2026 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

How great is it that John Fetterman is no longer relevant and will be primaried in two years.
:D

I'd bet on his staying Dem now. Why be a traitor to join a bunch of LOSERS? He'll still be primaried by either party.

The elections have messed with my football picks. There are several states I can't root against any longer. :|
That's the kind of problem you can live with.
:lol: I've been a Raiders fan for more than fifty years. In spite of Jon Gruden.

If she puts Hegseth in as a Senator, I will send her the "resign" thing and some other words.
It's time to refresh and polish your poison pen resume'.

Governor as an Independent. Eddie Lee Murphy came in 8th:

I figure to use more graphic descriptors in any future communications to these people. Stuff like "....relishing the image of you dying on your knees in the barnyard with the others watching" in response to some wingnutty dictate. Or comparing a new policy to it being ".....like coming to on the side of a rural dirt road in the rain with no money, cancer, and a dead girlfriend." And for Marsha exclusively, I'll recall how several years ago I informed her that she could resolve the "open border" issue immediately if she'd only stand naked at the southern border for two weeks. No idea if all my past hate mail was intercepted and never delivered. Maybe I should turn to certified mail. Or maybe a Door Dash type thing......Neo Bash. :D

:lol: "...like the black dot in Treasure Island" reminded me of some tv show I saw back in the summer about the history of the Mafia. They were talking about how people who had done something to piss off somebody who was important would get a "letter" in warning and it would have the symbol of a black hand at the end of the letter. Everybody knew it was bad to get one and if you did get one, you generally didn't brag about it.

... Taking after (Postal Inspector Frank) Oldfield's stance, victims stopped agreeing to victimization.

In one instance, Michael LoCascio was blackmailed for almost $6,000 in today's standard. LoCascio ambushed Black Hand boss Pietro "Silver King" Catalanetto, shooting and killing him....
:o Problem solved. Be careful ;-)
