Yes ... incredibly annoyed. Go ahead and sign a bill saying that lab-grown meat can't be marketed as "meat." That's like the diary lobby forcing Oatmilk to be marketed as "Oat Beverage" or some similar annoying but pointless legislation. But why ban the process itself? Is there any rationale other than rent-seeking (protectionist) behavior of the American rancher lobby? I suppose the same guy thinks GMOs are o.k., but lab-grown meat isn't? Why? (I'm in favor of not stalling innovation in general, whether GMOs or lab-grown meat)

Kristi, dog, puppy, whatever. All I know is she desperately needs a new PR person. Maybe it's all Corey's fault. https://nypost.com/2023/09/15/kristi-noem-corey-lewandowski-affair-shakes-up-trump-running-mate-stakes/ Really, you try to distract people from the extramarital affair story by releasing a story about how you shot your dog? Distraction complete I guess. Maybe this was more about Corey throwing her under the bus so he can go back to doing his Trump work.

This is good because turnabout is fair play? Isn't this the same kind of "you hurt my feelings and I felt threatened" claim that the right always (correctly) satirizes?

Great source! Witness's name is even wrong. What really happened: Davidson (not Richardson - thanks for paying attention!) testified it was accurate that there was no romantic relationship. That's only because he banged an adult film actress (hooker) once. Wham bam thank you ma'am. Great testimony for former President Dennison! EDIT: it depends on what the meaning of "is" is ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms_of_Donald_Trump

What's incorrect in the article? I'll admit I just skimmed it quickly, but it obviously cites to specific Facebook groups and their recruitment efforts. Which is, after all, the point of the article - that they are "coordinating on Facebook." Wouldn't this suggest the opposite, namely that Dems are confident that Biden will win and that militants right-wingers will try to do a better organized Jan 6 this time around?

All that could make sense, except that actual voting trends at the macro level (highly educated city/suburban precincts voting overwhelmingly for democrats) supports the validity of such polls. Yeah, all those wealthy/highly educated precincts are filled with Marxist-Leninists. Grow up.

1. It is true. 2. He shouldn't have said it out loud. By the way, not "cute an harmless." I referred to Leonard Cohen saying that at a certain age an old man goes from being revolting to being adorable ...

Biden won college-educated white women by 9 points in 2020. This survey has him ahead by 17 with them. Trump won college-educated white men by 3 points in 2020, but now Biden is ahead by 10 points with them. Biden also has a lead among older voters. The erosion in his support is coming from younger and minority voters. So other than that, you synopsis is correct. 🙄 https://www.npr.org/2024/05/01/1248249250/election-poll-trump-biden-voters

Well I don't see anywhere in the story that he actually had explosive devices. But yes, the NY bail reform law is awful.

I thought that was the kind of straight/unfiltered talk you guys value!

If they want to repeal the 14th Amendment, come right out and say it. Otherwise just STFU.

That's because there's good reason to believe that Ray Epps egged him on.

Are you sure that Lord Seth Phoenix of Corfu isn't an illegal from Greece? A time-traveler from the 15th century? A Game of Thrones extra?

I actually agree with you on that.

Depends. Is my date are my dates paid escorts? If so, I'd have them do a little golden shower show on it. Notice how quickly the approved Trumpy narrative changed. Yesterday: antifa has infiltrated student demonstrations. See, we were right! They're a bunch of communists! Today: they are pretending these student protests are not really student protests. Don't fall for it!

I think his wife is the brains behind the Fetterman brand.

Who ya got? Is it too much to ask for a presidential candidate that hasn't used an alias for shady deals?

I like how Fetterman went from brain-dead lurch to America's leading truth-sayer the minute he started saying culturally conservative things.

Nevermind, Kristi. The dog was 14 months old, so depending on what definition you prefer, perhaps not a puppy. Shoot the bastard!

So I watched a bit. Lame.

Right. It sounds like she's smart and has good management skills, so it shouldn't be that surprising that Terry looked to her as the next in line.

Just pointing out that someone's gonna inherit that accumulated wealth. Sometimes I think the kids of boomers are just annoyed that they are too healthy and living too long.

Well, as one of the tail-end boomers who's sinking a ton of money into the human capital of his kids (college and beyond), I don't think Gen Z has anything to complain about.

Yes. It still amazes me that three decades after we apparently passed the leadership torch to the baby boomer generation, we've somehow reverted back to leadership by the ancient pre-Boomer generation. Will someone step up? Gen X, I'm looking at you.

That's one for you, nineteen for me. - Taxman (George Harrison/Beatles) Inspired by George being stunned when he found out that the marginal tax rate in the UK was 95%.
