“Lucifer in the flesh”–Ted’s fellow Republican John Boehner. As Cruz’s former college roommate, Craig Mazin, once put it, “One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz.” George W. Bush: “I just don’t like the guy.” Bob Dole: “I don’t know how he’s going to deal with Congress. Nobody likes him.” John Boehner: “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.” Lindsey Graham: “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”
La puta mili, as young men called it in Spain. Lots of hurry up and wait. Very little fun time driving tanks around. My father got drafted. I got lucky and didn’t.
My dad worked for a major bank. Sometimes when an employee stole money from the bank, it made the news. Other times, the bank kept quiet about it. You don’t always hear about this stuff because the business is too embarrassed to make it public.
This kind of thing sure seems to have happened quite a bit at Fox. Maybe there seems to be a whole lot of sociopathic predatory behavior among conservatives.
Dimon and Republicans are against it? Sounds like it’s something good.

I had some punk students with non-natural hair colors when I was a high school teacher in California, and that was a long time ago. Nobody cared. This story is from Texas, though.
“Maduro’s increasingly bellicose rhetoric over Essequibo is seen by analysts as an attempt to distract from a series of overlapping crises at home” I guess “blame the gays” didn’t poll as well as “invade a neighbor.”
Typical cop talk. There is crime everywhere, and my department needs more money to stop it.
A few years back I remember bad cooking oil in Spain led to some very serious adverse health effects. Good on the police for catching the adulterated oil purveyors.
Yes, the left has been better. The left didn’t practice family separation like Trump did.
Reminds me of the Dreadnought hoax. As a former prankster, much respect to the people of Kailasa (but not Nithyananda). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadnought_hoax
The news just gets sadder and sadder by the day. Why do I fixate on reading the news?
So, she was fired from teaching sex ed because she most likely knows more about sex than most people?
Instead of sinking all that money into rockets, Bezos could pay his workers more and not treat them like robots. He could let them unionize if they want. But Bezos is a typical billionaire with a giant yacht.

Right wingers around the world are taking notes…
“verging on climate denial” Verging? And this guy is the president of Cop28? Holy crap. Stick a fork in humanity, it’s done.
That’s war for ya.
Notice how nurses, EMTs, and teachers are among the professions that are both vital to society and treated like crap? Oh to be a coddled member of the ownership class!
