I just dropped some friends off who are going to Costa Rica and they didn’t know this. They were happy.

I love that account. My friend and I do that very thing with each other. Mix up people and events.

and until about 50 years ago many religious people thought color of skin and gender would have been one of those curses.

Cheney is more of a conservative than 99.9% of elected GOP officials.

When they say Hussein you know they're serious....

Twitter gives us a false sense of expectation. We see some guy state something in all caps and it makes it appear urgent and imminent. It took over 2 years for anyone to go to jail over watergate.

What do you mean "excuse"? Are you talking about laws and customs? That is where the problem exists. We don't excuse rapists, murderers, and cleptomaniacs because your God tells us we don't excuse them. We don't excuse them because they are committing crimes that exist outside the establishment or existence of any religion. I don't need a God, a Bible, a Koran, or any other religious teaching to tell me those things are wrong. Homosexuality is not a crime. It may be morally wrong according to your beliefs but your beliefs stay with you and nobody else has to abide by them.

I believe the DOJ is doing things but Garland's not going to announce that at a press conference.

I'm not sure there's anything big there. Milley wanted someone to tell him to do it and in his opinion Pence was good enough at that very moment. It was an emergency. Consequences and chain of command be damned.

My wife used to work at Structure in the 90s at fairlane mall. It was a mens clothing store. At the time a lot of the teams would stay at either the Hyatt or the Ritz. She waited on many famous people over the years. The only jerk she came across was LaRussa.

Ramsey.. cough cough yeah I saw that about DeSantis a few days ago and thought the same thing. The only checks we write is to our house keeper who isn't on Venmo yet. In fact I don't think I ever balanced a checkbook and I'm 48. I've always had online banking.... I see it every day.

exactly. None of our laws should be based on something in a religious text or teaching.

wearing a patch to acknowledge some of your fans is not endorsing a lifestyle. Sometimes certain Christians can be the biggest snowflakes around.

When the right acts like our amendments are "God Given" and somehow sacred.... they insert a line that they then can claim they are incapable of crossing for religious reasons.

I just looked and I do.... In the Heat of the Night is on, the TV show, which my dad loved, and now I am watching and thinking of him and my slacker days in the 1990's where I would hear this kind of show in the background while I ate pizza and wondered what I was going to do all day. It's from 1993. My dad suffered a TBI the year I was born so there was that.... but imagine his excitement when he found the original movie on TV and realized that was the origin. "Hey look... see that guy... his name is Virgil... I'll be goddamn...."

So Mize is getting a 2nd opinion? I assume that's bad? Or precaution? I missed the news. just saw it on the ticker last night.

If they were to go to fact based, like I think CNN used to be, right or wrong, when I was a kid, I would watch. But would enough other people? I want something that's not a bunch of people yelling at each other about. I prefer their coverage on election nights because John King with his board seems to play it straight while Wolf just stammers along like Jim Price, 2 steps behind the action. I miss the old CNN Headline News, the way it was. Watch for 15 minutes and you know what's going on. But they do have Robin Meade.

nope. And Dewey, even though he was a two time loser, still held enough clout with the bosses who matter. Dewey was instrumental in getting both Nixon and later HW Bush the attention of the party elite. How much history did he change without being POTUS?

Remember when Fox Sports Net was new? They used to troll ESPN with commercials about how they would be showing real sports and not some of the things ESPN was known for in the early days. They'd show what looks like some Easter European guys in a dungeon seated across from each other like you think they would start arm wrestling, then a guy would just slap the other one and everybody cheers. Loved those.

McCarthy wouldn't even be a thing. He's now the mainstream GOP. Ike would have been called a RINO. In '52 there was a real divide in the party when Ike announced he was a republican and would run. Taft was the America First candidate, sound familiar? He was strong in the midwest and south. Sound familiar? Ike was the preferred candidate by the establishment liberal NE wing of the party. Sound familiar? Overall Taft got more votes in the primary. Nixon was the concession add on to appease the hard cores.

Quick glance at Ingraham and she’s wondering where the hearings are for left wing riots. That’s the play by the right.

NASCAR banned confederate flags so I think they might be too woke for them

Wow. I had not. That’s cool.

Last night I made a “if I am in a coma put headphones on me and play these songs” list. I wanted longer songs with a jam flavor to them. Papa was a rolling stone since I’ve been loving you (live version) low spark of high heeled boys mountain jam (live version) in memory of Elizabeth Reed no quarter (live version) sugaree (Phil Lesh and friends from a festival in 2016)

"I wish these celebrities would keep their mouth shut about politics.... oh by the way did you hear what Ted Nugent said about Kamala...."
