Health Care Torches, Pitchforks, and Bullets There haven't been a lot of expressions of sympathy for the murder victim on social media. - from either the left or the right.

Trump if Ken Burns did a Trump Documentary “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Election Angry America Republicans get votes during strong economies because “voters are more willing to take risks and therefore more likely to elect Republicans, who favor lower taxes.” Americans believe the myth that Republicans are better for jobs, economy, and taxes and Democrats are big spenders and bigger taxers.
Election Surprise! and Welcome Trump 2.0! It was awful, and as all of our progressive friends are wringing their hands and rightfully telling us, 'it's gonna get awfuller.'
Election America, You Amaze Me Sometimes When the phrase "Hobson's Choice" doesn't begin to cover it.
Election' TX Outlaw Writers: We Endorse... Shouldn't The Outlaws take a principled stand and endorse a candidate? We're not the type to sell out! I mean, we're willing to hear an offer, but you can count on us to do the right thing! (How much did you say again?)
Election Too Little, Too Late to Change This The inflation that occurred during and after the pandemic when supply chains imploded, hasn't completely come down. Since supply is not the issue, one might reasonably ask, why? And more importantly, what can Trump or Harris do about it?
Trump the girlfriend rule Which of your friends has gone to the Dark Side, politically speaking? Use the same observational skills you used when trying to get a deeper understanding of that attractive date you brought to meet your pals.
Trump Another Week in Political Paradise "To anyone new to this country trying to figure out our political decision-making practices, I simply want to apologize. It didn't used to be this way."
Election Donny is Done The most confounding element of this election is the ability of the MAGAts to listen to Trump speak and still consider giving him their vote. His speeches are filled with his strange non-sequiturs and speech pathologies that would have him sent to a rest home by most families.
Election Don't Argue! I Know What I Know! "Why are so many of us impervious to actual facts? Why do we simply take someone's word for anything, particularly when shown they are wrong? By wrong, I mean lying."
Trump Little Johnny's Sex Change "Out of all the senile rantings the Republican presidential candidate spouts off, the 'trans surgery at schools' trope clearly establishes his disconnect from reality and the psychotic break he has undergone."
Election They're Eating the Windows! They're Eating the Gas Stoves! "This is the time that candidates go all out and throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. But there is a difference between a Hail Mary and just projectile vomiting random dreck like a sick freshman at a fraternity kegger. So, why do people believe this claptrap?"
Election' A Culture of Cowardice I thought about a conversation I had with him on an airplane once because of the recent speculation that George W. Bush might endorse Kamala Harris. Sure, there is a non-zero chance of that happening, but I suggest you place your bets elsewhere.
Guns Cemetery America "We avert our eyes from the cause and nod sadly at the effect, but take no steps to prescribe a solution. The culture of the gun in the U.S. has lost no battles in the modern era. Our politics keep fertilizing the bloody fields with fewer and fewer controls."
Trump Useful Idiots Yeah, it's Russia, Russia, Russia again. That's only because it is. It's as though Reagan said, "Mr. Gorbachev, do whatever the hell you want with this wall."
Election Death Branding and Other Cons "It is all marketing and brand because the reason people choose things 98 percent of the time is not rational. It’s emotional."
Election The Campaign We Deserve? There are so many issues to confront - domestic and foreign. Inflation is down to 2.5% and will come down more when the Fed cuts interest rates in the Fall. I just filled up at $2.69 a gallon. GDP grew at 3% this past month. Border arrests are at a 4 year low. Campaign on that, for heaven's sake!
Trump Lying All Along the Line "Trump often looked constipated or maybe he was grimacing at the memories of how he had been diminished to a punch line by speakers in Chicago. He was cuddling up next to his favorite issue, snuggled there with his lies about how he had built 400 miles of wall on the border."
Religion Boxing with God "Tonight at 7:00 p.m., Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick will join Matt Crouch, Chairman of Trinity Broadcasting Network, and Dr. Phil for a thought-provoking discussion: whether President Trump’s survival of the recent assassination attempt was a mere stroke of luck or divine intervention."
Election Vote For Me! Here's Some Stuff! "The Milwaukee excitement was as artificially pumped up as Hulk Hogan's biceps or Kimberly Guilfoyle's lips. I expect no less in Chicago, only with more tofu."
