Biden is practicing now, and I suspect he will make Trump look like oblige Trump’s mission to (further) substantiate himself a fool.

The Shitcunts

Ersatz86 ,

Nah, merely an aficionado of the more profane elements of the language. Of which the Aussies are amongst the very finest practitioners thereof, certainly.

Incidentally, are not all chaps intrinsically assless? Unless it is two or more meager-assed fellows/chaps to whom you refer?

If douchebaggery were a harnessable fissile energy source, these two shitcunts in close proximity could power North America for a thousand generations.

End qualified immunity for cops, increase minimum training requirements, and
institute federal licensing scheme to increase accountability, along with mandatory malpractice insurance coverage.

None of these standards are more strenuous than the ones I have to meet for my non-LEO job.

My smile grew larger with each paragraph.

But I reached near-euphoria with these masterpieces of financial journalism:

The filing also warns shareholders that Trump's involvement in the company could put it at greater risk than other social media companies.

and…

TMTG also disclosed to regulators that the company had identified "material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting" when it prepared a previous financial statement for the first three quarters of 2023.

😁

Dunno, I was actually leaning more towards the “indefensible, blatantly criminal fabrication of ‘facts’ of the sort that crumble under even the most casual gaze” kind of material weakness.

Holy shitsnacks! You are unfortunately correct. I was not bludgeoned by the purple sledgehammer the first visit.

How do I select BIFL walking boots?

Ive had a couple pairs of walking boots in the past and none of them have survived more than 6-8 3 day hikes and I'm sick of replacing them. What are some points to look for in good walking boots, where should I look to buy them from in the UK, how much should I look to be spending as a rough guide?...

Ersatz86 ,

Or you may want to invest in one of these:

When working the boats in Alaska, arguably one of the wettest environments around, every stateroom had one. Fishermen swear by them.

So you’re saying that California as the state with the largest economy in the Union as well as the PLANET’S fifth largest economy should go ahead and leave our system to the benefit neither of themselves nor anyone else? That’s a bold yet indefensible and ultimately idiotic statement.

We are all now dumber as a result of your comment. Please do not procreate.

Thank you.

What do we call this one?

This beaut was featured in a HuffPost story recently. Not only is it stupendously, embarrassingly clownish, but an entire team of people selected this image above all others to feature in their article.

Ersatz86 ,

Bias much?

The fellow quoted in the article works for the Cato Institute.

According to Wikipedia:
“ Cato scholars have consistently called for the privatization of many government services and institutions,[68] including NASA,[69] Social Security,[70] the United States Postal Service,[71] the Transportation Security Administration,[72] public schooling, public transportation systems,[73][74] and public broadcasting.[75] The institute opposes minimum wage laws, saying that they violate the freedom of contract and thus private property rights, and increase unemployment.[76][77] It is opposed to expanding overtime regulations, arguing that it will benefit some employees in the short term, while costing jobs or lowering wages of others, and have no meaningful long-term impact.[78][79] It opposes child labor prohibitions,[80][81][82] opposes public sector unions, and supports right-to-work laws.[83][84] It opposes universal health care, arguing that it is harmful to patients and an intrusion onto individual liberty.[85][86] It is against affirmative action.[87] It has also called for total abolition of the welfare state, and has argued that it should be replaced with reduced business regulations to create more jobs, and argues that private charities are fully capable of replacing it.[88][89] Cato has also opposed antitrust laws.[90][91]

Cato is an opponent of campaign finance reform, arguing that government is the ultimate form of potential corruption and that such laws undermine democracy by undermining competitive elections. Cato also supports the repeal of the Federal Election Campaign Act.[92][93]”

TLDR:
The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1977 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch,[6] chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Koch Industries..

All I need to know.

I have always, and will continue to, condemn the Koch brothers, both living and dead, just on principal.

Trumpism Is Devouring the Evangelical Movement ( www.nytimes.com )

Tim Alberta’s recent book about the Christian nationalist takeover of American evangelicalism, “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory,” is full of preachers and activists on the religious right expressing sheepish second thoughts about their prostration before Donald Trump. Robert Jeffress, the senior pastor at First...
