  1. DeSantis will be along shortly to put this in a whole new light. To clear the minds of evangelicals and let the outright racists know that the jury got it right. As whites in the south always do. "DeSantis’ education department released a statement late last week highlighting 16 examples of “some slaves” who “developed highly specialized trades from which they benefitted.” But as the Tampa Bay Times and others noted, “Nearly half the figures highlighted by the state were never enslaved” and several of those who were “did not gain their skills from their servitude.” Teachers in Florida's dept of racism and re-education. Grooming themselves for future employment at FOX.
  2. Bezos should snag her up. Like WTF is Blue Origin doing other than burning cash for nothing of substance?
  3. Soon the only insurer in the most climate at risk states will be the insurer of last resorts, Uncle Sam. California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida and a couple others will have premiums in the stratosphere. Then we have the farmers in Texas, the central plains and other areas hard hit by drought and floods. Uncle Sam to the rescue again. Meanwhile immigrants keep flooding across the border because farming in C. America is so difficult.
  4. Once again I find it difficult to reconcile his success at SpaceX, Tesla with his baffling bungling at Twitter.
  5. GOP attack ads are now using AI created attack ads. trump never really said what is represented in this GOP ad. This is going to get very confusing for anyone who can't think for themselves. Like say FOX viewers. This ad comes from a pro DeSantis group, naturally. No word yet when Jesus, Attila the Hun, President Putin and other favorites of the right are going to endorse DeSantis.
  6. Outstanding modern example of the same quote.
  7. Ah! The very basis for which all FOX programming is created. FB, Twitter, the dark web, American Enterprise Institute, Truth Social, etc all have the algorithms working in the same direction. So to quote one of the most infamous writers of the extreme right “Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” In this case its republicans and science deniers can play.
  8. Unlike other ex communist European governments Russians have always loved two things. Authoritarian governments and rewriting history to suit their needs. The always have a list of enemies usually made up to blame everything on. "A record 70 percent of Russians approve of Soviet leader Josef Stalin’s role in Russian history, according to a poll published by the independent Levada Center pollster on Tuesday(April 2019). They also have a long history of using food as a weapon: "In 1932 and 1933, millions(about 4-7 million) of Ukrainians were killed in the Holodomor, a man-made famine engineered by the Soviet government of Joseph Stalin."
  9. A couple weeks ago I tied into you about some subject or another. I can't be bothered to go back to find the actual posts. John Kallend and Billvon leapt to your defense espousing your intelligence. So I decided to actually start reading your essays again thinking that perhaps I was wrong. Now you've done it again and shown your smarts when you said "and let it go." I thought that the hole might be getting deeper and deeper. Brent would have kept digging, so bravo. I feel so lucky now to have survived driving through LA. Totally unaware how close I came to the end of it all. Mississippi! Although I've never been there I'll have to study the situation more as to how it came to be a bastion of the easily confused and naturally very violent killers. Crikey!
  10. Since there are about 50 Muslim majority countries in the world. Italians and republicans would likely be under permanent travel bans to them.
  11. "Earlier this week, Farmers Insurance said that it is going to be pulling out of the state of Florida, according to Insurance Journal, in a move that will potentially impact up to 100,000 policies once their current terms are completed. It’s the fourth major insurance company to pull out of Florida in the past year....in the past two and half years, 10 property insurers in Florida have become insolvent.... and in republican Texas...Texas leading the pack at over $7 billion in severe weather damages this year." I increasing have a hard time gathering sympathy for Texas and Florida given their republican climate policies.
  12. Its fruit season in Washington you need to continue your destiny in the cherry orchards.
  13. This will really rile the FOX base up. Speaking of another institution.......congratulations! But for the US right, immigrants just want to freeload and are a bunch of uneducated Blacks, Browns etc. Instead: "Canada has a message for highly skilled immigrant workers in Silicon Valley: Move north. The country is creating an easy path for these tech workers to relocate there. Starting July 16, Canada will streamline visas for people who hold the H-1B specialty occupation visa in the U.S., as well as their immediate family members. Those workers are overwhelmingly employees at tech companies. ... “The technology sector in Canada is growing at a faster pace than it is in America, and it is almost entirely because of restrictive U.S. immigration policies,” Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, said in a statement. “Rather than facilitating the issuance of visas to skilled individuals, like Canada, America’s current system is plagued with roadblocks that are difficult (or even impossible) to surmount.” Above a billboard on Highway 101 from San Francisco to San Jose. What a great idea. Let America vet the best skilled Indian engineers and then steal them. Right out from under the noses of America's technology driving companies. Thanks Brent, thanks trump, Canada gives thanks to the republican party.
  14. They take their lead from trump, Gaetz, etc. who believe that since anytime is a good time for sex.
  15. Every year you start a thread about this subject and you quote false information. But expecting you to change is like expecting trump to tell the truth.
  16. AFAIK he is an American. Its just too bad that his vote gets cancelled out by yours.
  17. To understand all the global climate events going on I wonder what it would be like to be a republican. Blame the economy and environmental changes on Blacks and Libs. As such not have a worry in the world. Certainly none that can't be solved by prayer and screwing others over to make a buck. Such a simple and uncaring life where the thinking part of the brain is occupied by hate and how to run another scam.
  18. Wanna bet that republicans will name buildings, monuments, parks and freeways after trump? Even after he is convicted! Even after he goes to jail! Hell trumps solicitation of donations will expand after the prison door slams shut.
  19. Texas republicans, only the best of the worst.
  20. Somebody else seems so very similar is so many ways. Thinks he knows more than anyone else and tells everyone about it. Never suffers the consequences of admitting he was or is wrong. Has a world view of himself plus America and F*&k everyone else. Believes and states that science is always wrong. Any idea thats money making even if someone else is harmed or shafted must be good. The environment is a dumping ground for anyone who wants profit.
  21. trump has surrounded himself with poor council all his life, legal and otherwise. Perhaps the old saw " you get what you don't pay for" applies the most to him. But in defense of his lawyers trump has never listened to the best advice around him. As he has parroted all his life "nobody knows more about __________ than me" Finally as far as his presidency, twitter, Truth Social, etc. he just can't keep his big mouth shut. He has admitted to most everything he has been accused of. "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. "
  22. I improved it just a little.
  23. The speed in which Musk has destroyed Twitter is unprecedented in corporate history. Most believe that its all a part of taking deeper and deeper drinks of the republican ideals. Decades from now in business schools professors will use it as a prime example about how to ruin a company.
  24. The new DeSantis education program in Florida is right up there. Slavery, America's contribution to the education of Blacks. Just like smallpox and wiping out Bison helped Native Indians settle on reserves. The only place in the education systems that republicans frequent is school boards. Where they ban books and rewrite history. Florida and Texas remain at the top of the list of states banning the most books, followed closely by South Carolina, Missouri, and Utah.
  25. MAGA multitasking for the American right What a country!
