Agree. I think for a while there we were headed in a direction that would make us better. Unfortunately, judging from comments I've had from people who assumed I felt as they did, I also, deep down, knew that the transformation was far from complete. The only difference now is that people have brought the ugliness to the surface. And just like removing a cyst-we need to make sure to remove the sac or it will keep coming back.

Had Maduro bowed down to worship the gold plated idol, would he have been taken away in the middle of the night?

I hope it works for you also! Keep us updated.

It does greatly resemble the Gilded Age. Not the one portrayed in the tv series, but the one experienced by at least 90% of the people who lived during this time.

So many fine, upstanding citizens we have in this world. Sigh...

I've heard that Grok is responsible for a bunch of posts taking pictures and changing them into nudes. Sounds like good old clean fun, eh? Anyone know if this is true?

I'm about 99% sure that little or nothing will happen to him. If nothing changes I also expect him to go on tour to speak to his adoring fans. As somebody else suggested, the 2028 RNC convention is a distinct possibility.

They also don't like that women in general are able to be in control of their bodies and lives. There's nothing worse to them than an independent, childless cat lady.

Plus anyone who suddenly is a big supporter of Drumpf because of this-probably wasn't really a supporter of Biden or Democratic policies in general.

Sadly, a lot of the farms being helped are corporate owned, too.

And in most parts of the country, people have no choice but to have at least one vehicle to get anywhere. Come to think of it, most families have to have multiple vehicles.

Oh, he's all in at this point and he knows it. I'm not sure exactly when, but at some point he decided to go for power over humanity.

I'll admit to running across the street when the coast is clear. The wait for a walk sign can be up to 2 minutes and if the beg button is broken even longer. Out of curiosity I timed the wait times for crossing Comm Ave and the average was 8 minutes. There's no way I'm waiting that long, especially if it's 10 degrees and snowing. My unpopular opinion is that right on red should be illegal in pedestrian heavy areas.

It goes back even further, back to the 40s, even. Not sure exactly when it switched parties, perhaps with Nixon.
