Sobering thought:

Depending on how serious you think they are, do you think this site is being mined for our personal info/tfg’s personal enemies list?

I don’t want paranoia to rule my life, but in light of what I think is to come, I’m a little freaked out.

Thanks to everyone here for making it bearable up to this point.

Glad the site is still operating. Still hoping for the best.

So now, is there any doubt who had Epstein killed?

There shouldn’t be.

This albatross has killed the Republican Party, this is grand.

*sigh* overheard in the local men's locker room this morning

Old guy 1: Did you vote yet?
Old guy 2: Not yet. Went out yesterday, but they’re closed on Sunday I guess.
Old guy 1: I always vote in person on Election Day. Say, did you see the DOJ authorized the military to use lethal force against U.S. citizens?
Old guy 2: What? They did what?
Old guy 1: Yeah, they reissued a directive that now lets the kill Americans, I’ll sent you the link.
Old guy 2: Do.

So I went home and did a little due diligence. They’re referring to a particular directive that was simply updated a week or two ago, it’s part of normal, routine updates that government documents art subject to, and nothing in the document authorized what they claimed. But te DOJ still had to issue a denial.

I guess maga-ville is losing its mind over this, the timing close on the heels of Helene, and a few weeks before the election. Unbelievable how ready they are to believe this shit.

Not that it will affect the outcome up here

But the missus and I just cast two for Harris/Waltz and Mary Peltola.

Felt for the poor librarian, (that’s our polling place) who was frazzled by the sheer numbers that have done this since Monday when it began.

If enough of us vote we will win.

LOL have to share my foolish confoundment.

So sometime a couple of weeks ago I noticed that a fair number of the posts down thread were suddenly highlighted in yellow. “What now??” I thought, expecting an update notification with an explanation.

Fast forward to today when I realized I’d fumble fingered my way into grazing one of a few spaces on the toolbar, and yay, I can make the yellow go away.

What a maroon, sez I!

Photoshopped J. D. Vance images are now on CNN front page.

This is going to leave a mark.

He's not the president David

Stop calling him that.

This is really pissing me off

Every single time he calls him president trump.

For my Schadenfreude

I drop in to check on DJT at CNN business. Up until today they’ve rated it a “4” claiming it is expected to perform inline with the general direction of the overall stock market.

Someone over there finally grew a pair today and moved it down to a “3”, which is expected to underperform the market average.

Finally, some cracks in the wall.

Voted for Mary today.

Come on folks, this is an easy seat to keep.
