An older guy, spending time ignoring that I'm an older guy, and, sadly, failing at the mission. Sure, I have some wisdom, but you'll have to hear a 15 minute prequel story about a topic with vague connections before the actual wisdom is presented.

The most shocking part of of the whole tRump/Minage ass thing is that he had to ask for her to show it off. Dude, you know she was a stripper, right?

Wouldn't it be nice if the old guard Dems in the House and Senate greeted their new colleagues with, "What can we do to help with why you got elected"? Instead of, "So, this is how things work around here".

Fun fact: If you accept a pardon you cannot plead the fifth. Be crazy if some really sharp lawyers were able to ask some very precise questions about state level felonies to all these folks.

the number of “yes on 42, no on 40” ads I’m seeing here in LA is depressing remember: yes on the billionaire tax (40), no on the ones canceling the billionaire tax (41 and 42)

HEY! CALIFORNIA! Prop 42 is the Billionaires trying to keep the money they should've already paid. No on 42. Yes on 40. Now, back to the national lunacy.

Remember that feeling you had in 2023 when Biden announced he was running again? That "awww... noooo" feeling? She gave it her best (straight down the middle) shot, but, Ms. Vice President Harris, I really don't want to have that feeling again in '27.

The founding fathers envisioned the Constitution as a living, breathing document that was to change as America aged. In that spirit, let's take a good, long look at the Amendments that made absolute sense when there were writing to where we are today. Looking at you, 2nd. And you, Pardon Powers.

I'd like to meet the tRump advisor that told him "Sir, your base is really fucking stupid and racist, so just say whatever's on your mind. They'll love it! Poling will go through the roof!" I'd buy that person a beer . A light beer. A Coors light beer. Cuz fuck that tRump adjacent prick.

Is it just me, or does a typo on a post AFTER it's been posted drive you crazy? And yes, I doubled checked the above twice before I posted it. I checked the above just once.

I used to wonder why the Nazis kept fighting when they KNEW it was all over. Then I saw the latest tRump rally. I get it now.

Trump White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers — as Trump allies press the administration to protect lower-ranked officials from prosecution and other legal challenges, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.

Hmmm... If Elon's Starlink is so "twitchy" as to fail in Ukraine, and if I were able to subpoena people, I'd have Starlink's top tech people in front of my panel to answer a few questions under oath.

A post about truck nuts got me thinking. A good ol boys slaps them on his 4x4, but why not all the genitalia? C'mon Bubba, appreciate the whole package! If your in MAGA it's almost required at this point.

Maxie believing she is in some sort of dog jail. She eventually discovered it was a "jail" of her own making and escaped. I enjoyed my outdoor pub visit reflecting on the wisdom she taught me. And the pilsner.

Yelp, it's looks like from the day mail-in ballots go out, to the day of election, any USPS employee directly handling them should be wearing body cams.

Remember the whole "Daddie's home" thing during the tRump campaign? Well, I think we've seen the kind of "Daddie" tRump was to his family as well.

Ever see the South Park episode where they discover how the jokes on Family Guy are constructed? That's what tRump's speeches sound like.

Why is the GOP so silent? Seriously, why? They know something, and I think that something is they believe they're keeping jobs after the midterms. The silence is disturbing.

Oh the crypto scam bots are active today! They do sound a morose, perhaps over the loss of the bretheren in the Ukrainian data center hits.

Let's pretend this alleged Russian diesel arrived yesterday. It would be gone already. MAGA, thank you for this "Golden Age" you've brought the rest of us.

I think the reason Americans don't go off the rails about what tRump says in his speechs is because 75% know he's not real president. He's a fucking moron. And when you put a moron in front of a cult following, this is the end result.

So... tRump is gay, and nothing wrong with that. Another reason he's more GOP than Dem. Interesting story about why he has to wear a diaper, and why his primary care physician was a gastroenterologist. It's in the files.

So, Hitler Putin offers up Lukoil to Todd Boehly's investment firm. Guess who Todd is besties with... Did you guess tRump? Ding ding! Winner winner chicken dinner! tRump bending the knee makes even more sense. It's always about the grift.
