Mmmm…
I was canning pickles on Saturday, people. That’s a hell of a lot better excuse than Brett can’t find the USB port in the dumpster he’s currently occupying.
Catch a nap gentlemen, your time is done.
Ironically for Kany,e this isn’t a lucid moment.
We’ve been socked in for over a week now. The west coast can’t even keep it’s pollution to itself.
I don’t know who his advisors are, but damn Joe.
Screw you, I’m a Doors fan. And this is one of my favs.
Some more good news

Good.
Boring! In other news, 300 hundred Portland Protestors were awarded the Congressional
MedalParticipation Trophy of Freedom for their valiant efforts toward staying out all night and breaking shit without a steady supply of lattes.” Kanye has 21 Grammy Awards from 69 nominations!!!! It’s not like they’ve snubbed him. ”
I’m let you finish taking a piss.
nice.
I took a quick look at the outrage from fellow artists. Gave me a chuckle.
Piss on a Grammy? The Horror.
Piss on a crucifix? HIGH ART.
He should donate it to the Met.
This is crazy.
I noticed driving into work yesterday at 5:30 AM that the sliver of moon had an orange tint.
The sky has an orange tint from my window right now.
We had about 3 days of the orange sunlight but the wind changed today, air is fresh, cool, blue sky. Couldn’t smell anything, looked like high altitude fog/clouds. Much cooler tonight.
There was local story here with pictures from various places in NJ discussing the same thing.
Sun was so dim this morning I thought it was the moon.

“PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Dangerously dirty air spewing from the West Coast wildfires is seeping into homes and businesses, sneaking into cars through air conditioning vents and preventing people already shut away by the coronavirus pandemic from enjoying a walk or trip to the park.”
I’m trying to feel sorry for the people of Portland, but nothing is happening.
What these people need to avoid the smoke is to wear masks. Problem solved.
My father is in Lincoln City, on the coast outside Portland. He and his were at Evac 1; all seems to be well now.
The really sad thing is that he is in the middle of packing up to move to Florida. I’m afraid the fires will hurt real estate there.
Sorry, I’m sure there are many good people there, but you know what I meant.
Oh, I wasn’t posting to take offense. Yes, I know what you mean and I’m so glad he’s resolved to getting away from the left coast. Once my brother leaves, our little exodus is complete.
this isn’t a lucid moment.
It was a liquid moment.
Well, was it silent?
The links of atonement shouldn’t be until Sept. 27/28.
And he should atone for calling today Tuesday.
Look at you being culturally sensitive.
““There was a Marine veteran that had been deployed a total of six times… Dodge Ram started down the street in front of his house. .. [He] saw a woman walking her dog, ran over her, killed her, killed the dog, put her in the back of his pickup truck… molested her … came home … and called the state police and said, ‘I just killed someone,’” Biden said in Tampa on Tuesday.”
such eloquence much lucid
Joe: And that little marine was me.
Handlers: damn it Joe!
“and that little marine was Kamala from Jamaica Plains or Queens or somewhere”
I always wondered what the discerning necrophiliac uses for transporting his corpse brides. Dodge should run far and wide with that endorsement.
And of course, to tell such a story and then say “We can’t let the stigma affect these people” is even tone-deaf bad for Biden. What the hell is wrong with that guy?
Well, after they get done normalizing pedophilia, necrophilia is next.
*Ed Kemper perks up*
Unless they killed their ‘lover’ I’d say pedophilia is orders of magnitude worse than necrophilia. Actually, let me be stronger in this, pedophilia is wrong, whether or not it is taboo, because someone is harmed. Necrophilia is merely taboo, although it may involve a trespass to chattels depending on the source of the corpse.
I’m sure the fact checkers are working overtime to track down the details of this case so the can see if Joe was telling the truth.
Of course, Joe is going to skirt the fact checkers because technically no one can figure out what the fuck he is saying.
My first question:
Is that story even true?
I’m not even sure what the story is.
“There was a Marine veteran that had been deployed a total of six times… Dodge Ram started down the street in front of his house. .. [He] saw a woman walking her dog, ran over her, killed her, killed the dog, put her in the back of his pickup truck… molested her … came home … and called the state police and said, ‘I just killed someone,’
That’s a very high functioning and evil Dodge
Grammar, what is it?
Uffda.
evil Dodge
Maybe Joe heard that Marines are called Devil Dogs and got confused and it came out evil Dodge? And he knows that is bad because he and Obama saved Dodge from going bankrupt
Another evil dodge
Well, mopar, anyway.
“Catch a nap gentlemen, your time is done.”
Um… that’s quite obviously something else, as in not spooky.
Looks like a small mammal.
Yeah, a small animal running along a stone fence, followed by a water smudge on the windshield.
That was no smudge! THERE IS A PREDATOR AMONG US!!!! Everyone should immediately stop what they’re doing and cover themselves with mud!
They just found out they’ve been emancipated.
I guess the NY Post needs to periodically remind us that they are not serious by reporting on windshield smudges.
A smudge on the lens! I know when someone is threatening me!
I’m glad someone went there.
I for one welcome our new birdshit on a windshield overlords.

Unpossible. Gettysburg has shit has it pants and everyone of importance (like my college attending son) has been sent home to infect the family.
My College Did Almost Everything Right, and It Was Still a COVID-19 Fiasco
What exactly did they do right?
“Almost everything”
Lots of testing, masks, distancing requirements, lockdowns after clusters emerged. And finally they pulled the plug.
Realistically it was sorority that broke the rules and another cluster in the Gettysburg Hotel. As far as we know nobody was even hospitalized.
That sucks. My kid is at Scranton, they just imposed a 2-week lockdown (one step away from the above) because of about 80 or so positive cases (nobody hospitalized AFAIK). Crossing my fingers on that; FWIW Gettysburg was his second or third choice, we liked it as well.
Scranton? My God, you have my condolences. /escaped native

And folks managed to eat each day

Realistically breaking rules had nothing to do with it because none of the protocols have any effectiveness whatsoever.
Oh, that too.
I meant it realistically it was two clusters that caused the pants shitting. Which if they had followed “the rules” and still had an identical outcome they may have not panicked. It was the lack or rule following that shut it down for sure.
Lots of testing, masks, distancing requirements, lockdowns after clusters emerged. And finally they pulled the plug.
That sounds more like “My College Did Almost Everything Wrong” to me.
The most telling thing to me is every “expert” referred to has never worked in a hospital. Back in March it was all about easing the burden on the health care heroes. And at first the hospital workers had horror stories about being overwhelmed. And a few weeks later those same workers said it was manageable and then a few weeks later they said it’s not a big problem anymore and that was the last time the panic mongers ever talked to a hospital worker.
New projection is our normal OR case volume is going to be down by 15 percent for the rest of the year. Presumably because some people are still scare, some have no insurance and some have no PTO left.
This is what drives me bonkers. It’s a dire emergency, except when it’s not. Freshmen are less at risk than upperclassmen, except tour guides, intramural staff, and resident assistants who apparently are not at risk. Or maybe they are heroes, I’m not sure. A few of my fraternity brothers were noted for “enhancing first-year students’ experience”, and we sure thought they were heroes. Of course, if you question this bullshit, the reply is “BUT SCIENCE!!! “
Yep. It’s all ridiculous theater.
Eventually the RA’s are gonna get the plague and sue the fuck out of the school and win. I would just give up on this year – it’s not happening.
A few of my fraternity brothers were noted for “enhancing first-year students’ experience”,
*waggles eyebrows*
My kid’s high school is the exact same way. They go through all this effort to break the kids up into cohorts that can then attend classes so that they stay in a single room all day and do not mix with one another. Sounds great right? Any outbreak is limited to that single cohort, and the other cohorts can continue schooling.
Except for the combined sports where cohorts mix.
And of course except for the fact that these kids have more than 10 friends and they mix with the other cohorts outside of school.
And yet some “expert” was probably paid a 5 or 6 digit sum in order to come up with this complete farce of a plan.
I had been thinking about taking some college classes to get out of the house and meet people (read: college-age girls) but, nope, not this freakin’ year.
Let me guess no refunds for room and board.
also for school.
Actually refunds for room and board, but miraculously this was decided one day AFTER the time for refunds for the class tuition.
Purely a coincidence I’m sure.
My son’s school made a big show of covid precautions. When everyone still got it, then recovered, they pointedly ignored it and didn’t cancel school.
Stop hurting the planet, the west coast. ?
Can we fine them?
Sure. They will pay in carbon credits.

That’s an interesting way to phrase “have been relentlessly pushed by the media”.
Imma say it was lucid. He’s realized the Grammys haven’t been worth a shit for the past ten years at least so a piss will have to do or maybe it’s a statement about being rewarded for for earthly deeds. Whatever it was, I don’t think it’s because he thinks he was snubbed like the article implies.
I think we’re attributing too much intelligence and purpose to him.
Kanye’s pretty smart but he’s also nuts.
most genius’s are. And yes I think Kanye qualifies. Probably the most influential musician of his generation and of the last decade.
Can confirm.
I didn’t read the article. The stunt reads to me as “fuck all y’all, look how many grammys I got”.
I think next he’s gonna market that one Grammy on ebay and make a (nother) mint off of it just since he peed on it.
Maybe an homage to R. Kelly?
“Twitter suspends account of Chinese virologist who claims COVID-19 was developed in a Wuhan lab – as she releases report with ‘evidence’ that she says backs up her theory
It is not clear if there was one specific tweet from Yan that violated Twitter’s policy.
In an interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night, Yan claimed she was suspended because ‘they don’t want the people to know this truth’.
Yan, who is a former researcher at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, said COVID-19 was ‘man-made’ and ‘not from nature’.
‘I have evidence to show why they can do it, what they have done, how (they did it),’ she told Fox News.
‘The scientific world also keeps silent… works together with the Chinese Communist Party, they don’t want people to know his truth. That’s why I get suspended, I get suppressed, I am the target that Chinese Communist Party wants disappeared.’
After the segment aired, the Fox News show also accused Facebook of censorship after saying they had been blocked from sharing the interview segment on the social media platform.
A video of the interview segment posted on the Tucker Carlson Tonight show’s page now comes with a warning that reads: ‘False Information. This post repeats information about COVID-19 that independent fact-checkers say is false.'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8740093/Twitter-suspends-Chinese-virologist-claims-COVID-19-lab-made.html

At what point does their censorship qualify as election-meddling?

Arradondo said around 100 officers have left the department or have taken leave since the beginning of 2020. That’s more than double the usual number of officers who either step down from the department or who are inactive each year.
Oh, not what they meant by defund the police?
The article I posted on this in the morning links said that most of the officers were retiring because they had PTSD because of all the rioting.

Uffda. HOA decides to sell member’s house because he put up a flag pole
I never got why anyone would live where a HOA ruled.
People like HOAs because they want rules imposed on other people.
Sounds like an asshole move on the HOA’s part but he knew the rules when he purchased. I dislike all parties involved.
Isn’t there some sort of compromise between taking it down and taking his house? So glad our HOA is so laid back.
The guy is a Veteran and does know where these people live. They ought show a little caution before taking his home.
Non-negotiable. No HOA or the real estate gorilla is out on her ass.
Same for me. It was an absolute no when I was house hunting. Another absolute was it must have gas cooking. I turned and walked out of several houses before the realtor got the message. And I sent a list of must have, nice to have and absolutely must not have ahead of time.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to find a place around here without an HOA. So far it’s just been the Karen next door (literally named Karen) “anonymously” turning me in for having the audacity to put in landscaping without begging for approval in advance.
I was like 90% sure it was her marching me out, then she finally rang my doorbell and without any preamble asked if I could trim back the bushes that were planted to cover up the utility boxes.
I more or less politely said I was letting them grow tall so they could do the sole thing they were planted for.
Narcing, not “marching”. FN auto”correct”.
What’s the cyclic rate of fire on that?
Nope. Never.
Absolutely will not live in a place with an HOA. We made this crystal clear to our last agent, and she assiduously refrained from suggesting properties that didn’t meet our specs.
The only thing like this I’d even consider would be an airpark where there is an extremely limited association solely to maintain the runway/taxiways and make sure people didn’t put up trees or similar in safety-sensitive areas.
Two houses ago, we lived in a neighborhood controlled by covenants. Stuff like “no cattle”, “dont dump wastewater into your neighbor’s yard”, etc.
Nobody to enforce it, so it would have to be enough of an issue to take to court, but there was a way to deal with the most egregious offenders, not that we had any that rose to that level.
Why that model isn’t deemed sufficient, I don’t know*.

I think it’s drugs falling…
Last night I overheard my wife talking with a friend of hers on speakerphone. This particular friend and her husband have been chugging down the Covid Flavor-Aid since this whole thing started and have been locked down hard for months.
Anyways, I heard the friend going on about how some of her friends and neighbors are just going about their business and going places and not really doing any social distancing at all and not following proper mask guidelines, and and the weird thing is that none of them have caught Covid yet, and she just can’t figure out why. She doesn’t know if they’re just lucky, or if the people they’re hanging out aren’t socializing outside of a little circle, or what’s going on, but it’s just completely crazy that none of them have gotten sick yet.
With exception to wearing a mask at stores where required, I’ve been going about my business normally this entire time. I assumed most people were doing the same. I went to a wedding a few weeks back. Talking with friends I learned several distant “friends” have been on complete lock down this entire time.. These are people in their early to mid 30s who are curled up in fear. We are doomed.
Can confirm. Getting married in three weeks. Only people to throw a bitch fit have been 26-32 year olds. One pair won’t even sit with their parents because their parents aren’t social distancing. All the folks that are actually at risk are like, fuck yea, lets party… I intend to oblige the latter.
Can you provide a special room the worriers can social distance in, featuring closed-circuit footage of the wedding/reception? At some point, cut the feed and go to footage of people staggering around and dying for no apparent reason.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that out of only two countries in the world with a sane reaction to COVID, Sweden and Belarus, one is a dictatorship. Panicked humans lose reasoning abilities and democracies reflect that.
The more democratic a government the less possible it is for it to be fully sane, because it can’t be fully anything. The upside is the same effect tends to limit its ability to be fully evil. The downside is that once it tips past a certain point of partly evil, the evil just make sure it stops being democratic so they can go the rest of the way.
incredible. This has been eye opening for me. Luckily none of my closest friends have been sheeple who bought into any of this.
I just heard about some acquaintances who were doing the same – not been out of their house for MONTHS. Getting their groceries delivered. Letting their packages sit in the garage for three days before wiping them down.
And since i know they’re also lefties, it makes sense that they get all their news from the lunatics at CNN, etc, who fearmongered them into tis insanity that it’s THE PLAGUE!! WE’RE GONNA DIE!!! Including their two teenage boys, by the way.
Meanwhile I’ve been to the grocery store at least once a week since this all started, MrOneTrueAthena has gone into his office, etc.
Like, it’s no wonder they have no grip on how many people have actually died/been sick. Because they believe corpses are still piling up in the streets and a positive test is a death sentence.
If this was anywhere near the danger they claimed, that would never have been allowed.
Heaven grant me a day I don’t have to go somewhere. PLEASE GRANT ME A DAY!!! *falls down pleading with the universe*
I was in Lowes yesterday, maskless of course, buying some Febreze for my wife. As I was ringing it up at self pay, the lady next to me with her masked up little kid stared in horror, presumably because I was the disease vector of death, the only person in the place not wearing a mask, and told her kid, “We need to go!” and not quite ran out of there.
I decided no more mask for me. Wore one for three months just because I didn’t want to argue, now I just don’t give a fuck.
I’m not quite there yet, but I mask up exactly when I’m required to and unmask exactly when I’m not required to, often in the vestibule.
I was not super happy about having to be masked up at the habitat build last weekend, but after seeing the sawdust the mask collected, I’m okay with that one. mild discomfort to keep that shit out of my lungs.
be the change you want to see in the world lol.
I keep a really dirty mask stuffed in my pocket in case some store employee insists I wear one, and I’m buying something I want enough to not turn and leave. Usually feigning deafness and walking away rapidly makes them go away without having to leave the store.
My wife was looking at this crumpled, dirty, obviously not in the least bit effective mask, and asked if I wanted a new one.
I said that would defeat the purpose of mocking the silliness of the mask EOs, since no one has ever demanded that I put on a new one in order to shop.
I’m tempted to cut a bunch of holes in mine and see what happens.
Insert one of those roll-out party favors.
. . . none of them have caught Covid yet, and she just can’t figure out why.
She never learned statistical theory at any point in her life, did she?

OK Mad Scientist – do you think this will fit in your car?
The 11.6-Liter, Big-Block Diesel Rotary Was Just Too Good for This World
I think that’s delightful, but I can’t understand why you’d make a rotary for a marine environment, where you want lots of torque at low RPMs, which rotaries suck at. Still. A diesel rotary. A MASSIVE diesel rotary. COOL!
Mazda is trying to make the rotary part of a lean burn hybrid electric powertrain which I also don’t understand.
There have been some attempts to make into an aviation engine which I do get given its power to weight versus the efficiency tradeoff.
I met a guy who was putting one in his homebuild. Lost track of him, so I have no idea if he was successful or a cautionary tale.
There are plenty of them out there in planes already. Subaru boxer engines as well.
No Subaru engine for me! Too many stories of issues. I’d just bite the bullet and use a Rotax.
Fortunately my good friend, pilot and huge GA enthusiast has removed any desire for me to own an aircraft or get a pilot’s license. Too much of a PITA…
The Subaru conversions usually have problems not with the engines themselves, but with the speed reduction units. The engines produce best power around 5000 rpm, but you don’t want to turn a prop at that speed.
I can see it in a plane because you can gear it down and it’ll happily run at high rpms forever. But I don’t see how it’s good for lean burn generator. The nature of the thing is combustion is still happening when the exhaust gasses reach the header, so you never get a complete burn. And it doesn’t like to be run too hot, which a lean burn will exacerbate. On the other hand, it’s very light relative to a piston engine. It seems like the ideal condition would be a single rotor in something like a weed whacker.
HHNNNNNNNGGG! *fap fap fap*
On that article about Biden argle-bargling his way through a lie/story about a Marine with PTSD:
This will keep happening and only get worse. The guy has dementia or some other mental disability. I mean, FFS, maybe, just maybe, it’s related to the stroke and/or the second aneurysm they took out of his bleeping brain. Anyway, this will continue to happen as Biden is pushed out onto the stage and tries to read his lines, but can’t help trying to be Ol’ Joe(!) from Scranton and show how he knows what’s going on around him and can “relate.” Then he’ll start confabulating and blabbering barely coherent sentences and the Media will later be put in the position of translating this into English and telling everyone how sharp Biden is… And how racist anyone is for pointing out that Biden isn’t all there anymore.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
It really is one of the most cruel, depraved – and, simultaneously – funny things I have ever seen in politics.
I would be truly disgusted by this spectacle, if I thought that politicians were human…
There are already so many other videos just like this, where he gets confused, tells onion belt stories, forgets what office he’s running for, and so on. It’s really quite amazing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. And the media’s only response, when they deign to address it, is to call them “gaffes” and criticize Republicans for making it an issue.
A quick duck duck go search can’t bring up anything resembling that case.
Frankly though, it’s another fallback issue – “you had the chance to “fix” things for 8 years and yet on your watch vets were setting fire to themselves in VA parking lots – care to respond?”
I’m starting to think it might possibly be on purpose, to gain sympathy, or let everyone know it will be Harris who takes office. Out of all Latin music, he picks the one song that goes “Slowly, I want to breathe your neck slowly” accidentally?

Poor Joe needs a question list.
It’s honestly the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen I don’t think anyone even the people who are voting for him think he’s capable of being president.
I real journalist would ask for the poor man’s name.
Someone’s desperate, but not who you think.
Carville said, “I would get Michael Bloomberg to put up $500 million and run the actual town hall on television so everybody could see it. I mean, his inability to react or empathize with people is something staggering, and everybody’s trying to wonder why did he do this. He’s desperate because he knows he’s going to lose, and when he loses quite frankly, in my opinion, he’s going to jail, and he knows that. So why would he expose himself to a format that is completely ill-suited to him?
Sounds like some progjection on the format criticism. We’ll see how Sleepy Joe does.
And why, pray tell, would Trump be going to jail?
Bank and insurance fraud if you want to believe the craziex.
OFFS that fishing expedition?
Conviction first, then trial, then they’ll figure out what the crime was.
That’s barely more coherent than anything coming out of Biden’s piehole.
“his inability to react or empathize with people is something staggering”
I don’t understand the whole thing about Trump lacking empathy. Am I supposed to care about that? Do people really believe a politician when he says he feels your pain? I guess they do, but jeez, people, wake up.
CDC head says masks may be better than coronavirus vaccine, implores people to wear them
I assume most of us are aware the CDC is a fraud. Maybe more will realize that as they continue to say stupid shit. Ah who am I kidding to some people government is the ultimate expert in everything
On one hand good this means no more lockdowns and anyone who says otherwise is a science denier. On the other had wtf is this fucktard talking about. What a fucking flim flam man. Also logically it could technically make sense as there isn’t a vaccine yet.
Logically it makes NO sense. BECAUSE there is no vaccine to compare it to. It like saying oxen are better farm animals than unicorns. Technically valid but logically senseless.
To take it to the next step logically one would have to conclude that developing a vaccine is a complete waste of time and money if a mask is more effective. So he’s basically saying he wants the government to waste everybody’s time and money.
If it ducks like a quack….

You pickled your pickles whole?
Cucumber skin prevents the flavor of the pickling juice from fully permiating the interior. At least cut them into spears so you get better flavor infusion.
Since when do you want your food to contain any flavors?
Since always. I don’t understand where this bland slander came from.
OK, so why is putting pickles in glass jars known as canning?
the term ‘can’ predates the use of metal cans. As does the process. It’s an artifact of older forms of English.
The verb followed suit from the noun, as English has always had a fondness for verbing.
Given that I don’t touch them for two weeks after processing, and they will be stored up to two years, I’m not all that concerned about flavor penetration.

https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/chinese-virologist-who-defected-to-u-s-says-she-can-prove-covid-19-is/
I vaguely recall some Australian researchers saying similar things back at the beginning of this.
I was listening to a podcast with a virologist at Iowa who described it as ‘uniquely suited for humans’. In context it sounded like ‘someone made this fucker. It didn’t spread from bat soup’.
Notice how the mainstream media has downplayed Chinese responsibility for this whole mess?
Yup, they have been supremely unconcerned about the origins of it. Zero investigative reporting from the legacy media on this.
Which is unsurprising as the last thing that corporate media wants is a questioning to that degree of China. They have way too much to lose, along with their friends in other massive multinationals.
her claims are being heavily censored on social media right now. are they pseudo scientific?
No.
I have no idea.
a virologist i read said there was no “smoking gun” in the data but also some interesting arguments from the data. in other words, it should probably not be censored.
No, she is a very real microbiologist and the paper she published is no-bullshit microscopic analysis of the virus, the various points where it has been manipulated, to include non-essential elements of it being doctored to make it appear as if it were natural. The paper will be almost unintelligible to a layperson because of how detailed it is, but if you read it, there won’t b a doubt in your mind that she’s a 100% legit scientist and she knows exactly what she’s talking about.
Zero Hedge embedded the paper at the bottom of this article. You can read the whole thing there. It’s real science, as distinct from most of the bullshit being blared by the MSM and other CCP toadies in the scientific community.
Yo, Kanye piss on his Grammy, just like R Kelly on yo mammy.
Seriously though those Biden hits just keep coming. The media is really doing a bang up job of covering for his non campaign. Two weeks till the first debate. I’m thinking in a week we get a full court press or media outrage over Trump Lies!!!! There will be some specific thing that sets it off, but they will all say, “this is the last straw. Trump lies so much there literally cannot be a debate.” And then Team Biden will cancel it. I’ll be very surprised if it happens. Let’s see.
At this point….Trump should just sit down with Joe Rogan on the record – the ratings would be insane (and very entertaining). I bet Rogan could get him to commit to descheduling something too.
Absolutely. That would be infinitely more informing than what passes as debates these days. I think it would in all likelihood only help Trump, especially if he used it to say he was going to have the FDA reschedule cannabis. Rogan is a damn good interviewer. There is a reason the guy has the most popular podcast in the country.
i’ve never watched rogan in my life but i would definitely read the highlights of that.
His interviews are often hours long, so I have only done a few in their entirety, but have checked out many ten to thirty minute clips. I imagine a Trump would perform great in such an environment. As long as he doesn’t take a hit of the blunt that he’s passed.
Its like hanging out in ypur stoner friend’s basement. You could end up talking politics (stupidly) watching a George Foreman fight on Youtube or movie previews.
DId you listen to the interview with Snowden yesterday? Fucking Rogan described police unions as necessary to ‘provide health insurance’ which he then described as a ‘basic human right’.
Yes, he’s a good interviewer but I think he’s been concussed a few too many times.
No didn’t check that out. He is all over the place with his politics and often contradictory and not sophisticated with them (I’m being kind, yes, he’s taken more than a few head blows). But, despite that, he relates well to a wide variety of people and gets them comfortable enough that they talk pretty freely. It’s an under appreciated skill that.
Perhaps I don’t listen to him enough. Rather stoner-y voice, but calm and lets people talk; e.g., to Tommy Chong and his Trump theories: “Mmm. Why do you say that?”
Rogan is not all that bright, but he’s a terrific interviewer and he’s genuinely intellectually curious. That’s a rare combination.
I’ve only listened to the ones with Alex Jones and Miley Cyrus, and decided Miley needs to go on InfoWars.
Haven’t they spoken before? I would think it would be titled ¡Snowden #2!! or something.
Yeah, nothing against Rogan , but even sped up, 3 hours with most anyone is too long.
he was also a bernie sanders supporter.
his politics are skin deep and a total horror show. But he’s basically an everyman guy whose not politically correct at all, which is refreshing.
I don’t listen to Rogan because I agree with him on everything. I listen to him because he does a good job of getting his guests to talk and then letting them talk.
I sort of agree. I could easily see this if Biden were a lock to win, but I don’t think he is and I think they know it. As just one example, Trump and Biden are currently in a dead-heat among Latino/Hispanic voters in Florida. For comparison purposes, consider that Hillary beat Trump by 13% among Latinos in FL – 46/33, IIRC – and she still lost the state by 1%. Biden is going to get blown out in Florida if those numbers are true and hold. And you can do the same thing with what Trump is currently polling among blacks. Those two things combined would doom Biden.
So, I think there is a second play, which is that they drug Biden up on speed/uppers and whatever else they can come up w/ and then the mods try to carry him across the line. I think he’ll get the questions ahead of time and have every answer rehearsed. And I think it will be clear at some point to anyone, but the DNC operatives with bylines will fire up the Gaslighters to 1000% to tell us all how Biden showed he was perfectly capable of handling Trump.
then why do polls keep saying biden is winning florida by 5 or more points? i’m confused.
Because the media is lying its ass off? Just like last time.
really though?
does it benefit their party to believe falsely they are winning?
Yes. A lot of people want to vote for the winner. So if they read polls that say Joe is winning they will go for him.
Sad commentary on our herd mentality, but it is what it is.
Yes. It’s the discouragement phenomenon.
“Don’t bother voting because your guy can’t win. It won’t even be close.”
With the corollary false conclusion, “Don’t bother voting, Hillary / Biden has it locked up.”
Because Hillary really only had an 88% percent chance of being
PresidentPuppet Empress, instead of 93%.Listen to the 5th Column ep from Sunday – they cover Florida as well as the Wisconsin numbers which are mirroring 2016 (or actually looking even worse than 2016 for Biden at this stage).
The polls are not accurate. I’m guessing people are lying or hanging up without answering. Based on these polls, in 2016 almost all of the number crunching sites predicted Hillary had a 90%+ chance of winning. They’re ALL still predicting Biden is favorite to win this year, by around a 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 margin.
GIGO.
What in hell are you talking about? It is three days before the election and polls show Hillary with a 97% chance of winning.
Game over, man!
Totally agree that Biden will get the questions ahead of time.
But what happens when Trump starts peppering him with his own questions? That is when the ref should step in and stop the fight.
If all the clips they’ve shown of him the last few weeks were 100% rehearsed – he’s in really bad shape.
They are and he is. Hell, he had a teleprompter for that softball interview over zoom and he made the mistake of holding something up and you could see the reflection of the teleprompter. He was being fed his lines on an absolute layup interview.
The dude is non compos mentis and I’m not trying to be funny or hyperbolic. I mean that in the legal sense of the word: as in, if he changed his will right now and someone challenged it after his death, the person defending the changed will would be hard-put to claim he met the legal requirements for capacity.
It’s sad; pathetic, really. And not in Trump’s “sad” way. I mean, it is genuinely worthy of pathos. Dude is almost 80 and has had two brain surgeries, one of them emergency surgery after he stroked.
He is the personification of the Democrat party.
They put him up because he is the best they have got.
They have been circling the drain for years. Sooner or later they were bound to go down.
I agree with your first statement.
I would disagree and say they put him up because (a) he was all that was left out of a field of complete crapola, (b) Bernie was on his way to winning the primary, and (c) the DNC knew Bernie would get slaughtered by Trump.
I actually think the way the media covers Trump is backfiring with some surprising people. Months ago, I was waiting in a lobby with some millenials from work (one of whom is a state department brat) and CNN was playing on the TV. CNN was doing its usual outrage about something Trump did and state department brat turned to the rest of us and said “well what is he supposed to do? Like any other president would be different.”
Hit reply too soon. The others all were like yeah, they’re always so outraged. I was surprised by their reaction.
Safe bet: China says up, look down. MSM says daylight, it is nighttime.
Oh, and that Gavin Newsome guy, would someone please kick that guy until shit comes out of his nose.
So it’s not just the small places closing down. The I-X Center in Cleveland just announced it’s permanently closing at the end of the year. This was a huge convention center that usually would hold the boat, auto, RV, home, and other shows (sometimes multiple ones at a time).
The 2.2-million-square-foot event center is owned by the city of Cleveland, which acquired it by threat of eminent domain in early 1999. Since that time, it has been leased to the I-X Center Corp., which handled the day-to-day operations for the facility.
The city initially acquired the building to tear it down to make room for a new runway at adjacent Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. That runway was subsequently determined unnecessary.-
Top. Men.
You can bet the Top.Men. had good intentions and remind themselves every time they check, with shit-eating grins on their faces, their personal financial statements.
The city of Cleveland has a history of running businesses they own into the ground (story from the pre-lockdown times).
It sounds like they’re just one five-year plan away from profit!
Baugh said the I-X Center’s business model was under stress even before the pandemic.
The building had comorbidity.
Also I didn’t know that the city stole the building.
Did you say big stuff in Cleveland is closing down?

You’d think some election prognosticator would be somewhat smarter than a semi-bright border collie, crunch how much off the swing state polls were in 2016 (say, overestimating Hillary’s margin by 7% or so), and then adjust the polls in each swing state by that margin.
Except then they’d likely predict Biden was favored to lose, and get fired or unpersoned.
Maybe some less lazy Glib could do that calculation.
A great point and another factor against the polls (as put out by the less-than-unbiased media): there’s a certain “don’t want to be the bearer of bad news” factor. Look at what happens to people who go against the DNC/Media narrative – on almost any subject. They get pilloried, unpersoned, and deplatformed.
To wit:
1. Look at the microbiologist saying that the virus was created (something that was said very early on, by the way, and look at how that story got strangled and buried).
2. Look at what happened to people who said that masks show little to now efficacy against respiratory virus spreading.
3. Look at what happened to people who said the rioting – er, I mean, “mostly peaceful protests” weren’t.
4. Look at what happens to stories/data that show police really don’t kill black men in significant numbers.
5. Look at how they’ve handled the signing of the Middle East Peace accords.
Polls that say OMB is leading?? Oh, no, no, no, not when they’ve been telling everyone he’s a racist, fascist dictator ruining America.
Nobody who makes their living in the public consumption of information is going to go against The Narrative. And The Narrative is that Biden is leading and will win. Because he has to or it will be the End Times.
And the End of Times will be democrats insisting Republicans cheated and more rioting and tripling down on everything that got Trump elected in 2016.
“Some
men[political parties] you just cain’t reach. So you get what we had here lastweek[election] — which is the wayhethey wantsit.” Either they’ll learn, or they’ll eventually implode.Anyone remember all of those breathless articles about the death of the Republican party? That was progjection, too. They let themselves be dragged further and further Left (I’m putting that squarely on The Lightbringer) and now there is almost no such thing as a moderate democrat. At least not on the national stage. It’s no longer permissible to be a working class, blue-collar dem. Where are all the pro-Life Dems now? Where is their voice?
The more I see, the more I’m convinced that what we’re witnessing – and what the politicos will be the last ones to figure out – is an electoral shift. Trump is a moderate Dem in his leanings – which is also why he drives a lot of us Glibertarians nuts – but it’s also why he’s capturing the heretofore working class dem bastions, like in Wisconsin and other traditional dem strongholds.
Trump hasn’t “flipped the map” as the pols like to say: the map flipped around him and he was in a position to take advantage of it. Those working class voters aren’t coming back to the Dems any time soon, given the trajectory of the party. That’s why they ran Biden, by the way. They’re trying to recapture those places they lost. I don’t think that’s happening.
Maybe some less lazy Glib could do that calculation.
You want me to find the difference between two numbers and then subtract that number from another number? Okay but I might have to take off my shoes.
Around 8% is my guess, how much they are estimating sloJoe’s chances in the swing states. IOW, he goan lose.

We need to see more of this.
Meh, wanna makes a statement go protest at the state house or sommat, I hate this kinda stuff even if I agree with it, I’m just trying to buy an egg slicer here, man.
They’re not hassling anyone. A little noisy, perhaps.
I am annoyed by public displays like this, it lacks couth, there’s a time and place for this. If they weren’t “protesting’ and were just a bunch of loud, rowdy frat boys I’d feel the same way. Inside voices people.
LOL
Did you see the Karen retreat back up the aisle with here cart. Commie cooties can’t me back up here!

Is it just me, or is that a modified jet with rotors on the wingtips?
Turboshaft engines. I’m guessing it made more sense to put them out there rather than run a heavy drive shaft out from the fuselage. Plus they probably get a little forward thrust from the exhausts.

“$1 billion-plus riot damage is most expensive in insurance history”

It was mostly peaceful damage.
Rioting is a right and so the public should pay for it!
Because 9/11 was act-of-war?
I think they mean most expensive riot damage.
Fox News won’t let Gingrich talk about Soros bought DA’s.
Pussies.
Have you heard anyone talk about Soros besides internet commenters?
Places like Daily Caller and Gateway Pundit will. Not sure about Breitbart. Obviously InfoWars.
Bill Barr has talked about his shenanigans.
