All that terrible tourism money rolling in, horrible.

We’ve been on economically torturing them for decades, and then justify it by saying “They’re terrible, look how they make their people live!”

They’re doing the best they can with the most powerful nation in history standing on their chest. Why would they look at us as anything but a brutal enemy? Since they live right next door, maybe we should play nice, and perhaps persuade them to leave the Soviet sphere of influence and join ours.

It’s okay, there will be plenty of $16 bottles of water for sale.

Dr. Oz says we’re “Under-babied.” I’m sure he meant white folks, though.

Mine is Life In Prison, so don’t fuck with me.

There was one particular radio appearance that he was particular enthusiastic and confrontational, like he could get. That kind of attitude was taking him far, until he applied it to guns. In Texas.

Previous Dems had lost by double digits, but Beto got within a couple of percentage points. It seems onvious that gun statement made the difference.

Beto was doing great, right up until he went on a big Texas radio show and announced intended to take away their guns. You could almost hear the air hissing out of the balloon.

He lost by a tiny margin. I strongly believe that dumb statement cost him the seat. If he had taken Cruz’s seat, and Talarico took Cornyn’s seat, we’d have two Dem senators from Texas.

But Beto couldn’t keep his mouth shut about guns in Texas.

Independent Media on YouTube, Substack, etc. is growing, but you have to curate carefully, and keep your Critical Thinking Skills on high alert at all times. They spew out lot of propaganda, too. Nothing like the Conservative Propaganda Machine, but they’re working on it.

Mothman is a famous Pennsylvania cryptid. Congratulations!

That’s for audio, not video, but it does bring up a point - do these glasses record audio? Because that could be a legal defense in a two party consent state. It would essentially make it illegal in two party states. It also depends on whether audio in public is protected at all, the way video is.

That’s a good idea. An alternative is to put it on your masturbating wrist, and rub one out. That’s got to go a long ways to the daily count. Probably works better for men than women.

I knew someone who put it on their happy dog’s tail, and he wagged his way to 10K steps.

They went from threatening people’s jobs if they didn’t use more AI, to threatening people’s jobs if they use too much AI.

And it’s ALL the workers’ fault, the dummies. Let’s replace them all with AI.

Laws are different everywhere, but often blades over 3" are prohibited. In NYC, there is an old law against “gravity” knives, which open with a flick of the hand, which is possible for most folding knives, if you practice. So NYC cops like to watch for people who have a knife clipped to their pocket, and arrest them for having a gravity knife, when it’s just a normal folder. The president of the stage hand’s union, whose members are required to have a knife on them at work, spend a considerable time each month writing letters to the court, requesting his union members have their cases dismissed since they are required to carry a knife.

Rich people think the Dow is the best indicator of the economy, but 90% of people couldn’t tell you where the Dow is on a daily basis.

GAS PRICES are the prime indicator of the economy for most Americans, and they are posted on EVERY street corner.

When they ask “Have you seen the stock market?” Say, “No, why would I? Have you seen the price of gas?”

Yeah, I hear ya, I really do, but here’s the thing - he’s still on the books as a Democrat, so if everything else lines up, he makes it so the Dems control the Senate, even if he isn’t playing along. If the count is close enough, with two DINOs (Fetterman), it might mean they can’t win some votes, but as the Majority Party, they still control the legislative schedule, and most importantly they control committees, including investigative and oversight committees with subpoena and arrest powers.

Any Dem legislation isn’t going to go anywhere anyway, because Trump will never sign it, so the real job over the next 2 years will be investigating people, getting things on the record, impeaching where possible, etc., and cranking up the outrage for 2028. In a situation like that, DINOs still have a big impact, just by keeping the majority control out of MAGA hands.

He’s got an excuse, his brain exploded. Seriously, that’s why he gets any grace at all. If he was just acting like this on his own, Dems would be screaming 1000x louder. Instead, its just a matter of “bless his heart.” At least he isn’t Dr. Oz.

He won’t survive his next primary.

I think both of those examples are wild generalizations.

Also, Tax Wealth, Not Work.

He can afford it.
