  1. Peeps… this is a quick five minute cruise of what the Russian newspapers are saying about the military and financial going on in Russia. I was actually surprised at the level of negative reporting on some of it. I had not seen this personā€˜s channel before, but I’m going to add it to my daily viewing because it saves a bunch of time (love Inside Russia, but Konstantin is ponderous) and covers more topics than Julia Davis and her excellent Russian Media Monitor.
  2. What is this…dignity…of which you speak? I am unfamiliar with this.
  3. When they reach the station, she demanded to be taking to the ā€œcomfortable part of the jailā€ …because she was ā€œnot a criminalā€. Possible Speaker of the House.?
  4. You had me until ā€œdecisiveā€. Disillusionment at the economy and affordability when coupled with crypt keeper Biden until, ā€œWait - the replacement is a colored womanā€ was decisive.
  5. Because of a political commentary, I’m not putting that in flight disrupting assholes. Her voice alone is enough to send people into a mental state requiring seppuku - but I was oddly mesmerized by this Exhibit A of why our world has failed. This entitled Karen has checked all the boxes: 1) board’s plane after being refused boarding 2) tells officers she should not have to leave plane 3) advises officers that she ā€œdoesn’t care about the other passengersā€, but her rights when told they will have to deplane the passengers to arrest her 4) demands that the officers collect her luggage 5) continually refuses to follow any orders and constantly interrupts officers 6) shrieks and cries in between intermittent temper tantrums 7) curses and MFs the police - while then saying that she voted for Trump and the police so they should not be happening to her 8 ) explains that she makes more in a day than they make in a week 9) despite missing that extremely complicated concept that you can’t be denied boarding for being drunk - and then force yourself into your first class seat - she advises that she is ā€œhighly educatedā€ 10) when the cops finally arrived at the station, she pronounces that she does not ā€œfeel comfortable with the officers who took her there, taking her into the stationā€ 11) cries and wails at the unfairness of her demands, not being instantly adhered to 12) and while it took a while, she finally places the blame on the black lady on the plane and announces she is a victim of racism. 13) obligatory demand for officer badge numbers because she’s going to sue the motherfuckers and the department for the horrible way they treated her I guess this is when MAGA meets Flight interrupting assholes. i’m not quite sure why this interests me so much, but I think of her case as a distillation of every single social and personality failing you could cram into one entitled white Karen bitch.
  6. I was about to post a Case McCoy pic until I had a rare and momentary firing of a common sense synapse.
  7. Honestly, I’ve never seen any data on this, but I unfortunately have this cynical idea that the chuckleheads who don’t pay attention are still not paying attention and have never paid attention. certainly a few more people followed the ACA standoff every time they mentioned it. Monthly premiums going up hundreds of dollars will make them pay attention, so I think it will be the bill in the mail instead of the media that will provide the information that matter matters.
  8. We should thank him. The optics that were blurred by the eight Democratic Senators folding just regained a bit of focus - the GOP is still taking away your healthcare. And the senile man baby says he’s gonna give everyone money and they can pay for their healthcare with that because we don’t need insurance companies. (Cletus, somewhere: ā€œDang, I’m purty healthy since I’ve been eaten the horse paste, so I’m gonna buy a bigger boat for the Trump parade!ā€)
  9. Ouch. in my karmic evolution from dung beetle to lawyer, I must’ve been decent in my last life, because a month before the last major hurricane state farm allowed me to obtain a 2% deductible instead of the usual 6% deductible if I switched to their auto insurance in addition to homeowners. That saved me 45K. Granted, I had to sue the bastards in federal court, and it took two years to get my money.
  10. this late September article contained one nugget that I stashed away. Putting aside the constant drone attacks, I know nothing about oil and gas production, and wonder if one of the resident oil barons could tell me how often scheduled maintenance occurs, and the consequences of not doing scheduled maintenance over time. Is it monthly maintenance, quarterly maintenance, yearly maintenance - or a combination of that depending on which component and how important it is? When will we start seeing booms just because they decided not to do maintenance?
  11. Has your insurance company started giving you the stink eye yet? Once upon a Time Louisiana would allow an insurer to cancel you if you made three claims in five years.
  12. I will wake up tomorrow in New Orleans and it will be 38°
  13. This bothers me reading it. Am I missing out on untold wealth by not forming a religion like L Ron Hubbard did? As head of the church, I should designate myself - ā€œTHE PRIME MEMBERā€
  14. looks like you inadvertently used an extra S there, Mac
  15. Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter disagrees.
  16. What is fantastic about this, is just imagine all of those political advisors to all of those GOP Senators and Congressmen and women (and those politicians who tuned in to see their orange God in action) seeing the entire stadium booing him. They comprise a sub-class of mammals with no spines. They have pinned their political fortunes and their hope of financial security through grifting and continued electability on a shithead who is being booed by the stadium, within 24 hours of his administration filing appeals so they can avoid paying the poorest among us who need food, and veterans who need care. Sure, some will be true believers and such sociopathic sadists that they won’t know or care, but most of them are cowardly spineless politicians, whose only moral compass is what will get me elected next time. Those are the ones who probably begin to realize that Neandertoe Marge is on to something. When they looked at Atlanta and saw counties going from +24 Trump to +4 Democrat, there was a lot of fluid flowing into depends. This cannot have made them feel better.
  17. This goes to my point and briskets’ point. They are too stupid to figure things out until they are literally homeless on a soup kitchen line. The rational kind people of America will never be free from the cruelty and hatred of MAGA until they figure out things. Giving them food and money convinces them that they are right and there are no consequences for their beliefs. There needs to be consequences to break that mindset. Can you imagine what a wonderful secular world it would be if all those idiots were actually raptured? Kindness, compassion, and empathy levels would quadruple overnight.
  18. i’m sure that it wasn’t good for Ukraine. I’m also sure that I’m not gonna take Russian state media’s word for it. We shall see. Hey Britain - those additional storm shadows you promised would be good about right now.
  19. Again, we need a mechanism so we can like individual post multiple times. Once a week, once a month, something like that.
  20. What a great play call that Vandy was in OT
  21. For the world sake, I don’t wanna have America become a Nazi Germany with nukes. I want to stop us from turning into that more than anything. You know, a country built on white supremacy and hatred, using the government to politically prosecute political enemies, disabling free elections, and using our military domestically and internationally to fuck over everyone who doesn’t agree with us. The only way I can see is not turning into that is a massive shift in the many people who seem to be heading that way with no problem. I don’t want a child to starve. But as someone said, the poor will always be with us. I’ve stated my case, and I’m sticking with it, but I can certainly understand why people don’t agree with me. Because you don’t know how truly fucking hard it was to get me to agree with me.
  22. This story contains more concentrated abuse of the rule of law and Putin Hitler style use of the government legal machine to prosecute political enemies than any story so far. As always, Trump goes with incompetents and beauty contestants to go after his political enemies. The person appointed federal prosecutor for the eastern district of Virginia has zero prosecutorial experience, and was a defense insurance lawyer when she quit going to beauty pageants.. As a sidenote, she was almost certainly illegally appointed, and in another sideshow, it appears Pam Bondy backdated an appointment to try to make it legal. There is so much shit going on that is it is unfortunate that no one is seeing this story, as it encapsulates the utter unfitness of office for Trump and his entire criminal administration. Like I always say, if they weren’t all incompetent, none of us would have a chance. But because the prime rule is to do what Donald says, they all march into the blades of the giant fan to lose cases and eventually law licenses. I’m sure there was a good podcast on this, but I don’t know how to find it with the volume of YouTube and another videos and podcast that pop up every day click on the link to the 207 page motion to dismiss the indictment and exhibits, because it is a shit pie thrown in the face of Trump that is fresher and more odious than anything I’ve seen recently. When Bondy and Hannigan were ordered by a federal judge to produce any evidence of adversarial prosecution against James, team Trump fired a person who had gathered a bunch of it, and then file a motion saying ā€˜notice we aren’t gonna give it to you judge’ For you non-lawyers and non-federal practitioners, that’s not really a good idea to tell a federal judge. I have not seen a ā€fuck your orderā€ response that has proved successful so far. Because Team Bondi said that there was no evidence of adversarial prosecution, and so no need to follow federal court orders, James filed this motion, setting forth why they should dismiss the indictment. Interestingly, and rather humorously, James points out that by Bondi saying they weren’t gonna turn it over - they had just admitted the existence of requested discovery supporting that the prosecution was adversarial. I think this is a very important matter that more people should know about. Probably only the Surly lawyer Cabal will take a look, but it is definitely worth looking at. The filing has huge amounts of exhibits attached, so it is worth looking at just to see what James easily collected to show what Trump was doing. In a perfect world, I’d love to see the court allow James attorneys to first depose Trump and Bondy and Hannigan. I seriously doubt that could ever happen, but I would still love to see that on the nightly news with Trump begging the Supreme Court to save him from having to testify, as everyone talks about all the exhibits in that filing.

  23. yes. But the key point is that it’s not entirely unbelievable. I mean, how do we know a bunch of those air traffic controllers aren’t DEI hires?
