if there is maybe ONE upside to all of this insanity — maybe this will put and end to buying stupid cheap shit from China. Like all the unnecessary plastic things currently lining the aisles of wal mart or CVS to put in your kids’ Easter baskets… only to get thrown away in a week. Or party...

Thought it was good for a British actor but found it unnecessary. The character went to Duke, but it doesn't mean he was from Durham!

Yes, not uncommon. I had to have an emergency surgery (after childbirth, no less) and woke up on a vent -- didn't quite understand what was happening and kept trying to take it out. Had to have restraints until I regained normal consciousness. I'm so sorry that you've having to go through...

Sure he may be trolling and he sure looooves the attention, but it's just SO incomprehensible that this man is president. And that millions of people voted for him and love him, and what that says about us as a society. Republicans used to run on values, but really it turns out that MAGA...

Cont'd "Some pundits on the left have tried to attack Musk by valorizing federal workers, like Just Security’s Nicholas Bednar (under “What the left is saying”), who argued, “Five bullet points describing one work week—a week that included a federal holiday—cannot capture the importance of the...

I get the Tangle email now and it happened to be on this very subject today. I can't link an email, so I am going to copy and paste what I thought was a very good response: "Most days, I can see the merit in arguments from across the political spectrum. After all, the issues we cover are...

I am so FUCKING pissed right now with all of this. Read through this reddit thread and hear how stressed all these folks are. VA doctors, psychologists, nurses, social workers... they love working with veterans and do it for frankly less pay than they could receive in the private sector...

A friend of a friend who is a doctor at a VA got the email today....

Not sure where this goes, but a friend of a friend who is a doctor at a VA got the email today....

I think this is all correct. Trump thinks Putin has what he wants (power, money, control, admiration) and envisions himself as Putin 2.0.

I actually think he *admires* him.

I am with my family down at the OBX this weekend. This morning we went to the Wright bros memorial, which is part of the national parks system. When we got to the gate, they waved us through without payment… I thought it was odd. But just came to find out it was due to the fact that their...

I worry about “perception” vs reality in your previous statements. Also, I’m happy for downsizing in federal government if it needs to be done, but it seems like a better way would be to 1) lower some of the barriers to termination of employment and 2) complete a focused, comprehensive audit to...

I am just going to say that I know next to nothing about international relations and geopolitics. But it seems like Trump is basically trying to have democracy exit stage left and organize a US/China/Russia alliance.
