Re: The republican War On Women

I'm old enough to remember when it was considered absurd that Christo-Fascists wanted to pretend that a fetus is a person.

Re: Quitting my job today

Despite what is out there being reported, from actual people on social media, and those in my industry, the job market is a hellscape right now. Among other things, it doesn't help that the excess savings that led to a spending spree due to the government benefits plus inability to spend on "t...

Re: What music does everyone listen to?

It's a reasonable assertion to posit that at one time, David Sanborn was the most heard saxophonist in the US, if not the world for a couple of decades. His discography and the list of people he played with is truly a who's who of several genres of popular American music. Here's a partial list: Sanb...

Re: 2024

Trump increased the national debt 7 Trillion dollars in only 4 years, and is promising even more tax cuts if he's elected? Imagine what he could do in 8 years!

If that's not Republican fiscal responsibility, I don't know what is!

Re: 2024

Serious question: Is it better to be an activist, or to be a protestor? Consider how those in power do really nothing to earn our votes, but are trying so doggedly to counter these protests. Trying to decide if that says something about where we should concentrate our political energy. Making absol...
