OT: Lane Kiffin this evening will return to Mississippi for the first time since he ditched the Rebs at the last minute to grab his current job as head coach at LSU.

In the meantime, Kiffin has made himself notorious for rummaging in the remainders bargain bin of NFL players to find guys who want to come back to college, forcing the courts to step in and adjudicate the subsequent tiff between Kiffin and college football authorities (or would-be authorities or used-to-be authorities).

Kiffin has made himself into the closest thing college football has to a wrestling heel, is what I'm saying.

When he's introduced at the beginning of the game, the boos might make the walls of Vaught-Hemingway Stadium crumble.

If this works, ONCE MORE, it means we're just a nation of ignorant bigoted assholes who will richly deserve the punishment, of various kinds, that we'll inevitably get.

The adjudicated rapist and convicted felon is, indeed, correct that some criminals are too dangerous to ever be trusted.

That is some kick-ass dancing.

Yeah, I certainly remember the infamous Willie Horton ad.

As I recall, Horton was let out of prison under some kind of furlough program that was actually put into law under his Republican predecessor. They probably didn't intend for the program to include violent offenders, but the state supreme court ruled that the law, the way they wrote it, had to include people like Horton.

The state legislature passed a new law that would have kept violent offenders from being eligible for the program, but Dukakis vetoed it. I would have liked an explanation for that veto, but never heard one. Perhaps Dukakis had a good, albeit technical reason for his decision. Or, just maybe, he was too busy fending off more ridiculous questions like "if your wife, Kitty, was raped and murdered, would you still be against the death penalty?"

Such is the life of a Democratic candidate. The Republicans are somehow still seen as the party of law & order, even after Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Trump's 34 felony convictions.

And I remember that it was none other than Turd Blossom who got Bernie Shaw to ask that question that destroyed Dukakis chances...

Some nice filkage, fresh from my febrile brain. See if you can spot the tune:

Man, I was driving home this weekend and thinking about our Queen M. That is DEFINITELY the most insane thing to happen to us. I am sad.

I got the same vibe from her stories as I got from ICC's. For awhile I was wondering if they might actually be the same person.

I was beyond shocked when I learned. She talked about her case a lot, but never about why they had a case against her. Now, I can see why.

So, every trump voter claims they voted for him because of the price of eggs, etc. Maybe the press could put two and two together and recognize that if that was the REAL reason then trump would be running on bringing costs down. But trump knows, magats know, and the press know that they voted for him because they're bigots. This kind of campaign should finally shut down the pretense, but it won't because the press like trump as clickbait. So, they'll keep pretending those racists at the diner are perfectly sincere and that trump's racist campaign doesn't exist.

I guess the Commie attacks aren't working, so they are going with the criminal attacks. Dems should respond with trump's conviction.

Or the pardoned J6ers who have committed other terrible crimes.

There's a bunch.

“…human brains really are too simple and prone to being fooled.”

And it’s not helped by the fact that about a third of the population is, literally, irredeemable fucking idiots.

Sane Confederates they always and ever were

The ones I'm worried about are the passives who stayed home in 2024 to the tune of 90 million strong and the passives who voted themselves for democracy but who weren't willing to be sufficiently active to #ArriveWithFive and pull those people off the couch

Oregon going for the 12th TD with less than two minutes to go was a dick move.

JD Vance, campaigning for Roger Marshall, claimed that his opponent, pastor Adam Hamilton said that it's "A sin to be White", and spits on the Christian beliefs of upstanding Kansans. These scumsuckers are the most egregious liars ever, and no media will ever call them out.

That's why we have to do it

It's totally okay to use the "r" word - RACISM - to describe what JV Dunce is doing right now ...

... to compare it to what he did in Ohio ans how unapologetic he was about telling lies as long as it led to those lies being repeated by the captured media ...

... to call him out as at fault for the permission structure it created for other racists to hound Pierre Damas Bel to the point where he took his own life

... and to confront our own passive internal versions of that RACISM so that this version doesn't have the same affect ... because the country literally can't afford it

The United States is losing its press freedom and its international trading partners because Donald, Goebbels Miller, Russell Vought, and Putin keep pressing those RACISM buttons

They know it's working

I wish White Americans who claim to be pro-democracy were willing to tell enough of the truth about that to themselves to push back on it

I guess we'll see

Early voting has already started in Virginia

People could call on the national Democratic party to NOT do what they did in 2024 and hold back the money for White consultants, and instead insist on them FUNDING candidates who are running in the South AND NOT JUST IN TEXAS

We'll see

Willie Horton-style stories, kicking out CNN and MS Now, threatening to wreck the Kennedy Center, yakking about that stupid arch or the East Wing, etc., none of it can deflect from the fact that he has fucked up everything he has touched, and the people are feeling it. Everything is blowing up in his face.
