Why use a browser that is made by a company that WANTS ads?

“I’ve written a lot about ad blockers in the last few weeks, from Google’s Chrome updates making some popular options inoperable, to alternatives that will work, to my reason for blocking every ad on YouTube. So when I was contacted by representatives from Ghostery, a German company that operates an ad-blocker extension and other privacy products, I was eager to pick their brains.”

If. You consider it in geological time, yeah…

“But we’re close to World War II because we have people in the White House…”

The full quote is worse:

“Nobody knew what the hell it was either… COVID. They call it COVID. I call it the China virus. But we’re close to World War II because we have people in the White House…”

Epidemiologists knew what it was. They tried to explain it to you. You kept shutting them down.

How that ties into WW II only his addled mind knows.

The fryer?

“And those French fries were good, they were great. They were right out of the ... they were right out of whatever the hell they may come out of.”

Assyrian?

“Azur-Asians.”

If Biden did this, MSM would be all over it. They’d say he had Parkinson’s.

Instead, it’s NPR and no one cares.

Okay, just a hint: if you are writing C, C++ or any other compiled language you aren’t doing anyone a favor using one character variable names. It literally costs nothing to make things clear. One character variable names are terrible.

While I’m on it, gotos are similarly bad. If you feel you need to do either of these, DON’T.

A good friend of mine said, jokingly, “Good code is hard to write, it should be difficult to understand!”

Good. People are starting to remember:

“In 2017, Trump threw rolls of paper towels into a crowd while visiting Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria ravaged the island, an act that was seen on the island and elsewhere in the country as insulting A former Department of Homeland Security official under Trump also said that he called Puerto Rico “dirty,” its residents “poor,” and inquired whether the American territory could be swapped for Greenland ”

Now vote! He is awful!

It’s not fascism if you look through squinted eyes.

“20th-century fascists hated parliamentary democracy,” writes Lowry, “They believed in an all-consuming state and had contempt for bourgeois life. Fundamentally, fascism celebrated violence in a nihilistic rejection of rationality and elevation of military struggle.”

Pretend Trump never said “I’ll be a dictator for one day” and he’s not a fascist!

Trump said, in his defense,

“They had these beautiful, soft towels. Very good towels”

They needed food and fresh water! You know the stuff that was at the harbor but wasn’t released because you didn’t know the island was part of the US?

What kind of unfeeling dolt tosses hungry people paper towels?

Speaking of Puerto Rico, this is what Trump did after Hurricane Maria.

Yes, that is the former President throwing PAPER TOWELS to American citizens who had their homes devasted.

He then prevented supplies from being released. People could see the containers on the docks. But they were not formally released.

It was rumored at the time that Trump was unsure if Puerto Rico was confused whether it was part of the US or a separate country.

This is who some Americans want as President.

“Excellent… All according to my… wait, what?”

Mousebender: Ilchester, eh?
Wensleydale: Right.
Mousebender: OK, I'm game. Have you got any, he asked, expecting the answer no?
Wensleydale: I'll have a look, sir...nnnnnnooooooooo.
Mousebender: It's not much of a cheese shop really, is it?
Wensleydale: Finest in the district, sir.
Mousebender: And what leads you to that conclusion?
Wensleydale: Well, it's so clean.
Mousebender: Well, it's certainly uncontaminated by cheese.

Idaho hurt by too few teenage mothers:

“Let’s put this in layman’s terms. What Labrador’s (Idaho’s AG) filing argues, in effect, is that Idaho might be suffering a too-low rate of teenage births, which is in turn depriving Idaho of the federal welfare payments it might otherwise enjoy.”

All because medical abortion—and THAT’s why it should stop. Because the state suffers. By not getting federal funds. For teen mothers.

Lessee, Trump had a rally with 20,000 people, racist speakers and just sounded horrible.

It was also little.

“Meanwhile, the vice president held a rally in Houston, Texas, on Friday which was also her largest since she became the Democratic nominee. Her campaign estimated that the rally drew a crowd of around 30,000 people.”

“Harris appeared at six rallies, with an average crowd size of about 13,400, the analysis found.”

Almost three times Trump’s.

“ Billionaire Jeff Bezos defended blocking The Washington Post‘s planned endorsement of Kamala Harris in an op-ed on Monday, claiming the decision was a “principled” one and that there was no quid-pro-quo arrangement with any presidential candidate.”

Really?

So why not last year? Why in the weeks before the election when NOT EVEN THE PAPER KNEW???

Rich people really are just rich.

But smart? Not so much.

Reality Winner? She was in prison up to her trial.

Others were executed on flimsier evidence.

But we have a MAGA judge who is willing to put America second and Trump first.

No doubt to sell the secrets to the Russians.

“Members of Donald Trump’s inner circle are plotting to skirt law enforcement background checks to get his political appointees immediate top secret security clearances, according to a New York Times report.”

This is your government under Trump.

Government documents in bathrooms. All because American judges are anti-American.

When a judge is INCAPABLE of being neutral, they are helping the bad guys.

A article about the Madison SG rally and this made me laugh (darkly):

“I kept tripping over a man carrying a large wooden cross. Or, rather, he was dragging the cross on a wheel, which offended me largely because he wasn’t doing the Christlike physical penance he was advertising. At least get some kind of stigmata going.”
