Fear And Hate: Live From Uzbekistan
A most curious thing happened a couple days ago when Elon Musk had the location feature of Twitter turned on so that everyone could see - for a time anyway - where everyone else was posting from. As you are likely aware, there has always been a suspicion that the vast majority of far-right accounts which do much of the agitation in the United States are not, in fact, in the United States, and we assume, in part, because of the discovery of various bot farms in various parts of the world over the years, all of which run various influence operations trying to bring about fascism in various places.

If only Ken Russell were alive to direct another attempt at the Caddyshack films. We could make it grand, perhaps funny, but seriously warped.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

"Sorry, I can't possibly hear you for all this Christmas. You'll need to speak up."
Every Christmas song is like "It's Christmas holy shit it's Christmas, everybody shut up Christmas is here." Yeah we know pal.

Actually, the end result of realignment in various conferences has created some morbidly funny scenarios.
Just a thought.
Just a thought.
The idea that the highest-ranked team in a Power 4 conference (Miami) can miss the ACC title game and the CFP is embarrassing for the sport.
Conference realignment messed up everything by making these leagues way too big.

Yeah, that's basically the attitude they should have always had, the "we do this no matter the screams that emanate from the other room" attitude

One of the reasons I would never engage in an any sort of argument on Twitter or Facebook is the lack of assurance that I am talking to a real person. Especially on Facebook, the few people I follow are people I actually know or have known over the years. Even so, arguments must be had in person.

Q: You're not worried that Witkoff is too pro-Russian?
TRUMP: Look, ahh -- this war could go on for years. Russia has got a lot more people. A lot more soldiers. So I think if Ukraine can make a deal it's a good thing.

The Oversight Committee needs to subpoena them yesterday
BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

I think this is the tell for the people who really walked into the ultimate trap first set by Rush et al in the 90s - the idea that this was a team sport, that you protect the team, even when the team has some shitty people on it. They see through that lens. In the real world, it's just not true.
What republicans and maga fail to realize is, we dont give a flying F who is in the Epstein files, dems repubs wealthy poor... they ALL need to be held accountable and the victims deserve justice. PERIOD.

OK, so I eat reasonably healthy, work out, walk anywhere from 4-6 miles total daily, and I haven't had a drink in over five years now and nary a cigarette in almost 15 years.
And I still have cardiovascular problems (granted, I am the cause of some of it).
Does that mean no insurance to them?

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

One of the drawbacks to living in a very insular world as people like Doug Ford do is that you eventually cannot conceive of a reason someone would legitimately disagree with you because you've created that bubble. Unfortunately, such bubbles tend to make the person inside it look like a dick.

Pamela Jo has until December 20th to release the Epstein files. She must include explanations for everything she redacts or withholds.
