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.
That certainly fits the facts of both sides clamoring for their release
when they’re out of power and stonewalling when they were in
power. Both sides.
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.
Trying again without mentioning WHERE I posted it, I recently
suggested something to entertain conspiracy theory aficionados,
speculating on whether Trump might be intentionally trying to
throw the midterms, citing things he had done just in the last
month or two to back that up (like insulting both our integrity
and our intelligence with a $5K bribe offer with conditions that
were NOT going to be met), and if so, why he might do that.
Here in Oklahoma, it was basically “What Blue Wave”, every
federal or statewide office went Republican. Not all of them
were full-blown Trumpeters, but most of them are. I, on the
other hand, can truthfully state that I followed our Fearless
Leader’s instructions *to the letter*, voting as if it were HIS
name in every Republican slot. Much as I hate voting a straight
ticket, ever. I try to follow instructions, as I interpret them.
You forgot to mention Brave New World. We don’t have Soma, instead we have TikTok and AI.
Sadly, President Washington was right about political parties.
I have considered suggesting we outlaw them. Force every
office seeker to stand on their own merits, experience and
accomplishments, their own principles and plans to further
those principles, and if already in office, their own record.
I’ve been saying that for decades, once mudslinging
became acceptable, elections have gone to shit.
NO real facts, just who ever points the loudest fingers.
we’ve lost a lot of good men because of this. Demand
their proof and back it up with public facts, that’s why
it didn’t work with Trump both times. He didn’t play
their games.
Just out of curiosity, would mentioning the fact that I had posted
something on a social media platform, and naming it, result in
that “suspicious activity” designation? Of the things in it, that’s
the one that least seems like c3n$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.
Consider: The number one reason for voting the way they did (by a factor of nine-to-one in some polls),
given by the people who were exit-polled, was that the Trump regime is corrupt, top to bottom.
Decent people don’t like corruption, and this Administration has been quite blatant about it.
The “gift” of a $400,000,000 aircraft from the country (Qatar) that is the largest backer of the Muslim
Brotherhood, is but one of many, many examples. People don’t appreciate being robbed.
They especially don’t appreciate it when the robbing is done by those who are SUPPOSED to have
our best interests in mind. As it says in the Preamble.
I’ve seen it suggested that an enormous amount of this BS would be cleared up if
we made it a condition for running for public office or consideration for appointment
to hi-level bureaucratic office that their latest tax returns and financial assets
assessments be published, and that continue as long as they are in office.
Sure they could lie, but I have a feeling those lies wouldn’t hold up long.
BS – it’s there for that exact reason.! like legal jargon.
‘we put it there so only we know what’s going on.’!!!
did you know: government elected were supposed to be paid,
in the manner of their state. and receive the same ‘bonus
and compensation.’?? oh and congress writes it’s own pay.
27th amendment was suppose to “fix” that. but yeah they
buried it in BS, an called it good.
Ok, grasping at straws there. It was brought up many times
and the VERY clear evidence showed it was made-up BS, I
suggest you find the hearing records and see if you can find
out why it was dropped rather than continuing the fables the
left make up.
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.
Mine in Canada and yours in USA.

With the DildoCrats in power,
if the Epstein list isn’t released,
it means that too many on the

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.

When the laws heavily favor the group that wrote the laws … well. I fail to be surprised. Saddened, but not surprised.
Do you honestly want communism in the USA?
Ok, grasping at straws there. It was brought up many times
and the VERY clear evidence showed it was made-up BS, I
suggest you find the hearing records and see if you can find
out why it was dropped rather than continuing the fables the

And now, time for something completely different:
