Wonkers, did you ever see the movie "The Cooler" with William H. Macy, Alex Baldwin and Maria Bello?
Macy plays a guy whose luck is always so bad it transfers to gamblers that are on a winning streak so the casino can recoup its money. Anyway, it made me think of JD Vance for some reason.
Next on "Truth Social" - "MY BEST FRIEND, VICTOR OARBON, LOST THE ELECTION BECAUSE OF AT&T AND THEIR TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE SELL PHONE SERVICE!!!! IF ONLY THE CALL WOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH, THINGS WOULD BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!! IT WANT THE DOJ TO DO A FULL INVESTIGATION AND INDITE ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS LOSS!!!!"

"On December 20, 1860, as soon as it was clear Abraham Lincoln had won the 1860 presidential election, South Carolina lawmakers had taken their state out of the Union. “The whole town [of Charleston] was in an uproar,” Elizabeth Allston recalled. “Parades, shouting, firecrackers, bells ringing, cannon on the forts booming, flags waving, and excited people thronging the streets.”
Mississippi had followed suit on January 9, 1861; Florida on January 10; Alabama on January 11; Georgia on January 19; Louisiana on January 26; and Texas on February 1. By the time Lincoln took the oath of office on March 4, 1861, seven southern states had left the Union and formed their own provisional government that protected human enslavement." -- Heather Cox Richardson
Can somebody explain to me why JD Vance was in Hungary speaking publicly Thursday night, and was due in Pakistan Saturday, and felt it necessary to fly back to Washington (a 9 hour flight) so that he could hit the ground there Friday, but also leave Washington Friday for a 14 hour (likely with a refueling) as he arrived in Pakistan in a different aircraft than he was seen in front of in DC? That sentence was run on in an attempt to mimic and emphasize the run-on nature of his running around the globe, all while jet fuel is becoming "unobtainium" status worldwide.
love your work, Marcie, but your facts on Boniface VIII are off. Philip IV's agent (William de Nogaret) attacked the pope at his palace of Anagni in Sept. 1303; the pontiff was beaten before French forces withdrew. Boniface died in Rome in October 1303. The Avignon papacy didn't begin until 1309. None of this factual correction, of course, exculpates That Guy's men from thuggishly using Avignon as a threat against the current pope.

1st JD Vance did in the pope, now he's done in Viktor Orban. Is some other wordly power in play here?
"People who do not believe in the future..."
Yeah, there's a lot of people who want to take us back... To have things like they imagine they used to be... To make country "GREAT AGAIN!"
“Except for the Pope maybe in Rome…” — I see what you did there! (From Joan Osborne, What if God Was One of Us)
The good news out of Hungary on Sunday shows voters repudiated the hateful ideas and proud ignorance of Vance, Trump, and Bannon.
May America and Israel follow their good sense.
More evidence that Vance has the anti-Midas touch.

So, rig their election in order for the unpopular autocrat to "win"?
I’m surprised Couch Fucker spent so much time in Hungary given how much he famously hates Europe.
I guess he makes an exception for the fascist parts of Europe.
They remind him of home.
"MAGA thought"? "MAGA"/"thought"? "MAGA...thought"? "MAGA" - "thought" = MAGA.

He thinks he's getting miles?
Carbon footprint. He's dedicated himself to showing that global warming due to human activities isn't a thing.

If I ever get married, I'm walking down the aisle to that Mel Blanc song.
"Important nodes in the constellation of MAGA thought."
That's it. That's the joke.
