Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

I'm thinking of flying my plane to Atlanta to get a haircut since the NC (democrat) governor is being a dick.

You'll bring back a six-pack of coronas for your friends and family.

Every story that you post about AOC makes her more powerful and does just the opposite of what I assume you want. If you want to hurt her stop reporting on her.
#2 FRP on 2020-04-25 09:24 (Reply)
This outsider thinks that a member of the House who is singularly isolated in a vote this fundamental is not on a road to any kind of power. When one can observe a growing bipartisanship in the US against Chinese Communism, it is clear that the politics of AOC have become obsolete.

Claiming she's been diagnosed with corona in 3 ... 2 ... 1

"

Those of us with very little hair likely lack sufficient empathy and compassion for you others.

NYT: Chinese agents spread panic in the US

Oh, you mean Chinese agents like those FAKENEWS "jorno-lists" at the New York Times?

The ones who get their marching orders and "key words" every day at the 4:00 AM briefing?

Those CHINESE AGENTS???

Anybody who actually believes Trump is telling people to inject Lysol into their bodies should follow through on his recommendation. Do us all a favor.

Most of us drink bleach, sodium hypochlorite, daily. Thos who don't drink bleach, probably drink infused chlorine gas.

Many of us ingest some fluorine daily for good measure.

It's one one the basic ingredients in drinking water as supplied by a central water supply.
