I caught her in a great faux pas when she was just starting out, such that it was either a stupid move or her understanding of such things is lacking. I'm not going to elaborate publicly because there is more than enough bashing coming her way. That said, I think she could be kept on as a future "keeper of the progressive flame," a next-generation Liz Warren or Bernie. She'll never be elected to the presidency (recall the 3-shirted one saying "votes don't matter anymore") but she'll make her voice heard. She could be elected mayor of NYC (probably one of the worst jobs in the political world, but man, would the Puerto Ricans be proud of her!) maybe governor (or senator) of NY State. Also she's too sexy to be president

Picking on people who have the least to fight back with, that's what bullies do. It's also the right-wing's go-to tactic, promoted by Roger Ailes, founder and evil mentor of Fox cable channel. Then when they start losing they pivot to "the defense of children" which, other their their own valued offspring, they couldn't give a rat's tail about. Other than what their own hypocritical religious leaders have to say about it, most of them would probably prefer MORE women would get abortions if they are non-white: they abandon any concern for the newborn child the moment it takes in air. I'm waiting for someone to come up with a statistic that the number of abortions are disproportionately performed on non-white women -- that just might cause them to never mention abortion again. I'm holding fast to my opinion that this "drag queen story hour" was something concocted by the right so they have something to point and scream at: "look what they're doing to our children!"

Try it again right after she shaves down there . . .

So do I, in theory. But when I try my stomach gives up within a minute.

Does UK still have that thing with Nepal about Gurkha soldiers fighting for the Crown? Stories were that when the Argie troops spotted them during the war in the 1980s they sh_t their pants and ran away, such is their reputation. I lived in Arg a bit in the '00 decade. At least once a week there was something in the newspapers regarding the war (20 years past at the time): a monument, a speech assuring mothers their sons did not die in vain, a movie, even a new holiday. So yeah, it's 40 years now and still festering. The conventional wisdom at the time was Arg started the war to distract the citizens from the economic problems. Now, it looks like they see weakness within UK, and are acting on it. Kind of ironic that this time it could be the Brits getting the distraction advantage from the confrontation.

. . . and then you see this sign that says "plate of shrimp" . . .

It's going to be fun seeing the posts that defend this craziness.

I know that I am a human because I just took a test that had to do with pictures of buses and I passed. I had to study long hours to get that passing grade. Man woman person camera television: hey, I'm on my way to a Ph.D!

This can be ploy to drag out the Santos case. Kevin wants to keep him for the vote, and various members of the House (some of which are GOP) want him tossed out. Ethics committee could easily stretch it out to year's end. Then begins an election year, awww, might as well let him ride it out but no re-election. Kevin comes off as smart as a traffic pylon, but there is something ticking in there.

It looks like there are elements at work to turn this into another right-wing crazytown conspiracy https://www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/2023/02/fox-news-weaponizes-the-east-palestine-train-derailment-for-the-white-grievance-crowd/ As if these things aren't bad enough, these morons have to make it worse for all involved, just so they can make $$$ selling ads.

If their prerogative is to avoid Russia they may just find another country, preferably one with a better visa deal and not buddies with Vlad.

VICE keeps an eye on Flynn, they even covered his tent revivals (well, tried to). I don't know if he will run himself or be someone's guided-by-Jesus pitbull. Does anyone know what the deadline is to sign up for GOP primaries? Couldn't get a proper answer when I searched.

This officer on the left has his own unique style of pointing, bravo! He likes this message so much he's pointing at it.

Someone I know who is a MA fan told me her hubby was reluctant to buy a big screen TV, she convinced him by explaining that SS was now too fat to fit on a regular screen.

"How dare you call my girlfriend a prostitute?! She's a farm girl from East Ham!" What was that, honey? "Oh, I mean Issan."

Easy enough to get rid of them: shut the place down, drive them to the airport, blacklist them with immigration. Anything worth anything is sequestered, especially bank accounts.

A man is judged by the company he keeps.

Considering that there is a day in Mardi Gras/Carnivale week when the men dress as women (well, in Brazil at least) it's not a far stretch. Ask conservative politician George Anthony Devolder Santos to explain it to you. Like, you don't have to be Irish to be in the St Paddy's Day parade. Who doesn't want to join a party on a day that celebrates public drunkedness?

It changed on the weekend of August 12, 2017, a celebration that included a torchlight night rally and some good ol' boy intentionally running his car into demonstrators, killing one. Elvis Costello? This one was written in 1977 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWZ32XIsZIU As for Dilbert guy, ever seen him interviewed? Smug, condescending little sheet. In his superior knowledge he knew doing this would kick up a fuss, no surprises.

What I'd like to see is Fox (and Fox Biz) ordered by the FCC to run a chyron to the effective of "WARNING: the information in this program may not be true!" And today brings this: https://www.rawstory.com/fox-news-dominion-ban/ The word is recusal, Howard. I have no doubt you would be using the word frequently if another news entity was in a similar position.

I came across this https://www.insider.com/6-myths-surrounding-the-kyle-rittenhouse-trial-debunked-2021-11 (for this post I'll take the claims of this article as true and complete -- this provision will expire when I hit "Submit Reply") With a good attorney team there is a lot of potential for civil cases with this incident. For example: Rittenhouse testified that he and Black went downtown because they were invited to guard the Car Source, a Kenosha car dealership, during the unrest and were under the impression they were going to be paid. The Khindri brothers who own the dealership denied this under oath, but multiple other witnesses testified against them, backing Rittenhouse's version. [cue up Bette Midler singing "oh ya gotta have friends"] Too many "huh?" factors in this. All this stuff about possession and ownership of the gun is a can of worms in itself. After the trial, the kid asked for his gun back, the reply was a quick and unmitigated NO. This is a far cry from giving the innocent kid a pat on the head, handing him back his weapon and "off you go, lad." I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a retrial, I think the potential civil cases could pile up so that every cent he makes in his life is going to be monitored and payment extracted. He's already dodging the subpoena for civil case #1. Maybe he should attend college in Hungary, or Russia. I'm sure DT would be happy to provide a letter of recommendation.

Yea I imagined you would, how does that not surprise me Gotta wonder who told him that.

Did he really make billions selling pillows? Were these pillows made in South America and then imported to the US? Anyone check what they were stuffed with?

Keep an eye on this kid, he's going to kill again. And why not? He knows how to get away with it, all he has to do is cry. The trial stank, if there was any corruption it was in his favor. And he now has friends, visits them in places like Mar-A-Lago, and is lauded as a hero at conservative gatherings. Go to any shopping mall in the US, you'll see kids manipulating their parents just like KR played the courtroom. I saw a nephew do it lots of times when he was younger. Once he was telling me he didn't get the position he wanted on a school team and was disappointed. I asked him if he tried crying, and he blushed as red a beet. Actually a pretty dumb move by Jr. When Dinesh d'Souza said he knew Obama was sneaking around outside his house the conservative interviewer knew better than to ask him to elaborate.

Really?
