I can hardly wait for the grand finale. tRumps 🤡 internal pressure finally blows the top of his head 🤯 off. Just stay clear of all the 💩💩💩 flying around the 🤡's immediate vicinity. Oh, Oh.......and all the 🪰 flies 🪰.......gazillions of 🪰 flies 🪰. And......remember 💩💩💩 splatters 🫟🫟🫟 and you certainly don't want to carry " little " Donnie's 🤡🤮 around with you, do you! Nah, 🤮 didn't think so.

BTW - Rutte’s incessant need to remind the world he is a power bottom for Donald Trump is actually extremely dangerous. I wrote about this, let me know what you think:

Okay, so my son (I think) brought over some "Cheerwine Ale". Now, for those Not From Around Here, Cheerwine is an NC original cherry-flavored cola. Anyway, I finally got the nerve to crack one open and taste it.

Fam... it tastes like someone mixed Cheerwine and beer. It tastes like the worst aspects of both. I might have a few more swallows just to be sure that I actually do hate it this much, but I think the bulk of this can is going down the drain in the kitchen sink.

A six-month investigation by Byline Times reveals that with the support of Palantir's Peter Thiel, Reform's policy chief James Orr has used the University of Cambridge as a student recruitment ground for a hard-right, theocratic political project aimed at bolstering talent in Farage’s party

Today they officially change the west palm airport name to Donald j trump airport.

The three letter id code is now DJT. Something that’s never been done for anyone, living or dead.

I’m glad I’m retiring from aviation. Fuck this.

I can't express my disgust. I can usually rise to the occasion, but not this time. I only fly into three or four airports with any regularity. Of course, this is one of them.

Jen Lacks a Domesticated Bone's avatar

Didn't the rename the DC one to Reagan?

Free beach's avatar

Yes they added the guy who fired all the air traffic controllers, setting us back years.

So now it has three names and two of them are presidents. But they didn’t change the three letter ID. That’s a new twist.

IvoryRabbit's avatar

And Newark was renamed to "Liberty". I haven't heard anyone, anywhere, refer to it as such.

Free beach's avatar

It’s appropriate. I feel liberated every time I leave it.

Hey! Ha ha. I do too, sometimes, even though I live here.

Apparently. Maybe he blackmailed someone in Montreal.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

Well, I guess naming airports after a senile president *has* a precedent ...

Free beach's avatar

True. And he and doge did fire a bunch at FAA, so I guess that counts too

I love the story. Just wish it wasn't a crypto casino that gave him the money.

I was all :k when they made it conditional. If they win by more than 2 goals! In a game that regularly sees 1 goal games.

But then they came through with it anyway (probably because of the bad press if they didn't, but still) so that was nice

I'm happy for the kid, anyway.

This week on Real Time with Bill Maher- cancel culture's latest victim, Graham Platner.

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

It's just astounding to read editorials these days that charaterize the dems from 2008-2016 as "partisan." It was, after all, McConnell who said none of Obama's legislation was going to pass and who blocked every judicial nominee Obama brought up. Pelosi and, dare I say it, Schumer, passed the ACA with support of both parties, AND Obama was forced to continue both wars we were in.

Just saw someone comparing Biden to Platner because Biden endorsed Harris rather than the dems having another primary. Bullshit. Absolute bullshit.

Since the RWNJs have nothing else, mud slinging is the "news" du jour.

(Would love to have read more about "the worriers"):

Last July, in a small town in coastal Maine, a couple of progressive, self-styled recruiters of economic populists showed up at the blue-shingled house of Graham Platner, a little-known oyster farmer and Marine veteran who lived largely off government benefits.

They knew his name from local labor organizers and activists, and they had watched a video on the internet of him talking about oysters. Struck by his left-leaning ideology, his working-class affect and his gravelly voice, they became convinced that he could win a Senate seat in Maine — and quickly persuaded Mr. Platner of the same.

The initial headhunters, Dan Moraff and Leanne Fan, and then a third out-of-state operative they called up to Maine — Morris Katz — told Mr. Platner he was “the one,” a “hero of the movement,” “a historical figure” who could be “leading a revolution,” according to half a dozen people with knowledge of their conversations.

Fan, asked if they knew about the shocking disclosures their oppo research should've uncovered and probably did, but they ignored as unimportant, LAUGHED.

These people are determined to get the power for Sanders in the Senate, to finally give him the respect he's not earned in his long life, at last. They tried to fool voters into this disaster in the making. Women who he victimized over many years had more guts than they expected.

Just watch if Bernie goes up, with Warren, at minimum, to campaign with whomever gets the Dem nod at their convention. DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH. He'll be pouting and seething that he's been thwarted again.

Diane's Less Hostile Username's avatar

I still blame the state party for this. We should not be enduring or supporting candidates for THE SENATE who don't have experience in government or law. That alone should be disqualifying. Add to that, why are the dems elevating someone who has never participatedas a dem before? Progressive politics doesn't make someone a good representative. Good character, a history of commitment, and hope make good candidates.

I keep hearing people say, "But this is who the people wanted." You know who else the people wanted? That orange bag of shit, and the party leadership did NOTHING, and now we have a sexual assaulter who doesn't even know what a government is. It's the party leadership who is responsible for telling people like that orangebag of shit, Swawell, and Platner to get bent when they ask for an application to enter a race.

A "couple of progressive, self-styled recruiters of economic populists" who were unfamiliar with the practice of 𝘋𝘶𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, or maybe with the optimism of the ignorant, thought it wouldn't matter, and an out-of-state "operative". It turns out, Morris Katz was big on details either. Sorry about those parochial concerns, but losing that Senate seat is 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘭𝘺 the worst case scenario for anyone not Platner or Team Platner

"We're going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That's pretty cool. This way, you can't complain that we're not giving 'em enough," the stupidest, most irresponsible fuck you know told President Volodymyr Zelensky...

Experts say this is a disaster in the making, chiefly because our intellectual property will be out there and the risk not worth it...

...It's foolish and a weak way of looking magnanimous when you know a) the Ukrainians will not be able to build them in time to make any difference and b) the war with Russia will never be won on the battlefield. It's a waste...

...According to George Beebe, director of the Quincy Institute's Grand Strategy program, this "will do little to fix Ukraine’s urgent air defense problems" because "It will take many months for Ukraine to get a production facility built. But Russia will attack that facility as soon as the first cornerstone is laid, and to have any hope of completing that construction, Ukraine will have to divert many existing Patriot batteries from their current locations to that new facility...
