Good Liar: If Vladimir #Putin were running against Joe Biden for President, who would you vote for?

#MAGA Woman: For our country? That's a hard question. Probably Putin.

GL: It is?

MW: Yeah, I don't think Putin is as bad as people want to believe

GL: You would vote for Vladimir Putin?

MW: I would. Over Biden? Hell yeah.

GL: You would vote for Vladimir Putin for President of United States.

MW: Putin wants to go back to good morality. He doesn't allow all this crap.

Kyle Griffin points out that Kyrsten Sinema's fundraising cratered to her lowest quarterly total yet this cycle as she stares down an April deadline to file for reelection.

Sinema raised just $595,000 in the final three months of 2023.

Yes, but they aren't counting her sponsorship money from French's mustard!

The sadness of a #CyberTruck owner.
"Days after launch, you sit at a red light. The novelty is gone, you aren't any happier. Maybe it's your imagination but the gaps in the door looks off. You think you saw a car full of teens laughing at you earlier. You're now 100k debt for a meme, and you feel nothing."

Yesterday I was asked to shave my 91 year old father-in-law. I've only ever shaved myself, so I went online to find a video of learning to shave others.
I watched to the end.
"Honey, does your father have an electric razor?"

#funnyvideo

Here's a video from 1950 that shows barbers practicing their shaving skills on an inflated balloon. Found at Instagram by Gotweird https://www.instagram.com/p/Czd-GO_qIit/

My friends say:
"Too much info is already out there abt jurors.
Someone will be visiting a juror or 6.
With a big bag o’ money. And a drill."

THEY AREN'T ANONYMOUS ENOUGH!
I don't think THE MEDIA OR THE court system gets just how dangerous Trump's followers are.
Trump intimidated a jury member in court.
The MAGAts will find them & intimidation them FOR Trump OUTSIDE the court.

MAGA WILL THREATEN liberal jurors, not MAGA jurors. (COMPARE threats to Judge Engoron vs THREATS to Judge Cannon)

White Nationalist group Patriot Front was confused by the turnstiles at NYC's World Trade Center PATH station.
It reminded me of this classic turnstile scene with Slim Pickens.

#MartinLutherKing convinced #NichelleNichols to stay on Star Trek. But did you know Nichelle played an important role helping to drive recruitment for #NASA in the years after playing #Uhura in #StarTrek?
She recruited #Sally Ride, #ColonelBluford & the first black female astronaut, #MaeJemison.

"It's a car that promises — for only those who can afford them — a blank check for vehicular manslaughter and unnecessary survivability from semi-automatic firearms. Its tagline ("more utility than a truck, faster than a sports car") speaks almost poetically to two distinct but orthogonal archetypes of threatened masculinity: the tacti-cool milspec dork, and the showboating rich guy."
Nathan Ingraham, Engadget

Well written piece on the launch of #ElonMusk 's #CyberTruck

I used to track how politicians got away with saying horrible things.
There were multiple methods:
He didn't really say that.
It was a joke.
Out of context.
What he meant to say was...
What he said was awful, but lawful.
When we asked him to clarify he said,
But with #Trump they don't use those.
They double down.
They're more explicit!
They "balance" them
"Yes Trump called for killing #GenMilley, but he's leading in the polls for President, so it's working for his base! https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/09/trump-milley-execution-incitement-violence/675435/

I'm happy to hear about #Trump 's lawyers fighting each other and getting subpoenas from #JackSmith
To destroy Trump his mob lawyers need to be busted.

One of the best method is the destruction from other mob lawyers.

One thing we've learned is that lawyers who have worked for Trump have learned not to trust him. They record things. They take notes. That is how they protect themself.
Use it against #TFG
Like Gretchen Carlson used against Roger Ailes.

Hey remember when Donald Trump wanted to use our nukes?
But the generals wouldn't let him and he got angry, so they made up the Space Force for him?
Good times. Good times.

While promoting her new children’s book about a puppy, Kimberly Guilfoyle is asked about her friend #KristiNoem She says maybe somebody slipped the puppy murder stuff in Noem’s book to sabotage her and she didn’t see it or know about it.
It is interesting to see how the RWers deal with this story. Watch as it evolves to, "People who DON'T kill their puppies are un-American!"

As a child I told people my house was kitty-corner from a church.

Was the term based on how cats walked?

How did diagonal become kitty-corner?

I'm rewatching The Nevers. Laura Donnelly is riviting to watch. The episode with Claudia Black is amazing. S01E06
It you are a fan of her from #Farscape you will appreciate her role as an old soldier. I'm a fan from #SG-1, and she still has a wry sense of humor in her delivery of lines.

#Twitter name so coming off the building right now but
#Elonmusk didn’t get permit for the equipment on the street so
#SFPD is shutting it down.
Video from Wayne Sutton

HA! #Musk probably fired the people in charge of permits. Speaking of permits, remember when they didn't have permits for people to sleep there?
And he didn't pay the janitors?

Employees who slept there woke up in an X-rated hotel today!

"What Judge Merchan does next — which could range from entering an expanded gag order to ordering full briefing to simply denying further motion practice — remains to be seen. But the DA’s office? They are not playing. FIN."

Me: While we're waiting on this #GagOrder, what happened with the threats to the other Judges? Judge Engoron's clerk? His wife? Where are the indictments of the people who made those threats? 275 pages of transcribed voicemail threats, but no arrests?

Since there are no cameras in court, on Monday I expect Trump will continue to drive his message with the help of RW media--& the MSM.

#Trump "is expected to speak to cameras on his way in & out of the courtroom & is also likely to deliver on-camera remarks at his Trump Tower residence after his court appearances." CNN
The legal experts can talk about how he will lose in court because of the law, rules of evidence & legal procedures but it will be "Balanced" by what Trump says OUTSIDE OF court.

I'm thinking about people we lost due to Trump's horrible actions during #COVID.

Like Dr. Ong in Tulsa, who got exposed to people who attended Trump's Superspreader Rally.
Unlike Herman Cain, he didn't choose to attend.
He didn't sign a waiver.

Trump's White House Medical Unit was complicit in covering up the infections of Secret Service agents & other attendees.

I want to see ads on TV "Did you or a loved one get Covid following the Trump Tulsa Rally? You may be entitied to compensation."

Dr. Yee Se Choa Ong, Cardiologist Died from COVID-19 12/21/2020

A #CyberTruck with its passenger rear panel missing. They cost $100K. As my friend Water Tiger said, "It's the Fyre Festival of pickups."

#Tesla 's Cybertruck is quickly becoming the Edsel or the Chevrolet Corvair of modern vehicles.

Who will #ElonMusk fire for this?

Qs for sports people.
Why is spiking the #football after a touchdown frowned upon?

What's the equivalent in #baseball after a home run? Is it frowned upon?

NFL had fines & penalties against big endzone celebrations, why?

Do fines for unsportsmanlike conduct work?

How should winners deal with #SoreLosers?

Do fans STOP supporting a player or team if they are a sore loser? Or do they admire them for never accepting defeat?

What should winners do if opponents refuse to accept they lost?
