It’s telling that for our Righties, this story is ho hum, a nothingburger. Cut to this story being about a Dem Sheriff threatening to not help Trump voters (and he knows who they are), and suddenly they’d get it.

This creates a bit of a quagmire in poor old beleaguered Springfield, Ohio. Disclosure: I grew up, I’m embarrassed to say, in Clark County. To my credit, I left the minute I could. On trips back there, for family events and such, I’m always reminded why I left. Ugh.

Hitler’s generals also tried several times to assassinate him, for the good of Germany—and at least plotted to kill him scores of times. Yeah, I wish he’d had Hitler’s generals too.

Remember that in RVonse’s world, Trump is the bestest most business-successy billionaire businessman in business history, and that nobody’s seen anything like it, and everybody is saying that.

I’ve always found it advantageous to learn about something, THEN start forming opinions about it, THEN start spouting those opinions to others. It’s important to do it in that order. Then again, RVonse’s way seems popular as well. We’ll know how popular in about two weeks.

Here’s a perfect example of how the “Trump is an existential threat to democracy” talk reflects a desire to broadcast the stakes in this election, not to stoke/rationalize/encourage violence against the Right, as Emily Lake would have it. And this…from a Republican...

It would mean about as much as being able to say that your football team had more passing yards, more rushing yards, and more first downs than the team that beat you 37-27. That rounds up to…nothing.

Good. If anything, this trend would logically drive twin consequences: Some non-zero number of Republicans will figure Trump has this one in the bag and thus not bust their ass getting to the polls, “since clearly Trump’s the winner,” while some non-zero number of Democrats do, in response...

This anecdote is exceptionally trivial (as compared to talk of breast cancer, double knee replacements, et al) but I offer it only because it happened yesterday. My wife and I both got the current flu shot and COVID vaccination shot —one in each arm— and the total was $20 per shot for a bill of...

No, it isn’t. I doubt that a full 1% of it is. The other 99% of it, I think, is crafted to “Get Out the Vote” against the objectively, undeniably real threat Donald Trump uniquely poses to American democracy, and to urge essentially everyone except the hardest-core MAGA zealots that they...

More heat than light emanating from this discussion, but…maybe that simply reflects that people on “both sides” (if we may simplify, for convenience’s sake, our audience into the binary “Liberal vs. Conservative” labels) not only hold passionate feelings about the issue, but almost inherently...

I hear Nebraska’s nice.

They’re eating the Bulldogs!

Is it just ‘cause I’m old that I actually remember a time when there was such a thing as “career-ending scandal comes to light, politician forced out of office?” There’s no line anymore; certainly it’s long been erased for the GOP. Dems did the right thing with Menendez; not that they got...

The basic problem is that, LONG before most adherents to [Faith “X,” whatever it is] reach adulthood and thus the ability to really and rationally think for themselves, they’ve already had that faith’s beliefs internalized and accepted as self-evident, installed by people they inherently...
