You can’t call yourself ‘mister’ and not see it.

From ‘Enter The Dragon.’
“We are men who have forged ourselves in the fires of our own will.”
1·2 days agoPersonally I like Mamdani. I voted for him.
That said, he was incredibly lucky to get elected. Incumbent Mayor Adams got caught in a massive scandal, and Andrew Cuomo was tainted by another scandal.
Even with that, he barely won, with 51% of the vote. Kamala Harris got 65%.
16·3 days agoThe funny thing about ‘Both Sides Are The Same’ is that it’s a line the GOP always spews after they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
“You’re going to get a lot more votes with a handsome couple than you will with a million well researched position papers.” That’s the end of my first comment.
“A lot of people vote for pretty faces. Many, many more than vote for policy.” That’s the end of my second comment.
What confused you?
He killed a million people in Covid and they re-elected him.
No.
Think of it this way. Look at all the GOPs who have swung Far Right after Trump won. Plenty of folks who pooh-poohed him in 2015 are all for him when they saw he was winning elections.
Heck, the GOP has been ‘The Party of Lincoln’ since 1865, no matter what changes they’ve made in actual policy.
A lot of people vote for pretty faces. Many, many more than vote for policy.
You’ve got it backwards.
People seeing Mamdani as the face of Progressivism is a good thing.
Most people are idiots, and vote for stupid reasons. Donald Trump, born a millionaire, managed to convince people he was ‘anti-establishment.’
You’re going to get a lot more votes with a handsome couple than you will with a million well researched position papers.
History lesson.
Fiorello LaGuardia ran on a Fusion ticket that included Socialists, Communists, and Republicans.
Billionaire Mike Bloomberg championed congestion pricing.
11·3 days agoRealistically, if you eat out of trash cans you’ll have the same experience, and if you’re quiet and neat, no one will report you.
No one is forcing you to brush your teeth.
Popular misconception.
There were a lot of people who never made it out of childhood, which skews the average down.
But if you made it to adulthood, you had a pretty good chance of making it to 65 or so.
1·3 days agoWatch “Spider-Man- No Way Home”
Three different versions of the same guy show up.
That’s the basic idea.
Remember, right now it’s science fiction/fantasy
Like the link points out, we were drinking before we had written language.
It’s a matter of dealing with life on life’s terms. The reality is that people like drinking. Sometimes people drink too much, and a few unlucky folks can’t drink anything without risking death.
I ocne read a story about a Vietnam era war correspondent. He was a pacifist before going to cover combat and seeing combat up close made him hate war even more.
At one point a publisher asks him to contribute an article that ‘deglamorizes war.’
He wrote back that deglamorizing war would be as easy as deglamorizing sex.
54·3 days agoWhat amazes me is that anyone would think that Jared and Ivanka would be great spokespeople for this idea.
On the other hand, why do you think we gave up the hunter/gatherer life style?
Cultivating grapes for wine and grain for beer was the origin of civilization!
So, either Fauci was a terrible doctor and Trump was a giant idiot to keep him in place
OR
Fauci was good at his job, and Trump is a backstabber who turned on him.
Either way, it seems like Trump is the one who is terrible at his job.
614·3 days agoIt’s like there was one Steve Jobs and when he died none of them could come up with an actual product or idea.
Since it’s completely theoretical at this point, anyone can say anything.
To put it another way, last century there were all kinds of books about life on Mars. Today we can talk about ‘the multiverse’ or ‘different dimensions’ the same way.
The generally accepted concept is that there are an infinite number of universes, and that every time someone makes a decision a new ‘timeline’ emerges. In one world you ate strawberry ice cream, in the next chocolate, in the next you skipped dessert…
It’s a fun idea for science fiction authors and theoretical physicists, but no one has proven it’s real.
Let’s take it as absolutely true.
That means that the Commander-In-Chief is unable to get accurate reports from the front lines.
Which means he is incompetent to do his job, and should resign.
