This has been a feature of life in the U.S. for as long as I can remember, but admittedly, it’s getting worse.

If you want money for destroying people and their property, no one questions it for a second.

Try to help people?  Good luck with that.

There are two possible explanations here.  Trump supporters either believe that:

The entirety of the systems that monitor elections and administer justice are corrupt, and their hero, the true winner of the 2020 presidential election, an honest and effective servant of the American people, is being attacked by the radical left, the Hollywood elite, Deep State, or whatever–or

Trump may be guilty of some combination of fraud, election tampering, witness intimidation, extortion, or seditious conspiracy, but he’s nonetheless a better choice than some woke socialist who’s coming for their guns.

It’s hard to say which is more pathetic, but that really doesn’t matter, does it?

As far as I’m aware, there’s nothing you can buy on Amazon that you can’t on Ebay.

In any case, I haven’t shopped on Amazon in the many years since it became apparent how poorly it treats its employees, and, by extension, what a terrible person Jeff Bezos is.

According to the meme here, the answer is that ignoring the problem is so much easier, and there are so many distractions, the British monarchy amongst them.

I’m not a religious person, and thus I don’t pray, but the author of the meme here makes a good point.

Petitioning the Lord with prayer carries with it a number of logical flaws, chief among them is that 1) you acknowledge that God has plans for you and your loved ones, presumedly the perfect plans, but 2) you’re asking Him to alter those plans.

This reminds me of the conversation I’ve had with dozens of people since Trump took office:

Someone: The Democrats need a better platform than “We’re not Trump.”

Me: I’m not so sure. When your house is on fire, you get everyone out and then call the fire department.  You don’t remodel the kitchen.

At left is another good reason to indict Trump.

This needs to happen in order for us to preserve rule of law, but it’s also required if we’re to walk away with any level of dignity on the world stage.

Based on the meme here, and what we already know, why on Earth did Walker agree to debate Warnock?

If you know you’re dramatically inferior to an opponent in a certain arena, why not stay a million miles away from it?

I’m reminded of trying out for the high school golf team, and my longer-hitting opponent suggested that we play from the back tees.  Ahhhh….no.

Herschel: Call in with a sore throat.

This is good, but, as I was explaining to someone the other day, it’s not sustainable if it’s not profitable.

It’s very difficult to imagine how this product line can be cost-competitive in the absence of a huge tax on plastic.

My wife and I are up here in North Dakota visiting our daughter, and getting a feel for the local customs.  From a dietary perspective, things are pretty much what one would expect: lots of meat, scarce vegetables and fish.

The politics is deep red.  Republican John Hoeven is running for another term in the U.S. Senate on the basis that he “pushed back against the Biden administration’s call for vaccine mandates.”

As if this makes him special.  Anyone supporting science, as it applies to things like pandemic control, climate change mitigation, abortion, or anything else of consequence, would be run out of here on a rail.

I note that Hoeven’s ads don’t mention Trump.  Good idea.  For the first time since 2015, Trump has extremely negative approval ratings, even among many Republicans. Why take a chance associating yourself with a criminal conman when being anti-Biden is just as good, and completely noncontroversial?

This, btw, is indicative of precisely how the GOP will deal with Trump over the coming months.  There will be no admission that the former president was a person of zero personal integrity; at a certain point, he will be ignored, in the hopes that the American people will forget that he ever existed.
