Now McAuliffe, the preferred VA Gov candidate of all "good" "LLR's" who just want to "conserve conservatism" by electing democraticals at all levels and establishing a permanent democratical majority, has officially jettisoned his primary campaign narrative!

According to McAuliffe, this race, as of today, has NOTHING to do with Trump!

Nothing at all!

Just one day after LLR Chuck's beloved pedophile-er team at The Lincoln Man Boy Project were paid off to claim responsibility for #TikiGate!

Quite frankly, after already getting democratical judges to toss important election integrity rules and somehow already knowing there are supposedly hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots sitting in the lost office...for McAuliffe, (yes, somehow the McAuliffe staff "knows" this), McAukiffe is STILL panicking.

My guess: the democraticals have already primed illegal absentee vote pipeline with hundreds of thousands of votes but are now worried that their 300,000 to 500,000 extra vote shenanigans might STILL be too few to pull this off and are now setting the narrative stage for extending vote counts long enough to generate what they need.

Just like they did in Nov of 2020.; 10/30/21, 6:27 PM

William said...: My heart doesn't break for Alec Baldwin or Gov. Cuomo, but I'd like to see people dial it back a bit. I'm pretty sure Cuomo is probably guilty of trying to cop a feel, but I don't think he belongs on the list registered sex offenders. Cuomo has lost his career and reputation. He behaved badly on multiple occasions, but how much punishment is enough....I just saw a picture of Baldwin. He looks haunted and sleepless. It probably occurs to him that there were a lot of things he could have done differently and those things would have left her alive. Such thoughts probably occur most frequently when he's trying to get some sleep, and they are never going to go away.; 10/30/21, 6:41 PM

Humperdink said...: So I go to WalMart to buy two cans of black aerosol Rustoleum. The shelves are bare of all Rustoleum aerosol paint, save for a few cans of black. I count my blessings as I exit.

I am reminded of Henry Ford's comment in 1909 regarding the Model T: "Give them any color they want, as long as it's black". We're back to 1909. Let's Go Brandon!; 10/30/21, 8:58 PM
Gospace said...: Haven’t seen the sun in 3 days. All those taxpayer subsidized solar panels in CNY have produced nothing for 3 days, and even more nothing every night since installed. Good thing no one uses electricity at night.

Seriously, with no sun, the only thing I’m motivated to do is sleep, but that darn work thing gets in the way.; 10/30/21, 8:58 PM
Gospace said...: How much punishment does Cuomo deserve? Depends on who you ask. I’m 100% in favor of rope, lamppost, assembly for both him and his successor dictator. Really, masks on 2 year olds?

Mobs, pitchforks, and torches would be an acceptable alternative.; 10/30/21, 10:35 PM
Lewis said...: A Chance Of Blue I

What will happen will happen: The crowd
Of millions that, perhaps, have their own
Destiny: Accident jostled an understanding
That 'did not exist'. To look, completely,
In your eyes and smile. Something
O so innocent: to forget fear.

We both see, we hope, the same chance of blue.
The sky above just the destiny that destroys.
To wander beyond what is possible:
Men hope it will follow. Wanting
What our cowardice has denied us.; 10/30/21, 10:49 PM

Big Mike said...: Cuomo has lost his career and reputation. He behaved badly on multiple occasions, but how much punishment is enough

Against best medical advice and despite having available a US Navy hospital ship Cuomo forced nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of elderly patients estimated to run into the tens of thousands. All to save a little money. Let me know when he’s gone the Epstein route.

(What? You think the only crime Al Capone ever committed was a little fudging on his income tax?); 10/30/21, 10:53 PM
Rosalyn C. said...: I came upon a page from this blog from 10 years ago, (August 25, 2011
"Leaving aside the insane notion that there should be anything more to 'manliness' than...") purely by way of a series of strange circumstances too circuitous to explain.

I honestly had forgotten the entire interchange and was surprised to see that there was so much relevance to our present political situation and gender issues -- and our crisis of leadership. I was definitely and correctly chastised for suggesting that Abraham Lincoln might not be considered sufficiently manly today to be elected president, considering his legendary physical strength. But I wonder if his feats of physical prowess would even be acceptable in our times. Of course it's impossible to imagine who Lincoln would be if he had grown up in the late 20th century. I was trying to imagine someone like him in our present culture and judging him for his odd physical appearance and the fact that he spoke with a high pitched voice. Could someone who looked and acted and sounded like Lincoln be a successful politician in our time? Our values are so different.; 10/30/21, 11:06 PM

Lewis said...: That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,

How shall your houseless heads, and unfed sides,

Your loop'd and window’d raggedness, defend you

From seasons such as these?

King Lear Act III, Scene IV, Lines 28-32.

I sent some stupid poem one drunken night to poetry.com or whatever and they, or there algorithm, attributed it to T.S.E -as if, the insult!; 10/31/21, 5:17 AM

A man who lectures gun owners on gun safety, but as executive producer of a movie where guns play an important role in the plot does not foster a culture of gun safety on his own movie set deserves no sympathy. If he needs drugs to fall asleep at night, it’s not as though drugs aren’t readily available in Hollywood. As recently as last year he wondered on Twitter what it was like to kill someone by accident. Now he knows.; 10/31/21, 7:17 AM
tim in vermont said...: I have very little sympathy for Alec Baldwin, sure it was an accident insofar as he didn't intend it, but a few seconds' effort could have prevented it. A few seconds effort that anybody who picks up a gun should be aware of. If he actually used the words "trillion to one" then he shows what a moron he is. That's just a denial that he should have taken any action at all to ensure the gun he was playing with was not loaded. If you believe it's a trillion to one, there is no need to check the gun, right?; 10/31/21, 7:57 AM
