But apparently that doesn’t include the “sport” of horse racing, which regularly breaks horse’s legs as they are forced to run harder and faster than their legs can safely bear. But, unlike a human with a broken leg, it’s not a matter of putting the leg in a cast and enduring weeks…[Read more]

Irresponsibly loved. Each year, approximately 2.7 million pets are euthanized (1.2 million dogs and 1.4 million cats) worldwide.

Unexpectedly, perhaps, PETA runs a so-called “shelter” with an unusually high kill rate.

But it is also sometimes wrong and, unlike religion, is willing to say so:

@unseen, yes I’m afraid for my son’s father. His dumbass hasn’t gotten his citizenship yet when he could have years ago. I’m afraid they will deport him. My son hopefully is safe. I’m a citizen.

My hope is that these policies, and many of his others, will prove so popular that Trump will have to curtail or end them. Why? Because he’s so obsessed with being popular. He’s addicted to polls. As long as he can feed his greed, that may be enough to keep him happy. The big risk there is that he’s already signaling he wants a per…

@unseen, it’s already a huge nightmare. All of it. Did you see that basically Putin has already made a laughing stock of Trump? And Trump is already saying things about them deporting even people who are here legally. It’s really scary. it’s going to be absolutely horrible. He’s going to cause world war 3 and a Civil War at the…

What Maher is saying is that you have to play to what people believe instead of what is true in order to win. In fact, Biden did turn the economy and inflation around, he did strive to end the trickle-down policies that both parties have been supporting for decades. Voters are in fact misinformed. Doesn’t matter. Bill is correct you must do what…[Read more]

Emperor Trump wants congress to go on recess so he can slide his morons into power without hearings. Republicans and their jelly-spines.

Come on. Palestinians are human and love their children.

Sorry, I have heard them say they hate Jews more than they love their children. Their actions confirm this. All they have to do is stop trying to kill Jews.

Putting a corrupt “lawyer” with virtually no legal experience who’s also likely guilty of sex trafficking in charge of the FBI… How could that go wrong?

The parents of these brainwashed children are happy to use them as human shields. There were miles of tunnels, but those were for safeguarding their precious terrorists only. Such a great honor to have a martyr in the family, especially if they killed some Jews first. Even as many Iranians themselves are protesting their oppressive government,…[Read more]

Casting Palestinians as innocent victims, telling us that a trans woman with a dick really is the same as a biological woman, expecting that everyone should go to college to have value and cancelling and/or ostracizing people who said things not exactly “the correct way” are all prime examples of illiberal ideas.

The thousands of…[Read more]

Globalization was hard on people who didn’t get tech degrees or specialize in skills valued by international corporations. Education level has become the best predictor for how someone will vote. I have been worried for years that ultra-liberals can in fact be very unliberal and will drive the political center way to the right. I expressed that…[Read more]

@Jakelafort – ya made me think of a modern Sinclair Lewis.

I recently asked AI to “Compare Trump and Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip”. I thought the last paragraph of the answer was very funny.

Sinclair Lewis’s 1935 novel *It Can’t Happen Here* introduces Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, a populist politician who ascends to the U.S. presidency by exploiting…[Read more]
