Kari Lake loses court case on results of November election
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
She should have stuck with daytime TV talk shows, as she was born to do. Her stolen election allegiance will follow her to the grave, just like that US basketball player who said the Earth was flat and recently shown himself as an anti-semite. Unless she adds even more crazy to her crazy. We can have a contest to see who can predict what part of the right-wing babblesphere she'll be in between now and Nov. 5, 2024. -
I haven't been following this so don't have the details. Where is the machine now and can/should it be returned? As for clinging to straws, do not think for moment that there is no possibility the Republicans will re-open the Benghazi inquisition. If the "Hillary emails" is brought up again (it's still on DT's playlist) it will be much to the GOP's own detriment regarding "foreign influence" in the 2016 election -- in fact, I hope they do it. All that stuff with Roger Stone, Assange (who was somehow involved in the reveal), and the Barr-intercepted Mueller Report needs to be held up to the light. If Smith is the baadass we're being led to believe he is he will find threads connecting the election denial to 2016. Barr has been doing a lot of TV since Smith got appointed, mostly trying to gaslight things he said while AG. I'm waiting for: DT: I'm calling for an investigation into Hillary's 12,000* emails! Smith: Hey, good idea! Well, Donny, how did YOU find out about them? * you know he has a problem with raising numbers.

Certain current events might make a person wonder just how much this guy's judgement can be relied upon. So when he talks about the safety of his self-driving vehicles . . . -

Another woman unsatisfied because of a lost erection. Of wait, let me read the OP again. -
Has the bomb been up there since WWI ?

As a public service for those who have trouble keeping track of the minor players, Andrew Clyde was one of the people barricading the doors of the House chamber on that day. He was also the one who later described the redneck rampage as "well-behaved tourists." https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/05/18/andrew-clyde-capitol-insurrection-photographer-tom-williams-newday-sot-vpx.cnn Seems like ol' Clyde is living in fear of the Orange Countenance. Or maybe he knows Jordan is a 2-faced bootlick.

Waiting for previously-broadcasted vids of him saying just the opposite. With the holidays and the impending weather siege threatening North America we might have to wait until January for them. He's just trying to cover his backside, pretty obvious. On the other hand one thing news reporters, generally, are loathe to do is propel another reporter to become the story, especially those of the rabid right-wing. But entertainment is where you find it, and one of my fave of such remarks is Limbaugh when he would say of Bill O'Reilly (remember him?) "He's Ted Baxter." Second fave is when Katie Couric who, upon learning Diane Sawyer (who was one of Nixon's gang) just got a scoop on something or other, said "who did she blow this time?" Special mention to Chris Hayes, who has no qualms about sticking it to Tucker.

Jeremy Clarkson says he is 'horrified' over Meghan column

Has Meghan run off with Kanye yet? Maybe next season. -
Malaria SBET and other travel kit meds available in Thailand
bendejo replied to wn78's topic in Health and Medicine
There is a tropical disease research lab that is part of Mahidol Univ, near Victory Monument. Once when preparing to travel to a remote part of Indonesia I went there for malaria pills. Apparently they don't get many farang, and the only person they could dig up to speak English with me was a young research doctor, the receptionist was embarrassed to summon him. He was reluctant at first, but then gave me them. I asked about mosquito repellents and he laughed, said nothing else works the way DEET does. This was nearly 20 years ago, so things may have changed. On google maps there is a "Thai Travel Clinic," it's all between the monument and the elevated expressway. -
It's like you flood your property just for the sake of it overflowing into your neighbor's place and seeing his stuff get ruined. Great for a laugh. The you realize you've ruined your own home too. Weird thing about the MAGA voters is they think their owns lives will be made better because they voted for him and the rest of the populace will not -- I never understood how they think that will work. All part of the con, I guess. And then the day when a relative dies of Covid you'll hear "this isn't supposed to happen to us!" Stupid is as stupid does, mom used to say. (quoting Forrest Gump)

Worship! That's the magic word! Whenever a Republican becomes president the evangelicals declare that it happened because God wanted it to. It started with Reagan in the 1980s even though he spurned them and their agenda. The GOP and right-wing media work together to redefine trigger words. Whenever there is a GOP victory it is a mandate, even if they win by only 1%. A patriot is someone who wants to pick up arms and destroy democracy. But back to Bible tropes, isn't there something about the worship of a "golden calf"? http://openyoureyespeoplebreakingnews.com/2021/02/26/idol-worship-massive-statue-of-trump-golden-calf-trends-after-wheeled-and-celebrated-into-cpac-conference/

The problem is UK needs more television game shows to keep these guys employed and off the streets. -
House Jan. 6 committee announces it is sending criminal referrals to DOJ
bendejo replied to Scott's topic in World News
And to think, it only took 2 years to get this far! Actually, 6 years is more like it. My own conjecture here, I think Garland (and Biden) stalled on going after them so as not to appear like a banana republic (not to be confused with a Banana Republicans) -- e.g. a few weeks ago in Peru they impeached the president and he was immediately arrested. The GOP stalwarts are saying this makes the country look bad, but we're already there, people in other countries have been asking how we can let this guy get away with it. On foreign policy alone the way DT treated the European leaders and allowed Putin to do to him whatever it was that makes him so submissive apparently sent a stronger message to the world than to 35% of the voters in the US. -
Musk sets up Twitter poll asking if he should step down as head
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in World News
I'm waiting for the grand slam, where in a single edict he banishes millions at a time. Failing his way to success, whatever the hell he defines it at. Keep an eye on the investor uprising brewing at the car company. Hey, this is one instance where you can tell someone to "go back to Africa" and not be called a racist. -
Musk sets up Twitter poll asking if he should step down as head
bendejo replied to webfact's topic in World News
A month or two ago there was an article (in Atlantic, maybe?) saying he was somewhat of a go-between for Putin in Ukraine. The day after that was published he distanced himself from it, issued a statement. So yes, I think he hangs on to what's being reported about him with the same zeal as DT and responds even sillier at times. So, the world needs a new Twitter, let the contenders line up. -

bendejo replied to webfact's topic in World News
He needs to hire someone with experience running a high-profile social media company. I know just the man for him, Devin Nunes! Impeccable MAGA credentials! Just look at him! -
You wish! Hey, no fair stealing my fantasy! I'd like to see him in the same position Snowden was in when his passport was suddenly revoked. I have a feeling his cheerleaders have been preparing a safe landing place for him in Hungary. CPAC had one of their hate fests there a few months ago: for those of us who have known them as the love it or leave it party this is a mental warp. Supposedly Melania has been running an NFT business, no idea what she's been peddling. Him reminding the world "I'm really rich" while running a $99 scam is a textbook example of gaslighting.
