- One of the most prominent and disturbing elements of Donald Trump's character (or lack thereof) is his tendency to embrace the language and behavior of mafia dons. He regards himself as an ...46 comments 100 Recs
- While I’ve been a regular visitor here for some years, I rarely post or comment. After all, who other than me really cares what I think? That said, here’s what I think: Like the headline says, I am a Ford Motor Company retiree. I worked there for 25...403 comments 411 Recs
- This was shared by a retired public radio host. (I won’t say who, but if she wants to come forward and claim her laurels, all the better.) The graphic itself was created by Gary Huck. (Give him some loves.) It’s effing brilliant: If NPR doesn’t steal...65 comments 239 Recs
- April 2002 was a time I can't erase from my memory. I experienced pain coming in waves. I had tears in my eyes. I called an OB/GYN in my network. I traveled to his office. I had an ultrasound done. I had tests done. I had to call off work that day. I...17 comments 37 Recs

- It’s no secret that Donald Trump hates media outlets that challenge him and his administration. In the past, he’s singled out The Washington Post and CNN, corruptly using his office to try to punish them and their parent companies. Now he appears to be...91 comments 153 Recs
- I don’t think many people can accuse me of being a Biden fan. When he says something stupid, I call him out on it. But sometimes he reminds me of just what a different league he is in compared to Donald J Trump. I was moved by two things he did last...111 comments 118 Recs

- Post 1980, the incumbent president has only lost once. While the economy is not working for a great many people like me, it superficially appears to be doing well. The electoral college by its very nature favors the republican presidential candidate....10 comments 4 Recs

- The Trump impeachment trial is your chance to show what you truly stand for. It is a rare opportunity, considering just three impeachment trials in the history of our Republic. I doubt there is anyone among you, perhaps a few, who believe Trump is a...2 comments 2 Recs
