99. It is cosmically funny in a horrible this moment kind of way

Sat Jul 20, 2024, 12:35 AM

Jul 2024

To function in a world where some democrats seem intent on living in the alternative facts the gop has invented.

We have been living inside this kleptocratic framing for quite sometime now. It is bizarro.

We have an excellent president who is doing an excellent job. The republicans can lie about that all day long but it does not change the facts. Apparently, the lies give some sane folks the heebie jeebies.

President Biden will win unless we Rosa Luxembourg our way to losing. The republicans should be so lucky to have these successes!!

As an unrelated aside, the tech bros do need to live on their enormous incomes. Nobody guaranteed them a lifetime living on loans at zero interest. Grow a pair. This is a fantastic economy and they know it.
