Reading the article made me think of the scene in “Caddyshack” when Rodney Dangerfield’s character claimed to have a broken arm after being struck by a ball.

The sad thing about this is it’s our own fault. The inability or unwillingness to call a lie a lie and a liar a liar has gotten us to this point.

It sounds like a typical Republican trying to be a martyr. Hopefully there are enough witnesses to get these charges dropped or for him to be found innocent. On another note have we really reached the point where the word trans can’t be published?

I came here to say the same thing. It’s especially bad with streaming services. Row and column after row and column of options is overwhelming.

I’m so sick of this timeline. I can’t believe this isn’t an Onion article.

They’re in the same business. They have to believe that what they are doing is advancing access to care by making sure the companies are solvent. It doesn’t matter what the truth is. To quote George Constanza- “It’s not a lie if you believe it”

His wife is a physical therapist so she has an intimate understanding of the health care system. I’m sure it’s turning a blind eye. The article I read described their home as a $1.5 million home in an exclusive Minneapolis suburb. She knew. Cognitive dissonance can be very powerful.

Of course he is. It’ll only happen if he’s of some value to Trump. Everything with Donald Trump is transctional.

Being honest and a hard worker could be used to describe a hit man. Working hard at something unethical isn’t a virtue.

That’s what I’ve suspected all along.

I was reading an article that quoted his wife about what a great guy he was. It reminded me of Ken Lay’s wife talking about her families liquidity problems after the Enron collapse. Hundreds of employees lost everything and she’s griping about liquidity.

How long before they’re on prison being used as slave labor?

This is very true I live in red area of a red state and a common theme is a Democrat leader is immediately blamed for all problems upon taking office yet when it’s a Republican “you have to give them time to fix the problems”. I wouldn’t be surprised if Republicans are still blaming Democrats for problems at the midterm elections.

I see this being a common theme over the next year. Trump supporters shocked when policy changes impact them negatively.

All those groups really didn’t expect the leopard to eat their face.

I agree that manned space programs are unnecessary and unmanned should be very limited. Starlink shouldn’t have been allowed. Unfortunately the US government let telecoms off the hook when it came to serving rural areas.

That’s because tech peaked a while back. Tech news is basically about the next hustle to keep the funding coming in while producing nothing truly useful.

Not only does it cause compliance it creates a perfect setup for exploitation, extortion, and trafficking.

I’m guessing the reason they didn’t want to say who they voted for is cognitive dissonance.

I use it for the same reasons as you and I also follow local news outlets and local government since Twitter went to crap. I follow a few special interest groups but political posts, probably by bots is making most of these groups unusable. I couldn’t care less about the content. I go to other platforms for that

I can’t decide if Gaetz or Mike Johnson has the more punchable face.
