By Coping Mechanism do you mean NOT COPING? A coping mechanism would be getting a second job to pay for medical needs, or changing lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep) to minimize negative medical outcomes if this is related to influencable body chemistry or composition. Splurging is not coping. Splurging, bingeing, shooting up, toking, etc is the deferment of coping.

“Your question is incredibly dangerous." You have engaged in wrongthink so bad as to border crimethink. Mr Doocy, you may be referred for re-education unless you rethink your dangerosity.

Probably because she can't finger paint like Hunter B. She has to ghostwrite more memoirs because she has no other talent.

\ The Democratcy Ambassador (i.e. the STAZI snitch on your neighbor who thinks unapproved thoughts) page from the despicable Michigan Secretary of State is beclowning her own organization with pictures of patriots displaying the American flag in an, um, unAmerican manner. Probably just pathetic ignorance rather than willful disrespect but unfortunate nevertheless.

Whoa. Talk about wetbacks!

Valid question leading to the follow up: How did the SS and local law enforcement not know where an assassin might be? If Trump plays there 90% of the time then the SS and local law enforcement probably have Standard Golf Protection Protocol Alpha to be employed. And they have been wrong 100% of the time in the past by not securing this area. Or, did they change the protocols recently? In any case, SS failed AGAIN.

The only relationship between taxes and deficit and debt is a positive one. I mean "positive" in the mathematical correlation sense and not in the sense of "a good thing". The government collects more tax revenue than it ever has before yet the deficit/debt is accelerating. Therefore, until those in charge behave as if deficits, inflation, etc. matter by passing only balanced budgets then I don't care about it either. Arguing about whether 1 trillion or 1.2 trillion annual deficit is "more ethical" is ludicrous and I will not engage with those "eminent Econ 101 geniuses" stating that it does. If the budget is balanced then I am completely comfortable with paying my fair share of the federal taxes - about 1/330,000.000 of the total amount required. But the government has broken faith and now the only rational response is to keep as much as my own money as I can and to keep supporting whomever wants to let me keep it the easiest. This is a form of game theory. If you know the other side is playing by different rules then the only rational response for survival is to modify your behavior first. Econ 101 has nothing to do with it, obviously. This is a matter of human nature, power politics, and control. So, First - Balanced budget, Fed Government revenue capped at 15% of GDP, 0% inflation target. THEN we can talk about whom to tax and how to tax them to secure the necessary revenue. But you leftie econ geniuses who think "give the government the money and shut up" is a valid economic theory should tender a proposal. So, if we aren't talking about economics but about electoral politics two strategies are emerging: One side is trying to give people others people's money via housing credits, loan forgiveness, etc (i.e. raising gov spending). The other side is proposing to let you keep more of your own money via targeted tax relief (i.e. lowering gov revenue). Both are playing con games that don't matter until we have . . . wait for it . . . Balanced budget, Fed Government revenue capped at 15% of GDP, 0% inflation target.

Until the leadership sets the inflation target at 0% and we add an amendment to the Constitution which removes the authority of the Congress from passing legislation containing a deficit or from passing legislation planning to spend more than 15% of GDP - except in a single year of emergency declared by a supermajority in congress and which cannot be declared by an executive branch office holder - then there is no purpose in even talking about the deficit/debt. Therefore, cut taxes to the bone because there is no relationship between how much I pay and how big the deficit is. In fact, the more I pay the bigger the deficit and debt become. So cut my taxes and keep cutting them until spending is blocked by higher authority (the Constitution).

I am wrong. He is pro Democratcy. One small spelling error. One huge error in actual meaning with respect to freedom, liberty, American values, etc.

BASELESS claim that he was a shooter. Don't be reckless. We don't even know if he even was an Aimer or Pointer. At this point there is NO EVIDENCE he even touched that weapon. No court has convicted him of anything. So, I think the only unreckless thing you can say is "The person associated with the gun is pro Ukrainian. And pro Democracy, natch."

Harris will post his bail. She was a big fan of BLM rioteers and getting them back on the street as soon as possible. Let's see what this famed law and order prosecutor from the notably tough on crime San Francisco area can do to help this unfortunate wretch who was just trying to feed his family.

So much so to appear even untethered to any burden of speaking coherently, logically, or with any relationship to reality.

Reckless presumptions on your part. Jumping to conclusions. Here's a plausible unreckless take for our brethren spreadsheet experts: This guy was probably setting up his deer blind for the upcoming famous West Palm Beach Rut that happens the 3rd week of every September on that exact hole of the golf course. The secret service recklessly concluded something similar to what you concluded and violated this man's hunting rights. Sheesh, dude. Your recklessness and jumping to conclusions is slowing down the FBI and SS from finding out what happened in Pennsylvania. They certainly don't need non-experts like you getting all chesty and jumping to BASELESS conclusions with NO EVIDENCE of assassination attempts. No court in any state has concluded that any assassination attempt has taken place nor ever convicted any felons so just back off. There is only 1 felon associated with this alleged attempt and his mere existence threatens democracy. Therefore please let the people trying to prevent citizens from voting for him conclude their work in the name of democracy.

A liberal's view of investing = taking money that is not theirs and giving to people who did not earn it (i.e. expensing it and not actually INVESTING it to build assets which create money/value). Investing means building roads, ports, etc. The Kam-eleon wants to "invest" in ambitions. I think my hippy aunt still has dream catchers for sale that we can rebrand as aspiration accumulators and sell to Kammy for a tidy little ambitious profits.

I write this as a legitimate question: There are known actual cases of babies surviving an abortion attempt, being born, but not leaving the room alive. Are there an equal number of people (actually 2 or 3 times the number of dead babies because at least 2 and maybe more people were in on the illegal death) in jail for it? Of course, the actual reported number is probably very much lower than the actual occurrence due to the conspirators having every incentive not to report it. Did that monster from Philadelphia several years ago (Gondell?) go to jail for killing babies after they were born? Or for some other crime? I did find this bit of data: "Importantly, even with only 10 states having ever required reporting, there are 277 known cases of infants born alive following an abortion."

And Donna Brazile. Isn't it crazy when the Dems actual behavior is more reprehensible than even the conspiracy theorists can conjur?

I hear the Springfield families have invited Trump to a memorial with them in the pet cemetery. No cameras allowed.

She says that because she loves you. She tells me something different.

Once a society/culture/ethnicity convinces its girls that being a mother is not the most important and precious thing in the world then it is lost. We often talk about rights and freedom. But responsibility is a thing. And choosing not to have children is to choose to abdicate the responsibility to provide a stable and sustainable culture. Outsourcing procreation is to commit societal/cultural/ethnic suicide. There are some small minority groups of Western-Culture based people get the mix of rights and responsibilities right. However, Isrealis and religious Westerners (the only groups currently reproducing at or above replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman) are not sufficient in number to maintain a birthrate sufficient to perpetuate Western culture.

W'Rasta - your points are interesting. However, I see things slightly differently. Trump has never enjoyed the full weight of the Republican party. The Never Trumpers on the right in 2016 and 2020 were loud and proud. If conservative voters are aware enough to even know of nearly invisible bureaucrats about presidential fitness I think they are more likely to stay home or write in Mickey Mouse than vote for the most leftist candidate in history. I think the number of stay-at-homes / 3rd party voters on the right will be quite a bit fewer than the following who will move to Trump: marginal rates of BIPOCs moving to Trump marginal rates of single women who resent men in their bathroom marginal rates of soccer moms who now have to buy generic Mac'n'Cheese rather than Kraft Deluxe marginal rates of young single men (historically a very low voter turnout) who are sick of being told about all their privilege I know we are talking about popular vote over/under prognostications so, without doing actual population growth models and forecasts (I leave that to our esteemed colleague and noted swimming expert, WrestleKnowNothing) I stand by my seat of the pants call: Trump - 80 million votes: Harris - loses if 86 million and wins if 87 million. However, to veer a bit to an electoral college analysis: Many of these individuals live in urban/suburban areas so they have an exaggerated effect in swing states. If they simply lower the margin of victory of Harris in 5 or 6 counties (those containing Milwaukee, Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Las Vegas, etc). Just like last time: It all comes down to when the polling station counts are suspended on election night, what the Trump lead is, and if the reserve ballots can be counted to get her over the top in these cities. Now, what is your call for the number of votes Harris needs to win?

Birth more Koreans.

I don't think Trump will get 86 million. Trump got 63+ million in 2016 and 73+ million in 2020. Just by population aging factors (older Americans are more conservative) I suspect that about 80 million Trump votes is not unreasonable. My point, however, is that in order for Kam-eleon to win the swing states to get an electoral college victory the Dems will have to produce about 87 million ballots with her name marked. I guess they can produce fewer if they double count 'em like last time. So, the pool bet I am proposing is the number of ballots the Dems will need to be able to COUNT marked for Harris to defeat Trump. I think the over/under is 87 million.

Hmmm. Further "no evidence" of democrats (Dallas is all dem now) committing election fraud.

Biden got 81 million ballots (maybe, unless we remove the double tallied ballots). He got no where near 81 million individual American citizens who cast a vote for him. There is MASSIVE evidence that this happened all over the country. No need to be an election denier to accept this fact. Let's see how much MORE popular than Biden and Obama the Kam-eleon is. What is her over/under for ballot count. I think the Dems will need to generate 87 million ballots marked for Kam to overcome Trump's actual votes. Shall we start a betting pool on this?

Hamas - the government of the Palestinians which invaded another country and took Americans as hostages - is still solely responsible for every death in Gaza. I am not surprised that Israel is pursuing release of its hostages and the exterrmination of Hamas. I am aghast that America is not going after Hamas also for their war crimes. Just like the Ayatolla and his friends had their "come to Jesus moment" (see what I did there, clever) as Reagan was inaugurated in 1981 with the hostages Iran took does anyone think that Hamas' might get an attitude adjustment if Trump is about to be Inaugurated again in January?
