Jump to postA comical level of pettiness is playing out in the NHL Playoffs.

I'm surprised Tucker is a misogynist who deemed it appropriate to use the C-word in a professional setting to refer to a female colleague.. said no one, ever.

Jump to postI wonder if part of the issue is that Americans have been shielded from the visual and grisly horror of gun violence in its totality - become desensitized to it - and that has enabled others to fill the void or vacuum with a romanticized view of guns (am thinking along the lines of families posing w...

Jump to postThe delicious irony of the GOP and Trump using taglines like 'Drain the Swamp' and 'Lock Her Up' … only to have them come back to bite them in the behind.

I don't think it would have changed anything.

MTG should ease off the Chardonnay before showing up for work functions. No one likes a loud, aggressive, obnoxious drunk.
Agree with the posts above re: medicare and SS - Biden set it up and the GOP took it hook, line and sinker.
I guess "antagonistic, chest-puffing, a*shat" isn't very PC so the term 'sovereign citizen' is decent enough substitute as a label.
