    Today the first Brightline passenger train pulled into Orlando. Been watched the development of this privately operated and largely privately funded operation, it’s had a lot of opposition, and pedestrians and motorists not paying attention are not helping. In fact, the first train was delayed because another train hop it a pedestrian on the tracks near Delray Beach.

    The David Brooks $78 meal tweet just got better. Not only did EWR? The contractor that runs the place? Release that the $78 tab was for the $17 burger and fries and the THREE double whiskeys (side note of you’re having six shots while waiting for a flight…you might be needing a friend Bill W) the specific airport bar/lounge he was in is now doing a burger, fries, double shot deal for $17.78. Not every lounge at JFK just that one.

    why is it when conservatives NEED to make a point about ‘Bidenflation’ they gotta lie. (Side note the second, $10 a shot you gotta get to a dive bar above 125th to see that in Manhattan)

    See Dumbfuck and the price of eggs months after supermarket prices dropped to 10% above historical average and AFTER egg producers posted profits almost 80% above the prior year.

    $17 for a burger and fries near 10th and 41st? Fuggetaboutit.

    Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez takes bribes. Democrats call for him to resign.
    Republican Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas takes bribes. Republicans say and do nothing.

    Both parties are not the same. Younger voters are figuring that out.

    The next big trend will be 9mm divorces.

    Trend? Next?

    It’s alreay a trend and has been for quite a while now.

    The Heterosexual Neanderthal Virus is an STD that keeps on giving. The Heterosexual Neanderthals are violent, angry, selfish people. Breeding will not save them. Their superiority? Well, it’s not so superior. They kill their own families.

    And when they aren’t killing their wives or kids then they are yelling at them. Bunch of dumbfucks. When it is done in the animal kingdom it is done instinctively with some brain thought power behind it, well when heterosexual neanderthals do it, its because they have small penis syndrome and pent up frustration that they were molded into a bride/groom or groom/bride relationship. Life is too much for them to handle.

    They continue to kill themselves. We can only hope it is sped up.

    I’ll keep you guys in the loop and let you know that it is more than common, it’s accepeted and Scummy Mums for fascism like it! They also want you and Johnny know that their babies tities are rippening…..and you know, GRAB’EM BY THE PUSSY!

    7,
    Let’s be perfectly clear about this.

    The Associate Justice was taking an active role in fund raising for a political group that would then spend the money raised* to hire lawyers to bring hundreds of lawsuits that would later come before the Associate Justice.

    And he never once recused from participating in deciding any of those cases that he himself helped to bring before the court as a litigant.

    This is impeachable conduct. For any judge in any jurisdiction.
    It’s got nothing at all to do with who the fucker pals around with.
    It’s an Associate Justice directly using his appointed-for-life position to act as both litigant and judge. It would be appalling conflict of interest by any judge at any level.

    He must be removed. His corruption destroys the entire federal judiciary.

    *Not to mention that the same group would then use some of the funds raised to pay kick backs to the Associate Justice’s wife.

    All HA libbies in unison;

    OK, Menendez is a POS. We now have no choice but to admit that. He’s accepted bribes for decades, been flown numerous times to the Dominican Republic on Malgen’s plane so he could fuck whores on Melgen’s dime. And then he took more bribes to give Egypt’s halal business to cronies in NJ.

    But one thing he would never, ever do is fuck.a 15 year-old Dominican whore.

    Menendez is awful and, yes, we provided cover for him for years and years. But we are proud – so proud -of him for drawing the line at illegality as pertains to under-age girls. “

  17. 17

    @15 So what? Texas doesn’t have self-governing cities. Being a Republican allows him to get his orders directly from his masters in Austin, instead of through intermediaries.

    Ain’t the way back musheeen fun?

    Why it was like a month, six weeks ago Dumbfuck was doing post after post after post about the glorious film defying hollywood odds.

    But in just the last week we learned,

    Tim Ballard sexually abused at least seven women, allegedly, and that’s the real reason he was terminated from organization he founded.

    Former staffers being interviewed for a documentary film say AT BEST Operation Underground Railroad rescued a few hundred kids and the 6500 claim made by Tim Ballard was simply a fundraising lie and very little money was actually spent on rescues.

    But wait, there’s more. After one producer of the film was arrested for kidnapping in July another, Tim Hutchinson was caught on film by the documentary producers groping and fondling the breasts of underaged rescued kids.

    “The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!”

    Menendez is awful

    And despite all teh kreepshits of the world’s whining and whacking off to kreepshit klownservatic websites, Menendez still serves and he will continue to serve while defending himself against alleged but not proven charges.

    None of those charges include the shitstain fantasy of “fucking child whores”.. Neither was that an issue the first time Menendez fought off DOJ prosecutors. yawwwnn..

    Let the wheels of justice turn as they may… teh shitstains will whack off till “that certain day”…

    I can’t find anyone anywhere expressing any pride that Senator Menendez is not a pedophile.

    All I can find are people calling that piece of shit troll a liar for claiming to have evidence that Senator Menendez is a pedophile.

    The lying is pathological.
    Menendez is already bad enough without having to lie.

    Roger Rabbit is going on his annual fall lettuce farm inspection tour, and will not be here to dish out just desserts to Doctor Dumbfuck.

    Trying to see how MSNBC is handling their Chris Cuomo moment with Alicia Menendez.

    Well, going after a Latino senator makes one racist, and Alicia Mendendez doesn’t want to be that.

    Why racist, you ask?

    ‘Those behind this campaign simply cannot accept that a first generation Latin American from humble beginnings could rise to be a U.S. senator,’ he said in a statement.

    This troll voted three times for a guy who bragged to a bus load of total strangers about his long record of sexual assaults and went on Howard Stern to describe how he had sexual fantasies about his own daughter.

    Can’t un-ring that bell.

    Trump has sided with Big Three CEO’s collecting 400 times what an average UAW member earns.

    Heterosexual Neanderthals with Viruses. The superiority that keeps on giving!

    A congressman (or congresswoman) represents roughly three-fourths of a million ordinary people (plus a few thousand millionaires). Part of their job is to promote the values (e.g. “family values”) that enable our society to function smoothly.

    At the same time, they are human beings with private lives, and ordinary human impulses. So when a congressional champion of “family values” cheats on his wife, or a recently-divorced congresswoman plays with her date’s dick while vaping in a crowded theater, we need to remember this: It’s just our representatives taking weekend time off from their jobs.

    That is, if you buy their excuses.

  47. 47

    Sounds like Colorado could use at least one drive-in theater. You know, for privacy reasons. And so the general population doesn’t have to sit next to middle-aged people behaving like horny teenagers.

    Are you better off than you were four years ago? I am.

    President Joe Biden’s job approval rating is 19 points underwater, his ratings for handling the economy and immigration are at career lows. A record number of Americans say they’ve become worse off under his presidency, three-quarters say he’s too old for another term and Donald Trump is looking better in retrospect — all severe challenges for Biden in his reelection campaign ahead.

    Forty-four percent of Americans in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll say they’ve gotten worse off financially under Biden’s presidency, the most for any president in ABC/Post polls since 1986.

    In this poll, it’s Trump 51, my racist, corrupt, incompetent, senile fossil of a president 42.

    Just think how awful Biden will seem in another year.

  55. 55

    He can easily tell a story twice during a 90 second debate answer.

    Also, Wednesday at a fundraiser, he twice told the same story about why he ran for president in 2020.

    He said:

    But then along came, in August of 2017, Charlottesville, Virginia. You remember those folks walking out of the fields literally carrying torches, with Nazi swastikas, holding them forward, singing the same vicious, anti-Semitic bile — the same exact bile — bile that was sung in — in Germany in the early ‘30s. And a young woman was killed. A young woman was killed. And this was — and I re- — you may remember it. There was a consequential piece of business going on. And the former guy was asked, “What do you think would happen?” He was the sitting president. And he said, “I thought there were some very fine people on both sides.” And I mean this sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, that’s when I decided I — I was going to run again.

    Ten paragraphs later, in the official White House transcript, he said:

    You know, you may remember that, you know, those folks from Charlottesville, as they came out of the fields and carrying those swastikas, and remember the ones with the torches and the Ku — accompanied by the Ku Klux Klan. And in addition to that, they had — there were white supremacists. Anyway, they were making the big case about how terrible this was. And a young woman was killed in the process. And my predecessor, as I said, was asked what he thought. He said, “There are some very fine people on both sides.” Well, that kept ringing in my head. And so, I couldn’t, quite frankly, remain silent any longer. So, I decided I would run.

    It won’t just be a story, but an untruthful one at that.

  57. 57

    The Dark Knight Rises:

    Trump, for his part, has improved in retrospect. When he reluctantly left office in January 2021, 38% approved of his work as president, essentially the same as Biden’s rating now. But currently, looking back, 48% say they approve of Trump’s performance when he was in office — matching his peak as president. Essentially as many — 49% — now disapprove, down from 60% when he left the White House.

    ABC/WaPo link

  58. 58

    A near-majority now approve of Trump’s performance while he was in office.

    Trump 48% approval
    Biden 37% approval

    This is what two years of lies about January 6 have won for Democrats.

    Think on your sins.

    Why did Gavin Newsom veto a trans affirmation bill?

    Is it because the freak show lifestyle promoted by The Even Bigger Fucking Moron and by G-clown is a loser with general election voters, and Newsom has seen what a freak show did to Bud Light?

    Hey, maybe Joe Biden will pick Scott Wiener to be his running mate next year.

  61. 61

    Common sense should prohibit Biden from serving again as president.

    In one example of message-sending, among people who say Trump should be prohibited by the U.S. Constitution from serving again as president, 18% also support him over Biden for 2024. Such people seem to be expressing their antipathy toward Biden, not their support for Trump.

  62. 62

    At least one of Queen YLB’s fucked kids will pull the lever for Trump.

    Among voters under age 35, Trump leads Biden in the new Post-ABC poll by 20 points. Some other recent public polls show Biden winning this group by between six and 18 points. In 2020, Biden won voters under age 35 by double digits.

    Those kids are smart enough to know that they’re fucked, and they know that four more years of The Biden-Harris Administration will end any chance they will ever have of leaving their mommies’ basement.

    Behold the fruits of decades of Democrat rule.

    A slate of Baltimore schools have sparked outrage after zero students passed their state math exams – with almost 75 percent testing at the lowest possible score.

    I’m shocked, shocked that a POS terrorist would lie.

    The detainee, Mansoor Adayfi, said he was tied to a chair, crying and screaming as tubes were shoved down his throat and cases of the dietary supplement Ensure were pumped into his stomach.

    As the ordeal drew to an end, Mr. Adayfi added, he was approached by Mr. DeSantis and, “he said, ‘You should eat.’ I threw up in his face. Literally on his face.”

    Mr. Adayfi told his story on a left-wing podcast, then in Harper’s Magazine and then again in mainstream media reports. He found other former detainees who also claimed to remember Mr. DeSantis and his cruelty. The accounts traveled quickly through the liberal media ecosystem, landing in Democratic opposition research and coalescing into a narrative that portrayed the Republican presidential candidate as an accessory to torture.

    Yet, an examination of military records and interviews with detainees’ lawyers and service members who served at the same time as Mr. DeSantis found no evidence to back up the claims. The New York Times interviewed more than 40 people who served with Mr. DeSantis or around the same time and none recalled witnessing or even hearing of any episodes like the ones Mr. Adayfi described.

    When the NYT uses the term “unfounded” in the article title, libbies, it’s time to let this one go.

    The polls the traitor always dismissed were the ones polling “registered voters” instead of “likely voters”. So what kind of poll did the stupe try to pwn you folks with this morning? A poll of registered voters. And how many were polled? Only 890. Compare that to Morning Consult with 6,000 registered voters (Trump and Biden tied). The only recent likely voter polls are CBS News (Trump 1) and Rasmussen (Biden 1)

    Our stupid fascist traitor is into self-humiliation these days. Works for me.

    I believe that you meant 6 years 10 months, QoS McHillbilly.

    Six years and ten months of Guatemalan Toddler Torture, C’Ville Death Cars, Republican Insurrection Terror Attacks, and Trump.

    Always Trump. The one common unifying theme over each and every second of all that failure. Trump.

    You don’t say? Is that really a more precise measure of your complete and utter degradation and failure?

    Well thanks for that clarification. It helps a lot.
    I really mean that.
    It helps for all us liberals who have been winning non-stop that whole time to appreciate just how much Trump really does for us.
    Would you please thank him for us when you see him accepting your party nomination next summer?

    85,
    Steve, the more noteworthy feature of this poll post by the Crybaby is that all it took was one blip-poll of 800 randos to bring the piece of shit out of the Trump closet.

    He’s been pretending to be “EEENDEEPENDUNCE” for the last two years flirting with Fat Midget, Hailey, or literally anyone with a pulse other than Trump.

    But now he’s out and proud.

    Months ahead of schedule by my estimates. I honestly thought he’d be able to sustain some tiny shred of dignity at least until after Easter. Geezus, how completely humiliating. For all of them, really.

    Coming out of the closet is progress, but he still won’t admit that he’s a POS fascist who wants to see American democracy come to an end.

    He can’t even bring himself to admit that J6 was an attempt to overthrow our government. Rather, in this thread the troll and his dozen cosplaying grandmothers told you that you’re all lying about what happened that day. Interesting that he didn’t tell you what the lies are that are being told.

    The stupid POS has been self-reduced to pulling shit from his ass and flinging it at the wall in hopes that it will pwn you, then licking his hands. So fucking pathetic.

    @80 Yeah, I wouldn’t take the word of a Gitmo detainee that a governor who bans rainbows from school classrooms, persecutes trans kids, and dumps unsuspecting migrants on a Massachusetts curb in the dead of winter is cruel.

    I don’t need to.

  96. 96

    …but he still won’t admit that he’s a POS fascist

    It’s enough to get them to admit that they are behind Trump.

    From the very beginning one of the biggest problems with the entire Trump phenomenon was the general treatment it received in the public conversation about whatever the fuck was going on. The public conversation from the start treated Trump like some kind of peculiar force of nature or systemic consequence of events external to politics. It was either some kind of pent up “white rage” or “economic uncertainty” or “overlooking rural diners in Indiana”.

    This treatment has allowed Republican voters to distance themselves from Trump and his entire movement while simultaneously embracing every single last despicable thing they stand for, including fascism.

    Bullshit. Trump is just the guy Republicans like. He exists because they exist. And they are assholes. They support him because they support everything he does and everything about him. For fuck’s sake it’s been SIX YEARS AND TEN MONTHS and they haven’t shifted their support one single point. They love the guy. They love his racism. They love his ignorance. They love his corruption. And they love his fascism.

    They love him so fucking much that a full ten months ahead of their convention they are already settled on his coronation and all that remains is political performance art. They now accept his inevitability and see that for them there is no other option.

    But this time I think the public conversation is going to change. I think this next year will see Donald Trump and the Republican Party finally being openly and regularly discussed as the fully integrated, joined-at-the-hip political deformity that they truly are. And his nomination, his loss in November, and the collective tantrum of denial they will all join together in throwing will seal that in the public imagination for a generation to come.

    Crybaby is out. The rest of them are coming out.
    And once out there is no turning back.

    What Campos-Duffy, a Catholic, actually meant is that Americans don’t have a right to not have Catholicism imposed on them. This isn’t news. The six Catholics on the Supreme Court made that clear when they imposed Catholic Church doctrine on all Americans in the Dodd case.

    The facts make Joe look innocent. Or rather, the lack of any facts making him look guilty make him look innocent. But facts are no concern of yours.

    Tell that to the NBC poll respondents:

    Another 60% have major concerns (45%) or moderate concerns (15%) about Biden’s possible awareness or involvement in the business dealings of his son, Hunter, including alleged financial wrongdoing and corruption.

    Republicans: “Protestors shouldn’t shut down traffic just to get what they want.”
    Also Republicans: “We’re going to shut down the entire government just to get what we want.”

    112,
    Public telephone opinion polling in 2016 had Turd Cruz getting 30% in Republican primaries.

    In 2015 opinion polling big majorities of “Republicans” and “Republican leaning independents” contacted randomly by telephone preferred JEB! over any other candidate.

    By April of 1985 when it was released, in thousands of blind tests and opinion surveys, mall shoppers had preferred the sweeter taste of New Coke.
    By July the original formula was restored.

    I guess it’s good then that the GOP is going to nominate someone already found by a court of law to be a rapist and will be on trial for ACTUAL treason throughout the campaign.

    So do we vote for the guy we think might have maybe done some shady shit with his son? Or the guy who raped a woman, was friends with Epstein, stole a bunch of documents that were top secret including war plans against other nations, showed them to the Saudis, knew it was illegal to have them, stored them in an unsecure location, hid them in a shower, tried to hide the videotape of moving them specifically to keep the FBI from trying to get them back by flooding a server room, ordered his staff who testified at trial to go to extraordinary lengths to keep the material away from the FBI, incited a riot, tried to have the Governor and Secretary of state fraudulently overturn an election handing him a victory he did not earn at the ballot box, caused feces to be smeared in the Capitol, called for the execution of a top General, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff…?

    You do realize the trials haven’t even begun yet and what snippets of evidence we have seen thus far are just the amount needed to secure the indictments. Right? You know that?

    Sixty-two percent of voters have either major (52%) or moderate (15%) concerns about Trump’s indictments, according to the poll, compared to 37% who say they have minor or no concerns at all. (USA Today)

    53% think Trump did something illegal trying to overturn the election in Georgia (A number likely to go way up as the trial testimony goes on) (Fox News Poll)

    Only 26% of Americans say Trump is not guilty (Politico/Ipsos)

    That last one probably won’t move a lot. That’s the “I don’t give a fuck if you find my lord and savior Trump fellating MBS while he reads the classified documents and show me the video and I toss off to it, he’s not guilty!”

    Dueling Kevins

    House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ.) should resign after he was indicted on alleged federal bribery charges. “Yeah, very much so,” McCarthy said Saturday at the Capitol.

    Oh wait, the same Kevin

    Republican Leaders Stand Behind Santos After His Indictment
    Speaker Kevin McCarthy has signaled that the New York congressman will be allowed to continue to serve even after being indicted on several federal charges.

    @117 “Republicans don’t know what they want.”

    Sure they do. They want the segregated 1950s back.

    @119 “we think might have maybe done some shady shit with his son”

    The only people who think that are those susceptible to innuendo, insinuation, and false propaganda. There’s zero evidence of any “shady shit with his son.” The only thing that can be pinned on Biden is that he loves and supports his son, good or ill, as any normal parent would.

    Republicans are trying to make that a crime. They’re also trying to make being born gay or trans a crime. Some will shoot a UPS or Amazon driver for having the wrong skin color.

    What Republicans think and say should not be a lodestar for what the rest of us think or how we vote.

    @120 Poll after poll has shown that roughly 33%-37% of voting-age Americans will support a violent, criminal, fascist. Hitler had very nearly the same level of support in a society far more traumatized than ours, suggesting Americans are much more prone to psychotic breakdown than the starving German civilians and survivors of the trenches were in the aftermath of their country’s humiliating World War 1 defeat. I guess Germans as a people are just tougher than we are; they have a higher breaking point.
