Rep. Moore (D) WI quoted saying about Elon Musk, " very concerned about this non-elected, non-citizen immigrant basically running the presidency."

Original Mike said...

Moore has never been the brightest bulb on the tree.

BUMBLE BEE said...

Who is acting like Biden is currently running the country? Can't make this sh*t up.

Leland said...

What Moore is really saying is that he is against an individual rallying the people to motivate the democratic process to represent the people.

Biocore. I’m using that to describe my lawn from now on. It will drive my son crazy.

Mason G said...

" very concerned about this non-elected, non-citizen immigrant basically running the presidency."

Joe Biden is supposedly the president. Perhaps he should address the issue?

The Tablet magazine article Instaspudnik linked to was masterly. I, and I imagine most of us, was long familiar with the bits and pieces, but Samuels ties it together with virtuosity.

Sydney said...

That is a beautiful photo

Clyde's Top 15 Favorite "New" Songs of 2024 - Part 7 of 16

#10 Old 97's - "Magic" - American Primitive - 2024

On my year-end review from Amazon Music Unlimited, I was informed that I was a top fan of Old 97's, having listened to them for a total of 2,469 minutes in 2024 (Top 0.5% of listeners). There are a lot of great Old 97's albums from previous years, but I also listened to their new album American Primitive quite a bit. There were several songs I liked, but I had to pick one for this list, so I went with "Magic." If you enjoy their music, I recommend the whole album.

Bonus song: Old 97's - "I Don't Know What Christmas Is (But Christmas Time Is Here) - 2022

This is from the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special in 2022. The band is all made up and costumed as aliens for the video. This video probably has more views than any of their other music, which on the one hand is a shame because their music is so good, but on the other hand at least it got them some more exposure. This song was an instant Christmas classic for me.

NKP said...

Has Moore wondered, at all, who’s been running the presidency for the past four years?

Mason G said...

Of course not. It's somebody he'd be expected to support anyway, so why worry about it?

Clyde said...

Nice picture, Meade. Great composition.

Lyle Sanford, RMT said...

I really like that pic! Something about the eye moving through all those visual textures is very relaxing, along with all the easy colors.

Original Mike said...

FYI, Gwen Moore, the representative for Wisconsin's 4th congressional district (Milwaukee), is a woman.

Original Mike said...

Though I don't know her declared pronouns.

Whiskeybum said...

Just to clarify - Moore’s first name is Gwen, as in she is Gwen Moore, from Milwaukee.

Oh, and she is a Democrat party-line hack and dim bulb as previously noted, which is evidenced here with her claim that Musk is not a US citizen, and is running the yet-to-be-attained Trump presidency (part II).

Pretty funny, really, a left-fascist whore whining about "non-citizen immigrants". You don't like it, vote MAGA, you dizzy twat.

Mason G said...

Fair enough. I used "he" in my earlier post because someone else did and it wasn't important enough to me to do a fact check on it. Besides, when it comes to Democrats, how can you ever be sure?

selfanalyst said...

Agree, excellent article.

Jupiter said...

It does speak to Trump's political acumen, that looking upon the bitterly divided electorate he needed to win over to become President, he realized that there was one thing they all had in common.

Jersey Fled said...

Agree. The one thing it didn’t touch on, however, was the willingness the Democrats had to win elections by cheating. Which led to things like open borders, motor voter, and mail in ballots. All were necessary for the Democrats to win.

Jersey Fled said...

Obama.

Original Mike said...

I wouldn't have looked it up, I just happened to know it. She has a reputation around here.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

She's just upset because Trump's billionaire (Musk) has a lot more billions than their billionaire (Soros).

Retired Althouse: Anti-travel Anne on suitcase packing: Showing pedo-Joe interacting with a child: National emergency a NY political (NYPD is political) is corrupt, like the rest: VP Agnew and drug use in early 70's!
Meanwhile, our "President" has pretty much been a vegetable and nobody knows who's been running gubmint for four years.
She/Her seems to be avoiding some issues?

selfanalyst said...

She's made it clear in the past that she posts on what interests her. That's not the same as avoiding.

Readering said...

DC got their revised RFK lease from Congress after all.

Jupiter said...

Yeah, well, except halfway thru ...

Political Junkie said...

With the passage of time, I say without hesitation he was top 10 of all time.

Kate said...

Thanks, I'll add that to our Christmas playlist (which is close to 800 songs now).

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

The picture is a very good composition.

Derve Swanson said...

Meade is the better photographer of you two.
He's got more an eye for the shot.

You take waaaay more but don't land it as often...

Derve Swanson said...

Clyde, have you ever thought of making friends who enjoy music and could sit and share with you in real life your interests? It's hard to play music in a blog. Curious why you spend your time trying to cultivate that community here?

Are you a shut in?

Derve Swanson said...

He's making a comment on her choices.
She's said in the past anything goes in this Daily Taps comments. It's ok to observe she's slipping, imagine where the country would be today if we were able to say that openly about our aging leadership class...
