I think to seal the deal we need a photo of him kicking a puppy. That is, of course, what A.I. is for.

I noted with some interest that the ballot drop box I went to to submit my ballot had a line of 7 cars waiting to access it. Each was driven by a woman. No bumper stickers or flags signaling the affiliation of the drivers. Two were hot mothers.

He doesn't trust Jesuits?

Or Coconut by Harry Nilsson.

I believe the widespread adoption of this euphemism might make me wear my "I voted" sticker with greater pride.

First i have heard of this. Glad he was caught and is paying a price. Hope he does his time in a maximum security prison in the general population.

Tell her to rethink her life goals. She should go into management instead.

Tim would sell his vote for a used pair of Taylor Swifts panties. Jokes on him though, she doesn't wear any.

I am wondering now about the price for buying my vote. I have my principles, of course. I also know that as a practical matter my vote in my jurisdiction is unlikely to be of consequence. If every man has a price what is mine? Pot would not factor into my choice since it is already available here in Colorado and has been for some time, and I don't enjoy it like I did as a youth. $20,000 would be nice, I suppose, but I don't really need it and it would not change my day to day life. Maybe a nice boat and a key of Peruvian marching powder would get it done. I know this though, I would want payment in hand before I sold my vote. I do not trust the word of either of the two main candidates. They do not get to pay me Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Just exercised my franchise.

80,000 acres ablaze 11 miles from a home I own in Story Wy. Weather relief by way of rain and snow is not in the cards for at least 48 hours. The prevailing winds and topography have it likely moving towards Story. The Home is a family home originally built by my wife's grandfather. The home is log construction as is the barn and tack shed and stables. The current renter just notified me he recieved a pre-evacuation order. The nice thing is the property is on the right side of a road and a stream so the area may be defensible. If not, well there is insurance. I think my wife's brother and sister are happy I bought the home off of them a few years back. If it burns I will rebuild.

I apologize but I do not take your meaning here.

I worry more about the general area than the second home. The area is quite beautiful and after fire will come rain and snow runoff which will fould streams and lakes for some time and the fire will also reduce ahbitat for a few years, though often in the aftermath the land produces miricles of meados and wildflowers supporting renewed animal life.

I am down in Colorado so no worries for myself, just the property. Unlike folks in N. Carolina this is not my primary residence so I will have inconvenience and my wife will suffer some emotional loss, but in the end we will be just fine. Some of our neighbors there will not be nearly so luck. also there is a water treatment plant and a fish hatchery which are both threatened which could effect fishing in Wyoming for years to come and could really cripple Sheridan. I was going to be up there next week to do a bit of hunting, but not now.

The over running of the Capital building was disorderly, it was in many instances riotous. Did it rise to insurrection seeking through disruption to delay certification of an election, not in my mind. There was no attempt to coopt the military or to achive command and control of the country, but it was close to insurrection in a few regards, including the hope by some that they could install new electors not properly approved of by their State's processes. I think we need a new term and definition to define and describe what happened, something short of insurrection but beyond petulent acting out and rioting. May I suggest the new term Trumpgasm to describe the event.

I am socially liberal, or at least laizze faire, fiscally and constitutionally conservative, and I abhor the orthodoxies pressed by the woke left and the MAGA right. There is no political home for a fella like me, at least not right now.

Why stop at water towers? Why not try to project something on to the moon? I believe the moon will be full tomight. It would take a fairly large and sophisticated lazer array, but go for it.

I hope those poor souls are not still languishing there in the desert. Maybe notify FEMA.

Was Jordy Nelson not available?

And on the second amendment we have this ... https://x.com/i/status/1836841464686424493

So you moved from union workers to all workers. I get that workers like overtime as the pay is typically time and a half or even double time. The thing is paying overtime as opposed to regular time increases costs. It is often cost effective to hire additional workers as opposed to paying overtime. Also, overtime being available may actually increase the motivation to not finish a task on regular time. it may incentivize delay so that overtime can be earned. Overtime may also result in increased injuries on the job. Frankly long hours are precisely why OSHA and the FAA have time limits for pilots, truckers, and ship pilots. I have no doubt you are correct as to Trump generally as I have read multiple more or less undisputed accounts of him looking for every advantage, fair and unfair (at least in my mind) to avoid paying bills. I just fail to see your original argument as to Union workers. No worries. I often fail to see matters clearly.

I fail to see how hiring larger crerws to spread the work out in manageable chunks and to avoid overtime thereby is anti-union. Others of his stances may well be, and his traack record of paying workers and vendors is poor, but the argument reflected in your post makes no sense to me. Perhaps you can elaborate further so that I might understand.

Dow up over 43,000 right now.

Deserves got nothin to do with it.

Took me a minute to determine whether you were writing of Pelosi or me.
