He's delivering a bad speech well. Except for all the yelling. Still think he’s “Sleepy…..”?

If someone formed their opinion of Joe based on how you and Fox News portray him, I'd wager they're a bit surprised.

Re: What happened to the immigration thread?

It is a way to extend meals and mellow some of the pungent tastes of seafood and native tubers. Plantains are coming for you though. If you say so. They're just so starchy, to me. Whenever someone complains about a particular vegetable or fruit it’s because they haven’t been presented with a skillf...

Re: Another mass shooting

Not to make light of the shooting, but if Mr Acree had registered as a candidate for high office as a member of the MAGA cult the rubes would have paid his back taxes and legal fees. Or he could just ignore paying taxes forever

Re: Yemen

And while I’m not simply trying to “say it’s America’s fault,” I also think it’s wise to consider America’s role and presence in the Middle East in some pragmatic way, as least if we’re really gonna understand threads like this as well as we can. Unfortunately our “role and presence” in the Middle ...

Re: 2024

Close to 2/3rds of Republican voters think Trump is a good candidate even if convicted of a felony. I'd assume that close to 2/3rds of Dem voters would vote for a rock if that was their nominee. We're at the point now where the majority of people aren't voting for a candidate; they are voting for t...

The better comeback would have been “there’s sun in San Francisco?” I don’t know which is scarce, sun or parking lots!!

Re: an even more frightening perspective

Unfortunately, our “natural” water storage system is in jeopardy due to climate change. In California, the “free” dam was the snowpack. But the snow level is going higher and more water falls as rain rather than snow. Something needs to be done. I don’t know what that is. Speaking of solar, many par...
