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 couldn’t read the whole TGIF article. Subscription required. I did follow the anti Gaetz linked article from The Dailey Beast. The Dailey Beast looks like a rendition of The National Inquirer. Gaetz sure has gotten under the skin of all the wrong people. I will say that his lone vote against the human trafficking bill is odd. I don’t think he stands a snowballs chance in hell of being confirmed by the swamp creatures in the Senate. However, Gaetz is another one of Trumps picks that have had negative run-ins with the swamp, that right there gives me confidence in his character. I’m still reserving judgment.
Science is a long way from being saved. Scientific American hasn’t been worth reading since the 80’s. I canceled my subscription when they dedicated an entire edition to missile defense - how it will never work. Impossible.
What ever Don Jr’s role in this version of Trump, I’m grateful for his leadership. America would be gone had that imbecile Kamala been elected. We still have a long haul ahead of us. The demoncrats have a 100 year head start. There is an entire generation of young white women and men, that have severe mental health issues. How do we help them?
Here’s hoping that the next two years bring about some real change in Washington. Any amount of gutting government, I shall cheer on with great enthusiasm. Make America Great Again!
Driving around on my chores up here in Canada, I've been tuning my radio to the SiriusXM "Progress" channel (I think it's channel 127).
I don't know whether it's funny or sad but the key theme is denial of course.
Instead of perhaps pondering what they might have done wrong in the election (i.e., a little honest introspection on how to rebuild the Democratic Party for the next election), the folks at this channel have decided to offer - some surprise! - más de lo mismo.
Yeah, sure, that'll work.
Oh, and here's a tip, freely offered: expressions like the resistance and the struggle continues don't work with regular folks, who quite correctly view them as the tired tropes of failed, third-rate countries like Cuba.
