The proportion of adults in the United States younger than 50 years old who do not have children is growing — leaping from 37% in 2018 to 47% in 2023, according to a new Pew Research Center survey published Thursday. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/26/health/childless-adults-pew-research-wellness/index.html Also: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/07/25/the-experiences-of-u-s-adults-who-dont-have-children/

Back in the day, as the kids of 1991 like to say, we would run onto the field and burn an American flag and then throw our lighter at any player who swooped in to pick it up, and we loved it. Kids today just have no values.

As if we needed any more reasons to fear and loathe Donald Trump, his intentional hiding of the details surrounding this shooting incident is merely one more data point working against him. The election probably won’t turn on this and only this, but there is no real reason he must keep this information from the American public. The only reason I can come up with is that he was not actually hit by a bullet, which is more than plausible, but he needs us to believe he was so people will vote for him as an American hero or something, so it’s merely one more lie from a liar who to all appearances hates the truth. No, I don’t have any proof of this, but I am a voter who can come to my own conclusions about it, and I will remind everybody with whom I happen to get into a conversation about the election about how he is hiding the details of the incident.

You misspelled “projecting”.

When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis entered a hotel in Iowa on Friday, he was immediately ambushed by a woman who peppered him with questions about when he would “drop out” of the race and whether he’s “already wasted enough of people’s money” as she followed him with a camera. Afterward, the encounter found its way to social media. The woman — far-right social media influencer Laura Loomer — cut a scene in which she said DeSantis “looked petrified,” adding she believed “his soul left his body when he saw me.” “He’s going to lose,” Loomer, a twice-failed congressional candidate and self-described “proud Islamophobe” said in a clip filmed outside the hotel. “President Trump is going to kick his a-- on Monday, Jan. 15. And that’s it for Ron. You killed your political career and I hope you’re happy. You just got Loomered, b----.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trumps-embrace-far-right-activist-laura-loomer-worries-allies-rcna133190

On the other hand, what is a real story is Trump’s dealings with Saudi Arabia.

It isn’t often is, is it?

Hey, man, it’s France. When in Rome and all that.

Is there a corresponding news story about this?

I have it on good authority that Jesus just left Chicago, and he’s bound for New Orleeeeeans …

“If some of you weren’t so busy trying to end the Department of Education, you might know this!” 💀💀💀

I’m pretty sure that Christians believe that both the world and the afterworld revolve around them. They have an entire master plan for both that’s in wide distribution. You probably have it lying somewhere around the house.

Christians have a persecution complex because Christianity itself is predicated on a very basic persecution origin story.

Augurs well for the contract being a bargain.

A lot, if not most, teams play their Saturday games an hour earlier than their weeknight games.

Good point. This idea runs along the lines of RBI not being a good stat by which to judge hitters, but you can’t suck if you have 120 of them.

This team might look really really different on Wednesday.

Is that "wait what" for my comment? If so, my intention was to make a sly reference to the specifically white nature of their creepy-ass nationalism. If the "wait what" is for his noxious commentary, then never mind. 😁

I don't mind the vibe shift at all, although I think it would come off better if they would clean up some of the overly casual verbiage like "lied about other stuff" (which looks out of place where they put it anyway) and "went on and on and on". But I definitely like that they are attacking his speeches and rallies immediately after they occur, basically, not letting what he says just lay there and fester. Fight fire hose with fire hose, I say.

Hey dumbass: there is already a mechanism by which someone making $100,000 with three kids pay less in taxes than someone making $100,000 with no kids. It is called "child tax credit" are it's available to single filers making under $200,000 and joint filers making under $400,000.

As I was saying ...

lol couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Mighty white of him to say so.

Hey, I just now noticed: Trump made him dump the beard, and he looks just like an incel.

I'm guessing this has something to do with that.
