8/12-14 Weekend Open Thread
No. There is nothing conservative about Fox. They are religious extremist, White Supremicist, misogynistic, oligarchy apologists that lie 24/7 and are run by toxic malignant criminals. The other networks attempt to tell the truth and are far too politely moderate for my taste. https://t.co/UCeDemwgXN

Mucho gracias, Senora Benny for hosting our Nest this week! 🙂 T and R x 3!! 🙂 This Roger Waters’ show I’ll be attending later on this month will have plenty of political commentary in it. A founder of Pink Floyd?? Whew!! He is anti-fascist, Progressive British to the core. 🙂
Yeah, just don’t tick him off, or he’ll have his henchmen hold you down while he spits on you.

Do not forget Peter Welch and John Fetterman. Both will win Senate seats in November. Latest skinny down here is Rubio has got trouble w/Val Demings. She’s pulling closer and closer in early polls. I still prefer her hubby, but I will vote for her in November if need be.
I think Fetterman is likely for the senate. If we could also get Charles Booker in, we’d have a chance to not need Mancsiemna.
Both WI and FL are in play, too. Yeah, I know it sounds nuts but I know folks who are voting who never have before.
If the Dems turn out to vote….
The Dems do out number the R’s in WI, their gerrymander is the only thing keeping them in power. Any state or national race that doesnt involve gerrymanders in WI the dems can win. Hopefully the RvW decision and Cult -45s treasonous activities drive turnout for midterms here. Dems and indies can make a difference in Nov.
Gerrymandering is always a gamble, based on who is most likely to vote in a given area. New voters change that equation, sometimes dramatically. Roe was overturned and that alone has ticked off an awfully lot of people. And that’s not all they’ve been doing. Their leader is most likely a secrets peddling traitor. Now they’re at war with the FBI. I can only imagine where that’s going to lead, and I don’t think it’s a good place for the GOP.
All those GOPPER chickens are coming home to roost. Let’s see ’em count THOSE eggs.
Man, do I hope Biaggi wins!!

Meanwhile musk would bring Saudi money to the table if buying twitter.
Musk can go shove it and go back to So. Africa. We’ve got too many homegrown aholes here Period!
In Texas, this is par for the course. Using profanity is not that big of deal, especially in rural towns. I was yakking with a childhood friend In Texas who doesn’t like Beto at all. But she agreed this is not unusual language in a confrontation.
So we spread the virus instead? Sounds more like the former Administration’s policy. You may not get as sick with Omicron, but with masking no longer required either, it doesn’t make sense to me. However, I guess Biden’s administration is tired of hearing complaints from parents who have to work and can’t stay at home with their kids.
They don’t have a choice. That’s the shape this broken country is in. I continue to follow my protocols including masking. Thanks the gods, I am retired.
No, they won’t go to a doctor because of the high deductibles in those plans. But it will be a pinch hitter is all.
A little levity…
Yea, ketchup, mustard, grease from the KFC and dt coke stains.
Don’t forget Big Mac Special sauce.
Watching a little of the debate on the House floor. Rethugs haven’t even read the bill. They were given a list of talking points. The giddiness of the Dems is troubling to me as well though. They too are working from talking points.
A lot of the same monied crap bribes a lot of them along with the GOPukes.
Figured I’d get the weekend started. 🙂 Hubster records Colbert’s Late Night and he had Joe Walsh on. Walsh is part of a benefit concert and he’s assembling the James Gang to play. Guess a few of them are still breathing. LOL. I have this one on vinyl and love it. I saw the lineup for that benefit, and it wasn’t too shabby for a bunch of old farts. 🙂
Funk 49 by the James Gang is my fav too!
Today JtC at c99% played an oldie from a group that was only around for 4-5 years, and toured with Grand Funk Railroad (partly as I think they had the same producer) Bloodrock.
I remember them. 🙂
Love the James Gang!
Where Did the Public Option Go?
Am I surprised? Nope!
And the other scary part for me, is that the fascists are hiding (except when it comes to policing black people) in the police depts and military.
They’re not exactly hiding. They’re slowly crawling out from under whatever rock they infest.
