Was going to have a relaxing Sunday. Now realize I haven’t even finished editing my Behold, My Views! presentation for my kids this evening.

Nailed it ….

I had to stop listening since he refuses to shut the fuck up about covid/fauci/vaccines while scratching his nuts from the safety of several acres of Austin land. It irks me to no end as the husband of an ICU nurse who worked ground fucking zero in the worst conditions imaginable. Patients lining the hallway floors bc rooms were over capacity. My wife hauling bodies daily down to the morgue. Her having to "disinfect" herself outside before she could ever step inside her home. Being fearful of hugging and kissing your own children after dealing with death and sickness. His shtick doesn't play well with me, and this comes from someone who used to listen religiously precovid. I even went to see him live at the American Airlines Center in Dallas back in 2018 and had a hell of a time. His steady decline to right wing conspiracy and refusal have on anyone who might challenge his line of thinking makes it impossible to listen. Probably why he hasn't had Bill Burr on in years, because he absolutely eviscerated Joe's idiot mentality last time he was on.

` You're a fucking savage, and I expect you to shit your pants on the regular. We have a bottle of Heinz ketchup around, and it says "refrigerate after opening" We also keep mustard. The cheap grocery-yellow stuff, and "Bijan" brand. Both say to refrigerate after opening. As to BBQ sauce, I have a bottle of Stubbs Original. It also says to refrigerate after opening, but in a different manner..."stick in the fridge" or some such. Soy sauce also says "refrigerate after opening". Hot sauce? I've got a bottle of Trader Joe's Sriracha, which says "refrigerate after opening" as well as their green sauce which says the same. Maple Syrup? We've got a jug of "Kirkland" from Costco, which says "REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE MORON". Your DIL is infinitely smarter than you. You're lucky your son found a woman that's not an idiot, because your son was raised by fucking raccoons.

Harris for President is launching Republicans for Harris — and rolling out endorsements from prominent GOP voices across the country, including: * Ex-Trump admin officials Stephanie Grisham and Olivia Troye * Former Secretaries Chuck Hagel and Ray LaHood * Former Governors Jim Edgar, Bill Weld, and Christine Todd Whitman * Former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan * Ex-members of Congress Rod Chandler, Tom Coleman, Dave Emery, Wayne Gilchrest, Jim Greenwood, Adam Kinzinger, John LeBoutillier, Susan Molinari, Jack Quinn, Denver Riggleman, Claudine Schneider, Christopher Shays, Peter Smith, Alan Steelman, David Trott, and Joe Walsh * Mesa Arizona Mayor John Giles

Ukraine took home the country’s first gold medal of the Paris Olympics on Saturday with a win from the women’s saber fencing team, providing a moment of catharsis during an emotional Games. South Korea took home silver and Japan won bronze in the competition. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky celebrated the win with a post on social media. “I thank them for the result, for the spirit, for showing that Ukrainians win!” Zelensky wrote on X. “We cheer for our athletes and support them as a nation. Ukraine knows how to inspire both at the Olympic Games and times like these!” Some background: Ukraine sent a team of more than 100 athletes to Paris, and — though that’s fewer than the country had in Tokyo three years ago — their participation will likely feel more significant. Ukrainian athletes competing at the games have endured a myriad of challenges since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of the country, including their athletic facilities being destroyed, friends and relatives being killed, and uncertainty about what the future might hold for their nation. According to Ukraine’s Sports Ministry, about 3,000 athletes – from Olympic and non-Olympic sports – have served for the country’s military, either voluntarily or by being drafted, and 479 have been killed while serving or in civilian life. https://unn.ua/en/news/ukraines-womens-sabre-fencing-team-wins-gold-at-the-2024-olympic-games-in-paris

Tell them you can vote yourself into authoritarianism - or let others do it for you - but you have a to shoot your way out.

I saw a new one I hadn’t heard before yesterday: Tangerine Palpatine.

Agree to disagree

Oh…so you support people shredding the roof of their mouth till it’s bloody? Asshole. Gonna make me vote for RFK’s brainworm! Yeah…so, I understand why so many of yall are trying to find a way to rationalize reaching out to and connecting with Trump voters. They are family members, they’ve been friends. It’s hard. But by now, after nearly 10 years of this shit…it’s over. They’re trash people. All of them. Yes, all of them. They know. They know he’s horrible. They know he wants to be an authoritarian dictator and end democracy. They know that he sides with our enemies (Putin etc) over our allies. They know he’s pointlessly cruel. They know he’s misogynist. They know he’s racist - yes, even the idiot black and Hispanic voters who support him know. They are trash. They are poison. They cannot be saved and brought back into the fold - can one or two, here and there, see the light? Sure…but it’s a statistically insignificant number. Give up on them, and do what any body does with diseased parts: isolate them, encapsulate them, and kick them out to the extent possible. Fuck your asshole uncle. Don’t avoid him at thanksgiving: exclude him from thanksgiving. Cut him out of your life. He deserves it. And you deserve better than to waste another second of your life trying to convince a total piece of shit not to be a total piece of shit. I’m done with them. And you should be too.

Heh

H-backs have names like Juan whereas flex TEs have names like Amari.

Elon’s PAC scam to harvest personal information disguised as registering to vote is under investigation by the state of Michigan

The bolded really, really pisses me off. Stupid bastards were going to throw away democracy as a protest. Fucking enraging.

Kamala should buy one and wear it to a rally

CBS last poll was Trump +5 over Biden

Am I understanding correctly that Trump has not said anything positive about the Americans who have been imprisoned being returned to the US and instead of congratulating the families he congratulated Putin? I'm convinced that anyone voting for trump is a deluded person. The only ones I've met and talked to are deep into conspiracy theories and resemble the people in all those interviews people do at Trump rallies there's something really wrong with people who can't identify or come to terms with a truth at odds with what they want.

Saw our close friends yesterday who are pretty far left supporters. They’ve been Democrats their whole life. They told me that when Biden dropped out and Harris stepped in, their two 20’s kids and their friends got wildly excited. Here’s the kicker. Until that happened they weren’t going to vote! They were so beaten down by old white man syndrome they had just given up. I think Harris is going to bring a lot of new young voters to the polls and that obviously spells bad news for Trumpanzees.

I mean, it's true.

In consecutive days, an American presidential candidate said he doesn’t like Bruce Springsteen but he likes Vlad Putin. And this shit is going to be close? We are truly lost

tanned, rested, and ready

Looks like Mark Kelly is out of the running.

Holy shit this is great.

The most succesful tack I've tried in those conversations is to a) Point out that it's fallacy to think of the United States as a major protagonist of events in the Palestine/Israel conflict. When I do this, they agree, and argue that what they really seek is disinvestment and the use of American soft power as leverage to curb Israeli policy, and will generally concede that Trump is unlikely to do that. Then I b) point out that as college students at an elite institution they are privileged to feel far less of an impact if Trump is elected. When I do this, they will reflexively argue that they will be impacted, drastically, in terms of civil rights, Democracy and the imact of climate change on themselves and their children. This usually leads to them grudgingly conceding that they will probably vote for Biden/Harris.

Another gold for the 'Horns.

Also on all these polls. There is still a long way to go but my spidey sense tells me that even as we draw close to election day the axiom "if she's even, she's leaving" applies. There is no way these polls are getting their arms around the now seemingly energized 18-34 year old generation. If they translate that energy to actually getting to the polls even at a modestly better clip than that generation's historical norms..

For VP? He’s dead, Jim.

Why is that surprising? Baylor has a long and storied history of letting predators loose on campus.

Trump : Putin :: Texas A&M : SEC

From Bobby: Will have more tomorrow. - Practice was under the lights inside DKR. - They pumped some music in and got the place loud. - Not full pads. Helmets and shoulder pads only. - A couple of turnovers, one pick thrown by Trey Owens in the flat and one by Arch Manning over the middle. - Silas Bolden and Ryan Wingo continue to receive rave reviews. A twisting catch by Wingo down the sideline was one of the night’s highlights. - Colin Simmons looked particularly good in some one on one pas rush work against Cam Williams. - Quinn Ewers and Manning both looked good overall. - I should have more for folks in the morning.
