#80. Sitz, you are forgetting who holds the military. That resides firmly w the POTUS. Current POTUS, Biden. Likely next POTUS. Biden.

Bet you flinch when the Predator drone zooms in on you and the rest of the 'resistance'.

Hopefully it wont come to that, but if any state would be dumb enough to take on the US military, it is safe money that that resistance would include Texas...

I will do exactly what I did during the last POTUS election. Go vote, pack up the dogs, throw them and my overnight bag into the back of the SUV, take a day of annual leave, drive to a place to stay near Sheandoah N.P., spend the night in the hotel/motel/cottage, and spend a peaceful day the next day hiking Shenandoah N.P. with my dogs...

It really helped with the stress last election to treat the whole thing like a small vacation, and treat myself.

I recommend something similar to everyone stressed out by the election.

I find right wingers and their constant
penchant for labeling any achievement by the
non-right as some conspiracy both boring
and tedious--at best.

Hey losers! Try getting a few accomplishments
under your belt that don't include tax breaks for
billionaires or govt. shutdowns and then maybe
we will listen to what you have to say. But as it
stands, you have nothing...zero, zilch, nada...
no accomplishments to offer this nation in the last,
what? Eight to a dozen years?

You built part of a wall (big whoop!) You took away
rights from women. Not really an accomplishment.
And you stole Latino children from Latino parents and
sent half here, and half there, destroying Latino
families in the process. Congratulations you
------ ----!

---- hell Tennessee! Barbaric much?! You
backwater sister-loving inbred Rednecks...

It is easy to convince morons and those that
WISH to believe.

Putin found in the GOP, the perfect MARKS to
take advantage of...

Some of both. Jordan was willing.
As were several others. Others just bought
into what they wanted to believe.

Yes, the party is filled with stupidity.
But they are equally filled with incredible
amounts of partisanship, the most I've ever seen.

That happens and I and my son will be leaving America, and happily so. Will NOT live in a fundamentalist religious theocracy.

A country known for 'Tofu dreg' building construction, is not getting me
1000's of feet up in the sky, trusting my life to their work...

I agree with you #1. I am torn. Hamas started this and deserves
what it gets from Israel. Israel though, has been a bastard to Palestine
for years, especially since BiBi returned. Bibi's response has been nothing
short of extermination, and the total elimination of the Palestinian Problem.

Is Biden right in defending Israel's right to self defense and self determinism?
Yes. Is Biden wrong in defending Bibi's administration? Also...Yes...

In my opinion Biden should have separated his response into a more nuanced position
backing Israel's right to self defense, whilst coming down hard on Bibi's over response
in the region.

This is one of the few areas that I disagree with the Biden Administration on.

Gen Z's (99% of them) have a lot of
'Real World Learning' to do...

Can we shoot Nazis again in this country like we used to in WWII?

The Greatest Generation had the policy right. Zero tollerance for Nazi's...

This is liable to cost Biden, 100-200 votes...

Robson is Shrimptaco is OneIronRunt's Lover...

#47 FLAG: As Sore Loser...

Mr. Musk is a pig.
He has made his bed,
and it is filled with autocrats and communists...

Just like what he was used
to in S. Africa. A little
slice of home.

Oan or Faux News no doubt.

Do share Fishpaw.

Fishpaw, Fishpaw,
paging Fishpaw...

seriously spell chk...

Cancun!

Ted Cruz 3 years from now...

"Welcome to the Ritz-Carlton, Cancn...
Can I take your luggage Sir?"

Wah! Poor widdle Magat thought his white privilege would save him...

Welcome to the Big House Boi!

The GOP has had quite a run in the Terrible POTUS department lately.
I mean G. Dubya, Trump...where do you go from there?

What could possibly serve as an encore to that mound of stinking feces?

lol. Yeah. Trump replaced simple Corporate Sellout Republicans (those 'decent ones')
with just Stupid ones...

The underbelly of the GOP (yer red hat wearing Maga) still doesn't realize it is the
Corporate Sellout Republicans (the 'respectable ones!!') that are the very people that
have put the screws to them their entire lives.

Maybe 1 in 100 will finally come to the realization that they've been had and that they
should have been democrats all along. Maybe... But given their track record for stupidity,
I somehow doubt it...

John Oliver once again shows why he is America's favorite
transplant from abroad. The man is hilarious...

The smartest Russians were the estimated
500k males that fled Russia at the beginning
of the war in Ukraine. I hope they live
prosperous happy lives outside of Russia.

Vlad is evil, but at least not wise...

In response to #8 Tao...

Having a successful white collar job is not all it's cracked up to be. I get to work from home 3 days a week, and commute in and out of DC the other 2 days a week. It is tough on sleep schedules, and tough on the body for those of us 'north of 50' in age. Tough also to sit all day in front of a computer. Forces one to be disciplined enough to initiate one's own exercise regimen. Either that or be prepared to have heart surgery or a geart attck or stroke before retirement...

People need to be very concerned about this, and to think on smaller scales about this topic. Phytoplankton are one of the hub species that much of the ocean's food chains rely upon to sustain it's web of life. The also are large carbon sinks and produce an abundance of oxygen, which I dont have to tell you, all land animals (including man) depends upon.

What is one of the few things they are especially susceptible to? Climate change and ocean warming...
What is another thing they are particularly susceptible to? Oceanic salinity changes? What happens to the salinity of the oceans when you melt gigatons worth of ice into a saline solution?

I'll leave you to do the math here.

We are truly messing with fire when we start changing eons old processes to the degree where we are threatening the fundamental species that this planet relies upon to sustain its network of life...
