Came here to say the same thing. The tone of the debate is not going to improve with the bomb-throwing toddler onstage with the rest of the clown show.

It’s a cult. MAGAts need deprogramming, not negative ads.

And this particular group are not good guys, either.

I have Mount Char on my to read list, but Time War was a dnf for me. Just could not get into it.

What did you expect the fine people in his district to do, vote for the Democrat?

The market for erotic fiction is huge (think romance novels) and is primarily aimed at and consumed by women. I've always thought (and I think there are some studies to back it up) that women and men process sexual desire differently - visually for men vs cerebrally for women. Although I do think that as pornography has become more socially acceptable those differences may be less pronounced.

The only strategic thinking that McCarthy seems capable of is, "How can I keep my job today?"

He could have been more bipartisan, he could have made deals across the aisle, he could have reigned in some of the clownshow investigations his side of the aisle have been promoting. He might have been able to put together a centrist coalition that would have neutered the Freedumb Caucus. But McCarthy, like most Congressional Republicans, is incapable of complex thought.

And now he's stuck. If he makes a deal with the Democrats to avert a shutdown he loses his job. If there's an extended government shutdown a lot of Republicans are going to lose their jobs next year. Not to mention the pain a shutdown will cause to ordinary Americans (as if any Republican cared about that).

Yep, nothing but the best snake oil for the rubes. Republicans love their crooked businessmen.

Linda Ronstadt - What’s New (that will throw a few folks off the trail)

Not really, your tastes are very similar to mine. Although "What's New" was just a gateway drug and now my music library is full of albums by Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, Carmen McRae, Joao Gilberto, Frank Sinatra and more.

Now come on, she wasn't actually on her knees in the theater. Unless there's some unpublished photos out there (asking for a friend).

The entire Freedumb Caucus is still on board. The "shocking" revelation that Biden hasn't committed any impeachable acts isn't going to deter the GQP at all.

I just finished the book and thought it was better than the movie (although very different). I liked the cinematography and atmosphere of the movie, but it just moved too slowly for me.

Doing my bit to support the open web. Plus, while it's probably just familiarity, I've always felt that Firefox works with me while Chrome works against me.

The Grumman F7F Tigercat is a heavy fighter aircraft that served with the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from late in World War II until 1954. It was the first twin-engine fighter to be deployed by the USN. While the Tigercat was delivered too late to see combat in World War II, it saw action as a night fighter and attack aircraft during the Korean War.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engined heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Fast and high-flying for a bomber of its era, the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II.

I occasionally come across content in my feed that I think would be of interest to one of the small communities that I participate in. Think photo or article, not something personal. Is it appropriate for me to crosspost the content? Without asking the OP? What about if I ask but the OP never responds?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

 

No official announcement yet, but today's point release has gone live. I just updated 112 packages.
