Ahahahahaha!
Aside from the ManUre bed-shitting, I don’t see much going on in the sports world. Well, maybe the CFB transfer portal going crazy. That’s noteworthy too, I suppose. Anyway, sports news is a bit thin, so I’m moving on.
What a weirdo. I’m surprised he hasn’t claimed that he was secretly elected Speaker and has the ability to nullify the vote.
Well, shit. This was too soon. He will be mourned.
Then would have been better.
Well, shit. This was 50 years too late. Piss on his ashes.
I hope they bankrupt these fuckers. Financially, not morally. That happened a long time ago.
Can these assholes not leave anybody alone for a moment? Just for a little while, please?
I want to hate everybody involved here. The Feds are overstepping. And at the same time, the local government are doing the same. I guess respecting private property rights and staying out of it is just impossible to all of these meddlesome clowns.
“GFY,” lol
Oh, Elon. This might not be your best financial decision. But I certainly respect the honesty. And I also respect the meltdown it’s caused by some people on your platform. That part has been hilarious.
This will definitely solve a problem. What that problem is, I couldn’t begin to tell you. But I’m sure it will solve it.
I know I played them recently, but I don’t care. I will drink a pint of Guinness and pour another one out tonight. And here’s the Christmas one. Anyway, he will be sadly missed. Enjoy them.
And enjoy this lovely, rainy Thursday, dear friends.
I hope they bankrupt these fuckers. Financially, not morally. That happened a long time ago.
As if we needed any more proof as to what dishonest pieces of shit these race hustlers are.
It’s difficult to keep the grift going when the demand for racism outstrips the supply.
Indubitably, however the people that then manufacture the rage will eventually go to far and then get their deserved just deserts…
Lawfare was the left’s way to fuck over political enemies. Looks like the people that used to pooh-pooh that realized what is good for the goose is also good for the gander and finally are giving back some of that sweet prison love.
“And by him taking the position that he took in quite a public manner, we just felt that the association with that position and Elon Musk and X was not necessarily a positive one for us,” Iger said, per Deadline.
Not enough pedo material on X for Disney?
No, after losing gratuitious amounts of money on films no one watched, they don’t have an ad budget.
Can these assholes not leave anybody alone for a moment? Just for a little while, please?
And risk the chance that some people might forget they’re assholes?
Yeah, being an asshole and shitting all over your nest goes with the territory of being a radical leftist (or just playing one on TV).
I hope they bankrupt these fuckers. Financially, not morally. That happened a long time ago.
journalists re the enemies, if you can call these fuckers journalists
Damn it. Shane just got out of the hospital too.
It’s a miracle he lived as long as he did.
Oh, Elon. This might not be your best financial decision. But I certainly respect the honesty. And I also respect the meltdown it’s caused by some people on your platform. That part has been hilarious.
time will tell I suppose but the sides are getting clearer
It even got Keith Olbermann to quit for a moment, but like all the pledges to leave the US if a Republican is elected they can’t follow through.
The Olbermann return yesterday was one of the funniest moments I’d seen on there in a while.
Did he even last an hour?
This will definitely solve a problem. What that problem is, I couldn’t begin to tell you. But I’m sure it will solve it.
the problem is history.
Put everyone associated with the place in the stockade, destroy the campus, salt the earth, and maybe then we can talk about healing.
Wait… when did we start talking about the FBI now?
so how are y’all enjoying the extra long weekend? No work, lighter traffic
Are you thinking of the American Thanksgiving holiday? If so, that was last weekend – on the early side this year. (Always 4th Thursday.)
I was hoping it was some sort of Romanian holiday where they slaughter any Turks foolish enough to come within slaughtering distance.
By that I mean ‘West of the Caspian Sea’
I need a long weekend to recover from last weekend.
I took the whole week off because today is the yearly one-day-I-like-to-never-work-on and it seemed silly to have the gaps around it right after Thanksgiving weekend.
But as I’m no Washington, Lincoln or MLK — I certainly don’t expect the rest of the country to be following suit.
today in orthodox is saint Andrew’s feast which is a public holiday as he is the patron saint of Romana. tomorrow is the national day of Romania and also free.
I’m up for celebrating both those. Cheers!
I see the word ‘feast’. This piques my interest.
Blood for the vampirshi!
Careful, you don’t want to cross Saint Andrew.
👏
“Hey guys, how are you Americans enjoying the day off that’s happening today in my country and not yours? Probably eating too much sugar I bet while just being generally non-European and shitty and using gay formatting in your posts here. Enjoy!”

The GOP would be wise to keep that weirdo around for the numbers, which means of course they will eject him and the seat will flip back to the Dems at the earliest opportunity.
Work a deal. Pick a Dem who has egregiously lied during their campaign, and offer a package deal – Santos plus a Dem who did the same thing. Watch the enthusiasm to boot Santos evaporate.
It all does seem like an awful lot of strum and drang over mostly ceremonial positions, though.
Look, he’s from New York, the Census cheats overcounted New Yorkers by at least a congressional seat or two. Just fix the census valuations and the problem goes away.
“STRUM and drang”
I thought we were talking about Santos, not The Pogues.
::polite applause::
Now I want to listen to German based bluegrass – sturm & twang.
Very nice. Wish I could come up with a follow up joke… but nothing in my head is rising to that level, so just noting my appreciation.
Well, the original autocorrect was strum and drank. I fixed the second one, but the first one got by.
Strum and Drank… Can’t tell if Irish or German guitarists.
I see it as just more anti-gay hate. I’m surprised the right isn’t playing that angle up.
I think Elon probably understands a couple of things.
(1) Chasing ad revenue too hard makes your site a dumpster fire. See almost every news media site on the intertubes.
(2) Virtue signaling has its (financial) limits. At some point, the giant pile of eyeballs that Twitter represents will just be too much for advertisers to ignore any longer. They’ll be back.
For point 2, that only holds true if X keeps up the number of active users. Elon killing large numbers of bots hurt that (for valid and good reasons).
I beed to do some research. I believe I read an article indicating X had surpassed Facebook in daily clicks.
Also Apple can fuck off. I accelerated my exit from their ecosystem. I got a degoogled phone, will write about it soon.
Killing large numbers of bots likely INCREASES the percentage of click-throughs on ads. If you’re an advertiser, that is what you are after – sending an ad to a bot is pointless. So killing bots likely increases X’s ad rates.
Elon illustrating what “Fuck You Money” literally means.
Chasing ad revenue too hard makes your site a dumpster fire. See almost every news media site on the intertubes.
See also, YouTube and Instagram. I’m all for the occasional ad, but the ratio is getting close to 50/50 on Insta between the ads and the “suggestions”. YouTube is basically unwatchable anymore because there are fewer skippable ads and the frequency of ad breaks have increased dramatically.
The best part of the pint-sized MAGA racist Chiefs fan story is when someone spent two minutes and thirty seconds digging through Deadspin writer Carron Phillips’ tweeters and uncovered mountains of blatantly (but fashionably) racist garbage.
Deadspin writer
Funny how that reads as chronic masturbator.
I really hope he gets a heaping helping of cancel culture for this. What’s good for the goose….
Ah yes, the ol’ “hate speech isn’t free speech” justificaiton. Haven’t seen that one in a few days.
Sorry, speech that is controversial and offensive is exactly what is protected by the first amendment. Obvious to anyone with at least half a brain.
I have no problem with people that don’t like hate speech, but the only way I am for allowing censorship of hate speech is if I and only I get to decide what it is. I trust nobody else to do that. Especially not government bureaucracies.
“We’re intolerant of the intolerant, and we hate the haters. Thus proving we are so much better than intolerant, hateful people.”
I wonder if they still show the Skokie film in high schools.
Hell, I wonder if they even have Civics classes anymore, now that I think about it.
Civics classes now teach kids about the oppressors (the successful) and the oppressed (the slackers, losers, and the unlucky) and that the solution is a return to marxist feudalism under the same leadership of oppressors.
Everyone on Twitter & Facederp: “Shane McGowan died!!!!”
I had no idea who TF that was. I know the Pogues. I don’t know them enough to know the individual band members’ names.
Some things you just don’t voluntarily admit, hon.
🙄
No shame. I not only don’t know the band members names, I barely recall the band most days. Just not my speed, sorry.
I don’t feel at all ashamed 🙂
Good for you cause I have no fucking clue about the pugs or whatever either.
Okay, even as a long-term Pogues fan I’d have trouble identifying anyone other than Shane, or telling you what instruments they played. But the frontman is different.
The only Pogues song I have on my playlist wasn’t even sung by that guy 🤷♀️
I never liked them.
There, I said it.
No idea who the Pogues are, unless using the military term.
ALF is back, in Pogue form,
There’s plenty of room in this world for people with no taste. Am I mistaken, aren’t you a Black 47 fan (to some degree)?
Yeah; look how many people like beer. :-p
Wasn’t me.
Say it again
I had no idea who the Pogues were before now.
Then you have a lovely catalog to get caught up on.
I will definitely check them out. I hope it’s more rewarding than when people recommended Flight of the Conchords.
I would start with either Red Roses For Me; If I Should Fall From Grace With God; or Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash. Nearly every song on those three albums is wonderful.
Personal favorites include The Sickbed of Cuchulainn, Boys From County Hell, Turkish Song of the Damned, Fairytale of New York, Sally MacLennane, and Streams of Whiskey.
If you like the Pogues, I would also give a strong recommendation to a New York band called the Prodigals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUAcN9UCnbU
No? Hm. 🤷♀️
Shane is infamous for getting kicked out of the Pogues for drinking too much. Kicked out of an Irish punk band for drinking too much.
He also did a spin off band called the Popes. There’s also audio on one of the live recordings of Shane where the band thanked whoever got pants onto Shane before the show, as he was amazingly intoxicated. He could still sing beautifully, but when he was talking it was a mess of slurred speech and trailing off.
I don’t recall the comedian, but he did the same riff on Slash: what the hell could you do that is so debauched to get kicked out of Guns & Roses?
Wasn’t that just due to Axl and Slash hating each other?
Yes. Steve Adler (drums) got kicked out for partying too hard.
He was also in a band before the Pogues — The Nipple Erectors.
I’m glad I got to see the Pogues back in the day.
I saw him with the Popes twice, and saw the Pogues twice when they re-united. The first show with the Popes, he was about an hour late getting on stage, and then later in the show said, “Politeness costs nothing, ya cunts!”
I know the name “The Pogues” because of Neph and I have clicked through to listen to a few seconds of indecipherable gibberish he called “music,” and that’s where I stopped. I think it was a “Christmas” song. Noped right out.
It’s one of the rare Christmas songs that uses “scumbag” unironically.
Happy Christmas, my arse / I pray God it’s our last.
All right, more Eire-philia for me and maybe KSue.

Daily Ray of Sunshine
A link to Facecunte is a daily ray of sunshine?
SAY IT AIN’T SO!
Have no account and never will on that information stealing site.
I have their domains blocked at the DNS level, so there’s no sunshine from that pihole.
Heh, FB informed me that my post saying “Bury him at sea, so no murdered ghost can haunt him. RIP Shane McGowan” violated community standards and my account may face action. I’ve always wondered what it would take to get put on FB’s Time Out. Now I may know.
This is why AI doesn’t frighten me in all that much. Algorithms are stupid – they do exactly what you tell them to do, even if it isn’t what you wanted or makes no sense.
It’s going to be interesting to see if they can train AI to ignore those violations if the right person says it.
Aw, I Like 👍 your comment.
Has anyone on the left considered not trapping blacks and hispanics in poverty, so that using them as convenient pawns in their morality plays becomes less attractive?
That might reduce their political power, so hell no they’re not going to solve the problem when they can keep exploiting it. LBJ didn’t set things up for them to just let it go, after all!
Yep, keep people on the brink of financial disaster/homelessness and they’ll thank you for the scraps when you bring them.
Credit to LBJ, he figured out how to keep them on the plantation without violence.
The party of government dependence needs constituencies dependent on government.
Stop talking crazy rhywun!

Sadly, I think we deserve even worse.
Damn, your holiness…
That left a mark.
Then good news – you’re probably going to get it!
Now they’ll just smoke at home so congrats assholes. I couldn’t imagine being such a busybody that I’d ever give a damn about something like that…must be a sad life.
Go hang out with some normies, and you’re right, it’s a sad life.
Good. There should never have been elitist exceptions in the first place.
There should have never been government bans in the first place.
/fondly remembers a couple of smoke-easies that existed back in the day
Oh of course. One way to get there might be to apply all the stupid shit to everyone equally and then see what happens.
There’s a reason I dislike selective prosecution.
Those damn snooty monocle wearing hookah aficionados have it coming, amirite?
Yeah, we have the “religious” hookah loophole. It’s such transparent bullshit.
“Salt is not good for you, hence, it is illegal.”
I hate smoking but I hate how smoking is treated by the government more.
First they came for the loopholes and I didn’t care…

Israel Considers How to Remove Threat of Hamas Fighters in Gaza
Best way to remove them is to not allow any of these Hamas people near education. Just like we should ban any and all marxists from education jobs in the US.
Israel Considers How to Remove Threat of Hamas Fighters in Gaza
Kill them all?
Just make Gaza a gun free zone, solves the problem. I’ve seen the signs so it must work
Winner!
Yeah, that’ll work as well as the UN oversight of the West Bank, under which Hezbollah has accumulated tens of thousands of missiles.
Israel has lost the war. With pics and videos of adorable toddlers either just released or still in captivity, lots of hostages still in Hamas hands, and a cease-fire that gets extended and extended as hostages trickle out, the fighting is over. Hamas still runs Gaza, and now knows that hostages are their get-out-of-jail card no matter what atrocities they commit. Agreeing to the cease-fire will cost a lot of Israeli lives in the long run.
Agreeing to the cease-fire will cost a lot of Israeli lives in the long run.
And it amazes me that so many can’t see that.
Oh that’ll work great. Let Saudi Arabia govern it. Oh wait…
I don’t even know what to quote in this story about the new Light Rail Code of Ethics that will seriously be enforced!
Being asked to stop? I’m sure the hooligans will be shaking in their boots!!
Do I even want to know how much was spent on this?
But how else could you come up with such an insightful list?
So alcoholic drinks don’t need to be covered?
That is in the auxiliary rules:
Good to know we live in a society where no sexual assault has to be spelled out.
I’m just stunned it doesn’t include implicit consent to a “On this Light Rail, We Believe….” type list, honestly.
What is the over/under on how long it will take before this is declared racist and scrapped?
Even though our crime syndicate has owned this town lock, stock, and barrel for close to a century and have been in charge of everything, I blame republicans!

Why No One Wants to Pay for the Green Transition
The rich are supposed to pay for it. Isn’t that SOP for public policy pitches?
What the rich are doing, well those connected to government and able to get some sweet tax payer lucre, is making bank while using this shit as a means to deny the serfs more and more of their rights each day with the end goal being a return to a marxist feudal system where the rich stay on top and live like royalty while the rest of us get to rent, eat bugs, and are then forced to admit the rich are our betters because they get A/C, heat, caviar & champaign to go with their Wagyu steak, while we just suffer in our cubes, eating bugs, and huddling together to avoid dying from cold.
Ok, I see some commas, good show. Now maybe a few periods?

He’s getting closer to the punctuation delineation point between unhinged breathless rant versus thoughtful commentary. 😉
I’ll give him this. It’s not a run-on sentence. It’s grammatically correct (with one exception) and readable. He’s no Faulkner. It’s diagrammable.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLV3eMvW73g
Quote from a college English professor:
“Ken Kesey is like Faulkner on acid. Which is actually easier to read than Faulkner.”
It’s like the myth of progress, and how the future will be better – infinitely.
Because people hate throwing away their hard earned resources on graft and corruption with no tangible benefit to themselves? That is what he said, isn’t it?
“… the investments it calls for do not increase productive capacity but must nevertheless be financed.”
I like the word ‘must’ in there. It MUST be financed. It is known. You may not question that.
By the way, how many euroweenie countries have abandoned this watermelon bullshit after running out of money and having to chisel granny’s frozen corpse out of her bed in January?
Because so many idiots have bought into the climate scam saying “Let’s stick with what we know works and seems to be working better all of the time and ignore will-o-the-wisp nonsense” has become taboo.

It would be handy is people would write down what they see, what they experience and what goes on in the world around them. It would be handy because people in the future could read what they wrote. They would see what paths were taken in the past and where those paths lead. They could avoid mistakes that others before them had made. They would be better able to take the right paths, or at least better ones. If only people had thought of this before we today would have such records and could make better decisions.
Sarcasm aside, when I see people today trying to erase history or re-write it I see it as a concession that they know very well that the paths they are attempting to lead us down are the wrong paths. They are erasing the evidence of past crimes to facilitate their own commission of present crimes.
You’re on the wrong side of history there mister. [hates that phrase so much he smacks his own face]
Assuming we don’t suffer a complete technological collapse at some point — I expect the Future’s main problem with this era is going to be filtering the mass of data we’re building up. Yeah, AI yadda yadda, pattern matching yadda yadda… but there’s going to be a lot of daily experience that will simply be lost in the noise (or be the noise masking the signal if they’re delving into Facebook or Twit/X archives or whatnot).
Imagine being the 23rd Century’s equivalent of Ken Burns and trying to make a documentary similar to reading Civil War letters… “June 6, 2015 — Like, omg — u r so hot. My SO is going shopping, come on over!” instead of reflections on the human experience….
We can make fun of people recording everything they do and posting pictures of their meals, but I’d love to see that kind of detail from the past. What was a regular day like for my grandparents? Or someone who worked on they pyramids?
Or someone who worked on they pyramids?
I suppose we’ll find that out after we get warp capabilities and the aliens who built them give us the details.
Um, that is the human experience [okay, part of it] and always has been.
That is a contemporary problem as well. We have such little information about the past that we lose sight of the fact that those people’s lives were as complex as our own today.
Instead what we have is a kind of black and white comic book version of history.
The contemporary problem is that we have so much “selective data” that misinterpretation is the order of the day. People today are not only ignorant of the past, they are ignorant of the present.
Nothing says “respect” like digging up the unperson’s remains so they can be disposed of somewhere that goodpersons won’t have to be exposed to the unholy aura emanating from his white cishet bones.
IT Lady had me watch 83 with her.
It’s fascinating to see other countries overblown patriotic movies. I kinda like cricket now though.
See if you can get her to suggest some over the top Bollywood pictures.
I think there is a treatment for that.
It’s better than baseball, honestly.
I was thinking maybe lobotomy? Then I remembered that that would have the same effect as watching cricket.
There’s an Indian movie (not Bollywood) that I wanted to watch, but it didn’t come with subtitles. Can’t remember what it was now.
RRR is a non-Bollywood one, but it’s subtitled. And awesome.
The whole point of leftist brainwashing is to make people unable to tell what is real and what is not real. When a person becomes so cognitively impaired that they are unable to see the reality that is right in front of their nose they will do anything they are told, no matter how absurd that command is. For the people that this does not work on a different tactic is required: coercion. If you tell an outrageous lie and coerce someone else to repeat it knowing it is a lie then you have created a coward. I dont think the people engineering this leftist evil care which kind of person they create because they are both equally easy to control. The idiot because they are not rational enough to figure out right from wrong and the coward because they dont dare say no.
In a way this becomes a self-solving problem. The ranks of the people charged with dictating the required lies are composed of both idiots and cowards themselves. Both types are incompetents. We have seen this a number of times now: Reporter tells calculated lie about something that is ridiculously easy to see through expecting the idiots to nod in agreement and the coward to simply repeat the lie. The problem is that not everyone is a coward or an idiot. There will always be those willing to call the lie out.
In the last two days I have seen a communist mayor claim that the disasters that blue cities have become are because of ultramegamaga right wing extremist wreckers. And Donnie Twoscoops, of course. In the same time period a leftist shill accused a child, very obviously dressed as a fan of his sports team in a common manner that people have done since forever, of wearing blackface. No doubt there were others in the crowd dressed in the same way. It boggles the mind. This reporter – calculated liar thinking everyone is an idiot or an idiot himself believing his own bullshit?
*Thinking back on Sarah Silverman’s outrage at finding swastikas painted all over LA streets and sidewalks*
Thinking of swastikas, there doesnt seem to be much made of pro-HAMAS protesters displaying swastikas. Have they forgotten that they are closet fascists and not supposed to say it out loud but rather accuse their ideological enemies the fascists? It is all so confusing.
“The whole point of leftist brainwashing is to make people unable to tell what is real and what is not real”
From conversations I had with those subjected to it back when, marxism takes this concept a step further. The people in power would tell lies so bold and stupid everyone KNEW it was bullshit. But everyone would be forced to pretend the lie was accurate or else. If you even let on you knew you were being gaslighted, you would be picked up for some sweet vacation time in a gulag or sent to Lubyanka for a quick session of torture followed by a bullet to the back of the head and a bill for that to your family.
I thought I covered that.
Was backing you up Suthen…
Plato was cognitively impaired. He imagined Ideals of which anything tangible was merely a pale shadow. Jump to Hegel and the insane reduction of history to dialect (and consequently, the right and wrong side thereof). It’s a short skip from there to Marx.
Humans are very, very well equipped with the capacity for self-deception.

They’re trying to equate Jews with Nazis.
It’s ridiculous bullshit but it’s not like they’re declaring themselves to be Nazis.
Yeah, they only want to exterminate the Jews, no actual declaration needed.
Not following this particular kerfuffle, but isn’t Nazism pretty well respected by Hamas (and other murderous Islamonutter cults)?
To be fair, I thought the swastika person might be a plant. Forget the technical term for this tactic.
“The problem is that not everyone is a coward or an idiot. There will always be those willing to call the lie out.”
We call these people conspiracy theorists or purveyors of disinformation.
I just want to put it on record that I absolutely HATE the journalistic habit of saying someone did/said something racist/sexist/homophobic etc without explaining in the article what exactly was said/done. Cuz right now, I’m inclined to believe that Musk said something pretty milquetoast because TMITE.
It was milquetoast and the outrageous outrage was manufactured.
Is was to the effect of “Jews don’t like white people”
Which in context was jews have self loathing. This is easy to prove, just about every Jewish comedian works off of their own self-loathing.
And most Jews faithfully vote for the leftist party that hates them.
So, standard operating procedure in order to unperson the ungoodthinkful.
I think it was agreeing with somebody who said there are a lot of Jews supporting unlimited immigration/the Great Replacement (which is pretty anti-white), or something like that.
Of course, there seem to be a fair number of American Jews who support “From the River to the Sea”, so . . . .
Funny how you can’t find any reporting that shows the actual exchange, just the edited snippet likely taken out of context.
The point to these scumbags is to not tell you what was said/done (cause you would quickly see through the charade) but to tell you what to believe was said/done.
Sorkin needed a diaper change after that interview.
Cuz right now, I’m inclined to believe that Musk said something pretty milquetoast because TMITE.

Nothing says “without breaking her trust” like using a hidden camera.
A few years ago, we gave our daughter, now 18, a stuffed bear for her birthday. At the time, we had recently discovered she had a boyfriend whom she was hiding from us. It was quite a shock. We wanted to be able to keep a closer eye on what she was doing without breaking her trust, so we installed a hidden camera inside the eye of the stuffed bear.

Without her knowing we were breaking her trust.

Strother is an outspoken fan of Newsom who predicts that the California governor “will be president. The only question is when.” He said at this point, it’s all an upside for Newsom as he travels around being one of Biden’s top surrogates and positioning himself for an eventual run.
“It’s like getting in the right place for a rebound on a basketball court. You’re just waiting for the ball to come. You’re getting in the right place,” Strother said. “You know, does that get under the skin of the Biden people? I don’t think so, because Gavin has been so overboard in support of the president.”
Newsom’s enthusiastic support for Biden does seem to know no bounds. Again and again, he demurs when asked about his own White House ambitions, like when he appeared on Chris Cuomo’s News Nation show in September and was pressed on the issue.
“I have deep respect, reverence for Joe Biden as a person — his character, his decency and his capacity to do great things,” Newsom said. “That’s why I am not worthy of that conversation. This guy deserves it and we as members of his party deserve to have his back.”
I feel dirty just from reading that.
While I dont believe any political candidates are saviors that if elected will set the world right I do believe Newsome is the personification of scum-of-the-earth trashbag pol. He does however, have a lot of competition for that title.
To say he’s a sack of shit is an insult to sacks of shit.
I do agree that he is more likely than just about anybody else to be President someday, though.
I think the picture of gavin and your excerpt just made me psychotic. *commences excessive cursing*
Car needs to be put on the trailer today…wish me luck! My anxiety is…high.
Take a few deep breaths. You’ll do fine!
Or a couple of stiff swigs of whiskey before hitting the road. Preferably straight out of the bottle.

I have conflicted thoughts:

Robin Swanson, a political consultant in California, said while Newsom clearly is taking the steps to prepare for an eventual White House run, she doesn’t think the president’s campaign is worried about Newsom eclipsing Biden.
Rather, Swanson thinks the Biden campaign likely sees him as an asset who can speak directly to a certain type of voter.
He speaks fluent retard jive.
The very important used car salesman/cynical televangelist demographic?
Gavin Newsom can get on stage with Desantis and spend the whole time listing all his accomplishments (and those of his party) which have made California the paradise it currently is.
Oh, hey, I got some of my blood test results back…
My white blood cell count is elevated.
No shit. I wonder why.
We wanted to be able to keep a closer eye on what she was doing without breaking her trust, so we installed a hidden camera inside the eye of the stuffed bear.

But: Rolling Stone dances on Henry Kissinger’s grave with brutal ‘good riddance’ headline: ‘Finally, the war criminal is dead’
What’d they say about Madeleine Albright?
The first woman SOS gets a little more leeway with her crimes against humanity.
It’s different when our side does it!!
Oddly enough the same assholes had nothing bad to say about Hillary and Obama’s adventures in Libya and the rest of the ME.
Eh, in this case I still think it is fine to shit all over Kissinger.
Oh, no argument there, Kissinger was scum. Just objecting to the selective outrage.
Ben Fucking Rhodes? The Obama foreign policy guy? Maybe sit this one out, Ben.
Keep this in mind people!
Chinese celebrity chef vows to never cook egg fried rice again after nationalist backlash
https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/30/china/china-celebrity-chef-egg-fried-rice-backlash-intl-hnk/index.html
Wang’s video was solely about making egg fried rice, but for some Chinese nationalists, any mention of the dish around the anniversary of Mao Anying’s death or birthday on October 24 amounts to a deliberate act of insult and mockery.
Da fuq?
Ignoring the stupidity of it all, what does fried rice have to do with Mao the Lesser?
He was defying orders to cook fried rice which produced smoke which gave away his position which got a bomb dropped on his ass in Korea.
*snicker*
That Darwin-award level stupidity deserves to be mocked.
Zito believes Newsom is playing a long game, by continually showing up on Fox News and in red and purple states. That could lead to some swing voters considering him — whenever he’s on the ballot.
“A good politician goes there. In other words, they show up and they show up in places where you least expect them to show up,” she said. “There are going to be people that look at that and say, you know what? I appreciate that.”
Yeah, the swing state middle will flock to the progressive-whisperer from the Kingdom of the Homeless.
These people are so far up their own assholes it’s a marvel to behold.
Blue collar, union labor in Iowa is all-in on homeless people shitting in the streets in front of our favorites businesses.
We bemoan the fact that our cruel winters do so much to suppress homeless encampments in our towns and cities.

Cuyahoga’s first major snow of the year highlights gap in homelessness services
You’d think they’d hobo south for the winter or something.
Funny how Musk is being called an antisemite – by the left – for a quote possibly taken out of context. When vast swathes of the left are being openly and unambiguously genocidal and antisemitic.
Almost like projection. Or a double standard.
They have their own truths you colonizer!
So- a few days ago, I finally got the access panels to my doublewide’s crawlspace finished and screwed on. Yay me. However, the neighborhood cats have been using that as their clubhouse and playspace. As I was screwing the panels on, I said to myself I hope any cats have skedaddled out of there while I was going back and forth.
Last night, I heard a plaintive meow. I said to the floor you’re going to have to wait ’til morning, li’l buddy. A little while ago, I went around back and pulled a panel off. After much discussion, to the point I was starting to fear he was trapped in there somehow, a black face with a white nose appeared. A little more coaxing brought him out, and then he was all over me. I have seen him a few times, but not as much as a couple of others. He looks very healthy and well fed. I think somebody is going to be extremely happy to see him when he gets home.
The End.
My cat got out when we were moving. He didn’t come back for 3 days. When he did, he was skittish and trembling. That was 2 years ago, and to this day he starts easily and can be a bit standoffish. I don’t know what happened those three days he was gone, but I bet he’s seen some shit.
Aw. 😿
the CFB transfer portal going crazy
I’m quickly losing interest in CFB. Most of what made it unique and interesting is being or has already been gutted.
-Bowls are dead due to the playoff.
-Conferences are unrecognizable and rather pointless now that they’re national instead of regional.
-Teams are constantly changing due to the transfer portal, making it pointless to root for the players since half of them will be replaced next year. If you want to wake up in a gutter, drink every time they say “transfer from” during a football game.
-The offense focused rulebook has made the game a race to 45 points most of the time.
-The overtime rules suck ass.
-NIL has concentrated the good talent even more than before, widening the gap between the playoff tier teams and everybody else.
Oh, and the top teams still play 1-2 FCS teams per year, which is stupid. FCS games should be counted as losses for playoff eligibility.
Bowls are dead due to the playoff.
And due to bowl proliferation. 6-6 shouldn’t go to the postseason.
Playoffs plus 10 bowls are plenty. 32 teams get a postseason. Everybody else gets to watch.
Biden DOJ Collects List of Every Person Who Followed, Retweeted or Mentioned Donald Trump on Twitter
***
Court documents released Monday by the Justice Department show that special counsel Jack Smith successfully obtained access to everyone who liked, retweeted or mentioned Donald Trump on Twitter, now known as X.
The search warrant, issued in January by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is part of Smith’s investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Capitol incursion of Jan. 6, 2021.

In case you weren’t already convinced Biden and pals are totalitarian slime…
And in case you weren’t already convinced that judges just automatically rubber stamp warrant requests no matter how bogus.
Great. Now I need a list to keep track of all the lists I’m on.
NSA has an app for that!

I have never been much of a college football fan, so I guess I missed this. I watched a couple of games this year, and they talked about a bunch of transfers. Did they introduce free agency to the NCAA?
Basically. They used to have to sit a season if they transferred. Now they don’t.
