#4 May your hand display all 13 spades tonight, Coriolanus.

#2 In 1929, the mob created a hit team and named it Murder, Inc..

But I'm pretty sure that they didn't actually file with the appropriate Secretary of State for incorporation.

Now, here we are almost a century later and today's organized crime adventurers thugs are actually filing with the appropriate Secretary of State for incorporation.

#4 Morris highlights two realities in one on-target post:

"Watching the US descend into Fascism due to the ignorance of the public is damned depressing."

He scoffed at the idea.

And here we are, almost 30 years later, the Fascists Republican Party have absolute power in all of Washington DC, From Article 1 through Article 3, and Americans lag behind in all the important metrics vis-a-vis education level and the ability to independently think.

Very Newsworthy, Morris, as sad as that reality is.

Very Newsworthy.

Thank you.

#64 How about we start taxing the uber-wealthy who have, for the past 40 years, been able to dodge their financial responsibilities that provide them with a country that protects them and their money and their property?

Not to mention the fact that this country has given them, the uber-wealthy, a nation of publicly educated wage-earners who can afford to buy their products/services?

How about that?

Afterall, ingratitude is a Cardinal Sin.

...we're going to flood the zone," Homan brayed. "You're going to see more ICE agents than you've ever seen before. So, congratulations."

And because all of the country's (and, indeed, the world's) media have plenty of presence in America's largest city, cameras and microphones will be everywhere, and broadcast, nightly for all of America - and the world - to see. Think the Twin Cities on steroids.

And all of this just ahead of the Fall mid-term elections. Helping to cement in the minds of America just how horrible Trump and his thugs really are. Helping Democratic candidates ... everywhere!

So, congratulations, Mr. Bags-o-Money.

#1 That is 100% true, Coriolanus.

Just as it is 100% true that criticism of the American government is not being anti-patriotic.

In fact, as is the definite case with the war criminal Bibi in Israel, I would argue that it is the most patriotic thing an American can do is to criticize Trump and his thugs ...

.... just as it is incumbent upon the citizens of Israel, to demonstrate their love of Judaism and their shared history, to also criticize the war criminal running Israel.

Thank you for posting your comment, Coriolanus, and for this thread.

#53 Well, that ("Pretty sure that's why RCade keeps me around") ...

... plus, you're a good person, Clown.

Did you know that America is a democratic republic?

#50 That is absolutely perfect, Clown.

Wish I could give it more than just one Funny flag!

So I'll throw in a N/W flag for good measure.

Good one, Clown!

#48 "Women are females. Men are males. Full stop."

So, where does that leave you, Major DEI Boazo?

#54 You do understand it was the continued support of Israel's actions that hurt Democrats in 2024, right?"

That's rewriting history to fit newer facts.

You will not find any serious study of the 2024 election results that points to "Israel's actions" as reasons why significant numbers of voters sat out the election because of Israel.

Besides... the Democrats' continued support of Israel's actions, as if Trump and the GOP were going to be Bibi antagonists?

Really?

#51 (Wish I had more than just a single Newsworthy flag for this post)

#51 Before Israel decided genocide was acceptable, no one thought twice about AIPACs influence on the government."

Your comment hits the nail right on the head.

Bravo, Clown.

Kudos ... and thank you.

#46 "Of course you don't like Crockett."

I absolutely adore Jasmine Crockett.

I do not damn her because some Web site says she's not pure enough vis-a-vis Israel.

You know, the way Caius Marcius Coriolanus damns Jasmine Crockett ... and any other Democrat who fails his purity test ...

... like the fantastic Jasmine Crockett.

#46 I absolutely adore Crockett.

'Tis people like Caius Marcius Coriolanus, who rely on AIPACTracker to condemn Democrats like the fantastic Crockett.

Why do you want people like Jasmine Crockett to lose because people like Caius Marcius Coriolanus - and you - find her not pure enough vis-a-vis Israel?

#45 "I'm never going to vote for Steyer."

SO, you prefer that the Republican candidate wins.

Noted, Clown.

#41 "If you can't understand the infectious popularity of Bernie and AOC and Mamdani and Crockett..."

You mean this Crockett, Clown?

That Crockett, Clown?

#41 Oh, and the success of people like Bernie and AOC and Mamdani and Crockett and Talarico is in spite of your trashing the common denominator they all share:

They are members of the Democratic Party ...

... the only alternative to the Republican Party in America.

#41 Doesn't answer the question, Clown...

Come November, if it is Steyer versus Hilton, who are you going to vote for?

I already said that if I lived in California I would gladly vote for Becerra in June.

But, if it isn't Becerra on the ballot in November, and it is Steyer, instead, then my vote would go to Steyer.

You ? ? ? ?

#38 So, you're voting for the Republican candidate for governor in California in November, if Tom Steyer is the Democratic nominee.

Noted, Clown.

#35 Seriously, Clown:

#33 "Liberals" are doing no such thing, Clown.

The only issue is defeating Republican candidates, from the dog house (animal control) all the way to the White House.

Your defeatist attitude vis-a-vis Democratic Party candidates is just that... defeatist.

#4 "It's not our job to take in people from across the globe who happen to live in bad countries."

Actually, it is our job ...

And thank you, Ms. Laura, for your beautiful reiteration in your #5.

I have always said, you're good people.
