  1. There's something else I don't know much about. I was wondering last night if Musk has lost that seemingly huge number of people that sorta worshipped him (overstatement, but you know what I mean). I guess I should say to what extent. I know he's grown unpopular after taking over Twitter. What is the status of his large following?
  2. We must rush more golf carts to Florida retirement communities! Where have you gone Mike Wallace, the nation turns it's betrayed eyes to you. Dan Rather too. Shame on any journalist who would work under those circumstances. I appreciate that. I don't hate America, but I have grown to find repulsive our violent mythology, brutal history, and denial about real flaws in the way we regard race, sex, and greed. The US has been a great nation at times. Even when the government was training death squads and overthrowing elected governments, American churches and other humane interests were building schools, providing medical help, and performing other well-intended acts. I find when I travel internationally, which isn't often, I prefer some other countries. They act on big issues like climate cataclysm and live their lives everyday in ways that I admire. I'll feel better about this country if the spirit and intentions of Harris/Walz ascend and reflect a majority philosophy. Still, tens of millions of Magas.
  3. Seems they often have. And I vote Dem.
  4. They don't dare say what's obvious unless it comes from the lips of someone not a "journalist." I didn't see the interview you write about, but I can guess at what was going on in the host's mind. Boy, sure wish someone was here with the other viewpoint to refute this mis-statements of facts! A shitstream of lies is not a viewpoint. The word fact shouldn't be in the same sentence with what this is. Most importantly, the story isn't whatever this guy is lying about. The story is that he is lying as part of a network of liars which can destroy political discourse if presented on equal footing with truth. You know truth, don't you? Accuracy? Remember that? At least you have your own show. Let's bring in the panel! You'd rather opine than report, and you're shit at both. I can't watch. I'll blow a vein.
  5. And that can be anything without regard for law or decency. Jeff Epstein knew his market. From Chinatown, perhaps an underappreciated line:
  6. I was waiting for the warning about night sweats, dizziness, rashes on the perineum. Don't take if medicated for sinus congestion. Call your doctor if your heart stops beating. Sorta sappy, but sappy sells in this self-congratulatory land.
  7. Thanks for posting this. Murdoch, from what I gather from the above, is actually frustrated that Trump isn't taking more steps to win the election. Unsurprising but still unsettling conclusions suggest themselves. Murdoch has direct control of the WSJ editorial page. Murdoch is a Trumpist as long as Trump has value. The value of a GOP in the WH or running the senate seems to be more enormous for him than I would have guessed. Conclusion: Murdoch through ownership of FOX, WSJ, and enormous amounts of cash is more of a part owner of the GOP with Russia than the powerful influencer that I imagined him to be. What does he get for this? Murdoch doesn't care what Trump does to the US as long as he gets whatever it is he is sucking from our veins. Is Murdoch wanting a seat with the junta Trump would create? How big of a behind the scenes fascist might he be? Maybe everybody already guessed or knew this about that old vampire. I hadn't been paying much attention to him.
  8. I'm beginning to think we are still going high when they go low. We quote Trump and ridicule it but not by calling him a slut who sucked dicks to get where he is. Maybe the high part is using truth as a weapon. Harris & the Dems are murdering Trump, but they haven't stated anything I would be embarrassed to quote. Feels good.
  9. No big deal that his brother was involved in the Pentagon discussions when Trump's toadies were stalling the National Guard response to their little coup. I'm sorry, not coup but obstruction of a government procedure.
  10. I pos repped you for the explanation. I think we'll all agree that that's hardly what anyone thinks the meaning of decade is when talking about time. Torture, indeed.
  11. And he has to hear it from the Head Coach. It's almost like he's an employee of the Athletic Department. Strange.
  12. Humorless people are bad at humor.
  13. He has spent his whole life slithering and sliding away from penalties and paying. I think he'll believe he can sue or protest his way out of everything. He'll try to overthrow the government, again. Maybe this time he'll be convicted of attempted interference with a government proceeding. Scary. Then he'll appeal.
  14. You know where William's office is. Why don't you just sashay on down there and say it to his face?
  15. I hope he is enjoying his last months as president without worrying about re-election. He should feel so good about stopping Trump 4 years ago and being part of a finesse move to kick that fuckwad in the nuts this go 'round. What a ride for a man in his 70s! Enjoy yourself, Joe. You earned it.
  16. Highly decorated TexAgs nutjob on why a Texas site reported the injury while the A&Ministry of Truth sat on it: They know us so well.
  17. It's that simple. First response on this tweet: Regarding Biden and Trump: It's that simple. Kamala in the white top descending those steps is a perfect image to capture what this is all about. Clean and new and forward looking. Congrats to whomever chose the wardrobe that day. What a shock that Diness D'Souza is talking out of his ass for his pardoner.
  18. All that waitstaff was going to get a huge dividend from supply-side economics and trickle-down! Look at the Laffer curve! Thanks, President Reagan!
  19. When asked about the death penalty in the 1970s, a popular frame was, "Could you pull the trigger yourself?" My mother responded without pause, "Hell yes!" I've used that question as a standard ever since. I'm not a tough guy. I'm not a war veteran. I'm a suburban white boy. Could I pull the trigger on these enemies? Hell yes, I could. I'd feel like any American soldier who killed a Nazi or a terrorist. They decided this, not me.
  20. He looks like Mike Wallace of the 21st Century.
  21. Since that horrible outrage of a day, I keep using the visual of the traitors attacking the outside of the Capitol which is what I see in my mind when I think of the event. Seeing the above visual with the story of this dickhead wanting his spear back is jarring to me. And I now recall the one below: The elected voice of the American people put in fear for their lives. That terrorized representative in red is the personification of what the breakdown of civilized discourse means to a republic. I'm getting sick looking at this picture. Maybe this is the greatest example of the denial of the obvious at the crossroads of the law and the national (mostly TV) news media that there is. Am I to understand that we all see this and the best way to prosecute it is as "conspiracy to interfere with a government procedure" or whatever the actual milky, limp, inapt charges were? It's obvious that this is an insurrection. It's obvious that murder was intended because that's what they said they wanted to do. They battered, beat, blinded, and traumatized the keepers of order (Capitol Police) to the extent that there were later suicides and widespread PTSD as is associated with combat in the field. Every person who violated the first police barrier is complicit. The whole lot of these enemies should have been shipped off to Guantanamo or put in steel cages and dropped in the cold sea. They want to act outside of civilized behavior to visit violence on those who do not? We can do that, too. This fuckwad shaman asks for it? You want to believe you're hard men who can use force to compel me and us? Let's play, motherfucker. Let's play. You will learn the cruelty of the state in prison. You're getting off easy.
