    That might not even move MAGA's needle. 

    It will not.  You could have video evidence of the most despicable sex crimes and it would be minimized as his “locker room phase” by the MAGA faithful.

  2. I read Ulysses S. Grants memoirs last year and one thing that struck me was how he described the Southern politicians behavior prior to the Civil War.  

    Grant argues the federal government was very much sabotaged from the inside by demagoguing old men well beyond their military service years.  He also claims the Civil War was about slavery and it was one of the worst causes ever fought for.  

  3.  Went snowmobiling in Yellowstone West yesterday and the little old lady at the gift shop bragged on the $3 coasters I purchased while causally dropping how awesome it will be when we get rid of that Joe Biden. She said she was optimistic about 2024 and I said, “That makes one of us.”  Walked out the store thinking we are so fucked.

    Can someone with strong religious beliefs explain to me what people mean when they said they "spoke with God" or that "God spoke to them"? I've always assumed they mean they had a feeling and that "God spoke to me" is a turn of phrase like "I'm starving to death." Not meant literally, just a way to emphasis something that is felt very strongly in any given moment. But these days I'm starting to think people actually interpret their strong feelings as literal voices. Surely there aren't that many people with true psychological issues hearing voices in their head that they legitimately contribute to a literal God.

    Perhaps people confuse their conscience with divine inspiration.  Either way, it’s feels over reals.  I dunno, people of various faiths conceptualize god, prayer, and communication with a higher power differently.

    They may think progress is slow, but the speed at which regressiveness would fly through a GOP House, Senate and White House will happen so fast, they'll wake up with no rights and being herded into camps. 

    And that is not some hyperbole, we know what they'll do.
