The Frankish Reich

There's literally nothing to see here. Typical White House event celebrating this or that. He shovels the b.s. a bit about the importance of Greece and Greek Americans, laughs off saying "the Biden-Obama Administration" instead of the opposite, and asks the teleprompter guy to roll it back when one of his self-aggrandizing digressions takes him off track. A politician doing one of the dull daily things a politician is asked to do. Having said that: Is it depressing that we have two old self-aggrandizers as our presidential choice? Yes.

So you tell me: is there anything GOOD about the economy today? Because if there is I haven't ever heard it from you.

If you weren't in your little echo chamber you'd have noticed that I posted the same National Post article a couple days ago.

The point here: a state-wide minimum wage law is now a stupid thing. $20/hour in Silicon Valley? I'm sure the going rate is higher, so the law has zero impact. This fast food joint is in the Central Valley, which is kind of like an Appalachia in California. The going rate is much lower, and the new law will kill them. I'm not in favor of minimum wage laws in general, but ignoring regional differences in a huge state like California is idiotic.

Of course that's the point. Why do you think Trump nominated Gorsuch (50), Kavanaugh (53), and Barrett (48)? They are taking advantage of life tenure to try to control the judiciary for decades. Democrats are pressuring the oldest one of their own to step down so they can appoint another 50ish jurist. That's why the tweet you reposted was stupid. This has nothing to do with an idea that Sotomayor is too old to be effective, and everything to do with who is on the Supreme Court in 2044.

I get it. Everything sucks.

It was revised UP. Has there ever been a more "glass half empty" pessimist? Jobs report bad? Biden's economy sucks. Not adding enough jobs. Jobs report good? Biden's economy suck, more inflation.

You buried the lede - past two months revised UP. You've been telling us they're always revised down.

So clever. It's as if they forgot that President is not a life appointment. Maybe Trump has them confused about that.

I dunno. Maybe we can ask Jesse for one of his patented communist takes. (Learn how to write)

She highlighted the wrong verse. Should have been that one about he who "keepeth company with harlots"

The OP does realize that his title makes it sound like Jesse Kelly is a communist?

I think it's nothing different than "let's go back to the old playbook." Wild conspiracies fired up the audience for these guys, which in turn juiced turnout for the election. And last time the idea that a significant portion of Trumpies are out-and-out nutcases never really gained traction in the general public, so they still see it as a net gain.

This is not an issue that will go away. You take a population with a significant percentage of unvaccinated people (measles) and/or who have been smuggled through Central America and Mexico in crowded conditions (tuberculosis), this is bound to happen. If you want to immigrate legally to the USA you have to be examined by a "civil surgeon" (doctor), including a TB test, with chest X-ray if positive, and a full course of treatment if any chest infiltration. You also need to show that you are current on all normal vaccines. Illegally? No check at all. At a minimum we need detention with a physical exam prior to releasing anyone, and that's the minimum.

I think you found QAnon!

An outrageous attack. The best defense: we were grossly negligent. The worst scenario: we knew what they were and we killed them anyway. Netanyahu will likely understand just one thing: no more arms or funding.

Only the best people:

Ladies and gentlemen and various flavors of non-binary persons, I present to you some of the peaceful patriot "hostages." Example (but read the whole linked article - gunshots fired, flash-bangs thrown, others charged later with conspiring to kill FBI agents ... and all of the "low class" description accurately given them by Trump himself) Jacob Lang — who can be seen on video hitting law enforcement officers with a baseball bat and riot shield — faces multiple charges of assaulting law enforcement officers, as well as felony charges of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding. He was arrested in January 2021.“I was the leader of Liberty today,” Lang wrote on Facebook after the riot, wrongly tagging himself at the White House. “Arrest me. You are on the wrong side of history.” He said the day after the attack that it was “war” at the Capitol, not a mere protest.

I will submit to the 12 step program to ensure that never happens again.

Is that one of the "can you spot the trans person" photos, erroneously posted here? Because I think I just spotted one.

but bring on those idiot Trump History memes! Preferably in every thread.

Wrong again. Cross posted it in 6 threads.

Oops. Cross posted it in 5 threads. Night shift lab tech got time on his hands.

Yep. Posted the same incredibly unamusing Photoshop tweet in at least 4 threads.
