numbers of people.  Attended my first Pride as well a supporter of the community since it was going on just before the rally.  Just a great day all around.

Woman Forced to Carry Deceased Fetus to Term

What's especially infuriating, is the child has been diagnosed with having fluid on the brain, and will likely be born, if he survives, with severe disabilities.  The same mother****ers who claim to be "pro life" just voted to cut all the services this little boy will need to have any chance at life, Medicaid, SNAP, etc.  Plus, the dead Mom's family will probably be billed hundreds of thousands of dollars for "medical care" for forcing their dead daughter to be an incubator.  Hate is too kind of a word for these people.

I have never really, fully bought into the whole "Dementia Don" notion that Donald Trump has dementia. I think it is dangerous when non-medical professionals sit behind a CPU screen and try to diagnose an individual with something as serious as dementia or alzheimer's. I think Trump just isn't a very smart human being and that gets intermixed with the fact that he might be a malignant narcissist. Again, I'm not a medical professional, so I can't say for certain if Trump is a diagnosed malignant narcissist. He sure seems like one though.

I can say with 100% certainty that he has some sort form of dementia based solely on the fact the MAGAts accused Biden of having it.  Everything they accuse the Democrats of doing is a self own.  

There's also that little election interference thing.

agreed but in a way...so what?  if they were in a position to make a cup run then maybe.  

honestly, did you want them to pay first round picks for depth defensemen this year?  i didnt.  it was wise not to.

the real question is why they are still not in the position to do that, and as you point out, the blame for that lies with yzerman's regime.

here's a question about yzerman: he brought in brisebois and verbeek to tampa and helped build a juggernaut.  both those guys - especially brisebois, but verbeek has been off to a solid start in anaheim - have been successful elsewhere.  perhaps yzerman made the wrong hires in detroit simply to placate the red wings "alumni" club?  draper, kronwall, lidstrom, cleary, fischer....perhaps these guys arent good enough?

whomever brought you this offseason should be sacked for sure.

Isn't there anything in between contender and not making the playoffs?  Or giving up ASL or ND and first rounder for old, useless defenseman with a big contract?  The rebuild is a process, and making the playoffs is a step in the process.  Losing in the first round is not for nothing.  It's a learning experience that can't be replicated by anything else.  It's good for the players, the fans and the organization.  It took the Wings 10 years to get a Cup AFTER they made the playoffs for the first time.

Because the right needed a new boogeyman after critical race theory got old. 

Same with Trans.  Gays were the bogeyman, and then oops, half of them were going on Grinder or then found out they had gay kids and relatives.  Same thing will happen.  Ditto with the "illegals".  It was the Irish, the Italians, the Asians, Arabic/Muslim, now it's the Mexicans.  If they can't "other" and incite hate, their back of tricks is empty.  Obviously effective because we're losing our democracy, but DEI and woke and something something.

I think that, in general, a fairly substantial number of voters got tired of hearing about DEI being shoved down their throats all over the place and that got tied to politicians, deservedly so or not.  Even a dummy like Trump was able to see that and he jumped on it running campaigns around racism for 12 years.  There was a chance for a politician on the other side to counter that with some kind of intelligent nuanced view on DEI, but all they did was add to the problem by hammering Trump and his followers for his bigotry.  That didn't help.     

 

Spoken like an old white guy.  The people who wanted everyone to have an equal shot based on their qualifications are the bad guys.  It's called propaganda and you fell for it.  

Feels like the Ottawa home and home a few years ago and the ending feels like it will be the same, too

You don't have to give these people a seat at the table, they don't even want one, but the ask is to not mock them or scream in their face.  You say "Yeah, he's a bad guy.  Welcome to the party.  Here's more information.  MTU is right.  There are people who are not engaged like we are in this.   

We go after dems for having purity constests and compliment the GOP for "coming home to vote".   This is an example of that.  You need their votes.  It might make you feel good to say I told you so and **** off.... but where does that get you electorally?  What is the goal?  To scream or to win elections?

I've blocked and snoozed a lot of liberals b/c I don't need a daily 4 page rant from Heather Cox Richardson or Occupy Democrats to tell me what I already know.

 

I disagree.  The Dems having been doing this "let's have a conversation" thing for how long?  The notion that there's all these sweet innocent country folk who just didn't know better is bull****.  Even poor "Ryleigh" or whatever from Baldwin.  She basically wanted free **** for herself but didn't want those black or brown people to have it.  Chances are she married a MAGAt and that's what changed her vote from 2020.  She was also sexually assaulted as a teen and still voted for a sexual assaulter. But sure, let's present facts to these dolts. I mean, why don't we sit down and have a nice chat with those who were gassing and burning other humans?  I mean, some compassion is in order.  

If y'all wanna buy the bull**** about it being about inflation or the lab leak or Biden's age, have at it.  I'm sticking with the mocking, shaming and watching the face eating the traitors who knew exactly what they were voting for.  When there's nothing left but bones and the leopard burping, they may start to reconsider their vote.

I sure have. I worked for Magna Styer in the late 90’s We were developing a roots based super charger for GM. They sent an email stating if you are not at least a Process Engineer you will be let go. We got a WARN notice and a 3 weeks severance as a COBRA carry over. My daughter was 2 and on a special asthma treatment. I had to sell my 69 Camaro and cash out my 401K to make ends meet. Guess what? Nooobody cared except my wife and I. We figured it out and opened my own business. Been really happy ever since. 

Guess how your daughter's asthma treatment was developed and funded.  I'll wait.

If you had no one else in your life that cared that you were struggling, that speaks volumes.

It’s called life. You don’t like where you work, go find another job. You chose to work there you can chose to leave. 

Didn't you choose to leave here, but lied about it and then came crawling back?

I feel like the "Trump voter Federal Worker who got laid off and regrets vote" is this years undecided voter at the diner.

This is delicious.  I could not love it more.  Just the pick me up I needed.  I'll definitely have to send it to my MAGAt family members.

Yep. Us too.  Luckily he’s still on my plan but when he’s 26… Medicaid it is. Oh well.  I guess it’s his fault to the maga dip****s out there.  Anybody who supports these cuts  can suck my….  

FYI, he can be covered under both before he's 26.  With Medicaid as the primary and your insurance as secondary or vice versa.  There are things covered under Medicaid that aren't under traditional insurance.  Going forward, who knows.

Having coached travel baseball for years you are required to show birth certificate for all players at sanctioned tournaments, pretty simple step.

Imane Khelif had a valid birth certificate saying she was born female,  but it didn't stop you pervs from questioning her gender and putting her life at risk.  

Nice to see you were so triggered you couldn't stay away.

At some level, I think it's a deep-rooted fear that they'll glimpse a female athlete, their lizard brain will go "she's hot!", then find out the athlete was transsexual, so they'll then think that makes them a homosexual

They're already on the Trans porn sites and meeting the drag queens at the motel after church on Sundays.  Its all projection. The loudest trans and homophobes are in the closet.  Book it.

This was in reference to a NYT piece interviewing someone in El Paso who said they regretted their vote (ie Leopards eating faces circumstances)

We have to stop thinking in generalities, these types of people are inevitably going to exist. As easy it is to go to vindictiveness, people need to act with grace and save their ire for the candidate and now POTUS and his cronies who are inflicting the damage

You can lead the welcoming committee.  I'll keep being vindictive bitch, thankyouverymuch.  They knew.  All of it.  Who he was, what he stood for, the people it would hurt. They DID. NOT. CARE.  They laughed at the thought of other people suffering and still voted for him. Not forgiving and definitely not forgetting.

A hundred million people love him madly and are willing to follow him off the cliff, and that is a crucial ingredient in the fascist overhaul of America, of which he is the face if not the architect. So his cabal are going to do everything they can to keep him propped up for four years and beyond, even if it practically kills him. If they have to Bernie the guy to do it, so be it. It's anybody's guess how far he makes it.

Like holic, they realize that he's made a fool of them and they'd rather run away than admit they were duped.

Odd side note, but where did Tim Kaine reappear from?  Like he's more visible now than he was during the 2016 campaign.  One of the dinosaurs, but seems to have a feel for the moment.  

I have zero doubt that they're combing through the victim list hoping one of the pilots or Air Traffic Controllers were women or people of color so they can blame DEI hires for the tragedy.
