    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Is anybody actually dumb enough to go along with this?

      Anybody that actually pays taxes, that is.

      I was only joking

        This evening, I saw a talking head claiming that the Democrats are pushing for a Social Security COLA and the GOP is opposing that.

        Well, no. It's a matter of law that SS benefits are adjusted for inflation, and neither party has anything to say about it.

        And the host of the program was silent.

          Well, OK. It's not quite up there with "100% of the city of Birmingham is Muslim", but still, pretty bad.

            Up a whole 7%? Wow. Sounds a lot like heads they win, tails you lose.

              To be perfectly honest, I couldn't give a shit about what inflation does to people earning 700 grand a year. They have to sell their second yacht to scrape by? Give up Frappuccino's?

              I know, I know, I'm so selfish.

                Why it's almost as though they all got their information from the same source on the same day.

                  Do they just do a group email with the Dem talking points or is it little more subtle? ๐Ÿ˜„
