If he says he's running then I suspect all the others will step aside. Will someone like DeSantis still run? How can they tiptoe around him at that point? In 2016 they were saying everything about him that I say now. Even until election day they were at arm's length. Remember Ted Cruz's "Vote your conscience" at the convention? I can't see any of them backtracking now. Those that have stood up to him are not welcome in the party.

It's specifically called out in the clubhouse. it's not just a general "this is wrong so don't do it". It's unique in that regard. And Pete said "Ok, you got me. I agree on a permanent ban if you don't investigate further or announce anything that you have already found". Case closed.

In general I avoid lines with women or pick the one with the fewest. Could be cashier lanes, security lines…. They just take longer. Shoot me. 🤣

My wife’s uncle is one of two brothers of that generation of 11 siblings left. He’s in his early 80s. Entering that phase of falling and all that. Has 2 daughters here. We got a call from another cousin who was contacted by their aunt in california that she’s not heard from him in a few days. The 2 daughters are not vaccinated, they are in their early 60s. They’re like “well we can’t go check on him…” So now it’s up to the other cousins to look after him while his daughters are busy living their best life. And his sisters who all live in California are worried sick. It’s a weird thing where one of the sisters moved to california back in the early 60s and all the other sisters followed because her grandma moved there too after the grandpa died . The brothers all stayed in Michigan.

MLB’s actions against willie mays and Mickey mantle certainly look stupid now. I’m only 48 and already feel behind the times with crypto, NFT’s, gambling, and pot all being big only legal but mainstreamed. I’m not into any of it.

We don’t know where the new variant originated. South Africa is where it was first detected and sequenced because they are doing a great job at those things. Since we don’t know where they begin trying to assign a geographic name is ignorant and inaccurate.

I will point out that I have read that the problem with SA isn’t vaccine supply. They told the manufacturers to stop sending as they have too many. It’s vaccine resistance. Something like a 25% rate there. But I agree on travel bans. They don’t accomplish what the claim is. They are symbolic

There is no solution until more people choose to get vaccinated and boosted. doing the masks was helpful as we waited for everyone to get a vaccine. Supply. Prioritization. Eligibility. Those are all non factors now. Are we backsliding even? When does fully vaxxed mean 3 shots?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Didn't they watch The Wire?

Will the family be going to Mar A Lago? Probably the family of the killers will be going.

correct. There's also room for old fashioned ball busting between sides. But someone showing up with guns blazing with no prior history posting... that's a sign.

Why are there multiple charges for felony murder and aggravated assault per person?

this is why "race is always brought up"

But Sean Davis at the Federalist said...

We heard more about Kathy Griffin's joke about killing Trump than we did about Paul Gosar's joke about killing AOC. One's a comedian. One's a member of congress.

Washington Free Beacon did a 'major investigation' (their words) and discovered that Kamala Harris bought a $375 pan in Europe and spent... $600 in total on dishes. Good work there.

Liz Cheney says hello

Trump wanted to learn his secrets. He liked that bit about shooting people you suspect of being traitors.

Let's Go Brandon

People are mad at Chris Pratt. He's in the Mario movie but I guess not doing an accent. He also goes to church. The pastor of that church has some weird views but it's a mega church. They are mad at him for that. He has a new wife that had a baby and he thanked her for giving him a healthy baby boy. People are mad at him for that because he has a special needs child with his previous wife/woman and they saw that as a slight. As a parent of a special needs child I feel comfortable saying that's not a slight. It's annoying when people on twitter go nuts against actors entertainers for not agreeing with their worldview 100% as if they are Kevin Spacey. It's especially annoying because if they only knew how many of their favorites are sympathetic to people like Roman Polanski or knew about Weinstein's actions and did nothing about it... Pratt's Avenger co stars though are having none of it. They support him. If he's ok with them he's ok with me. I don't know where the line is where you shouldn't let personal politics interfere with who you enjoy being entertained by but this aint it. These leftist purity tests are tiresome. They should be better than the idiots on the right who will do things like boycott a business because an owner gave money to a library that once hosted drag queen bingo (This is a real thing by the way. The funny enough the business was Chick Fil A. The Evangelicals were fighting among themselves)

I thought of him a few weeks ago. He split before the old forum went kaput I think.

every so often I come across things that remind me of why I used to identify a certain way politically. This is one of them. These are the kind of people that tell Mexicans they want to be called Latinx, right? "deeply"

Had no reaction other than fatigue to any of my 3 shots.
