I'm interested in the betting line on how many people will make plans to leave the country after tonight's debate, or will have existing drug problems exacerbated.
In a world of Handjob Barbies, be a Geoff Duncan, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
Condolences to the Sackler family. They drew the short straw on which billionaire was going to be thrown under the bus by the Supremes in an attempt to not appear they’re not a wholly-owned subsidiary of the entire billionaire class.
They were sooooooo> close.
Sacklers didn't LOSE money. The Extremes only said they could be inconvenienced in a trial, and the outcome is not pre-determined. SCOTUSblog
I don't recall that the Sacklers were substantial donors to the Leonard Leo labyrinth of "nonprofit" organizations or dinner hosts for any members of the Extreme Court. So perhaps they have not yet fully joined the Billionaires Club and thus don't have full member benefits.
That was my point. At the time of the $6b deal they were reportedly worth $13b. They didn’t want to get Alex-Jones’d. This decision reopens that closed door.
They are the perfect sacrificial lamb.

Colorado Republican party officials begin process to try to remove chair Dave Williams
Dave Williams does have that orange turd reverse midas touch to him. Just like his dear leader, everything he touches turns to shit. I hope they throw him out on his ass.
> “I think if he has half a brain, he should resign,” said state Senator Larry Liston. “He needs to not only resign, but quite frankly he's a bigot and he should move out of the state of Colorado.”
Please, Larry, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. lol
(I agree with Senator Liston on this)
FFS. Are you sniffing the glue that's holding those shirty Chinese Trump sneakers together?
#HankBrownToHandjobBarbie
Like you said…for fucks' sake!
Save that brain for science…it must be related to the brain of A. B. Normal of "Young Frankenstein" fame.🙂
🤣🤣🤣
Sorry Michael, she's vaping the glue, not sniffing. Goes deeper into the lungs.
As soon as Rep. Boebert finds the commanding officer of the Commander in Chief
a standing order that says the civilians in charge of the military must take drug tests, I'll agree the President must take a drug test.
In the meantime, compare the details and candor of the medical exam results released to the public during the previous guy's Sad!-ministration and the current guy's Administration.
While we are at it, the generals (and lots of others) file "OGE Form 278e, Public Financial Disclosure Report, using the Integrity system." Why don't we get former Presidents and the current President to file a similar disclosure?
I think this is a giant problem – https://www.joshbarro.com/p/progressive-groups-lie-because-lying
One of our local TV stations runs ads stating that 1 in 7 Colorado kids face food insecurity. Seems pretty high.
I'm leery of "food insecurity" stats, Nuances in the definition & how prevalence is measured vary. "Food insecure households are uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, at some time during the year, enough food to meet the needs of all their members because they had insufficient money or other resources for food."
The 2023 Kids Count report had a couple of data points based on what I believe to be a little more solidly gathered infomation. :
Exaggerations are a problem — whether done by right or left, elites or populists. An article that ONLY examines the left and elites is tendentious in its own way.
I have been a debater, coach, and judge for many years. In academic debate, I've seen all sorts of exaggerations about the extent of problems, extraordinary optimism about how things could change and solve those problems, and doomsday scenarios saying that if a solution is implemented, extraordinary bad things will happen. Following "real world" debates in several areas, I'd opine the argumentative extremes are a touch less exaggerated, but ignoring well-established facts, not considering scenarios that do not support a pre-existing mindset, and ignoring fair-minded assessment of the arguments of opponents happen nearly as often. It is up to the participants in those real-world debates to advocate and offer rebuttals. Expecting self-control or some sort of omniscient “decider” of which claims are “right” defies the experience of rhetoric from Plato, Aristotle & other dead Greeks to the present day.
