Comet is one of my favorite pizza joints. Ping pong tables and video games in the back. Excellent place to have a drink after playing 90. I was first told about ‘ladybug’ there
Here’s the thing. I know I’m pretty smart; I know I’m smart enough to know there’s a disconnect here. But, gee-willikers, I’m just not smart enough to see it. Anyone care to help me?
maybe you should have tried to focus on the insane bit earlier?? https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/11/poli...most-popular-article-end&tenant_id=popular.en
Draining the swamp. Will any of these idiots ever realize that Trump talking about draining any swamp is the equivalent of someone giving themselves an enema with their own piss.
This is what happens when people don't have critical thinking skills. I understand why Trump appealed to people. Especially when the dems weren't a trustworthy option. But the argument that "Trump will keep us out of war" always made me laugh. Anyone with an ounce of common sense could see that Trump did not have the temperament to not use the best military in the world, and oh my gosh what a shock we're at war.
I do tend to think also that (and you may be correct to some extent) this underlined line of thought is a misnomer - a near totally false construct of the social media age. Ted Cruz lies to protect Trump 75 times and CNN references 3 of these maybe, and two or three times Meanwhile a member of the J6 committee says something off once or twice and Fox news and its minions and acolytes run the liar aspect over and over.... How can people who are constantly (since 2016) lying be deemed "more trusthworthy" than people whose past might evince an occasional political untruth or malfeasance? Again, as I keep saying, the largest culprit is (anti-)social media....
I know many people who rely on social media scrolling for news. Sadly, there are so many sources it is an impossible task to differentiate the "reliable" from the "others". The other problem is even "reliable" main stream media are more full of "opinion" pieces than just straight up reporting. I don't think most people notice the difference.
Largest culprit is the proliferation of agenda/politically driven media companies. If you watch Fox then MSNBC, you see 2 different americas. Social media simply amplifies that.
Two different entities. Just like Navalny and Putin. One dealing in reality as it unfolds - the other as they make it up. .The trouble is that reportage-bias and reportage-lying are two different entities. It's probably akin to the difference between Big Bird and Cthullu. (If you took say 20 graduates of political science (masters degrees) from the Sorbonne, University of Dublin, Uni of heidleberg, Bologna and Cambridge, and played them a few 5 min piecs of Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity and then of Lawrence O Donnell and Ari Melber, which two would you think they would assess as lying to them? If you were forced to bet a year's salary on the answer. The unwillingness (particularly in the last few years) to continually stress in actual reportage's defense that reasonably uncontroversial opinions are not the same thing as deliberate lies. And to stand up and fight that loudly. Then the further lying in itself that then gets associated in commentaries about such opiniated reporting, and its then subsequent amplification into a theory of that which it is not - is the real key problem. People need to be helped-educated - they can't all figure it out for themselves. The trick the RW use is that bias is not (post-60s was not) equalized across major legacy media. And they harp on and on about that. Well, of course it isn't/wasn;t - as (in general) educated people tend to be less reasonlessly (feelings based) biased about the moral worth of personal positions. If a reporter has a starting bias that basically states, for example, "gay people are alright, and should be allowed live their lives like the rest of us / the people marching as gay in the St. patrick's day Boston Parade are not by definition weirdos" that kind of scope of debate used to be picked upon by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O Reilly and stressed as one of a phalanx of supposed liberal biases. Whereas these freedoms of bias were nearly always things that all of these people criticizing them would take upon themselves as their own rights in the versions that they happen to agree with. No one should be telling them who to love, where to pray, how many dangerous guns to own and flaunt, whose icon to burn, etc.....
Blinkin' amazing how a whacked out person can cling tenaciously to one prong of his sicknesses to the detriment of al the others .... Oh well, every little waking spell helps https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...rorism-center?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
Apropos of the above - Trump responded to the news of Kent’s resignation at a White House St Patrick’s Day reception, saying he had read Kent’s resignation statement and claiming he “didn’t know him well.” “I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security,” he said. yeah - sure you did, you corpulent duck-lard brain celled sh1thead. The same way you analyze all your analysts' analyses of Global Security issues.
it is incredible how they tie themselves in knots to not blame Trump. It really does feel like a medieval court rather a democracy.
During the last days/months of Henry VIII, he was in really bad shape. His legs were full of sores, abscesses, puss, gangrene and they stunk to high heaven. You could, apparently, literally smell the King around the corner, in the next room, anywhere he was close. Plus he could barely walk. To mention, and in some cases even see, any of this was automatic treason and people were executed. How long before mentioning Lumpy’s dementia is called treason?
Probably clutching at straws .... but the Iran thing - especially the way Trump went along with Israel's wishes - seems to be really pissing off a lot of the Maga nut cases. His intelligence guy (resist temptation!) just quit and some of his influencers are saying they're done with him.
Still, in the personals ads posted on Tower bridge, he was described as a fine catch for any prospective 7th wife
Yeah MAGA watching is really fascinating right now. Their natural instinct is to trust Trump, and not agree with the "Libtards". But they can also see that this seems like exactly the kind of thing they are against. The result is they are totally all over the place. Some just parrot the talking points of the day. Some are actually coming out and saying it's a bad idea, while doing some serious intellectual gymnastics to not blame the fearless leader himself, and most just seem to be rocking back and forth quietly repeating "In Trump I trust" hoping it will all work out in the end.
Another high grade presidential candidate gone...... https://apnews.com/article/chuck-no...fb31583d7f877?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us Jeez- pick five names to speak about..... Bob barker and Donny & Mari Osmond doing Martial Arts - that must have been a helluva sight....
And had a hellova time as a PE instructor at a girls finishing school in Switzerland during the Vietnam era.
