"The kangaroo is a funny animal. When attacked, it defends itself." ~ Neville Cardus "This is what I observe or expect to happen" isn't the same as "This is what I want to happen." Not even remotely close.

I honestly don't know, but we are getting some more color about why Ds have been so hesitant to defend the republic they clearly don't believe in it either - fuck norms they're not even going with the actual rules of the game already in progress

Wait, won't they be getting rid of the FBI under Project 2025?

Half the fun is in being surprised by what you don't see until you open the door. Imagine not thinking there is a pie, not seeing one, but you open the door, and voila, PIE!

"Wrayhur" = the last-minute revelation of "interesting documents" on Hunter Biden's laptop causing Wray and Hur to reopen the Biden classified documents investigation?

The 1990 Gulf War erased the lessons of the Vietnam War and led to the disasters that were Afghanistan and Iraq. Russia cannot be defeated by a proxy war. So Ukraine will be forced to give up its east. Next year, a negotiated truce. No one will trust us again. Taiwan's next.

He is? I am thinking "If Clooney met Biden last month at a fundraiser, why did he wait a whole month to share that he feels Biden was totally gone?" That is what I am thinking. Clooney is silent on that. He is also silent on Project 2025.

Huh? Says nothing about Project 2025. Besides, if Clooney saw him just last month, why the fuck did he wait until now?

The Clippers are planning for a clean sweep of their playoff series next season, and hoping that the Dallas Mavericks do not trade Kyrie.

"There is little evidence to support these claims, however, and the risk of serious illness is much greater." Try "Evidence shows that raw milk consumption incurs a high risk of serious illness. Pasteurization, a process attributed to Louis Pasteur, a French scientist, mitigates it greatly."

Yup. I want someone else to propose legislation to "Defund Project 2025." "But it is not funded." "Okay, how about defunding Project 2025 *and* ACORN, then?"

It is what I said at the time, and repeat often. $42B was overpaying for a social media platform but a bargain for a propaganda platform that endears him to autocrats, Republicans, and the mainstream media. His share was only $15B-$19B.

I imagine that there would be a bloody conflict that would significantly dwarf the effort it took to reclaim Kuwait from Iraq. I hate to say it, but Ukraine will be unable to regain Crimea for instance. They are truly fucked, and it is gut-wrenching to say this.

The Republicans hate celebrities so much, that they elected two B-grade celebrities to be Presidents.

On marriage equality, there were a lot more Democrats pulling for it than Republicans. But Hillary and Obama were more opportunistic. Even when Prop 8 could have aborted before it gained steam, Obama hesitated and gave a wishy-washy thumbs up for traditional marriage.

Since DeSantis is not invited to speak, I suspect Christian Nationalist Hawly will jump to the front of the line. Probably will trample over Cruz and Rubio on his way there.

Likewise, although if the successor is not Harris, replacing Biden will not do Democrats any favors, because it won't be quick or unanimous.

No, he will reopen the Biden classified documents probe, because a couple of questionable documents were found on Hunter Biden's laptop.

It'll take an effort significantly bloodier in part of the UN or at least NATO than it took to make Iraq give back Kuwait. If we are serious about "NEVER AGAIN" that's the challenge.

"Scholars and Scoundrels owners Chad M. Craig and Anthony Petronella have not commented on the incident or confirmed whether the attacker is an employee." Very veteran-supporting of them.
