The difference between us and them: If a video was released showing Bill Clinton and Donald Trump double teaming a thirteen year old, every democrat would be "Both of those shitbags need to be jailed. NOW!" and every republican would be "Can we edit this so it only shows Clinton?"

Actually, I should say MAGA rather than republican.

It's absolutely RepubliCON's fault. MAGA is the muscle, but RepubliCONs are who they control. They are the chicken-shit craven fucks that we need to remove. Every. Last. One. There are no centrists anymore. There are those who are fighting for the rule of law and democracy and there are the spineless fucks that we need to remove and jail. No more Democratic niceties and "playing by the rules" shit. No more "we go high". Fuck all that. Every. Fucking. RepubliCON. Gone!

Rich men are often dogs. Im sure Clinton is just as much of dog as Trump. The difference is Clinton was a good President and worked for the country. Trump is a horrible president, is building his own Gastapo and is being manipulated by the Heritage Foundation and Stephen Miller who want the US to be a feudal dictatorship. The fact that he is dog is irrelevant.

And I have to apologize for demeaning real dogs who are better than Trump and Cinton in every way.

If you're in Indianapolis or the donut counties, we're fairly normal. I'm on the south side and most of my neighbors had Harris signs in their yards.

It's a good place to gas up before heading into Chicago where gas is more expensive, although that depends on the neighborhood. As a south sider, I recommend not filling up in Hyde Park; stop in Chatham or South Shore. They really aren't THAT dangerous. Well, at least as long as a Blackhawk helicopter isn't landing on a building in the middle of the night and disgorging 300 terrorists (agents) to break down doors and drag children out of their beds and zip tie them. (I am from South Shore and I am never not going to be infuriated by that, which happened one block from the corner where my sister and I used to hang out.)

Leaning noticeably forward when standing is not considered a classic sign of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). While FTD can cause movement and posture changes in some subtypes, a stooped or forward‑leaning posture is more commonly associated with conditions like Parkinson’s disease or Lewy body dementia, rather than being a hallmark of FTD.

His suits are always badly fitting which is weird because most places that sell men's suits alter them for free, especially if he's buying $5000 suits like he claims. It's automatic. Someone once posited an interesting theory about this. Since he needs to believe the entire world revolves around him, he needs to believe that whatever his size is, it was designed specifically for him, and to do alterations would be to admit that he is not the sole person that size is based on. It sounds ridiculous, but it also sounds like something he might think.

“No Kings”

An Anthem for America

Written by The People, for The People

Verse 1

Two hundred fifty years gone by,

Our patriots fought and bled,

They carved a path for unity,

That wrote our republic’s name;

Now chaos tests our union,

Yet the Constitution shows,

A promise for the future,

From the Founding Fathers long ago.

Chorus 1

No Kings! No kings! No kings!, we cry,

Here throughout the land,

Our stalwart mission rings aloud,

Autocracy will not stand,

Hate and fear won’t stand!

Verse 2

Through trials, storms, and oppression,

This vision still holds true,

Democracy’s enduring light,

Belongs to me and you;

The Constitution guides us still,

From division and through strife,

It calls us back to Liberty,

The heartbeat of our life!

Chorus 2

“No King! No kings! No kings!” we cry,

Here throughout the land,

Our stalwart mission rings aloud,

Autocracy will not stand,

Corruption will not stand!

Verse 3

Thrones and crowns and kings alike,

The warning signs we face,

Our love of country sees clearly,

Tyranny’s ruthless shame;

Both red and blue we gather now,

Drawn by equality’s flame,

Our common voice we raise in song,

For the USA!

Chorus 3

“No King! No kings! No kings!” we cry,

Here throughout the land,

Our stalwart mission rings aloud,

Autocracy will not stand,

Tyranny will not stand!

Courage under threat is leadership. Capitulation under comfort is collaboration.

No one likes attaching themselves to a Lame Duck -- and Donnie is the lamest of them all, getting lamer and lamer each day.

The Epstein photo release this morning is more on the pile for him. The water is rising fast and President Pedo is a diseased rock dragging those around him to the bottom.

All it takes is one. My favorite example is that after Roger Bannister broke the "unbreakable" four-minute mile, within a year twenty other milers, worldwide, had done the same. All they needed was for someone to show them it was possible.

At least some Indiana Republicans can do this thing called "math." They see the recent election results (swings toward Democrats) and also know that redistricting Blue districts inevitably means diluting the red districts, because you're moving Democratic voters into them.

As far as shaking hands, I've shaken a lot of hands and I don't remember ever using the back of my hand to do it. This piece from Aaron Rupar is worth reading: https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-hand-bandages-discolored

A lovely detail of the Macron/Donnie Demento handshake: watch the hands, as Demento can't get free until Macron loosens his grip--with a patronizing pat to Demento as he does so.....finally.

I LOVE the Macron handshakes.

WTF? “underage women”?! Children. They were children. Who the hell wrote that?

Unless they were pre-pubescent, no, they were not "children." If they were 15 or 16, they were not "children," they were minors or "underage girls," possibly. I know we like to do this to make their deeds seem more evil on paper, but I think we sabotage our credibility with dramatic language, just as they do by trying to make it sound like a 15-year-old is functionally an adult,

No. 15, 16 and 17 year old kids ARE children.

No, they are neither legally or technically "children" and in fact, until 100 years ago, they weren't considered "children" by any standard – they were out of school, working, raising families. We use that word because it provokes outrage but it's dishonest on our part, and sabotages our moral standing. Just use truthful language. What they did is bad enough without trying to stoke extra outrage.

LEGALLY, anyone under the age of 18 is a CHILD. I used to work for the juvenile court system, in a juvenile detention facility. We had CHILDREN there that ranged from age 9 through 17.

No, they're a minor, not a child. And in many states the bind-over age is 14 to refer an offender to adult court, so it entirely depends on the offense and the jurisdiction what they're declared (a Juvenile isn't a "child"; they're a minor. "Juvenile" and "child" are not the same).

In Florida, the legal age of adulthood (age of majority) is 18 years. Legally and technically. And otherwise-ly.

Try to stoke some facts, if that's your name.

He won't release his taxes that could prove he's a tax cheat.

He won't release the Epstein files that could prove he's a pedophile.

He won't release the boat strike video that could prove he's a war criminal.

He won't release the jobs report that could prove his economic policies are a failure.

Most transparent president my ass!

And yet, 10's of millions of Americans would still vote for him if he ran for president again, or for anything. Also, 19 Republicans in the Indiana house still voted to redistrict, almost half. We have to accept the fact that we can only do so much to help an American public that is brain dead or hopelessly delusional.

Thats what worries me, too. We have a lot of work to do to bring our society up to some level of intellect and human decency. If I were in charge (Thank god I'm not), I'd fix our educational system.

A fix would mean purging all school boards of MAGATs who go after teachers who teach history correctly and strip school libraries of the best books.

Susan, I love your outlook, but we've never stopped trying. The results aren't pretty, and cell phone entertainment devices for children aren't helping anything (hopefully Australia's recent attempts at ending that may show some fruit one day), but apathy and ignorance will always affect a certain percentage of any country's citizens. It can only be held to a minimum at best.

Ok. I know there will always be a certain percentage of ignorance. The current regime has made education their last priority. We have a lot of work to get things back on track. So I’m sorry if I insinuated that we could make it ALL better. It’s tough trying to be clear out here.

Agree with you take Susan. Trump and the billionaire class have been dumbing down society, knowing they’re easier to control, by a number of means….they own all our media, if you think about it. Accepting that the bell curve never goes away isn’t easy, but factual!
