The new house speaker sums it up nicely. Any other country he'd be a padded cell, in America, he's 2nd in line for the Presidency. I was disappointed, but not surprised, by the pick. It signals that the Republican Party will allow itself to be held hostage by the Trump wing. There is a lot of time ...

https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/deleon-springs-man-78-shoots-kills-florida-neighbor-who-was-trimming-trees-deputies Now that's one polite society we've got there. And....it's conceivable he'll get off. Castle doctrine. The shooter was on his own property. The soon to be dead man was on the other ...

I would vote for her above The Evil One without hesitation, and I think enough other people would too. She isn't a "safe" candidate, though. She has a strange enough mouth that I think she would stumble, multiple times. Like Biden doesn't? Even when young, Biden was famous for bizarre utt...

What I don't understand is, other than being a non-white woman, what exactly is wrong with her? As Veep, she doesn't appear to have done anything either reprehensible or outstanding, yet she's loathed worse than Hillary. I don't think she's hideous. I think she is a fairly mainstream Democrat. And,...

Sounds like you know your stuff. Yet you don't seem screwed up enough to be Catholic. Do you know about those things you can purchase, i forget their name, that hang around the neck and get you into heaven? (They come in green and brown.) I got better. (i,e. I was raised Catholic. I gave it up when...

He should step aside. Not possible now. As always, the Dems have squandered the chance and they're stuck with Biden. The only reason he'll probably win is because the orange toad will be the opponent and there aren't enough MAGAs to vote him in. I can definitely see President Harris taking over in ...

Can one baptise oneself? Oh, it's a pool, not a font - I've been in one of those. But I'm still not sure it would count as baptising oneself. Catholics will dip and cross themselves with holy water - I think this is pretty much the same thing, just bigger because America. The dog knows what's going...

Mr. President didn't look so good in Hanoi today. Jet lag's a bitch, I suppose. ETA: I watched some of the conference, not just the worst moments, cherry-picked to seem as bad as possible. The rest of it still showed a guy struggling to think. Can this guy do the job today? Probably. Not perfectly, ...

Icerat got it going again. This happens occasionally, and to his credit he does keep it going. But I'd rather a landlord that wasn't quite as absentee. The reports of ISF death have been greatly exaggerated. It's interesting reading ISF with no option to reply. I've been lurking for a year and it d...
