Hey JK., For those SP's here who are not over 100 years, Here is a good visual on what Sam & Adam are talking about;

There’s a useful distinction buried in the Goofus/Gallant joke:

Not everyone who is correct about the threat, is fit to be an instrument against it.

Movements get in trouble when they treat anger, courage, and public usefulness as interchangeable traits. They aren’t. Some people are valuable because they can say the thing nobody else will say. Some people are valuable because they can sit in a room for eight hours and not become the story. Yes, I miss Biden too — despite him not being a good US president, just one of the best ones.

The disaster is when we put the first person in the second job.

Opposition and leadership are separate skills.

Well said SHFJ.

Hey there S&A and all the SP’s out there,

‘It’s really a question of whether you believe the woman.’

I think that Robert Deniro’s quote sums up my feelings about this fucking Asshole skank….

‘Shut the fuck up’

Thank you for your attention.

Spot on, io. Yeah but if you even suggest having empathy for survivors, you're "sick" according to SouthpawDE.

I remember highlights. I can't believe Trump's response about Platner. Is the woman credible? He's such a slime ball. This is a horrible time to be an American. I'm sad about Bonnie Tyler too. I'm glad he had to pay E.Gene Carroll as well.

Hey SJ., I know you know better, same guy...'grab her by the pussy', 'piggy'. Until E. Gene has the money in her pocket I won't believe it. And when/if she does get it, she had better have some great security. These people are evil. And yes, it is a horrible time and an embarrassing time to be an American. But we are all here doing the best we can, so that's a good thing.

That's true. I'm furious that they are even trying to stiff her on what she's owed.

Hope fully sooner than later

And it was the Islamic Republic of Japan. Cmon guys. Trump is a fucking complete total moron and the MSM can go fuck themselves.

Goofus and Gallant are still around. My 7yo gets Highlights magazine every month. That's the first thing I look for.

On note 5. The call is coming from inside the house.

Loved Highlights!

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's name should be said every time we say Renee Good & Alex Pretti. I am sure there are others too. Unfortunately their names are getting lost in the insanity of ICE and Donald

We all have a bit of Goofus in us.

No shame.

Trump will be calling Platner to recruit him. He will have a job soon in Trump's circle of Felons and Jeffreys. Watch for it.

Right next to Fettermanchin.

16 Hoping she'll be ok, whatever that is. All the gross bastards doing dastardly things and sure, she didn't go to jail, but she also no longer has the job that she obviously cared about and won't be at to help people with her decency and compassion.

And I also loved the Highlights; made me wade into the cool waters over to memory lane.

I will take Goofus and Gallant any day over an entitled bro like Platner. Thanks for calling out the bullshit.
