Friday Open Thread

by — ,

Back from vacation, looking forward to a 3 day weekend.

Anyway, it’s pretty rad that kids under 18 are eligible to take public transportation for free from most agencies now. And Washington State Ferries starting in October. It’s really a great thing. Public transportation is a great thing and I love encouraging people to take it.

Anyway, anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    EIGHTY EIGHT EMPTY FOLDERS MARKED CLASSIFIED RECOVERED FROM PRIVATE SEX CLUB

    Trying to imagine how the media would have responded to that if it was Barack Obama.

    Watch this unfold today. It will be interesting and informative. But you will see plenty of leading, important media companies and media personalities treating this like it was some kind of “both sides” thing, with credible explanations that are deserving of our consideration.

    And you’ll see that treatment from media companies and media personalities you probably consider to be either “unbiased” or “left-leaning”. Are you sure about that now?

    Remember now, in October of 2016 nominee Trump went on television and admitted to having some kind of history of committing criminal sexual assault. And in the immediate aftermath you saw media companies like the NYT, CNN, and WaPo run with “locker room talk” that focused not on the substance of what Trump was admitting to, but rather on his “unique” personality as a way of explaining it.

    It’s a very fair question to ask following these kinds of performances by the media if it is really in your best interests to trust any of them? See what you can learn about them today.

    Degen lost.
    Degen continues to lose.
    Degen continues to cry about the losing.
    What’s that make Degen?

    God bless President Joe Biden, he should get a noble for saving the economy and for saving America.

    Thank You Sir!

    Trolls and Traitors deserve Hell

    Imagine what the media would do if Trump gave that speech about millions of democrat voters.

    Donald Trump, Jr.

    Democrats are vicious, horrible people. They are, in many ways, the worst. They are horrible people.

    President Donald Trump

    Wealthier.

    I’m not footin’ the bill. YLB’s fucked kids are footin’ the bill.

    4,
    Republicans like Degen, who continue to claim great expertise in economics, insist that these strong jobs numbers are a certain sign that a massive recession is already underway.

    Checks out.

    A Republican business owner is the guy who, upon concluding that his company will experience a 25% drop in sales volume in the next quarter, immediately insists on doubling the workforce and expanding into new markets. He’s obviously wrong. But we just aren’t sure how.

    And neither is he.

    His dick grew too.

    These two things are true. Count on that.
    After six solid years of being dead wrong about everything he could possibly be dead wrong about. These two things out of everything are true simply because a troll can type anything at any time and will never be held to account for any of it.

    As a nation of Trump supporting fascists pouts their morning away, let us now recall that while he was President of the United States on at least 24 separate occasions Donald Trump gave public addresses or published statements specifically accusing named individuals and companies of criminal treason.

    Biden won.
    Biden continues to win.

    Karma, Bitch!

    Between Dark Brandon and Jedi Grand Master Merrick Garland, there’s been some serious fascist MAGA ass being kicked this week.

    Soon we’ll have the September 1/6 hearings being wrapped up with Republican Reps. Liz Fucking Cheney and Adam “The Man” Kinzinger lowering the boom on the treasonous SOB.

    A reminder of how fascism ends.

    @13

    That would be a fitting end to Trump and his brand.

    Although the thought of Trump sitting in ADX Florence near Kaczynski also warm the heart. Poor Trump would only get a stainless steel toilet though. I’m sure he would complain that would be, “cruel and unusual punishment” to not have a gilded shitter to sit upon.

    “This is her home. It’s her bedroom. Even her husband isn’t allowed in her bedroom,”

    Finest journalism all week, no doubt about it. On so many levels.

    From this point forward, whenever I’m confronted by yet another degenerate piece of shit wearing a red trucker hat bitching about “speaking Mexican” and demanding bathing suit inspections I’ll smile as I picture the locked bedroom suite. Too bad MindGeek isn’t publicly traded.

    I see that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s shares of 3M have reached a 52-week low today.

    Proud Boy Lodge President Enrique Tarrio’s J6 lawyer just quit and informed the court that Tarrio will be going pro se.

    Dark Brandon is everywhere!

  22. 22

    @2 Trump should hire you as his lawyer so that can be his defense at his espionage trial.

    They electrocute atomic spies, don’t they? No, not anymore; now they send them to Florence ADX to rot away in an 8×10 concrete dog crate for the rest of their miserable lives.

    Oh, and no internet or outside line to keep in touch with their fans.

    @5 That’s a speech Donnie Junior would readily give, if he hasn’t already, and he’d be as full of it as he always is, because Democrats aren’t doing the shit described in #258 of the previous thread.

  25. 25

    @17 The best part of this whole saga may be the deer-in-headlights stares of the empty heads at Fox News.

  26. 26

    @18 I’ve been wanting to unload my 1,000 Exxon shares. Some of the taxes I would owe from cashing out my Exxon gains just went away. I’ll sell the 3M shares to offset some of those gains, then wait out the wash sale period and buy them back at a much lower price.

    Bannon’s motions for trial de novo and summary dismissal to the DCDC are denied.

    The district court can now proceed with sentencing scheduled for Oct 21st. Mandatory minimum will be 30 days per count and up to one year per count. His next step will be to seek a hearing for an appeal of his conviction to the DC Circuit. Included in that appeal would be a motion seeking a stay of his sentencing while his appeal is being considered.

    I’m not confident in his chances for a stay. My best guess is he’ll get six months each for his two counts and he’ll be pursuing his Circuit appeal from behind bars wearing orange. But it’s possible that events of this week have made me overly pessimistic when it comes to the stupidity of Trump creeps.

    @21 They’ll just refile the charges to correct the legal deficiencies in the original indictment.

    25,
    At first Barbie seemed to appear pleased that Barr was willing to open up live, before she began to look physically ill.

    I get that these people are not terribly bright and that they lead highly scheduled and very busy lives. But it’s been a few weeks in which each passing day makes the previous day’s “FOXsplaining” rhetoric look ridiculous even for them. And I get that it’s a very visual medium in which the appearances of the on-air “talent” matters at least as much as what kind of paranoid yowping is spilling out of their faces. But don’t these people ever stop and listen to what they are saying?

    Author Barbara Ehrenreich (“Nickel and Dimed”) died, and Jane Fonda announced she’s beginning chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

    Fonda’s trip to Hanoi understandably and justifiably pissed off Vietnam veterans. In particular, her photo-op at a North Vietnamese AA gun was incredibly bad judgment. But what she did was bad enough that rightwingers didn’t need to smear her by making up a bullshit story about betraying POWs.

    The wingers also Photoshopped a Fonda image into a John Kerry photo to smear Kerry.

    These fuckers can’t do anything without lying. Everything they do has lies embedded in it. Lying is compulsive with them.

    @32 A passport in the same drawer as classified documents. Well, it could be worse. At least they didn’t find the plane ticket to Moscow.
