@89th said in GOP Primary Losers Refuse to Accept Election Results: https://dnyuz.com/2022/08/03/kari-lake-cried-foul-at-election-results-then-she-started-winning/ Well, this is awkward. She may end up winning but has already declared the election results cannot be trusted. LOL When the initial votes in Arizona started rolling in Tuesday night and Kari Lake was trailing, she and her fellow MAGA allies resorted to a familiar election-night tactic: They cried foul. But overnight, Lake made up the ground she’d lost to Karrin Taylor Robson, her main rival for Arizona’s GOP nomination for governor. Now, on the cusp of winning the hotly contested primary, Lake and her allies found themselves squirming to explain how the election she was on track to win was still, somehow, as corrupt and fraudulent as they’d already claimed it was. “There is no path to victory for my opponent, and we won this race, period,” Lake proudly declared to a group of supporters, but that didn’t stop her from cautioning them that fraud was occurring. “But there’s a ton of problems with the system,” the candidate warned, before immediately predicting victory again. “We are going to win this when the votes are counted,” the candidate said. “We are not going to take our election systems being this messed up.” Before Lake even spoke, MAGAworld pundits were already at work spreading rumors, without evidence, that election wrongdoing was underway. See Maricopa county remark above.

@George-K said in The Following (TV Show): @89th I first became aware of him when he played Marc Antony in HBO's "Rome." A fantastic, historically-accurate, series that was cancelled because of budget. Interesting. In 2005 I was in Italy and met a local who took us to the set of Rome, which was being filmed on the Cinecitta Studios log. Really cool to see.

@Catseye3 said in In Oz...: @Aqua-Letifer Sooo . . . basically you were a bin chicken chicken? Not screwing around with Australian wildlife is a very good general rule.

@89th said in Happy Birthday 44!: @George-K Was he? Figured he was talking about his mother? I missed the grandmother part. https://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/obama-proclamation-on-national-grandparents-day/ Barack Obama, of all people, is aware of the vital role grandparents have played, do play and will play in the lives of millions of young Americans. His grandparents basically raised him in Hawaii after his return from a childhood in Indonesia. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/obama-grandmother-typical_b_92601 "... .. The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person who, uh, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know there's a reaction that's been been bred into our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way and that's just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it..." - Senator Barack Obama

Interesting read, thanks for sharing. Baltimore currently isn't the best place to live (although I have lots of family there), but there are some good nuggets, such as the graves of Booth, Poe, et al.

@LuFins-Dad said in Shelved: @Jolly said in Shelved: I just wonder when the current obsession with comic book movies Westerns will dissipate? Westerns have. Look at the number made in the 40's and particularly in the 50's.

@George-K said in Nanchang: @Jolly said in Nanchang: Ought to be. It's got a butt-load of our technology. You misspelled "boat-load." You say tuh-mah-toe, I say toe-may-toe.

Watch those sharp corners. That thing does not flex.

Mr. Jones and his business have spent more than $15 million on the Sandy Hook lawsuits, according to filings last week. So he paid $15 million for his lawyers? Looks like they are worth every penny.

I suspect that billion-dollar box office will change what is being made.

@jon-nyc said in Warren is a "No" on codifying Roe: @Improviso said in Warren is a "No" on codifying Roe: @89th said in Warren is a "No" on codifying Roe: To me, that is gross and baffles me how some can be so passionate about legalizing such a procedure. You know... it's funny... their mantra is "My body, My Choice". If that's the case, they made the choice to lay down with their feet straight up in the air and allowed a man penis-owner to enter them. Maybe they should make better choices BEFORE they get knocked up. What are you, a biologist???? Maybe... I know the definition of a "woman".

Federal giveaways of monies they probably should not have had in the first place are where we get into trouble. If the tax break for teacher, etc. housing is evenly applied across the nation there is no real danger.

Uh huh.

@Axtremus said in Burn Pit Bill blocked ...: @Horace said in Burn Pit Bill blocked ...: But this was educational for many, and I'm glad we spent a couple days learning about this particular budget trick. Maybe in the future it'll be more difficult to slip into legislation. What "budget trick"? There has been no "budget trick" in the bill to begin with. The budget trick was explained in several of the linked articles. 400 billion dollars was changed from discretionary to mandatory, opening a 400 billion dollar hole in the discretionary budget to add anything to, not related to military. Is there something about that that you do not understand or do not believe? That is how it has already been explained many times in the material linked to in this thread.
