Never has a man been more right in the history of the world.
This needs to become more common. That man behind the plate is a menace. Basketball playoffs…whatever. Yankees fans are trying to become as trash as Dodgers fans. Liverpool beat up on Everton, who now face the very real prospect of relegation. And Max won handily in Imola, while Sir Lewis Hamilton couldn’t get past Gasly and into…12th. His teammate came in fourth though. But it’s all the car’s fault. Sure thing. Anyway, that’s it for sports.
Looks like they must have talked to their lawyers. Good. This needs to happen if they don’t want to face some serious lawsuits about their fiduciary responsibility.
Let’s see if they fuck this up.
This will be interesting. I’m curious to see how Roberts will try to split the baby on this case, when it’s very much a 1A rights case and the guy was denied his, since the activity was completely voluntary.
It took them ten years to figure out this work-around? Man, government people are fucking dumb.
This guy is obviously familiar with a river in Egypt. And he’s definitely living very close to the shore.
They’ll vote for him anyway. That state is so gerrymandered, there’s not a half dozen competitive seats even when the ruling party has turned it into an unlivable shithole.
I guess they chose to shut up and pump gas. Good!
This is the only time you’ll hear about this. I assume because the colors of the participants doesn’t fit the narrative. Also, what happened with that DC shooter over the weekend? That went quiet pretty quick as well.
“We’re in the __________ business, not the advocacy business.” It would be refreshing to see this from about a thousand other companies.
It’s gonna be a shitshow. But it’s really just a correction, in my opinion. Way too much of this shit is overvalued and this has been a long time coming.
Here’s a gem. Also…here’s another one. They’r touring North America soon as well. I’m gonna do my best to see them.
Now, get out there and enjoy this lovely day, dear friends.
“Looks like they must have talked to their lawyers. Good. This needs to happen if they don’t want to face some serious lawsuits about their fiduciary responsibility.”
have no doubt that their goal still remains to keep Elon from taking the company over and this is just a fighting retreat on their part to avoid a shareholder revolution that will leave them without control.
Funny that a single tweet from Musk about a desire to take Tesla private was met with the full weight of the regulator’s boot and tens of millions in funes, but actual abdication of feduciary duty is met with indifference.
I don’t understand how they can put out the news that they are negotiating a close of the deal and then back out. Maybe something I’m missing.
“This guy is obviously familiar with a river in Egypt. And he’s definitely living very close to the shore.”
In a country where most people are motivated by how much government cheese they can get how to vote, the people promising everything for free have seen a drastic drop in people willing to leave them in power so they can keep collecting the free shit.
Plus the even if Team Red acutally runs the equivalent of Mittons V2.0 he/she/xe will be portrayed as the next coming of Hitler.

Why did poor Rex never get the ladies?
Bannon’s nickname which they used consistently in the series was “Race.”
And you notice they never mentioned Mrs Quest, either.
I think you mean Red Bannon.
If they had mentioned Mrs Quest, they would have been stuck having her complain that these fellas and their dog were always out and about, galivanting and doing crazy cool shit, instead of whatever crap she wanted, and that would have ruined the show…
I get what you are saying and remember the look on adult’s faces when I pointed out the conundrum here as a young one.

“This is the only time you’ll hear about this. I assume because the colors of the participants doesn’t fit the narrative. Also, what happened with that DC shooter over the weekend? That went quiet pretty quick as well.”
What baffles me is how easily the people that complain about how blacks in this country are being abused by police – correctly more often than not – seem to never want to point out that the biggest killer for black people is other black people. How can you tackle, let alone hope to fix, a problem you will not correctly identify the reason for? When it is all about the narrative, the takeaway is that they have zero desire or intent to help black community from suffering high crime and death.
Yeah, like if you were to ask about Frank James, the media would be all like “you mean Jesse’s brother?”.
Frank James?
The personality types guy?
16 personalities at the office
See anyone you recognize?
LOL, lots of good ones there.
“clothes-free Fridays”
“My favorite kind of work? Woodworking.”
These euphemisms.
Some of us have more than 16 personalities.
So you’re saying you’re 32-bit parts?
I wonder how many of these murders are committed by government and/or shadow government agents.
Even if the answer is zero, the government has culpability, with its stupid “War on Drugs”, “War on Poverty”, etc. that incentivize crime.
“Never let a good crisis go bye” can quickly become “We need some crisis to help us move shit along”…
Know what I am saying?
My black facebook friends occasionally post memes that basically say mass shootings are white people shit. Which I guess is true if your only source is watching NBC news or something. I like to use FB as a gauge of what regular people are concerned with. Blacks getting killed by cops definitely had some people outraged a few years back, then it died away completely. The much higher number of whites who are killed by blacks every year has gone unmentioned.
One of the very few times I ever agreed with Jesse Jackson – when he talked about how black on black was the vast majority of violence and that no one, white or black, really cared.
Not Jesse Jackson, but apropos.
You are operating under the misaprehension that BLM is about black lives. It is and always has been about obtaining political power by exciting a base using tribal associations and silencing opponents using claims of racism.
The communists think they are using the DNC, the DNC thinks they are using the communists, and the grifters are using both….
Re: NY gerrymander –
It’s supposedly illegal to gerrymander for partisan purposes (which is why a judge tossed the latest round of maps) but all the journalismists are saying “yeah, it’s technically illegal, but it needs to be done to counter the repub’s gerrymander of red states.”
Which is of course an open admission that they believe the purpose of NY reps is to benefit the Democratic party, fuck the “voters.”
If you need any more evidence that these fucks believe that they can break the law and do evil shit in the name of doing good, things like fortifying an election or trying to run a coup against a sitting president while pretending the criminal shit they were involved in was what he was doing, just look at this. They are not trying to censor and silence people because they have changed their mind about free speech (remember when they were all for free speech when they wanted to defend marxism and its atrocities and body count?), but because they now believe free speech is a direct threat to their agenda and causes.
That’s not the part that rankles me. It’s when other team does the same things and cries foul. That’s what annoys me most.
Expecting either side to play by the rules makes you the dumb one here, man. Our political class attracts scoundrels and criminals. Yes, team blue is a crime syndicate, but team red is also trying hard to be a country club version of the same. Why do you think they both abhor outsiders coming in to o the will of the people and make them all look bad?
They’ve been playing a very long game. Roger Baldwin (co-founder and 1st director of the ACLU) had this to say in 1934 (emphasis mine) –
They’ve always been dyed red marxists? Oh.

A lot of people fell for it.
Walter Duranty was not an outlier at the NYT.
They are still there.
Some dude was asking the Miami feed about finding fellow communists in the area. The flood of “about 90 miles south” messages was met with a double-down defense from the left citing “wet-foot, dry-foot fascists” not knowing what communism is.
Because people fleeing actual communist dictatorships don’t actually understand communism…..
On my recent trip to Vegas, I was sitting at a table with a guy who had fled Cuba, and a California landlord who had visited Cuba. The guy who fled Cuba was… not happy with the guy who had visited. The guy who had visited wasn’t expecting someone who fled Cuba to hate the government and leadership there with as much vitriol as he did.
So the commifornian couldn’t figure out the basic “Someone driven to flee the government isn’t going to approve of said government”? How do you end up that mentally deficient?
UCS: The California guy kept talking about how beautiful the country was, and how nice everyone was. The Cuban said, “Fuck supporting Castro, I want no one to go to the country until him and his family are dead and buried.” The Californian also braved asking if I was a Republican, and had no idea what a libertarian was.
… asking if I was a Republican
WTF starts talking politics with strangers in Vegas?
Yeah, they always pull that one out.
“Look at the old buildings! (That haven’t been renovated in seventy years…)”
“And all those cool old cars!”
The big difference between California and Cuba is that Cuba has fewer communists.
…fuck the “voters.”

The Chicago Sun-Times reports Chicago has seen a 15 percent drop in shootings in 2022, with a 10 percent decrease in homicides.
Success?
Here’s the Sun-Times article they cherry picked:
Chicago sees a drop in homicides and shootings, but carjackings and other crimes are up from year ago
OK, let’s compare all the stats from 2019.
Murders to date in 2019: 74
Murders to date in 2022: 124.
Well he did say some crimes were down.
Thank you, that’s exactly what I was fishing for. It’s amazing how a complicit media can either hype or downplay crime. If you’re the victim of a crime your personal crime rate is 100%. But if you’re not, what do you believe? How do you measure public safety?
The county had to go through the Historical Commission because the Tennessee Heritage Protection Act limits the removal or changing of historical memorials.
I will note that progs love them some historical preservation, and government commissions to address everything.
Especially when they need a foil to deny political enemies something they would otherwise do with their own property?

““We’re in the __________ business, not the advocacy business.” It would be refreshing to see this from about a thousand other companies.”
This is the biggest fear the left has: that the corporations they have bullied and bludgeoned into going and supporting woke, suddenly say they are out of the game.
If you come to the (correct) conclusion that you’re going to get fucked anyway, why bother?
I read the Ron Klain story in one of two ways:
1) The Dems assume either Trump will run or whoever does run they can smear enough (“Back in chains!” “Women in binders!” “Worst evah!”) that it will parallel the French election and no matter how bad Biden is, enough people will vote against the R to keep PPP in. Call it the McMuffin strategy.
2) Votes don’t matter — they’ve influenced how they’re counted enough to clinch it and this is just laying psychological ground to justify it after the fact.
Re: Exxon and political advocacy — definitely wish companies would get back to their core competencies and shut up about “changing the global culture” and whatnot (internally and externally — no, I didn’t choose to take your money to perform a job because I thought your company was ‘advancing human progress’ (I’d work at SpaceX for that) or ‘Because I share core cultural values’ (Across the whole planet? Really, you puffed up HR lackeys?!?) However, have to wonder what crap is coming their way with all the ESG score garbage. Seems everyone in that investment / Board / CXX suite group have lost their collective marbles.

“It’s gonna be a shitshow. But it’s really just a correction, in my opinion. Way too much of this shit is overvalued and this has been a long time coming.”
You are correct about the fact the shit is overvalued, but that is all part of the plan. They are intent on making as many people as possible dependent on government for their daily existence/subsistence, and thus, allowing them t do their great reset.
That is astute and profoundly sad. Consistent with government schools no longer teaching “shop”, how to change a tire, how to sew on a button, etc.

Efficiently told heartbreak tale.
This will be interesting. I’m curious to see how Roberts will try to split the baby on this case, when it’s very much a 1A rights case and the guy was denied his, since the activity was completely voluntary.
The conflation of employment with 1A continues. It’s like hearing that the NFL can’t punish the BLM football players who were kneeling because of the 1A, just with the script flipped.
The coach is able to pray all he likes off the clock. The 1A protects him from some governmental organization like the Saudi Religious Police from swooping him and jailing him for praying. The 1A does not apply to employment, either private employment or by the government.
Are you one of those monsters who think that our Somali brothers and sisters should be forced to handle bacon and pork as part of their jobs as checkout clerks?
*Now that I am thinking of that story, I realize that I haven’t heard a peep about it for a long time. I wonder what the resolution was? Did the stores cave? Or did the Somalis figure out that there was no payoff for their gripes and just let it drop?
That’s another good example.
It seems they handled prayer at football games a long time ago… I ended with the ubiquitous player lead prayer group at midfield after the game.
Not sure how the coach doing it by hi.self enters the fray…..
Let’s say my employer had a softball team and I coached it. I ended each game with a prayer. If my employer told me to knock it off and I ignored them and continued to do what they’ve asked me to stop, the best case is that I would be removed from coach. More realistic scenario is that I am (rightfully) terminated for insubordination and intentionally failing to comply with instructions from my employer.
It boils down to this… employer told employee to knock shit off. Employee didn’t stop. Intentional and repeated failure to comply with instructions is open and shut.
Your company softball team is playing games on the clock? Or on their own time? Because my employer doesn’t get to tell me what to do on my own time. Once the football game has concluded, is the coach on his own time?
Because my employer doesn’t get to tell me what to do on my own time.
Someone doesn’t understand our new patriarchal world. Boss knows best for you.
It’s a company softball team. The company can replace the coach or any of the players at will. The ability of the company to allow people to participate in company-sponsored activities is not dependent on if people are paid for their time or not. And participants are still representing the company while engaged in a company activity. There is a reason why company Christmas parties with open bars are not popular anymore. If they don’t want those terms, then don’t play on a company team. Go join a YMCA league.
Once the football game has concluded, is the coach on his own time?
Is the coach still wearing a uniform? Still performing coaching activities? If he dropped trousers and started publicly masturbating instead of praying immediately following the end of the game, would there be any discussion of “on his own time” versus if he was still wearing the coach hat?
Doesn’t work that way in the real world. If employer punishes you for praying after the softball game, you sue employer for violating your civil rights, and they create a prayer room and an ERG for you do go pray whenever you want as part of the settlement. Well, unless you’re Christian. In that case, they fire you for being a bigot.

Well, the British govt will do what no other league has been able – displace the Premier League as the world’s most popular. I take it the “DCMS” is an idiot conglomeration on the order of our DHS.
I think what kicked this off was the Saudi group buying Newcastle; then the Chelsea/Russian ownership thing came on top of that. Looks like you’re going to have to be politically correct to buy a team now. A group led by the Ricketts family was looking into buying Chelsea and that set off all kinds of complaints.
Well, if anyone can get the big money out, and turn the PL into a small business venture, it will be the govt.

Le Pen’s results “including a majority of working class voters and victories in many rural and suburban districts, illustrates the profound divisions in French society which will make Macron’s second term as troubled as the first,” Mujtaba Rahman, managing director at consultancy Eurasia Group, said in a note Sunday.
Le Pen’s performance in the 2022 election benefited from a change in tone from the far-right leader. Political analysts have noted how she became more moderate this time around, avoiding a focus on immigration or rallying against European integration. Instead, Le Pen chose to talk about soaring inflation and the weaker purchasing power of French citizens.
“We should not dismiss the increase in her vote share; it shows that her efforts to normalize her party and her policies are working,” Jessica Hinds, an economist at Capital Economics, told CNBC via email Monday.
OMG she’s “normalizing” what icky working class Frenchmen want. Ewwww.
One can see how the working class suffers from false consciousness about what really matters to them. Thus they must have the enlightened leadership of the revolutionary vanguard to guide them to the glorious future.

The Twitter board members certainly talked to their lawyers.
I bet they also spoke with the CFO. If they sell to Musk this week, they don’t have to release really bad financial results.
Yeah, those who could possibly have wrested control of Twitter away must know something is rotten at the company. It’s pretty damning.
That is the part I don’t get – Musk won’t make money on the deal.
Musk could get his ass handed to him in a number of ways. Reforming Twitter isn’t going to be a cakewalk.
Do you think Apple and Google are going to let Twitter slide if it starts allowing “hate speech”? And what about the commie revolutionary brigade that Twitter calls its workforce?
commie revolutionary brigade
OK, so he cuts labor costs, I still don’t see that turning Twitter into a profit-making enterprise.
Not in the short-term. Maybe he thinks he can run it like a business instead of a propaganda vehicle and make money?
Someone might wonder how Twitter makes money.
This is one way: https://theintercept.com/2022/04/22/anomaly-six-phone-tracking-zignal-surveillance-cia-nsa/
Well, that doesn’t improve my opinion of the clientele.
Why can’t I shake the suspicion that the French “far right” is somewhere to the left of Susan Collins and Mitt Romney?
That is the part I don’t get – Musk won’t make money on the deal.
Musk just said, at some conference, it’s not about the money, it’s about rescuing the platform.
Something tells me he looked into what it would take to fire up a legitimate competitor from scratch and decided it would be cheaper and faster to just buy twatter. And think of the savings when they fire twatter’s army of
censorscontent moderators.I don’t buy that the Twitter business model ever adds up. It’s a redux of the dot-com world.
Their ‘business model’ has no economics of scale, as adding more users simply causes overhead to go up at a similar rate without any corresponding revenue to offset it.

There’s a reason my cell phones are really desk phones.
Just like FB, you aren’t the customer, you’re the product.

Anger in Japan as Ukraine Links Emperor Hirohito to Adolf Hitler
https://www.bloombergquint.com/politics/ukraine-apologizes-to-japan-for-linking-former-emperor-to-hitler
I don’t see how allies could possibly be linked. That’s as ridiculous as linking the two of them with Mussolini
Now link Ukraine to Stalin?
Stalin was (IIRC) from Georgia. Everyone knows that people from Georgia are racists, so Stalin = racist. And racists are white, and most Ukrainians are white, so Ukraine = Stalin.

Probably drugs/ass, but worth reposting anyway.
The conflation of environmentalism, racial diversity, sexual orientation, and gender identity is illuminating.
Early signs of gay (NSFW)
I hadn’t seen that.
It’s just flat-out Marxist propaganda at this point.
Wake up, parents.
I read a comment this morning from an article about the FL ‘don’t say guy’ law, that pretty much nails it.
You take a kid that young, brainwash them and get them to take life altering drugs to change their sex hormones, they will become so emotionally damaged they will be dependent upon the democrat party for the rest of their life to get all the free psychological treatments they will require.
Don’t say “guy,” buddy.
Now you’re just muddying the waters.
But I was assured by the leftist Twitterati that this never happens!
I really don’t care about the praying football coach. I’m with Semi Spartan Dad. If the school told him to stop, and he didn’t, it’s fireable. The least he could do is be discreet, but something tells me he wanted to make it into a big deal.
I am, however, curious about just who complained about it.
Assholes, all the way down.

Japan Is Still Reckoning With the History Behind Pachinko
https://slate.com/culture/2022/04/pachinko-history-korea-japan-apple-tv.html
TW – Slate – repeat TW – Slate.
I wonder if the Slate writer has even been to a pachinko parlor? The participants are about as aware or interested as your random slots player here in the US.
Doubtful.
Although in this case it’s mentioning that ethnic Koreans in Japan worked in industries like pachinko as other employment options were limited compared to Japanese.
The article is actually a fair criticism. Fiction and non-fiction that is popular world wide, but critical of Japan frequently doesn’t receive a Japanese language release.
Even within, something like The Eternal 0 gets smeared as a right wing apology by one side and modernist anti Japanese by the other.
There’s a reason why Yokohama had a Chinatown, too.
My brother-in-law brought me to a pachinko parlor once. I couldn’t stand it. All the lights, noise, bells and cigarette smoke wasn’t my thing. I also suck at hand/eye coordination stuff like that.
The only interesting part of the whole trip was when the BIL took the stuffed animal he won playing pachinko around to the back alley and sold it to some “mysterious stranger” for cash. (There is no gambling at pachinko parlors!). The window was funny because it had a blind pulled all the way down so you couldn’t even see the guy buying the animal back. You just put the animal in a hopper and the guy gave out cash through the bottom of the window.
I only skimmed it but didn’t see anything objectionably Slate-ish.
The history should be taught but it should not be wallowed in, which is what is going to happen if Japan doesn’t keep the Marxists out of their every institution the way the United States failed to do.
Agreed on both points. I just prefer not have people click Slate links without knowing they are doing so.
?
A real TW is always appreciated
if Japan doesn’t keep the Marxists out of their every institution
?
Do you want to tell him, Sensei, or shall I?
You mean like my first Japanese language instructor who had no idea who Hirohito was?
Japan is weird when it comes to Koreans.
Recently, the country is gaga over all things Korean. Boy bands, food, dramas. They love it all. Yet, there is still a heap of discrimination agains people who have Korean blood. It isn’t as overt as it used to be, but there is still a lot.
My in-laws are pretty lucky because the wife’s sister married a very wealthy Japanese businessman. Like everywhere, being rich helps a lot. I try my very best to not dig very deeply into those conversations because I can’t do anything to help and it would only pick at scabs.
What always strikes me as extra weird is that the discrimination isn’t just against Korean immigrants (soju backs?), but even against Koreans who have lived in Japan for generations. The kids grew up exactly the same as Japanese kids, but they are just as excluded from being part of the Japanese Club as any gaijin.
I find the success that SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son rather interesting.
Lot’s of non-Japanese don’t know he is a 3rd generation Korean. I can’t make heads or tails out how Koreans born in Japan naturalize. He was born in Japan, but didn’t become a Japanese citizen until 1990.
Looming largely
In a sign that McCarthy may have mended some fences over the weekend and is trying to bolster his standing in Trump world, the House minority leader will lead a GOP delegation, which includes Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, to the southern US border on Monday.
Greene, an extreme pro-Trump lawmaker, has warned McCarthy will have to satisfy a series of demands before he gets votes for speaker from her and like-minded Republican representatives. The trip will underscore how immigration – perhaps Trump’s signature issue – is a glue that unites GOP factions and is at the center of the party’s midterm election quest given the White House’s vulnerabilities on the issue.
The McCarthy drama, which for a while last week threatened to shatter his career – until an outwardly magnanimous Trump collected his vow of loyalty – was triggered when two New York Times reporters revealed that McCarthy had told fellow top Republicans that he was considering advising Trump to step down after the insurrection in January last year. The House minority leader flatly denied the claim and slammed the reporters, Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns, as tools of a biased, corporate media. But appearing on MSNBC, the reporters soon revealed a tape that obliterated McCarthy’s denials and appeared to leave him on wafer thin ground.
In another time, McCarthy’s eviscerated credibility might have destroyed his political future. But in an age in which most GOP power depends on Trump’s patronage, McCarthy’s subsequent recommitment to the Trump movement might have actually strengthened his claims to the speakership.
If TRUMP! did not exist, these people would have nothing to talk about.
He could talk about political issues and how he plans to surrender them all to the left.
Not mentioned: Cheney pushing for him to do it. No conflict of interest at all in her current participation in the sham show trial Jan 6 committee.
“Looks like they must have talked to their lawyers. Good. This needs to happen if they don’t want to face some serious lawsuits about their fiduciary responsibility.”
Well, Elon is right, it’s clear the board’s goals are not aligned with the shareholders. So far, they have just beeen trying to protect their own asses, as they own almost no stock and have huge salaries for sitting in an occasional meeting where their main job seems to be to decide who gets banned this week.
Board needs to be replaced completely
If Musk succeeds, there will be no board.
No doubt they will be and most if not all will leave of their own free will as Elon said their salaries will be reduced to $0. Just wait for the attacks on Twitter from the entire left wing media, because it’s coming hard and fast. Twitter will be the new Nazis. NYT, WaPo getting ready to run those presses on overdrive.
Private companies don’t need a board.
If a privately held company is a corporation, it needs a board. Its written into corporate law.
Ah, good point; in my head I was thinking that was only required for public companies but you are correct.
The complete 180 from the MSM is going to snap all their necks.
I’m trying to figure out what the “journalists” will use as a replacement.
I don’t see a good option for them at the moment. Twitter’s user base is massive.
Twitter’s user base is massive.
Is it really? Haven’t there been studies about the bot-nets and that a tiny fraction of users generate the most content?
TikTok?
It’ll be more massive after Musk.
The censoring of conservatives was just done out of spite. They’ll use the platform more and there won’t really be an reason for left wingers to leave. They can block and curate who they want to talk to anyway.
You think they can accept a competing bubble? No, there can only be ONE bubble, dominated by their own groupthink.
They’ll just create their own bubble within the platform.
Hopefully a rival free speech platform doesn’t cut into the Glibertarians market share though.
Safe spaces will be needed. They’re going to run out of them faster than hospitals ran out of ventilators at the height of covid pr0n hysteria.
I guess they could use almost any other internet platform, the most of which will still censor conservatives.
This needs to become more common.
Anything to make baseball watchable.
Baseball is only good in person, watching on TV is less engaging than golf.
Curling is the supreme television sport.
For me that was NASCAR left on in the background before it got woke. I’ll still watch football and soccer though.
There should be a new sport named ‘mopping’. You got your mop and mop bucket and I’m still working on the details but it involves mopping.
Summertime version of curling?
The competitive mop is colloquially known as a “swab” and all the “swabbies” are trying to get to the poop deck to be the first to swab it. Getting there second is more hazardous because the playing surface gets fairly sloppy.
What about Soaping? I think it would be an extremely TV friendly sport
In person or on the radio.
Playoff baseball should go back to being day games.
“Twitter reassesses Musk bid, may be more open to deal” was the Journal’s lead headline for much of Sunday afternoon and evening, prompting newfound speculation about Twitter’s future.
And the dark night of fascism falls on the Twitterverse.
How dare a Billionaire own a media company!? It’s outrageous! Elon replaces Trump as Satan incarnate.
This is not a partisan point – it’s borne out by events of four tumultuous years of the Trump presidency, two impeachments and the ex-President’s lies that the 2020 election was a fraud. And it represents judgments by lawmakers about the views of their constituents in the pro-Trump base of the party, which remains strongly aligned with the ex-President and favorable to his alternative 2020 reality.
Wherein the noble proselytizing left wing journalist confronts the confounding and terrifying reality that not everybody sees the world in the same way he does.
Also conveniently ignores FOUR FUCKING YEARS of Democratic railing about the illegitimacy of the 2016 election.
Don’t forget how GWB stole the 2020 election by having Diebold hack the Ohio results.
Joseph Kennedy says the school district violated his religious freedom by telling him he couldn’t pray so publicly after the games, but the district says it was trying to avoid the appearance that the school was endorsing a religious point of view.

White House claims approval polls don’t matter and Biden CAN win in 2024: Chief of Staff Ron Klain points to French President Emanuel Macron’s reelection with just 36% approval rating
I guess the French fortified the election for their resident globalist as well.
Too bad we don’t have a Glibs correspondent in France. It would be nice to know how their votes are conducted.
I found and lost a great link from a couple weeks ago pointing out that the US breaks every single item on their checklist of “fair election” practices that are recommended to other countries when we’re “observing” them.
My understanding is they have staged elections where each candidate has to pass certain gates to move to the next stage–le Pen wins the early stages but ends up against people in the big election finding her a bridge too far. So she acts as a barrier to other right wing candidates getting into the main election?
Maybe.
But I can see similar happening with Trump if he really runs in ’24. He’ll fuck it up for better candidates and then lose to the D.
Still, the latest example of Trump’s dominance of the GOP could play into Democratic claims that the former President represents a mortal danger to American democracy.
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” Sunday that McCarthy’s conduct in recent days showed that he was a “liar and a traitor.”
“This is outrageous. And that is really the illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now, that they say one thing to the American public and something else in private,” Warren said.
Stop it. You’re killing me.
“a mortal danger to American democracy.”
They still have not explained at all, what this means.
Democrats might lose power. That is what it means, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Keep digging that hole, the left.
That state is so gerrymandered,
That’s only bad when FL does it.
I assume because the colors of the participants doesn’t fit the narrative.
Only black lives matter and only in certain circumstances.
That went quiet pretty quick as well.
Too much melanin.
For me that was NASCAR left on in the background before it got woke.
NAPCAR is like some sort of low rent hypnosis, for me. Five or six laps after they throw the green, I am in a state of deep, glassy-eyed relaxation. When the announcers get excited, I revive long enough to watch the crash replays.
Same here. Nothing puts me under for an afternoon nap like a NASCAR race.
Exxon Mobil will no longer allow banners of outside organizations on its flagpoles, angering some employees who in the past had flown a rainbow Pride flag.

Taylor Lorenz says that one of the reasons she revealed @libsoftiktok’s identity is because “for all we knew, this could have been a foreign actor.”
“People who disagree with me should not have a platform.”
Wait, Taylor Lorenz is 49?!
I thought she was just some idiot 20-something.
You were half right.
Correction, 43.
Hilariously, she’s been lying about her age – she ended up on a ’40 under 40′ list at… 42.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Lorenz#cite_note-Birthday-1
When you’re as dumb as a dumb 20-something while being a 40-something, you’re twice as stupid as if you were just a dumb 40-something.
It makes her awfulness is even worse, given that she can’t just chalk it up to youth and inexperience.
for all we knew, this could have been a foreign actor
So when you found it she wasn’t, you had no good reason to doxx her.
But you did anyway. So that’s not the reason you did it.
You’re supposed to be a professional, Taylor. You should tell better lies.
You’re going to make her cry.
It’s also been pointed out that they used foreign interference as an excuse to NOT report on Hunter Biden before. Foreign interference is the justification for everything they want.

Foreign interference is the new Vladimir Putin.

Nothing to see here.
Hunter Biden’s closest business partner made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations between 2009 and 2015, including a sitdown with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing.
Visitor logs from the White House of former President Barack Obama reviewed by The Post cast further doubt over Joe Biden’s claims that he knew nothing of his son’s dealings.
Eric Schwerin met with Vice President Biden on November 17, 2010 in the West Wing, when he was the president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners.
A million votes for LePen disappear on live TV. They don’t even hide the voting fraud any longer. Joe Biden will cruise to reelection.

Why do you trust what you see on TV?
Interesting that the projection in the lower right corner doesn’t change.
In an hour and a half, Macron picks up @250,000 votes, which seems plausible I guess. I’d like some verification this isn’t a photoshop, though.
