Now that Modelo’s toped Bud Light in sales for the second month in a row, the boycott seems to be lasting.

I am surrounded by Trump voting rednecks in purple Missouri and none of them drink Bud Light.

Too fucking expensive for the 30 packs. They also gotta buy chew or smokes and hold back enough for that 500mg choco cannabis bar.

These halfwits will drink anything that's 30% less expensive and 50% of them have NEVER put a light beer to their lips. In their eyes, a real man would never emasculate himself like that.

Could be they are too broken down and out, physically to perform sexually. Can't get the old wood to move of it's own accord anymore. In order to gain similar orgasmic thrills - creating new online personnas and going catfishing - daily - is the best alternative they can think up with those GQP diseased brains.

But here at Lush, our perpetrator also proclaims he's one of those males who calls himself a Master. With his imaginary harem of subordinates all doing his bidding in his 'real life' as well as his 'alternate reality life'.

This person deserves more sympathy and pity than usual.

He's an asshole, but he's OUR Lush asshole!

That could be the answer for his appeal and magnetism?

A charismatic Master Bottom... I'd imagine that's rather difficult to pull off successfully.

Your post makes it sound far more entertaining than it will actually be.🤣

I'd probably tune in every evening that show was on LIVE. But Trump would have to be the banana republic dictator of some South American country.

Putin could install him as the new premiere of FuckedUpIstan and I'd watch that too.

Is that a promise?

Yes, I have read what Mr. Mueller had to say.

Were you able to follow what Mr. Taibbi what had to say? Did you try?

I quit reading Matt Taibbi about 8 years ago when he went nuclear at The Intercept because he couldn't get the real job he wanted (backed by the American equivalent of an oligarch). Taibbi likes to create controversy and he doesn't mind what tactic he uses to do so.

I also quit reading Glenn Greenwald - for many of the same reasons.

They are discounted hacks who have zilch to inform me about.

Hey, did you catch how groovy the relationship is now between Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi? At one time, Matt was Elon's pet Scoop Reporter - when he could troll through Twitter executive account emails to produce the facts which suited Musk best.

Matt used to yell truth to power - but the last time he said anything original, scalding and point-on - was when he was working with Occupy Wall Street in 2011.

He's last decade's news. Along with Trump.

Have you bothered or attempted to read the unredacted copy of The Mueller Report yet?

Only a few will read that document.

You've only had 36 months to do so. The version which Bill Barr didn't wipe out with a black felt tip pen.

One more time for all of you self professed democrats and the rest of whatever you are.

Many conservatives today are dumb because their parents and grandparents have been trying very hard and quite successfully - to shield their precious children from the horrors of yesteryear, in Junior High School and High School - the public school system has been getting attacked & hammered for 40 years.

Example #1: Ashamed to be Caucasian! https://www.rawstory.com/chapin-high-school-chapin-south-carolina/

A South Carolina school district halted classroom discussion of a book about racism after white students complained it made them "uncomfortable", The State reported.

Chapin High School students were scheduled to read Ta-Nehisi Coates' 2015 memoir “Between the World and Me.” According to the lesson plan released by teacher Mary Wood, students were asked to describe Coates’ "primary statement regarding identity and your position about his argument,” and to describe their "understanding of systemic racism,” and if why or why don't they think "racism is a pervasive problem in America."

But the project was cut short after some students expressed discomfort with two short videos, “The Unequal Opportunity Race” and “Systemic Racism Explained," that were played in class to prepare students for the book.

“Hearing (Wood’s) opinion and watching these videos made me feel uncomfortable,” one unidentified student wrote to a school board member. “I actually felt ashamed to be Caucasian... These videos portrayed an inaccurate description of life from past centuries that she is trying to resurface. I don’t feel as though it is right because these videos showed antiquated history. I understand in AP Lang, we are learning to develop an argument and have evidence to support it, yet this topic is too heavy to discuss.”

“I was incredibly uncomfortable throughout both videos, and was in shock that she would do something illegal like that,” another student wrote, adding, “I am pretty sure a teacher talking about systemic racism is illegal in South Carolina.”

As The State points out, South Carolina lawmakers passed a bill meant to combat "critical race theory" in the state's schools.

In a letter to district Superintendent Akil Ross and the school board, Wood defended the lesson plan, saying that "participation in this course depends on a level of maturity consistent with the age of high school students who have engaged in thoughtful analyses of a variety of texts."

A shit ton of Revenge

More ongoing Crimes emanating from Trump and his clan of grifters.

Loss of stability and security - nonstop chaos.

The same operators will be coming back to the Oval Office and their zeal will not be suppressed after learning the ropes during Trump's first term.

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-military-2662263102/

Trump should have started with taking over the Pentagon in 2017. He used it as best he could this time, with General Michael Flynn's brother in charge of determining whether to send in the National Guard during the attempted coup de tat.

This time, Trump will eviscerate the Pentagon first and get that powerful military to focus their sights inward at the vast Left leaning snowflakes which need to be locked up or, just mowed over.

And then let's give those same people from wherever this horseshit poll was targeted toward - some actual truth to offset the bullshit and manufactured lies about Hunter Biden - while painting his father as The Big Guy - and both of the Biden's being nothing more than conjured up bribe issuing embezzlers.

We have actual history to watch - Trump playing with Ukraine like a cat plays with its stringed toys. All the 'damage' caused to the Biden's by the Trumplets with their wholly created fictions.

[ Israeli Gal Luft claimed to have evidence against President Joe Biden and his son in a bribery scheme with China that Republicans have jumped on. But as it turns out, the Justice Department indicted him for being an unregistered foreign agent, trafficking in arms, violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, and making false statements to federal agents. ]

The same puppet-masters who created the January 6th fake electors schemes also created the stolen/abandoned Hunter Biden laptop stories - hoping something they claimed would stick to Joe Biden.

When the shit starts hitting the fan...the prosecution of all of the fake electors from all those 'swing states' is going to be remembered as the scheme which doomed the Jan 6th conspirators.

Former Trump campaign official is now cooperating with Jack Smith's investigations into election interference

The self-proclaimed enemy of “the radical left” and all things woke who heads Oklahoma’s public schools has proven his ignorance anew by declaring that race was not a factor in the Tulsa Race Massacre.

As Oklahoma schools have been required by law to teach since 2002, the massacre was a 1921 paroxysm of racist violence in which white mobs killed as many as 300 Black residents and burned some 1,600 homes and businesses in what was known as Black Wall Street.

Those facts seem to have been lost on Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters.

“Let’s not tie it to the skin color and say the skin color determined that,” Walters told a public forum hosted by the Cleveland County Republicans in the Oklahoma Room at the main library in Norman this week.

Walters’ preposterous statement came during a Q & A session in which he was asked how teaching about the massacre did not violate a prohibition he instituted against teaching what he defines as critical race theory.

“That doesn’t mean you don’t judge the actions of individuals,” he continued. “Oh, you can, absolutely. Historically you should. This was right, this was wrong. They did this for this reason.”

But in his willfully warped view, the reason cannot include race.

“That is critical race theory,” he said. “I reject that.”

Last week, Walters was in Philadelphia to address a gathering of the far-right Moms for Liberty, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has branded an extremist group. He spoke much the same nuttiness there as he did at the library in Norman.

Outside the library were several dozen protesters. Somebody inside played a laugh track with a cellphone as Walters spoke.

Those in attendance included Samuel Perry, a prominent sociology professor at the University of Oklahoma. He tweeted afterwards about hearing Walters say that the Tulsa Race Massacre was not about the color of anyone’s skin.

“My wife (a teacher) and I attended this event tonight,” Perry reported. “This was just the tip of the iceberg of idiocy Walters spewed. Driving home we felt so angry and embarrassed we live in a state where people elected this ignorant and incompetent clown.”

That entire document is a laundry list of butt hurt and whinging. Again, control freaks like these people AND those backing them up - wish to control what private companies do with their websites.

I see the organizers of The Great Barrington Declaration didn't bother to create their own website until October of 2022. If it was so important to them to spread their bullshit [ They are proponents of Herd Immunity ] - why did they wait two years to purchase a domain name and then develop a website where they can definitely control the content being spewed from it.

An actual judge, practicing real jurisprudence would've have tossed this horseshit into the ditch where it belongs.

As we are all aware, I did not post what you have "quoted".

My apologies, Chrysis, for your not being quick enough on the uptake.

When you track down the source(s) - it's always Republican in nature. Always hoping some of their fiction sticks against a wall so they can point to this or that new/bad/trend which the Democrats can be blamed for. Here's a GQP adherent - trying out some new material - he claims he was only supporting those angry patriots on January 6, 2021 with his fist bump photo - although many of us saw him dashing off as fast as he could run with his tattered dignity trailing only his shadow.

On the Fourth of July, Sen. Josh Hawley tweeted a quote he attributed to Patrick Henry. The quote argues that America "was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians."

But it didn't come from Henry — it comes from a segregationist newspaper in Virginia in 1956.

It's from the GQP playbook. Make shit up, then claim it as fact or 'spin' it as a new trend to stomp out before it can do more damage to our culture and society.

All Americans will rejoice now that they can't be turned away from Liberty University simply because they are athiests or believe in their own deity of their own choosing. Can't wait to read about the hundreds of new university students flooding Lynchburg over the next decade.

Thank you Supreme Court.

Hmmm, Mike Pence is even now - supporting Biden. That can't make some of you very happy.

https://www.rawstory.com/mike-pence-ukraine/

“So I’m a guy who believes in that old Reagan doctrine,” Pence said.

“If you’re willing to fight the enemies of the United States on your soil, we’ll give you the means to fight them there so our men and women in uniform don’t have to fight them. And I’m going to continue to be a voice for that in this campaign and all across this country.”

The former vice president, who last week made a surprise visit to Ukraine and has broken with some in his party over his support for U.S. aid for the Eastern European nation, raised the possibility of American troops fighting Russia during an appearance on the conservative Hugh Hewitt Show.

He said he views Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “evil,” and said it’s in America’s vital interests to stop the Russian leader from advancing deeper into Europe.

He said during his visit to Ukraine he visited the city of Bucha, the site of some of worst atrocities Europe has seen since World War II at the hands of Putin’s troops, who according to some accounts opened fire on hundreds of civilians including women and children.

Check with me on November 6, 2024 as to how badly Biden's lost support from those who voted for him rather than more Trump - in 2020.

We've had to endure two economic comebacks in the last 14 years... the GOP / Bush market crash of 2008 which threatened the worlds biggest depression - guided out of that wilderness by Obama and the Democrats and more recently the Ttrump recession of 2018-2020 - thanks to that multiple dollar tax cut the GQP rammed through congress in December 2017.

Democrats are always bailing the country out of trouble caused by GQP. Then they get lambasted by the same GQP for not doing more for the country.

This would've been informative to know back in 2018...

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mercenary-force-like-putins

There were several options given to Trump, but the one that he crafted himself was to privatize the war with Trump's own mercenary force.

Instead of Putin's Wagner Group, it would be Erik Prince's Blackwater, which offers troops for hire.

"I explained that this was a horrible idea for many reasons, not least of which was that a Trump-controlled mercenary group would circumvent public scrutiny, erode checks and balances around the use of force, and undermine confidence in the American military," said Taylor. "But it wasn’t a mere whim. News of the discussions leaked that top White House advisors had apparently consulted with Erik Prince directly."

He went on to say that there was a "thick briefing memo" that Trump got and it far "exceeded the man's attention span." Taylor feared it increased the likelihood that Trump would go with the mercenaries.

He was forced to take the 50-to-60--page book and put it into one or two pages "in the president's voice" so he could understand it.

People just want the same benefits which Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had at his disposal when he applied to and attended Yale law school. Thomas, in the past, acknowledged that he benefited from Affirmative Action.

But he gives zero fucks about AA - AFTER he gained his education and then - several steps of assistance up to his lifelong installation as Chief Obstructionist of the Supreme Court.

Biden could've ended all of this horseshit in 1991 if he had just accepted Anita Hill's accusations instead of slut shaming her in front of America while defending this pompous piece of shit.

Quote by Chryses

Would it be fair to say that while you agree about the conjectured "pattern" referred to, you too are unable to predict when it may be expected?

It's happening now, has been occurring all of your life and if the pattern jumped up into your lap and licked your nose - you still wouldn't be aware. Just keep being obtuse and vague..that's a winning look for you.

Quote by Chryses

When do you think this pattern of yours will be on display?

If you were ever part of a minority class based upon the shade of your skin tone in America for all of your life - you'd know when this pattern displays itself - you'd feel it and see it and experience its presence - every single day you woke up.

But since you appear to have zero level empathy reserves, I don't expect these words to ping pong around in your brain or affect your outlook going forward.

We must wait for attrition to claim your ilk. Nobody lives forever.

Affirmative Action is just another of a long list of WRONGS which the 70 million MAGA voters from 2020 NEED to get changed/repealed/rolled back - in order for them to not feel like the world is closing in on them and their precious white privilege.

Wiping out abortion just happened to be on their honey-do list also. Along with gerrymandering and assorted other ratfucking schemes initiated by the GQP.

When you vote Republican, you're voting against progress and equality for all human beings in the USA and strictly voting for progress for yourself at the expense of minorities - who have been on the receiving end of systemic racism in this country for over 300 years.

Lois Banner reportedly said that if she were Black, her professional life would have been easier.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-professor-lois-banner-disgusts-berkshire-conference-on-women-historians

A conference for female historians this weekend was plunged into turmoil when a prominent white academic speaking at the main event said her professional life would have been easier if she were black.

She was identified by attendees of the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians, on social media and in an interview, as USC professor emerita of history Lois Banner, who co-founded the biennial event in the 1970s.

Banner—author of a 2012 biography of Marilyn Monroe—reportedly also said she wished she was a lesbian because they were good at building community and organizing. She did not respond to a request for comment.

Alito and Thomas have proven they are On The Take and For Sale - cheap. Anthony Kennedy has proven he's a bootlicker, working in concert with the GQP to place yet another NEW & Improved justice on the bench.

While it was against normal operating procedure according to McConnell - to appoint a new Supreme Justice - when Obama submitted Garland's name to replace the deceased motherfucker who died on his vacation - then just a few years later when the same scenario appeared with the death of Ginsburg - suddenly - the same hold on nominees to the bench - was ignored by the GQP controlled Senate so they could install Coney Barrett in her former seat.

The GQP has successfully hijacked the Supreme Court with politically minded operatives. Biden needs to add another 5 justices to the court and reverse this fucking scheme employed by the Republicans.

Feels so good to turn the clock back to the 1950s. Thanks MAGA.

To replace the previous thread which was vaporized when the Think Tank was being reimagined. The war which 98% of the world believed would be over within weeks, since we were told by Putin that Russia had the most powerful armed forces in the world (and few actually knew what Russia's capabilities were).

At this point, Ukraine has fought back valiantly. NATO partners have finally activated with some assistance, disregarding Putin's verbal threats to use nuclear weapons as he saw fit.

“There’s a lot of really dumb-ass volunteers over here who have no business being in a war.”

“This is my third war I’ve fought in, and this is by far the worst one,” Offenbecker told The Daily Beast. “You’re getting fucking smashed with artillery, tanks. Last week I had a plane drop a bomb next to us, like 300 meters away. It’s horrifying shit.”

Once he was there, some of his buddies from the military started messaging him asking for information on how to join up, too. But he ignored messages for months.

“To be honest it was pretty bad so I didn’t want to bring anyone else into it,” he said.

The missions were grueling, Bramlette said. In Iraq or Afghanistan, Bramlette had air support, or supporting ISR, or intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. “The worst day in Afghanistan and Iraq is a great day in Ukraine,” he said. “Even when we thought it wasn’t, we were always in control of the situation… versus as a commander of a team in Ukraine,” where there are more unknowns.

On reconnaissance missions in Ukraine, you just have to wait until the team members come back, since comms aren’t reliable. “I would always send a reconnaissance element out first… as soon as those guys leave my side, I’m not gonna really hear from them until they’re back within eyesight. And that may be 24 hours later, maybe 48 hours later,” he explained. “If two of them get injured… there’s no helicopter coming to get you… shit can go south really, really frickin’ quickly. And that’s the kind of stuff that is pretty hard.”

Less than 25 pounds per square inch of external pressure is being simulated in a demonstration to show people what happens to tankers manufactured by this company. These aren't going anywhere near water and are not designed for use at depths of water or the increasing PSI ever experienced by submersibles.

This simply shows what a catastrophic implosion looks like. Google/Youtube's algorithm keeps feeding me videos of this nature (anything to do with implosions).

I shall preface this by stating: I give zero fucks about Hunter Biden (who I have never met, he's never held office, isn't working within this White House (unlike the 'Unpaid former First Daughter and her scum sucking husband' who managed to finagle a $2 billion 'loan' from the Saudis after his father-in-law had to be dragged out of the Oval Office)) and Hunter's overall behavior bothers me about as much as PennyCandy's behavior.

Everyone knows Hunter is the only in Joe Biden's armor which the GQP can pick at.

The GQP has invented the entire HUNTER BIDEN conspiracy, again, with absolutely no evidence to prove his guilt to all the illegalities which the GQP has attempted to paint him up with. I definitely believe the outlaw GQP is actively engaged in a number of conspiracies - as they attempt to regain absolute political power.

That's becoming quite evident. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/hunter-biden-attorney-says-whatsapp-message-cited-republicans-fake-rcna92065

An attorney for Hunter Biden says purported screenshots of a text message from Hunter Biden to a potential Chinese business partner where he refers to Joe Biden — a message that has been the subject of intense scrutiny following statements made by an IRS whistleblower — are “not real and contain myriad of issues.”

Lowell writes that the screenshots of the message as tweeted by Smith, “both include a photo of Mr. Biden not from 2017 but from the White House Easter Egg roll in April 2022 (long after the purported message was sent); both images portray the message in a blue bubble, when messages are in green; one image super-imposed the Chinese flag for the contact ID, when surely that was not how a text or contact was kept; and one purports to be a screenshot with the '. . .' of someone composing a text (as in Apple’s iMessage) when that does not happen on .”

He writes, “In short, the images you circulated online are complete fakes.”

Lowell’s letter takes issue with what he says are "self-styled IRS 'whistleblowers'" who he says are "claiming that title in an attempt to evade their own misconduct" and to "feed the misinformation campaign to harm our client, Hunter Biden, as a vehicle to attack his father."

Nuclear Hypocrisy -- https://www.rawstory.com/303-creative/

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday sided with a Christian web designer who refused to create websites for same-sex weddings – and legal experts are stunned.

The justices voted 6-3 in favor of Colorado web designer Lorie Smith, who argued that the First Amendment entitled her to a religious exemption from a state law prohibiting businesses from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. Justice Sonia Sotomayor called out the ruling as dangerous in her dissent.

"Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse to serve members of a protected class," Sotomayor wrote. "Our Constitution contains no right to refuse service to a disfavored group."

Smith and her attorneys from the right-wing Christian group Alliance Defending Freedom identified a prospective client named Stewart who inquired about a website for his same-sex wedding, but a man claiming to be that individual came forward and claimed he is, in fact, a straight, married father who never made that request.

“I’m married, I have a child — I’m not really sure where that came from?" the man told the New Republic. "But somebody’s using false information in a Supreme Court filing document."

Legal experts were appalled that a ruling of such importance to LGBTQ rights could be based on such flimsy evidence.

"Please recall that no same-sex couple has ever sought to engage Lorie Smith's business to create a wedding for their website; this case is built entirely on hypotheticals; there are essentially no facts," tweeted Mark Joseph Stern, a legal writer for Slate. "The decision's scope is ambiguous and uncertain."
