    Oh, the irony...

    Our most recent stimulus payment arrived on the same day as our property tax bill, and were nearly identical in size, so that is where the money went. So we paid the government with government money. Which is to say, money which was taken from us by the government and was then used to pay...

    Oh, the irony...

    Yes, I should have written that the point is to gain votes for the party.

    Oh, the irony...

    Well, yeah. The exact point of the stimulus is to gain votes for the Democrats. It didn't work on me, because I recognize that it was the Democrats who created the need to stimulate me in the first place (minds out of the gutter, gentlemen) but that really is not the point. The point is whether...

    Nah. There are plenty of diehards in both parties.

    Biden Press Conferences

    Can't speak for him, but for myself, I'm not. That doesn't mean I can't understand it, though. We had a choice between two really crummy candidates, and that's all there is to it. The only thing I have a hard with are the folks who were genuinely enthusiastic about any of them.

    Oh, the irony...

    My stimulus checks went toward food and rent. I wouldn't have needed them if my asshole of a governor hadn't forced my business to close, but as it is, I figure if the government prevents me from making a living, then the government can pay my bills. (With apologies to those whos taxes are...

    Trump Claims GOP for MAGA

    Well, sometimes they are in power and sometimes they are not. I figure they've got two years of carte blanche - and I blame Trump almost entirely for that - followed by two years of gridlock, for which Democrat overreach will be the culprit, as always. 2024? My crystal ball doesn't work too well...

    Trump Claims GOP for MAGA

    That's what, six weeks now? And they've already thrown a great deal of capital down the drain. Give 'em another three years and change. I expect we will be desperate for someone - anyone! - else by then. (Except Donald Trump. Maybe.)

    Trump Claims GOP for MAGA

    It may be so - but I think you give them too much credit. These don't strike me as chess players in general...

    Trump Claims GOP for MAGA

    Hmm. Maybe. I'm not a Never Trumper, but I still thought he has a lousy candidate and a crummy person. I imagine there were/are a lot of folks like me who really struggled with casting a vote for him. The Dems ran a truly terrible set of candidates as well, and it was Trump's election to lose -...

    Trump Claims GOP for MAGA

    "4) Establishment RINOs are unwelcome in this party" and "5) Republicans must more unified with a stronger backbone" should jump out at people. You're not going to unify the party by dividing them up into "True Believers" vs. everyone else. And that is one of the troubles with Donald Trump...

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    I hope that you are correct. I probably have reached the age where we all decide that America is going to hell in a handbasket. But people are getting fired for disagreeing with woke nonsense and critical race theory, and it's being taught in public schools all around the country. It may well...

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    Just off the top of my head, over the past few days... Dr. Seuss books removed from publication and banned on ebay due to "racist" images like an Asian person wearing traditional garb and eating with chopsticks Boston Public schools have dismantled their Advanced Learning Classes because there...

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    Whooboy are you out of touch! 😛 You should spend some time getting up to speed on woke/intersectionality/critical race theory. It's becoming pretty mainstream these days, and it's lunacy.

    CCP Virus Survival Gardens?

    If I ever plant a garden it will be to attract actual food. ;)

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    We should continue to do the best we can - but until the system is greatly improved, should not levy any sentences which cannot be undone.

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    So there never has been a wrongfully convicted person, and no government employee has ever worked to wrongly convict anyone?

    Normal May Be A Long Way Off

    A significant component of herd immunity is "A lot of the folks susceptible to it are already dead". I believe that Covid will indeed become a feature of the landscape, similar to influenza. We never will be rid of it and it will continue to kill the susceptible, just like flu does. The real...

    Why the death penalty should never be abolished.

    I am against the death penalty on principle. Aside from the already noted point that our government tends to be incompetent at best and criminally corrupt at worst, I simply don't like allowing our government that much power. Having said that, it's rare that I have any sympathy for the sort of...
