    At first I thought "this isn't Trump's America, that's in Toronto". I keep forgetting Canada is the 51st State.

    7 more massage therapists accuse Ravens’ Justin Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior


     

    7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office. ‘Cause you’re fucking fired.”

    He has filed the most beautiful bankruptcies. They're really tremendous. A lot of people say probably the best bankruptcies.

    Why should we spare you that?  At this point, do you not believe that Elon Musk and his minions are directly plugged into every election apparatus that matters in every location where it matters?  We've handed the keys to our entire system of government -- the whole goddamned thing -- to a deranged, evil tech billionaire.  We have a fucking Bond villain running everything....you think we're going to have fair and functional elections?

    She stated a litany of acts and evidence.  I mean, literally tens of thousands of pieces of evidence.  And a pretty outrageous and comprehensive story/conspiracy ripped from a Q-anon board.

    She provided/displayed.....not a single piece of that purported evidence.  10,633 hidden cam videos.  She didn't even provide a screenshot of one of those videos (she could even record it on her own phone).  Nothing.  Nada.

    She is bona fide insane.  She is also one of the most powerful people in the country and has the ear of the POTUS.

  8. Walters went so hard extra maga trying to get Trump to appoint him to something and failed. He is very much a mini-Trump. Not very smart and gets by due to ignorant voters who don't care that any real issue is never addressed beyond him saying something convoluted that includes deep state, woke, fake news, liberal, porn in school. And don't forget, no matter how often you lose, never admit you lost. For example:

     

    Quote

    After more than an hour of private discussions behind U.S. District Judge Bernard Jones’ courtroom, attorneys for State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters and KFOR struck an agreement this morning to settle a lawsuit alleging that Walters violated First Amendment protections by singling out and prohibiting Channel 4 journalists from accessing public meetings and press conferences.

    As part of the settlement, the Oklahoma State Department of Education must pay $17.91 in damages to KFOR — a numerical reference to 1791, the year the Bill of Rights and its First Amendment were ratified in America.

    “This is a huge victory for journalism,” Institute for Free Speech attorney Charles Miller told reporters outside the courthouse. “What happened today is the state school board superintendent decided that rather than go to trial and face that, they would grant KFOR everything that it was asking for in the case. It’s very clear that the defendants all along admitted it that they were doing this because they did not like what KFOR was reporting.”

    According to the agreed final judgment and permanent injunction, Walters and Isett must:

    Grant access for KFOR to all OSDE board meetings, press conferences, gaggles or other meetings held in which other news media are given nonexclusive access;

    Grant KFOR’s access to the RSVP notices OSDE sends to journalists prior to each meeting;

    Grant KFOR inclusion on the email distribution list for all OSDE press releases and notifications related to OSDE activities, following a meeting between KFOR’s news director and Isett at KFOR studios;

    Grant KFOR’s access to all OSDE “statements” issued to members of the general press in response to daily press inquiries; and

    Re-establish the media line outside State Board of Education meetings for journalists wishing to attend those meetings, “subject to security concerns that may arise.”

    Don't allow press that calls you out on your bullshit, you just remove them right? That sounds familiar. Of course, Walters and his mouthpiece have other thoughts on the result:

    Quote

    Walters, whose formal request for a jury trial was denied by Jones, declined to discuss the KFOR lawsuit as he and Isett exited the courthouse Wednesday.

    “Nope,” Walters said. “No comment.”

    Later Wednesday, Brown tweeted, “We did it!!” Isett responded by claiming, “KFOR got nothing of what their lawsuit asked for,” and he alleged that Brown “lied in his deposition.” Further bickering ensued.

    Shortly before 3 p.m., Walters tweeted a screenshot of a KFOR headline claiming the TV station “wins” the lawsuit.

    “The Oklahoma news media and @kfor won the fake news award,” Walters said. “They lie to the public, lie to themselves, and as the leading liberal media outlet in our state they will continually be held accountable.”

    Sending surplus or obsolete equipment made in the USA to Ukraine to defend democracy, stop ethnic cleansing and a enemy foreign invasion with no US troops is Bad

    Sending US troops and money to ethnically cleanse Gaza and rebuild it as a resort community with taxpayer money that gets us into a 50 year conflict with Oligarchs reaping all the benefit is good.

    I feel like Trump Resort & Spa in Gaza would be a very safe place to vacation.

    Taylor Sheridan TV shows are meant for men that like soap operas who don't want to admit that they like soap operas. It's simple minded shit slapped together and served up as slop for the masses.

     

    I can be pretty critical of TV shows, so it seemed like I should check out Lioness when I was told attractive ladies seem to start kissing out of nowhere and Zoe Saldana gets naked to make sure it was a well written, intellectual, factually accurate, true to life series.

    Heard on NPR this morning that a county in far west texas has 8 (IIRC) cases of measles. All kids, none vaccinated. Measles vax is 97% effective at keeping you from getting the disease if exposed. 

    More are expected. 

    You're not supposed to hear about such things, and that's why:

    However, Trump pushed ahead with a 10% tariff on all Chinese merchandise.

    As part of that move, the White House also announced that it would close the century-old de minimis exemption, which allows packages worth under $800 to be shipped into the country duty-free. That rule has allowed for the massive growth of Chinese discount retailers such as Shein and Temu, which ship everything from designer knockoff dresses to gaming monitors at rock-bottom prices directly to consumers from overseas warehouses, one tax-free bundle at a time.

    It's almost like little, or no thought, goes into decisions being made...

    "Trump reversed his decision to eliminate the “de minimis” loophole that allowed packages from China valued at under $800 to be processed without customs duties or tariffs—a boon for retailers like Shein and Temu—though the order said Trump will get rid of the loophole again once the U.S. commerce secretary establishes a system to “fully and expediently process and collect tariff revenue.”"

    Any legit theories on why Trump didn't go scorched earth on these government agencies the first time around?

     

    Like all politicians elected to a first term, he wanted to get re-elected.
