Are you being sarcastic, man?

Fishermen?

They are innocent until proven guilty, not until killed.

I too spent some of my childhood in the American South, and also several years in my 40s. My distaste for the South is well informed, and it’s my only prejudice that doesn’t embarrass me.

There are good people and bad people everywhere, and smart people and stupid people everywhere, but there’s a noticeably higher percentage of bad, stupid people in the South.

I’ve wondered, too. Is it driven by an obsessive hatred of Arabs and Muslims? The Christian Right’s fetish for armageddon? Oil? Kickbacks?

So, so, so very right on, dude. This is the situation, and that is the answer.

The road to today was littered with “Trump is nuts, but he’s not nuts enough to do that.”

My brother just had his prostate removed, can’t eat or leave his apartment for a week, and he’ll probably never have a full-on erection again. My wife had to do dialysis three days a week, which left her weak and ruined after every session. A friend of mine is in pain 24/7, and has been for decades.

I am the luckiest fucker on earth, to have good health, and I’ve never done a damned thing to deserve it. For 50 years I ate almost nothing but crap food, and I’m flabby and never exercise.

Ain’t no justice in this life. Ain’t much life if you don’t have your health.

I’d seen the headlines, but most — like TPM’s — haven’t included the name Brent Bozell. He’s quite reprehensible, even by Trump standards. Young folks might need an introduction.

The fuck is G7 anyway, but the face of global capitalism?

Just doublechecking my premises, there’s this from Investopedia:

The Group of Seven is an intergovernmental organization made up of the world’s largest developed economies: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Government leaders of these countries meet periodically to address international economic and monetary issues, with each member taking over the presidency on a rotating basis…

Yeah, fuck 'em, but all is forgiven if G7 has the balls to expel America.

Gaza is like what, 4 square miles?

About 141 square miles.
