Yep. Sneakers is absolutely brilliant. Somehow it never got on the radar.

It's the Epstein Proximity Factor.

This completes the destruction of Jaqui Kennedy's rose garden, I think.

Iโ€™m really gonna ask you please not to turn your nose up at the WSJ story and sneer that itโ€™s a distraction.

These men harmed real people. They used their power and money to trap and abuse them.

Thatโ€™s not a distraction, actually. Thatโ€™s central to what matters.

Stunning! An 8-hour time-lapse to show the Earth is rotating while capturing the Milky Way.

I used to think democracy only needed free elections, rule of law, human rights and freedom of the press.

I now think it also needs academic freedom, use of scientific evidence by government, trustworthy public communications; and participatory and deliberative citizen engagement.

"Trust in Trump" Repainting the office while the henches are burning the state down. (And building a few gulags/slave labour prisons.)

But, they might be able to host UFC bouts! Introduce a whole new clientele to the KC. No wait. They did that for Jan 6; a whole new clientele in the Capitol. Those characters totally trashed the place and the innocent lives in their way...

TRACO - but that's a really classy way to chicken out. (None of us would be aware of such heinous duplicity.

Ah, yes. The dignity of the huckster-in-chief.

And made in the USA, I bet.

Have you read his "Story of English Poetry" volumes. Asking for a friend - I see my library has them.

I hadn't thought to look at it that way, but yes - it's a typical behaviour. Not the sort of out-of-control chap you want with power over the "warfighters"

Entirely expected, but still tacky, gross, vulgar, self-indulgent...but expected. Boobs, baubles, billions and baldness. What's to surprise...

Right Radical Lunatics destroy US Birthright protections! In a devastating but razor -thin Supreme Court judgement takes this step without considering constitutionality of Birthright provisions.
Razor-thin? Yes, it was a 4-3 vote once the padded vote of two compromised, conflicted, corrupted...

I wonder what the white men on eggshells are wanting to say? If it's racist or sexist shit, fair enough, they should be careful. But, yeah, Fox is saying it, so...
