    Oops! No vote on BUB, EX-congressman.

    We have a defector -Joe Walsh!

    “Enough is Enough: Joe Walsh abandons GOP, calls Trump a White House Tyrant” Says he converted to a Democrat. But the article also says he converted to independent 5 years ago. Have to look up how he voted on the Big Ugly Bill (BUB)! Says he still holds to his core values of fighting...

    Elon Musk now owns 9.2% of twitter...update.. will soon be the sole owner as Board of Directors accepts his purchase offer

    So now Musk is backpedaling all his Trump shitposts. The net result is he clearly demonstrated that he is way too unstable to have any involvement at all in government. Just like his host.

    So apparently Kari Lake now has OAN broadcasting to what’s left of VOAs’s audience. So right wing propaganda is now the Voice of America. Nice. (From 2paragraphs, rated medium credibility by mediaboasfactcheck.com, and I know zero about THEIR credibility. )

    Just read a great article from The Hill. “Trump and Musk fell out because Trump just doesn’t get principled people” by Colin Pascal, a retired Army lt colonel. Interesting contrast of transactional people like Trump vs principled people like most other leaders.

    Those two are virtually identical so we all knew this was coming. They can’t both be the most arrogant lying self-centered bully in the room! Worth noting is that while this lover’s spat provides cover, the real Dr. Evil, Russell Voight, is (relatively) quietly going about his business of...

    Rant The unfortunately necessary RFK Jr. thread

    Before the election I was really looking forward to Lina Khan et al cracking down on quacks, but we have gone the other way. It is a pet peeve of mine that the tv networks make so much from neuriva and prevagen commercials, and those are just the tip of the iceberg. Great article here...

    So does this mean we can’t believe Musk when he said he was done with political bribes? Now he is going to kill the republican majority? I am SHOCKED that he is waffling! Truly unbelievable!

    Discussion When was the first time you realized people were stupid en masse??

    That is the one for me. The GW Bush and Trump elections closely behind.

    Opinion: Jordan Peterson has always been a crank

    I had to search since I thought I said that somewhere, since I think I liked his book 12 Rules for Life ages ago, in fact so long ago I can’t remember much more than I thought it was ok. With 5 pages of results, he certainly seems to be a controversial person. I suspect that he sort of went off...

    Suspicion about Shari Redstone of CBS

    How the hell did CBS come to be controlled by one person? I thought it is a public corporation? Ok, this sheds some light. https://variety.com/2018/biz/news/shari-redstone-cbs-national-amusements-legal-1202812500/

    Excellent clarification. We need to remember that. So more like a third of eligible voters, I think it is. Those nonvoters own this.

    Orange stain second term results thread

    Just read a very good “man bites dog” story in WaPo from George F. Will titled: Opinion The Trump administration is pure progressivism in action Here are the nine core components of progressivism. Trump nails every one, like presidents before. I won’t link since Apple News must use special...

    Leon is lashing out at The Atlantic after they did an article on his decline and fall, calling them a zombie publication. Makes me really love them, especially now that it looks like Ms. Redstone is letting CBS go down. :confused_old: I may even have to break down and subscribe!

    I was just reading about Sen. van Hollen telling Rubio he was sorry he voted for him, then the article went on to say that 99 did. That surprised me! Why? They thought he would stay a conventional old school non-MAGA Republican and be a touch of sanity? WRONG!
