I Don't Trust Anyone Who Says 'Democrat Party'! We Don't Call Them 'Repiglicans' We Don't Call Them 'Rethuglicans' We Don't Even Call Then 'Republicants' (well most of us don't, I do) Yet these guys go on TV and it's the same old Joe McCarthy / Roy Cohn slur; 'Democrat', 'Democrat', 'Democrat Party'!

Israel Is Officially Annexing the West Bank (from June '23)
Thu Oct 12, 2023, 08:12 AM Israel Is Officially Annexing the West Bank (from June '23) International law stipulates that an occupying power—in this case, Israel—must advance the occupied territory’s interests during its temporary occupation. By transferring administrative powers in the West Bank from the military to an Israeli minister and the civil service, Israel is abdicating this duty not just in its actions—as it did long ago—but also on paper.

Mon Sep 18, 2023, 04:26 PM Lauren Boebert Theater Video Sparks New Democrat 'Setup' Theory Social media users have sparked a new theory relating to the CCTV footage of Colorado Rep.

Buying a printer at 80 yrs old is not for the weak.
Fri Sep 8, 2023, 07:39 PM Oh my word. Does anyone know who makes a printer that doesn't need downloads from the interwebs, registration with the manufacturer, subscriptions where I have to give them my DNA.... I don't print that often but I needed something that works. My old brother printer finally decided the ink pad needs replaced and it costs more than a new printer. Plus it would be nice to go wireless if I can figure out how to do that without handing over the keys to my entire life.

Go for a ride on the Wicked Cyclone
Response to Emile (Original post) Sun Sep 3, 2023, 01:40 PM Circa around 2012 or so we had a group outing where I worked and Six Flags won out in the voting.. we had a pretty big crew of engineers ranging in age from their 20's to 60's. I've been out of New England a few years and my memory may not be accurate but the first ride we hit was the big wooden coaster and the end of the park. I thought it might have been the Comet but most likely it was the original all wooden Cyclone.
Hi Tablet experts!
Sun Sep 3, 2023, 08:34 PM My Samsung Tab A has all of a sudden decided it can't authenticate connection to my WiFi at home. It did yesterday and it recognized the WiFi at the local coffee shop today.

Any ideas? Should I restart the router?

Response to CentralMass (Reply #1) Tue Aug 29, 2023, 11:44 PM Saying both Biden and Trump are too old. Matthew Dowd said it's like having 2 old guys stay at your house while you're away. One old guy (Biden) may forget to turn out the lights or close the garage door but the other old guy (Trump) would forget to turn out the lights or close the garage door, trash the house, sell your furniture, get rid of your dog and then refuse to leave your house when you get back.

Freedom Caucus Threatens To Shut Down The Government If Trump Prosecutions Aren't Dropped

Or if he withheld all military promotions until more LGBTQ folks were in command positions. He would be crucified by the press, and rightly so. But when Republicans play their stunts, the reaction is ho-hum, business as usual, let's go see what bullshit Trump is posting today.

As ranked choice voting gains momentum, parties in power push back
Over the past decade, ranked choice voting has become increasingly popular.

This year, Democrats and Republicans in power pushed back.
'he ran a secretive in-house intelligence unit for the conservative Koch brothers organization'
Response to Joinfortmill (Original post) Fri Aug 18, 2023, 07:03 AM There is no honesty or decency or even loyalty to country to be found anywhere in this party. I hope those indicted by Georgia at least get convicted and get to serve time in the state prison while they ponder the error of their ways. I think the Georgia indictments may be more important than the DOJ indictments because they show how a state can and should hold even people at a county level accountable for criminal actions.
GOP elites 'scared to death' being stuck with Trump going into 2024: McCaskill - Alex Wagner - MSNBC
Response to The Unmitigated Gall (Reply #2) Fri Aug 18, 2023, 02:42 AM I know what happened with Nixon, it took the Republicans to bring him down, so I knew that needed to happen with TFG. Instead, unbelievably, they've doubled down, even if it means ignoring the rule of law themselves. "Worse than Watergate" now has a whole new meaning... so much worse and it's still going on.

And no - as we continue to find out, there were loads of things going on, both pre and post election - tentacles reaching everywhere, amounting to a sprawling criminal endeavor with many moving parts and pieces - that we did not know about in the beginning.

I've been petsitting
Mon Jul 17, 2023, 10:45 AM for my daughter. Dogs, cats, one indoor, one outdoor, a kitten and a guinea pig. She has chickens, but she had them set up for while they are gone. I checked on them yesterday, to be sure they still had food and water. I don't let them out when I'm there, because I'm scared to death a predator will get them. There are coyotes, bobcats, foxes, and hawks to watch for. I went in the caged coop to check the food. I hadn't thought about it, and was wearing sandals.
