I'm reminded of the overwhelming euphoria when Joe Biden withdrew in favor of Kamala Harris. People were so excited about her as shown by the flood of donations. And her pick for VP was equally inspired, a grandfather figure like Joe, but more articulate and with a wicked sense of humor. And then the consultants, the Democrat hierarchy, moved in an Kamala became Republican-lite with Liz Cheny in tour and Walz's epic "Republicans are weird" 86ed. And just like that all the energy from the Harris-Walz campaign was gone. Thanks Professional Democrates, you know how to seize defeat from the jaws of victory. Fears that Mamnami might too liberal for New York is why we end up with crooks like Cuomo.
You know the level of our political discourse has no bottom when the mainstream press has only to shriek "socialist" in an effort to disqualify Mamdani. And sadly I'm talking about the DEMOCRATIC establishment and not the Republicans. And Bill C. ... just STFU! If you can't find a Democratic who is not corrupt and a sex-pest, you are not trying hard enough.
I would buy Mamdani a cow any old time. Lander too. Both of them possess that special sumthin sumthin that gets me goin, if you know what I mean and I think you do. Principles, political courage, and (in at least one case) rhythm.
Andrew Cuomo? Dear God. Tag team him right the hell out of the Tri State Area. C'mon, New Yorkers, prove your smarts.
You know the cute thing of returning military bases to their confederate names with the one neat trick of finding someone else with the same name? Well, finally hit ours, despite initials. They simply found 3 last names and insisted we still use the initials, which I am blatantly not doing, but spelling out their names. It's a small thing but fuck em. It's disrespectful to initial two of the names anyway.
But it struck me, unlike Bragg, they are sure being quiet about the renaming all the sudden. Almost as if it did not pay as much as they thought it would. Maybe so the press does not ask them how much this is costing (not that they ever DID, but they made sure to breathlessly mention every penny the initial renaming cost, you betcha!)
Just suddenly, the sign was changed, without a fanfare, with barely a mention except "change your signature block."
Our three names be like that too. Thus far I have decided to gloat to anyone who even looks like they are gloating about how "Great it is they are naming it after freed slaves!" in my most wokity woke woke voice.
I think the real reason for the down low is that they can't change it to a confederate name, that is verbotten, so they are finding union guys (these morons cannot get over the civil war) and lots of them are black.
So they're trying not to clue their base into the fact they are naming southern military bases after freed slaves and being all wokeity.
I am 100% sure that little bit of the stunt is so in the future if someone says fuck it and goes to change em back, they can then whine "but we named them after black people!!!!!"
Cause they think like that. And still assume "black" is a human shield they can use to hide their racism.
So...now EVERYONE is gonna be pissed at PAB. Bibi, Iran, Putin...
US president Donald Trump said on Tuesday that both Israel and Iran violated a ceasefire he announced hours earlier and he was not happy with either country but especially Israel, Reuters reports.
Speaking to reporters before leaving for the Nato summit in The Hague, Trump said Israel “unloaded” right after agreeing to the deal.
Shortly after stating that Israel and Iran had both violated the ceasefire agreement he brokered, Donald Trump warned Israel not to drop further bombs on Iran.
He said in a post on Truth Social:
"ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES"
I think he really thought that if he just SAID it, they would go along after the fact, because he is such a great and strong leader that they wouldn't want to be caught not obeying him.
We talk about it all the time, but his toddler tendencies are really out of control now. I think he's actually regressing. Well, he already makes peepee in his pants, so part of the job is done.
yeah maybe the press ought to mention how that is not actually announcing anything. That Social Media Sites are not actual work and mean nothing without the phone calls and the paper signing
The entire thing reads like "ISRAEL AND IRAN, STOP!! I STILL EXPECT MY NOBLE PEACE PRIZE. YOU CANT HAVE IT, THE PRIZE SHOULD GO TO YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT, ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
I should have looked harder, but the ranging shot reminded me.
I'm off to Colorado for a wedding for the rest of the week, and traveling light, so no laptop, and thus no posting. Try not to burn the place down while I'm gone!
Mikey always makes me think of C-Suite types that lie lie lie. He has Louisiana 4th Congressional district - which over 20% is in poverty: 21.7% of the population for whom poverty status is determined in Congressional District 4, LA (161k out of 744k people) live below the poverty line, a number that is higher than the national average of 12.4%. The largest demographic living in poverty are Females 25 - 34, followed by Females 35 - 44 and then Females 55 - 64. (source datausa.io)
I agree that he’s using them, and would say that they are using him as well. Maybe for ratings, although I doubt he brings in the ratings like he used to. In the meantime, they have destroyed their credibility. Both TACO and the MSM are disgusting.
I had not watched Morning Joe since those two went to kiss the ring, but I have it on now for the first time in forever because, war. Holy crap, have they become blatantly right wing or what? It was always there, but now, they are full on with bombing the shit out of Iran.
Those other republicans are not principled. They are just thinking to themselves "Gee, even Grok keeps blaming Republicans, what if we can't ban that?"
Wildwood Devon, a conservation charity near Exeter, said European brown bears Mish and Lucy made their way to the food store after breaking free - and then consumed a "week's worth of honey".
"Putin also acknowledged his ongoing efforts to empower Russia's internal security services in order to safeguard regime stability and internal security." That seems...not good.

“Isolated” Johnny Depp Decries Reality TV, “Woke” Culture, And The MeToo Movement
In a lengthy interview, the Pirates of the Caribbean star bemoans a level of fame that's forced him to stay home “watching weird shit on YouTube.”
(Vanity Fair) https://archive.ph/uJoby#selection-327.0-344.2
I stay home and watch weird shit on Youtube and I'm not even famous
Has it ever occured to you that you need to hide under a rock because you belong there?
awww, is his fame too much for him? Poor dear.
You know, SOME famous people use their clout and their money to do good works, just saying, Johnny.
Man who's entire wealth came from public exposure doesn't want public exposure, he claims in widely disseminated interview.
It's complicated, I'm Italian, I shouldn't eat pasta because it spikes my blood sugar. Life is cruel
It was woke culture and Me Too that made him into an asshole, apparently. Not his own efforts there to
I think he's butthurt because marrying a young gold digger didn't work out like he expected.
Fuck it, I can live with the dishwasher the way it is. Completely re-assembled and re-installed. Only one screw left over . . .
Obviously a spare.
"What could possibly go wrong?"
Well done. Only one screw ... that's certainly better than Boeing ...
Soooooo renaming.
You know the cute thing of returning military bases to their confederate names with the one neat trick of finding someone else with the same name? Well, finally hit ours, despite initials.

Well they named the Stryker after a porn star, is it getting renamed?
I'd pay real money if they'd replace the st with a D.
That’s how authoritarians do.
If you got any MAGAts in your life make sure to rub their noses in it that Saint Lee's Base is actually now named after a black man.
Rub it in mercilessly. Constantly.
DEI naming.
For serious real.
Our three names be like that too. Thus far I have decided to gloat to anyone who even looks like they are gloating about how "Great it is they are naming it after freed slaves!" in my most wokity woke woke voice.
They are very gruntled thus far ^.^
Racism is sneaky.
I think the real reason for the down low is that they can't change it to a confederate name, that is verbotten, so they are finding union guys (these morons cannot get over the civil war) and lots of them are black.
So they're trying not to clue their base into the fact they are naming southern military bases after freed slaves and being all wokeity.
I live in Virginia where they celebrated Lee-Jackson-King Day. Racism abounds.
Gosh, how surprising that they are thoroughly insincere.
I am 100% sure that little bit of the stunt is so in the future if someone says fuck it and goes to change em back, they can then whine "but we named them after black people!!!!!"
Cause they think like that. And still assume "black" is a human shield they can use to hide their racism.
I wonder if there was a black Union soldier named Erwin Rommel?

There never was a ceasefire, except in TACO's brain. He wanted it, therefore it should be.
TACO is learning that he is not in charge of Israel or Iran. Or anywhere else.
The world is laughing at TACO.
Not so much laughing as making plans to piss on its grave. Sorry, you will have to get in line, people.
You don't get to suckerpunch someone and then say "okay that's it, it's settled."
I think he really thought that if he just SAID it, they would go along after the fact, because he is such a great and strong leader that they wouldn't want to be caught not obeying him.
We talk about it all the time, but his toddler tendencies are really out of control now. I think he's actually regressing. Well, he already makes peepee in his pants, so part of the job is done.
Child having a temper tantrum on a golf course gif.
"He announced". No discussions with anyone. Announced on a shit social media site. The grown ups are getting fed up with his juvenile bullshit.
yeah maybe the press ought to mention how that is not actually announcing anything. That Social Media Sites are not actual work and mean nothing without the phone calls and the paper signing
He really wants that Nobel Prize.
The entire thing reads like "ISRAEL AND IRAN, STOP!! I STILL EXPECT MY NOBLE PEACE PRIZE. YOU CANT HAVE IT, THE PRIZE SHOULD GO TO YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT, ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
The Nobel for stopping a war that he started would be one hell of a thing.
Jesus H. his stupid temu xitter.
I can't help laughing at his all caps plea to Israel.
He forgot to say "BIBI, STOP!!!"
IT INSTLILLS FEAR, DAMN IT!1!
Hey, at least he spelled his name right this time.
He didn't broker it apparently, the press

Enjoy!
Morning good_duck, just remember, they're not legally married unless there is a drunk uncle in a kilt there!
Oh crap, none of the other uncles drink. Where can I get a kilt on short notice?
Kilts'r'us.
none of my drunk uncles wore kilts. More's the pity, cause I had lots of drunk uncles.
Almost all of em, and we papists do not have small families.
Have fun, ya spoilsport!
Take care!

Just how he likes em. Poor and desperate and at the mercy of men.
The sick fuck
If he had stopped at "I don't think," he would have been right.
(headdesks)
cause then we would have to defend it in our own elections! He did not say and the press did not ask
What's his jerb, again?
To give his paymasters everything they desire.
Great job, TACO tits!

The war rages on
So Iran has no fucks to give to PAB?
Or Trump didn't mention the ceasefire to them in advance?
but but but he put it on social media! TOTES diplomacy!
But, but, but, he HEREBY DECREED!
Apparently it was Qatar anyway, and he took credit, and our fucking press goddamn let him take that credit. Again.
But nooooooo they are not at all in the tank for him.
Watch him say now it was all Qatar's fault
And he still hates the MSM, no matter how much they kiss his ass.
meh, anymore I find that act to be wearing thin. He says he does. Invites them to all his stuff, so long as they do what he says.
I think he's using them and they are very much willing to be used. Except AP.
I mean, just look how strong the press corpse lined up behind the AP. Yeah that.
I agree that he’s using them, and would say that they are using him as well. Maybe for ratings, although I doubt he brings in the ratings like he used to. In the meantime, they have destroyed their credibility. Both TACO and the MSM are disgusting.
Wasn't it the head of CNN who defended their taint licking by saying that Trump is great for ratings?

Thanks for the update.
You're very welcome.
"Putin also acknowledged his ongoing efforts to empower Russia's internal security services in order to safeguard regime stability and internal security." That seems...not good.
Former colonel, KGB. "As a dog returns to his vomit . . . "
I thought he already had secret police thugs.
He does.
