Someone posted a pick of Herr Twitler in swimmers a few days ago. I usually don’t go below the belt like this, but this is just too good.
He looks like the perfect, the quintessential Paying Western Tourist in some vid on HornPub featuring a very young Thai male sex worker.

Looks like the master of the universe needs some self-mastery, don't we all though!

Maybe another guy who will have his head in a futurama pickle jar and want to live forever like Jarad, who could end up a jarhead, but not a marine.

These desperate appeals to SCOTUS for ‘relief’ from the wages of their own transgressions must have Roberts & Alito freaking out: given the state of concern over SCOTUS, they don’t DARE intervene in ANY of these proceedings - to do so would be THE SINGLE THING that would make them look even worse than they already do, & virtually guarantee the first refactoring of the high court in our history. The remaining shreds of their dignity require them to STAY OUT OF IT

Donald might require them to be involved, what if he is indicted and whips out a self-pardon? They have never ruled on such an idiotic thing before, it has never been tested. If they said he could, then they would be signing their own death warrants cause Biden would shoot them for being so fucking stupid and pardon himself after!

They didn't want to hear him, he had no case whatsoever and will plead the 5th I imagine, he was squirming for a reason and could be indicted himself. They have to have a case, Trump will appeal his conviction over the secret documents and obstruction of evidence to them too, from a cell, they won't hear it either.

I was not referring to MuskRat but to the suggested nationalized social hub.

I’ve mentioned before the importance - the significance - of the larger conversation. The entire problem w/ media is that they throttle what and who we *CAN* hear within that conversation, due to time, scheduling, and of course, editorial policies (…*and* advertisers). It’s no accident that Fox News is slanted the ways it is, that is part of its MISSION STATEMENT; it’s no accident that MSNBC comes across like the anti-Fox network, they have a mission statement, too. It’s a funneling problem as much as anything else, the sheer number & volume practically prevents sense from emerging.

And yet, that’s where TWITTER turns out to be strong. Not that I think they’ve been following a hero’s path, but it is virtually unique in its ability to let voices rise up. It is the closest thing yet to emerge to a virtual town square, and as we’ve become more sectioned, more pigeonholed, more opinion-fed, we’ve developed a real need for an actual replacement. That it has also risen to the status of semi-official timeline of events makes it essential infrastructure in my book. Entirely too important, too crucial, too vulnerable to be left up to the priests of the profit motive to hold, operate, or administer - or to the descendants of the fugitive slave patrol, either

This won’t convince the Thatcherites that there is a NEED for publicly-curated public space, but so what? We also can’t convince them that gawd doesn’t love *them* the best, or that people aren’t “born to be slaves”. They’re coming apart in chunks now & their credibility is in the toilet, as they lean into the overthrow effort & ignore the torn-up tracks ahead. We don’t have to go over the cliff with them - or *because* of them, for that matter. They’re as “ready” for us as Russia was on Feb 23: believing one’s own bullshit is a fatal flaw

Worth worrying about…then again, we’re no longer under the mistaken impression that “republicans” have valid goals & policies & make an honest effort to cooperate in doing the people’s business

Welp …..

As a Independent, slightly right leaning. …. I fully support abortion. We have enough idiots already sucking on the government teet.
When I started dating my wife 8 years ago, I asked her if “something” happened, how would she feel about it. She gave me the “slash across the throat” maneuver…… I was in love.

The little people have no respect. Can not wait for Trump's reply.

Cruz calls out Trump for not spending on Senate candidates
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is calling out former President Trump for not spending more of his $100 million war chest to boost Republican Senate candidates ahead of next week’s midterm elections.

In an episode of his podcast, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” that aired on Monday, Cruz lamented that Trump had spent “almost none” of his massive cash reserves in key Senate races, arguing that it should be up to the former president to provide crucial air cover for candidates whom he has endorsed.

“I will say by the way I wish Trump was spending some of his money,” Cruz said. “Trump’s got $100 million and he’s spending almost none of it to support these candidates.”

Cruz also accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of withholding critical political dollars from “pro-Trump” candidates, while funneling money into races where “moderates” and Trump critics are running.

“It would be nice if Trump would spend some of that $100 million to help some of these candidates who Mitch is abandoning because they’re pro-Trump,” Cruz said. “Those are the two pockets of money that are there, and right now neither of them are spending in a number of these states. They’re not.”

Cruz’s comments echoed a point of criticism raised by many Republicans for months that Trump hasn’t spent enough to help his preferred candidates at a time when the GOP has a real shot at recapturing control of the Senate.

While Trump hasn’t sat on the sidelines entirely, his involvement in the midterms for much of the past year and a half has mostly consisted of issuing endorsements and holding occasional rallies for politically aligned candidates. Meanwhile, Republican Senate nominees have routinely struggled to keep pace with their Democratic opponents in fundraising.

Republican outside groups have stepped in and ramped up their spending over the past month. That includes a newly formed super PAC backed by Trump called MAGA Inc, which was created to serve as the former president’s primary political vehicle in the final stretch of the midterm campaigns.
