Maybe. I also think part of it could be that they're just afraid of MAGA and Trump in general, just like all of these other corporations, universities, etc. that have bent the knee or rolled over for Trump. The corporate directors of Tylenol's parent company could be scared of just how hard a...

What Trumpism has shown is that the political rules and things like checks and balances and separation of powers don't really matter anymore - if you control all three branches of the federal government and most state governments you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want and dare your...

What a disappointment Kevin Spacey turned out to be. Great actor - loved him in The Usual Suspects - but he was a sick and twisted little man in his private life, imo. Of course given how many creepy roles he often played in his movies I guess it kind of fits. ETA: I know that he's been...

I've read that in a number of places that the percentage of Americans who regularly went to church and were active Christians was much smaller in the colonial period than it was later in the 19th and most of the 20th Centuries. And that was especially true, ironically, in the Southern colonies.

Translation: "I love all you MAGA people because you're so fat and ugly just like me. MAGA Nation stands for all those fat folks who do nothing but sit on their butts all day eating junk food from Dollar General and watching Fox and reality-tv shows all day, amirite? I just love you people!"

I get what you're saying, but unfortunately in our current, outdated political system land actually does vote in that rural areas are grossly overrepresented in Congress and the Electoral College. Wyoming with about 600,000 people has the same number of Senators as California with over 38...

That sounds like the bullshit claims of some Trumpers that if only Democrats would stop protecting LGBTQ people and leave them to their fate at the hands of conservatives and ignore obvious climate change then they might - might! - vote for a Democrat. Here's a hint - they still won't vote...

These people would all be shocked if they knew just how many of the Founding Fathers and Framers of the Constitution were not conventional, church-going, or mainstream Christians. Televangelists and right-wing colleges like Liberty U. and right-wing think tanks like the Heritage Foundation have...

Indeed. Trumpism has found its Eva Braun.

Just read that the dude is set to make $54 million AFTER getting fired, as that is what LSU owes him. So he fails utterly at LSU and will still walk away with a fortune. IMO, the amount of money being paid to coaches at these big schools is obscene and increasingly indefensible, especially given...

MAGAs Everywhere: "But but vaccines are bad, m'kay? Dear Leader and RFK, Jr. said so!" And on a side note, I've often wondered if the trauma and fallout from covid (lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccine requirements, etc.) helped spur Trumpers on to their new heights of paranoia and excess and...

Agreed. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

LOL. All that article does is to show just how far to the right the WaPo has moved since Bezos buddied up to Dear Leader. How the mighty have fallen in an effort to toady up to Trump. Somehow Harry Truman managed to remodel the WH while getting approval, creating a bipartisan panel of experts to...

I'll believe that Orban has lost when he is actually out of office. Until then I suspect that he'll do whatever it takes to remain in power, including simply rigging the election or just refusing to leave if he somehow does lose. Given his near-total control of Hungary's news media, military...

The closest Bessent has come to actually living on a farm for any length of time or plowing a furrow is probably watching Green Acres or Little House on the Prairie. He sure as hell hasn't done any real farming himself.
