  • I grew up in an extremely rural area. We had a dog that roamed a lot, just like so many dogs in the area (well, except for the weird people that would just tie up their dog outside their house for whatever reason).

    Anyway, local dogs would sometimes get together and try to chase deer. Apparently, one of our neighbors recognized our dog on one of these escapades. Someone he was with was about to shoot our dog for chasing deer and he stopped it. After that, we made a lot more efforts to keep him on our property.

    There was no animal control and people were especially precious about being able to hunt deer, so dogs that took to chasing deer down in groups tended to be at-risk.



  • It’s one thing to see the grinning sycophants in the admin saying it, it’s really wild when you see someone parroting this in person at the ground level.

    You expect that stupid shit-eating grin on the likes of Kevin Hasset the smirking chipmunk or when Mikey Johnson is gaslighting all of America, but when you see someone repeat this IRL it really is something: “But Turnip has to dig out from under Biden’s terrible economy…”

    I’ve asked a few of these people IRL exactly what was so bad about Biden’s economy toward the end of 2024? I still haven’t gotten an answer that was anywhere near to cogent…


  • I wonder if Pam wants to discuss Trump’s stock market.

    I think they’ll be just as selective about this (and the huge dips right after his stupid and illegal tariffs were announced) just like they are about Donvict’s economy in 2020.

    They act like it’s no fair to talk about the economy then because of Covid. Sorry, that kind of thing comes with the job, too. And honestly, I don’t know what he really did in his first term that would have boosted the economy anyway since Obama already had it on a great path.






  • Yes, I fully understand all the caveats and the frustrations with the Democratic Party. I think a great deal of Democrats are in the camp you describe, including me.

    I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about what seems to be a relatively small (but very vocal and quite smug) subset of the left that offer no truly viable options and then go on to lecture about how America and the DNC/Democratic Party deserves this kind of thing…if I didn’t have a few of these types in my life, I’d think the online ones were an orchestrated campaign to throw elections to the right.

    There are often several headlines per day that put the lie to how Republicans would be no different than the Democrats, and yet I’ve yet to see one of these types admit they were wrong or apologize for their claims. I mean, I get the fire in the belly - I was once a teenager, too. The sad part is that some of the people I know personally like this are way past the teen years.
