I see Jared Taylor's name in the Bluesky post and Politico link. Oh, he's a catch. Yikes.

Taylor is a Yale-educated, white supremacist crackpot and longtime Trump supporter who's familiar to us in Louisville, where he printed his supremacist/eugenicist journal, American Renaissance, for many years before it was moved online.

Well, at least now it has statehood!

(sorry)

Trump is always, always working an angle that improperly gives him money, power, immunity, leverage or revenge. He's the very definition of a megalomaniac.

Guess that should be MAGAlomaniac...

I don't understand why anyone is trying to justify this ----. UFC. On the White House grounds. It's a national freaking embarrassment.

Diseases are a hoax.

Just like the insurrection.

I already have an immune system!

- The usual jackasses

Even some on the right are tiring of the insanity. You don't get much more conservative than South Carolina.

I have no problem with the gay community. But I do think it's interesting how many closeted (and a few non-closeted) gay men are in positions of power in the Make America Gay Again movement.

Not just Lindsey Graham, but also J.D. Vance (like he's not!), Peter Thiel, Scott Bessent, Charles Moran, Tony Fabrizio, the president's longtime pollster; Trent Morse, a former deputy assistant to the president; Richard Grenell, who was put in charge of the Kennedy Center; and Jacob Helberg, an under secretary of state.

It's gotten to the point where half the time I can't read what I'm writing so I just type it out and hit publish.

If I wasn't such a ------- loser I'd quit this place.

I laughed, but sympathetically.

Breaking:

NYT: Senate Republicans abruptly abandoned plans to take up a filibuster-proof bill on Thursday to fund President Trump's immigration crackdown, a stunning turn demonstrating that members of his own party were not willing to risk politically toxic votes to advance the president's personal agenda.

Israel has been playing its hand so aggressively, both militarily and politically, that it's turning off a lot of people who once supported it. This could become a major problem for its alliance with the United States in the future. Young people in particular see what's happening in Gaza, for example, and don't feel the reflexive love of Israel that their parents or grandparents did.

Just say it: this site has become useless without an ad blocker. It's starting to remind me of older websites that became infested with endless popups and pop out ads, many of which contained malware. Half the time I have to reload or restart the browser just to be able to click on anything, including the text field form. And don't even get me started on that annoying drop down that covers the whole screen and takes forever to collapse up when you can finally click the up arrow.

Yep. Ninety+ percent of my comments originate from my phone, and the ads have gotten ridiculous. Since I use an iPhone, I have the option of zapping ads to oblivion using the "Hide Distracting Items" feature on the left-hand side of the URL field. If you have an iPhone, try it. You still have to do it for every page, but it's faster than the collapse-up thingie. Plus, there's the satisfaction of watching a useless ad blasted to smithereens. :)

I knew I could count on you, Visitor. Good dog. Your doge check is in the mail.

Go ahead, Trumpers. Defend this.

So, is Trump more about incompetence or is he just screwing over this country for fun, and with dark intentions?

I have wondered this myself recently. His motivations seem to include varying degrees of retribution, greed, incompetence/stupidity and pure spite.

Simply absurd. Everything about Trump is corrupt, but this one takes the cake. Trump sues Trump, settles with himself, gives money to himself and his friends.

There's a Vietnamese restaurant in town that serves watermelon juice. I tried it once and it was surprisingly delicious. I mean, yes, watermelon is a tasty fruit, but I guess I thought of the juice as being too, well, watery. But it was yummy and refreshing.

I remember when it was cool and exciting to follow all this new technology. Now that I've seen tech bro after tech bro turn out to be a complete dick head, my view on technology has changed.

Like everything Trump is involved with, it's a complete joke. He is incapable of worshipping or believing in anything beyond himself.

I'm in Kentucky. Massie is, in fact, very conservative. Far too conservative for me. That said, he knows what a buffoon Trump is, and he's earned my respect for being one of the few Republicans with the guts to say the emperor has no clothes. How that plays out in the primary will be determined in a couple of days.

Many swell fellows among the rioters pardoned by the felonious predator in chief.

This is pretty cool information!

I mean, hey, if it works against vampires, it would only make sense to work against the other little critters interested in your blood.

I'm sorry this happened to you. That sucks. I agree, navigating a career and life in general has become far more complex in recent years, and I doubt it improves for future generations. Everything is online, giving scammers many more opportunities to prey on people.

;-)

The problem is, woke libs portray slavery as almost a negative, adversarial arrangement. And that hurts some white people's feelings. It's heritage, not hate!

I never thought I'd see the day when our own president would aggressively act against the interests of the country. At times, it seems intentional. I don't know how else to explain the self-inflicted damage resulting from decisions Trump and his lieutenants make on a daily basis across all cabinets.
