Rush Limaugh was not dead in 2016. He's dead now. Has anybody really filled that gap? Not to mention Tucker at night on Fox. I envision apathetic people who just out of habit had Rush on the radio while riding around. He went away. They now listen to something or somebody else who isn't as much of a nutjob. Maybe they found music or a religious show or something. Same at night. Tucker was just always on. Now he's gone so they switched to something else.

Ha ha.... I got my latest covid booster on Friday, if you care. I can't remember if that's my 4th or 5th shot. Definitely remember getting the initial 2, then I got another one at Walgreen's like a year ago. I think there was another one in there. Need to dig out my vaccination card. Remember those???

I think there's validity to that. How much the pollsters adjust for that, who knows. Most people are busy living their lives and not thinking about this. We are unique in that we discuss this online. I'd say 99% of the voting population do not do that. We have so much to consume now in the way of entertainment that it overshadows our news gathering.

I thought he was going to be very good..... he looked powerful.

“Someone else” did it.

She was only trying to kill members or congress…. Not sell some loose cigs.

“It’s Gods will”. that’s their logic. They will invent some legal pretzel logic to fit the agenda but the core mission is based on that. Women to them serve one purpose, to birth children. If they can’t do that effectively then like Nazis they figure they are broken people and their lives are not worth saving or supporting.

“It reached up to 21 In May of 1970….”

Can I ask… what the **** are you talking about and what is your point? what does blackface and old Karl Malone jokes have to do with this? Because he made jokes that have now aged poorly in hindsight then people can call him a pedophile today ? That makes no sense. Megyn Kelly? Are we just randomly throwing out peoples names now?

I've had family members ask me that too. They "heard" there's certain sections cops won't go in. I told them to stick a shawarma up their ass

it's always fascinating when people want to find the line to when it's ok to be a jerk or not. "This guy is a thief" "Hey, don't say that about him. That's not cool" "Why not? He once made fun of somebody for thinking the earth was flat." "Yeah but that's not the same thing as accusing someone of a crime" "Yeah but his friends made a joke about stealing something, same thing, right?"

I guess I just think pedophilia is a very bad thing and you think it's no big deal. My mistake.

that guy never lifted anything over 10 pounds in his life. He's never so much as dug a hole.

Does he get paid to accuse people of being pedophiles?

"Yeah I know that person was driving drunk but you were driving 55 in a 45 zone" MTG is a huge flamethrower of toxic vitriol and downright meanness towards people. Kimmell didn't suggest anybody punch her. He's a comedian doing jokes on a the comedy portion of his comedy show where jokes are told. That is not even in the same ****ing ballpark as an NFL quarterback talking about current events on TV and suggesting out of the blue that someone is going to be named on a list of pedophiles. Why are you so concerned about him being able to do that?

yes. that phrase is a huge peeve of mine. Blaming others for your lack of ability to draw in employees, as if you are entitled to a work force. Employees have options now. Employers have to fight for them like they do customers. There's people who want to work. They just don't want to work for you. Look in the mirror.

Which country is closest to you depending on where you are in the US.

Still a different thing. AAron went on national TV and suggested Kimmel was a pedophile over real world events, real victims, etc. Not just a general statement or, sorry... "joke". Rodgers has not said it was a joke or apologized. This whataboutism thing is really tiring and intellectually lazy and lame. I mean seriously.... what is your motive in defending someone accusing someone else of being a pedophile? Why do you care? It's like when white people get mad that blacks can say the N word but they can't. Why do you want to say it? Why does it bother you? Do you have a personal interest in this? Is AAron your cousin or lover?

there's a difference between making jokes about covid and making jokes about someone being a pedophile. Come on.

It was a "****, my boss is also his boss" kind of moment for him.

Rome was peak listening for me. I didn't get him until my very first business trip, I had to drive to Ohio, so I had that on. I listened regularly for about 10 years. He moved networks or something so I couldn't get the reception or something.... and I haven't listened to the radio much in the last 10 years or so since Satellite and Apple Music and podcasts, etc. But I loved his bits. "Softball guy" "The Latrine of Death". Sergio Garciaparra.

I've noticed places that have the "automatic 18%" surcharge.... tend to have a lot of clientele that for whatever reason, culturally do not tip. I was alerted to this in the mid 90's when I ran into a friend, from that culture, at a restaurant while she was working. She sat down after her shift with us and lamented a table near us of that same culture. She said the server staff would fight over who had to get stuck with the tables from that culture. That stuck with me. Three times within the last 6 months I saw those signs... looked around... and drew that conclusion. I get it. If the stafff doesn't get paid then the go somewhere else and there's no business..

I mean... you can literally see the landing sites from Earth with the right equipment. You can see the descent engines, the lunar rovers.... At what point do the moon deniers think chicanery took over? You had thousands of people in Alabama building the Saturn V. Designers, engineers, assembly. You had NASA, North American Aviation in CA, Grummann on Long Island building the spacecrafts..... along with dozens of subcontractors. You had about a million people who watched the launches in FL. You had a network of tracking ships all over the world as they orbited the Earth. Then they executed the TLI burn to head towards the moon so they could fall into their gravitational pull. If that didn't happen, where did it go? There was the ability to track an orbiting spacecraft so if it didn't go to the moon, where? If it stayed in Earth Orbit people would have noticed. If it left Earth Orbit how did it come back without going to the moon? You can'tjust turn around and come back. It's not like driving a car.

this goes along with the earlier discussion about young people and beliefs based on the internet. It's not real but could be.

and what's shameful about that list is we are talking about rape. Rape of young girls. By high powered men. Systematic. They turn it into cheap punchlines. Someone on twitter pointed out that in spite of what we know, the only person in jail is a woman. Granted, she deserves every punishment possible given to her and probably more. That NPA agreement signed in 2007 by Acosta on behalf of the US government needs to be dealt with and investigated. But who investigates?
