@wdlindsy A New York Times article says in a 17 year Congressional career, not one bill Jim Jordan has proposed became a law.

"I think the big story of the last American decade has been the attack on institutions, and the failure of those institutions to repel the attackers. But that story is driven by a key institutional actor - the Republican Party - injecting people who openly despise those institutions into positions of leadership. Trump is the most obvious example. But every Trump needs his Jim Jordans."

@realTuckFrumper Two people on MSNBC this morning were pushing basically the argument by inference, that rising anti-semitism around the world should give Israel carte blanch in Gaza.
I stand with Jews right to exist and have happy lives but if you want to live surrounded by people who hate you due to the circumstances of the creation of Israel that’s your choice. And it’s not helped when you wholesale oppress Palestinians for your security and think it’s justified.

@JDS Don’t you know that Democrats are to be blamed for everything screwing up the corrupt #GOzP agenda, outing us, making us look bad, looking like a much better alternative in comparison, looking more intelligent, acting like adults, messing up our break the rules, might makes right, cheat to win agenda, and supporting the Constitution, how old fashioned. 🤡 <-GOP.

My question would be. "So you're saying if Nancy Pelosi had been deposed in the same manner, you ard saying 5 Republicans would come to her rescue?"
It's the democrats fault when guys like him leave a wet spot on their pants after urinating.
@jon This is the sad fact that Capitalist Corporations always in search of max profits and satisfied investors will pass any employee income gains onto the consumer arguably at a greater magnitude than the pay raises themselves. That’s why today I paid $6 for a fast food burger, not a meal for lunch. 🤔
@xankarn Sing him a song: 🎹Luna-tic, Luna-tic, Luna Luna Luna, Luna-tic, Lun-a, a Lunatic, worse than that you’re a big, old, smelly, fat, sociopathic, narcissistic, prickkkk. 🎹

How to talk to #Trump. Free debate tip. The beauty of this one is that it works for basically every statement he makes.
“Part of me thinks you’re pathetic or possibly just sick and unable manage the affairs of our country. But, then again, if I were facing 91 criminal indictments in three jurisdictions, I might be fighting against reality, too. So it makes sense that you’re too weak now to speak honestly to your fellow citizens.“

@GuerillaGrue My Nostromo has no number pad. 😀

@Huntn00 I had a Nostromo for a little while, about 13 years ago. I thought it was neat... but I honestly found it if anything harder to get used to than just using a regular keyboard.
Part of that, though, is that even in games I've played for years I regularly double-check my visual reference on what buttons are what (controller or keyboard,) which is a LOT harder to do with the Nostromo since the names on the buttons =/= anything the game will tell you they are.
Also, the thumb pad was odd.
@GuerillaGrue Muscle memory after a short while keys are memorized. For the 12 button gaming mouse, I have a cheat sheet, but even then after a while muscle memory takes over. :)
@jimbush @the_etrain Thankfully you are not Spooky Jim from The House. 😉 sorry, I’m not sure what triggered this comment. 🤡
@GuerillaGrue Keyboard is inadequate if the keys can’t be reprogrammed. In some cases/games, they can be especially if using a gaming device such as Razer Nostromo my preferred input. I also use a Razer gaming mouse with 12 buttons on the side. Keep in mind I am old school, Controllers suck for accuracy and lack the number of inputs that my setup has. Usually if flying a plane, go with a joystick, but Starfield’s mouse steering works quite well in ship to ship combat.

Now... personally? I'm a full-size keyboard kinda person, and a big part of the reason for that is that I like playing older computer games, and a lot of them VERY MUCH benefit from availability of the keypad. Sure, a lot of keypad-less options have ways to simulate the function... but it isn't the same, and always feels awkward to me.
I'd be interested in knowing if other folks like or dislike the pad, though, because more and more I see 10-keyless keyboards pushed hard, and I don't get it. /1
