Assuming you're referencing Goodfellas or perhaps Casino with this comment, but if you think either movie glorified gangsters or organized crime you're a fucking idiot.

Well, her mom can't continue to grift cash off of the dead & dried up bones of her traitor daughter unless she continues to try & pull stunts like this so....

Bill Walton's a prime example of how to get the most out of your time on this earth. Talk about a life well lived.

Talk is Cheap is a fucking MONSTER. Didn't Charlie Watts reportedly say that it was the Stones album they'd been failing to make for over a decade when he first heard it? But it's clear that Keith could only make that album without Mick. Had it been a typical Glimmer Twins production it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as Keef wouldn't have worked as hard and Mick likely would have tried to sweeten it up and make it more pop radio friendly. In the end we're just lucky to have gotten it.

The judges would have also accepted "typical Republican."

You sure 'bout that, chief? Looks like she's already shit herself.

Norris wore out his tires during the chase it seems.

Is she eyeballing new burial ground for her newest pets?

Welp, we now know what Trump's "out" is going to be for skipping the debates. He was stumping in MN yesterday and claims he's going to demand a "drug test" before the debates, implying that Biden will be juicing. Every accusation is a confession, blah blah blah.

Stuck on the northbound metrorail at Howard Lane. Signals are down plus high winds. Reason #1 why you always take a leak before getting on the train.

Migrants will be mowed down at the border & the gunman will receive a full pardon by Abbott.

Of course. Because Abbott and the christofascists running the GQP in Texas want more deaths. More unrest & bloodied bodies in the streets = more chances for them to look tough on crime. They're sure as shit not interested in governing.

His "Close-Up" album was one of the first CDs I bought in '88 after hearing it over the speakers in the CD store off Great Hills Trail (wish like hell I could remember the name of that place). He played on so many albums and soundtracks over the years (he's pretty much the signature sound of the Lethal Weapon franchise). Seemed like he was sitting in with Paul and the boys on Letterman once a month at least. Just seemed to be an all around nice guy. Guess I'll cue up some 10th Avenue Freezeout on the way home in remembrance.

Actually it may be the one moment in her life when she has been unflinchingly honest. She revealed who she is on a global stage and never gave a shit about what anyone thought about that overt statement.

There were a couple tall drinks of water from the nursing school with just the right amount of cray crazy in their eyes that definitely lent one to wondering more about their bedside manners. But a lot of meh seemed to be the theme of the day.

In Fort Worth for nephew's graduation from TCU last night. While sitting through those 3 hours of fucking bullshit I couldn't help but laugh at the 4 or 5 dorks who flashed Horns down while crossing the stage after getting their diploma. Biggest achievement in your life to date and that's what you do? Not even the little horn groggy sign? Sad. On the other hand, after seeing the easy 4:1 ratio of female/male in the ceremony, I can't imagine how inept a guy would have to be to not get laid there. This was Fine Arts/Engineering/Education/Nursing schools.

Just like the "grab 'em by the pussy" audiotape was sure to do 2 weeks before the election in 2016? Or the "just find me 11,000 votes" tape from Georgia? Or the J6 insurrection unfolding live on TV for hours? Trump is the fucking Terminator. He's an indestructible exoskeleton of evil stupidity wrapped in rotting orange flesh, fried food grease, and shit. It's like that scene in Platoon when Chris realizes Barnes killed Elias and he's trying to get the other grunts to frag him as payback. Rhah reminds everyone that Barnes had been shot six times already and he wasn't dead yet. "The only thing that can kill Barnes...is Barnes." Insert Trump.

Just ignore the obvious troll, for fuck's sake.

Why does this seem more difficult to do than Keef chugging from the bottles of Jack & beer plus whatever pills or powder he had stored on top of his amps in the '70s? Unless Eddie was chugging bottles of sauv blanc or some other super crisp white I can't imagine how raw his throat would be.

The MAGATs eat this shit up. Noem trying to twist the narrative from her lying about having met w/ KJU into her not wanting to discuss her "important" meetings w/ world leaders while insinuating KJU's name was removed on her behalf due to the top secret nature of her discussions is just the type of fodder the Shadow Government crowd loves to hear.

Maybe stretching the topic, but McMurtry posting a badass 24 track deck is damn cool.

I had that model. It was sweeeeeet.

Pretty sure that this is physically impossible, but is there any chance that a medical condition could cause one's BAC to be elevated to extreme levels without consuming alcohol? I was a BLS responder on a corporate response team for many years and witnessed Px going through diabetic ketoacidosis, but that wasn't a sustainable state (they either improved w/ treatment or continued to plummet w/ their glucose levels). BIL has had several bizarre experiences the past 3-4 months, including 2 hospital stays. His latest was yesterday when his wife found him stumbling into walls and speaking gibberish. She took him to the ER where they initially focused on his kidney values (he has some family history/underlying issues). His BAC was .24 after his second blood draw. His glucose was also elevated. His wife thinks he's developed type 2 diabetes (runs in his family; his younger brother died due to complications of it plus kidney disease). He's never been shy about his love of beer and bourbon, but he claims he hadn't had anything to drink on Saturday prior to his incident & hospital trip. That's almost certainly not true, but even if he did drink something is it possible his body would amplify the effects to the point that his BAC would read 3X the legal limit?

Plus, it gives cover fire for the "conservatives" who totally disagree w/ the GQP, J6, think Trump's rhetoric is too inflammatory, etc., to say "see, he's going to have a level-headed #2 in his administration which proves he's learning to become more presidential. He certainly won't repeat all of the mistakes he made last time."

"Reliable + low-drama" translates to "yes man who knows how to stay out of the spotlight" in Trump-speak. Plus, he's short. Can't have anyone on the ticket that threatens Trump's (lack of) manhood.
