Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

20 minutes late getting back from lunch…thanks, Joe

sounds like all of Parley’s Canyon/I-80 between SLC and Park City was shut down for his motorcade

Paying for legal fees with donations from those harmed by the criminals, now where have I seen this concept before? Ah, yes, just a few weeks ago.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ca ... -rcna96904

"The Diocese of Syracuse, New York, has agreed to a $100 million settlement with parishioners who claimed they were preyed on by priests, the biggest payout by a Roman Catholic diocese in the U.S. since at least 2018.

But, for now, not a dime of that money is coming from the six insurance companies that cover the Diocese of Syracuse, lawyers involved in the case said Friday.

Instead, as part of its bankruptcy proceedings, the diocese itself will have to shell out $50 million, the parishes in the diocese will have to contribute $45 million, and other entities aligned with the diocese will pay $5 million, to settle the 411 abuse claims filed by 387 people, the lawyers said."

The beauty of this is not on the surface.

The Rubes are feeding Trump their disposable income…which will suck away funds that might have gone toward Pubs in other races.

the nightmare scenario in which Trump is re-elected could be offset by a strong Dem representation in the Senate and House….possibly the only way to stop Trump from scorching the USA.

Name another organization with a history like the Catholic Church that would be treated the same as it is and has been.

I feel like a straight man.

Syd looks uncharacteristically robust in that video.

Rumors The Lincoln Project released the video below because I'm drinking coffee out of this cup this morning, are (probably) greatly exaggerated.



Imagine what we might accomplish if we worked together, and our "conservative" friends weren't bathed, marinated, sous-vided, in this vacuous, mendacious crap, all day. It's so sad. It's the fucking Twilight Zone. They/we deserve better.

Let's hope Trump will step-in and cover their losses, much like how was there for his cult members in Miami recently:

Trump shouts, 'Food for everyone!', does not buy food for anyone.



This really got to me. What an exemplary human being:

Trump supporters pray over him at Versailles in Miami's Little Havana, shortly after pleading not guilty to 37 felony counts in federal court:

Imagine how bad the alternatives - on both sides of the aisle - must be for people to support a man like him so vehemently.
