What happens when a nazi suffers severe and rapid cognitive decline? Now we know. 

Well Trump's obviously not a Texas fan since he's not familiar with the obvious flaws in his argument known as Case McCoy and Chris Simms.

Also, more contemporary, may I introduce Bronny James as evidence?

I just received this from ChatGPT using the prompt “Create the origin story for Kamala Harris becoming president thanks to her love for Chili’s”

 

Kamala Harris’s journey to the presidency began on an ordinary evening at a local Chili’s in her hometown of Oakland, California. As she sat with friends, sharing a platter of sizzling fajitas, a spirited conversation erupted around the table about the challenges facing their community. The discussion flowed from education inequities to healthcare access, and the laughter and camaraderie transformed into a passionate debate about the need for change.

Inspired by the diverse voices around her, Kamala realized that these conversations, often held in casual settings, reflected the heart of democracy. The warmth of the restaurant, filled with families and friends, struck her as a microcosm of America—a place where everyone deserved a seat at the table.

That night, she made a vow: to channel her frustrations into action. With a renewed sense of purpose, she envisioned a future where every voice mattered and where she could be a catalyst for change. The experience solidified her commitment to public service, ultimately leading her to pursue a career in law, advocacy, and politics.

Years later, as she stood on the national stage, she often recalled that pivotal moment at Chili’s, where the spark of inspiration ignited a lifelong mission to uplift her community and advocate for justice. It reminded her that every great journey begins with a conversation—and sometimes, a plate of sizzling fajitas.

This is worth both spiking global carbon emissions to feed AI's immense appetite for energy and the inevitable Skynet hammer drop.

Worth watching the final few minutes of today's rally at MSU. This is a strong and confident woman, who is going to be a helluva president. 

 

Mamala's confidence seems to be growing noticeably every day. It's really showing in her rallies.

The fact that AI already knows how to do a pretty good “Years Later” jump cut is kinda concerning… gonna be writing full green lit CBS sitcom scripts in no time…

is it possible to get a version of this with more Aubrey Plaza in it by chance?

Are we as a country so fucking brain broken that while the stock market is at an all time high, a candidate for president can run on a message that America hasn’t been worse than 1984?

I mean, we’ve had recessions, a tech bubble, an earth shattering terrorist attacl, a multiple decades war, a war that was based on lies and destabilized the Middle East, a near collapse of the capitalistic order in 08, a global pandemic that cause a stock market crash not seen since the 08 crash, millions of Americans dead bc of Covid, and the guy throwing ficking rocks is the guy during the Covid collapse and is responsible for the terrible response to it!

WTF?!

So - I’m ashamed to report that I was not able to complete the 15 pre-purchased cocktails per day on this, my first day.  But I have had - ah - several.  And I had about a 12 ounce pour Pinot Noir I took back to my room from dinner.   

So I’m rereading Paul Revere’s Ride by David Fischer, when I saw this quote:

‘Milo Kundera has recently reminded us that “the struggle against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.” ‘

All of these women have a firm memory of their rights pre-Dobbs, and they have definitely decided not to forget. 

 

Case in point, it's Milan Kundera.

Bizzaro world update for a mid-40s white in GA:

Bizzaro point 1. I mentioned about a week ago that a Black college student of mine was asking trusted adults about whom to vote for. He’s committed to the biblical framework for voting, so despite his general inclination to vote Kamala, he was leaning Trump because trusted adults in his Baptist circle can’t see the open wickedness past the abortion issue. We share a similar faith background, so I presented bible-based reasons for voting for Kamala and left it at that. No pressure, just pointing him to a few bible verses and trusting him to make a thoughtful decision.

He asked me to take him to the polling location on Friday. I didn’t pry; we only discussed the ease of the GA voting process. Today he told me that he voted Kamala.

Bizzaro point 2. My wife and I voted the first few days of early voting, but tonight, she started expressing buyers remorse and talking about how maybe Trump would be the better choice. I’m note sure what social media propaganda got a hold of her, but I had to remind her that what she’s saying is insane. She’s smart, but the algorithm knows what buttons to push.

So here I am, a guy who, based on where I live and go to church, what I look like, my age, background, regularly voting in Republican primaries, etc., is assumed to be a Trump voter, trying to help members of two historically marginalized groups rationalize and justify their votes against further repression. People are strange, propaganda is strong, and Charlie Strong was right about social media.

Hadn’t seen this posted elsewhere but this is the Harris campaigns guide to when you can expect votes to roll in.

We've had 5 years of hysterical ledge talk, and two days before an election, it just vanishes.

...like Covid after the election.

[Dutchrudder 11133]

In case any of you thought I was lying...

 

[Blotto 23484]

I aint gonna lie, I ducked into Chili's a couple of times on my recent national park roadie when I was rolling into some rando town like Rapid City later at night staying in hotel alley. And that $10.99 pick 3 deal slammed with cold beer(s). But I never expected to actually visit a Chili's where there was a chance it could be documented/verified. Is my time in the Chili's closet short-lived? Can  we get the OG location on Lamar to install bidets by Wednesday? So many questions.

When she was at Howard, she frequented a dive popular with students, Ben’s Chili Bowl. And she grew chile peppers at the VP’s residence. That’s enough of a connection.
Chili’s is the official “if Kamala wins, we celebrate here” HQ.

OK then. How do we take this thing national and swamp every Chili's in the country?

Why are you talking about this stuff? MAGA means pre women voting great again, it means pre desegregation great again, it means great again for white males. 

[Dbeasy 15039]

Our conversation every time (rarely) we go to a Chili’s:

Me - ”ugh, I don’t want to go there.”

Her - ”I don’t either. Where else can we go?”

Me and Her - ”_______? No  _______? Nah  ______? Too far.  _____? Too _____.  Let’s just go to Chili’s”

[Eat at Chili’s]

Her - ”Well, that was tolerable “

Me - ”Yup I don’t need to vomit.”

Both - “ Success!”

Every time.
