@darrenvogtart Something compells me to create what I consider to be well-written, entertaining #comics. Those are hard to find, and I treasure them as a reader. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to be able to make my own, and it's a wonderful feeling when other #Readers enjoy my work.
@catturd2 Sen. John Thune has been working nonstop to be the Minority Leader ever since being elected Majority Leader.
Congratulations, Sen. Thune.
You're living proof that, with enough lack of effort, any American can achieve their dreams of downward mobility.
@Nerdrotics@ThomasConnorsJr Warner Bros. killed the DCU, which was already flailing by the time Gunn was put in charge.
Like Snyder, Gunn is a good director, but neither is a Kevin Fiege (Gunn especially).
The DCU has never had a decent showrunner.
IDK if anyone can unite a split fandom. We'll see.
@neanne_derthal I liked DeSantis. I think he's got the best resume out there. Voted for him in '15 in the primary and would again.
But I don't think he's got the TV presence to win the nod in '28 against Vance or Rubio. We'll see.
He should be part of any future cabinet if the GOP wins again.
@WatcherDamned No denial here. I never said Girl Stuff was bad. I think Boy Stuff tends to have a larger market precisely because girls are more willing, on the whole, to give it a try. The problem is trying to femenize Boy Stuff, which causes the boys to leave.
Reason No. 3 - The GOP-controlled Senate moved like a sloth on barbiturates for two years. Not passing the SAVE Act was (and is) suicidal negligence. I became an Independent years ago for exactly this type of foot-dragging B.S. OK. Self-indulgent venting over. Back to work.๐
Here's my take on the midterms: Donald Trump lost the midterms for the GOP, and the GOP didn't help itself -- at all.
See the comments for the main reasons:
Reason No. 2 - Trump didn't understand the impact inflation has on ordinary families, and he didn't (or is simply unable to) express sympathy.
Instead, he talked about "how great the economy is." (Biden also did this.)
Yes, inflation slowed, but prices are still insanely high.
Reason No. 1: Going back on his word.
Trump got a lot of Independent support in '24 by promising "No more forever wars." Then he stumbled directly into the current mess with Iran.
And it kept going...and going...and going.
He may have had good reasons.
But he broke his word.
@catturd2 Texas was blue for decades before it went ruby red. Now it's back to blue.
If you don't like it, just wait. Democrats will manage to !@$% up. The Republicans who follow them will, too.
@LauraLoomer@realDonaldTrump May your happiest days be ahead of you, may you compound that happiness with daily gratitude, and may it endure through the ups and downs of the world around you until, many years hence, you simply cannot believe how rich in both you've become. God bless.
@LauraLoomer@LauraLoomer, your views on God are in direct proportion to your hopelessness.
There is a God. He loves you. You should get to know Him.
You can't really understand American history without understanding Christianity.
America isn't over.
Charlie would tell you the same thing.
@SinyGuy I feel the same way, but man...
You're tilting at junk mail.
Any endeavor, big or small, attracts gadflies. You've just got to ignore the buzzing and flick'em away one by one.
@ChrisTwiggsPM So, you weren't savvy enough to institute smaller rent hikes over the past four years to keep up with expenses, and now you're surprised your tenants are cheesed off because you're making up for your own budget neglect with a larger hike?
You're a dumbass.
