They owe the U.S. an apology and should be shunned.

although the temptation to say "I told you so" may be too great to overcome

the possibility that Carville is "pussy-whipped" by his GOP operative wife
is not beyond the bounds of imagination.... I still recall something about his betrayal of John Kerry
in the aftermath of the 2004 election...

(and, he's pretty old by now--- doesn't take much whipping)...

Sit down in your damned rocker on the porch, James, and
JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!

You seem to be saying that the worth of a woman is solely related to whether or not she offers up her 'nookie'/or withholds it to her man.

Maybe his wife alerted him to the fact that he ain’t getting no nookie unless he says crap like that.

Certain words/phrases seem to bother people around these parts a lot more than they do me, unless they are directed toward a white male (which I am), then all bets are off.

Could have been for Democrats or Republicans, just turned out to be Democrats.

Then he came up with a tagline that made him famous: "It's the economy, stupid." Somehow, that one brilliant insight, that the economy is important, branded him as a go to guy for strategy. He's been milking that ever since.

pay less attention.... so it seems

The peacefulness of the Biden years,
made them forget the chaos of the Trump years----

so they were reduced to complaining about the cost of eggs
and the price of a bag of Doritos....


Well, those people are being educated, now...

and President Joe Biden will be judged MUCH more favorably by history,
than by those voters who did or did not show up in Nov. 2024

I miss Biden so much, I start to cry just thinking how life would be had he stayed in power. I am 95 and do not believe he was not capable of being President for another term. Not as he was but still capable.

We didn't vote for convicted criminal.

We didn't eat the bullshit he was selling like candy.

We didn't put on silly outfits and join a cult.

We didn't believe the lies.

We were not the ones driven by hatred and racism.

What should we apologize for??
