Stretching a lead is a sports term. Most commonly in racing. Sports metaphors are common in politics.

One of the differences between the right and the left, you just made me realize, is how we treat heroes.

Kyle murders two protestors and he's a hero. He can fuck it up, but that's all it takes to get there.

If a left leaning person became a hero for rescuing cats out of a house fire, you'd have a hundred reporters digging up dirt about how he cuts in line at Starbucks, or an ex coworker thought his obsession with cute animal butts was a little creepy.

I'm minimizing. People who do good things sometimes have done real shit but I don't want to sidetrack. Point is, the right elevates their heroes while the left humanizes them. It's not just a different playing field, it's a whole other sport.

I deleted 148 mostly political spam emails that I got from Saturday to Tuesday. I'm glad to have donated a few bucks, but fucking Christ. I hear from a dozen people daily (or more) plus "guest solicitors" like half of Hollywood.

Medium length blonde? That's all I've got.

Completely agree.

Yeah, you are rocking this hairstyle.

It's great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.

You're a vision. Thank you for sharing.

I tried to screenshot it for you but I was too slow. You get a little green toast that says thanks. I just hope it mostly goes to the dev. I'd rather give through Apple Cash or Ko-fi if half of what I donated just went to Apple or someone.

Who would do such a thing??

You think he could finish a couch? I think it would eventually fake it, tell him what a good boy he was, and then roll over and let him sleep in the wet spot.

As one ought.
