A dying breed, soon to be a fossil: conservative, compassionate, empathetic, supportive, believer in facts, truth, honor, integrity, democracy, science, education, liberty. In other words, the antithesis of MAGAts.

So Trump is suing the American taxpayers for $10 billion, because somebody released the Trump tax returns that Trump had promised to release himself. #hypocrisyisdead

This is why I believe we will not escape the political catastrophe that right wing media has unleashed upon our nation. This post was today, adult voter, as we can document more than 20 ongoing violations of the constitution.
But, “constitutional conservative”.
And “independent critical thinker”.

To be 100% clear here, this is ICE attempting to illegally sneak across a U.S. border into Ecuador.
Pretty sure I walked by just minutes after this. There was a big crowd gathered outside their door. Northeast have been making me proud with how rapidly they show up in numbers anywhere ICE tries to invade up and down Central Ave.

The future is coming whether buggy whip makers and promoters want it or not.
But their actions have handed that future to China. Because of how much they hate China.

Republicans are entitled to threaten liberal governments using massive amounts of raw firepower. School children be damned, it’s in the constitution.
Liberals are not to defend themselves from actual tyranny using whistles. The constitution be damned, people need to obey!

I wonder if it means anything that the SeaHawks will have only played 2 games in over a month when they walk into the field for the SB, whereas the Patriots had continued to play every week and will just have come off a post-season “bye”?

Decades ago, when I was a bartender, one of my constants was lending a patient ear to fans of losing football teams who needed to rant and vent how their team was somehow cheated by the refs.
Now those people whip out their video editing skills and flood social media.
It’s still exhausting.

After regular season disrespect, let’s look at playoff strength of schedules:
Sam Darnold has been fed the 19th and 17th best defenses. Now he will deal with the 8th.
Drake Maye has faced down the 5th, then the 1st, then the 2nd. And now goes up against the 6th.
A Drake Maye SB win would be legit

I’m kinda wondering why I am not hearing statements coming out of the Minneapolis Police Department regarding any activities concerning an execution-style murder on their streets, committed in broad daylight and documented by half a dozen videos that the entire planet has witnessed.

Worth paying attention to. Also worth noting, their defense is doing this as their offense was facing the #1, #2 and #5 defenses throughout the NFL.

Another fun fact: Jarrett Stidham’s highest season QBR was this past 2024. 100. Where he never attempted a single pass and had 4 total carries all season. For 5 net yards.
fun fact: the Broncos were the only team in the NFL whose backup QB did not attempt a single pass this season

Note to #amazon: your earthquake alert system is 100% worthless. The objective is to warn users of an oncoming earthquake BEFORE the shockwave reaches the user.
Warning them after the shockwave has passed - as y’all did last night with the Indio quake - is rather…er…embarrassing.

As Trump promotes the benevolence of being a dictator, we should note that Congress - especially through Speaker Johnson - in abdicating the role we elected them to do have made Trump just that de facto dictator.

Because, as usual, MAGATs don’t know jackshit about actual law and order. By accepting the Trump pardon, they admit guilt for their crimes in exchange for forgoing punishment.
Now they think the judges and prosecutors were wrong for trials over what they pled guilty of doing?
