If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.
The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.
I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoQ: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
As a Missourian, watching Schmitt get owned, is manna. During his tenure as Mo AG he sued schools for covid precautions. That was his only claim to fame. He’s nothing more than an opportunistic douche and deserves all the ridicule we can heap upon him.
Refuse to give billionaires a platform for anything. Stop believing they are smart – they aren't. Stop believing they can "see the big picture" – they can't. Stop believing they are motivated by ethics – they have none.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Theodore Roosevelt once said republics rise, flourish, and fall because their citizens turn the government into a tool primarily to benefit one class instead of benefiting the people as a whole, and I think about what he said quite a lot.
you know Lake America sounds like a really shitty water park where you got pink eye from the pool at the button of the water slide.
Do it. It may not mean all that much but we can at least annoy them a lot.
Cristian Farias@cristianfarias.com · 2mo agoTurns out Apple Maps lets you leave a report if something on its map is wrong and needs correction. So I submitted a report about Lake Ontario. Would be a shame if lots of people flood the service with similar reports.
Are you fucking kidding me, Google Maps? When somebody told me y'all did this, I didn't believe them. But Jesus suffering fuck... This is some weak-ass, cowardly, down-on-your-knees bullshit.
Google held out for three days and then renamed a lake that has been Lake Ontario on American maps since 1656. Nobody made them. The Seneca Nation cited a treaty from 1794 and Carney refused outright, but the company with the trillion dollar market cap folded. www.rawstory.com/trump-lake-o...
Outrage as Google ‘capitulates’ to Trump with ‘genuinely disturbing’ move: ‘Just pathetic’

If you haven’t read Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” now would be a good time…
Jon Ossoff found the one button in Washington labeled DO NOT PRESS and immediately leaned on it with both elbows.
When I wake up and think I've missed the bus to school but it's Saturday and I'm 60.
I've stepped into the Booker Prize longlist with two wildly different reading experiences. John of John is layered, expansive, and richly rewarding, while Helen of Nowhere is a somewhat clever, tedious, and experimental book that isn't as profound as people want it to be. #booksky
You could have voted to impeach in January 2000. Instead, you voted for no witnesses and no documents to be allowed at trial. You are a failed person, Cornyn.
