This fuckin’ guy

yes. USA has produced good music, film and decent tv, but beyond that we really shouldn’t be allowed to do much of anything

“When it gets down to it — talking trade balances here — once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here — once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel — once the Invisible Hand has taken away all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity — y'know what? There's only four things we do better than anyone else:
music
movies
microcode (software)
high-speed pizza delivery”

Not even movies anymore.

America's a butt

the stanford prison experiment as a country

For a long time, I just assumed Boebert was a derpified misspelling of Brightbart.

I thought it was a misspelling of Boehner.

thanks i had managed to forget about that guy

He's a weed guru now i think

gave up his chardonnay, or just added weed to the mix?

if david roth isnt already writing a trump book then whats going on

he's said he doesn't want to (and hopes the market for thinking about Trump will be entirely exhausted soon after he's out of office)

only five more days, what could go wrong

even if he wasn't the best writer on Trump, the fact that Roth was a Trump gadfly before Trump entered politics should qualify him above any other pundit though

Biden's COVID briefing was forceful, especially with regards to the reps not wearing masks during the attack last week: "Grow up."

cruz and don jr neck and neck baby

Well this is a read.

Never has a DoD transcript made the rounds amongst mil journos -- for all the wrong reasons. For starters, current acting SECDEF "cannot wait to leave this job." https://t.co/YFCfyxjqBv

xps Fully expect Boeboe in the next 2024 poll.

Beetbort redux

Yeah, she's kinda got that grizzly-mom vibe, youbetcha

even if he wasn't the best writer on Trump, the fact that Roth was a Trump gadfly before Trump entered politics should qualify him above any other pundit though

WaPo photographer got a close-up of the My Pillow guy's notes.

Hard to read. Seems to push for using "martial law if necessary."

Meantime

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office has expanded its criminal investigation into the Trump Organization’s finances to include the family’s compound in Westchester County, lawyers and people familiar with the investigation tell @KaraScannell.

Reuters: NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION SAYS IT HAS FILED PETITION IN COURT FOR BANKRUPTCY

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) January 15, 2021

wut

(probably doing it to evade the pending litigation against them, and reintegrating in Texas)

really really good Know Your Enemy ep with him from a few weeks ago.

If this is a file named “Roth wave 1.mp3” with no metadata, then I’ve heard it & yes

Him talking to Jeff Weiss on the LAnd pod a couple months back was also fun

(probably doing it to evade the pending litigation against them, and reintegrating in Texas)

yeah, and NRA insinuated as such that they don't want to be incorporated in NY anymore because of the corruption of the state (lolz)

The USA also produces some of the finest literature, but since no one cares about that, I'll keep quiet.

he means "law-abiding White Americans"

they must've realized the militia wasn't as well formed as they claimed it would be

"we are TRYING to avoid a lawsuit from New York"

Didn't that dickhead demand they build him a McMansion in TX?

You know you're corrupt when Oliver North is the whistleblower

Big surprise: CNN is saying Trump is planning a farewell ceremony (I think they said simultaneous to Biden's inauguration, but I didn't quite catch that) with 21-gun salute, etc.

21 guns should do the trick, I reckon

just resting my head on this new My Pillow, cracking open a cold Coors and chillin’ to Worn Copy

cannot wait for the mypillow guy to be subpoenaed to give testimony under oath at senate impeachment hearings in the morning, then ram through full socialism using reconciliation in the afternoon.

"full socialism" as defined by [insert name of loud right wing ignoramus here]

fuck the nra, goodbye you irredeemable murder apologists

that secretary of defense interview is unbelievable

MyPillow guy 2 be disappointed when he learn martial law requires Congressional approval

so are there going to be like 150 pardons announced on Wednesday morning

Trump 42%
Pence 16%
Trump Jr. 6%
Cruz 6%
Romney 6%
Haley 5%
Rubio 2%
Tim Scott 2%
Noem 2%
Cotton 1%
Hawley 1%
Pompeo 1%
Hogan 0%
Rick Scott 0%

I confess I enjoy the thought of Trump just totally cock-blocking all those other potential candidates until the last possible minute. Betcha none of them dares to even create an exploratory committee lest they incur MAGAnaut wrath.

intrigued by the 6% who prefer don junior to senior

poor hulk hogan

who is Noem? somehow, scanning the other names on the list, i have a feeling they're going to be a major league asshole

oh, the SD Gov anti-masker, cool

2% of people are like "Gov Kristi Noem took a stand against masks - and I believe she should be president of the United States because of it"
