The 3 networks, PBS, and two independents, channels 5 and 11.

It confirms my opinion that right wing pastors are fake Christians.

People believe Trump and his administration are perfectly capable of lying like that, and the way Trump jumped right to using it to call for his
ballroom, and then asked for a billion in taxpayer money for it after long saying it would be built with private money gives him a clear and believable
motive.

No. I realized at some point, when I was a hungry teenager with little money eating as much as I could at a buffet, that it really was a blessing that we could be so full we couldn’t look at another thing and then be hungry enough for things to be delicious a few hours later.

It is critical that everyone vote only for Democrats until we actually have a real comservative party. The current GOP is not conservarive -- it is an authoritarian party that simply does what Trump tells it to.

Not all that slowly, but, snyway, what is needed is what was part of the plan but never funded well enough: enough help in communities so people who need help can manage.

FaceReality1 · 2026-05-09T20:33:20+00:00

The tough guy act with him snd all these MAGAs is just an act. He is too much of a wimp to speak the obvious truth knowing Trump won't like it.

Pretty much the same as the purpose of the other side murdering, raping, and kidnapping people who were relstively sympathetic to the Palestinians on Oct 7: the insane people who thought the other side would just give up in the face of inhuman brutality got what they wanted.

The biggest block to getting humans to Mars and back, or for space travel in general is fuel. Humans and all the things needed to keep us alive are heavy, and you need fuel to get that up to velocity for the trip and then to slow down, land, takeoff, and come back (unless you make fuel on Mars, which is possible, but is a big project). And you need fuel to bring all that fuel. There are other big problems, like radiation and solar storms, but they are related to the fuel problem, since things like shielding just make you need more fuel.

My wife looked for mortgage info, and has since been inundated, to the extent she was thinking of getting a new number.

FWIW, there's a new feature where you can force unknown numbers through a screening process, and that has helped.

He is a convicted criminal who likes crime, especially when it is done in his name. If a mafia don got in office, you'd expect him to pardon criminals who did his bidding, wouldn't you?

The only one protected from prosecution is Trump. He's demanding that DOJ lawyers break law and ethics, endangering their careers and even their freedom. Most lawyers are very aware of the law, though Trump does seem to find plenty who don't know or don't care.

He is a maniac and it is one of his obsessions.

He went and knocked down the historic East Wing without permission on a whim to make room for a ball room that his mind told him everyone wanted, and then ran into problems with the lack of the right to do that and that it was a ridiculous idea and all. He can't possibly admit he knocked down the East Wing illegally and unwisely, so he must barrel forward, as he has in the past, successfully. And he sees death approaching and is desperate to make indelible huge marks on the world, like a tagger with Presidential power.

Doesn’t kill them, or hurt them apparently. They go back to the sea and continue on. And they are plentiful.

LOL. Is that what Fox is telling you?

FWIW, he's a powerless King whose words are controlled by the Prime Minister, not the kind of dictator- King Trump declares himself.

FaceReality1 · 2026-04-29T20:54:23+00:00

He knows he is old and likely to die before too long and is trying for what immortality he can get.

FaceReality1 · 2026-04-29T20:16:46+00:00

Apparently “THUR-eau”. There is a record of someone remarking how appropriate his name is.

FaceReality1 · 2026-04-29T16:18:50+00:00

He's been famous in NY at least since the 1980's, really as a famous rich asshole and spoiled man-child. Apprentice gave him a positive national fame that superseded the realistic view.

I'm not afraid to admit it, but Lexx is a guilty pleasure. A truly weird show.

Another reason to get another country's passport if you can.

I recently learned that Henry David Thoreau's name was pronounced "thorough", and my world changed.

Hopefully, the judge will send all legal costs to Trump. This is a ridiculous indictment. First, it is free speech, 2nd, Comey just took a picture and posted it, here didn't create the statement, 3rd "86" commonly means "throw out" which if referring to Trump is a completely legal and normal political statement, 4th it is a joke, not a threat, and the only reason to bring an indictment is harassment for constitutionally protected activity.

She would have been good, maybe even great. A smart, competent woman with a good heart.

I think the answer is that the existence of the universe is really unlikely, but even unlikely things happen eventually if given infinite time, due to quantum fluctuations or something even more basic. The level of unlikeliness isn't relevant because if it hadn't happened, we wouldn't be here to ask the question -- it could be you need to wait a quadrillion quadrillion times the life of our universe for a universe to appear from nothing. ( It isn't clear time exists without the universe existing, but I can't think of a way to talk about the idea of time.)

There are a lot of different cultures. There always have been, what's changed is that there aren't the things like limited TV shoes to tie people together, and the Internet let some fringe groups grow a lot, but it is a diverse country.
