HuffPost: JD Vance Scorched For ‘Grotesque’ Defense Of Trump’s Reported Chats With Putin
The Ohio Republican seemed to think it would be no biggie if his running mate was in touch with the Russian autocrat after leaving office.
"Then, he added: “Even if it’s true, look, is there something wrong with speaking to world leaders? No. Is there anything wrong with engaging in diplomacy?”
As commentators pointed out on social media, yes, there is, actually.
Under the Logan Act, a federal law, private citizens may not engage in unauthorized diplomacy with foreign governments."
OT- If you didn't see the Harris/Colbert interview, it's worth a watch. This is part one. It looks like there are three or more parts to it. She is awesome.
I thought sexual matador was funny, though. Given what actual matadors do, I assume that sexual matadors wave their tiny dicks at fat guys, to make the fat guys angry.
If they can't physically leave and want to, then they should get assistance. If they're choose to stay even though they were told to leave, then we should ask them to sign a waiver saying that they won't allow first responders to rescue them.
You wanna play stupid games? Then take you a big dose of Find Out.
That's basically what's going on at this point. All the real shelters are full around Tampa and now it's down to backup shelters (City Furniture in Plant City, the old Barnes and Nobel on Dale Mawbry) and people are being told they are on their own.
Could be that not all of them are convinced they're smarter than the experts. I read a Facebook post yesterday where some woman posted a long screed basically saying if everyone just prayed hard enough, the hurricane would disappear or something. About as effective as the idiots who take the time in the midst of preparing to evacuate to write "Go Away, Milton" on the plywood they've nailed over their windows. I want to shout at them "Hurricanes can't read". I admit another one of my pet peeves is when the media has headlines like, "Milton takes aim at Florida, or Milton targets Florida". It makes it sound like the hurricane is sentient and deliberately heading for a particular place. It's annoyed me for years. I know they don't mean it that way, and I know I shouldn't let it bother me, there's so much more important things to be upset about, but I kind of can't help it.
I know Mary told us in her books -- I know he's been this way basically his whole life (I'm a New Yorker, and I know how girls in his Miss Universe pageant were treated, and I know how much beautiful historical architecture he destroyed putting up his monstrosities) -- but he just seems to get stupider and sh*ttier with each passing day
I've met some doozies, but I don't think I thought it was possible to be this level of sh*tty of a human being
It seems like a whole new dimension of Pabs' shittiness is revealed on an increasingly shorter interval of time. There is no bottom. It's an infinitely deep sewer of monster shit.
There is no bottom, and people unfortunately familiar with malignant narcissism -- who've worked for one, have one in their families, whatever -- know that when they see it
But I don't think any of us are accustomed to a full 30% of the country enabling this insanity openly
We really to educate the country/world on what narcissism looks like, why it can seem appealing, and how to see through it. It's the same schtick whether it's abusive domestic relationships or countries with dictators.

OT: America's Penis is starting to get whacked really hard. Yikes! I feel like going into fetal position.
CBT ain't for the fainthearted.
Computer-Based Training?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Rings a bell.
Now I'm drooling.
Cock and Ball Torture.
Ya silly.
No. Just no.
EW EW EW EW DELETE FROM BRAINE!!!
I'm such a sweet summer child.
Let us stay in our sweet summer childhood!!!
*running away! running to The Garden!! lalalala covering ears!!!*
Oh, you...
(smiles)
Well done.

She sneaked in a WTF on the Donald.
Just finished working my way through those. Also caught Walz on Kimmel, too.

That's now "Senior Advisor to the President" Karine Jean-Pierre, if you please.
OT: An hour ago.
Milton.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjtEhBq9iu8
I hope you're still safe, birb.
We are all right just now. Made some pasta, while we still have power. Watching tee vee, listening to jazz.
Sounds great!
From eastern Washington state I am afraid of Milton.
Your hope will definitely help me get through it.
Slightly OT, but after seeing PAB's whinging "Truth" about 60 Minutes deceptively editing the Harris interview, I wondered:
What would it be like to wake up every morning so ANGRY all the time?
And what would it be like to see conspiracies and detractors behind every bush?
How can people live that way?
Fear. Fear of not being worshipped. Fear turns into anger. And I think he knows it's all just bullshit, it's all a game for his amusement.
*still shuddering after that Nosferatu-Goebbels-Stephen-Miller-Jesse-Watters-thing*
I thought sexual matador was funny, though. Given what actual matadors do, I assume that sexual matadors wave their tiny dicks at fat guys, to make the fat guys angry.
Skipped over that one. Glories of Wonkette are yu are not required to read everything! There's not gonna be a test.
The new Nosferatu is probably going to be a really good movie, though.
Hello, hello, nice wonderfl fren; i am gong to messrg you nao.
That was not cool, uuuuugh!
Creepy no? The matador of love…
The pompetus of love!
Better than the Elephant of Love.*
*(special no-prize for guessing the move and the actor)
Kevin Kline in 𝘈 𝘍𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢?
Robin Williams as the King of the Moon in 'The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen.'
Oh, sure - use a movie I've never seen! UNFAIR!!1!1!!
(I really should watch that movie.)
Seeing interviews with people staying put and riding it out. Trump’s losing votes tonight.
If they can't physically leave and want to, then they should get assistance. If they're choose to stay even though they were told to leave, then we should ask them to sign a waiver saying that they won't allow first responders to rescue them.
You wanna play stupid games? Then take you a big dose of Find Out.
Some people can't leave, including some Wonketeers.
That's basically what's going on at this point. All the real shelters are full around Tampa and now it's down to backup shelters (City Furniture in Plant City, the old Barnes and Nobel on Dale Mawbry) and people are being told they are on their own.
Old joke / story about God and the bus, boat, and helicopter.......
Told that one just the other day.
Darwinian selection is never pretty.
You know you should have evacuated when... you see the police department packing *their* stuff into a truck: https://substack.com/profile/155708860-1d5051d5221d/note/c-72006214
Those FOOLS!
Honestly that'd what I'm wondering about. How many "I'm smarter than the experts" are staying behind

One tornado track was northeast of my city when it suddenly faced northwest. I think the thunderstorm cell hit a steering wind.
There's still a huge chain of tornado warnings running from the Everglades up to I-4.
Head to the basement. Oh yeah, Florida. We don’t have them either.
Multiple tornado outbreak in FL ahead of Milton arrival.
We're not in Kansas any more.
At this moment: 15 tornado warnings.
Fucking hell
It's down to 10 warnings now. I've never seen so many huge supercells at one time.
Yeah, this is quite the twister-maker.
Donnie's pissed at Howard Stern 'cause he interviewed Kamala.
Ron Filipkowski:
Trump attacks his old friend Howard Stern.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GZd6l1dWoAAn4EG?format=jpg&name=small
A lot of words just to say "Wah!"
He thinks everyone and everything belong to him, it's strange.
Everyone HATES you, Drumpfenfuehrer.
When Chump goes to prison, let's have a Zoom party.
A national Day of Celebration!
Because of course he is.
He's always pissed about something
Too bad
Stay mad
OT: Trump to hold rally at (mostly empty) Madison Square Garden. This might be pretty funny.
Very good odds his daddy was at this MSG rally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden
I heard Fred Sr. helped organize it.
The ghost of George Lincoln Rockwell smiles.
Did Madison Square Garden make him pay in advance? 'Cuz that's what I'd do.
(A fib. If I owned a place I would never let a Nazi lease it, 'cuz fuck those guys.)
Never let a Nazi lease it AGAIN.
I also bet he wouldn't do it if NYPD wasn't in an absolute spiral in the wake of the Eric Adams mess and he had to get a permit like a normal person
It's like living in Gotham City and being forced to go to a stadium after Bane temporarily took over
Somebody please find us Alfred, 'cos I am HAAAAAAAAAATING it here right now
Just another "Pro-American" rally like in 1939, I'm sure.
Oh, good lord. Maybe he will conniption himself to death.
Is he doing that because Stevie Wonder is scheduled to do a voter registration concert tomorrow?
I bet it is
Such a petty childish dolt.
He's just the sh*ttiest possible human being
I know Mary told us in her books -- I know he's been this way basically his whole life (I'm a New Yorker, and I know how girls in his Miss Universe pageant were treated, and I know how much beautiful historical architecture he destroyed putting up his monstrosities) -- but he just seems to get stupider and sh*ttier with each passing day

Especially if you imagine "Memory" from Cats echoing through the venue.
Now that was just unnecessary.
I saw a lady wearing a TRUMP shirt at the grocery store and I wanted to ask her if she could use some help because I noticed the shirt, but I didn't.
I would have been tempted to add a few random things to her cart.

Milton has no eye, is flying blind. Stay out of his way.
"I cannot see! Look out for me!"
Look at the glasses on the guy!
YIKES
Several Florida jails and prisons refuse to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Milton
Despite being in evacuation zones, correctional facilities will keep thousands of residents on site
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/09/inmate-evacuation-hurricane-milton-jail-prison-florida
2024 isn't a simulation, it's a video game. And it appears to be called "Banhammer Exception Quest".
Let me get this straight
The prison officials are refusing to let the prisoners out?
Or the prisoners are refusing to go?
Because if it's the former, I do hope the DOJ is getting felony murder charges ready if prisoners die as a result
They're going to have a helluva time living it down if the storm strikes, damages the prison and several prisoners escape.
This is enormously unwise.
