I was completely unaware that VP Harris has her own entrance music, Integrity Fanfare and March by Julie Giroux. I'll give it some re-listening and thought, but my first reaction is Do Not Want.
Is there anything I should know that would help relieve my lack of understanding?
"Officially, inflation is at about 7%, but the head of Russia’s central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, suggested in December that it was rising again, stoked by cash hand-outs to soldiers and their families as well as high consumer borrowing. In September 2023, consumer borrowing for subsidized mortgages was nearly 50% higher than a year earlier.
In response, the central bank has raised its key interest rate from 7.5% to 16% in just six months. Nabiullina said the Russian economy was like a car trying to go too fast. “It can go, it might even be quick, but not for long,” she said.
Not (yet) among the theories is the Chiefs will stun the San Francisco 49ers by suiting up Taylor Swift ... one of the best receivers in the business.
Announcer: "Oh wow. Patrick Mahomes just lobbed a 90-yard pass ... and wide receiver Swift has outrun cornerback Charvarius Ward toward the end zone ... and she just caught the ball in a flying leap. OK, now she's doing a dance routine. No flag on the play."
I think the real reason for the hatred is that all the fascist fucks thought that Taylor would be their little blond-haired, blue-eyed Nazi queen, and she explicitly rejected them, and their adoration, against the suggestions of her then management (her dad, mainly), and it worked out well for her.
I think I read they're going from Virginia Beach to the Texas border by way of Jacksonville, FL for some reason.
Which only adds about 100 miles to the trip, but for what purpose? So all they have to do for directions is, "Keep the Big Wet Thing On Your Left, and Grit Your Teeth across Northern FL until you see it again, on the LEFT!"
Especially since there are only 300k-500k long-haul truckers in the US. Sure, they are ~3.5 million 'truck drivers' in the US, but even including all the folks driving delivery vans, I don't think they're going to get 14% of 'truck drivers' to join their little pity party.
For sheer, bleeding from the ears stupidity, it would be hard to top Ohio state rep John Becker's provision in an antiabortion bill that mandates insurance coverage for surgery to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy... a thing which does not exist.
I was so hoping we'd get the DC Circuit decision on the PAB's moronic immunity claims today, and/or an early decision from Engoron. Day's not over yet though...
Those people are becoming a problem. I'm pretty much in agreement that we need to do everything we can to stop this bloodshed, but the Biden critics on this are using tactics designed to piss off everyone.
She must have some sort of vestibule that miniaturizes the stork on the way in. That, or Jeeebus fires his mind rays at the bird first. (He has mind rays for that, but not for curing cancer or AIDS or 'beetus.)
Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, the Republican who's challenging Democrat Claire McCaskill for the U.S. Senate seat, said in a television interview Sunday that it's "rare" for women to become pregnant when they are raped.
"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," he said in an interview with KTVI, a St. Louis television station.
Backdrop screens are the new desktop publishing. What graphic artist wouldn't relish a canvas that big? Instead, they let Mike from IT have a hand at it.
You would think. But, as you say, the job is a pain in everyone's ass, so it goes to the lowest-ranking person who can do it and can't dodge out of it.
Glad to see VP Harris talking about these issues. Personally I don't think we've seen enough of her during Biden's 1st term (this is a media thing, not a Biden admin thing)
So who were the hecklers at Kamala's talk, and what were they saying? At least the other attendees shouted "Four more years!" to drown them out.
Four? It's Kamala, they should be yelling "12 more years" just to piss 'em off. She could theoretically do that, you know.
Ta, Evan.

"Conservatives Go Next-Level Crazy With Taylor Swift Super Bowl Conspiracies"
• Now that the Kansas City Chiefs have made it to the Super Bowl, the far right is freaking out about Taylor Swift again.

No notes, either...

Somewhere near their wallets
Wait for a few more to get into Texas and then quickly build the wall... On the north side of Texas.

All that I can possibly add to such an articulate observation would perhaps be a definitive, "...you VAPID fuckwits!".
Knowing your love of (and talent for) alliteration, I try to use "vacuous" with "vapid" whenever the opportunity presents itself.
I’m in complete agreement with your comment.
Follow the Trail of Dorito Dust
GIVE 'EM HELL, KAMALA!!!
I think I forgot to eat lunch.
I just ate a couple of dates. Would you like some?
Yes please. (I made some popcorn, and I'm going to do bourbon chicken for an early dinner)
Honestly, you people...
Sorry, you left that door WIDE open
Psht. Weirdos...
Multiple dates with the same person?
If you microwaved them first, they'd be hot dates!
If you leave them for a month, they'll be 'out of dates'.
. . . splattered all over the inside of the microwave.
Forgive me they were so delicious so hot and so sweet
Just a few seconds!
Oh, I'm not the only one.

What lobbyist from what insurance company said they'd go for this?!?!?
(... Meanwhile trader joe's kicked some guy 𝑶𝒇𝒇 insurance after being diagnosed with cancer.)
Nothing is normal, nothing is sane, let's all go dance in the street in our nightgowns.

Feel like I just watched a 21st century Gettysburg Address. Kamala Harris earned my respect.
She’s terrific
Too bad that a third of the country would rather hack off their feet and eat them than vote for her
That would certainly make things interesting if they need to stand in line on Election Day
Deep fried with Ranch on the side
Original, or extra crispy?
Original
Extra crispy toe fungus is an acquired taste
She's great and I hope they bring her to the forefront again.
I wouldn't mind if she were President of these United States.
And even those other United States, over there!
All of 'em. Wrap 'em up with twine and put a pretty bow on the package.
I was so hoping we'd get the DC Circuit decision on the PAB's moronic immunity claims today, and/or an early decision from Engoron. Day's not over yet though...
My guess is Engoron will release his decision past usual bidness hours, just because. Maybe at 9:00 pm or later, just to piss off the PAB.
Love the crowd chanting "4 more years" to drown out the forced birth banshee.
I thought it was Ceasefire people?
Oh, I made an assumption. Couldn't tell what was being said. Carry on, nothing to see here folks.
Those people are becoming a problem. I'm pretty much in agreement that we need to do everything we can to stop this bloodshed, but the Biden critics on this are using tactics designed to piss off everyone.
Isn't this what's said about every protest movement?
Some protest movements are better at winning adherents than others.
But every single one gets met with the same complaints that they are annoying people.
I think every single one finds it has a lot more adherents after it succeeds than before.
Make 8-Tracks Great AGAIN!
Good job, MVP!
Awesome women, challenge men to their knowledge of the woman's reproductive system, which to the Puritans, is icky...!

Ahhhhhh.... Not THIS shit again!
That party has put up many candidates for it, but Akin still wins the Dumbest Asshole Hooman award.

That's because she has to hang on in congress breaking ties right and left.
Heck, we barely see anything of Old Handome Joe!
If she has more appeal among the young, I'd set her loose at the college campuses and work on that demo.
She was already doing that last fall.
