I thought Brexit was supposed to protect you from that :)

I think many here who are trying for thoughtful compromises don't understand the real problem. The real problem is that illegal immigrants -- whether they stay, get amnesty, a special visa or whatever -- get "special treatment." They get something Trump supporters don't/didn't/can't. That's...

Nope. And MAGA's willing to live with that problem as long as the price of peanut butter declines by 10 cents a jar (which was all Joe Biden's fault).

Yes, it's an illegal economy. Just like when you win a bet and don't tell the IRS. Oh wait, but Trump wants to decimate the IRS. Huh. Weird.

There's zero argument for having guns widely available to all and sundry but we have that too.

While I agree about a lot of this being performative and mostly talk, let us not discount one aspect: Trump isn't especially good at gauging the consequences of his actions, and his advisor set is not the best and the brightest. It's entirely possible he could overstep and upset the economy (and...

I’m more sanguine than that. It’s already starting with the “but we supported you because Biden and Harris are responsible for the Gaza genocide — what do you mean you have hardline Israel supporters in your cabinet?!?” This is the average level of thought revenge voters put into their choices...

They got what they (thought they) wanted. It better all go exactly as they planned. History tells us that Bumpkin’s Revenge rarely goes as planned.

Oh, apologies if it hurt your feelings. Trump and those in his cabinet (after effectively all his previous cabinet refused to endorse him nor want to work with him again — wonder why) are highly unlikely to implement the most sweeping and radical aspects of their change agenda. Why? Because...

I PM’d you so as not to clog the thread :)

Over here, I don’t think any ad annoys more people than this one. I am convinced that if there is a song on endless repeat in Hell, it is this one.

Just curious — was Joe Biden on the ballot? Don’t remember seeing him.

Well done @hilts and yet again another fabulous effort by @BlueHammer85 to keep this whole thing together for so many weeks! Last time was pure luck and serendipity as The Boxer was literally a last second throwaway that I was shocked won. This year BH asked for a favo(u)rite song and for me...

Just a thought but maybe a lot of women aren't really interested in a Trump- and Musk-supporting zealot. Not a value judgment, just a comment.

Don’t bother. The HHS should not be an anti-vaxxer. To be anti-vax is immediately disqualifying. There is no counter-argument. There is no other side. Dax is wrong. Trump is wrong. Next.

Trump is going to put immense pressure on Powell (really the Fed governors) to lower rates regardless of the direction of the economy and Fox et al will eventually make him the lightning rod for all ill as they did Fauci when he doesn’t do precisely what Trump suggests (unless there’s a...

It’s my personal favo(u)rite song of all time and has been since I was 14 years old.

By the way, if you guys want a tiny sliver of electoral justice, head over to the Song Cup thread and vote for Won’t Get Fooled Again over She Sells Sanctuary!

And SSS took out two of my picks! Edit — you’re right — wow! All of its opponents were quality.

WHFA: As well as being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. SSS: After its release in 1985, the single reached number 36 during a six-week run on the US Billboard Hot Dance/Disco Club Play chart in early 1986...
