I acknowledge that the former Mrs 🦡🍄🐍, while a not-nice person in so many ways, did teach me a lesson which has stuck. When an apology is issued for how the other person feels, not for anything you did, it means absolutely nothing. It’s like saying “I’m sorry that you got hurt when that rock I threw hit you in the head.”
When I was a youth I roofed a few houses. It's hard work under a blazing sun and/ or freezing cold. I doubt that Blevins has ever been on a roof. He seems more the type to stand around on the ground complaining about how lazy his workers are.
Weird thing just happened - fell off into a nap, dreamed about the (originally) Chad Mitchell Trio, which morphed into the Mitchell Trio w/John Denver. Go to YouTube, where there are several versions of “Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood KKK”, one of which was performed on the Merv Griffin Show.
Regrettably, the lyrics - from the 60s - could have been written by Dok last night.
I love the Chad Mitchell Trio. Chad formed that group in the early 60s at Gonzaga, a few years before I got there. Chad still lives in Spokane, and my sister occasionally does some needle work for him. The Super Skiier song is awesome. And as you say, Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood KKK.
They can only manufacture so many outrage tropes, so they use the same ones over and over until they've beaten the life out of it, then resume whacking it with a stick to revive it. It's not as if there was the slightest merit to the accusation on the macro (Federal) level, why should its reuse on the micro level make any sense?
It's the Enid, OK city council. I'd be stunned that there was any press involved at all, at least for the first election, which, let's remember, garnered fewer than 1000 votes.
Speaking of Nazis, Jeff Tiedrich shares a clip of a member of Maine's House of Representatives asking "What did the Nazis do that was wrong?" Yes, there's more to it than that, but wow.

“so let’s talk about the Nazis … I would like to know what they did that was illegal. I would like to know what they did — in detail, if folks would like to share — that was wrong, that infringed on another person’s right. holding a rally, and even holding a rally with guns is not illegal.”
whoa. all right, Laurel’s defending a bunch of neo-Nazi shitnozzles who marched through her town, and not the Nazi Nazis from World War II — presumably, even Laurel knows what they did wrong — but holy shit, Laurel, the optics here are nasty.
don’t ever defend Nazis — of any kind. and for fuck’s sake, don’t ever let the words “what did the Nazis do that was wrong” ever come out of your mouth. that I even have to say this out loud shows just how far off the rails the Republican Party has gone.
It's OK to be just a little fascisty. Right? We know that Hitler was not really a bad guy, just maligned by WOKE leftists. Right? Same aa Mr. Trump. Right?
Quit trying to be sensible, Doesn't play well with the MAGA. We're all preaching to the choir here, and like me, many of us have been permanently banned from "conservative" sites.
Likewise. I'm permanently banned from Breitbart for simply not agreeing 100% with Trump policies These people absolutely refuse to even talk to anyone outside of the cult.
Trump followed Hitler's playbook almost to the letter in his attempt to illegally seize power. He came dangerously close to succeeding. yet here he comes again for another stab at it, being cheered on by millions of Americans. WTF is wrong with people?

Dawn Staley, coach of the undefeated Gamecocks, 1996 gold medalist, hall of fame player and coach has come out in favour of full and free trans participation in women's sports.
It's going to be a hell of a game between USC and Iowa tomorrow, but the right wing MAGAsses are going to do their best to make this about some 8th grade trans dork who likes lacrosse rather than the epic stakes on the line with USC looking to cap an undefeated regular season with a national championship while Caitlin Clark is looking to grab the only bit that's been lacking on her college basketball resume.
The good news is that I've always liked Staley, and with this in the air, well, I can't lose, can I?
My Father carried scars of wounds inflicted by Nazi soldiers to the end of his life, as did my Father in-law I have relatives who I never met because they were murdered in the camps before I was born. I have zero tolerance for anyone embracing Nazi ideals or displaying the Swastika flag. They anger me to the point of physical violence.
My gp's on dad's side were Czech. I am learning a lot about that country. In the town of Lidice in Czechia, nazi's killed all the men, women, and children, except for a few young girls saved for "Germanisation". Some rounded up and shot there, others gassed later. They leveled the town. This as retaliation for an assassination they incorrectly said was planned by people there. Seems "illegal" to me.
Definitely, must have been his concern about rural roads, and how the Autobahn would have been much better. I'm sure he wrote elsewhere about train schedules and how important SOME people thought it was to have them "run on time"
I am compelled to share (and with a high measure of pride) that the local paper in Enid endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president in 2016 (after endorsing Rubio in the republican primary).

Same. Brutally hard work.
Not “ish.” Either a Nazi or not, no gray areas or upsides when discussing Nazis. He is a Nazi.
Ta, Dok. Very. Fine. People. Indeed.

I love the idea someone whining about th “deep state” in a town of 1400.

Tell it like it is Revenant: “…resume fucking that chicken…”
Once he was elected.
So, like Trumpkin, the press just ignored the shady past and pushed him as a good ol conservative?

"He just took it too far", right? Wasn't that Candace Owens what said that?
Umm, how can you have a "Deep State" in a town of like, 50,000 people? Would that be like 5 guys at the coffee shop and the local dog catcher?

I still hold it as a badge of honour that I managed to get banned from Breitbart in under an hour once.
Likewise. I'm permanently banned from Breitbart for simply not agreeing 100% with Trump policies These people absolutely refuse to even talk to anyone outside of the cult.
I refuse to talk to them, too.
what's the point? you are collecting all the stupid shit people have said to you for a massively depressing volume of American Dumbth?

Thom Hartmann just wrote something on the topic: "Now We Know How Hitler Did It"
https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/hartmann-trump/?utm_source=superhead
Fkn pay wall.
It originally appeared on his Substack. Have a free linky!
https://hartmannreport.com/p/now-we-know-how-hitler-did-it-544
I knew how he did it and wrote a 40 page paper on it in 1972. If you've seen
Trump, you've seen Hitler, but I get called an irrational alarmist. So di d people in Germany in 1932
Well!

More excellent sports reporting. Well done leaning in to your new role around these parts!

Same with my dad. Sent home after Salerno, Italy with shrapnel in his leg. We have his book on what the 157th Infantry did. Liberated Dachau!
