Anyone notice that Harris has not whined and lied for months that the election was stolen? Anyone konw who DOES do that? A Republican Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin just recently gave up his whiny whine that his election was rigged. These people just can't be honest about anytinng. Fuck them.

Is that a metaphor for America?
I think a better one would be the one where the roadrunner painted a fake tunnel on the side of a mountain, escaped through it, and when Wile E. Coyote chased after him he was stomped by a train coming through going the opposite way.

The importance of the attachment
to the boulder being more about
the attachment than the boulder.

Understood. Just wanted to give an honorable mention to the train wreck that trump and his cult of Republicans is. I keep hoping that at some point the Republicans will come to a sudden jarring realization of reality.....like when you're driving at night on ice at 90 miles an hour and you suddenly see a large black pig in your headlights. BAM! Instant clarity. I figure there's about a 30% chance of it.

That's happened to you? I've never seen a pig on a road.

I'd go 20%.
Nah, it's actually a line from something Hunter Thompson wrote that sort of stuck with me. The concept of suddenly being aware, via instant clarity, what had previously been shrouded in some sort of mystery or ambiguity. I've actually read accounts of how some magats have pretty recently experienced this sort of thing. They all seem to be shocked, sobered, and rattled when they're able to see through the smokescreens.

So for some weird reason, there were 6 million Californians who voted for Trump in 2024. But Trump hates California and goes out of his way to take away whatever he can and not benefit this "dark blue" state at all if he could. Now quite of few of those 6 million aren't so happy here either for whatever reason so they likely thought "I hate Gavin; Trump hates Gavin, so I'll vote Trump." But now they should realize that because they live in CA, even as Trump voters, he's gonna treat them as badly as he treats Democratic voters and their little grudge vote didn't get them anything but a loss of health insurance, no fire/flood protection, ridiculously rising prices on everything - in short a kick in the ass by Trump's boot.

Aren't you a huge fan of Cheech & Chong's "Up in Smoke"? Damn, O Really mentioned no fire protection for California.
