KY-GOV: He Wants to Be Kentucky Guv. He Was a 'Ghost' in His Toxic Office.
When Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron took office in December 2019, he became the first Republican to lead the commonwealth’s top law enforcement agency in 72 years. More than three years later, however, one of Cameron’s first personal projects bears a number of bruises, which multiple attorneys in his office can only chalk up to the influence of politics.
Steve Scalise has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer.
Response to Nevilledog (Original post) Tue Aug 29, 2023, 01:46 PM This can be a devastating disease - or it can be manageable. It's considered incurable - but manageable. By that it needs to not do terrific damage to bones or kidneys. No fan of Scalise but I'd never wish cancer on anyone. There's also no need for him to step down or focus on family. Initial treatment typically consists of a weekly subq shot and a pill. My husband managed to continue to work with no issues.
Trump reported his weight as 215lbs!!!
Response to Roland99 (Original post) Thu Aug 24, 2023, 07:52 PM My understanding is they put down whatever the arrestee says. (within reason. I imagine) Many of them misspell the name of their birthplace, even where they live now. Same way with your occupation. You may work at a restaurant, but if you say auto mechanic, that's what your booking sheet says.
Vivek Ramaswamy's 'Mansplaining' To CNN's Kaitlan Collins Riles Up Critics
Response to Eugene (Original post) Wed Aug 23, 2023, 11:25 AM He's obnoxious, condescending and sexist; he's a know-it-all who doesn't know much about much; he's a rich asshole who thinks being rich makes him special. But the voters he wants won't vote for him because, although he's an asshole, which they like, he's also a brown Hindu. You have to be a white Christian asshole to completely win the mean, dumb, racist hearts of GOP voters.
Mike Luckovich-Operation Tommy Tuberville
Response to LetMyPeopleVote (Original post) Thu Aug 17, 2023, 07:11 PM But he is clearly carrying out the Republican agenda. Minority Leader McConnell has made a couple of tut-tut noises about Tuberville, but that's it from their side of the aisle. Every Republican Senator, bar none, stands with Tuberville.

Enjoy your hurricane, uh, California
Response to beaglelover (Reply #17) Thu Aug 17, 2023, 07:39 PM Welcome to the valley. Put stuff inside that will blow away. The big thing is to make sure nothing drains to the house. Example, My HOA development has openings in the fences to the front yards from the back and River Rock to the street. You should be fine. Rancho Mirage is a bit sheltered against the mountain if you're down by Hwy 111. Otherwise. Rancho Mirage has a great library with an observatory. A lot of events.

Trump still won't pay his bills from 2018 rally
Response to BlueIn_W_Pa (Original post) Tue Jul 25, 2023, 11:22 AM 4. He is forcing all of the taxpayers to cover his expenses Even those who do not support him. That much money could make a big difference in many schools and social programs. I get threatened with jail if I do not pay a parking ticket. He is just a citizen. He should be held accountable Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink
Cornel West seeking Green Party nomination for presidential run
Response to RandySF (Original post) Wed Jun 14, 2023, 12:25 PM 4. This is just fucking stupid. Now is not the time. Cornell West needs his head examined -- and maybe his finances (this is so idiotic I can't help but wonder if someone has made him an offer he just cannot refuse or resist).

Hey Everybody... Wanna Boycott Walgreens ?? - Aim HIGHER !!!
Response to GGoss (Reply #7) Mon Mar 6, 2023, 07:14 PM 19. so, in other words, you don't really care if you are targeting stores not run by Walgreens? Just so long as somebody gets their pound of flesh? That about right? This goes a little beyond potato, potahto ... How about some attempt to confirm that the people you attempt to target - are really in fact the offenders? Rite-Aid remains a separate company, and runs separate stores.
A bill to allow for a referendum on whether Texas should secede from the United States was filed
Response to Gregory Peccary (Reply #20) Mon Mar 6, 2023, 04:38 PM 31. Well Then that would mean California, and every other state can secede too. That would open the flood gates to other states seceding (think Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, the Carolina's, Virginia and a whole bunch of others following Texas's lead, which would lead to dissolving the union thus rendering the Federal government as we know it, the constitution as well as the Supreme Court irrelevant.
Lesion removed during Biden's physical was cancerous, White House doctor says
Response to hlthe2b (Reply #3) Fri Mar 3, 2023, 04:00 PM 7. I expect this was made public because if it wasn't, guaranteed that someone (at a RW loon outlet) would "find out about it" and spin wild tales, leading to pummeling of the airwaves with "not being transparent" and manufacturing other illnesses.

Dennis Prager again looks absolutely stupid.
Response to Archae (Original post) Tue Feb 14, 2023, 10:51 AM 2. I met a guy... From Wyoming who was such a woman hater that he went on tirades about how it was women who messed up the education system and through that, the world we live in. It's all our fault that shit is fucked up was his basic premise. All of that was the basic reason every woman should submit their bodies to him for his sexual pleasure without regard for the female's... anything. What a guy.

Big lawsuit against Biden student loan forgiveness gets shot down. Plaintiff now exempt from relief
Response to targetpractice (Reply #5) Thu Sep 29, 2022, 10:57 PM 18. That was the basis for his challenge He was working toward forgiveness under the federal Public Service Forgiveness program. Once he completed four more years, he would be eligible to have his loans dismissed as he qualified under that program. In that case there would be no tax penalty, so it would have cost him $ to take the new forgiveness plan, thus making his math correct.
Russian oil boss Ravil Maganov who criticised war in Ukraine dies 'after falling from hospital...
Response to ruet (Original post) Thu Sep 1, 2022, 12:16 PM 8. The reactions here say it all This has become a running joke because they don't even try to come up with something new. It's bizarre after reading only the headline and thinking surely it's not another death of a critic who fell from a window. And then exactly that happened. It also shows how thin-skinned Putin is.

Apologies if this John Fugelsang post has already been shared. It's just so good.
Response to JohnSJ (Reply #2) Wed Aug 24, 2022, 08:55 AM 8. This... I don't know why some DUers constantly harrangue that she's conservative & not a Liberal heroine as if the majority of DUers were unsophisticated, uneducated bumpkins.

Aitkin County jury finds for pharmacist who declined to fill birth control prescription
Response to NullTuples (Reply #6) Fri Aug 5, 2022, 10:24 PM 8. Religious beliefs should not be tax exempt assets used to harm at will And people who have religious beliefs do not consider them opinions. They consider them chiseled in stone and far superior then the quaint concept of liberty and Justice for all. If you wanna destroy the fabric of democracy, give a religious sect, any sect, unbridled freedom to impose whatever belief on whomever.
In the GOP, the paranoid fringe is becoming the establishment
Response to Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin (Original post) Thu Aug 4, 2022, 06:58 AM 2. Good. Since we know this, we need to push the envelope and point at the crazy republicans at all... times, constantly attacking them for their crazy and nonsense stand on various issues and whatnot. Hit them constantly, mock them repeatedly for their idiotic stands on various issues.

24 House Republicans break with leadership, vote with Democrats to pass chip bill
Response to William769 (Original post) Thu Jul 28, 2022, 08:33 PM 8. Schumer What Iím wondering is it less a compromise with Manchin, or more that Schumer backed him into a corner that left few options for the Dino? We talk a lot about what a wily SOB McConnell is. Love or hate Moscow Mitch, he is formidable. Is Schumer as clever and ruthless as the Turtle? Maybe those qualities are part of the job description if you are Leader. I brought this up because of a picture I recently saw of Schumerís face.

WH Rose Garden looks like it's recovering!
Response to sakabatou (Reply #2) Wed May 18, 2022, 05:15 PM 21. I think Melanoma did it. One of her “Keep the First Lady Busy” projects. It was HORRIBLE. That ghastly woman had all the beautiful roses torn out. Had it “redone.” Had the beautiful White House Rose Garden that I believe Jackie Kennedy had overseen “redone.” I found myself hoping the rose bushes were at least moved and replanted elsewhere, or donated to someone or someplace else where they’d be replanted.

Sure, we individually don't owe anyone our forgiveness, but it seems important to recognize the difference between those who try to change and make amends and those (like TFG etc al) who don't. Imho.

Reps Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger VOTED NO on the JLewis Voting Rights Act
Link to tweet The only thing that holds Republicans together is their opposition to voting rights. Cheney and Kinzinger can support a 1/6 investigation, but not voting rights. That is a bridge too far for anyone in the GOP. Every single Republican in the House just voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. It passed with all Democratic votes. The bill would prevent voters from being discriminated against by state and local governments.
