Our late beloved Aussie would find timber to carry around on walks. We got him a stuffed hedgehog to carry around instead, and would replace it as necessary.
This is so like my corgi when she decides she’s finished (momentarily, at least) with her daily raw carrot. She’ll “dig” a hole in her bed, and then drag her blankie over it. They are so smart yet so absurd.
Sometimes I think dogs get frustrated with humans because the humans never quite get the whole "fetch" thing down! I can tell there are rules that I can't fathom, even after all this time.
When my grand dog Ruby was a pup, she found a stick, and was so proud of it, she ran around showing it to everybody, but she didn't bury it. Eventually she got tired of it, and just dropped it.
you can count on Trump continuing to signal ahead of the election that there will be violence and setting up the left as his scapegoat - its what he did last time and he should be called on it by MSM (lol yeah right)
Also the guy in the Detroit ad sounded like he had about 6 testicles the size of basket balls and he can read the phone book to me any time he cares to
Bah. That Marc Caputo and Greg Sargent interview about Haley voters lost me right from the get-go when Sargent characterized the Sienna/New York Times poll as "top quality." It is notoriously garbage. It is not just me saying that it's garbage; polling experts also say that its results are frequently nonsensical and self-contradictory. Sargent claiming it as "top quality" is, at best, stupid and ill-informed enough to completely invalidate anything else said in that interview. At worst, it's obvious bias that makes me think that they're starting with a conclusion they like and are working their way back from there. Even if it's news we'd like to hear, it's still GIGO.
Way back in 2004, I was one of thousands of Ohio voters who had their registration challenged in a mass effort by Republican operatives to sew chaos during the election, led in part by then Ohio secretary of state Kenneth Blackwell (who is garbage human). I even got to testify in federal court about it! The challenges were tossed, John Kerry lost Ohio anyway (on the upside, gross person John Edwards didn't make it to the White House). Anyhow, now people who I am sure are really, honestly concerned about voter fraud are filing mass challenges in Ohio again. Of course they are. https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/10/04/ohio-county-elections-officials-are-wrestling-with-mass-voter-registration-challenges/
Can we get to the part where they leave us transes the FUCK alone?! I'm done bottling this up: fuck every last one of those motherfuckers. Smug ass comfortable millionaires who can't feel good unless they're punching some minority group need to shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down forever. We're not your fucking chew toys. Leave us the fuck alone and get the fuck over yourselves.
DKos has a story about Trump's "Coachella" rally where the campaign forced people to take shuttle buses to the rally and then stranded them for hours afterwards. Of course his base is blaming the mayor and nefarious forces instead of admitting that the campaign screwed up.
The Sheriff of Riverside County--Chad Bianco--is a full-on RWNJ. He's been running around, appearing on any news program that will have him, claiming this guy was going to assassinate Big Orange. Full Stop.
The would-be assassain, however, is indeed a Sovereign Citizen and had a homemade license plate on his car, which is one of the things that caught Bianco's attention. that, and a trunk full of guns, various driver's licenses and passports.
Vem Miller claims he's from Nevada and unfamiliar with CA's strict gun laws, so he unknowingly violated them by bringing his arms into CA. That and he is a rabid (is there any other kind?) Trumper.
Bianco has decided he meant to kill Big Orange and that's the hill he plans to die on. The Feds and the SS have said, Nah. Miller has bailed out for $5000. Can't be all that serious.
LOL, I was watching an old John Wayne western 2 months ago and he mentioned going to Coachella. I was like, wait, that's a place? I thought it was a concert venue.
That Georgia law making it easy to kick students, unhoused and retirement home residents from the rolls based on their housing status is a pretty blatant move by the GOP, no where in existing law is type of housing listed as a qualification. There are no defensible reasons for such a law besides rank partisan power grabbing. Shameful.
So while they bleat every 4 years* about "illegals" all voting (as a solid group for democrats!) what they're doing is throwing obstacles in the way of registered citizen voters. Gee which of those two scenarios is more likely to affect the outcome of an election? Hint, it's the GOP fuckery, as non-citizen voting isn't a thing that happens.

Sutter was also the smartest recurring character in Jack Ohman's editorial cartoons during the Brown administration.

Not so sure about your engineering work there, Spike.
the doggo is kind of like a never-trumper...
This is so like my corgi when she decides she’s finished (momentarily, at least) with her daily raw carrot. She’ll “dig” a hole in her bed, and then drag her blankie over it. They are so smart yet so absurd.
I was thinking of going poetic about putting a stick in a hole, but my mind went to inappropriate pre breakfast erotic imagery.
Cute dog.
That doggo reminds me of me tackling a home project.
"It may not look like it, but I'm done!"
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
I just love corgis. They are the best dogs
Growing up, I knew a corgi that used to herd the neighborhood children.
He also liked to play croquet. He played defense.
I knew a corgi a long time ago who was widely known among nearby humans as "The Professor" – fit him perfectly.
Mine used to poke his snoot in the snow and then look up at us with a pyramid of snow on said snoot and smile proudly at how silly he was, goofball.
See? There, I buried it!
Wid it’s adorable snoot!
Kringle only loves the stick he's carrying until he sees you holding a new one. Then he runs to you, drops his, and waits for you to throw yours.
He really has not gotten the whole "fetch" thing down yet, even after all this time.
Sometimes I think dogs get frustrated with humans because the humans never quite get the whole "fetch" thing down! I can tell there are rules that I can't fathom, even after all this time.
Kringle’s attitude can be summed up as “No take. Only throw.” 😂
For some reason I thought you were talking about Santa.
They are like children. If you have two or more dogs, one always wants what the other one has.

Sounds like a good dog day.
Corgis spend so much energy being cute they can't even bury a stick. The failure being that fricking cute is all the proof I need.

I'm digging a hole
Where the stick goes in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go, oh, oh, oh, oh ...
That Detroit ad is awesome.
Ta, Rebecca. Ta, Martini. It's already afternoon at the pied-à-nuage, so I'll post my daily greeting on a later thread.

Also, a sing along.

DKos has a story about Trump's "Coachella" rally where the campaign forced people to take shuttle buses to the rally and then stranded them for hours afterwards. Of course his base is blaming the mayor and nefarious forces instead of admitting that the campaign screwed up.
I was yesterday years old when I discovered Coachella is a place and not just a festival name.
Anyone else suss out the "assassin" as being a SovCit while reading about the arrest?
Here's the thing...
The Sheriff of Riverside County--Chad Bianco--is a full-on RWNJ. He's been running around, appearing on any news program that will have him, claiming this guy was going to assassinate Big Orange. Full Stop.
The would-be assassain, however, is indeed a Sovereign Citizen and had a homemade license plate on his car, which is one of the things that caught Bianco's attention. that, and a trunk full of guns, various driver's licenses and passports.
Vem Miller claims he's from Nevada and unfamiliar with CA's strict gun laws, so he unknowingly violated them by bringing his arms into CA. That and he is a rabid (is there any other kind?) Trumper.
Bianco has decided he meant to kill Big Orange and that's the hill he plans to die on. The Feds and the SS have said, Nah. Miller has bailed out for $5000. Can't be all that serious.
As I was reading about it on late Saturday night, when they got down to part about the license plate, my immediate thought was SovCit.
LOL, I was watching an old John Wayne western 2 months ago and he mentioned going to Coachella. I was like, wait, that's a place? I thought it was a concert venue.
When they kept talking about him having a rally at Coachella I thought “didn't that already happen?”
THE CAMPAIGN SCREWED UP.
Except they meant to do that so people couldn't leave.
Exactly. You'd think stranding people for hours would cause at least some to ponder their choices, but apparently not.
Someone said pretty bluntly today that these are White people who want people who are other than White deported
REGARDLESS of the cost to themselves
That Georgia law making it easy to kick students, unhoused and retirement home residents from the rolls based on their housing status is a pretty blatant move by the GOP, no where in existing law is type of housing listed as a qualification. There are no defensible reasons for such a law besides rank partisan power grabbing. Shameful.
They are truly grasping at straws. They know that Trump will definitely lose GA if everyone who is qualified is allowed to vote.
So while they bleat every 4 years* about "illegals" all voting (as a solid group for democrats!) what they're doing is throwing obstacles in the way of registered citizen voters. Gee which of those two scenarios is more likely to affect the outcome of an election? Hint, it's the GOP fuckery, as non-citizen voting isn't a thing that happens.

I anticipate one lonely podium there.

⚡️UPDATE: The Senate debate 10/16 will be at WILLIAMSON COUNTY’s admin complex.
@VoteGloriaJ is confirmed, @MarshaBlackburn has not responded but a podium will be there for her.
@HarrietvWallace will moderate. @MLK50Memphis, who we are big fans of, have joined us as sponsors.
