The autocratic bloc as been very clever, very successful in weakening western democracies. They have installed their puppets at the highest levels of US government. And in other democracies. The GOP puppets have been working hard to weaken the US military. And create chaos and confusion across the land.

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan announces bid for U.S. House speaker after Kevin McCarthy ouster
Response to brooklynite (Original post) Wed Oct 4, 2023, 12:03 PM No. McCarthy's party is the majority party and he failed to garner sufficient support among his own party to retain his speakership. I know I'm preaching to the choir on this one but this last 24 hours of BS that somehow Dems ousted McCarthy is simply infuriating.

Response to brooklynite (Reply #8) Fri Aug 11, 2023, 08:23 AM I think we have to stop wringing our hands and remember they are NOT IN THE VOTING MAJORITY. I think if Democrats cannot coalesce in this moment of clear danger for Democracy, it exposes us as poseurs. We stand for Democracy and the rule of law, or we don’t…because we don’t have a perfect candidate that checks everyone’s unicorn boxes? The choice is clear- on the menu… chicken or ground glass.

We somehow got talking about movies, one thing led to another, and I ended up asking her "Do you like the movie Goodfellas"? Oh yes! It's my favorite movie! she replied. As she wheeled me further, she asked me why I was getting the ultrasound done.

Well, I think I just had the best laugh of my life at the doctor's office of all places.
I'm having a potentially very serious issue that two specialists are trying to resolve. I had an appointment with one of those specialists this morning. My wife went with me, and I just got home. The nurse came into the office to update my records before the doctor came in, as per normal. I was pretty depressed and upset about the entire situation to begin with, so I was trying to remain stoic. The nurse said something to me that set me up perfectly for a humorous response to her.

So, I see HBO Max is trimming its name to just MAX
First they brought us Chris Licht at CNN. See how well that went. Now, they take what is arguably one of the most iconic brands in streaming land and say…nah…we know better. Let’s call it Max but we’ll keep the little dot from the “O” in HBO and stick it in the “A”. Yeah. That makes design sense. Not ! All so they could combine one of the best libraries in streamlining with their junk such classics as “New Jersey wives home remodeling wars”…or all that other reality discovery channel crap.
