It’s a very special weekend. I held WebDom and lObOt in my cupped hands, cried out, “Fly my little birds, fly! You’re free!” and flung them in the air. And they flew out to a wonderful house renovation project nearby where they’ll paint, plaster, polish, repair, and raise ill-mannered cats, well-mannered children, and frightened chickens. So I am again alone, an Empty Nester, my entire house now a Man Cave. Time to make some French press coffee and put Dream Theater on my stereo with the volume up all the way.
Birthdays today include a guy who did everything except sex toys; the French guy who, unlike Mike, actually did something useful; a pioneer in his craft who did it perfectly; a woman who wanted to be alone; a guy who was not Sephardic; the greatest female voice artist; the other guy whom Oswald didn’t shoot; a pitcher with the longest kick and stretch I’ve ever seen (and delivered the finest pitching performance in MLB history); a guy whom I’d like to introduce to my ex-wife; a sure-fire guarantee that a movie would be funny; a guy who will always be my president, and I hope yours; an accomplished guy who might actually have been a half-decent president and actually WAS racially attacked; a guy who outdid Theisman; Heroic Mulatto’s spirit animal; a brilliant actor who made us love evil; Mr. One Nut himself; and my favorite rapper.

The Martha’s Vineyard clip- I was certain the 2nd guy was Larry David.
The Dems certainly do love their brain damaged politicos. I’m thinking the Reps do as well, considering that Biden won*, and Fetterman isn’t 15-20 points behind.
*Even if there was cheating in 2020, (and there almost certainly was), Biden received a shit-ton of real votes.
He’s also got the MSM and Big Tech running interference for him among the low-information and suburban voters.
His ads are low-information all on their own.
I’m not sure why “carpetbagging” is supposed to be an effective slam against these GOP candidates when it has never in my recollection succeeded as an argument against the many Dem carpetbaggers out there.
If they didn’t have double standards…
I remember it coming up when Hillary Clinton ran for Senate.
I don’t remember it mattering all that much.
Fuck, they celebrated her swooping in to bestow her magnificence upon us undeserving flock.
You really should show some gratitude.
I’m not sure what carpetbagging means. Is it collectivism about who’s from where so they’re guilty of all the things that ever happened where they were born?
If a Southerner bought into such a notion, he would observe that Hillary is from Chicago and educated in Massachusetts, so she belongs in NY a lot more than she ever did in AR.
Maybe the difference was everybody knew she REALLY didn’t want to be in an icky-people state.

*Even if there was cheating in 2020, (and there almost certainly was), Biden received a shit-ton of real votes.
It’s ridiculous to pretend there aren’t more than enough people in this country dumb enough to elect Joe Biden President, fair and square.
The real test comes in 2024.
I refuse to believe there are enough dumb people to vote for him (or more likely, his replacement) after the damage his administration has caused in two short years.
Nah, the test is this November. The Dems don’t have the wherewithal to rig house seat elections in every district. They can and will use their machines in the cities to swing the state level votes.
I don’t understand how it isn’t obvious that they cheated. They’ve been cheating for decades in Philly, Detroit, Atlanta, etc… even if it’s just to fuck over their own party members. The idea that they wouldn’t use those machines to rig the presidential against Trump seems very naïve to me.
Well, someone did look at the votes in PA in ’20 and concluded that if there was cheating in Philly and Pittsburgh it was pretty much within normal parameters, and where Biden won was outside of those areas (i.e. where he did significantly better than Clinton in ’16).
An expansion of the machine makes more sense to me than presuming it was on the up and up after stopping the counting in the middle of the night and getting wild swings in the results.
Considering the MSM and Big Tech combined to help Biden and hurt Trump, and you add in the fact that the elections in many states were probably run in a manner designed to help Democrats (probably illegal as well but the people who decided that were in the bag for the Democrats), it probably was remarkable Trump and the Republicans did as well as they actually did.
Kind of notable that Trump lost while Republicans picked up House seats.
To be fair, the same things happened in ’94 with Clinton. What is really odd is that 18 of 19 bellwether counties went for Trump and Biden still won. Add those two plus Trump winning the swing states he did makes for a convergence of electoral result irregularities that lend itself towards the conclusion that not everything may have been above board.
Er, I meant ’96.
Ah yes, back in ’96, when we actually loved divided govt.
Let’s also not forget that every swing state that went for Biden and was audited, failed the audit.
“Kind of notable that Trump lost while Republicans picked up House seats.”
Not really, the Presidential election is winning states not districts. Cheating enough in big cities can win states.
There is little recourse for many to move beyond TRUMP!!!!11!
In the end, that is both the means and motivation. And when you combine that with a strong sense of “it can’t happen here!” you get a lot of willful ignorance.
It is entirely possible that Pudin’ Head won no matter the margin of fraud, but the whack-a-mole of voting irregularities that keep showing from that election, along with the shear destruction of faith in the process from “investigations for us, nothing for you!” coming from Team Blue… We are in a deep, dark place.
move beyond TRUMP!!!!11!
correct
but requires Trump to shut up and for Republicans to stop polishing his knob
QED.
Both would be nice.
They’ve been cheating for decades in Philly, Detroit, Atlanta, etc… even if it’s just to fuck over their own party members.
In 1962, farmer Jimmy Carter ran for the Georgia state senate. He lost, but was able to prove ballot-stuffing, and won the do-over. So yeah, been going on for a long time, and not just in the big cities.
I sometimes wonder how things would’ve turned out had Jimmuh just taken the L. Would 1976 have gotten us President Mo Udall? President (shudder) Jerry Brown? Would Wallace run as an independent again and siphon off enough Yellow Dog Dixiecrat votes to get us four more years of Ford?
If the Donks don’t get trashed in the Midterms for what they’ve done over the past two years (Afghanistan, foreign policy in general going into the toilet, the economy, extending shutdowns, the economy, forced vaccinations, the economy, intentionally driving people into viewing their neighbors as the enemy, the economy, the Misinformation Board — and not to forget, the economy), then I don’t expect it will be any better in 2024. Bloody depressing that they still have a hard core 40% or so that evidently either want to tear down the entire world as long as “their side” gets to wear the snazzy uniforms in the end or are just so damned stupid or pig ignorant that they think this is all just peachy.
Yeah, I’m pretty thoroughly black pilled at this point. Makes one fully appreciate the Puritans or other groups that just wanted to get the hell away from what they saw as decadent or collapsing societies. Wish we had a frontier that wasn’t already claimed by the same governments we’re trying to avoid and was habitable.
Elon will save us.
*starts shopping for fashionable space helmets*
Yeah, we tend to forget the bubble we all live in here. The country is full of stupid people that vote; yay democracy.
Antarctica is looking good right about now. Too bad about those pesky Things.
The various governments have already claimed it. There’s no way they’d let anyone settle there. It would take an Elon and a Moon, Mars or “hollow out an asteroid” shot at this point, I expect — and only if you could get the rocket off without them shooting it down out of spite.
It’s really this simple: women and Republicans are responsible for all the stupid stuff in the US.
I fixed pretty much every behavioral flaw in my son by the time he was 12 by simply observing about this or that: girls don’t like that. Every gangbanger, every bum…..someone’s fucking him. Women are sitting on the entire supply, and how they dole it out entirely decides whether men will be asswipes or peacocks.
How Republicans can be so consistently inconsistent, talking 100% of the time about balanced budgets and WeKnowHowToWar and then they ring up record deficits and pour 3,000 Marines down some Asian crawdad hole to achieve absolutely bupkis same as the morons across the aisle, and there you have it. If Republicans did ANY of the things they promised, I might think about them. But it’s all Two Corinthians at St Johns and Scaramucci and dime whores, even funnier than the Dems for all the Moral Majority posing. A judge here or there who doesn’t hate guns but still loves him some cops going through your underwear and it’s really just Chevy-Ford. How the fuck a party can fail to outsmart and outperform the Democrats is beyond me….and entirely on them.
The fact that his approval rating is above 15% or so proves you correct.
“Also added are prohibitions against possession of many types of firearms in ‘sensitive locations’ which include streets, sidewalks, parks and most public locations.”
When is a ban not a ban?
Look, Smeagol — already told you I’ve never met Mr. Baggins and I don’t have anything in my pockets.
How this doesn’t constitute a defacto ban is beyond me.
Speaking of the binary, this was released this week.
The Loudoun County School Board just will not quit.
Sorry, the policy is a year old, but there were updates to it recently.
Now square the circle of keeping real women safe when you let men asserting a gender identity as women use the women’s restroom.
Note that this policy was implemented AFTER they got caught covering up a sexual assault by a boy pretending to be a girl using the girls’ restrooms.
I consistently assert that my gender identity can change from moment to moment. If I want to follow some hot woman into the locker room, it’s because I identify as a woman at that point in time.
consistently asserted
That’s an ASSAULT on gender fluidity!
Ambulance chasers seek new horizons
Attorneys representing more than 30 of the migrants flown to Massachusetts this week asked the US Attorney for Massachusetts and the state’s attorney general to open criminal investigations into the flights.
Lawyers for Civil Rights, which provides free legal support for communities of color and immigrants, criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling the flights a “political stunt,” in a press release Saturday.
——-
US Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins told reporters Thursday she would be speaking with members of the Department of Justice about DeSantis’ actions, saying she did not yet have enough information to say whether he broke any laws in sending the migrants to Martha’s Vineyard. She added that their first priority is making sure the people who arrived were treated respectfully.
Just don’t accept a ride from a Kennedy.
Just imagine if we as a country, but most especially with all the lawyers involved, spent half of this effort on streamlining the actual legal process for immigration.
(Oh, but then there wouldn’t be an issue to exploit and public troughs to gorge at! oink oink oink…)
Have you ever met an immigration attorney?
The question answers itself!
Fine. Let’s all agree then that shipping them anywhere other than back across the Mexican border is unlawful.
Civil rights? They don’t got no steenken civil rights.

I refuse to believe there are enough dumb people to vote for him (or more likely, his replacement) after the damage his administration has caused in two short years.
I’m afraid there are a lot of people out there who don’;t even recognize it as damage (aside from the price of gas). And they’re willing to blame that on Putin’s assault on those scrappy freedom loving democrats in Ukraine.
A lot? Sure. But a majority of voters? No way.
Applies just as much to the midterms.
A majority in most districts (that have been carefully engineered to produce predictable partisan results)?
I would expect a lot of districts that barely went for Biden in ’20 to swing the other way this year.
Who knows. Just seems to be the usual pattern for a midterm + the current administration is spectacularly more destructive and loathsome than in recent midterms IMHO.
AOC’s district could literally run Hitler’s corpse and as along as the D was attached, the result could be safely assumed.
That would be an improvement in a whole lot of ways.
My NYC district is an actually competitive one – it flipped back to the GOP in ’20. The Dems tried – and failed – to gerrymander her out this year, so it’s still competitive. I am considering whether to break my promise to stop voting and haul my ass into the booth and kick a vote her way. What I really want to do is hate-vote against every Dem on the page.
That’s exactly the reason to do it.

Apocalypse porn
U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s pattern of pushing for a religious takeover of America, spreading falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election and warning of an impending judgment day amounts to Christian nationalism, religious, political and social experts say.
Those ideals threaten the rights of non-Christian — and typically non-white — Americans but also endanger the foundation of the country’s democratic process, those experts say. The far-right Western Slope congresswoman represents a high-profile and incendiary voice in the movement, which is infiltrating virtually every level of American government and its judiciary.
——-
Boebert and her contemporaries, whether in Congress, state or local governments, can be expected to increase the volume and frequency of their Christian nationalist rhetoric as the November midterm elections approach and even beyond, Philip Gorski, a sociologist and co-director of Yale’s Center for Comparative Research, said.
“This is new and worrisome,” Gorski said. “There’s an increasing number of people saying ‘We’re in this battle for the soul of America. We’re on the side of good and maybe democracy is getting in the way. Maybe we need to take power and if that means minority rule in order to impose our vision on everybody else then that’s what we’re going to do.’”
Boebert’s comments Friday in Woodland Park serve as a dog whistle for violence, said Anthea Butler, chief of the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Religious Studies. Especially in the context of the congresswoman’s penchant for firearms and her framing the issue around the November elections.
“Now the apocalypse is because if we don’t get our people in, it’s an apocalypse,” Butler said. “She’s posing with guns and talking about the apocalypse.”
Armageddon, all the way down.
Dictatorship of the minority is not that bad as long it’s our minority. We just can’t afford to let those other guys get their hands on the whip and reins.

Blacks and Hispanics are far more Christian than whites at this point.
non-Christian — and typically non-white — Americans
Dumbass demographic assumption. Non-white Americans, black and hispanic in particular, are more churchy than whitey male millennial journalists.
But enough about Darth Brandon and the overuse of Executive Orders and the reconciliation process, back to bashing the Stupid Party!
“…amounts to…” in the first sentence.
That’s their whole play. And the media lets them get away with it all the time. And the low-info folks buy it. Everything they don’t like, or even everything about their opponents, are grounds for accusations of (usually) racism. It’s always BS.
Basically, the logical thing today is that if a proggie accuses somebody, anybody, of racism, you should assume they’re NOT. It’ s all slander. And anybody who buys it is an idiot.
This is journalism.

Lion-size otters prowled Ethiopia 3 million years ago
https://www.livescience.com/lion-sized-otter-unearthed-ethiopia
The species, named Enhydriodon omoensis, lived about 3.5 million to 2.5 million years ago and co-existed with a group of extinct human relatives known as australopithecines, bipedal hominids that lived from 4.2 million to about 2 million years ago. E. omoensis was colossal compared with its cute contemporary counterparts, and the study authors estimated that it weighed more than 440 pounds (200 kilograms).
E. omoensis may have eaten terrestrial and aquatic prey, either by hunting or scavenging, but the researchers think it spent its days on land, rather than in water.

Apolitical jurisprudence
The Supreme Court returns to action next month amid a backlash to its contentious ruling that curtailed abortion rights, sparking debate even among the justices themselves about whether an institution that relies on the public perception of its legitimacy could be losing the trust of the people.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan has several times over the summer warned that the court risks being seen as an outcome-oriented political branch of government. Chief Justice John Roberts, one of the court’s six conservatives, pushed back against some of the criticism in a recent public appearance, saying people should not question the court’s legitimacy just because they disagree with its rulings. Fellow liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor has echoed some of Kagan’s sentiments.
The Supreme Court’s authority, uniquely among the three branches of government, rests on how its rulings are received by the people, including elected officials tasked with enforcing the law, because it does not have the power to unilaterally enforce them itself. As Founding Father Alexander Hamilton wrote in 1788 about the role of the judiciary, courts “have neither force nor will, but merely judgment.” That makes the public perception of how the Supreme Court operates vitally important.
“The court’s legitimacy comes down to whether the public thinks the court is doing law, not politics,” said Sherif Girgis, a professor at Notre Dame Law School who was a law clerk for conservative Justice Samuel Alito.
It’s not so much that people object to the court focusing more on outcomes than law, they just want their preferred outcome to prevail.
Liberal justices complaining about being seen as outcome-oriented is rich.
Pay no attention to the zillion obviously political decisions over the last hundred years.
The projection is strong here.

It is important that the public think the justices are reaching decisions in good faith based on the law, Girgis said. “It’s bad for the system if the public doesn’t think that’s what they are doing,” he added.
And that’s why the media will continually swamp the airwaves with stories about “Trump’s courts”.

‘Our stores are windows into America, and every day, our partners witness the challenges facing our communities – challenges to personal safety and security, racism, a growing mental health crisis, and issues magnified by COVID,’ a Starbucks spokesperson said in a July letter obtained by 4WWL news.

First day off this month tomorrow and of course we’re getting smacked by a big old typhoon.
The pic that accompanies that article about unzipped jeans is a let down. They aren’t showing any more skin than zipped up low waist jeans that women have been wearing forever, she’s just wearing shorts that would be up to her belly button if they were zipped.
So I see Brandon has arrived in the UK for the Queen’s funeral. Prediction: He’s going to do and/or say something massively cringeworthy. With his record, it may be some sort of biological mishap or perverted outburst, or dementia-on-parade, or maybe just a “look at meeeeee” out of habit. Maybe he’ll have a teleprompter in front of him calling her and their whole nation and heritage racist. And the US press will pretend it didn’t happen, or is exactly what one should do at a solemn historic moment like this.
This time, though, I hope the British people, who have been pretty classic/classy about the Queen, finally break out of sheepdom and give a wholehearted LGBFJB cheer.
Probably shouldn’t get my hopes up about that part, though.
He’ll go in for one last hair-sniff.
That’ll give the queen a stiff upper lip.
PLease let it be live on camera…..
You mean like talking selfies with the Danish PM?
Good morning, Old Man!
I never heard of the Baseball Project. Buck was the best part of REM. And he played guitar on one of my favorite Replacements songs.
I hope the Honey Harvesters have a fantastic day. I wish I were at Fourscore’s compound being verbally abused by the Pontiff of the Prairie.
Denver is set to provide 140 homeless transgender and non-binary people with $12,000 in no-strings-attached cash to help lift them out of destitution – and combat the squalid encampments and soaring crime rates plaguing the Mile-High City.
Will they get a ticket to Mexico City, too?
All of our homeless became transgender over night.
To any of TPTB who may be about – I submitted an inquiry a while back via the “Leads/Submissions” on the front page, asking if there was interest in/need for having someone (like me) take up the reins of a recently-dormant regular monthly feature. Unless I somehow overlooked the response in my email, I never heard back. If my original message got lost in the ether, what would be the best way to try again? If you prefer, you can respond to my email of record in the vast Glibs database. Even if you’re not interested, I might be able to take a “ding” letter to a bar near one of the local universities for a free drink.
It may have gone to SP, and she’s not been answering her emails. Try me instead (omwc at this domain).
Thanks! Will do.
“NYC fires another 850 teachers and teaching aides after they failed to get the COVID vaccine by September 5 deadline – bringing total to 1,950 terminated by department of education since vaccine mandate took effect”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11223587/NYC-fires-850-teachers-teaching-aides-failed-COVID-vaccine-Sept-5.html
What do they think the vaccine is going to do?
Make money. Kill people.
They’re still doing that shit?!?
Further proof that it has stopped being about anything other than a demonstration of compliance.
See also: the military.
On the bright side, NYC needed this badly. There are way too many teachers what with so many kids exiting the system. They have managed to find the ONE way you can fire a teacher now.
If they relent, there’s going to be a lot of pissed off people who complied.
They can’t go back now.
Nothing.
They must Obey or be punished.
Prove your loyalty to Team Blue!
The food trucks are way overpriced. I payed 11 US for a smoked brisket sandwich. The bread and salad.sun dried tomato toppimg are good, but the brisket is kinda dry and not enough quantity. Dunno why brisket is often dry in romania maybe not enough fat

That is not 11$ worth of sandwich. Then again prices are getting silly
I think you’ve spotted what’s going on.
Maybe one of Biden’s security detail will get busted by the Limeys for a gun violation.
This feels like a personal attack on Grosspatzer

“some founder cornered me at a party recently: “do you feel bad eating octopus?” i confessed i didn’t. “well you should, they’re super smart animals! anyway, we have bred an octopus that’s like… literally retarded – you can eat it guilt-free!” i was left speechless”
https://twitter.com/typedfemale/status/1571268237396148224
Founder? Founder of what, mouth breathing?
I remember l0b0t saying he wouldn’t eat octopus for just that reason.
I get it, but so are pigs.
Going to be heading from my hotel over to Honey Harvest soon. We’re going to try and get an open zoom up for anyone that wants to peek in.
“For millions of people watching this story unfold, this was yet another example of the ineradicable stain of American racism, of just how little progress we’ve really made.
Except it didn’t happen.
There is no evidence that the chain of events described by Richardson and her family members occurred. There isn’t even evidence a single slur was hurled at her and her teammates, let alone a terrifying onslaught of them.”

“By this point, between the original New York Times story and a tepid followup, a combined five reporters and researchers had been pantsed by a small student paper. If all this provoked any soul-searching on the part of the Times, it was unclear from its report on BYU’s findings.
Remarkably, their most recent story treated the events as unresolved: “B.Y.U. did not directly address why its findings contradicted the account by Richardson, and the statements by both universities left questions unanswered.” It also included a statement from Duke’s athletic director saying the university stood by the volleyball team. The story ends with a reminder that at the overwhelmingly Mormon school, less than 1 percent of students are black, and that a recent report highlighted the university’s diversity issues. It’s unclear exactly why this is relevant; the point seems to be for the Times to advertise that it understands racism is a serious problem at BYU, and that even if the school were not guilty of it this time, everyone knows the university’s soul is not entirely spotless.”
Yeah, they can fuck right off with that bullshit.
Hey, if racism is an “ineradicable stain” on America, why keep injecting it into every conversation?
Embrace the power of browbeating.
“That’s how we keep it ineradicable! Duh!”
Fraudulent cries of racism is not the sort of misinformation that will get you suspended from Twitter. Nearly the opposite, in fact.
Vindictive targetted witch hunt? Nonsense!
The convergence of investigations against former President Trump, led by the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida for classified materials, has put Attorney General Merrick Garland at the center of a political storm.
Republicans, led by former President Trump, have attacked Garland’s Justice Department as politically motivated and vowed to investigate his actions if the party retakes the House in November.
Democrats have mostly given Garland the space to do his job, but some liberals have argued there is already clear evidence to indict Trump and questioned why the attorney general is not pressing forward.
——-
After four years of the Trump Justice Department facing political pressure from the president and being accused of tilting the scales to benefit the party in the White House, President Biden pledged to restore a sense of independence to the agency and appointed Garland, who was nominated to the Supreme Court in 2016 but never got a hearing from Republicans.
Garland was confirmed with a bipartisan vote, 70-30, in March 2021. But efforts to depoliticize the Justice Department have run into a major obstacle with a burst of activity in investigations into Trump, thrusting Garland into the spotlight.
Just because his seat on the Supreme Court was stolen from him by McConnell and Trump does not mean anybody can claim even an appearance of a conflict of interest.
It is a mystery.
There’s still six weeks to the election; plenty of time for an October surprise indictment. As “high gas prices” fade into memory, and the “pandemic mandates” no longer stir up outrage, the Red Wave is going out. GOP may squeak out a House majority but I believe the Senate is lost.
I’ll go with house win and narrow senate majority for the GOP which I base on nothing whatsoever.
Never underestimate Joe Biden’s ability to fuck things up.
a Republican Senate is exactly what we need…..so it won’t happen 🙁
Some Democrats had already been airing frustrations over what they viewed as a glacial pace in probing Trump’s actions around Jan. 6, 2021. Those criticisms bubbled to the surface as a House committee investigating the attack on the Capitol held public hearings with damning new allegations about Trump’s rhetoric before the 6th and inaction on the day of the attack.
They’re not even trying anymore. And the trained seals will all sit up and flap their flippers in unison.
Scruffy Nerfherder: I occasionally take kratom recreationally. It’s a dry ground leaf powder and isn’t pleasant to take but it will give a mild buzz if you take enough. A lot of people swear by it for pain and insomnia but I don’t use it for that purpose. In general the red is for pain and sedation, the white is actually energizing and is mildly euphoria enducing (that’s what I take), and the green is between the two (and it gives me a headache but YMMV). Whatever you take it for be careful because it can get its claws in you if you take too much too often.

“US Marine Corps Quietly Drops Punishments For Refusing Covid-19 Vaccine”
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/us-marine-corps-quietly-drops-punishments-refusing-covid-19-vaccine
It’s about time you assholes.
Surprise
New York’s Yeshiva University announced Friday that it would put all undergraduate club activities on hold, days after losing a bid to have the US Supreme Court block a court order that requires the university to recognize an LGBTQ student club, an attorney for the club said.
The university sent an unsigned email saying it will “hold off on all undergraduate club activities” while it “takes steps to follow the roadmap provided by the US Supreme Court to protect (the university’s) religious freedom,” citing upcoming Jewish holidays, according to a copy of the email provided by the attorney.
That email was sent two days after the country’s highest Court declined in a 5-4 vote a request from the university to block a lower court order requiring it to recognize a “Pride Alliance” LGBTQ student club.
Katie Rosenfeld, the attorney representing the club, called the university’s latest move a “shameful tactic” that aims to pit students against their LGBTQ peers.
“The YU administration’s announcement today that it will cancel all student club activities rather than accept one LGBTQ peer support group on campus is a throwback to 50 years ago when the city of Jackson, Mississippi closed all public swimming pools rather than comply with court orders to desegregate,” Rosenfeld told CNN in a statement.
Bring on the water cannons and attack dogs.
Sucks they had to do it but this was the right move.
Sometimes the matador wins, and sometimes the bull.
The latest buzz word seems to be “it’s a political stunt” (with just enough voice tone and body language to demonstrate that is the most evil tactic anyone could ever use.)
Guess, what? The “Boston Tea Party” was a political stunt. Most of the BLM mostly riotous protests were political stunts. The 1st amendment enshrines “peaceful assembly” stunts.
Of course, sending illegal immigrants to Martha’s Millionaireyard was a stunt! And didn’t everyone demand “discussion” on the immigration topic? Well, now you are getting it.
Politics is nothing but stunts.
And stunts are nothing without a fall guy,

Are you suggesting banishment as an option? It’s an interesting notion, but where would/could the “insurrectionists” be shipped off to? A desert island?
Martha’s Vineyard?
If they get as spun up as they did from fifty Hispanic folks showing up I don’t think that’d fly.
This is the 2nd video and I’ve read several stories that also suggest it, but is there anything we fellow Americans can do for Martha’s Vineyard about their housing situation? One resident stated they had a housing crisis and others have suggested the housing situation there is bad. What can we do to help?
Pray for a meteor strike?
