Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
The race to the bottom among Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott and JD Vance* may have finally been definitively won (lost?). At least I hope the bar can't be lowered any further. Governor Abbott's pardon of a racist, murdering POS for no good or even arguable legal, ethical or moral reason makes me want to ...

Been watching the Karen Read trial (going on up in Bubba's neck of the woods) in its entirety. Hell of a deal. It is definitely a local obsession but being away I haven't actually followed it very closely. You'll have to tell me all about it :) Another thing I've been trying to nail down re: this c...

My favorite whipping boy is back in the news, so I can't resist. From the WaPo (emphasis added): Scorching temperatures set numerous records across South Florida on Wednesday, and historically hot conditions for mid-May will persist through the weekend. On Wednesday, Key West experienced a particula...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
this speaks volumes to the root of voter dissatisfaction and apathy. I totally understand voter dissatisfaction and while I get the apathy, imho voter apathy in any election but especially in this one is just not an option.

the riskiest possible candidate High risk and disappointing for sure. But riskiest possible?

Sounds like they are just calling this long-lost song "Mystery Song" as of now. I've now heard a little of the background about this song and it seems that not only does nobody remember recording it, nobody even remembers writing it!
