Nice story ... A Portland, Ore., teen was picking through bins of new arrivals at a local Goodwill store in January when he saw another shopper pick up a massive, bright yellow jacket with Chamberlain's name etched on the back. The shopper eyed it indecisively, then tossed it back. Brown snatched it up. As an avid thrifter, he says he knew right away it was a good find. He bought it for $3.07 US ($4.36 Cdn), figuring he could sell it online for a couple hundred bucks. Now it's on the auction block at Sotheby's, where it's expected to fetch as much as $250,000 US ($355,150 Cdn).
Well give the guy some credit. He did end the Persian War , The Punic Wars and played a massive part in ending the Wars of the Roses. BTW those Yorkists were scum.
Yeah , Trump has renamed it The Twenty Four Hours War. Settled it like no one has ever done, one phone call .The best settling of any war ya know.
He even had to invent the phone in 1453 to get the war settled. Wikipedia-ed that war. One of the reasons it went on so long (116 years, actually) was due to several truces of many years. Iran says that sounds very familiar, but they can’t quite put their finger on it.
She was remarkable all right, although not many of those remarks would have been complimentary. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cp9l8l05vxet Still I suppose even complete idiotic tosspots need to R.I.P. Please God, don;t let it emerge that this had a sexual connotation of some sort - my brain simply would not be able to compute that.....
Carrying guns around in public unless you happen to be going to a gun range is absolutely fvcking dumb. jail this guy for life......
Very good headline that encapsulates a man’s public service and lack of moral center. “Lindsey knew better. But chose worse”.
He's been a world-class spineless hypocritical weasel POS ever since McCain died. No tears for him. Hopefully his death will present a mid-terms opportunity for the Dems. Will it?
The "Graham was a wonderful person, almost a saint!" nonsense that we'll be seeing now really makes my stomach turn.
When a sizeable portion of MAGA believes that Lumpy wears Depends and takes to wearing them themselves to show support (Real men wear diapers), well, let’s extrapolate…
And then he started sucking trumps dick. Nonstop. Which of course is his purview to keep power (and I guess the pun is intended). Graham was a horrific human being at the best of times. No good person should shed a tear.
In his own words .... To House Democrats seeking the first impeachment of Trump “The process you’re engaging in regarding the attempted impeachment of President Trump is out of bounds. It’s inconsistent with due process as we know it. It’s a Star Chamber-type inquiry, and it’s a substantial deviation from what the House has done in the past regarding impeachment of other presidents.” On Trump as presidential candidate “He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party.” “I don’t think he has a clue about anything. He’s just trying to get his numbers up and get the biggest reaction he can.” “He’s never served. Going to a military high school, Donald, is really not military service. You’ve never worn the uniform. You’ve never been on a forward operating base.” “You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.” “He’s just generally a loser as a person and a candidate. You can’t nominate a nutjob and lose, and expect it doesn’t have consequences.” “What I see is a demagogue, somebody that has solutions that will never work, that is playing on people’s prejudices and the dark side of politics.” “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it.” “He’s got a great sense of humor. He’s from New York. He obviously can take a punch.” “I would like to support our nominee, I just can’t.” On Trump as president “I went from, ‘OK, he’s president’ to ‘How can I get to be in his orbit?’ to ‘How can I have a say in what’s going to happen today, tomorrow and next week?’ “I personally like him. We play golf. He’s very nice to me.” “I have never been called this much by a president in my life. It’s weird, and it’s flattering, and it creates some opportunity. It also creates some pressure.” On Trump and January 6 “Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president. All I can say is count me out. Enough is enough.” “Can we move forward without President Trump? The answer is no. I’ve determined we can’t grow without him.” On having Trump’s endorsement “Mr President, you’re not far behind God.” On John McCain “He had a romantic view of our nation to his last breath. Literally almost the last thing he said to me was ‘I love you. I have not been cheated.’ He was not cheated.” “What I miss was the collaboration. It was a political marriage.” “It bothers me greatly when the president says things about John McCain. It pisses me off to no end, and I’ll let the president know it. The way he’s handled the passing of John just was disturbing. We finally got it right. I am not going to give up on the idea of working with this president. The best way I can honor John McCain is help my country.” “I’m not living my life going forward around John McCain.” On his friendship with Joe Biden and investigations of Hunter Biden “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.” “My friendship with Joe Biden, if it can’t withstand me doing my job, then it’s not the friendship I thought we had.” On Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman “This guy is a wrecking ball. He had this guy murdered in a consulate in Turkey, and to expect me to ignore it, I feel used and abused … The MBS figure is to me toxic. He can never be a world leader on the world stage.” “I have come to know the Crown Prince over the last five years, and remain impressed by his vision for his country and the region … The Crown Prince’s vision is not only great for South Carolina, it’s great for the United States and the civilized world. For this to be a reality, the region cannot be controlled by the forces of darkness who seek an oppressive future for their own populations.” On Brett Kavanaugh and the supreme court “If you wanted a FBI investigation, you could have come to us. What you want to do is destroy this guy’s life, hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020. You’ve said that, not me. You’ve got nothing to apologize for.” “When you see Sotomayor and Kagan, tell them that Lindsey said hello because I voted for them. I would never do to them what you’ve done to this guy. This is the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics. And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn’t have done what you’ve done to this guy.” “You’re supposed to be Bill Cosby when you’re a junior and senior in high school. And all of a sudden, you got over it. It’s been my understanding that if you drug women and rape them for two years in high school, you probably don’t stop.” On Iran, and his support for Israel “The simple question is, do we have a president who understands who the Iranians are?” he said about the Iran arms deal. “Obama is dangerously naive about the Mideast. This decision is the biggest mistake any president of the United States could make. The Iranians are not wanting to become one of the family of nations.” “The Palestinians in Gaza are the most radicalised population on the planet who are taught to hate Jews from birth. It will take years to fix this problem,” “If the radical cleric in Iran had a nuclear weapon, he would use it just as certainly as Hitler were to use it. He would kill all the Jews, and we’re next,” Graham said Monday. “I’ll put my efforts to make sure the military has what they need to win the wars we’re in, ahead of anybody in the United States Senate.” “If Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them. So, to all the people listening, if this diplomatic effort fails, President Trump is going to take the Strait of Hormuz.”
Highly unlikely in either case - South Carolina is hardly a battleground state. (( EDIT: Also - I think he was re-elected 4 years ago. Carolina governer would nominate someone for the rest of the term, I believe - seems he was up for re-election. Governor nominated his sister....
Well, I guess he was about right there, at least at those times when God has just gotten immediately up off the celestial Royal Doulton
Stuck with Faux News on at the gym in the resort we are staying at in Mexico (yes I was desperately looking for a remote control). The headlines in the few minutes that I watched: “Trump gave peace a chance, now it’s bombs away” “We are coming for Pickaxe mountain and there is nothing they can do about it” “Iran is no longer the bully” “Ayatollah is losing power” and the inevitable Kamala story: “Kamala delivers word salad to WNBA” (is this even a story?). I realize they don’t even attempt to be anything but MAGA cheerleaders - but the headlines had me chuckling - until I was reminded that there are 30-40m American voters that look at this and nod along to every single word. Their entire existence is predicated on feeding their (very dumb) viewers the most basic of lies and making sure they continue to divide the country at all costs.
I wonder if Faux will highlight this from MSNOW .... "Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016. When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024. But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?" https://xcancel.com/i/status/2076855681064567130
That's almost unbelievable, I wouldn't imagine Fox's tilt would be popular in Mexico, plus I thought CNN had the airport and related markets covered for "news" feeds.
Yeah not sure - they had it on in the gym as I noted - I was surprised as well - but Cabo is very US friendly destination so maybe their satellite feed included Fox. “Tributes pour in for Lindsey Graham” - another great headline. “Bad people eulogize bad person” might as well have been the headline.
