NEWS: MAGA influencer Craig Long has been arrested in a human trafficking and prostitution sting in Florida, along with Ryan Yates, a Trump supporter who pleaded guilty in Feb 2024 for his involvement in January 6.

Long posted this photo with Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. just a few weeks ago.

Where can we watch this? Though, I'm kind of afraid to watch it, lest I burst into flame.

Land Shark 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️'s avatar

It is the Australian "60 Minutes" ... like CBS. Won't ever air here. I've heard some it ... it's more horrifying than you can imagine.

PrimerGray's avatar

It will be on YouTube fairly quickly after it airs there, I’m sure.

Shame that it couldn't have been a "formerly undocumented" black woman, but this should piss them off enough.

I'm up here on this mountain all alone. Woe is me...I'm not really alone alone. I do have three kitties to keep me company. And there's a couple of fighting red squirrels out on the deck making a racket. All three of the kitties are in front of the sliding glass door watching the squirrel show and completely ignoring me. Paul has left me to go to a clients house (he makes house calls) who lives an hour and a half away leaving me here to cope with my loneliness. What shall I do while he's gone? I know! I'm gonna bake a cake. I'm gonna bake a lemon cream cake to be exact. There are fresh strawberries and blueberries in the fridge that would love to be spooned over a warm piece of lemon cream cake with a healthy dab of whipped cream. Suddenly my loneliness has turned into a sugar craving that needs immediate attention. The cake will also be a fragrant reminder of why I love Paul so damn much. The man is a wonderment. Here's a lawyer who will drive three hours round trip on a Saturday afternoon to close a real estate deal. That's what I call dedication. I will cut him the biggest slice of cake when he gets back that he's ever had slapped on a plate and put in front of his face.

Now I want cake, alas, I only have the sweetest little strawberries for dessert. I’ve been eating too many cookies.

Cats are recharging, but due to seasonal adjustments to compensate for hibernal light conditions, battery management systems are failing to protect from overcharge. Daphne appears to be melting, while Alice is phase shifting. This will either be a messy cleanup, core reactor meltdown, or cat going into supernova. https://substack.com/profile/1687878-1d57a1d5931d/note/c-252777373?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=106di

Once again, photos with a disturbing lack of cat shnackies in sight.

Cats have mastered gravity and quantum teleportation but energy/heat regulation is still a major challenge for them sometimes.

I think daylight savings time adjustment calibration boogers it all up for them.

Hamilton & The Crew 👉NO👑S👈's avatar

That's why I live in AZ. However, because Phoenix is terrible about allergies, I still have the boogers.

Must be quantum. I’ve never seen them in a Waffle House.

For some reason Waffle House has an environment that makes quantum chair teleportation easy enough for hoomuns to do it!

Also, ever watch anyone basically be kept alive via Ensures and various equivalents because they can't or won't eat? It's not like they're drinking Red Bulls or Monsters, but have ya' looked at the added sugars??

As it is, the revised "dietary guidelines" put out by RFK,Jr.'s HHS prioritizes high fat foods like red meat, full fat dairy, including saturated fats from foods like butter - reversing decades long science that saturated fats are bad for LDL levels, harming heart health.

The motherfucker has NO medical experience, yet he's pushing nonsense out as if it was "science" ( and you just know he doesn't listen to whatever real medical scientists that may still be at HHS )

He's got to be placed on the tumbrel manifest.

I had someone give me a Moxie as a joke once. I was surprised by my instant gag reflex.

My "Uncle John" (actually great uncle) was a big Moxie fan.

He tried several times to get me to drink it.

I guess my unrefined palate wasn't up for it at age 7..

Well, I'm sitting here reading out your clever, insightful comments to... the ether. My daughter and her father are playing NES Mario and they keep telling me to shhhh because they've almost beat the level.

I will laugh, or hiss, or hoot and or holler at something, try to tell my mom, who is more invested in her solitaire game than what I'm trying to explain. I get the verbal "mom pat on head good job kid now go away".

My team and I have often considered how many of our nice, heavy metal display fixtures can without modification act as weapons, in the case of the Zombie Apocalypse.

I was slightly distraught earlier this year when I had to clean out ten years of packed in weap...er fixtures and send them back to the distribution center 😥

Hamilton & The Crew 👉NO👑S👈's avatar

That's an area of discourse especially prone to "I might need that someday" syndrome.

I started at the "haven't used it in five.....two.....one year" method and then the "I have two lifetime supplies so I can get rid of one lifetime supply.

With the promise/threat we are getting remodeled next year, maybe, and it will all get thrown out anyway so why do I have to toss it ALL now?

IK,R? I have at least three "FUCK I WISH I HAD KEPT THAT" events every year.

So ... I have a theory. Let's assume Maxwell knows all and gets released. How long is her life expectancy at that point? I mean, that's a LOT of uber rich fuckwads with private security.

Plus, wouldn’t she be compelled to testify in hearings and spill all of it, since she has a pardon? That’s a dangerous position to be in.

If her life expectancy is a millisecond it will be far too long for me.

What she needs is a nice Acme anvil.

Hamilton & The Crew 👉NO👑S👈's avatar

An ACME anvil with a JDAM kit attached to it.

M-X's avatar

I don't know what the heck that is, but I trust Hammy's judgement.

tek's avatar

THAT is dangerous ;)

Hamilton & The Crew 👉NO👑S👈's avatar

Joint Direct Attack Munition is what they attach to a dumb bomb so that it can use GPS and a set of fins to guide itself to a target after it's dropped from an aircraft. Otherwise, a dumb bomb relies on ballistics to land in the general vicinity of a target. JDAM makes the bomb land pretty much on top of the target so that it can blow up and cause the most damage to the target.

So, replace the dumb bomb with an ACME anvil and you are all set to take out that silly coyote.

Well, we had brats in Rogers City at Nowecki's (look for the big pink elephant), then down to Netta's Nursery near Posen, which is just opening for the season up here, so much later than usual. Of course, we spent more on mostly Lenten Roses than we meant to, but what cost flowers?...

Nona Land Shark often quoted some French person about flowers are what make life good. I wish I could find the quote ...

Mrs. Toomush already has a garden of mostly Lenten Roses, which start now and flower all the way to August! I'm not sure where she'll put these. She has 22 perennial gardens now, and I fear she's not about to quit...

The yellow walking Irises have started growing and are almost ready to go on the front porch. https://www.almostedenplants.com/shopping/products/758-yellow-walking-iris-hand-of-god-steyermarks-trimezia/

The white and purple ones are still looking a little bit sad but they'll get over it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/286340624668

As for species names? LOL. What's in the horticultural trade is a mixed up mess of several species and I have chosen to no longer care.

Always Be Ithacating's avatar

Walking meaning self-propagating? That's so nicely evocative! Just strolling here, pay us no mind.

Bagels of Doom's avatar

With walking Irises, the reason for the common name is actually really cool. They make new plants on the end of their flower stalks which then bend down to the ground, thus planting the babby.
