Not sure if this story has been shared here yet, but Lil' Jon is not just a Creator of Bangers

During the midterms he was on tour and his absentee ballot didn't arrive in time so he FLEW HOME TO VOTE.

I held on pretty well until the young woman with the disabilities came on (I can’t even write about it without tearing up), hen I lost it completely. It was beautiful and love-affirming.

I’m glad that the Democrats finally took my advice and hired people with massive talent from the entertainment industry and beyond to do their messaging.

Your welcome.

Their first smart move was hiring a production team to orchestrate the public J6 hearings. Two hours of riveting hearings presented in such a way that you didn't realize how long you'd been sitting there watching when it was done.

Was that the same production team?

I knew the production team who did the convention also did the Oscars, but I didn't know it was the same team who also managed the J6 hearings. How did you find that out...?

I'm guessing that Neil Young will NOT be suing the DNC for playing Keep on Rocking in The Free World. Waiting for Taytay to hoover up the last of Trump's coffers in court for his theft.

I'm sure Neil Young will not be suing because the Convention managers *sought proper permissions first *.

The Foo Fighters and the Republicans, however ...

Walz specifically asked for permission and got it.

It's actually contractually required to seek a broadcast & performance license.

The Republicans break the rules so often, however, that their deviant behavior has become normalized.

Always ask the artists' (or music publishers') permission.

So, there is this guy that drives by my house everyday on his way to and from work and he honks his horn and flies whoever might be out in the yard the bird. Why, I do not know, but I suspect it is because of the political signs in the yard.

One day my brother was here and decided to follow the guy and it turned out that he knew him so he relayed the information to me. I didn't give it much thought. Well, he has stepped things up a bit and is now throwing his empty Starbucks slop bottles in the yard as he goes by. Since I know his name, I ran his name through the Wisconsin state docket and circuit court database website and voilà, his name came up for two separate counts of harassment. Keep in mind, I don't know the guy from Adam. I have never met him before. So, I've been collecting the bottles in a bag as they likely have his fingerprints all over them and the Authoritahs likely have them on file.

I'm still going to, with secrecy and stealth, attempt to follow him and try to get his license plate to confirm who he is and turn the information of to said Authoritahs. We are beyond the Fuck Around phase and are now moving on to the Find Out phase.

I think since your brother knows who this guy is, you have enough information to go to the police.

'Don't know him from Adam' is a great phrase.

Stronger still is “I don’t know him from Adam’s off ox.”

“Off ox” is the ox in a team of two that is on the side away from the drover. The other is called the “nigh” ox.

This is a perfect example of why I don't put up yard signs. The vandalism in 2016 and 2020 was a lot worse than littering and obscene gestures. Trespassing and property theft and damage were common around here.

Republicans don't believe Democrats have property rights when they disagree with them.

1) No need to follow him. Cameras fast enough to take a picture of a license plate triggered by a laser sensor are commercially available. If you can't find it yourself, lmk and I'll find it for you.

2) Once you collect a sufficient quantity of evidence, remember that you have no legal obligation to turn all of it over to authorities. Give the cops 1 or 2 bottles and return the rest in person.

There's a good deal of wonky polling stuff in there - but it all comes down to creating different messages for different audiences (as every good campaign does). Rally your base with messages about Freedom to Choose and all that, but remind the wishy-washy center, the "Never Trump" Republicans, et al. that if PAB and his cult win, this could be the last time they get to vote for a president....*cough* Project 2025 *cough*.....

There only was one Michael Jackson. The real one.

I saw Michael Jackson on the Thriller tour. Had seats eighth row on the floor.

It's hard to describe him. He had this presence that couldn't be ignored.

And, when he did the moonwalk in Billie Jean, it looked like he was violating a law of physics.

I do my best to not link directly to Xwitter by only providing the text of a xweet if I find it has good content. I occasionally will make exceptions if the content is of high quality. The video in this particular Xweet is exceptional and well worth soiling your digits by clicking on the link. You will not regert it.

couple of things I've noticed the past three nights.

Thing a - I think a memo went out to the speakers that every one needs to take a shot at the orange idiot.

thing 2 - excellent music for the walk-ons

Thing III- so many pictures of MVP Harris with that 1kw smile. What a contrast that is.

Everyone needs to take “a shot” at the PAB?

Way I read it, they’re telling speakers they’ve got to do more than talk about the PAB, however tempting that may be.

On the topic of Gus Walz, here is an interesting article about Non-verbal Learning Disability (which doesn't mean what it sounds like it means--it means he has difficulty processing non-verbal information). https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/everyday-neurodiversity/202408/what-is-a-non-verbal-learning-disability?fbclid=IwY2xjawE0nkFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSqep3RjiVWcQPsUrdhe3XtXcJXWXMZg8auYio0Or135NwCVFY-KxmvBvQ_aem_tHB2aYfdTo_phToTpBAgZA

I'm sure Gwen and Tim fought hard to ensure that he was accommodated in school, as have all parents of kids who learn differently. But, to skip ahead a bit, I kind of hope Gwen takes on the issue of making schools more adaptable to different learning styles so every parent doesn't have to fight on their own.

I think with 3 teachers involved Education will be a huge part of this Administration...remenber that Doug was teaching too.

I sincerely hope Dems REALLY focus on education. I really think that's where you will find alot of parents who do want the best for the kids and can be swayed
