Why don't you step up to the plate and admit to the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI by Biden and his administration? If you do not admit to that, then I can not admit to any of the other democracy problems that you list. An easy one is mob rule, which is what you mean when you suggest ending the Electoral College. Pure madness.
So........weaponization?

"Weaponization of the DoJ and FBI" is YOUR party's dearest wish. It ain't happening yet. Going after criminals is not "weaponization" regardless of what your Orange Jesus spews out.

Oh, and BTW, "mob rule" isn't a thing, either. It's called majority rule, and you guys simply aren't the majority. Not any more.

Great job, now do "fascism".

You guys already "do Fascism". Too well, in fact.

You guys also need to stop giving RFKJr any cred on the Dem side. NO dem I know is gonna vote for that lunatic.

Since Repubs are lunatics already, some of them might vote for RFKJr, but only if Trump isn't lunatic enough for them, but I doubt that, too.

Family animals are so much part of us. Horrible when they pass away.

A beloved family dog, only two years old, died suddenly last night in its owners arms. He was a lovely little dog.

The death of a pet so young is horrible.

When they're old, you kind of expect it to be soon-ish, plus you have memories of your time with them.

I've had a lot of older rescue dogs, and it hurt to say goodbye to all of them.

But a two-year-old is in the prime of life, you expect to have them and enjoy them for quite a while at least. Very sad.

I didn’t say it did.

You’re missing the point. Which is; the Sun physically and actually rises above the horizon 8 minutes before we see it.

It’s cool.

The Sun doesn't "physically" rise.

The earth turns and exposes you to the sun's rays instantaneously, which left the sun 8 minutes ago.

The trip light takes from the sun to earth does not change the time of sunrise.

Put your hand up to the sun. It blocks the light, yeah? Do you think you have to wait 8 minutes to see the sun after you move your hand away?

The time of sunrise is the time the earth turns you into the sunbeam. It has nothing to do with sunlight transit time.

I saw one today, up close enough that I could read it if I had wanted to. I didn't, of course. In a checkout line. Query....Do y'all READ tattoos, do you do it sort of covertly, like maybe when they are distracted? Is it considered an invasion of privacy, or is it welcomed by the tattooee? And why would you read one? Do you put it in the same category as a bumper sticker?

Slumming at the supermarket?

Did your maid have the day off?

Dear Joe - Thank You for your improved composition skill in these forums. I know I've been hard on you about that in the past, but this is a marked improvement. Still room left for progress, but at least I can understand you now.

Well, done. 🙂

P.S. I think tattoos are a silly waste of money, but then I'm an older guy. When I was young the only people who had them were enlisted sailors and low-class call girls.

Call girls without tattoos can actually make much more money than those with.

Don't ask me how I know this.

Geez...what happened when I posted a video of a 50 year old man competing against teen girls and using their locker room?
Where's your snappy comeback claiming it doesn't happen?

Were these 50 year old men Republicans by any chance?

They called the exit lights 'ion implanters' so suntroker thought he was working on the starship enterprise when he checked the 9 volty batteries.

I'm guessing the Starship Enterprise would have no use for ion implanters.

It's true. The Fed's was the post office. A bunch of psychos if you ask me.

It's so hard to judge most stupid thing you've ever said, but this comes close.

Your entire mouth is filled with foolishness.
