That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“Donald Trump, 18 others indicted in Georgia election probe”
The people will not be allowed to choose a president not owned by the corruptocracy.
And they will assassinate him if it comes to that.
Apparently
Doesn’t bode well either way. At all. Feeling like 1850, only there are no clear borders this time. Chaos and hard times looming.
Do not fear that 30 million number. Its mostly soy boys and urban anti-2A females. If there is real violence, they mean someone else does the dirty work for them. I would bet the people able to do violence are far more likely to be in the 18 million second group.
I don’t want violence. But I will not accept the corruptocracy’s demand everyone shut up and let them keep doing business as usual.
The someone else includes antifa and the government.
Contrary to Joe Biden’s idiotic claim that to fight the government you need F-15s and tanks, all you need is to know where the families of the people that would still want to fly/fix the F-15s and tanks they government has ordered them to illegally use on the citizens live, and a few hand guns to take them hostage..
As for antifa, so far they have had government shield them from consequences. In an open season antifa being mostly idiots and fools would be done real quick.
Let me know when those killed at OKC are no longer considered innocent victims.
The borders would be the exurbs of every major urban center, with the suburbs as a battleground.
“Georgia DA files then retracts felony charges against Trump before grand jury even votes”
It’s more of the same coordinated efforts by team blue that we keep getting told never happen – wide spread criminal behavior in everything from election fortification to running the government (into the ground) – and just more evidence this is all about making sure the people that have decided the corruptocracy must go hear them loud and clear that they will not go without a fight.
Yeah — all the indictment madness this morning made me think of JI. As far as anyone can tell, non of these prosecutors actively colluded… they didn’t have to — they all shared similar goals and motivations… given similar opportunities, they took similar paths.
Which sounds very, very familiar since that’s the argument/theory around why there’s what sure looked like a lot of fortifying election shennanigans without an active conspiracy and all.
Discovery should be fun. Maybe we’ll find the leaking pipe that made them stop counting votes on election night.
No worries, the judge will put a gag order on Trump and his team.
You assume they are doing this because they have a real case and will then end up failing. They know they have no real case. They will also try make sure we are not able to get any truth about their agenda until it is too late. The goal here is to make sure the people that want to get rid of the bloated and corrupt bureaucracy have no avenue to even try to do that. I saw this sort of shit a lot 40 or 50 years ago in third world shitholes. D.C. Needs to be nuked.
Careful – the FBI just murdered an old guy for making spicy comments online.
The joke about “being on a list” for participating here gets less funny every day.
Doesn’t matter, the carefully scripted narrative coordinated by the DNC and their media propagandists will be out there in full force and any discovery accidentally allowed will be quickly minimized and memoryholed.
“Fears Maui wildfire death toll will be unprecedented as 1,300 people remain missing and just 3% of the search area has been scoured”
And we will not find out that it was more of the usual political/government mismanagement any time soon, because this time and in this place, they have no team red people they can claim botched things up..
Oh ye of little faith.
Bush basically said no comment about Katrina and nearly lost his presidency. Biden? “What was he supposed to say?” LOL fucking love this country.
Wonder if we will get a retrospective timeline of Biden along the likes of this
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-look-back-to-2005-president-bush-and-katrina/
I mentioned this on Twitter yesterday. There are a number of single issues that have sunk presidencies, from Katrina to “It’s the economy stupid.” Biden has done like 6 of those same ones in just half a term. And yet somehow he’s polling in the lead.
I haven’t trusted polls for years.
It doesn’t matter when you are the standard bearer for Team Fortify. The polls are only designed to make a Biden “victory” seem plausible.
Mismanagement, nothing — if the reports that they actually (permitted? licensed? not sure what exactly was alleged on this one) were gearing up for high rise condos in an area where that was impossible until this oh so conveniently cleared the path… well, if anything is going to bring out a vindictive mob these days, you’d think that would.
You’d think, but it won’t, especially that will be buried by the media, and thus unknown to the people affected since they are Democrats and don’t trust or listen to anything other than the MSM.
I have heard that the people in charge simply didn’t respond to the start of this catastrophe (like activating the Tsunami warning emergency system) until it was not just way too late, but then chose to do things to cover their asses rather than do anything to help.

Da FUQ?
The squirrel emergency system has been activated.
Is that the Sad Trombone Wha-Wha-Wha?
The squirrels remembered when Hawaii was under attack.
By the Germans, right?
I just remember it was Trump’s fault. The fires will also be blamed on Trump. Fire orange, bad man orange, coincidence? I think not.
Dammit… Fetterlump is running the legal system now? “GRRRAR! FIRE BAD! ORANGE MAN BRING FIRE! LUMP SMASH!”
According to this guy, the Maui police blockaded the evacuation route. Sounds like a total shit-show of incompetence and maybe malice.

“Inflation Forces Typical American Household to Spend $709 More per Month Than 2 Years Ago”
I know I am spending a lot more than that. And getting far less for that money spent. worse yet, it is feeling that if I wanted to go with early retirement, it is now postponed by at least a decade. And government keeps making decisions that reduce my freedoms and options in the name of a cult of Gaia.
When it gets to be too much and you decide to end it all, putting your head in the oven is going to take much more commitment than when we had gas.
Well, that’s a shocking take on the whole situation.
Now don’t be a hot head!
“Two Princeton, MIT Scientists Say EPA Climate Regulations Based on a ‘Hoax’”
The nasty reality is that most of them know this climate shit is all a hoax. But they know that if they want a government or government aligned private sector industry grant, they better parrot the doomsday shit the cult wants. But when you tell the people that told you nobody could or should trust any research paid for by the fossil fuel industry because it has an agenda that governments have an agenda too and far more money to spend, they accuse you of being a conspiracy theory nut.
What it’s really about is forcing massive government spending in order to get the Fed to print and thus bailing out the European banks which depend on the Eurodollar system.
It’s no coincidence that the loudest wailing about climate change is coming from the EU.
Everything else associated with it, like the grifting and control, is just a bonus.
“It’s no coincidence that the loudest wailing about climate change is coming from the EU.”
The EU isn’t doing this for just for money: the globalist cabals are doing this because they want to return to the feudal systems of old, and the sheep were supposed to happily go along with that. Unfortunately for the globalists, populism is coming back even in Europe.
A bonus for the elite class, but their immediate problem is the EU banks’ balance sheets are absolute shit. Powell is ass-raping them right now with higher interest rates and the screeching has gotten even louder as a result.
It’s no coincidence that with each rate hike, the climate situation gets even more “dire.”
Even more dire? We were just given an extension to 2030 before we perish. We were supposed to be goners already. How dare you question our brave and benevolent leaders.
It has been 2030 since at least 2019…here was the clock I created back then: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20301007T00&p0=64&msg=Doom%21&ud=1&font=serif

GLOBAL BOILING
The news they didn’t want you to see today.
https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1691184306742292481
Interesting that the “Georgia Federal Elections Committee” is pretty high up there. Funny that.
Poking around a little on the web.. FEC page on them makes me think “Dem party SuperPAC” — open secrets is what I found interesting: https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/collective-impact-pac/C00041269/summary/2022
Gee… out of fucking nowhere they go from $7M to close to $50m? And holding? Given how many other state committees are in that list… that’s a lot of money flooding a lot of elections if this was any indication. I’m sure it is all above board and not this sort of fuckery in toto…. Sure.
And yet they still couldn’t get Stacy Abrams elected governor. Hmm.
Some lifts are just too heavy.
Or, with a good GOPer as her opponent, they just didn’t really care.
Did you notice that they dropped the charges against Sam that would have led to an investigation of the political class’s involvement in his racket? Note that if they are unable to get him on this new slew of charges on corruption without avoiding the political donations being investigated, that it will also likely be dropped. The machine’s goal is to give the plebes the illusion of justice, but in the end, this guy either gets Epsteined or walks, because the deep state will protect itself.
The sad part of that analysis is that it isn’t that long ago that people using phrases like “the deep state” were automatically kooks. But now? They don’t even bother hiding it. The pretty much dare you …. “We are putting this guy in jail. And if you know what is good for you, you’ll shut up, or it’s jail for you too… if you’re lucky!”
“I love it when a plan comes together”
The beauty of it is that there so many are involved that want to keep sweeping. Compromise the law makers and not worry.
Ah yes… “standing” again. Makes me wish for an 11th Amendment back in the day “When it comes to questions of constitutionality of a law or an action of the Executive Branch, all citizens shall be considered to have standing to challenge said law or act.”
Given that seems as clear to me as “shall not be infringed”, I’m sure if it had been there it would now be used to ensure only properly admitted members of the Bar or something could sue.
But kids in Montana have standing on climate change.
I can see the judge’s point on that one. They were dumb enough to literally put “improve the environment for the next generations” or some such in their state constitution… kind of left the door open there. (Yes, when they wrote it they didn’t think of this insanity… more of the “being good stewards” type stuff).
I can’t. People who are directly impacted by something the government actually does – no standing. People with a purely speculative impact decades in the future because the government isn’t doing something – standing.
Really?
I’d argue both have standing. The Montana Constitution is a special case and the only reason the Montana case does have standing in my eyes.
If you can’t take the government to court to argue that they aren’t fulfilling this part of the contract (Constitutions being contracts between the citizens to structure their government after all) — you don’t have much redress. I don’t think it is the best idea here… but that’s their current constitution, so that’s what they have to work with.
I disagree with the Judge that the climate science is sufficiently settled that the Legislature is in violation of section (3) — but I do agree that the suit can be brought.
Against the state, perhaps. Against the legislature, no. And the remedy for the state not acting is the legislature is enforce it, not the courts.
Same with general statements like the above. Similar to judges forcing states to fund schools and spend where the judge decides because a clause like “schools in the state shall be funded by the state government”.
Need moar woodchippers.
Anyone who paid off their student loans and is subsidizing the deadbeats who aren’t paying them off has standing.
So you’re saying because they couldn’t ski as much as they wanted is not a legitimate grounds for standing?
By the time the dust settles and pay back time rolls around the borrowed money will be so cheap that it’ll only be a day’s pay for those employed baristas.

Regarding the GA shenanigans: I’m from Georgia and other than some overseas work, have lived here all my life. Right now I’m standing an hour from the ATL airport – so not very close, but not very far. You know how Chicago politics, and NYC politics, and others, have well-known reputations? Well, ATL/GA politics have something similar, but I don’t know how well-known it is to folks who aren’t from here.
The ATL part is this: Everything about the city/county and everything it touches is as bad as you could possibly imagine. The “broken pipe” was not a surprise. Everybody knew they were cooking something up for that night. And to, out in the open, do all of that knowing they would be untouched, muddy everything about election certainty, and then bust Trump’s people for objecting or calling for pushback was the plan from the start. Normally we think of city politics as crooked; in ATL it’s beyond that to plain culturally evil.
The GA part is this: GA politics (all of it) runs on crony-ism to a degree that’s hard to fathom. They’re bought – all of them. And the capital and all the administrators are IN Atlanta. Kemp/Raffensperger are fully bought-in to ATL big-money cronyism, period. They’re officially Republicans, but they sit in Atlanta. And they’ll basically play along with whatever the proggie zeitgeist in Atlanta does.
So, none of this was an accident. The fix was in from the beginning.
For some strange reason, people think that if it’s not a NE blue stronghold, it’s not subject to the same dynamics of corruption.
Miami says “Hold my beer”.
It used to be that the rest of the state could outweigh ATL+Athens+Augusta+(somewhat Savannah)… now apparently it doesn’t.
But yeah — I remember plenty of scandals regarding Fulton and Dekalb county politics… they were the JV dumb enough to get caught. The ones that weren’t made it to the state capital at least.
Part of why I think my original plan to retire (hah! Like I won’t be stuck working until I keel over) to my house around Gainesville isn’t going to work out and I’ll need to go towards NE AL or somesuch… last time I drove through there it looked much more like the Georgia I grew up in.
The shape of Fulton County is evidence of corruption.
Here is my question:
How did Georgia go from a 60/40 state in 2000 to a 50/50 state in 2020?
The population did increase quite a bit – from 8 million to 10 million. But were those northern transplants? Or homegrown? I do know that during my time in atlanta in the 90’s, we went from a rather small hispanic population to having areas where english was not spoken. So there were at least some significant demographic changes. Areas north of the city have been transformed from rural to wealthy suburbs – but I always assumed those were mostly natives.
Probably not just northern transplants, and more likely young educated (culturally left) attracted by jobs.
Mostly these 2, yes, IMO.
And even among the (younger) natives, the social media culture pulls folks who are externally “normal” and conservative to feel like they have to say all the right proggie things. This is basically invisible to old folks unless you have an “in”. In my case it’s mostly mentoring work with new hires. Even among smart folks, the cognitive dissonance and social conditioning is frankly shocking.
It is the cognitive dissonance that I also find so shocking. I run into it every once in a while, and they have this armor built up such that no evidence can alter “the facts” of their world – yet they don’t reject the evidence. It is so weird to see people saying “yes, I see that is a shape with four sides. Yes, a shape with four sides is a square. No, that is not a square, it is a triangle.”
And yet twice, GA has rejected Abrams for governor. At least with the last loss, she showed some grace and sense of reality. Which is even odder, considering the machinations that are supposedly controlling results.
That’s not odd at all. Kemp is a better look for the money machine than Abrams.
And the “grace” seems more likely to be that she’s learned her part in the whole thing.
You’re conflating the ATL thing and the GA thing into one; they’re not. They touch each other in a few ways, but it’s not a stereotypical monolithic D power machine.
Atlanta power politics are all about race. It is a two layer system. There are the race hustlers who make sure that the votes are delivered and in return get dedicated race-based handouts to local business. And there are the rich Buckhead folks who hold the puppet strings. This communist/progressive power base is something new that I don’t have any insights into.
To go a little OT — I found this article tickled my interest this morning.
Mainly for this quote:
Not to get all Jordan Peterson on y’all (the old Biblical line about being unworthy to untie the man’s sandals [intellectually] seems apt) — but given my son has what I consider decided impulse control issues (tends to eat a bag of chips in one setting, emotional outbursts, etc.), it resonated with me. He’s still young enough that it isn’t a crisis, and we’re working on it… but yes, that very much feels like most of my role (at least these days). And the backslide into Chaos as the infantilization of the mob also rings true. It lets those encouraging it not only break down society (so they can seize power to “fix” it), but as they put more and more people in the role of children — it becomes more natural for them to step in as pseudo-parents (aka Big Mother as the Left’s current totalitarian state seems to be trying to shape itself into).
I don’t have any fixes… or any real thoughts beyond “I really think this is true — and I have and will do my best to prevent it from taking root in those I can”… but I thought it was an interesting enough topic to bring to our collective morning table here.
Whether you believe in the devil or not, it sure feels that the left has adopted all the things he stands for.
Not all the demons are at the Walker Museum, many reside across the river in St Paul at the east end of University Avenue.
So what you are saying is that White Castle is still there?
Much of modern leftism is simply about the rejection of shame. Hedonism is the goal, but what we end up with is nihilism. Allen Ginsberg and the Beat poets led the way.
This is also the problem with cosmo-libertarians.
Cosmo-libertines.
It is not just shame but all norms and categorizations. This is why they have these shocking new discoveries like the value of marriage or anything else that was common sense 20 years ago that they’ve spent their lives trying to destroy. Just think of all the BLM defund the police activists now calling for police responses because others no longer fear consequences.
A Georgia grand jury on Monday night handed up an indictment charging former President Donald Trump and 18 others with engaging in a broad conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.
TO add to the bs charges were filed before the grand jury convened and retracted. Seems legit.
In addition to the former president, the others facing charges include former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, attorneys Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, Ray Smith, Robert Cheeley, and Sidney Powell; would-be Trump electors Shawn Still, Cathy Latham, and David Shafer; pastor Stephen Lee, election official Misty Hampton, publicist Trevian Kutti, former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, Trump campaign official Mike Roman, Scott Hall, and Black Voices for Trump leader Harrison Floyd.
Just throw all of the political opposition in jail on trumped up charges.
Trump also faces myriad conspiracy charges and multiple counts of soliciting a public official to violate their oath.
This is laughably dishonest. Nearly every public officeholder is guilty.
He also faces charges for allegedly making false statements to state legislators and officials.
I don’t recall him ever being under oath.
Do we even export bananas?
Is not RICO a federal statute? How does a state DA prosecute that?
Not even a state DA, a Fulton County attorney, and, all together now, because FYTW.
I read in a different article that Georgia has RICO-type laws that she is using.
Georgia Case Presents Unique Challenges for Trump—and Prosecutors
And let’s all remember how we were told these extraordinary measures were only for the worst class of criminals.
It’ll be very interesting to see how she equates an election campaign with a criminal organization. At first blush this grand jury appears to have brought back and forth to court on a short bus.
This entire thing should be enough to get the entire team disbarred. The idea that petitioning your government for a redress of grievances is now a criminal conspiracy is not just “laughably dishonest”, it demonstrates absolute contempt for the law, the constitution and our entire way of government.
Pretending for a moment that the entire Trump complaint and all of his team’s theories about alternative recourses in the electoral college were not just completely wrong, but maliciously so – exactly how is any of that criminal in moments prior to actually acting to present alternate electors as the true electors? “Conspiracy”?
The new paradigm they have created – where asking your lawyer for advice about various strategies is now criminal conspiracy – is dangerous. Every company, every company executive, every politician, every government official high enough to consult an attorney – they all are vulnerable to this strategy.
And remember, they have also normalized raiding your attorney, seizing all of his work product and indicting him in order to pressure him to flip against you. I really can’t think of anything they could have done that would be more damaging to the rights of the accused, and nobody is even complaining about it.
And wait until you see what the next level is after they get away with this.
In the past I could never understand how a modern, civilized Western society like Germany could succumb to Nazism.
I no longer wonder.
I have been saying this for some time. I always wondered “who supported Hitler?” Now I know… a very small, very vocal minority can move the herd, even though most of the herd disagrees with all of it. Herd mentality is built into our DNA, and it is extremely dangerous.
“Judge Upholds Biden Plan To Wipe Out Student Loan Debt For Nearly 1 Million Americans”
So they finally found another corrupt judge to help them with this pre-election vote buying racket? Why is it that so many have been conditioned to believe that the people that claim to be the better humans, but believe they are such because they demand others provide funding and labor so they can get things they demand be free to themselves, are in the right?
U no question da finer clay! 😠

More details. Still awful the mom died.
Color me surprised not one bit. I knew that was all personal small town petty bullshit.
I absolutely love how much attention this is getting. Reason did a roundtable about it and everything. It is all over the news.
Some small town police department and a small paper in a local kerfuffle gets national attention. (this is as it should be)
Yet…. there was wild cheering at the raids on James O’Keefe. They didn’t even bother mentioning how the FBI shared his lawyer’s notes on their lawsuit against the NYT with the NYT. Folks should be in jail for that one. Yet? Crickets.
Or spying on the NY Post ahead of the 2020 election? Nobody seems to worried about the FBI doing that. Or about the FBI using the results of that spying to pressure every media outlet and social media platform in the country to censor a story in order to directly interfere in the presidential election.
How many other state abuse of media scandals are there that we never even heard about?
Of course they did. Because unlike the brazen corruption in DC, hating on the rubes is IMPORTANT.
What difference, at this point, does it make?

I know I posted this around midnight. But that was midnight and nobody is around save a few night owls.
My first print was mostly successfull.
There were a few hiccups that will inform future prints. I did spill some resin, so the print area is sill fumigated until I figure out the best way to clear that up (I’m seriously thinking of just curing the puddle in place to stop the fuming)
You might want a fan with an exhaust you can put outside (like a pipe going out a window).
I think it looks good. I whittle sticks though, that is the limit of my artistic endeavors.
I love this comment.
When I was a kid, this was the pastime of choice for the Old Timers. They would sit by the courthouse whittling and playing checkers. I learned to whittle long before I probably should have. My grandfather gave me a pocket knife and I would make pointy sticks with smooth, clean sides. I was probably 5.
My, how the world has changed.
You’re a real whittlin’ man?
Nice! Now I want a resin printer even more.
I did note that while printing, the fumes were all contained, but when extracting the finished print and cleaning up the printer you get the most. I was really happy for the respirator during that step.
But yeah, this printer has a 35 micrometer print resolution, so the details are crisp and you don’t see the lines on the smooth faces.

My son should be in there.
When he played baseball, he would rev up before he ran.
He would run in place for a couple seconds and then take off.
He would also chase butterflies when he was in the outfield.
Not the best on the team, but he did enjoy it.
This is a real knee-slapper.
One reporter asked her the most pointed question of all: was there a political motivation behind this indictment against Trump?
“I made decisions in this office based on the facts and the law,” she replied defensively. “The law is non-partisan.”
Left unsaid (because lawyers know how to lie by omission, after all..) — “How I choose to interpret and apply it, however…”
The law is non-partisan.” – ah a comedian
It’s just a coincidence that all these cases against Trump just happened to be brought all at the same time, and timed to inflict maximum affect on the election.
And we all know they wouldn’t be happening at all if he’d decided not to run again.

Ever notice how the anti- “neoliberalism” crowd that obsesses over Milton Friedman’s fleeting encounter with Pinochet is also entirely unbothered by Angela Davis’s much more substantial connections to murderous Marxist dictators like Castro and Honecker?

Davis is a vile human being whose murderous inclinations can be traced directly back to Marcuse.

The government here has been working on this for years. Not only do you risk robbery by having the cash on hand, you also risk having the state come in and take all of your assets if you make regular bank deposits of cash. Bonus, with the newly invented “structuring” crime, you can go to jail for making regular deposits below reporting levels.
Combine this with Obama’s creation of the “unbanking” of undesirables under threat of nebulous regulatory actions, and you have the enforcement arm of your social credit score in place.
We have already seen this used to prevent the creation of a free speech platform (Parlor).
The noose is already around our necks. And they are already tightening it.
If you dine at a restaurant and they refuse to take cash as payment, then fuck them if they are refusing to accept payment in cash, which is “legal tender for all debts public and private”. I only have cash, either take it or thanks for the free meal.
This. I will leave the amount on the table and walk the fuck out at that point. Indeed, I did something like that at Cheese Penis in Berkeley (a no tip place, and I just wanted to get out of there as the service was so shit it was taking forever.)
I’d have to question the hygiene of that place on name alone.
Who’s going to eat the CC fees cuz that shit ain’t gonna fly here because racist.
Woo hoo, wildfire smoke has pushed in. Sun is glowing an angry red color this morning.
This should be fun.
TRUMP BOOKING PHOTO COMING: Fulton County Sheriff says ‘we’ll have mugshots ready for you’ when President Trump is arraigned in election conspiracy case
I wonder if they are intending to layer on some humiliation, or just take regular pictures.
It certainly seems like this crew is doing it for the “make him appear powerless” part of the election strategy. Put him in a mugshot. Put him on TV having to stand and listen to lectures by the judge.
Also, if this goes forward – with a case this convoluted, how long could they drag this out? I wouldn’t think a months long trial would be out of the question, even though they actually are prosecuting over a couple of sentences in a phone call at the root of everything.

You can’t do it anyway. So give up trying. Learn something else instead.

German is only a category II language for native English speakers. Try Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
The funny thing about Biden and the Maui wildfires “no comment” gaffe is that it’s patently obvious he just hasn’t been instructed what to say yet.
He’s a meatpuppet. Obviously they’ve told him to keep his mouth shut when he doesn’t have direct commands.
Yes. A normal non-senile
politicianhuman being would express some empathy and compassion off the cuff.I expected a folksy story about how him and Beau fought fires one time on the streets of Baghdad to save a gay rights NGO building.
Also that NOBODY among his handlers had the sense to get ahead of it. Anybody with any political sense would have made sure they didn’t have to wait on a question.
What do any of them care? It’s not like there will be any consequences.
this is the real issue
LOL. Nailed it.

Taking a more conspiratorial view, the “no comment” makes more sense if they suspected the reporter might be sniffing around the whole government incompetence/corruption angle.

I feel nauseous.
That just screams leisure suits and key parties. IOW, I kinda like it.
Me too. Kinda neat.
It’s also the colors that get me, you could spraypaint a dead possum Caribbean blue and I’d probably give you a few bucks for it.
Yeah, that kitchen rocks.
A certain Beetlejuice vibe going on there.
Like an episode of Miami Vice.
…meets Golden Girls, or Goodfellas.
I was thinking Rat Pack Vegas… but yeah, Ice Storm works too.
Kind of a tour of the decades. That kitchen screams 50’s modern. It really is amazing. I have no idea where you could possibly find any of that.
I love that kitchen.

Around the corner from where I used to live. I don’t know what the previous owners did, but they somehow made it worse. It was a bright beach house (no where near the beach) inside before. They just made it awful instead.
The kitchen is seizure inducing.
I knew an old lady who chose paint colors like that before getting cataract surgery.
Yes. I think they left the fish scene from previous owners and made the rest of it somehow much worse.
The outside is the same as it ever was.
The good news it it cab mostly be fixed with repainting.
But do I see a two-stall shitter like a public restroom? WTF?
There is a mirror in the bathroom, the second stall is a reflection.
That’s even worse. Who wants to watch themselves shit? The ultimate in narcissism.
I delivered furniture to a house once decades ago that had two toilets in the master bathroom facing each other. I still get a chuckle out of that.
Doesn’t Meagan Trainor and her husband have one of those love toilets? Which I think started as an SNL sketch but is now a real thing.
“Stare deeply into my eyes when you drop a grunter!”
Also a mirror in the bathroom.
LOL I think that is just a very oddly-positioned mirror.
Meh, don’t see what the big deal is.
That’s actually not far at all from being a good mid-mod ranch. The kitchen cabinets present a dilemma, but the rest (carpet, decor, drapes) is easily remedied.
incredible work from Jordan Peterson’s publisher. My review of this mad book was probably the most negative thing I have ever written. The carefully inserted “. . .” on the blurb disguises the original quote reads, “A philosophy of the meaning of life which is bonkers”

Furries got a little mad that guy was recording them on the beach…
https://twitter.com/FightMate/status/1690901049115111424
ehm wat
Just give him a good belly scratch. That should make him happy.
Hilarious. One of them has a megaphone too.
Wearing the furry suit at a beach is a play for attention. So what’s the complaint?
And that dude’s crying is beyond pathetic. I’d want to knock the shit out of him just for that.
No shit. I went from wanting the Furries to FOAD to wanting them to smack him around again.
Funny how the story has changed.

An interesting article at Bari Weiss’ FreePress, about possible replacements for Biden, and why they aren’t gonna happen.
The article says they might happen if something happens to Joe. Which is possible.

Isn’t this the story of Carville’s career? He often seems to be half-right.
Half right, and half full of shit.
And 100% ugly.
“The pretending.”
That is not my default. Until somebody says otherwise, I take them at their word that they are a troo bleever.
If you wrongly believe somebody is a cynic, when they turn out to be a fanatic, well, it’s probably not going to be to your advantage.

Australian girl doesn’t like that there are so many American flags in America:
There are too many American flags. Like they’re on houses, they’re on cars… I think I can draw the American flag from memory. The only time I think I’ve ever seen an Australian flag is on the Harbour Bridge. Could not tell you what it looks like …
It’s enough, let’s pull back on it okay. Let’s stay humble
…There’s the door.
I think I can draw the flag of several countries from memory. The majority of which I’ve never even been to.
Does that include the shitton of tricolors that make modern flags boring?
Shouldn’t it be EvilSheldon pushing Fun With Flags at us?

They were useful in war. Over complicated flags aren’t necessary in that context.
I have a hard time telling tricolors apart. Some sort of color bar dyslexia.
Belgium-Germany
France-Netherlands-Russia
At a glance I’ll guess wrong.
Yeah… I’m with the various replies along the lines of “Funny… we know exactly what the Aussie flag looks like. Maybe you’re just an idiot, miss.”
Meh it’s click/engagement baiting
“Let’s stay humble.”
Sod off you plonker!

Did the “arrest attempt” involve breaking and entering and flashbangs at pre-dawn hours?
New FBI statement on Utah man who threatened President Biden, elected officials and law enforcement: Agents attempted to serve warrant/arrest 75-year-old Craig Robertson “Robertson resisted arrest & as agents attempted to take him into custody, he pointed a .357 revolver at them”
They killed him because they wanted to kill him. Could have pulled him over on the way to the grocery, or just knocked on his door during the day.
You can’t make an example without breaking a few skulls.
“They killed him because they wanted to kill him. Could have pulled him over on the way to the grocery….”
Same with David Koresh.
I had the same thought.
I finally finished Scott Horton’s 12 hour podcast on Waco.
It is unbelievable, infuriating and totally believable.

If only she’d been sodomizing altar boys she would have just been transferred (sorry Catholics).
Well, nobody is gonna get pregnant from that.
Outrage
The raids sparked coast-to-coast outrage among journalists and advocates for freedom of speech, including a letter of protest signed by the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN and the Wall Street Journal, among others.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess this newspaper guy isn’t a MAGA rabble rouser.
All the stories are full of hysterical hocus pocus about the sanctity of the
holy churchFirst Amendment, but awfully shy on factual background. Something about newspaper guy getting asked to leave a political meet and greet, based on previous (perceivedly) slanted coverage.That politician was a Republican, so I’m sure the MSM is hoping for some red meat there.
Telling people to watch tv is a crime.
The indictment cites 12 of Trump’s tweets, and one from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, as “overt” acts made “in furtherance of the conspiracy.”
Some tweets were sent by Trump on January 6, 2021, while other posts encouraged people to watch public hearings about the allegations of voting irregularities.
OANN/Newsmax helped Drumpf spread his election lies. Clearly they should be rounded up and hauled off to jail. You know, to show that the election was perfectly legitimate.
Just more proof that grand juries will buy off on fucking anything.

It never could have happened if those people had had access to high speed rail.
There’s that TransPacific railroad to India again…. (I assume there’d be a depot stop in Hawaii after all).

“So far it’s been disappointing. If the IRA continues to bring sweatshops and a continued race to the bottom it will be a tragedy,” Fain said.

I thought the IRA was more into car bombs than sweatshops.
Always my first thought too. Ahead of retirement accounts as well.
It was the guy named “Fain” providing context.
It would make more sense without his presence.
You know, sin Fain.
Won’t you please give generously?
“The thing about it is though, thoughts and prayers in a moment like this are not enough,” Obama continued. “We have to step up. And we have to help those families, and we have to help Lahaina rebuild. And the good news is that the Hawaii Red Cross and Malama Maui are mobilizing to provide direct support to people who are desperately in need. I’m asking you to do everything you can to generously support the Malama Maui effort.”
In Hawaiian, the word malama means to take care of or to protect.
The Red Cross fundraising effort was still active on Monday afternoon. The estimated cost of the damage of the Maui fires topped $5.6 billion, according to Gov. Josh Green.
“If all of us – the Ohana – pull together and do as much as we can to give back to an island and a town and people who have given us so much, I’m absolutely confident that Lahaina and Maui and those families are going to be able to rebuild. But we’ve got to be a part of that. So please, provide generous support to the Hawaii Red Cross and to Malama Maui right now,” the president said.
Fuck off, you goddam parasite. Where’s your cancelled check?

OK, but where are you going to go?
Worse than John McCain?
After testifying before a Georgia grand jury, a witness in the probe of Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election slammed the former president as the “worst candidate” in GOP history.
While leaving the courthouse in Fulton County, Georgia, on Monday evening, former Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan told reporters that if Republicans want to win in 2024, they need to dump Trump and find a new candidate.
That’s just mean.
Mitt Romney has a sad.
Since both AOC and Anna Paula Luna will both be old enough by January 2025, I say we skip the entire stupid 2024 election, and settle it with bikini oil wrestling.

Way to keep your eye on the ball, Fain. And When there are no jobs at all, you can declare victory.
