Hey, it IS a golden age…for Trump. He’s President, he gets to watch TV all day and golf all the time, he’s making billions more than he ever made in his life, Congress and the SCOTUS lets him do whatever he wants (and smack down those who object), he can commit any crime he wants and he has total immunity, he’s surrounded by sycophants who compete to flatter him the most shamelessly, billionaires compete for his favor, he renames anything he wants and says anything he wants and the press meekly follows along, he has huge rallies where he can spew any nonsense that comes into his head and his followers will laugh and applaud, and he has the Oval Office covered in tacky gold crap.
It is HIS golden age (and he doesn’t care about anybody else).
I didn’t want Pappas to win. He’s a solid Democratic establishment tool, with no real chops besides being gay (and association with the chicken tender thing). He voted for the Laken Riley Act. He takes AIPAC $$$. He’s the Wonder Bread of the party. I wanted Mansur, who has guts and cojones and wants to give us healthcare and impeach Grampa Assmouth. BUT…of course I’ll vote for Pappas on Nov, because fuck the GOP.
The non-comments suggest to me that there are a lot of New Hampshire skeptics out there, and I'm not sure why. It's a beautiful place, with both mountains and a smidge of ocean front. And if you go you should stay at my friend's inn.
Why is it that such beautiful countryside always has such raging asshats living there? Seems to be true all over the USA - California's Shasta County (northern) is lovely, but you will NOT get along with your neighbors. Northern Idaho. Most of Montana. Wyoming and Utah. Western Colorado. The entire Appalachians. Et miserable cetera. Why?
Lots of lakes also too. I never made it to Tuckerman's, and now assume global warming has kind of wrecked its summer skiing. I will be in Rye end of sept, early october. That is on the smidge.
Nope. She says Pappas needs to listen to the concerns of the people who voted for her, not disregard them because they didn’t “win.” That’s a smart way to get those folks onboard, not disenfranchised if she just shrugs and says “Vote blue no matter who.”
This story made me think of Star Wars, the thing I truly hate about the plot is that the fate of the universe always comes back to this one family, everyone of any influence turns out to be a brother or sister or whatever.
OT A thousand apologies to our Wonkette friends in Australia. In it's effort to become a legitimate sport and not just a vehicle to sell beer, boner pills, and gambling sites, the NFL has
subjected them to a game in Melbourne tonight. I was gonna hope it was a good game to showcase, but then they probably won't know the difference anyway. My advice is only that if something occurs to change the course of the game for whichever team, do not be concerned, do not worry or exchange expletives in haste. But simply wait 5 to 10 minutes for a hungover, jet lagged old man watch it over and over and over again from 37 different cameras, and then to decide if, the play as called, actually occurred, or not, will count, or not, and have a do over, or not.
Fear not, this gives you time to go to the bathroom, get a snack, a beverage, check your phone.
At this time the wise man would serve his wife food and beverage, as this is only Week 1, of a very long ass season. And one should try to stay married. Most of the time.
To take what would be an important game for either team to win and turn it into a contest on which team does international travel better, is a disservice to the teams and the fans.
They have rugby league and Aussie rules, both of which have far more egregious issues than the NFL...and cricket, which also has video replay officiating
Ta, Dok. I don't know how anyone, anywhere expects things to change if they can't be bothered to vote. When I was 15, I was carrying petitions door-to-door to get 18-year-olds voting rights. Congress listened and responded; the first year I could vote was when I turned 18 in 1972. No, we did not defeat Nixon in that election; the war dragged on, and finally, when he knew he'd be impeached and convicted, Tricky Dick resigned. I thought then that it was criminal for Ford to pardon him; I believe that still. My point is that voting is not an every-four-years experience when we're choosing a president (or having one chosen for us). I vote in every D primary and every general, every year without fail. I always shall. I, however, have it easy. I just have to walk around the corner to vote and that walk takes less than five minutes. If I want to vote early, it's a 15 minute walk. Please understand the assignment. When we vote, we WIN!!
Trump Cabinet official appears to try and swat congresswoman’s rear as she takes stage
The moment in question came as HUD Secretary Scott Turner left the stage at the Republican Party’s midterm convention in Texas
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner appeared to swat at Representative Anna Paulina Luna’s rear end on Wednesday as they crossed paths at the Republican Party’s midterm convention in Texas.
As Turner left the stage, he was filmed swiping his arm down and backwards as Luna passed by.
In the clip, Luna does not appear to visibly react to Turner’s movement and continues towards the microphone.
The Independent has contacted Luna and HUD for comment.
“Sec. of HUD Scott Turner appears to attempt to slap the behind of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna when exiting the stage,” political analyst Rachel Bitecofer wrote on X of the moment.
"Small business" grifters, like unemployed suburban lawyers, gobbled all that up. Paid for by people who actually work for a living, i.e. Blue Staters.
But is is in the mail already. OK, it is the same mail that threatens to disappear all my state's ballots, but ... but ... OK, perhaps the checks will never get here.
Ray Davis? I always did like the Kinks.
Can't he just go back to modeling?

He’s living the dream.
For the rest of us, it’s a nightmare.

Have some lobstah for me.
The loser says Pappas needs to "earn" her support? Otherwise she'll support thr Republican or not vote? Truly a loser.
Yeah, she ... didn't say that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOuHIi7OOqA
Are you saying that more conservative AIPAC-supported Democrats should just take the votes of more progressive voters for granted ...?
Nope. She says Pappas needs to listen to the concerns of the people who voted for her, not disregard them because they didn’t “win.” That’s a smart way to get those folks onboard, not disenfranchised if she just shrugs and says “Vote blue no matter who.”
All the talk about Sununus makes me want to write a nasty palindrome.
Scott Brown? World-famous as a lazy, no-account, do-nothing grifter.
In other words, a model Republican.
he pimped his own daughters on national tv. stupid man.
Not pedo or closet enough. Loser.

he's former sportball. after tim scott's speech he might think that's something he can get away with as long as he says "good game".
This is double plus pathetic because-
A. It's tacky as hell.
B. HE MISSED! At point blank range, which is so Republican.
She has a nice heinie!
pass
she might. the (R) behind her name kind of ruins it for me.
He should be credited for moderation and restraint. He did not yell "Show us your tits!"
at least not on hot mic
Mics are "Hot!"
Please. People have done worse to that ass' ass.
So now on top of the $5000 check Poopy Pants will give a $500 rebate check to everyone on Obamacare...
https://apnews.com/article/trump-obamacare-aca-healthcare-rebates-5fea0b182d64b4d7966e0ec7af276e92
That's a bit cheap for him...
A $500 rebate check? That's buy a month's prescription of some vital medication, I'm sure.
It won't buy way too many of them, alas. But grandma could afford her insulin and blood pressure meds a bit better.
"The check is in the mail!"
no "obamaphones"?
Still waiting on my DOJE savings check!
And Sorosbux!
And Covid lockdown money, pretty sure I never saw any of that.
"Small business" grifters, like unemployed suburban lawyers, gobbled all that up. Paid for by people who actually work for a living, i.e. Blue Staters.
I never did either!
that's ok, the check will bounce!
But is is in the mail already. OK, it is the same mail that threatens to disappear all my state's ballots, but ... but ... OK, perhaps the checks will never get here.
Starting to think this Trump guy may be a little dishonest
Some of his statements are questionable. There may be controversy or even disagreement with some of the things he says.
Certainly not on the up-and-up.
In other words, he ain't got no healthcare plan of his own to offer. In two weeks.
This *is* his healthcare plan!
$500 is about 60% of my monthly ACA premium. (Thank gawd I get a big subsidy!?)
The Dems need to offer FREE healthcare for everyone and let them suck on that.
They should! And Free Big Mac Combos on Voting Tuesdays!
