Obviously you were too diligent and honest.And probably didn't have the right 'connections'.

That's a shocking revelation about his character right there. Proof of racism. Proof of every rotten category of caring nothing for the welfare of the world. But still wanting to be well-dressed! Trump's a convenient threshing machine that way.

Well I think Democrats are pure-minded but they fail to fight back and give loud denials to the river of crap. No wonder the crap never goes away. GOP freaks never tire of saying it and we cooperate by never countering it in any way. WHY? It can be done in a couple of sentences and then move on. Since the people on the other side believe everything, they'll never dream there are alternatives to the farcical versions they get.

Me too. Even with no reason. I went out to the kitchen where there was a terrible mound of dishes and I heard Stagger Lee by Lloyd Price. I played it 4 more times, and THEN I did the dishes. I realized I didn't care about things anymore. Pretty mysterious how that works.

Well whitey, guess what? There are hundreds of thousands of people living as slaves in South Africa. Mostly in industries like agriculture and fishing where the victims are easily separated from the rest of society and unable to escape. You could call them 'plantations'.

A nation known for its less than sterling treatment of nie-blanks. Living proof that white folks are actually still doing that and profiting from it.

He's going to come back Saturday and along with Trump reveal the steal of the 2020 election by Joe Biden! Him and JFK Jnr. Maybe Elvis and John Wayne too. Why the fuck not?

So looking forward to more of these faux cletus safaris:

"The democrats really upset me when they wanted to pay for their progressive policies by taxing the rich! That's when I reluctantly switched to Republican."

"I voted for Obama, Hilary and Joe but I find Jen Psaki's rudeness to that boy fox reporter so repugnant it's driven me to gin -- and Trump!"

"Progressives have tanked the democrats forever and forever so I am taking my centrist ball and becoming a libertarian voter."

excellent point!

Not sure about Noah and Bee, but I know that Oliver is now a US citizen...

That they're comedians is fine in my book...Carlson and Hannity are STILL using the tactics of 'entertainment' (they're certainly not journalists or political analysts)...So its fine for our side to use entertainment tactics as well....Funny, the differences between the two sets REALLY illustrate how different leftie brais are from RW brains...ENTIRELY different ways of engaging two very different audiences

IK, R? My bullshit meter pegs immediately, when a supposedly serious statement, starts off like a "Penthouse" forum letter from back in the the days.

And Archie and Edith said his songs "made the hit parade." Now if his name was STEVE Miller...

That's exactly what I thought about NBC when, during the run-up to California recall, Jacob Soboroff interviewed the five Angelenos of color who were voting for Larry Elder. Don't go into stock picking, weather forecasting, or parimutuel betting, Jake.

Freedom of the press for the man (usually a man) who owns one.

Your thing about the brains has one flaw - the existence of the RW brain has yet to be verified.

Meanwhil, I knew about Oliver being a citizen, and I checked on Bee and Noah...

Bee became a US citizen in 2014, but stil retains her Canadian citizenship, I beleive shae can do this because she married an American (Jason Jones) while still a Canadian, which made her children they had dual citizens, and as such she could retain her Canadian citizenshio because of the children.

When I was born, my parents had been sharing a house with a couple from Nova Scotia who had their two sons there before I was born. Tney became dual citizens. The family eventually moved back to NS (after years in Scranton!). The two sons had to choose when they became 18 which citizenshio they wanted, and they wisely chose Canadian. The family has been friends forveer and I have been to NS numeroups times. And as I grew up during the Viet Nam period, I would've defineitly have been able to escape to Canada if my draft number was high enough. It nevr was, but in recent years I've sort of regretted I didn't go anyway.

As for Noah, i couldn't find and info that he hsa changed his citizenship. I did find this very interesting..."Noah speaks English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana, Tsonga, and some German."Meanwhile, we have some people in Congress who can barely speak English, not to mention TFG.

Finally, forgive me if I mentioned this before, but my mother actually knew Duncan Hines, although my brain is forgetting the details right now.
