Kyrsten "Carried Interest" Sinema will oppose this.

Not as cool, but... Link to video

@jon-nyc said in Remember this Jan 6th guy?: @Jolly OTOH, we have a dumbass with his feet propped up on Pelosi's desk and a painted idiot wandering the halls of the Capitol wearing a shaman's headress, and the existence of the whole country is at peril, requiring armed troops with chambered live rounds to protect the peaceful streets of Washington. I know you’ve nestled yourself in a comforting information cocoon but do you really think that’s all that went on? I could show you video if so. No, but it's an illustration of exactly what ultimate damage the riot caused and the injustice of some of the sentences. To have a country, you must have impartial justice. Vendettas do not end well.

@Mik said in It's Fixed: Walking away is not going to de-rig it nor convince most that it was truly rigged. If you study history, most governments similar to ours do not last over 300 years. Walking away is one of the first steps to ultimate division and walking away is what is done, when one or more major factions think the game is rigged.

@bachophile said in "Hold my beer.": Tank gun stabilizers have been around since the 70s. The 1970s. That video is from 1986.

@George-K said in Winning: Keeping Russia Russian: We've been seeing rumors of Putin's ill health for almost a year. I won't hold my breath until he holds his - permanently. Same here and the rumours of Putin’s health issues go back to at least spring 2021.

@jon-nyc said in Will it become a success?: I think there could be a market for this. Latin America has all kinds of right wing and populist media, but they come here and get Telemundo, Univision, and CNN en Español. There was a Fox News Latino but they shuttered it 5 years ago. Yes, I think if it's done right, there's a market.

Paywall. Which is ironic

All he needs is some black dress socks under those sandals.

To the Tower in a Tesla!

Great job, Lori.

@George-K said in Hey George: @LuFins-Dad said in Hey George: I am astonished that you find this appealing… Wait, what kind of thing, exactly? Skyline? It’s been 10 hours and the chili and the cheese are still fighting for control of digestive system. Each have had their victories. Why would anybody enjoy this…

I made a big pot of Bolognese yesterday. Cooked 5 hours. Is good.

@Copper said in VP Harris on the Declaration of Independence: @89th said in VP Harris on the Declaration of Independence: Is the issue that she forgot Life? Or that she thought this was from the Declaration and not the Constitution? Or that she is trying to use Obama mannerisms to practice for her 2024 run? Sorry, mannerisms was a sexist term. She also eliminated our creator. Well, Nietzsche pointed that out long ago, although to his credit he thought it was a terrible idea.
