The Frankish Reich

Hey, if he had: 1. Stayed in the race instead of being pushed aside for Kamala. 2. Won the election, Then he wouldn't have pardoned Hunter until January 2029. If he were still alive. Proof that Joe is still the Man in Charge in the White House.

You mean the half that insisted the economy is garbage, that inflation is completely uncontrolled, and that things are going to hell in a handbasket? You mean the same half that suddenly thinks things are kind of o.k. after all?

High praise from the stripper-adjacent Ms. Luna!

To MAGA World, it's a feature, not a bug. David Brooks did a nice job unpacking all of this. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/opinion/trump-values-maga-cabinet.html What does heroism look like according the MAGA morality? It looks like the sort of people whom Trump has picked to be in his cabinet. The virtuous man in this morality is self-assertive, combative, transgressive and vengeful. He’s not afraid to break the rules and come to his own conclusions. He has contempt for institutions and is happy to be a battering force to bring them down. He is unbothered by elite scorn but, in fact, revels in it and goes out of his way to generate it. In this mind-set, if the establishment regards you as a sleazeball, you must be doing something right. If the legal system indicts you, you must be a virtuous man. In this morality, the fact that a presidential nominee is accused of sexual assault is a feature, not a bug. It’s a sign that this nominee is a manly man. Manly men go after what they want. They assert themselves and smash propriety — including grabbing women “by the *****” if they feel like it.

"Islamist invaders" started the fire? Let's just keep making sh!t up.

You might need to check on the definition of "ignore." Responding to my every comment would seem not to fall within that definition. But you be you.

⬆️ Sole redeeming virtue: the nanny was so repulsed by him that nanny-banging was just a sad fantasy

The cited article focuses on degree mill/fake ostensibly Christian for-profit university Grand Canyon University, and its bs attempt to be classified as a nonprofit.

Meanwhile, the very reliable Tony Seruga. Tony, are we still waiting?

How dare you link to the mainstream Media. Especially the NYT. This must be total garbage!

Could someone explain to me what concessions Trump is trying to extort from Canada? Consider: - I want the Keystone Pipeline built to bring Canadian shale oil to U.S. refineries/ports - I want to slap a 25% tariff on Canadian imports which would render the Keystone Pipeline completely unviable.

Very cool. But you're sending me down a rabbit hole looking for info on that proposed new baseball league c. 1959

No self control.

Yes, they do receive absurdly generous lifetime benefits. And by the way, The Economist is an English publication ("American media should not be trusted ...")

Knox. Finally. We saw him more involved with Kincaid out.

Purdy played at Iowa State so cold is no stranger to him

Seth Moulton, Wes Moore, Jared Polis - it'll be interesting to see which one gets the early buzz.

Makes sense to me. Play was ugly, and the refs assumed somebody must've jumped. One of them blew the false start whistle. What should've happened was no flag, no whistle, simple Chiefs recovery and Chiefs win. But how could the refs restore the proper conclusion? Make up a fake penalty that didn't blow the play dead.

Exactly. I don't see any motion/shift. Does O'Connell moving when the ball is snapped constitute an illegal shift? That's the only thing I can think of.

He tried; the kid lived.

So where was the illegal motion? For that matter, what would've been a false start? (since the "start" was when the center snapped the ball) Probably should've been a no call, with, unfortunately, the Chiefs getting possession.

Raiders center was error prone against the Broncs last week too. He saved his best for the end today.

This weekend: Why the Raiders are the Raiders and the Bears are the Bears.

Somehow I thought this was a night game. Looks like I didn't miss a whole lot by tuning in at halftime.

The hits keep coming. Secretary of the Navy: zero military experience. Huge campaign donor.
