From the title, I thought this was going to be about a new "eco-friendly" health drink approved and endorsed by the people pushing the Green New Deal.     [barf]

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I'm having a hard time understanding that guy's whatever-it-is accent.  Is it just my old ears, or what?  It's almost like he overcame a prior speech impediment, but not 100%.

English is his native language, Terry.  But Russian is also listed as his native language.  He was born in the USA, but I'm guessing from Russian émigré parents.  Perhaps he spoke mostly Russian in the home as a kid.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

OK, thanks.  Frankly, I'm starting to think I could use some hearing assistance after 60 yrs of sometimes unprotected gunfire.
