My days are filled with walking dogs, doing dishes, playing guitar, taking pictures, reading books, and making tv shows. Maybe not in that order.

He must not pump his own gas, shop for his own groceries, or pay for his own meals in restaurants.

Which is why it needs an invisible hand.

The liars are all Republicans, who cannot be shamed, or β€œcanceled” by polite society.

The party is the problem, it requires all its members to place itself ahead of the nation. Congress abdicates, POTUS does whatever he wants, and SCOTUS delays adverse decisions as long as it can.

Hegseth vows thorough probe of school strike that Trump blamed on Iran The announcement appeared to tacitly acknowledge a growing body of evidence that U.S. forces, not Iran, were responsible for the deadly attack.

What is this if not regurgitating a political smokescreen?

The military has already acknowledged it hit the school and doesn’t need Hegseth’s β€œvows” to complete understanding how it happened.

Never expected to see Republicans using dead soldiers as fundraising props, but here we are.

They all ran against FEMA.

I mean, I'm old enough to remember when "FEMA concentration camps" was a thing for these guys.

The OT is full of example of God "hardening the heart" of leaders and then serving up a can of whoop-ass on the entire hard-hearted nation.

If the religious right is correct, that God wants Trump to lead America, then they should re-read their scriptures. It often does not turn out well...

Roy Cohn taught Trump how to use the law in bad faith, and Trump has never forgotten those lessons.

Nero was also "loud, colorful, and flamboyant, and killed a lot of people" but is remembered as consequential, but not great.

I love that he thinks he put out the California fires by releasing water from Shasta...and that water in Seattle would just flow down to Los Angeles if we let it.

Gravity apparently pulls everything south...

Buechner: "OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, anger is..the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past...to savor...both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back...it is a feast fit for a king. The...drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself."

I'm old, so I remember when Republicans ensured everything was paid for, and used higher taxes to curb the public appetite for government spending.

The Conservative Movement attacked "tax and spend" and RINOed out moderates, so now it's "Nothing is more important in the face of war than tax cuts."

No matter the truth of things, Trump and his minions have seen to it that the Ellison family will forever be viewed as MAGA tools, doing whatever Trump wants.

The Judge here is running for SCOTUS, using language his audience of 1 one understands, knowing the Republican Senators who confirmed Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr., and Kash Patel will do as they're told.

You'd thin a serially wrong pundit would lose all credibility with media organizations, but the reverse seems true.

Prediction: 'The end of the month" will become Bret Stephens' version of a Friedman Unit, or a Trump "two weeks."

For a group that’s all about AI, the idea that tariff refunds must be manually processed seems … interesting.

Or he never learned the word "incursion" and it made sense to him that a war is like a trip.

We'll just offset gas price increases with job cuts.

Cramer is interesting because he's so clearly and regularly wrong, yet enough people follow him that he impacts markets.

Republicans think reality is whatever they want it to be. From 2004:

"...when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out..."
