…and Pete Rose is still not in the Hall of Fame?
Really?
And until or unless , he never will be.
The stink has been impeached.
Great God Almighty,
Convict the stink!
WOTD:
unexpected news … the National Archive responded to criticism by
Apparently, some portions of the Sad!-ministration can still feel shame when people point out errors which undercut their long-standing mission.
I have a good friend on Bill Maher’s staff so I got to attend his opening 2020 show last night and then hit the after-party for more conversation. A few take-aways: 1) Nancy took no prisoners last night. Seems like her entire life has made her for this moment. She described the Senate Maj Leader for who he is: #MoscowMitch 2) no one puts all of this in context like Presidential Historian Jon Meacham. (He’s shorter than I thought he’d be ) 3) ‘Woke’ Joe Walsh is engaging and has a kick-ass wife. He privately shared some interesting insights about a few of his Republican colleagues. He’s polling at 14% in Florida presidential primary 4) Andrew Yang is engaging and would make a credible member of the Cabinet. One smart dude.
But the host has evolved into an insufferable bore who is days away from shouting at the kids to get off his lawn.
Also, he made no compelling case against hating Trump supporters who are motivated by hierarchical thinking; including racism, sexism, xenophobia, and Christian dominionism.
It's almost less hateful for Trump to cynically manipulate them to give the GOP donors the deregulation and tax cuts they want, despite him lacking any core beliefs, as that's simply what GOP politicians do.
I can respect someone's humanity, but holding odious beliefs simply out of misplaced grievance is a choice. Unlike yourself and the Speaker, I am not a Catholic, and don't love everyone.
Maybe your friend could get Bill to flesh out his point, but he rarely does. His viewpoint is exalted wisdom to be received from on high (no pun intended,) and if you disagree, you must be one of those woke twitteratti who are going to get Trump re-elected.
yeah, maybe
But moms here can buy guns and opioids.
Oh shit, we solved it folks!
Only if Rand Paul is the first to go there
math class is tough.
Depending on how you define "human," there is
Human design folks working on nuclear storage are worried about finding a way to communicate "danger" to any successors 1,000 years from now, and are speculating on how to communicate 10,000 years out.
Suggesting "humans" will be around for millions of years is deeply ignorant wish expression.
But didn't Pat Robertson tell us that the Earth is a mere 6,000 years old?
And if Republicans have their way, we'll be lucky to have 60 years left.
You’re exaggerating. I’m sure that no more than 30% of the population in the US will die in famines/wars brought on by climate change by 2080. Considerably less than in more f*cked countries like Saudi Arabia or Nigeria.
Good point. End timer Republicans (mostly boomers) are going to celebrate every disaster as a hopeful sign that their time suffering on this unholy Earth is nearly over.
Nice broadcast about my mom
A clear story … though I must say, I'm a tad confused about a Republican being worried about maintaining a bowling establishment.
And may I say, it is a sad commentary that she has to go all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt to find a Republican she wants to emulate.
She respects Eisenhower too.
As to the bowling alley, it's one of the very few establishments that's over 20 years old in Kailua. Everything that used to be there forever has closed down. Coronet – gone. Holiday Mart – gone. Agnes Bakery (awesome malasadas) – gone.
Oh, you mean THAT Lev Parnas?
After you’ve finished raking the forest, grab your mops and buckets!
In other #climatehoax news…
Are we out of paper towels??????
Wow.
During the viewing of our favorite Ag show this AM, we heard the knucklehead-in-chief apparently chatting with reporters at the “Phase One China Trade Deal Signing Show”. As he explained how the numbers came about, he said the negotiators had agreed to $20B worth of US agricultural products. ” I told them that’s not enough, he went on, ” make it $50B…it should be more.”
He continued, “they told me…we can’t actually produce that much.” I told them, ” buy a bigger tractor. Buy more land.”
I didn’t see that clip on any other platform yet. His statement is breathtaking in its ignorance, but so typical of the Orange Destruction. (who, by the way, has squandered the faith of his farmer base. If we could read the message from the farmers by the conversations on todays’ Farm Report, they are, collectively, underwhelmed and growing very tired of being put off and lied to. The soybean farmers are in danger of losing significant market share to Argentina, where they are harvesting a record crop…keeping prices low.
My message to any small farmers out there: You don’t need to buy a bigger tractor…or more land. The corporation which is going to buy your place in a bankruptcy auction, already has big tractors…and plenty of land. They have the cash from their $2,000,000,000,000 tax cut. Why, they can afford to pay up to 10 cents on the dollar for your farm.
For the uninitiated, it’s called disaster capitalism.
An addendum:
On a separate issue..I see where Blackrock Capital…the worlds’ largest investment company has announced it will no longer invest in fossil fuels and the companies who exploit them..
Seemed worth noting.
Blackrock won't invest in corporations with a "major investment" in fossil fuels – which a curious radio interviewer explained in a bit more detail.
I also got the impression, from listening to an interview on PBS, that it was almost purely a financial consideration.
message to any small farmers out there:
Perfect.
But doesn't he like to say, "Walls Work!"
Bennet die-hards drawn to awkward, unusual New Hampshire campaign
We interrupt the usual political ramblings for an important announcement.
Good things happen for people that patiently wait. Kansas City Chiefs going to the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years.
…and then this. #Merika
Yup, Michael, really sad. But the ammosexuals have another reason to wish “thoughts and prayers.”
Well, the Times got things half right. Amy would be a non-divisive and effective president. Basically the anti-Trump.
I will say this about Warren though. Since her Medicare-For-All position has turned into an albatross, she has learned the art of triangulation between MFA and MFA-someday (but not quite yet). There is hope for her yet.
