I’m starting to that the more they attack them, the better they poll. And they raise even more money. Republicans messaging isn’t working anymore because the visuals contradict what they say. Someone needs to create an ad where in the background all the images of their cruelty play in a loop. And let’s not forget when Abbott put razor wire in the Rio Grand so little kids could get caught up in and drowned. There are a good number of MAGA cultists who are starting to turn away from the cruelty that is now the policy of the trump administration. And we already know that even though trump isn’t running, he is still how they base their votes. Maybe add some visuals of all the promises trump made when he was campaigning in contrast to every single one he hasn’t kept, and never planned on it. Throw in a visual of Project 2025 so maybe what he always planned on will sink in. There has to be enough lies and cruelty that will shake republican voters awake to the fact that trump does not care about anyone except himself and the billionaires who are all implicated in the Epstein files. Voters tend to have a short term memory, especially when trump floods the zone with new atrocities every day. They need to be reminded about the worst of them. The corruption, the cruelty, the fact that he cares more about foreign countries that shower him with gifts and praise, instead of for the people who put him in the White House. I know there is so much of it out there, but we need to pick the worst of the stuff that even maga didn’t vote for. Like a little kid with a bunny hat being taken by ICE.
Also, finding that the more that they actually run AS PROGRESSIVES and not like they are trying to hide their party affiliation, they are doing better.
Oh yes Crockett and Talerico. Crockett a true Progressive who's proven her bona fides and talarico a religious Centrist. Gee I wonder which one means change and which one means status quo. And of course the DNC is going to back the status quo to try to get rid of another pesky Progressive
Some of my Austin friends are grousing about the percieved inability of "some" voters to vote for a black woman over a white guy. So, hate ob us if you want, but there is some 3-D chess going around down here.
Talarico is no Fetterman, and basically the overwhelming issue is the final value of "N", where "N" is the number of Democrats in the Senate. The country is in an existential crisis.
That said, Crockett would likely be better if she can be elected, but like our Good Doktor, I'll take either one.
Baconz has been going nuts on 30-40s films lately. I was into chocolate treats last year but now im into salty snacks....I guess that doesn't make much sense.
Maybe in 3 months I'll want to watch noir films from Denmark or Pete & Pete.
Talerico seemed nice on Colbert. I don't think Ms. Crockett will even b other to take names, just leave body parts strewn in her wake. I am not a registered TX voter, but think I would be team Crockett.
I made a bit of a weak attempt at a joke a while ago that referenced Dec 31. 1959. Here's a bit more from the Wikipedia entry for that date. Caution: this involves numbers.
"At the end of the year, NASA funds in support of Project Mercury had been obligated to the listed organizations as follows: Air Force Ballistic Missile Division, Atlas launch vehicles, $22,830,000; Army Ordnance Missile Command, Redstone launch vehicles, $16,060,000; and McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, Mercury spacecraft, $49,407,540."
But wherever he is, he's buggered off again somewhere that is not Israel for the duration. And I bet his entire family is nowhere near the places being targeted by Iran, because of course they're not. They're YHWH's *real* chosen people.
Stalin didn't leave Moscow when the city was threatened by the Nazis.
His family is not chosen anything. His wife is generally reviled (going back many years) and his son is a neo-nazi that appeared on posters for the AfD in Germany
THANK you! Our whole road trip a couple weeks ago we totally lost the moon, and without the internet we could only speculate that it had been sold off, or possibly paywalled.
"Yeah, we think we remember sanity. Big guy, red suit, gives kids presents? Isn’t sanity a myth?"
Just have to quote Chico Marx here: "You can't-a fool me! There ain't-a no sanity clause!"
"The party of the first part ... "

actually he's more populist than she is - and i do not love that moniker.
they're both fucking amazing and let's let TX decide and then we can throw shit at paxton.
sound good?

That metaphor probably makes less sense too also.

A point I've pondered lo these many moons, came up while thinking about Bibi's exodus:
Is chickenshit one word or two?
I think it's 1 word, unless you are speaking specifically about the shit of chickens
I'd prefer to go back to the original Aramaic first before attempting to answer that.
דּוּכְתָא דּוּכְתָא
But those two are the same word...what am I missing?
It's one word.
I knew it all along.
Maybe the best band that should have been much bigger, the Mr. T Experience. Super clever lyrics.
Because it's time to get drunk after four months and forget all the bad shit.

Apparently Netanyahoo has fucked off again.
Maybe to Italy. Some say Germany.
But wherever he is, he's buggered off again somewhere that is not Israel for the duration. And I bet his entire family is nowhere near the places being targeted by Iran, because of course they're not. They're YHWH's *real* chosen people.
Stalin didn't leave Moscow when the city was threatened by the Nazis.
Hitler stayed in Berlin.
Priam didn't abandon Troy.
Zelenskyy very pointedly stayed put.
They're in Cancun with Ted Cruz, many people are saying.
Unlikely. Mexico would send him to The Hague.
lol
In the air again
I just can't wait to get up in the air again
The life I love is making war with all my friends
As long as I'm up in the air again
In the air again
Not in my house where missiles might descend
Taking out Iran, 'cause this chance won't ever come again
And I'm way up here in the air again
(Everybody sing)
In the air again
Not a big old sucker, I am so far away
Donald's my best friend
Making sure that none of the flak comes my way
Not my way
"Where's Bibi"
Bibi the Explorer.
His family is not chosen anything. His wife is generally reviled (going back many years) and his son is a neo-nazi that appeared on posters for the AfD in Germany
Netanyahu's son is a neo nazi??? Wow, I feel better about my parenting. The teen years and early 20s have been rough, but we're not nazis.

Holy shit.
They’ve chosen themselves to be somewhere else other than where the war is happening.
Can't be too careful, doncha know.
Maybe he is in an ICC signatory country.
(We can dream, can't we?) . . .
If he's in Germany he would be in an ICC country.
Isn't Greece? Like that mattered last time.

That comment section is a hot mess! Thank goodness we don't allow comments here.
I'd have to retire to my fainting chaise if such a thing occurred!! Mercy!
Some of the Iranian strikes have been quite precise. Sure don't wanna be hanging around the house like Khamenei.
Tonight's moon:

It's good to know someone's got eyes on it!
Plus one for user name.
Great photo.
Thank you. Nice steady air tonight.
