gilbar said...: serious question
how much longer will they allow resident Biden to use the stairs on Air Force One?
Last time, he fell walking UP the stairs, which just looked bad
If he falls DOWN those stairs.. At Best he's going to break his hip

Obviously, an American resident in a wheelchair will look hideous
But a resident going down on a freight lift from a cargo door would look bad too
Will they just quit allowing tv crews when his plane arrives?
Have they stopped already?; 11/19/21, 7:40 PM

@gilbar, shockingly, it’s already been done. Interestingly, it was just about the last time the US won a war.; 11/19/21, 8:22 PM
Big Mike said...: Joe Biden had a “routine” physical this morning? If it’s routine then why wasn’t it already on his schedule for the past few days? Maybe time to get ready for President Kamala? I’m starting to feel like 2021 is going to go down with 1861 and 1929 as notable disastrous years for the US.; 11/19/21, 8:28 PM

Nebraska v. Winsconsin
Michagan St v. Ohio State
Oregon v. Utah
USC v. UCLA; 11/19/21, 8:56 PM

The good thing is Joe had his eyes open and told the gastroenterologist that he didn't see any polyps.; 11/19/21, 9:15 PM
Narr said...: Oh goody. Just in time for me to skip ahead with some catchup comments.

About Rosenberg. He lived in night and fog, like everyone under the Turd Reich, and could have died there. Other men were at that time were choosing to feed and clean the crematoria in the East for the chance to live another two weeks . . .

As for the whining about how only certain elite cultural figures were aided by that group, so what? You help your friends, the people you know, and as for rescuing the saints instead, wouldn't a saint prefer someone else be rescued anyway?

I'm surprised that it took so long to acquit Rittenhouse, even before the better-quality vid--which was tailor-made to make exoneration certain.

The outrage has been delicious!; 11/19/21, 9:35 PM
WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...: Yancey - LOLOLOL.

Needed. Thank you.; 11/19/21, 9:58 PM
Maynard said...: Three of the primary reasons that there is no "mostly peaceful" rioting tonight:

1. Joe Biden (and not Donald Trump) is POTUS ;

2. It's cold outside and;

3. The DNC forgot to pay their militia wing (i.e., Antifa and BLM).; 11/19/21, 10:04 PM
Big Mike said...: While the news media were bloviating about Kyle Rittenhouse, a story nearly slipped past without notice. According to a lawsuit filed by “Rust” script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, Alec Baldwin is accused of failing to follow the script’s direction by cocking his gun (one deliberate action) and squeezing the trigger(another deliberate action) even though it wasn’t actually called for in that part of the script. If the allegation is true (and unlike certain lefty trolls I could name, I maintain my skepticism of allegations that have not been tried in court even when I despise the individual at whom the allegation is directed) then Baldwin had no legitimate reason to be playing around with that gun. So the lawsuit may border on the frivolous, but her allegation is very serious.; 11/19/21, 10:45 PM

From 1840 till 1960, every president elected in a year ending in "0" died in office. Reagan and Bush the younger broke that cycle. Perhaps Joe will pick up the baton and start that tradition again.; 11/19/21, 11:06 PM
effinayright said...: This for "Smartest Man in the Room", who claimed earlier today that college students remain impervious to "woke" teachers and fellow students:

Middle schoolers, got that SMITR?; 11/19/21, 11:22 PM
Joe Smith said...: I have done an extensive survey of TV commercials.

It seems that the United States is a majority black and/or gay nation.

Therefore, I seem to be a minority person.

Where's my free stuff!!!; 11/19/21, 11:25 PM
Joe Smith said...: 'Obviously, an American [P]resident in a wheelchair will look hideous...'

'@gilbar, shockingly, it’s already been done. Interestingly, it was just about the last time the US won a war.'

Sure...except the libs in the media covered it up, even way back then.

Marxism is the goal, no matter what...; 11/19/21, 11:27 PM

Donald Trump's doctor's could never duplicate that finding.

Seriously, on the other hand, we are told that Biden takes the blood thinner Eliquis but we are not told why he is on the med. If I had to guess, I would say atrial fibrillation (A-fib) which is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia, a potentially dangerous irregular heartbeat.; 11/20/21, 12:16 AM

That was EXACTLY what i was talking about. Please show your super smarts; and post a link to a pic of FDR in a wheelchair; 11/20/21, 6:41 AM
Jersey Fled said...: It got down to 27 degrees here last night.

My sprinkler guy can't get here to winterize our system for another two weeks. I booked my appointment November 1st like I always do.

He has trucks and compressors sitting idle because he can't find sprinkler mechanics that want to work. Strange how paying people to stay home and sit on their asses for more than a year now reduces the available workforce. Not even Brandon's most capable advisors could have seen this coming.; 11/20/21, 6:44 AM
gilbar said...: How FDR kept his partial paralysis a secret from the American public — even while he was on the campaign trail

Here's a FAMOUS pic of FDR in a wheelchair Franklin Roosevelt holds his Scotch terrier, Fala, on his lap as he talks to Ruthie Bie, the daughter of the Hyde Park caretaker. Roosevelt is sitting on the porch at Hilltop, a small cottage on the grounds of Hyde Park that was his retreat.

When did the public get to see this? After he was dead?
Secret Service agents would block the view of him using a wheelchair, and would requisition and destroy pictures taken by journalists who tried to get round this.

But most reporters respected the White House’s request for the president not to be photographed in a “disabled or weak” state.; 11/20/21, 6:45 AM
tim in vermont said...: How Putin is Silencing his Political Enemies

What Putin does wrong is not to use the corporate cronies who benefit from his policies to do the silencing for him, I guess. You know, the tech companies who benefit in so many ways from Biden's largess with our money, not the least of. which is his joyful undercutting of US citizen tech graduates pay by giving out all of the visas those companies want in order to provide them with indentured servants who must leave the country if they choose the leave their jobs.; 11/20/21, 6:48 AM

I have been learning a lot of new skills. Youtube is great for that.; 11/20/21, 6:52 AM
Mike of Snoqualmie said...: I got a rock chip in my windshield driving home yesterday from our Snoqualmie yesterday. The glass repair company can't see me until February 1! I don't need a new windshield, just the chip repair.; 11/20/21, 7:49 AM
Drago said...: The Poor Man's *** ***** gadfly: "The Onion called it with their headline: “Kyle Rittenhouse Sentenced to 45 Years of CPAC Appearances.”

After a year+ of spreading one moronic lie after another re: Rittenhouse at Althouseblog, our resident dolt gadfly doesnt spend even one moment offering mea culpas for his/her/xer's pathetic slanders and idiotic legal "hot takes" but instead just slides into "Onion" mode.

Because of course.; 11/20/21, 9:35 AM
Narr said...: Gerda S--

Sorry for the ambiguous phraseology. "Tailor-made" in the sense that the clear vid was all that was needed for the jury to realize they had no choice of decision left.

I thought KR was justified all along, and nothing I saw of the evidence ever made me doubt it.

Good for the jury system.; 11/20/21, 12:03 PM
Baceseras said...: According to a lawsuit filed by “Rust” script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, Alec Baldwin is accused of failing to follow the script’s direction

I'm not following the case closely, so if the above quote is in the news, it comes to me as out-of-nowhere.

I mean, what actionable harm befell the script supervisor? What standing does she have to sue for damages? What's missing from this story?; 11/20/21, 5:20 PM

sound strategy to shield herself from /stray voltage/ from claims about script required Baldwin to do whatever !!!!; 11/21/21, 1:45 AM
