Good bit in Bonnie and Clyde.

We've got to stop the immigrants from eating these crows before they handle our fruit and clean our houses and kill all of us!

-- the usual suspects

He's doing a bang-up job of mangling the present and destroying the future while he's at it.

11. 1960. Reform Jew. As of about age 8, I never bought into the religious aspect of it, which was barely there even in temples in the 70s.

Nones have been rising in Pew Research for decades.

I live in the DC area, and the news radio station since Trump's election has featured noxious hourly ads from the American Petroleum Institute.

Also heard an ad the other day for the American Bankers Association saying, without irony, that the newly seated Congress was "open for business."

Long enough to plant a bug.

Based on today, it doesn't appear Trump is exactly interested in helping Zelensky on any terms except his own.

Unless I'm reading this wrong, where have you been for the last 10 years?

"Personal liberties and free markets" / "Don't tread on me" (aka libertarianism) in the 80s was euphemistic for dope-smoking Republicans.

It's become more serious that that.

I was thinking more the dumb in the dumb-ass.

I worked on a book years ago that featured a few pages on Denny's. They were rebranding to make the food look and taste better. Well, yeah, good move if you're a restaurant.

Robson, you've lost it.

"you people" start looking at democrat fat cats like Soros and Gates

and several others.....then I"m in .....

without that....this is as useless as a bookshelf at Corky's house.

Great idea for an honest conservative investigative journalism outlet. Maybe the WSJ. (Chuckle.)

Or maybe it's just nowhere near the same -- and even conservatives who aren't wrapped up in a dream world, if there are any, know there's nothing there.

Are bats particularly toothsome? Any good DR recipes?

I wonder what the result would be if Musk/Trump came out and said all necessary DOGE savings would be used to fund an excellent program of prenatal-to-grave health care.

If only someone could convince Trump he'd be wildly popular with a new demographic.

And that it has an outside chance of moving him off the bottom of the presidential ratings.

At least she was quiet.

All that Biden let in was the scum of the earth and you didn't complain so STFU.

You got the data on that, other than Gracie's crime reports?

How many immigrants came in who committed no crimes but contributed plenty to the economy of their own household, not to mention repatriating money to their home country?

Are you doing even the first of those? Maybe mowing lawns? Taking out the trash when your big brother won't do it?

People who are broke do not invest in anything.

People who are been broke have motivations to earn to invest. How much money did your forebears have when they arrived here?

And people who come in rich are more likely to continue looting the system.

Trump will probably market Gold Cards minted with Fort Knox gold, and no MAGAt will say boo.

Your MOM.

Last post before heading off to 7th grade?

They're just trying to UP the caliber of immigrants these days. People who can give back.

Sure, rich foreigners are doing great things for the US these days. Just look at DC.

I'd rather have young, highly educated foreigners, or hardworking middle-class wannabes who just want to live a life free of violence and oppression, although for the time being they may not have made the best choice of location.

Communists, no doubt.

We all question why the US is counted on to [be] the world's policeman.

Because since 1919 or so the US has always wanted to play that role.

"Othering"

Good luck explaining that one to the MAGAts.

Is "Crenshaw" Esperanto for "every thinking human"?

They should get Putin in there for a menage a toes.

Democrat politicians continue to try to politicize everything, and the public is sick of it. We want a degree of balance. There has rarely been any effort to remove politics from the arts.

Former Republican presidents managed to treat the Kennedy Center honors as they should be.

And when a president's idea of culture is "Ave Maria," "My Way," the Village People, Mein Kampf, and gold-plated toilets, maybe it is best just to close it down for a while.

"You don't like the Eagles? Get outta my fnck|ng cab!"
