It's been reported that the Texas Republicans had an elephant mascot at their convention that, immediately after Abbot's speech, unloaded a massive amount of urine in the area between the

Delegates and the press area. I'm thinking that it probably overpowered the feed lot smell that permeates large areas of Texas.

Two great things that happened today:

1. My neighbors just got a new dog. Pretty huge dog. Looks part Doberman, maybe part lab. Really sweet. My dog is usually terrified of other dogs, but he was fine with the new dog. Who had escaped and absolutely destroyed the trash at the Air B&B (who I hate), trash ripped up, spread all over their driveway. So, good dog! He let me lead him back to his home after I introduced myself. I told one of his people that he really got into the Air B&B trash, she seemed entirely unconcerned about that. I laughed to myself.

2. I got my MIL to chair dance to Double Dutch Bus while I set the table for dinner. She really got into it, so that was fun.

OK. I just heard Sharon Jones and the Kings cover This land was Made for You and Me. I love the style and would buy a CD. Never heard them before. Which CD should I buy?

Street oysters in the summer!

What could go wrong?

FukuiSanYesOta's avatar

The Quebecois are excellent at oysters. I mean, they know what they're doing.

I wouldn't trust them in the USA, but Montreal? Yes.

Jebus, these incomprehensible violent alcoholics from Norf of civilization might actually win this. These teams are reasonably matched though.

The fascism considers itself 'underbabied' whatever that means, so they're doing what they can to cultivate mothers and track everyone else.

The happiest day in my whole life was when I finally got my tubes tied. 10 years later, Obergefell came down and the White House was lit in rainbows, and that's progress I intend to defend and claw back, as needed, which is a lot right now.

I have the Knicks game on with the sound off in the other room. I can see play on the TV screen but it's far enough away that I can't make out the score. It's halftime and I think they are losing.

At the tarp, somebody's playing "This Land Is Your Land." Good tune.

It was made for you and me. Or so I was told in grade school.

That kicks ass. Very different from when we were forced to sing it in grade school.

I like them. Their Christmas album is neat.

I got a rather ponderous document in the mail today. I'm a listed beneficiary of my sister and brother in law's trust. When she was alive, she cut me in for 1/3 of their assets. After her death, he revised the trust and I'm now in for a whole 2% of an estate of so far unknown value. I don't care, 2% of whatever they could have amassed won't do much to change my fortunes. Today's document is 60 pages of legalese bullshit. It would probably cost me more to hire a lawyer to decipher it than my eventual cut could be.

The bottom line, is JP Morgan Chase is refusing to release the funds to the estate trustee.

In conclusion, fuck Chase.

paul's avatar

Depends on 2% of what imo.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Still unknown, other than the tangible assets that don’t get counted when it comes to the other disbursements. BIL’s sister gets all of that before the rest gets divvied.

I never expected anything anyway, I wasn’t even aware I was a beneficiary until a few months ago. My sister died in 2020, and nothing was said. Her husband died last Thanksgiving.

Too bad he outlived her!

paul's avatar

Sorry to hear that. If you get nothing, you might be able to get dividends through spite later on.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Hah. The only spite is I’ve outlived him.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Yes, ALL the rudeness!

My brother in law and I were not friends.

Opalescent Riddles's avatar

Am I wrong that brother in law's the trustee?

Because it would seem to me that drastically altering the distribution to a beneficiary of the trust might be seen as violating the terms of the trust, in which case the trustee would be in breach of fiduciary duty or some other bad legal thingy.

That would amuse me if Chase is not giving him "his" moneys because he fucked up.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

No, he’s deceased. He’s the one who altered the living trust which became irrevocable upon his death. His sister is the trustee. I got no beef with her, and I don’t care if I get anything. After my sister died, I had absolutely nothing to do with him, no reason to because he was an asshole in life, and he’s an asshole in death. Also, maga.

There should be a doomsday list of all the things that won't happen until Trump is dead.

- Tarp coming down from Kennedy Center.

- A Trump absent White House.

- Persistent threats that criminals get paid for crimes with taxpayer's money.

- Businesses getting tariff monies without suing.

- Peace with Iran . . .

An end of the smell. . . and the algae in the reflecting pool. . . and the hate and divisiveness which has been tearing this country apart . . .

SkeptiKC's avatar

I'm not sure that the Depraved Despot's inevitable demise will effectively eliminate the currently gag inducing, overwhelming stench permeating the White House. It's all too entirely likely that his indicative stench has at this point permeated the very struture of the White House itself and functions as the ambient aroma therein.

Fuck me running; this is all so gawd damned dark and depressingly depraved.

"Does U.F.O. Disclosure Threaten Faith?"

No worries! NYT's 'Faith Expert', Ross Douthat is on the job!

(I read the article and it is mostly incomprehensible to me. But then I also do not really understand the whole "Dungeons and Dragons" thing either. No (or not much) judgement 😃 🔥)

Dungeons and Dragons is a fantasy role-playing game. You develop a character and go on adventures. Outcomes of events, battles, and encounters is based on dice rolls and statistics.

Think of it in terms of instead of reading the Lord of the Rings, you're actually taking part in Lord of the Rings (or any other book or movie of your choosing).

Appalachian in Thailand's avatar

To be fair, Douthat is role playing as a fantasy writer.

Oy!'s avatar

Kind of like the Bible, right? (😃)

(I know what D&D is)

BlueSpot's avatar

I have no doubt that there are role playing games based on the Bible.

Oy!'s avatar

The Bible *is* a role playing game.

That’s why they are all jumping on the “aliens are demons” bandwagon.

Did anyone see enough to know what the projector guys are showing?

*Snerk*

Yeah it's some young guys.

They show a picture of Piggy with "Had Enough?" under it.

Then show a nice future.

It's for Third Act, which I was a bit surprised by

OMG I bet they are going to leave those tarps up at The Kennedy Center through that petty little crybaby ******'s birthday weekend, so he won't have to see the wall-to-wall coverage of the image of the restored name.

It's like when he had them hide the name of the USS John S. McCain because McCain mocked him like the wretch he was, and continues to be.

Oy!'s avatar

Remember when he forced the coverup of the ship named after John McCain? Trump is a baby asshole.

Duh . . . I didn't read the whole comment I was replying to. I blame the liberal vodka

They'll leave it up till he's dead.

Oh, so, until tomorrow then. What? That's not a threat. It's gonna be really hot tomorrow and he gets steamy during UFC matches. It could happen.

Or lightning?

Or like, 5 billion mosquitoes could fill his lungs...

Aquaman, Real Estate Investor.'s avatar

Hey! Stupid AI wank!

I read that the CIA discovered a secret Russian program that can train mosquitoes to fly into a specific persons lungs.

And online Communists have been working with Bill Gates and theres 100 billion sterile mosquitoes who have been programmed to fly into Trumps lungs, hidden inside drone deployment systems spread across DC.

If Trump goes outside he risks dying in a cartoonishly horrifying way.

They tried to hide Eric, but he keeps popping up like qhack-a-mole

I'd forgotten about the whole hiding the USS McCain thing.

Donald Trump is such a wimpy little whiney bitch.
