When you're in a Russian prison, you'd probably be overjoyed to return to North Korea as long as it's not to another prison.

Fortunately, I was able to do early voting. I hate Abbott so much (including the usual crew that gets elected with him), so it was a pleasure to vote against him, even though I realize the odds are completely for that asshat winning another term (as well as his cohorts).

He thrives on adulation. Practically everything he does is in pursuit of that.

For them, it's a win-win. The wealthy are already going to vote for them, so they just laugh at the lie and vote Republican anyway. Meanwhile, they know they're never going to get the hard liberals, who are the ones mostly saddled with debt, so all they have to convince is their less educated base that the liberals are doing evil again, and just get that base out to vote.

I've been on the waiting list for a Steam Deck forever. I want one so bad, but Steam no love me.

Coincidentally, the Ukrainians have been seen yielding purple lightsabers.

I've had two book publishing deals cancelled due to financials.

It was the top secret plan to make America great again, only that the guy was too stupid to remember the combination and too cheap to hire a locksmith to open it up, so instead America got the stupid plan that he came up with on the fly as he took advice from the pillow guy.

Although it won't happen, the best solution would be to sell DC to Disney.

I am so confused by this thread.

I suspect that a few of my ex-girlfriends have been planning my execution for years.

It's difficult to get wrong when she is the essence of my entire religion.

It's only a wasted vote in the minds of those who lost the election. To the person voting his or her heart, the vote wasn't wasted because he or she actually voted for whom they really wanted. It is when elections are seen as winners or losers that we end up in situations that bring us shitty candidates like Trump as an either/or requirement.

That's kind of how it starts. Too bad we don't have some virus that occurred in the past to give us guidance going forward....

I suspect that mindset from the American people is why this is going to explode and take a long time to get under control, kind of like HIV.

I give up. We suck as a modernized country.

Due to this being sponsored by Manchin, the rest of the Democrats should reject it and just say that they can't support something like that.

The goal is to get those feeling good people to actually vote, which is a problem that dates back to the early days of this republic.

Can't wait to see how the Republican Party spins this as Biden failing America.

Fortunately, I'm in Texas where it never gets hot.

The 14 day lifestyle Libre is an awesome device. As someone who hates finger pricks like me, it has been a lifesaver.

What he doesn't seem to understand is that what should be most important to him is not the people of the country he dislikes but those he would be serving with who are far more significant than the imaginary people he perceives that don't like him. Unfortunately, people who fill their lives with vitriol and anger rarely go about making new friends.

Part of what worries me about the Ukrainian crisis is the constant criticisms of the Russian Army. While I don't disagree with any of the negative assessments, the net result is going to be that the stupid people in America will then start arguing for how the time is ripe for the US to confront Russia with our "superior" military. And before you know it, we'll back Russia into a corner where they end up launching missiles, and our worst nightmare will happen because people like Tucker Carlson will have more sway than four star generals.

Is Superman going to have to throw rocks to stop the water flow again?

I once went undercover at Fort Leonard Wood in a basic training unit where my assignment dictated I was a noncomformist (always getting in trouble) and this one drill sergeant wanted to pick a fight with me SO BADLY because of my "attitude" and got so frustrated because I wouldn't throw a punch (which would then allow him to kick my ass legally). It's one of my biggest regrets because I never found out who would have won that fight, but even though I was at my physical peak back then, I suspect he would have held his own.
