Rumble is the home of the YouTube-banned. Pretty much. Folks like Bongino upload to Rumble. https://rumble.com/vq2htr-ep.-1658-the-ugly-ghislaine-maxwell-trial-details-the-dan-bongino-show.html Right now, it looks like YouTube may possibly have a competitor if they raise enough in the IPO...

I thonk Jon’s thong days are over

At least you still have Toobin...

In Dementia is closer to the sweet spot for successful Democrat politicians. If Kamala can debase herself to get ahead as she did, Abrams can get a lobotomy.

Love to watch a Navy-trained pilot land an aircraft. The word "greased" is not in their vocabulary, but then again, they don't need as much runway as a lot of other folks...

Well, first you start with two Maine Coon Cats...

Holy shit, Batman! It's a one-man insurrection! Hang the bastard! BTW, how many Portland antifa were convicted on those same charges?

@george-k said in Best ever bride/father wedding dance: @brenda said in Best ever bride/father wedding dance: Coaching her dad was probably her toughest class Indeed! If it that had been me, when you went to the dictionary and looked up "awkward," there would have been a picture of me! He looked so totally at ease and at home. Bravo! If you had a coach like my niece, you would have been just as good as her dad. She is amazing and has won awards for coaching high school dance groups. Now she has proven she can even coach middle-aged or older guys. I love how she made him the star. She was wonderful, too, but he took the spotlight many times, and deservedly so. Good daughter to give such a moment to her dad.

lol

Obviously they should build this on top of Mt Everest so as to get a head start. Cool idea, btw... doubt it would ever work and holy crap does that thing need to be precise when it releases the rocket. Also, never any humans...can you imagine the G forces?
