    Influence peddling or just flat out bribing a judge?  Seems more the latter.

    Yeah.  All those cautious impulsives out there are tearing things up.   Makes sense.

    Oh, taxes are going up. No doubt.

    but not on the middle class. Never.

    I see it the same way, but there is no room for grace and understanding these days.  It’s all about fomenting outrage.

    Funny thing is he could have headed to DC and done nothing and nobody would have been bothered.

    I’m impressed he flies commercial.

    The constitution is offensive to ignorant people.

    Careful. All the “weather isn’t climate” people who are in on the grift will soon be saying “see, we reduce greenhouse gasses via a pandemic and suddenly we have winter again.”

    The science can’t be wrong. Literally, it works to their advantage no matter what happens. 🙂

    oh, and since we haven’t addressed this lately, I’m no climate change denier.  I am a skeptic as to how much of a role humans play, and as to how much of a role the u.s. plays in particular.  I view it as one more wedge issue for the pols to dine out on.

    Am I just not old enough to see Kellyanne as “very attractive?”

    in reply to: the prevalence of the over-the-top woke apology #4299

    I gotta tell you, I almost missed this link, and the article is pretty doggone brilliant.

    The reality of the current political climate is that saying the wrong thing, even years ago, can endanger not only your reputation, but also your career and any future prospects.  THAT’S the reason for the “deeply sorry” kinds of apologies.  You might “never work in this town again” when it comes to some industries.

    And that’s the reason they ring so hollow.

    The formula laid out in this article is probably the exact formula put together by some crisis communications consultant 10 years ago in response to the first major offenses in the current cancel culture.

    The funny thing about the people extracting these apologies is that they always focus on the lack of empathy of the “privileged” offending party.  In destroying livelihoods and careers they betray the ultimate lack of empathy.

    I was a way for a few days, and am so glad to hear Rocky seems to be on the road to recovery.  Please keep the updates coming for those of us who may not be in the network beyond this site.

    It’s all a farce at this point.  Pretty shocking that the prosecution would make such a move, but not overall surprising.
