That was fanastic.
LOL you only have to get five paragraphs in before they get to what she actually said, which wasn’t that.
We have a lot of new evidence coming our way … there’s a boatload of evidence in our favor
Put up or shut up. That’s all I’m asking.
Sounds familiar
I’m okay with incessant whiners just shutting the fuck up.
It would be a welcome change.
I’ve posted links to the documents in the case. You could take a look at them.
This is new evidence isn’t it? After the kraken turned out to be the crappin’, I’m just a shade skeptical of extraordinary claims.
So you didn’t look at the documents I linked in the past. OK.
I’m sorry, I honestly don’t remember the links, to AZ specifically?
Yes, I tracked down and found the filings in the case. I linked them. It was a week or two ago? I found a bunch of documents.
I poked around, and found one of the documents I linked.
This is her notice of appeal. It includes as exhibits three documents which she’s appealing. I can’t find documents on what she’s arguing in her appeal. One thing I noticed in this document is in the judge’s rejection/narrowing of counts – it looks like Lake’s lawyers fucked themselves by arguing intentional misconduct when they probably should have not argued intentional misconduct.
So, are you saying that the lawyers were imprudent?
Heh.
On a serious note, there were some spots where I thought the judge erred, and I thought I found Lake’s lawyers’ document on why. I can’t find that now.
I remember seeing it in a tweet, Juris refered to the messenger as a Q-anoner.

“More classified documents found at Biden’s home by lawyers”
Who gives a fuck. The guy is not president because the election was illegitimate and was stolen. Schwab and club only put him there because he’s the most corrupt piece of shit they could find. Not even Hillary is as low of a turd.

“Kari Lake: America will ‘turn into a Venezuela’ unless a judge installs me as governor”
I’m sorry, Kari. I know you think a lot of yourself. But we’re getting Venezuela do Norte regardless of if you even exist or not.
“No. Effing. Shit. I hope the lot of you get anally raped by a turkey buzzard.”
I’m not that familiar with this Turkey Buzzard. But unless it’s the identical twin cousin to a Velociraptor, I don’t think that will be nearly painful enough. Maybe a Bull Moose, that might do it.
That should have been turkey vulture. It’s Saturday.
Turkey Vulture also not painful enough.

Wen, who writes an occasional Washington Post column providing her observations on the pandemic, masking and other COVID-related subjects, cited sources claiming that most “patients diagnosed with COVID are actually in the hospital for some other illness.”
The article is titled, “We are overcounting COVID deaths and hospitalizations. That’s a problem.”
How bizarre. It was no big deal when You Know Who was President, though.
“More classified documents found at Biden’s home by lawyers”
I’m tellin’ ya, the more this goes on, the more convinced I am that this is the DNC kneecapping Biden from running again. Nothing happens by accident; all of this information and coverage is carefully curated to achieve whatever impact the Cathedral desires. They knew about the first tranche of documents months ago; you can’t tell me they didn’t know about these other caches either. Why the drip, drip, drip with new information every 24-48 hours? It’s to maximize the scandal.
My prediction of where this goes next: the talking points morph to “Biden didn’t knowingly compromise classified information, but his cognitive abilities have degraded such that he didn’t know what he was doing.” It’s their way of starting a conversation about how far gone he is without running into “You’re so CRUEL! He’s just a harmless old man!”
Definitely possible. But how do they get the VP to quit?
That does present one slight problem, not that most will notice it. This all happened well before he ran or was elected. They all insisted throughout the campaign and inauguration that he was fit and perfectly competent to handle the duties. Now, calling out deterioration after that is certainly plausible, but making it a retroactive argument?
Nothing was more important than getting rid of the Orange Anti-Christ. Biden was the only one of the Dem freak show who could beat him so they had to prop him up long enough to defeat drag him over the finish line. From there, it was about preserving some semblance of credibility until the midterms. With those in the rear view mirror, Biden has officially outrun his usefulness. They know he’s way too infirm to run again so they’ve gotta get rid of him. The bigger question to me is what they do to get Kammie to step aside and forego running…
Without an open Supreme Court seat – they got bupkus.
I think they let her be President. The Dems then get all sorts of political capital for having the first Female president. What they do to stop her from running…? The JFK treatment?
The Kamala files can be buried under JFK’s?
“The JFK treatment?”
Give the FBI a few weeks to spin up a fascist militia, and it’s a done deal.
My prediction of where this goes next: the talking points morph to “Biden didn’t knowingly compromise classified information, but his cognitive abilities have degraded such that he didn’t know what he was doing.”
They’re going to argue that he didn’t know what he was doing in 2017 when he left the Vice Presidency? Seems they would then have to admit that they were duped into voting for someone who was too mentally incompetent to be trusted with classified information.
See my response to Brooks below. The past 3 years have proven that a plurality of the population will believe *anything*; no matter how ridiculous, illogical, counterintuitive or contradictory as long as it comes from a “trusted source”.
“High school teacher mistakenly emails message containing sexually explicit photos to all students”
We need more details. Are we talking a few nudes, maybe some vanilla missionary? Or are we talking double-vaginal double-anal?
Lunch Ladies Gone Wild
My first inclination was that it was a male teacher, because, men do stupid shit like that with email.
GFYS asshole.
the talking points morph to “Biden didn’t knowingly compromise classified information, but his cognitive abilities have degraded such that he didn’t know what he was doing.”
That doesn’t make any sense to me. That stuff has been there for six years. Or are we supposed to believe Biden pilfered those papers just recently?
Doesn’t matter. The public has already proven that they’re only too eager to believe that the yellow ammonia-smelling liquid falling on them is rain.
If the Cathedral is maneuvering Biden toward a conveniently located open window, where is his replacement? Shouldn’t they be bringing him onto the stage for the Kremlinologists to promote?
Kamala is all they’ve got. Then if it really is a conspiracy to destroy the country, she nominates Buitigieg as the new VP.
They talk her into nominating Newsome as VP, and then they kill her 3-4 months before election day.
/adjusts tinfoil hat
What they really ant is a 3rd term for Obama. They’re not going to get it, do they’ll settle for Moochelle. Or Oprah. It doesn’t matter who they run, they’ll win because it will be rigged.
Want. Damn my spelling is bad today.
Anyone they put up is going to effectively be Obama’s 4th term.
Isn’t Biden Obama’s 3rd term?
“Never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.”

Putin and Xi must be laughing their asses off.
Zelenskyy is the one who’s really laughing his ass off. In process of becoming a billionaire courtesy of US taxpayers *and* he probably got to fuck some coked out Hollywood starlets after the Golden Globes.
There’s no doubt about it. Popping champagne corks.
It’s a shame (from their perspective) they have such enormous problems much closer to home. Hard to capitalize on a flailing US when you’ve kneecapped your own country they way they both have.
Russia and China, like the US, have huge amounts of natural resources, so they can fuck up some. They just have to fuck up less than the other guy (us), which they seem to be doing right now considering the US is in a self directed suicide course at the speed of light.
This is what has been perplexing me.
Assume that we are in fact “decline” aka fall of roman empire. For us to have a “collapse” something needs to either pull us down or stand up. Currently it looks like Russia and China have similar demographic problems. Similar corruption problems.
Only country that I can see becoming the next global power…..India?
I think it has just has different demographic and corruption problems.
Too many internal rivalries between ethic / linguistic factions. If you think the racial divides in this country are bad….
Or what RCD said.
The US would be the laughing stock of the world right now if it wasn’t for the Eurotards pretending to take us seriously. But they do realize they could be in for a world of hurt when this Ukraine thing implodes.

Serious question- is there any politician, Democrat or Republican, who could draw anywhere near Trump numbers to an in-person political rally?
Early Obama?
Why does that even matter? Equally seriously?
Fucking entertainment?
That’s why he gets the crowds. He is an entertainer. Not one of the programmed robots or transparent frauds. Who would go to see that?
Right, I get that. Why does that matter as politics? Is this just another example of being in the boredom killing business (from Thursday night’s movie).
In the before times, it seemed a good indicator of popular support.
Until Biden proved you can win by attracting handfuls of Karens sitting in a parking lot painted with six-foot diameter circles.
Why does that even matter? Equally seriously?
What is your preferred indicator of electability?
Number of guest editorials in the Washington Post?
“What is your preferred indicator of electability?”
The support of the Deep State? Not sure how you really determine that, but it appears to be the crucial variable.
I’m pretty sure that DeSantis would crush anyone right now if there would be a legitimate election. But there will never be another legitimate presidential election in the USA. That was over after 2020. They got away with it once and that was it. Schwab and his henchmen at the WEF will appoint whoever they want.
Exciting the mob – yep, that’s electability. Of course we have an electoral college to avoid that – but the vast majority of voters are too fucking stupid to understand that. So shit, let’s just get drunk and enjoy the fall!

Nice. Crochet?
My mom taught me decades ago but I moved on to some other shiny thing.
Yep, Tunisian, in the “entrelac” pattern.
Is that like Arabic for “squares” or something? 🤪
No idea. I saw it, I liked it, I wanted it, I tried it.
Same way most all of my projects start. *see* *WANT* *figure out how to do it*
Noice! Have you ever done the linen stitch? I learned that in a crochet class I took a few years ago. It looks (at least the way I learned it) almost like a cross between knitted and woven.
No. I absolutely will not crochet anything other than Tunisian because I don’t like the way it looks.
I racked five batches of mead today.

I looked them up. Looks like a good line up.
Had a technician tell me yesterday that it would take him an hour and a half to install a specific part on a system. I called bullshit, told the other techs to let me know when the part arrives, and did it in under a half hour. I had never done work on that system before.
Later, a machine we were supposed to start working on last night got delayed due to a subassembly that was not in the building. Went in today, fund a replacement in about five minutes and told the techs to stage the crap and get to building.
Kids…
Found a replacement, that is…

Public service announcement:
Oreos dipped in vodka-coke are delicious.
Vodka and coca cola?! Jeebus, only if I’m crazy desperate.
I used to be a rum and coke gal, but during the Dark Days of Covid, many stores and bars quit carrying regular gold rum and substituted “spiced” or “Jamaican” rum, which are heavily flavored with artificial vanilla.
Yuck.
So I switched to vodka coke.
(Also, I’m part Russian, so….)
((Also also, that might be part of why I rarely comment on the US proxy war in Ukraine))
I projectile vomited rum & coke one time too many in college so… coke is kind of not an option anymore.
Neither is rum.
My worst drinking experience in college led me to avoid drinking perfectly harmless orange juice for about 5 years.

I’ve gone back to my current stand-by – vodka and orange soda.
Princeton, MN-based United States Distilling Company makes a variety of vodkas for various regional chains. It’s a quality product, distilled four or five times. Following the trend started by Absolut years ago, they make a line of flavored spirits that are decent to drink and clock in at 70 proof.
I’ve found vanilla vodka goes well with cola (tastes like, well, Vanilla Coke), and also with ginger ale (tastes like cream soda). It would probably go nicely with actual cream soda, but that would be too sweet for my palate.
FWIW, their line of vodkas is called Veil at Total Wine nationwide.
I drink the vanilla vodka straight. Well, on the rocks since I don’t have space in the fridge for my spirits.
Yeah, that is up there with bourbon and Squirt.
lol I’ve done vodka and Sprite in a pinch.
I think the cheapest I’ve ever done Vodka is in OJ. Just buy good Vodka and drink it neat. The good stuff tastes like a better brand of finger nail polish remover instead of paint thinner, like Svedka, lol.
I’m drinking Tito’s over ice with a *tiny* splash of vermouth
Tito’s gave me a wicked hangover the one time I tried it a couple months ago.
Titos is great Vodka for the price. For any price really.
I recently heard that Tito’s is the number one selling spirit in the country.
Crazy rise for them. As you say, a good product at a good price.
Tito’s a by a wide margin the most expensive vodka here. “At any price” ain’t happening for me.
Wow, Titos is cheap here. About $20 a fifth.
We’ve got multiple recreational dispensaries in walking distance now. I’ve been contemplating some low-THC edibles to help with sleeping.
I haven’t smoked since high school.
I should add “of the major brands” I guess? Prolly more expensive stuff on the top shelf but Tito’s is vastly more expensive than the others on the same shelf.
Which didn’t surprise me cos it was really good. Dangerously so.
Monopolowa has won me over.
Surprised it’s expensive there.
Looks like it’s $17.50 for a fifth at Total Wine on the island. Guess it’s your local guys raising the price.
Also surprised by the hangover- I find it forgiving, provided you’re hydrating enough (e.g., vodka sodas )
Sobieski is my current go-to.
Also to be brutally honest, best cookie-drink combo I’ve ever had is the little Biscoff cookies on Delta Airlines dipped in Woodford Reserve. Best enjoyed in First Class, of course, but available for purchase even in the coach chaos.
I don’t drink, do they make Oreos stuffed with Ativan? I could dip those in anything.
Bullshit.
Bosa is a Viking god. He should absolutely not be penalized for that shit.
