Yeah, powerful enough to knock the window frame out, but didn't break the glass.

The horsey sauce might actually be from a horse.

It's also possible that they were not using the facility as designed - storing more kilotons in each compartment than what the isolation was rated for, storing ammo outside of the hardened areas, etc.. I assume when Russia designed their logistics, it wasn't with the idea that facilities within 50 miles of the Ukrainian border would be high risk, or significantly higher risk than storage north of Moscow. So, they may not have as many "safe" locations for the amount of ammo/weapons they are currently moving. Now their calculation has to change again.

He finds it "creepy" that women, particularly black women, can decide to get an abortion despite white men of Ohio have deciding that she should have that child.

A little clarification on those posts: it wasn't two later that the cat was found, it was two weeks ago. So Miss Sassy Pants was found a few days before Mr. Shitty Pants was talking about it in a nationally televised debate.

Looks pretty light out for 4:43 AM.

Same here. (But I am a Nebraska fan.)

It’s entirely possible that Milo is Ladybug’s (or the Party’s in general) response.

Especially in the summer.

If it makes it go down any easier, I think the only way you get your party back is if Trump loses.

That, and an assassin or meteor would really dampen my celebration of his death. I am looking forward to that day and I don't want anything to mitigate that joy.

Total guess on my part: With Harris running as a moderate and Trump running as a nutcase, I think the Dems will pick up seats. In purple districts (which are the only ones we care about), the Republican candidate has to walk a tighter line on supporting Trump's policies than the Democratic candidate does on supporting Harris policies. Heaven help the Republican candidate who does fully support Trump or his policies. They are one tweet away from campaign implosion.

Well, a grand wizard, but it’s just an honorary title.

Pretty good article on Latino immigrants in small town Nebraska, which I imagine has parallels to Haitian immigrants in small town Ohio.

With any luck, it will cover his mouth.

Any time she rallies in a town, she makes the local news. Usually it will come with a view of the crowd, maybe a shot of long lines going into the venue, and maybe a brief clip of her saying something interesting/inspirational. She also gets a headshot in the local paper. It also drives discussion about her on social media for the residents. There is a lot of earned media with every rally. Also, something the campaign is making a point of is contrasting her schedule with Trump's schedule. She is demonstrating that she is younger and has more energy. If Trump tries to match her schedule, he will get even more unstable. I think interviews with media outlets that have paywalls (NYT, WSJ, WaPo) are practically worthless. If anyone is paying for those services, they already know who they are voting for. Interviews on CNN, NBC, etc. will reach more people, but still have limited value for similar reasons I like that she gave an interview to a local station in Pennsylvania. I think local news is less associated with national politics, and therefore can reach a wider cross-section of a particular city/region. I would like to see more of that. I don't know much about the podcast stuff. I am old.

While you may be correct, in comparing the statements, it is amazing how much more professional and diplomatic the 34 year old pop star is than the 78 year old former president.

With the vast menagerie of weirdos over the last 8 years, I had completely forgotten a Milo existed. I take it it's this Milo (from Wikipedia).

I've never listened to Rogan, but to me it is seems like his problem is being too accommodating to his guests, many of whom are dangerous nutballs. Is he shitty to people he doesn't agree with? If not, it seems like a pretty low risk interview. But, I don't know if you get backlash from giving Rogan more legitimacy?

The Springfield mayor:

I was thinking the Red Witch for Loomer.

I've watched that like 5 times now. It just keeps getting funnier.

The Loomer thing is definitely entertaining. I’m a little torn on whether to be happy about it. In the short term, I think she is more damaging than Trumps debate. She is directly attacking Republicans, and viciously so. Openly calling MTG’s infidelity and Ladybug’s sexuality - that is not just politics. And it’s not good politics. For the last 8 years I’ve believed that Trumpism only ends when the Republicans have a civil war and the adults win. She is definitely starting that war. But, in the long term, she may be the most likely heir to the Trump throne. Everything that was perceived about Trump 8 years ago applies to her. He was too racist, too stupid, too bombastic with other Republicans. She pushes the bar even lower.

So, I was watching Livenow from Fox....Trump was wandering the "spin room" trying to salvage his performance. They couldn't get decent audio or video on him because it's basically just a crowd. Then they cut over to Harris, who was on a stage, with a microphone, talking to her supporters and giving in a mini-rally. It was a fitting contrast.

Scary black immigrants (Haitians) eat cats. JD Vance has given speeches on it. Trump thought it was something he could attack Harris on. Goes without saying, it is a racist lie. This is America in 2024.
