Unfortunately the messaging will be: "well if Biden hadn't driven the national debt up you could have kept your hospital".

And folks will believe it.

You think Pope Leo ever rode the Demon at Great America?

It's not great that Pope Francis was obstinate at first to allegations against priests.

He did repent of that and apologize, did some good work the last five years.

But it's only be five years of really addressing this issue... Took the papacy far too long.

Dang, that's down the street from me. I never heard much about that. I actually tried to get my folks to let me go there to follow some friends out of jr high, 04-08.

Those under financial stress are 74% likely to commit suicide.

16% of suicides are attributed to a financial problem.

Are we talking about this? I think we should.

"No one" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Who do you think should have said something and didn't?

Who spoke out against Kamala that you feel was consequential?

Very resonator effect they've pulled from it.

It could also be a modeler/preamp. Fishman has a floor unit like that for instance.

Holding our representation to a high standard and communicating our interests as their constituents might not be a winning strategy, but it's kind of the whole point of this democracy thing.

Some days I think about all the far Leftists who spent the entire 2024 presidential campaign on performative outrage against Kamala Harris, and wonder if they think it was worth it.

Clerked a yard for IKEA for two years. This is so utterly unnecessary, I have no explanation who was asking for this but racist folks thinking someone took their job.

Also, we don't have enough truckers to begin with, it's utterly unhinged.

Most stats show 80% want manufacturing work to come back, but 80% don't want those jobs.

I wonder how that latter stat shifts as you ask rural communities.

Got any data, @ryanburge.bsky.social?

I'm not saying I wanted Joe Kent.

I'm saying Marie sucks too.

If your whole sales pitch is "at least I'm not a full-blown fascist," you're still selling garbage, just with less screaming.

Expecting better isn’t the same as rooting for worse.

I know how annoyingly liberal this sounds, but it's in no small part due to racism.

Not many value systems that lead a group of people to shoot themselves in the foot if it means hurting those they deem undeserving like racism.

They neglected to mention that The Bible Belt is also the pornography belt and the welfare belt.

I live at the left side of that t

Surprised the guy that promised to end the genocide in Gaza, that the invasion of Ukraine never would have happened under his watch, would now allow the conflict arising in Kashmir...

Starting to think he lied on his resume.

The worst version of social media content are those videos with new music overlayed onto some movie clip with the original score still bedded.

I'm ok, as others have said, Hardaway was foul hunting. Granted, got one, but I'm ok with that being discouraged with a no-call.

Play the game.
