Did they score 4 touchdowns in one game?

He seems to be obsessed with the purity of bodily fluids, just like Jack D. Ripper. Even looks a little like him.

I bet there are congressional staffer whose only job is to come up with clever, marketable acronyms for bills

Actually, all “standard” time means is that the time is somewhat related to the sun being directly overhead at noon. I say “somewhat” because once you carve the world up into zones like that, the sun will never be directly overhead at noon except maybe in the middle of the zone.

Did you know China has only one time zone? The entire huge country runs on Beijing time. The far west of the country sometimes doesn’t see a sunrise until 10 AM.

So, there is really nothing “standard” about Standard Time at all.

If we see Donald Trump give that big speech on Thursday in a sweater I will think we fell into the time vortex

In the weeks following a series of Democratic primary victories by progressive and democratic socialist candidates in New York, Colorado, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas, and elsewhere, Trump and his allies in the GOP have relentlessly hammered on the idea that the nation was under siege by “godless Communists” who want to “completely destroy the traditional American way of life,” rhetoric that echoed McCarthy era red-baiting to many critics.

These “Godless Communists” who are looking to “destroy the traditional American way of life” are doing it by winning elections. So, what Trump and Johnson are saying is that we should send the military after these office holders because he doesn’t like their politics.

I’m old enough to remember when everyone agreed you needed 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate

You never needed 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate. What you need 60 votes for is to decide to stop arguing and hold the actual vote, which has only ever needed a majority. Voting for cloture doesn’t necessarily mean you intend to vote for whatever is being discussed.

Edit: it turns out this was a cloture vote to begin with. So it needed 60 votes anyway.

But, because it passed with a supermajority in both houses of congress, it just became law anyway without the president’s signature,

Um Ackshually, the bill would have become law without the President signing it regardless of the size of the majority. The Supermajority matters because that’s what it takes to override a veto.

What probably happened is he wanted to veto it, but his advisors reminded him that Congress had enough votes to override it. And he couldnt let Congress have the last word on it. So, he decided that not signing it would be the best move, depriving Congressional Republicans of what might be their last chance for a major legislative signing photo-op. But while loudly complaining about his steal-all-elections bill, he could at least pivot the conversation back to where he wanted it. And then when the housing bill finally becomes law, there is no big ceremony or to-do about it, just a bunch of nerdy socialists talking about it on their social media…

Want your chance to win $100,000? Just pick the first six cities that will get obliterated in the upcoming nuclear war. We call it the “Big Bomb Parlay”…

They havent disabled the checks and balanced entirely. They still exist, but Republicans refuse to use them. Democrats had 4 years to fix it, though, and didn’t. If they do gain an advantage in Congress in the midterms, I hope they can use it.

Another impeachable offence. Let’s add it to the pile…

Oil Futures are traded on the NY Mercantile Exchange, they trade 23 hours a day (but not on weekends). So any announcement make Friday evening won’t hit the futures market until it opens back up late Sunday.

Filibustering his own death is definitely fitting for him

We finally have something in common

(Obsessing over his death, that is…)

I disagree with the premise of the article also, but for different reasons. The Democratic Party does have a base, a large one. But, much of that base is indifferent to politics. They simply don’t care, because they think they’re screwed no matter who’s in charge. (Of course, your average poster here is an exception, but let’s face it, I can count every single one of us if I take off my shoes and use my toes along with my fingers).

Couple this with our system that partitions off the country into safe, gerrymandered seats (where the primary election that hardly anyone votes in is the critical one), and you get a system where a minority of attentive people can win elections against a majority of apathetic people. And if there’s is one thing the Conservative Cinematic Universe does well, it’s holding their people’s attention by spreading attractive, convenient lies on the TV.

Ultimately, the problem with today’s Democrats is that they value truth, and sometimes the truth isn’t all that interesting. They will always be at a disadvantage when the other side can lie with impunity, and their voters not only dont mind, but ask for more lies because they validate their worldview.

Maybe it was Japan calling as a prank

The spokesperson said the Trump administration is not involved with the company

Bullshit. These stations are in his pocket

According to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan, the “Freedom Fuel Network” was registered on June 23, 2026, to Corporation Trust Company, a registered agent that has previously been used by Trump-related entities.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he managed to cut his buddies a sweet deal for Venezuelan oil, and this is how they are repaying him
