'You're kind of raised to hate tourists' I checked out Hawaii decades ago. I wasn't there to be a conqueror, buy real estate, ravish their women etc. I was a backpack traveler on an airline stopover. People called me the Hawaiian word for outsiders that is as respectful as that word for dark people that begins with N. Yeah, nice folks.

But on the other hand, can you really trust a guy with a handlebar moostache?

I don't know if she's a witch, but she is one smokin' Gunn. Anna Gunn from Breaking Bad. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................................... And next week will be infrastructure week. This guy is so bold he would hold up a blank sheet of paper and say "it's all here" and when you tell him it's blank he'll tell you to get your glasses checked. Pillow Guy was doing this every few weeks for a while, e.g. "Tuesday at noon all will be revealed and DT will be immediately restored as president blah blah . . ."

When they are handing out cash it affects reasoning, especially for people who don't have much.

Should have tossed the refrigerator off the balcony and left it at that.

I suspect money laundering was involved. I think that the former president with myriad indictments did a lot of that before he officially entered politics in June 2015. That never-finished high-rise building in Baku that looks like lady parts is believed to be part of the enterprise. There are Russians in the mix there as well. But as for Comer, IMO his real motivation for this statement is he doesn't want the MAGA frothing-at-the-mouth crowd coming after him and his.

Recall back in 2021 when the DT cabal was assessing how they would handle legal charges, it was leaked (by Don Jr, I think) that Meadows was being set up as the fall guy. (Ironically, on the fictional series Succession, at that time, the same problem was being dealt with.) Let's see if he returns the favor. Miz Willis announced at the press conference that all those named have until Friday the 25th to turn themselves in, after that the warrants go out.

Two women known to be feminist stalwarts having a laugh, probably sharing a "how many men does it take to screw in a light bulb?" joke. I watched that while it was broadcast live. No, they did not laugh at the mention that DT got indicted again. Hillary was scheduled to be on before news of the Atlanta grand jury came out -- they were promoting the interview over the previous weekend, Clinton's first interview since the initial indictments came in. It was a 20 minute interview and you can tell the two were purposefully trying to look grave about the breaking news, Hillary saying how it is a sad day for the country, etc. It usually works out that the MSNBC reporters/pundits keep a poker face while the F-channel is full of smirks and creepy clown smiles: who can forget Tucker's phony laugh? Oh Hillary, if only you had followed up on that "Putin's puppet" remark at the debate back in 2016!

Sure Donnie, tell us about how generous and gracious you were to Puerto Rico after their hurricane disaster.

I got a laugh out of this: One letter off from the word he desperately wants to use

A "witch hunt" means that there is no witch, they are looking for something that does not exist. The Hunter Biden laptop quest, now in its second year and still nothing found -- now THAT is a witch hunt. I think even Comer is tired of having to make things up (the witches) and then have to be the face of his latest cockamamie fictitious accusations. When you find a real witch that is called catching a criminal. Which is why in Georgia, and DC, and Florida, and New York, the suspect and his goons are indicted. Stay tuned for Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Nevada, and God's Own state of Arizona. Popular like dengue.

Election or erection? No matter, same same.

If they are there at their own volition, with no blackmail or threat to themselves or their relatives, they can walk away. Nothing to rescue them from. What they will do for their livelihood they must figure out on their own, like everyone else who is not living off their parents' wealth.

ding ding ding ding!!!! We have a winner! Trump may have given judge reason to jail him with attack on witness: legal expert Good ol' DT, I knew he'd come through! I suggest three nights in US government accommodations. If he does it again when he gets out he gets another week. If he does it yet again the entire bail release goes out the window and he stays in the cage at least until the trial is over and the jury rules. And if that happens then you can bet your booty his team will no longer be requesting delays. Next step is the judge notifies his lawyers she needs to see them "and bring the [expletive] defendant with you."

Fear not, the defendant will be in good hands. Convicted J6 rioters joking about what cell Trump will be placed in after his DC indictment: report

No, that Dylan thing is completely mine. I read that interview a few months after the Paul thing, couldn't help thinking of it. And I do recall being over a friend's house listening to John Wesley Harding the first time (first album after the motorcycle accident), thinking "what is this [bleep]?" Mills, IMO, is a bit goofy, wouldn't take her word on anything regarding her ex, and not his either.

That Paul is Dead stuff was in 1969, disappeared as fast as it came up, and was never mentioned again (I was in NYC, and the basement Mets suddenly won the pennant and then the Series, so for Noo Yawkas the Paul stuff became as pertinent as recalling yesterday's lunch). But it was a lot of fun. Never thought of looking beyond it to Wings. I was suspecting no one would know what I was getting at in my post. Story was that Bob Dylan was bashed up in a motorcycle accident, it was when 'Blonde on Blonde' was the current album. The stuff he put out afterwards was nothing like his previous stuff and, for me at least, was unappreciated. In 1969 Rolling Stone mag did an interview with him, the first in years (it must be on the net somewhere). Asked things like "what were you referring to with the lyric ____ ?" He kept answering "did I write that? I don't recall." (cut me some slack here, it's been 50+ years since I read it) So if you are looking for clues about dead rock stars being clandestinely replaced

Not to distract from the intellectual discourse (smirk!) of a flat-Earth discussion . . . There were a few novels of the 1970s that gave fairly descriptive (and non-fictional) ways to establish a new identity, and also a how-to on faking your own death. This knowledge was so effective it caused many countries to alter their methods of allowing access to birth and death records. That said I think there was a good chance Morrison faked his own death, and not long after so did his wife. I don't see this as a grand conspiracy, just a way to exit the fishbowl of fame. Of course they may have actually died in the 50 years since. But back to the matter at hand: the remaining three Beatles threw Paul McCartney off the edge in 1965 because they were sick of his wah-wah, chronicled in the George Harrison song.

The people in the media are on "insult watch" just waiting for his nibs to blow it. Don't think Fox would balk at being the ones to take credit for the scoop. Maybe Chuktan will transfer the case to juvenile court.

Contrast that with the guy who put together that tiki-torch rally in Charlottesville in 2017. We was full of rhetoric about shedding blood etc but when they showed up at his house the following week to take him in he cried and was all "I didn't mean any of that stuff!" etc. The right is looking for more courageous examples. Keep an eye out for the part about the crazy old geezer pointing his gun at the agents, that part is disappearing from right-wing media as we speak. He will become the innocent victim, just as is the leader of his movement having his First Amendment rights etc , , ,

Kind of odd, in some other countries it is the trans that are beat up by thugs. In LOS the trans are the thugs. Maybe there isn't much demand for their services these days if this is what is becoming of them. As for India they have a chaste of their own; I wouldn't say they were respected but they are usually left in peace. Perhaps this Indian fellow spoke with them because he didn't see them as some sort of threat.

The first time I was eligible to vote in a presidential election was Nixon vs McGovern. I didn't want either, but that's all they give ya. I didn't vote in a presidential election until 1988. And then not until 2008. Up until the 1990s the Dems and the GOP were not all that different.

Better to read the unredacted Mueller report than Barr's corrupted Cliff's Notes version.

Neil Young releases 'lost' 1977 album 'Chrome Dreams' It's out, dl-ing it now, haven't heard it yet. He also released a live acoustic album from the 1970s some years back.
