Joe Ferguson forever

you seem resentful.

Bessent may be on his way out... https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/17/trump-powell-fired-fed-00295552

so we should bow our heads to Canada? You seem confused.

or....she realizes that flattery will get herea long way. You won't be seeing the Chinese doing it.

you might consider this neighborhood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia's_14th_congressional_district

Nope. I like wide open spaces and plenty of room. Is someone or something forcing you to live inner city?

youjust said you're ok with a $40 sandwich...

where did the mean dark man touch you?

no one is calling for Americans to bow their heads to other countries. It's not either or. We need countries with common interests to trust and respect us . Without that, we are on our own. That sounds good to MAGA's until they find out how much things will cost and what they'll have to do without when the full effects of isolationism come to fruition. That will be soon. And I suppose many MAGAs have never nor will ever travel internationally for pleasure. For those that do, it's going to become less pleasurable.

All very true. But 1/3 of the country and 1/2 "Republicans" support authoritarianism. They don't have the smarts to look down the road and see what that might mean for THEM. Their reality of their lives is often so far removed from ours that we don't understand the desperation needed for them to end up here.. I don't know what the answer is. Perhaps dividing the country up due to irreconcilable differences. I know which side will be more prosperous...

don't waste your time. know who they are According to a February study by the Pew Research Center, 32 percent of Americans believe a military regime or authoritarian leader (described as a strong leader who can make decisions without interference from parliament or the courts) would be a good way of governing the country. A PRRI study last October found that 38 percent of Americans (and 48 percent of Republicans, 38 percent of independents, and 29 percent of Democrats) think the country needs a leader who will “break some rules if that’s what it takes to set things right.” This 32 percent is over represented on this board. They lose if they try to play by the rules so they're all in for ignoring them.

That's easy. In the white supremacist universe.

A nice video piece on South Dkota voters current views on trump. This region of SD voted 70% trump. I used to attend a conference run by the U of South Dakota med school held at Big Sky for several years. The way the shipping exec describes the people strikes me as accurate. Some are seeing the light ( or the dark). Some still aren't. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/16/politics/video/south-dakota-trump-tariffs-elle-reeve-digvid

Nope. Idiots frequently do stupid things. This was a popular show back when America’s supposedly great. There were lots of ads for Barbasol, listerine and deodorant.

Those offenses against the constitution were chosen because the causes are unpopular. That’s the point of them. But standing up for the unpopular who are protected under the rule of law is always correct and admirable despite the political risks. You wouldn’t understand.

We are losing to China at the top and the bottom of our populations. They know this. Prohibiting interracial marriage is in no way analogous to allowing 1 st amendment protected speech and protests. This is about putting intellectuals in their place. Harvard is fulfilling their patriotic obligation battling this fascist.

except several generations of his ancestors were welfare queens and food stamp king hillbillies. they didn't build shite.

you don't like that your hero is also Putin's hero? Why not?

Well, no. That would be an incorrect conclusion: What are the median retirement savings by age? In 2023, overall median retirement savings was $13,000 per household, expanding to $29,000with the more permissive definition. Here are retirement savings medians per age: AgeMedian Retirement SavingsAlternative Definition 18-24$0.00$710.00 25-29$4,700.00$8,200.00 30-34$4,700.00$12,680.00 35-39$8,000.00$21,000.00 40-44$12,000.00$24,000.00 45-49$19,400.00$33,000.00 50-54$24,000.00$43,000.00 55-59$24,000.00$59,840.00 60-64$10,400.00$33,000.00 65-69$8,700.00$50,650.00 70-74$0.00$105,000.00 75-79$0.00$36,000.00 80+ Median is more meaningful than average since savings are so top heavy in the top 10%. How long do you think you could live on $8700? The $50000 number includes equity in a home. There would be lots of very poor retirees without Social Security. https://dqydj.com/retirement-savings-by-age/

Putin is proud of Musk. Medal likely to follow. https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-praises-elon-musk-compares-162400135.html

I think you're babbling nonsense in a lame attempt to deflect from facts. Neither clever nor funny.

All here in 5 charts but they won't look. facts don't matter to them https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/the-size-of-donald-trumps-2024-election-victory-explained-in-5-charts

no book needed. summarized in 1 sentence. $1000 invested in S&P 10 years ago, compounded and reinvested is now $3100. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/if-you-invested-1-000-in-the-s-p-500-10-years-ago-here-s-how-much-money-you-d-have-today/ar-AA1wjBZW#:~:text=If you had invested a flat %241%2C000 as,assume that you chose to reinvest all dividends. Note that this was 3 months ago, before the orange turd turned the market sour. the bear might well hang around til trump is gone and even then may linger. Not ideal for retirees... it's called capitalism. why do book burning MAGAs care about small bookstores?

yup, if you watch the stock market then you are an oligarch. These people are too clueless or too destitute to be outraged. Those two things ARE related.
