I beg to differ. I agree about the Dems. . . they discovered that fighting for equality for non-Whites and women was a political winner for them. And the Republicans, as I said earlier, found that scooping up the racists and misogynists disillusioned by the Democratic moves was good for them...

Kthx. Just clarifying in my (excuse for a) mind.

Are you talking about the Texas freeze-out last winter? That wasn't generation, that was distribution. The rest of what you say is obvious. Which is why you have to state it.

The problem is that the measures needed to tame inflation often lead to recessions. The problem with recessions is that people seem to think they're disasters. They aren't. The U.S. has had seven in the last 50 years. If anything, a recession is an indication that you've overcorrected and...

Illustrative of the real impact of the problems we're facing. Now, if only we could get past blamethrowing and work the damn problem. . .

The nanny state worries me. Not that I have much use or liking for threatening and harassing behavior on-line, but they always push laws to insane extremes. Who among us has not said, upon learning of something stupid a spouse, or a boss, or a kid has done, "I'll kill her/him?" Obviously...

Arkansas did that. Capped credit card interest at 14% (yeah, that's crazy high, but it's the only cap I know of in the country). Gloom and doom were predicted. None actually happened. That no other state (that I know of) has followed suit indicates the power of the banks in state legislatures.

It started in 1964 with Barry Goldwater's run for the Presidency, and was made much more strategic by Nixon's "Southern Strategy" in 1968 and subsequently. As the Democrats, under the influence of their more powerful Northern faction, moved away from overt racism as policy, Nixon recognized an...

Yeah, like "the Democrats USED TO BE the racist party, and seeing as how nothing ever changes, they must STILL be!" is a true developmentally-disabled community tradition.

It's a standard tactic. Look at the group you hate, pick out the most extreme handful, and claim that they're representative.

I don't know. Lynchings and a nice, fun, weekend gay-murder are good ol' boy traditions.

Obviously a false-flag operation. That's why it happened when Nancy Pelosi wasn't there. The Democrats did this.

Right now, Job #1 is to tighten the money supply. I don't see it as disputable that the most obvious (though not necessarily the only) cause of the inflation is too much money chasing too few goods and services. And the primary (though not the only) cause of that is "temporary emergency...

DePape was a on a normal tourist visit engaging in legitimate political discourse.

Yep, pretty standard-issue conservative.

MAGAhats are stupid twats and pathetic wannabes. This moron apparently couldn't lay hands on a gun. In San Francisco. Shame Mr. Pelosi didn't Babbitt him.

Here's Paul Pelosi at 75. . . And here's DePape at 32 (right). . . Probably helped that DePape's Canadian.

How dare anybody ever think beyond next week! TREASON! I agree about the jet-setting. Not a good look. But money has its favorites.
