Mike Pence subpoenaed by special counsel overseeing Trump probes: Sources
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
Back when Dick Cheney was acting president and getting out of hand his team stated the VP was not part of the Legislative branch, nor the Executive branch. I wasn't able to follow it closely, but I don't think anyone figured out how to rein him in. The thing I'll always remember Pence for is during the Covid epidemic, when asked why he didn't wear a mask, he said it was because he wanted to be able to look people eye. Need it be pointed out the masks did not cover the eyes? He should leave politics and go into the fertilizer business. -
And so the clown car begins to load up. Well, JT, I'm trying to keep with your "everyone loves a fat man" approach to the GOP primaries. Do you think losing so much weight has ruined Pompeo's chances? If Nikki added a few inches to her hips would it up her chances? The nomenclatures collide sometimes: yeah she's conservative, but a female US president? That's pretty damn progressive, no?

I don't know where this was taken, but I can tell you NYC and San Francisco no man doing drag would be caught dead in those shoes! -

Ever been to Walking Street in Pattaya? European families, with pre-teen kids, going into the open-front girlie/dance bars, posing for pics with katoeys on the street. -

Another ploy to buy time for the orange messiah, same-o same-o. The guy has no spine. There's a clip of him being interviewed that I keep coming across, the whole while he is moving his feet in a very nervous manner. Why is someone who is so religious so nervous? Jumpin' Jack Flash doing the boogaloo right in his chair. Refusing to leave The Capitol on 1/6 was his finest hour, don't expect any more of him. I doubt that Smith is going to put things on "hold" while Pence stalls. BTW, that business about DT grabbing the steering wheel on 1/6? I don't buy it. He told his minion to say that happened to convince the saps who did the attack he was with them, while he was in the safety of the WH. -

There was a place in NYC called Club 82. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_82 An old-time vaudeville-style dancing girls review. All the dancers were men in drag, except for one natural-born woman -- part of the experience was to try to spot her. Who were the clients? NYC working-class housewives! They would charter buses and get shirtfaced drunk and whoop it up for a few hours. Other cities will have the same kind of places with the same clientele. One night on the way to the Fillmore East (a few blocks away from it) with a friend we passed the place, a bunch of empty buses parked outside, and he said his mother was there that night with her ladies' club. We were both teenagers at the time, scratched our heads in wonder of why housewives would enjoy such a show. I guess the answer was they were able to get drunk and stupid without caring about what men would think of them. No children involved, no one under 18 admitted. -
Flying taxis could be with us sooner than you think!

I think one of them got shot down over N. America yesterday. -
Remove your rings or else this could happen!
bendejo replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Took auto shop in high school. There was 15 pages of safety rules, and at the beginning of each semester each student had to write out the rules, in the classroom. Legalities, I guess. I remember the thing about rings when handling batteries. Be extra sure to keep the wound clean until it's fully healed. Best of luck. -
How about DNA tests where it must be proven the two people are not closely related? That would truly shake up the MAGA world. As comedian Jeff Foxworthy says "if you think a family reunion would be a good place to find a wife you just might be . . . " For those unfamiliar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RboPCdiP_AI

I think what he really wanted from this was to have her mention his name at the SB (the SB gets the highest viewer rating of any TV show in the US). Haven't kept track of this, but I hope she doesn't take the bait. He's looking for a b_tch fight with her so he can get money from his rabble, and he particularly likes picking on women, people of color, and foreigners/immigrants. Three bases covered with this one! Does anyone know if he does his own hair and makeup? When he was in the WH it was reported that he wakes up early fusses with himself for hours, emerging from his rooms camera-ready in mid-morning.

China Spots Unidentified Object Flying Near Port City: Paper

If Mickey Mouse is on the balloon it's probably came Japan. If it's Hello Kitty probably Taiwan. If it's a written diatribe (translated) probably North Korea. -
Russian soldier death rate highest since first week of war - Ukraine
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in The War in Ukraine
Biden should make a statement, and SMS it out to all the people in Russia that if Putin ends the war in Ukraine he will let McDonalds reopen in Russia and on it's first day everything will be free. It will ignite the Second People's Revolution. The billion dollars it would cost would be much more effective than spending it on weaponry, let Defense Dept cover it. -

Suddenly so much fervor regarding weather research! Why don't they just use weather web sites like everyone else? -
Biden has yet to say just how he would strengthen Social Security and Medicare trust funds How about "do," which is much more effective than "say"? Bringing this issue to light in the glare of the SOTU, attacking what the GOP has been trying to for the past 20+ years, well, that seems like a pretty effective move, no? It's pretty disgusting the way these creeps make these proposals and then when asked to speak about them they deny saying it. Like this guy: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/rick-scott-fox-news-taxes-medicare-social-security-1328178/ Spineless, deceitful, and cynical, the living embodiment of an old US sarcasm: flush twice, it's a long way to D.C.

It's about time someone in the judicial process called these grifters out. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan [ . . . ] has already complained multiple times about Trump's side dragging the case out with delay after delay. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-rape-case-former-president-finally-agrees-to-submit-dna-2023-2 So, if he dies before they convict him he's the winner, right?

Trump touts Pence as ‘honorable man’ in light of special counsel subpoena
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
IMO anyone who plays it that piously has something to hide. In any religion. -
It has become a cliche in US politics that those who are most vehemently anti-gay are revealed in compromising positions. On the straight side there was a certain state governor who built up his cred with firm anti-prostitution prosecution for those who patronize ladies of the night, later to be revealed that he spends loads of $$$ on escorts. Waiting to hear George Santos claim he frolicked with Mitt.

Absolutely. Look at some these paleo-conservative culture warriors seeking (or occupying) public office. A few years back they could care less about these things, now they are on the front-line in support. Two I could think of off-hand are Kari Lake and this Luna women who is suddenly in the spotlight: both were Obama boosters when they got into the politics game. It's easier to be a conservative, just do what you're told and vote (and support) the party line, raise funds, pocket your contributions and sit on your thumbs. Whatsat, you have ideas of your own? WRONG PARTY! When a Republican says "I care about children" it means they are anti-abortion; when the child is born it is then out of their field of vision, "people shouldn't have children unless they are prepared to take care of them." ummmm.... At the KBJ hearings Marsha Blackburn boldly stated "I care about children!" as if that uniquely makes her a hero. For those seeking fame and fortune in politics GOP/conservatism is the way to go. The toughest part of the job will be working the phones for fundraising -- GOP is really tough about this, they even send minions to grab Congress members when the session ends to "come across the street and work the phone". Even moneybags Mitt Romney has to do it, he expresses his hatred of this in the media occasionally. Unfortunately Christine Jorgensen is no longer with us to put these people in their place. Jorgensen toured university campuses and other venues to speak about her experiences. She was known for her directness and polished wit. She once demanded an apology from Vice President Spiro T. Agnew when he called Charles Goodell "the Christine Jorgensen of the Republican Party". Agnew refused her request.
