  1. Our butcher here in Fort Collins, Friendly Nick (who's a great guy but always grumpy, thus the name) sends out a monthly email. Today's packed quite a wallop. Thought I'd post. Spoilered for length.
  2. 11234
  3. The meat of what he wrote is apparently a translation of a 1927 Carl Schmitt book.
  4. dotard stroke face photo, taken during his 60 Minutes softball interview. Spoilered in case you're eating.
  5. Here's how things are going for Trump/Cuomo
  6. being magat means living in constant fear
  7. the nazis are roosting in the gop nest and even the wsj is squirming (below)
  8. I've heard metastasizing bone cancer is quite painful.
  9. "Patel and Wilkins met at a friend's event in Nashville in 2022 and started their relationship a few months later, in early 2023. 'We just happened to meet,' Wilkins recounted, noting that the 19-year age gap she has with him always felt irrelevant. "I have always liked [him], when I met him, I just liked that he was so, so honest," Wilkins gushed. "He's exactly who he is all the time. His character is incredible. His values are incredible." Quote above is from the int'l business times. There is little known about her background. Not sure of the logic behind the Israeli, in particular, honeypot accusation but who knows.
  10. Yes, he is afraid to even look at the person asking him a question because he knows his facial reactions would look bad on tv. Seems like he's always looking down unless the question comes from a friendly.
  11. even in Toronto they do the popo triple lundy - incompetence, brutality and cover-up, all on the fly
  12. They have a beginning of a plan. The makings of one, if you will. Seriously I was imprecise. The congressional leadership doesn't have a plan. They're fucking clueless and soft af. I'm hoping a dynamic congressional election leads to a pres candidate who has some fire in the belly and populist ideas for change.
  13. crossfile under oops/groundhog day the vid got taken down so here's an article about the same thing from Daily Beast
  14. They have a plan it's just more technocrat, like Obama, than it is populist or revolutionary. That's going to have to change. I think a few of the old-timers get primaried and shoved out next year, despite the backing of the party. Yeah that's probably overly optimistic but I've gotta believe.
  15. The government is abusing federal law and the Constitution left and right but as someone pointed out, cruelty is the point so they put out this reminder that in theory is meant to stop "regular" customers from paying higher prices to support SNAP customers.
  16. Olivia is the EIC of The Barbed Wire https://thebarbedwire.com/2025/10/31/longhorns-remember-superfan-scott-wilson/ Obit penned by Begala
  17. "Simply put, Congress did not write IEEPA to allow a President to replace the income tax system with a patchwork of tariffs that they can impose, adjust, or suspend at will. Such major changes to the raising of revenue can only come from Congress, and Congress did not make that choice." "The Constitution gives the power to impose taxes, which includes tariffs, to Congress. Because IEEPA doesn’t extend that power to the president, his use of it here is just a power grab, the kind of practice the Supreme Court shouldpush back against if it intends to remain relevant to the American experiment. The Federal Circuit’s decision pointed out that while other laws expressly give the president the power to impose tariffs, IEEPA does not."
  18. and the wsj is ratcheting up one of its old standbys - dems in disarray
  19. Hopefully this will shake the dem establishment to its core.
  20. I heard a rumor the gf is a honey trap. She was on OANN discussing terror attacks in the US and trying to hype fear. She sings cuntry music in the US but grew up in Switzerland going to private schools.
