Kansas Crimson

Comes and goes with what's on my desk. On good days (and assuming I'm not working on overseas time zones), I'm not waking up before the rest of the house. So I'll sort some emails and things over coffee in the 630-715ish range, then take the youngest guppy to school and move ahead with my day. Almos...

Ivanka worked in the WH. Jared worked in the WH Ivanka got $100M from the Saudis & UAE, Jared got $2B. Now Lara Trump is chair of the RNC her husband is a FL delegate Don Jr & his girlfriend Tiffany & her husband & Barron who's never voted are delegates But Hunter. GTFOOH Agree. I d...

Where has the craftsmanship, the nuance, the attention to detail, the pride gone?

They're not even bothering to sugarcoat anything anymore. It's just straight, uncut, weapons-grade lies.

This crystallizes many of the small things that are giving me optimism that the dam is breaking (along with again noting that results from actual voting are more important than polling).

Which is why it's so disheartening to see obviously-smart people (like Ann Coulter) say obviously-stupid things (like this: https://www.kansascrimson.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=4581&start=1860). If the founders had meant for the Constitution to favor WASPs, then the founders could have written ...

I want my money back!

I think this is a smart way to win back any portion of the jury that was turned off (stop it, MICH) by the Stormy stuff.

Rep. Lieu serves one of the districts I grew up in, and a childhood friend of mine worked for him for a long time. He would absolutely be on my short list for the classic “dinner with ten living people” question. Not sure he’d make the final cut, but.

no, but if you quit spewing the same bullshit that "we have choices, we just have to vote" that would be a good start. “Voting isn’t marriage, it’s public transport. You’re not waiting for “the one” who’s absolutely perfect: you’re getting the bus, and if there isn’t one to your destinati...

pdub the voice of reason in this thread. zsn, Shirley, and 2coach, are C-walkin, throwing up their sets, and hanging their blue flags. 24th street, Garden Blocc holmes! So if I just whine about the way things are it will move me to the "voice of reason" column? Nice! It's two different co...

Trump has obviously told his attorneys to go after Stormy in today's cross, but damn, she is doing a fantastic job of holding her own, and I don't think as of yet, they've managed to land a glove. The fact that Trump has to sit there and helplessly behave himself, must be tearing him apart, and mak...

Finishing up Vikings on Netflix, had never watched it before for some reason. Thoroughly enjoyable late night watching. Fun to imagine living at such a time in such a place. What a bizarre existence that must have been. I like to imagine stealing someone from those times and bringing them to our ti...

Do you disagree with something I said, or, is it that you don't like that what I said is true? I don't like that we just accept it as true. I'm naive for thinking voters should have a way way better choice for the people who represent their country. I think being aspirational about our system of el...

This should be the sort of thing that, when it crosses the ol' cerebellum transom, should make one stop and think, am I sure here?.

This pretty much sums it up (keeping in mind the dozens if not HUNDREDS of lawsuits that have been dropkicked into the Sun for lack of evidence). Speaker Mike Johnson: "We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections. But it's not been something that's easily pr...

Yes, forgive me for being open minded. You say it like it’s a bad thing! All social media apps are data-harvesting weapons in disguise. Again, it seems lawmakers could nip this in the bud by simply enacting consumer protection and privacy laws. Rather than forcing a foreign company to divest, which...

It's almost like dynamic situations, change.

#sorrynotsorry This is too, too good: (Because, Fuck that traitor!) Stormy Daniels, the adult-film actress at the center of Donald Trump’s hush money trial, testified Tuesday about a disturbing sexual encounter she says she had with him, leading to angry, profane muttering from the former president...

Literal brain worms.

Lunch break is almost over, and Stormy will be retaking the stand. My heart goes out to Barron. I don't care who you are, a high school senior having to hear this crap about their father is heartbreaking. His father should be ashamed, but we all know he's too much of a pos to feel a human emotion l...
