I kind of wish my one bad habit was drinking, not smoking.
But then I’d live longer…
Ah, well. I’ve already outlived most of the bastards.
And a few good people I shouldn’t have outlived.
I’ve told every doctor that rants at me for my smoking I tell them the same thing:
I quit doing drugs in the 70’s,
I quit drinking in the 80’s,
I quit growing hair in the 90’s, 😉
I quit cancer in both the 00’s and the 20’s.
Leave me ONE bad habit?
Heh.
At least we get to choose our idiots in power and we get what we choose.
Mine in Canada and yours in USA.
Like the saying goes don’t make political jokes because they get elected.
I wrote a rant and sent it to all the politicians I could find local,
provincial and federal. They were all happy with a majority vote.
I asked them how it was a majority when they got 39% of 35% votes?
People are just plain fed up with politicians
when not one has any common sense.
We have a province with two traitorous elected parties.
Quebec and yet they are accepted.
i can name at least 3 times. where ‘they decided’ who.
and not all the votes were counted…
i mean one, i was in line to vote, and they announced the new.!!!
(it was not a land slide. it was “Close”…)(but he still won..)
If Trump even bothers to check election results,
I’m sure they will have fall-guys and excuses,
then no one gets the justice they deserve and
the problem goes on. I don’t mind the good fight,
but I do like the fight to end, which will NEVER
happen.
A good friend of mine said. many years ago:
“It doesn’t matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in”
I’m sure he was quoting someone, but I’ve no idea who!
No politician acts for the long-term good of their country these days,
but only the short term good of their party.
I will be interested to see if the Epstein Files finally get released in full,
since I suspect there are too many powerful people to be exposed for that to happen!
Ever considered a different point of view?
To them it might not be important which side has more people in the
Epstein files than the other.
It might be that both sides think that to many of them are in the files,
or at least important ones to them. A high ranking politician from
one side, a money giver on the other and so on. And neither side
can have theirs known.
When I taught History, I advised the students to never hitch their political
star to any single party’s wagon. They all have good ideas, and they all
have bad ideas, and elections are how the people say which they think the
current crop is. Our democracy is healthiest when those who are in power
are reminded they can be voted out of power. Or, as one wag put it,
Politicians should be changed as often as babies’ diapers, and for the same
reason. Now, as a citizen of Texas, I found the election results a little
surprising, but I was never a fan of Abbott, and only a blind backroom
huckster would have put Paxton up for any significant elected office. I
remember when Texas was a yellow-dog Democrat state, and I remember
Ann Richards, the last of that ilk. Gina Hinajosa is no Ann Richards, but
if she was, she would just remind Texas why they quit voting in
Democrats. It looks like the Republicans will also lose the Texas House but
keep the Senate, which will be a bar to most ERISA (Every Ridiculous Idea
Since Adam) legislation. They will probably soften Texas’ anti-abortion
legislation, which was unnecessarily draconian, and take the hard edges
off several other laws, assuming that that will keep them in power. It
won’t. The first big company that cancels a move to Texas, in favor of
Florida, will wake people up to why Texas is one of the biggest economic
engines in the country. And the Republican legislators will pull the “flee
the state” trick on the Democratic leadership that the Democrats thought
was so clever when they did it. And the Texas legislature is very limited
in how much they can convene (something like 90 days every other year).
And we passed a constitutional amendment that prohibits a state income
tax. So it could be fun.
You forgot to mention Brave New World. We don’t have Soma, instead we have TikTok and AI.
Sadly, President Washington was right about political parties.
I have considered suggesting we outlaw them. Force every
office seeker to stand on their own merits, experience and
accomplishments, their own principles and plans to further
those principles, and if already in office, their own record.
I’ve been saying that for decades, once mudslinging
became acceptable, elections have gone to shit.
NO real facts, just who ever points the loudest fingers.
we’ve lost a lot of good men because of this. Demand
their proof and back it up with public facts, that’s why
it didn’t work with Trump both times. He didn’t play
their games.
Just out of curiosity, would mentioning the fact that I had posted
something on a social media platform, and naming it, result in
that “suspicious activity” designation? Of the things in it, that’s
the one that least seems like c3n$or$h1p.
I don’t know why you guys are acting like this is a surprise. Or the end of the world.
Midterms have been held by the governing party exactly TWICE. So why the fuck would you expect the dems to not win, when midterms are always won by the opposition. Except two times.
And last time I checked, the world didn’t end any of those 4 dozen ish times. For either side.
The muslim invasion is of far more importance. And you ain’t voting your way out of that. Any more than the rest of the West is, as proven by the burning cities across europe. It’s Reconquista time. Not emoting over midterms time.
I didn't proofread this.

Heh.
Hang in there PC. I’m 12 yrs older than you.
Us old guys will make it. The young I’m
not so sure. By young I mean less than 50.
At least we get to choose our idiots in power and we get what we choose.

But we don’t count the votes.
Yeah. What Stalin said!

JO
With the DildoCrats in power,
if the Epstein list isn’t released,
it means that too many on the
list were DildoCrats, not
RepubliTards.

I just had a longer reply to TubT blocked for “suspicious activity”?
Just out of curiosity, would mentioning the fact that I had posted
something on a social media platform, and naming it, result in
that “suspicious activity” designation? Of the things in it, that’s
the one that least seems like c3n$or$h1p.
I checked, it’s not there.
I don’t know why you guys are acting like this is a surprise. Or the end of the world.

I was about to say the same thing, same shit, different day.
