Saw Glass Onion at a film festival a few weeks ago. It was great. Craig still hasn't nailed the southern accent. But just took it as some more of the jokes.
No need to see Knives Out first. It's in the same universe, but the story is completely separate.

I understand that. I’m saying it’s different this time. In the past, the media and key power brokers weren’t aligned. Now they are. How many times in the last 6 years did Fox rip Trump?
The 2016 primary. Until trump won it.

It’s over. I asked for bets at 5-1 and got none. People talk shit but nobody will put their money on him. As you said, the money folk have shoveled dirt on him. It’s over.
You should check what year you placed the bet for.
Dems are playing with fire if they want trump as the GQP nominee. He won’t win, but he may cheat enough to take the office of presidential dictator. Either way, even if the dems keep technical control the country will be destroyed. You don’t flirt with fascists. -

I can't remember if I ever posted this but I have a close friend that runs in high places in Florida and is exposed to the inner-workings of the Republican Party. He's a very smart guy and very well connected. According to him, it has already been decided by all of the power players in the Republican Party that Ron DeSantis is their guy for the general election. Fox News is on-board as are all of the other resources that supported Trump in 2020 and 2016. Of course, Trump won't go quietly, but at some point if he doesn't sit his ass down, shut the fuck up and go off somewhere to die in an alzheimer's trance, the power brokers of the Party will torch him. What that means, I have no idea, but I would assume that making indictments stick is one way.
The “power brokers” were going to torch him after grab ‘‘em by the pussy, 1/6, stealing national security documents, and on an on. They never even utter a word of discomfort, never mind abandoning him or going after him. The power brokers already assented to treason. There’s no coming back from that- 11

Trump will be the GQP nominee in 2024. Unless he dies. You don’t go from raising flags for a living person who you worship to turning on them. You just don’t. Anyone applying logic to the situation is misguided. This is all about emotions, worshiping false idols, and marks lacking the psychological ability to ever admit they were conned. Trump could be sitting in federal prison (spoiler he won’t be) and he would still be the nominee.

Until the rank and file fully abandon him, I do not believe it. The crazies outvote the moderates in the presidential primaries.
These same people were against him in 2016 until he won the primary. They fall in line so easily.
It’s a cult. There’s no logic to whether the GQP breaks from him. They won’t. Unless and until their members are deprogrammed. Which isn’t happening because of polls, or common sense, or moderation.- 2

How much of Atlanta has yet to report though? .9% is a pretty big chunk of votes at this point.
I'm loathe to predict anything, other than overall dems got way more votes than the GQP across the country. And because of gerrymandering and voter suppression this will be way closer than it should be, and we're still overall screwed because there's just going to be more GQP gerrymandering and voter suppression and refusal to accept election results.
But looking at the map, Warnock has 49.4% with 94% in. Of the 6% remaining, almost all of it is from heavily Democratic areas. It's certainly possible he'll get over 50%.

Warnock 49.1
Walker 48.8
94% reportingLooks like most of what's outstanding is in the Atlanta area too. I wouldn't be surprised if Warnock takes it outright with no runoff.

Fetterman wins. Barnes barely falls. GA go to runoff. NV TBD bc they aren’t gonna tell us anything
House single digit R majority. Maybe Dems can hold if they sweep the tossups and flip a bunch of CA races
Have they called WI yet? It looks to me like Johnson's ahead, but a lot (most?) of what's outstanding is Milwaukee.

1. No fucking shit.
2. If they didn’t realize before that he was a loser who harms their party after HE ALREADY COST THEM THE PRESIDENCY AND ALL OF CONGRESS, then I’m not sure they’ll learn this time.
Spoiler: they won't. It's a cult. Not a political party. They still support him after he stole top secret government documents, tried to overthrow the government, and supported Putin. Nothing will stop them from worshiping trump, unless he does us all a favor and chokes on a Big Mac.

Doesn't say it's right wing, but we're, what, a month out from trump threatening American Jews.

I didn’t hear Dwight’s name brought up at all. Did I miss something or was this just a terrible edit?
I think they mentioned it in passing. The problem with this season is that the editing is only about all the twists/advantages and challenges. I am completely lost on who's alligned with who and why and what the dynamics are. It's just a group of random people with a bunch of random advantages.

I've been receiving multiple texts almost identical to this. In NJ. I live in a town that Biden won by about 80 points and don't buy their explanation that this was a mistake. If it was a mistake, why didn't they text me the correct polling place?

If you want to discuss politicians' using their positions to profit, why don't you start a thread about it? It shouldn't be on here, a thread about Nancy Pelosi, who hasn't been specifically accused of self dealing, other than by the alternative facts folks, and they did so three days after her husband had his skull bashed in during an assassination attempt on her, in an attempt to deflect from the fact that the GQP has become a fascist organization.
I'm sure there's plenty of self dealing, and it's unethical, and we should do something about it. But maybe not randomly discussing it on the Nancy Pelosi thread.

Voted yesterday. Right afterward got a text from some organization called "Voting Futures" telling me, with a photo of the location, of the nearest vote location to me. But the location they sent isn't a polling place. Complete fuckery.

Rented a car for a few weeks in Scotland. I actually thought driving in the towns was easier in a way---when I was out in the country it was easy to subconsciously get more into old habits and start driving toward the right side of the road. In traffic, it was much easier just to see what everyone else was doing and follow them. I'm sure driving in London would be a nightmare, though. Also, I recommend getting an automatic. Rented a manual, thought it would be no problem since I've had tons of stick shift cars, but shifting with my left hand was one extra thing to think about, in addition to all the other differences of driving on the left.

Like insider trading through Nancy? He got a nice start, she took him to the finish line through pending legislation and timely detail. Serving public office, must be nice, right?Sounds lovely. Within the last 2 years, Nancy had insurrectionists in the Capitol trying to kill her, and then her husband gets his head bashed in by an intruder. Living the dream, I tell you.

Speaking of which, let me tell you something I wish someone had told me. You need small Egyptian bills. Acquire them and horde them.
Everything is baksheesh. Everything from beggars to guys who provide legitimate service for which you would ordinarily tip (e.g., the bellman at the hotel) are going to look for baksheesh. You'll learn this word quickly.
Tell the beggars "La'a"--no. But very often, it's proper to give a small amount for some small service. But you don't want to over-baksheesh.
Case in point: Mrs.LL and I went to a bar on our first night in Cairo. They had a cool hookah set-up, so we ordered up a hookah. All good. So there are these dudes walking around with fresh coals for your hookah. Our fire gets a little low, so we call over one of these guys. He gives us some fresh coals, and puts out his hand for baksheesh. Sure--that's fair. So I give him the smallest bill I had, which was a 20-pound note (about $1).
Apparently, that was waaaay, too much.
So the next thing I know, I've got every coal guy in the joint buzzing around me waiting to refresh my coals. I mean, they were all over us.
Egyptian currency comes in notes of 25 and 50 piasteres and 1, 5, 10, 20, 100, and 200-pound notes. Those small denominations are tough to come by. But you're definitely going to want a bunch of them for your baksheeshing. I mean--I would seriously overpay for some of those small notes if that's what it took, just to avoid over-baksheeshing.
This. I went last December and needed those small notes everywhere. If you need to use the bathroom at a temple, you have to pay and they won't make change.
Also, It was surprisingly cold. I needed my jacket every day except when we were at Abu Simbel.

Imagine the day after Reagan was shot, we all argued about trickle down economics and what a piece of shit he was to women and minorities, while he was still on the operating table, to deflect from the fact we supported Hinckley and wish he'd achieved his goal.
