The mesmerizing dance of the fat fighting cats

That's the video Americans needed to experience. Thanks, Dani

Much of what you've said there is why the pic in the OP won't happen.

Giving tax breaks every few years to the corporations and upper 10% of wage earners so they can hoard $ since the 1980s - while denying the rest of America all the better things our lives could be if we weren't propping up billionaires, allowing hundreds of thousands to cheat on paying their taxes.

Just 1 example: (Denying the hiring of 160 plus IRS agents to police the cheaters is a great way to extend the grift - instead, let's arm officers and teachers and establish a police station inside every public and private grade school, junior high and high school with the money earmarked for those IRS agent hires).

Keep allowing Republican and Democrat congressmen/women to play the NYSE using their insider information gleaned from sitting in on special committees and seeing the future - 3 to 12 months before ordinary investors. THAT has worked great (for congressmen) since 1981.

If we were to go back to the taxation levels prevalent in America during the 1960s - we could get back into the black and out of the red in less than 10 years, cut back on our military spending and reroute those funds to infrastructure expenditures.

We're too busy allowing our Supreme Court justices to sell their decisions to the highest anonymous bidders (looking directly at Alito and Thomas here - curious which other Republicans were playing those silent games to enrich themselves at OUR expense to keep propping up billionaires in America).

We're too busy NOT investigating and indicting and prosecuting the treasonous criminals who tried to overthrow the legitimate votes of over 80 million people in America who voted - primarily against the Trump crime spree. Our 'new' DOJ stalled on even initiating a cursory investigation of the Trumplets - cuz they didn't want to upset them? What about the 80 plus million people you're failing to support, motherfuckers!

Do Your Jobs Better.

The infrastructure costs necessary to design and build the system would be immense and increasing every year - first to create everything - then to maintain everything.

The rails have to be elevated or underground - they cannot have grade crossings. They can't use any of the thousands of miles of existing rails - as they are built for handling heavy loads and not high speeds - plus you can't have high speed rail sharing the same tracks (most aren't contiguous ribbon rail, but even if they were) you'd still have to deal with freight traffic clogging up the tracks.

As a nation we can't even maintain our highways, bridges, tunnels and turnpikes for automobiles. We can't rebuild or bring up to date our 1960s era electrical transmission lines and towers and...

We do a shitty job with maintaining and protecting our current infrastructure (which could use a couple dollar capital investment, also).

You'd have to plot out new paths for the tracks which need to anchored solidly to the ground. You'll need to traverse creeks, rivers (bays/gulfs) etc - which are also used for barge & tanker traffic. You'd have to acquire the right of way for all of these routes. That expense will be large also.

Might be cheaper to send a 1500 person colony to Mars and set up terraforming. Both would probably take as long to accomplish also.

Sorry to piss on everyone's Post Toasties.

Fani Willis has space in the indictment for 30 unnamed co-conspirators to plead guilty. If they choose to do so and avoid their trial. See pages 4 through 8. This could lead to some further backstabbing and 'snitching' to see who can still cut a deal and get leniency at their sentencing.

This thing is packed with information.

As of 9:00 pm tonight, Donald Trump has now officially been indicted for felony election interference in Atlanta, Georgia.

I smoked an extra bud in the bong just moments ago - celebrating these most recent indictments. My cat finally interrupted my glee and she told me to go inside and check LushStories.

A year and a half ago, Marge the Barge claimed jewish space lasers were responsible for the California wildfires. Did she not? That DEW remark caused uproar for the antisemitism inherent in her remarks, not because of the absurdity of the American government targeting it's own citizens with direct energy weapons.

Everything these jokers claim is horrendous, is a purposeful, multi-layered conspiracy being enacted by The DEEP State. The murky, unknown - THEM. They say this shit, because it vibes with their base of unoriginal thinking mouth breathers.

I also find it interesting that you dug up a thread that hasn't been active in nearly a month (with no prior contributions from you) just to post this instance of fraud in a transparent attempt to discredit systemic racism as a problem. It’d be different if you made any other attempt to engage in the conversation, but no, it’s yet another manufactured “gotcha” moment because you still don’t know how to meaningfully engage in a conversation, especially one about something as serious as systemic racism.

This professor resigned in March of this year. The right winger sites were ALL OVER IT at the time. There are numerous articles from the usual MAGA locations all amplifying the desired message - Proof that systemic racism either does not exist or it's not as bad as it's being reported.

Not ironically, Ironic has scoured the internet for at least 5 months looking for this story to appear on a site like MSNBC, the liberal's kingdom. It helps to imply that even MSNBC - by dint of publishing some moron's opinion - because it's on MSNBC - it might make it more mainstream!

Thanks Ironic. You've really proved that systemic racism doesn't exist, isn't a problem at all and is largely a figment of non-caucasians minds.

There are literally dozens of 'whistle blowers' who have been active in the UFO community for 2 to 20 years whose credibility is above reproach.

This was a lazy rush to bring out 2nd hand information from a guy who probably was told some stuff, but didn't have evidence to show to the public (only those with security clearances get to see the good shit). He had a coupla sketchy instances in his personal life over the last 15 years, along with some suicidal thoughts.

Hardly the best step forward - bringing him to DC.

You tell me. Did millions who died a horrible death, bolster your arguments to avoid getting vaccinated or boostered?

Or, did the actual scope of a conspiracy to alter our DNA by the US Government necessary to pull off - was such an obvious lie meant to prevent a wave of MAGA from accepting free vaccines?

Or do you practice Republican Health Care and just can't afford health insurance, so you simply don't get sick. If you do, you tough it out, cuz.... Immune System!

I see the first amendment violations, the words practically blare off the page. But I can overlook some loss of free speech if it assists people with saving their lives, and not walking around spreading the virus with every sneeze and cough - to unsuspecting (unvaccinated and vaccinated) people on the daily.

I personally think we should have arrested you people who refused to wear masks, refused to get vaccinated and walked around spreading disease and death everywhere you coughed, spit a little when talking, sneezed or touched someone after you'd picked your nose or rubbed your eyes.

I also hate censorship - but I can balance the bad with the probable good, if censoring bad information is bad... lock me up.

I've seen that movie. Gary Oldman wanted the last King James bible, couldn't read himself, but he wanted that all powerful book to lend credence to his infallability.

A blind Denzel Washington kicked ass like a ninja and changed attitudes and had memorized the entire bible he was suspected of also carrying.

Cannibals get shaky hands when they eat too much human flesh - that's one take away I grabbed from the flick. Oh, there was a huge printing press located at Alcatraz Island where the religious order was attempting to replicate books and the bible to assist with all those who knew how to read, after the world had fried to a crisp and all hope smashed.

Quote by ElCoco

The FBI and other agencies have acted as enforcers, suppressing dissent from the administration line, whatever that might be at the moment. The greatest effort appears to have gone into stopping the posts of or shadow banning people who didn’t buy into the COVID vaccination programs.

How many thousands might have been saved - had they not listen to Trump and his crew of numbskulls during the first year of Covid-19? Instead, they were drinking lysol, injecting bleach, submitting to red-light 'tanning sessions' or eating an anti-parasitic equine medicine.

And dying, in waves. Especially those people who practiced all the alternative homeopathy which was being spread on Facebook, across Twitter - over at Alex Jones' Sky-Is-Falling website - all the usual outlets for cray cray to emerge.

We may never know the true count of people who didn't have to die, but did...Thanks to what they heard or someone influential (a parent) who refused to get actual treatment in the form of a vacccination for their children because they heard it was all a deep state plot to alter our FUCKING DNA and turn us into sheeple.

Quote by ElCoco

"You people"? Really? What do you mean by that? Are you lumping together everybody who doesn't think what Musk said is "actual fake news"?

.

"you prop up to support"? Who am I supporting?

.

"Ya'll treat him with such reverence"? I've never had anything to say about Elon Musk. All I did was remind you that there hasn't been time for anything to happen since that racist woman got fired and for Musk to support her freedom of speech or condemn her racist speech.

If you really didn't care about him, you wouldn't rant about him.

Hey! Are you also Sit_down_Boofhead on Youtube? Luv the screen name.

I dare anyone to watch more than 5 minutes of this boisterous bullshit. I could only last 90 seconds before sensing my brains draining out my ears.

This is just one malcontent, imagine how many morons are out there spewing this cultist BS. I've never heard of him, but he has 216,000 subscribers!

I'm thinking that some of those 'reporters' and Senators now have some egg to wipe off their faces.

Nobody bothered to vet the stated qualifications nor any of his publicly available information (in this case, his legal issues - which didn't require any mysterious deep state agency to 'release his private medical records'.

I got the sense, by listening to Grusch when he first appeared everywhere, spouting off about what he 'heard' and didn't visually or physically witness. He comes off as a 'know it all' and appears to be rather excessively proud of himself as he speaks.

But the main point is - nobody released anyone's private medical records to try to sabotage the witnesses character. It was information readily available for anyone who might actually bother to spend 20 minutes searching databases on the internet. Admitting you have a drinking problem, and apparently also a suicide complex might not reflect well upon anything else he has to say about anything. Dude has a fairly recent track record of sketchy behavior.

Wouldn't that depend on what was said?

Absolutely.

What you might consider a threat, another person might laugh off, ignore or - punch you right in your voice box a handful of times until you were severely incapacitated.

Now you want a definition of incapacitated, too?

Do I need to define all the words I use in various statements?

Why can't I just assume that you are like oh, say 100 million other people on this planet and you recognize a threat when you read or hear one?

Have you ever felt threatened or intimidated online - anywhere? Have you ever been doxed and your privacy invaded and then endured online threats and bald faced lies. Has anyone libeled and slandered you with bullshit and lies designed to place a target on your personal self - and thus open to physical attack from the foamed up followers of rabble rousers or cultists who you feel wish you harm?

It always depends on more than just words and definitions.

When does a spoken/verbal/captured - on video - or online - type/written threat - step over the line from protected free speech - to something worth investigating, indicting, arresting, prosecuting and sentencing?

Garland escalates and appoints a Special Counsel to lead official DOJ investigation of the GQP allegations against the Bidens.

https://www.rawstory.com/hunter-biden-2663353288/

Something I've been hoping for, for the last few months. An actual investigation untainted by GQP rumors, Jordan and Comer accusations which have yet to produce anything substantially illegal between son and father (the real target). What do you think this special counselor will find?

After this Biden probe wraps up in September/October 2024, maybe we can get a Special Counsel investigation of Jared Kushner and his sweetheart $2,000,000,000 startup money 'loan/grant/gift/grift' from the Murderous Sheik - MDS. Might be wise to investigate the former Treasury Secretary - Steve MeNoChin - he somehow scored $1 billion from MDS too.

There's a whole lot of there - there.

Why doesn't someone bring up 'noodling'?

It's catfishing without a pole, hook & line. Just using your arm and hand.

That can be a lot of fun. Right up until it isn't. Huge catfish aren't the only critters residing in some of those riverbank holes.

Trump's former Chief Strategist, aka - The Slob - is scared. He's no dummy and he can read the tea leaves even though the rest of MAGAworld are illiterate flunkoids.

The GQP outlawing abortion and treating women as 2nd class citizens (just like in them good old days) will be the clarion call in November 2024. Biden might rack up 100 million votes.

I'm pulling for a frothy mouthed, spittle laced, full blown cardiac arrest when it comes time for Trump to call and concede, the kind where you can see that main vein in his forehead, pulsing rapidly before his eyes roll backward into his braincase.

I can't stand that this treasonous motherfucker has secret service protection for life and he gets to drag down almost $500k a year til he departs this world for hell.

https://www.rawstory.com/steve-bannon-abortion/ (the attached 2 minute video brought a grin to my face.

Trump was manhandled and goatfucked in the 2020 election by over 80 million Americans fed up with his daily chaos, money raking grifts and ultimately his treasonous behaviour to steal the properly cured election from Biden and the 80+Million people who labored in many states and localities against Republican gerrymandering, polling place closures and outright intimidation and fraudulent criminal enterprises (manned by GQP candidates and incumbents), to cast their votes against authoritarianism.

MAGA and their media supporters seem to think that the electorate will have changed greatly over the course of 4 years and Trump will route Biden out of office. They like to throw graphics at us through our tv screens which purport to show how vastly outnumbered Democrats and Independents and old school Republicans are compared to the hate-fueled crowd of reprobates who are openly calling for civil war and busily planning their next executions.

MAGA does not outnumber the rest of us. And it will be a cold day in hell when they ever do outnumber us again.

Quote by Icarus4

For a nation as well as a society to be healthy all citizens must permit an opportunity for each citizen to express their opinions. Unfortunately dissent today turns to violent personal attacks and all sense of toleration has jeopardized our democracy. What a pathetic state of affairs we have created.

Check out what's going on with the 'moral majority' of Christian radicalists in this country since Trump hit the scene on his escalator.

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-evangelicals-2663078391/

Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore revealed this week that many evangelical pastors have become alarmed that their Trump-loving congregants have become so militant that they are even rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ.

In an interview with NPR, Moore said that multiple pastors had told him disturbing stories about their congregants being upset when they read from the famous "Sermon on the Mount" in which Christ espoused the principles of forgiveness and mercy as central to Christian doctrine.

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — 'turn the other cheek' — [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore revealed. "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ,' the response would not be, 'I apologize.' The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak.'"

Moore, who has been an outspoken critic of many evangelicals' embrace of Trump, argues that this has led him to conclude that American evangelical Christianity is now in crisis.

"When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis," he said.

"The roots of the political problem really come down to disconnection, loneliness, sense of alienation," he said. "Even in churches that are still healthy and functioning, regular churchgoing is not what it was a generation ago, in which the entire structure of the week was defined by the community."

Democrats, Independents and old school Republicans are holding Trump accountable, not due to any plots - due to the pursuit of justice against people who tried to overthrow our American federal government.

Trump complains about how he's being beseiged by political rivals using the justice department (in ways Trump tried to use the justice department) when in fact, the Dept of Justice - as managed by Merrick Garland - refused to initiate any investigations into Trump's role as it pertains to the insurrection and attempt to defraud Americans of their legitimate votes.

Quit committing crimes, then motherfucker. It's about 30 years past time, this prick should've been convicted of any of his many fraudulent schemes he's been a part of for his entire adult life.

Thankfully Pelosi formed up the Jan 6 committee and their discovered evidence as shown during national broadcasts finally pushed the spineless Dept of Justice to act.

How does this story actually impact anyone other than Musk? He made a Trumpian off the cuff remark - finds himself now in a position to man up or catch hell (and he doesn't care about catching hell - that more free pub in his eyes).

For you slower members of the GQP suicide squad: My main issue is the bullshit spewed by Cervix with the subject line of his original post. Musk isn't walking any walk. That is the 2nd time I've stated it.

The content is lifted straight from a Twitter post within a GQP fever dream culture war issue. Who gives a flying fuck about any of this extraneous bullshit?

You GQP freaks do, that's who. You've been creating false equivalences and setting up a full banquet of tableware while serving up wet farts that could fit in your shirt pocket - trying to stir the pot and Win Against The Libs!

Another smoke show.

He doesn't win 'em all. So there's some slim hope here that Trump can stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone & not lose any voter support.

He's also been accused of only prosecuting Republicans (so, he's also a bulldog demoncrap who is the personal lapdog of the shadow government puppet master who really pull the strings - GEORGE SOROS)

Ya'll should be kissing Merrick Garland's asshole like you've been making out with Trump's anus since you first heard him bellow: 'YOU'RE FIRED' on your tv sets and thought to yourselves "We need a lying fake paper billionaire who never pays his own freight, leading our country back to the glory days immediately after WWII."

Garland and his top directors at the DOJ - kicked the can down the road of even investigating the events of January 6th, 2021 - for over a year - cuz he didn't want to upset the apple carts of 70 million morons who all yearn for excuses to start a 2nd Civil War (while ignoring the desires of the 80 million people who successfully FIRED that motherfucker in November of 2020).

Garland's dawdling and hemming and hawing allowed the US Secret Service the time needed for them to clean up their communications DELETING all of it from every SS agent's government issued smartphone.

One would almost think he's on Trump's $pecial Ledger payroll (like Stormy Daniels and countless other whores).

Quote by ElCoco

Check out the time line between his offer and her firing.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? You people are so enamored by billionaires who happen to lean hard into the right side of the ledger. I am calling out Cervix for trumpeting his man-crush to the point of presenting more actual fake news.

I am not impressed with Musk, nor are thousands of people who have worked directly with him and adjacently with him and especially - for his companies, who find it difficult to suffer his eccentricities. Ya'll treat him with such reverence, the rest of us who watch the comments which emit from the Elon Admiration Society, hailing the greatness or the edginess of Musk - reminds many of the sycophantic bootlicking seen from the GQP over another human failure as a person.

We smirk or wince or otherwise laugh at the people you prop up to support. I'm a little upset that none of you GQPers have yet to try to run Mike Cernovich through the car wash of public opinion.

I could give a shit less about Musk's offer or some random firing, neither of which will ever impact my life positively nor negatively - he's just another control freak capitalist parasite (with a huge bank account).
