  • (I’d ban Daily Beast links if I were in charge.)

    Maybe after they ban Breitbart and some of the other right-wing propaganda outlets that pop up here from time to time are banned. Actually, are any new sites actually banned here? Don’t like the site? Just down-vote and move on.

    I do object to the use of Barbie here, though. Partly because I don’t hear the guys in his orbit referred to as Kens. But I mainly object because her being a plastic toy for the administration to use to spew talking points is not my main objection to her. I’m more offended by her being a sadistic monster.

    This person took a one-year old puppy, that she hadn’t bothered training, into a gravel pit and shot it to death because it wasn’t trained. Now, while this is bad, what’s worse is that she included this story in her memoirs because she thought it was flattering to her. This is a far more important factor about the type of person she is and why everyone on the planet should hate her. She should never be named as anything other than Puppy-killer Kristi Noem.












  • I lived most of my life in Illinois and you’re right, the property taxes suck. But keep in mind that you get what you pay for. Move to a state with low property taxes like I did, and enjoy shitty roads, crumbling infrastructure, and lack of assorted services that you now take for granted.

    I also miss having a Governor who gives a shit about people. I held my nose and voted for Pritzker when he ran against Rauner, thinking that it wouldn’t make a difference. Turned out to be the best choice I ever made. I’m really hoping he runs for President in '28.


  • “egregiously misquoted” sounds a lot like lying. I’m pretty sure that lying in federal court filings is a felony. These lawyers should be censured at minimum.

    False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001)

    The principal federal false statement statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1001, proscribes false statements, concealment, or false documentation in any matter within the jurisdiction of any of the three branches of the federal government. It applies generally within the executive branch. Within the judicial branch, it applies to all but presentations to the court by parties or their attorneys in judicial proceedings. Within the legislative branch, it applies to administrative matters such as procurement, as well as to “any investigations and reviews, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission, or office of the Congress consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate.”
