Ciudad De Escanaba

Crazy. If asked to guess I would have said somewhere in Wyoming or Utah, but definitely not Oregon because of the whole PNW association I need to remember isn't all of the state.

This is the edge I feel we're uncomfortably inching towards.

It's one of a few possibilities for initiating a desperate hail Mary power grab I think, possibly in conjunction with other pre-planned malicious events.

Interesting quote. I'd never thought of it precisely that way before, I suppose I always assumed a "shared history" view because I view the world the way my education shaped me, historical warts and all, yet even if told 100% accurately, I still can't share in the generational pain & aftereffects.

So the answer is yes?

"C'mon America, start getting used to the idea of being a Soviet-style satellite state, like say...Hungary!

Who's that fabulous humanitarian leader they've got again?

So what'd you come up with?

"Writer's Block Blues" in F?

Oh, okay then.

Sure.

My brain seems to keep tripping over inner-monologuing "Calzone Time" relative to "Hammer Time" within the context of the song, and even though both are two-syllable words, the "-er" pronunciation is more abrupt than "Calzone", with the vowel ending allowing for the possible 3rd syllable sound "i".

I admit I do not fully understand the ability or inability of Congress to parcel out of the funding DHS in a way that doesn't also impact services like TSA.

It's possible, right? Can't Congress theoretically just forge ahead with a new round of spending that ONLY leaves DHS out and funds the rest?

"And one day, when America woke up, it was greeted on all media channels by a loop of President Putin, with Trump at his side, giving a speech about how he was the ruler of the world now, with all the nuclear codes and access that implies, and that we should comply, because resistance is futile."

Which meant that the adult beverage consumption and purchasing area was immediately surrounding it?

😆

Bah, back in those days that was the whole park, lol.

I actually finally took the time to read that, both articles, and man....

It's always worse than you think, but don't worry, that just means you're human when you feel that way.

The abuse of the truth embodied in one revolting creature, with equally abhorrent offspring.

😕

So because we illegally invaded and took over Venezuela, everyday Cubans should suffer fuel shortages because of it, through no fault of their own but to exist where they live?

This is especially true of the fossil fuel industry vis a vis Trump.

"Clean, beautiful coal"

Wish the trophy had been made out of it and smudged his stupid red tie and monogrammed quadruple XL dress shirt.

I know. I was trying to be all deep and rhetorical.

😆

The patterning in the cinder block and the sheet metal of the train have some sort of synergy going on besides a difference in apparent motion.

How NSPM-7 Seeks to Use "Domestic Terrorism" to Target Nonprofits and Activists | ACLU What President Donald Trump’s latest memorandum targeting civil society does, does not, and cannot do.

Since it seems the old "NSPM-7" nomenclature slipped under my radar (Sorry! "The Zone" was flooded!) and I hadn't heard of it, here's a helpful link for others like me. Dastardly shit, that.

...and on top of all that, they are building & buying or trying to build & acquire tens upon tens of thousands more beds than they could possibly need for immigration.

Who are those supposed to be for?

Conehead the Barbituate! I remember reading this back in the December 1982 issue of Mad magazine and have been looking for it for years. Don Martin's hilarious artwo...

If he was just going to reach into a grab bag of country tropes for a song, he should have just covered "You Can Have The Crown" instead.

Has drug testing for US public officials just gone completely by the wayside?

Remember how proud Reagan used to be to submit his urine sample?

"I said no, Nancy!"

Dang, when she screamed that nonsensical, completely unrelated bullshit, my first thought was "Damn, if she thinks it's cooking at 50k while he's alive, what's she going to say when it cracks 60k immediately upon the news of that motherfucker's demise?"

It reminds me a little of my old Schecter C-1 Classic, which was a great playing guitar with good hardware (was always a little iffy on the "vine of life" neck inlays):

"AND THE DOW, DID YOU SEE HOW THE DOW ESCALATED IMMEDIATELY TO OVER 60K UPON DEPOSING TRUMP? THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT!"

😆

She needs some sort of an extended break from her fake reality and be immersed into the truth of this one.

I hear prison's a great place for that kind of reading and reflection she'll need to get there.

I wish her well.

There's no telling if Tulsi isn't a sleeper agent that ALSO sleeps around, or isn't a double sleeper agent that sleeps around extra, on both US and Russian intel gathering missions of dubious origins.

She's got herself a Donnie Daddy and a Vladdie Daddy.

I just need a giant, colorful monitor that I can use a gaming console as a media center with, the ability to hardwire other physical media to (DVD's), and the ability to cast from devices, that's it.

The scariest thing of all this is the increase in PFAS we'll now see.

They call them "forever chemicals" for a reason, and I'm not trying to be a guinea pig for DuPont.

There's no going back from that.
