What can we say besides "open thread"? I realize that all manner of spiritual and emotional retard are enlivened at the prospect of leaving a flaming bag of moonbat droppings on my doorstep, but I don't even use that door, so there's no point. It's just a decoy. I inhere in here, in the ineffable celestial hammock, which neither tongue nor dung has ever soiled.
Beyond that, I have nothing new to report. As related awhile back, retirement seems to have spread from the extremities to the core, or from the accident to the substance, although in my case I suspect that retirement is the substance.
For it is one thing to be the laziest man in Los Angeles County in potential, another thing to finally, after years of strategic non-doodling, to actualize this potential. Truly, this is to be nonactualized -- or to be actualized into an emphatically radical apophatical sabbatical.
Am I actually doing nothing? Yes, and it takes all day to get it done. I suppose I really am a human invert, a Homo Slackiens, a type O personality, an in-activist, an unfashionable leisure coot, in that my ways are not their ways, nor are my thoughts their thoughts.
Still having plenty of the latter, but they float in from God-knows-where and drift past like clouds in the fog.
This follows Eckhart's fivefold plan to the letter:
Leave place, leave time,
Avoid even image!
Go forth without a way
On the narrow path,
Then you will find the desert track.
Says Bernard McGinn,
A mysticism based upon a "wayless way" to an unknown God of absolute freedom can only bear fruit in a "whylessness" that will probably seem either empty of meaning or potentially dangerous to those who know nothing of it.
Yeah, probably. So don't take it from me. Take it from Nicolás:
God is the guest of silence.
In certain moments of abundance, God overflows into the world like a spring gushing into the peace of midday.
God is not the object of my reason, nor of my sensibility, but of my being.
The soul is fed from what is mysterious in things.
We are saved from daily tedium only by the impalpable, the invisible, and the ineffable.
I only contemplate wisps of truth that twist in the night gusts.
The believer is not the inheritor of estates inscribed in land registries but is the admiral of the sea fronting the coasts of an unexplored continent.

A man is wise if he has no ambition for anything but lives as if he had an ambition for everything.
Indeed. Speaking of having no ambition but pretending much ambition, I think of Elon Musk. He may claim to be the head of a large innovative engineering firm into building rockets to Mars, but I’m beginning to suspect he’s just manipulating others into doing all the work while he gets all the credit.
As a good Christian, should I have God do all the work while I take all the credit?
Speaking of Ben Shapiro, I saw him on the Joe Rogan podcast not too long ago.
You get used to Ben once you get past his quick, slick and unusually weaselly manner of speech. Plus you have to quit fanaticizing about how you’d like to steal his lunch money. With those two things out of the way, you find yourself listening to what he has to say.
While talking about the Uyghurs (pronounced “wee-grrrrs’) he says:It demonstrates the lie of the idea that if you trade with somebody that they’re going to liberalize. Xi is the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao.
What? No quick weaselly slick-talking about Moslems living in a Communist country getting what they deserve? It’s almost enough to make one want to kick out a Chicago School stain glass window. We warned that this would happen. Nothing good comes from sending American manufacturing to Uyghurstan, right in the middle of bumfuck China. Now at the end of the day we’ve got white Christian kids addicted to cheap Wee games growing fat on Panda Express with the CPC laughing all the way to the still-totalitarian bank. Suckas!
Score: China 1, America 0, and Uyghurs who gives a fuck.

My father lived this one. As a parent he was full of other wise quotes like "Never a borrower or lender be." No allowance, no first car, no tuition. Made me the a self-reliant adult I am today.
After grandpa died I found out he'd given dad all kinds of allowances, cars and all tuition. Even down payments on homes. And then dad went on 5 star vacations courtesy of his inheritance from grandpa. I'm waiting for the bumper sticker: "I'm spending my kids inheritance." Made me the cynical skeptic I am today.
I'm happy for you Bob. Truly. I'm 5 months retired and enjoying yardwork and afternoon naps for more than I thought I would. I'm probably not reading more than I used to but I'm reading at a more leisurely pace, which is nice. Keep up the good non-work.
Thank you. Been leisurely reading a lot of historiography, trying to get to the bottom of that mystery, since it was a weak link in The bOOk. Quickly realized it can make no sense in the absence of the Christo-Vertical, so I'm revisiting Balthasar's Theo-Drama, with some Voegelin tossed into the mix.
Philosophy is fun because it describes the possible. History is more of a bummer because it describes the plausible. Maybe this is why I don’t get invited to pot parties anymore. After everybody’s had their say about some exciting new philosophy, I remind them of some history which usually breaks the mood. Does Dupree get stoned?
As they say, history is philosophy teaching by example. But mostly it's just one long emergency.

Hi coons!
I retired just in time. In this morning's in-box, the latest mandatory stupidity in continuing education:
We are excited to announce five new diversity courses, two of which are based on the best selling book, How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, Ph.D. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas -- from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities -- that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society. This book is a New York Times Bestseller and has been named one of the best books of year by: The New York Times Book Review • Time • NPR • The Washington Post • Shelf Awareness • Library Journal • Publishers Weekly • Kirkus Reviews

Bad news / good news.
Funny how the default so often is, "sacrifices must be made, for the good of..." well, not you. Mankind, or the planet, or the smelt, maybe. But definitely not you. Or anyone like you. In fact, for the good of all mankind, almost definitely everybody like you should probably just die already. We'll be glad to make that happen.
I'd think the question should be: how many everyday Aztecs were surprised when the very different Spaniards successfully rallied the tribes they'd once harvested sacrificial victims from, against them.
I dunno about you, but I’d think that living in constant fear of having my tribe raided for sacrificial victims would get old after a while. I’d want some relief from all that anxiety and be ready for just about any powerful looking yahoos to come along and spare me and mine from all that angst.
So I wonder why the Aztec royalty didn’t beat the Spaniards to the punch and send out missionaries of their own to carefully explain to the out-group tribespeoples that taking one for the Mesoamerican team was for the best, that it’d keep the white devils from taking over everything and putting all their asses into gulags?
Excellent rant at Ace of Spades on where we are & how we got here.
The headline of that thread is "Great Thread on How the Election Was Rigged, and How the Nation Was Stolen". I don't see anything in there that has anything to do with a rigged election.
-There is a bunch about the spying on the Trump Campaign. There are some fishy things about the evidence used to start the investigation, however as to whether that rises to spying on his campaign is really not backed up by his complaints (https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/24/fact-check-did-obama-spy-on-trumprsquos-campaign-get-caught/42457379/). However, lets say that his campaign was spied on. This was during the 2016 election that he won and and has nothing to do with the recent election.
-There are other claims of riots if Trump won. Regardless of whether this would have happened, again this has nothing to do with the stealing or rigging of an election.
-"Re: "fake impeachment", we now know that Trump's request for Ukraine to cooperate w/the DOJ regarding Biden's $ activities in Ukraine was in support of an active investigation being pursued by the FBI and Ukraine AG at the time, and so a completely legitimate request"
-Again. Nothing to do with stealing or rigging of an election and false. Although Trump never learned what the role of a president is, even if the FBI and the Ukraine were doing an investigation at the time (I searched and found no evidence that this was the case at that time). It wouldn't be the role of president to blackmail a foreign leader for something that would give him political gain. Absolutely grounds for impeachment.
- Re the "Hunter laptop scandal": yeah he is scum, but that does seem pretty unlikely. However, lets say it was true. That has absolutely nothing to do with the stealing or rigging of an election.
-Re governors using COVID to unconstitutionally alter election procedures: This has gone to the level of the supreme court and this is not what was found. It wasn't only Democratic governors. This happened in Republican states also. There has been absolutely no evidence of mail-in fraud despite numerous recounts and over 70 legal challenges all of which failed.
There may be some validity to some of the complaints, however lets say all are 100% true. There is nothing in that article which indicates election fraud or that Trump legitimately won the election. Nobody has presented any credible evidence of this, yet a majority of Republicans believe that Trump really won the election.
I welcome anyone to provide a single piece of evidence that that Trump really won the election or that there was widespread election fraud. I don't see how anyone can hold these beliefs but not be able to present any evidence at all that this occurred.
Great concert by Van Morrison.
Anybody else finding it a bit creepy when an old guy gets up on stage and Van Morrisons voice comes out? Or is this just another part of the aging process?
anon @7/09/2021 03:23:00 PM,
I agree with the gist of the "Great Thread on How the Election Was Rigged, and How the Nation Was Stolen". Okay, maybe not the gist but more the tone. While there was a fair amount of tribal-happy nonsense echoing old Fox News, new Newsmax, and especially the My Pillow Guy, I like the bit where he says that we are now less of a Republic and more subjects of a Ruling Class. Somewhere in that is truth, methinks. Almost enough to make me think our children is learning.
Interesting article.
Toward the end of the meeting I raised my hand and asked how, given reading and preparation levels, we could possibly increase grades and graduation rates without lowering standards. “What do you teach?” he asked. “English,” I offered. “You don’t teach English,” he corrected me. “You teach White Studies.”
What he should have said was, "Fine. It's White studies. We can call it, 'How to attain white privilege with any skin color'."
Denying the distinction between civilization and barbarism is the essence of the left.
But barbarians taking over our universities is blatant cultural appropriation!
It's also a perversion of the Sermon on the Mount: "The oppressor shall become victim, and the victim his oppressor."
Is this how the meek inherit the earth?
I've been telling people and I've been telling people. Well, white people mostly. Never let the darkie get the upper hand lest they get all uppity. So did anybody listen? Now we've got all these darkies posting all these Karen videos, taking a knee, criticalizing cancel race cultures, with all the trannies clapping along. The meeks was supposed to be us white meeks. Has anybody ever considered that blacks are children of a lesser, more islamic-looking god? And they all mean to do us harm, in really stupid ways no less.
Gagdad commented:
"Excellent rant at Ace of Spades on where we are & how we got here."
I read the rant and it was a disorganized. I could not determine what the salient points were. The piece failed to inform or entertain.
The purported author allegedly denied writing the piece. The publishers allegedly concluded some leftist hack wrote it. The rant may have been propaganda designed to make conservatives appear to have poor writing/composition skills.
So much for the alleged excellence of the rant. Unless you are a communist. Are you a communist?
As for the required continuing education for California Psychologists, here's the deal.
While great great grandpa white Massa was raping and whipping his slaves, he probably did not think much about what the consequences for his descendants might turn out to be.
Never crossed his mind.
Well, if you happen to be one of Massa's white descendants, it should be obvious right about now that great great grandpa Massa f*cked you over big time.
You see, blacks did not, and still do not, take kindly to the treatment meted out to them.
Oh, that's in the past, you say. We've moved on.
Excuse me no, we have not moved on. This has not been resolved.
We are just getting started resolving this. This is going to take while.
Now, if you don't like the distortions occurring in academia, in psychology, wherever you may see it, well here's the thing. Tough shit. Suck it up.
Because your a nice white person, you may not have began slavery, you may have never kept a slave, you may have no evil bone in your body, that does not exempt you.
Because you have to pay for what Massa done. That is how it is. Now you know who to blame.

Blacks, too, are looking for the cause of their dysfunction. Police. White mind rays. Post Slavery Stress Disorder. Everybody’s looking for an explanation.
Why are American blacks the most affluent in the world? Seems fundamentally unjust.
Obsessing over blacks seems dysfunctional. Unless one lives in an all black hood of course. But what the hell.
Speaking of Fox News, I've read most of the various rants which have been advised here. They all seem like fire-n-brimstone sermons delivered all angry Southern Black Baptist style. So much for blacks not being able to influence the modern culture.
Anyhoo, after slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and all the nigger jokes I grew up with in the Midwest, not to mention gangsta rap, black super athletes, and rumors of scary big black dicks, blacks were actually starting to move it on up. And then their entry level jobs went overseas. And so did their prospects for generational wealth. And then the usual learned helplessness, drugs and long prison terms.
So why don't blacks just become more like the Jew, you may ask? Ya know.. forego the corporate workaday world and just start chains of dollar stores and get into banking?
I think it's precisely because they weren't Jews. I mean, would you whities rather buy from persecuted little Jews, or from big angry large dicked blacks? And I haven't even gotten into the genetics which had to survive slavery.
Until Prager broaches that last subject with a pithy cartoon video, case closed.
Why are American blacks the most affluent in the world? Seems fundamentally unjust.
I like the pithy little truthisms. And with this one I tend to agree. But to be sure I tried looking at the facts.
Sadly, the two other countries with a greater population than the USA, China and India, have way fewer blacks. Going further down the list there’s Brazil, but then the definition of “black” gets quibbled over even more than what’s defined as “capitalism” in one of those “Did Capitalism or Marxism kill more people” debates. I'd rather eat goat cheese.
Next up is Nigeria but they cheat because it’s oil wealthy. By the time I got to the Congo I realized that maybe getting rich isn’t as important in other places. Plus America did get a huge head start with all those rich southerner plantations anall.
Why does affluence have to be THE satisfaction metric, when it’s all supposed to be about spirituality? Why can’t American blacks just be happy that at least they got their church?
Still I’m curious. I could use some credible stats about percentage of black affluents per capita per country. And of course, only Prager will do (though I may consider Newsmax).
Beneath it all is envy or gratitude. If whites hadn't created so much wealth for others to covet, this virtue crusade would never have occurred to anybody.
Trump on Jan. 6 insurrection: 'These were great people',
In his interview with Bartiromo, Trump said those at the events of Jan. 6 were loving people who wanted to save the nation.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/11/trump-jan-6-insurrection-these-were-great-people-499165
Yeah... if people don't like the valid results of an election, they should beat up and kill police and threaten Senators, Congressional members, and the Vice President. How much more loving than that can you get? Democracy doesn't matter. What matters is what gullible people with the inability of rational thought think. If they don't like the results, they should be able to overthrow our government and install whoever they want as president. Even if you support Trump, are you willing to threaten democracy over this? What if the next person that wants undo democracy and take power is a leftist and not as inept as Trump? Look at the big picture...
The same leftists who tried desperately to undo the 2016 election are the ones who succeeded in 2020. So at least they learn from their mistakes.
"The same leftists who tried desperately to undo the 2016 election are the ones who succeeded in 2020. So at least they learn from their mistakes."
Would you care to offer any evidence of "are the ones who succeeded in 2020"? This has come up countless times and you have or nobody else has ever offered one single piece of evidence that Trump won the 2020 election and that there was widespread fraud. A URL from a site that also makes claims without evidence is not evidence. How can you make statements about something as serious as a fraudulent election, but not be willing to back it up with anything that is remotely factual?
At one time you say you were left leaning and you examined your beliefs and did a 180. That is quite commendable and admirable. There are few people with enough honesty to examine their core beliefs and do a 180. Are you doing such an examination of your beliefs that the 2020 election was fraudulent and that Trump really won? If you have, would you please share your thought process?
You have to hand it to Trump... He really doesn't hide what he is doing.

Anon @7/11/2021 04:05:00 PM, this is a rare glimpse into cult thinking. I actually have many conservative values, but in this crowd I'm considered a tree-hugging gay-loving gun-banning white-guilt-infested BLM-worshipping Stalinist. I'm curious about how such extreme thinking occurs. Most people after all, have a variety of opinions which cross party lines depending on whatever it is that works for them, personally. Here such people are either called "demonically processed" or "confused", and without the apparent need for even the slightest bit of proof of what they actually believe in, let alone discussion.
I was curious as to how this happens. I'm coming to the conclusion that if they start to waiver in their beliefs, they'll be shunned and lose all their friends, even worse than Little Green Footballs did. I mean, I didn't dare tell my childhood friends that Ted Nugent actually kinda sucked, that he was all volume and bombast. Sparks was actually better. And maybe the Doobie Brothers, which Cousin Dupree was a roadie for (No proof required, I just know so). But that would've gotten me called a fag and I would've had to hang out with the fruity looking kids.
Cousin Dupree was actually a roadie in my band. He also played maracas and went for beer runs.
Dupree, back in day.
So Dupree understands why The Founders had to let slavery slide? I would’ve done the same thing. Those fruity kids were creepy. Maybe non-slave owners were the fruity/creepy kids of their day.
I also know conservatives who’ve been vaccinated. No big deal they say. But anti-vaccine conservatives are a whole different ball game. They seem a very angry bunch. You have to watch what you say around them. And always keep the side with the "Obama Hope And Change!" tattoo facing away from them.
Vax that thang up, crackas!
Meanwhile, coming to a children's library near you...
I had a library membership briefly out here, mainly for the kids. The local branch has really nice looking library. Full of books my kids weren't interested in, and people who shouldn't have been anywhere near the children's section of the library.
Good to see Michelle Obama is keeping busy.
On a completely different note, our parish has a new pastor. We were sad to see the previous one go, he was definitely not a leftist; very orthodox, and knew it could be seen as problematic among the powers that be. Turns out, he was soft compared to the new guy.
First time he introduces himself to the parish, he starts talking about the homeless in our area, and everyone assumes it's going to be something to do with outreach (as if they don't already do as much as anyone can). Nope. He wants to build a wall. Er, fence. They've had too many problems with aggressive homeless guys, even just in the two weeks he's been here, and the sanctuary needs to be respected.
Interesting times. It's good to know and see that there are still good shepherds out there, even in the midst of insanity.
California state & local governments aggravate the problem & then expect the very organizations they despise to ameliorate it.
Maybe I should donate my pre-owned insulin syringes for their drug use.
Could a deal be struck with Bezos to replace all his whining workers with homeless people hopped up on meth? Get em outta the cities I'd think.
Plus the problem with California is the climate. Too hospitable for the homeless. Even with climate change that Mediterranean climate makes em soft. They really should be somebody elses problem, like Chicago and Detroit. Your church should be giving them warm coats and paying bus fare.
Better yet, we could do a border swap. Ten of our homeless for five Mexicans willing to work for Bezos. And the ten would be driven to wherever the hell it is the Mexican drug lords take their people.
Hi Julie
Regarding your comment about your new Pastor, which reads in part "He wants to build a wall. Er, fence. They've had too many problems with aggressive homeless guys, even just in the two weeks he's been here, and the sanctuary needs to be respected."
I took the liberty of sending your comment up to Jesus's Message Desk in Heaven. The clerk said Jesus would look it over and get back to you. The clerk said Jesus takes respect of the sanctuary very seriously.
The Trump reinstatement protocol revolves around a mass popular uprising. The strategy: Numerous and overwhelming Trump forces would overrun the southern states and seize key transportation hubs as well as the Colorado, Rio Grande, and Mississippi river drainages.
The Trump forces would also annex portions of northern Mexico to defend their southern border in depth.
Following this Trump forces would annex individual states pushing up north gradually until reaching the Canadian border in Montana.
Leftist enclaves such as San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC, Baltimore, New York, and Boston would be surrounded and blockades would be placed.
After the unconditional Federal capitulation, which could take as long as two years to effect, the Biden administration would be placed in custody and the Trump administration would resume control of the nation.
That is the plan in a nutshell. The plan utterly depends on millions of conservatives to volunteer as soldiers.
The problem of the US Armed Forces is a concern and has not been fully addressed; if the Navy, Air, Space, Marines, and Army forces side with the Biden administration, and come down on the green Trump conscripts with full fury, the results could be a carnage of biblical proportions for the Trump forces.
Nevertheless the Trump plan was deemed viable and planners feel confident it will work. Kick-off date is rumored to be August 13, 2021, with the formal Trump declaration of war coming on August 16, 2021.
Caesar also ended his republic after persisting rumors of malfeasance (especially after the Gracchi brothers got whacked). When Brutus (that liberal of "et tu?" fame) ended Caesar, the people were ready for Augustus.
My question is this. After our glorious Trump re-installment, who gets to play Brutus, and then Augustus, and then Nero? I'm betting on Pence, Donald Jr. Jr's grandchild not yet born.
For anyone interested in facts: https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/12/politics/fact-check-trump-cpac-election-lies/index.html
It is from CNN and they are biased. However they stated facts and Trump cannot provide one shred of evidence that he won the election and never has. If anyone has any facts that counter this, would love to hear them (and they also do fact checks on Biden (https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/02/politics/fact-check-biden-100-days/index.html).
I truly am interested in how someone can believe that Trump won the election and what evidence they are basing that conclusion on. If someone had evidence of fraud, I would reexamine my view of the world. Is anyone that holds the belief that Trump really won willing to do likewise.
Being willing to abandon democracy and falsely sow discord re a valid election really is un-American and unpatriotic. Is that really where you want to be? I'm not giving up. Please examine your beliefs and base them on fact. This is too important.
The Karenocracy has spoken.
Hello Anonymous 9:26 AM.
Trump won the election, based on the fact that he was the better of the two candidates.
Logically, few would vote for Biden because of the candidates advanced years and tendency to fondle and sniff young girls' hair.
Because Biden received about 60 billion votes, about 10 times the total population of our planet, we can assume there was tampering.
So, therefore, Trump won. It is fairly obvious. I hope you can see that now.
Brutus here. I am ready to betray when the time comes. Rest assured.
God doesn't play dice with the evidence. That's why he prefers poker.
I like Joe Rogan not because he's conservative (as some conservatives say), not because he's progressive (as some progressives say), but because he sucks up to his guests so that other future guests will actually show up. Most of his guests then reveal themselves to be whatever it is they really are, or whatever it is they want people to think they really are if they're dishonest.
Lucky for me, I can spot the difference.
The guy I really want on the Joe Rogan show is the My Pillow Guy. Not only does the My Pillow Guy know all about the stolen election, but he knows a lot about pillows as well. And I really want to know more about pillows.
"The Karenocracy has spoken."
Why do you fear defending your positions and responding to facts?
If you truly believe that Trump won the election, why not back that up with facts and your thought process? If you don't believe that Trump won the election, then what do you believe and based on what factual evidence?
I know there are people here who have stated they believe that Trump won the election. Please articulate the facts behind that belief and your thought process. I don't get why someone who has a strong belief is unwilling or unable to defend that belief based on facts.
An ex president is playing with fire and making false claims which threaten democracy and people here believe in these claims but can't articulate why they believe them? Very strange... Seems pretty simple. Defend your positions or change them... I'm willing my positions based on new facts if there are any. What do you fear?
Okay, FACT: Trump won the election.
That's a good start. Could you back that up with factual evidence or you thought process?
I'm not trolling. I truly do want to understand how you reach that conclusion. I'm open to factual data that I haven't seen before.
Hello Anonymous 02:44 PM
Trump won because we really, really wanted him to be President. For that reason, we say, "Trump won."
Anonymous, here's the sad truth. Facts are over-rated. Do you do or say anything based on facts? No you do not. You do and say things because you want stuff. You do and say what you must to get money, food, love, etc.
Facts just get in the way; they don't have any real meaning. They are inconvenient.
That's how life works. So, you're concern with facts and evidence is well taken but fundamentally misguided.
Wake up and smell the coffee. This is a spin world, so spin like a top at all times.
I hope that settles your question once and for all. Thank you for being patient.
Trump won because we say so.
Also because 81 million people did not vote for a necrotic turnip.
Now, as far as the Karenocracy, if you are married to a Causcasian female of the middle class or above, then you know the Karenocracy is no joke. Am I right guys?
Yes I am right.

Nancy (Karen) Peloso, case in point
Hiliary (Karen) Clonton, case in point.
Do not f*ck with the Karenocracy. You will get railed up your bottom before you can say Lemony Snicket.
Speak truth to power elsewhere, obey your Karen today and live and to obey again.

Wait a minute, I thought Dupree liked Trump. Necrotic turnip? Trump=turnip right?
If you meant Biden use a term like rotten banana or moldy bread. Something with a B.
"Also because 81 million people did not vote for a necrotic turnip."
That's a gut feel vs. evidence. Shouldn't something as dangerous as the loss of faith in our democratic system be based on something more concrete than that? Our system isn't perfect; far from it, but what's the alternative? Although I dislike Trump more than the necrotic turnip who really is way past his expiration date and held my nose at the ballot box, if there really was fraud, I would strongly support actions to address this.
If we rein in the gays, blacks, Mexicans and the more uppity of the woke women, will you guys promise to believe in facts again?
No? Then we'll make you all millionaires if you just send us some gospel seed money. Five grand piece should be about enough.

I’m picturing a house in Miami Beach just up the street from that condo collapse. The gang would live there together and compete with each other over clients for some of those lawsuits.
We’d have all our faves like Rudy, Sidney, Jenna, and that little bald guy nobody knows the name of. Melissa Carone would be there too, always teasing Rudy in her skimpy swimsuit.
Continuous subplots might be Rudy fretting over the poor performance of his GetRudyPaid GoFundMe page, and suggestions of extramarital affairs between a few of the ladies and the My Pillow Guy. The audience would be teased with the possibility of surprise appearances by MAGA superstar himself, President Donald Trump! (But of course it wouldn’t actually happen since it'd cost too much to book him. All we’d ever get would be his voice on a phone message or a brief glimpse of the back of a head which kinda looks like his. But the thrill of hoping might be worth it.)
I think a show like that would be a big hit.
Well, I just read that a growing body of climate scientists are saying that the change won’t be linear, but shall go exponential. And starting now. Instead of Al Gore’s inconvenienced polar bears, we’ll be accelerating towards extinction with a quick pass through a Mad Max hell world dystopia. It'll take the earth millions of years to "heal".
Their evidence seems compelling. Arctic regions are seeing rapidly increasing record temperatures which means the dreaded methane release (27x CO2s power) which will then cause the oceans to release its gigatons of carbon resulting in total global upheaval and death. And all that Trumpist election steal farting won’t be helping.
What I’m needing right about now is for Cousin Dupree to slap me about the head with some of his classic nonsensical sensiness. And then maybe Bob, Julie and all the gang can tell us they told us so because of Original Sin, and to quit listening to the demonically posessed.
Wake me up when Obama and Gore adopt my lifestyle.
Obama and Gore are clowns, enabled by the elites to perform the fools dance of "public service" on behalf of the elites. You've linked to such ideas yourself. I'd say the same about Trump, but might change my mind if he ever pays Americas Mayor for services rendered.
I'm talking about science here, demonic and evil, sometimes tricksy and false, but on occasion, not bad at the predicting.
AGW is the only science that can neither predict nor retrodict accurately. In other words, not even wrong.
Actually, hindcasting models are pretty accurate. But then, they did say that things will get warmer, and they’re getting warmer. Go figure.
Good news, Venezuala has agreed to provide advisors and some limited naval assets (torpedo boats) to Reinstatement forces.
Cuba has offered to send 75 howitzers and 2 million rounds of small arms ammunition to Reinstatement forces based in Florida.
Columbia is preparing to train and then turn over 4 small attack submarines to Reinstatement troops.
So the Trump cause is starting to garner international support.
The holdout is Mexico. They are greatly disturbed by the threat to their country if civil war should break out in the USA. They are right now fortifying Ciudad Juarez and Calexico. Mexico has advised all Cenroamerican polities to please support/back the USA Federal (Bidenite) regime.
I heard that banana republic countries have one condition: that if the climate does heat up and millions of their own do swarm northwards, that America's Really Great Wall will actually be more like "A Really Great Wall" (wink, wink). They know that Trump is very good at "keeping" his promises. That way, we'll have lots more conservative "voters" and a Trump dynasty will be born.
