My favorite sasquatch bumper sticker: "World Champion Hide n'Seek".

Crimso said...

My favorite Tears for Fears song has that name. They wrote it for Robert Wyatt (with a humorous dedication in the liner notes that only Soft Machine fans would get), and it certainly sounds like something Wyatt would record.

I believe, there is no Sasquatch.

Well, except that one spotted on Mars

Another old lawyer said...

You should.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr Threatens to ‘Jump Off Bridge’ if Trump Secures GOP 2024 Nomination

There's a story every weekend, from Trump's crazed Saturday night (generally) rallies. Usually, it's a half-dozen stories. Trump saying or doing something ridiculously hateful; some advance team outrage; some warmup speaker with some crazed utterance; it is always, unfailingly, something. And usually lots of somethings.

This weekend, it's from Trump Television Mouthpiece "RSBN." This will be a post in two parts.

PART ONE
The great Ron Filipkowski -- Florida attorney, former prosecutor, Marine, media monitor of TrumpWorld and podcaster -- was monitoring the RSBN coverage of the Trump rally in Erie PA. A host working for RSBN named Matthew Alvarez was doing sidewalk interviews outside the rally. Filipkowski captured the following exchange from the live feed. First, a transcript, and then a link to the Ron Filipkowski Tweet that started it all.
Transcript:
MATTHEW ALVAREZ: So how are you guys doing?

TRUMP FAN: Good, good, good. I’m here to guarantee Trump gettin’ back in and get rid of the corruption that’s in the White House right now. It’s a disgrace. Joe Biden is a disgrace to this country.

MATTHEW ALVAREZ: He’s a disgrace. And so are all the, the left and the RINOs, the globalists…

TRUMP FAN: … every one of ’em! Kill ’em all! Kill ’em all!

MATTHEW ALVAREZ: I agree with you on that!

Okay; now I want to warn you that the TrumpWorld response to this little outrage is that the toothless Erie PA hillbilly was saying "Jail 'em all." Not "Kill 'em all." And the Matthew Alvarez response is that "of course" he would never agree to 'killing them all.'
So here is the actual video as captured online. You be the judge. You can hear it easily at normal volume; for extra clarity, turn your volume up the second and third times that you listen to it, just to be certain.
https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1685335614470705153

PART TWO
So while the Trump rally in Erie is still ongoing, the Twitterverse starts to explode as Ron Filipkoski's Tweet goes viral. And so then Matthew Alvarez goes on-air to "retract" his having agreed with something that he is apparently claiming he didn't actually hear. Here is that video:
https://twitter.com/RSBNetwork/status/1685436528044974080?s=20

Deplorable. A deplorable cable station, with a deplorable guest host, interviewing a deplorable man on the street. "Deplorable" is neither funny, nor a badge of honor in this context.

Serious Question: How many days of vacation have YOU had, since Jan, 2021?
Joe and Jill Biden Spotted at the Beach – Biden Has Spent 360 Days of His Presidency on Vacation
That's not Quite every other day.. I mean, he's been resident for nearly two and a half years..
So that's only about two out of Every five days (360/(365*2.5)== 39%

Just THINK, of the FUCKUPS this 'man' would have got US into if he was on a 4 day week!!

I believe I understand why Sloe Joe, and Kamala were frauded into the White House.

Joe was/is sending arms, and money to Ukraine. Joe was managing the Ukraine connection, and always required a kick-back.

Joe is funneling much of that kick-back to the Democrats. He’s a campaign donor with US tax dollars.

John henry said...

Devon Archer is going to testify tomorrow about Hunter and Brandon's business ventures.

That is if he can stay ahead of the arrest and jail order DOJ issued Saturday. Pure coincidence. Not at all an attempt to silence him.

Meanwhile some of the ultramaga right wing conspiracy sites are noting that Obama turned up golfing today with a black eye bandaged fingers. Was he the other paddle boarder present when his chef died? The pice are neither confirming or denying.

This may be a false flag, ready to be teed up "look at what those crazy maga's are are up to now. Accusing an honored former president of murder. It's racism because Obama is black!!"

Turn the outrage machine to 11.

But if Archer goes the Frankie Five Angels route at the committee "I just made up a bunch of stuff for the Fbi guys" the story about Obama goes back in the box.

Tomorrow may be an interesting day.

John henry said...

I always love a good conspiracy theory

Problem these days is that they keep changing to fact.

One I really like says that traffic circles, with cars going round and round cause tornadoes.

Check it out, tens of thousands of traffic circles have built in the us. To make traffic flow more efficiently. (they say. Yeah right)

Tornado frequency has increased at the same time.

Do you really think it's a coincidence?

This sasquatch guy must be pretty old by now. Maybe some health issues, a limp maybe, eyesight going. Or dead or never existed. I vote the latter.

Barr jump off a bridge? There's a one-footer down at my stream.

Dr Weevil said...

Biden was inaugurated more than 2 1/2 years ago, at noon on January 20th, 2021. If you count the months, two and half years from then was noon on July 20th, which is ten days ago plus ten hours ago. If you're careful and precise and count the days, the five-eighths point of his term was a day and a half later, midnight on July 21st, still almost nine days ago.

As A. E. Housman wrote in a similar context, "Three minutes' thought would suffice to find this out; but thought is irksome and three minutes is a long time."

Original Mike said...

Does anyone here remember a discussion we had regarding a book about the joys of studying mathematics in old age? I'm trying to remember the title.

Re: Bill Barr.

Which bridge? Will tickets be available?

wildswan said...

Ridiculous - the most ridiculous series of conspiracy theory comments I've seen in awhile. And yet ... a chill creeps over me ... isn't the truth about the Bidens the most ridiculous ... No, no. I hold the line. There is no Sasquatch. The rest, maybe.

Chuck said...

John henry;

I want you to post a link to whatever you think is "the arrest and jail order issued by the DoJ" for Devon Archer.

It is as if you Trump dumbfucks are spring-loaded to repeat whatever stupid bullshit gets put out on right-wing media.

By Rep. Lauren Boebert.
By Charlie Kirk.
By Rep. Nancy Mace.
By Rep. Matt Gaetz.
By Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

And, no. They are all wrong. You, John henry, got sucked into their propaganda. Ready, fire, aim.

The DoJ letter regarding Devon Archer, issued Saturday, was timed just days following Archer's failed appeal of his 2019 conviction (a fraud crime unrelated to Hunter Biden). He was sentenced in 2022. And what the DoJ did on Saturday was to write to the trial judge (US District Court Judge Ronnie Abrams) and asked her to schedule a date for Archer to report to prison, after the Second Circuit Court of Appeals finalized an order days earlier upholding his one-year sentence.

It is not "an arrest and jail order." It is not intended to, nor will it, interfere with the scheduled appearance by Archer for whatever sort of goat-rodeo that the House Republicans have in mind on Monday.

Now, who agrees with me as to the foregoing? That this is a giant non-story?

The DoJ for one.

Archer's own lawyers for another.

And even Fox News lifer Brit Hume says so.

This is one of those cases, John henry, where I really want to rub your fucking nose in it. I am officially taking out all of my frustration with TrumpWorld's unending obsession with all things "Hunter Biden" on you. Sorry.

Devon Archer is going to testify tomorrow about Hunter and Brandon's business ventures.

Archer will talk behind closed doors to the Comer's wonderfully inept committee without being sworn in. Archer, as you should already know, was convicted of ripping off the Oglala Sioux Tribe for an amount in the $60 million neighborhood and after more than a year continues to look for excuses to stay out of jail. But the judge just ruled on the sentence, so prosecuting attorneys asked that he begin incarceration. Archer's lawyer is attempting the political maneuver to keep this real crook out of jail. Hunter Biden had nothing to do with Archer's theft from the poorest of the poor tribe.

Anna Keppa said...

Funny how Sasquatch is never spotted with Missus Sasquatch or little Sasquatch Jr.

Only him. And never any signs of nests, shelters, dwellings or Sasquatch poop. Just Sasquatch, who keeps on truckin'.

Apparently Sasquatch don't need no steenkin' "minimal breeding population" in order for his species to continue.

Dude's immortal!!!

The committee is investigating the Biden antics at selling out the US to China, among others, and gadfly does not want it exposed. Recall the Republican senators marching up to Nixon's office imploring him to resign .... and he did. For shame gadfly.

Devon Archer was Hunter’s business partner, whom also had a seat on the Burisma Board. The “goat-rodeo” though is about the Biden Family business, not Archer’s theft of tribal land. Archer purportedly will share info on Joe’s participation in the Family business, which he continues to deny. They have a serious issue though, because Hunter and Devon had nothing to offer Burisma except the assistance of Joe to remedy whatever they needed remedied. And we know from a reliable source that Joe indeed did so for at least $5 mil.

Yes, we’re all quite disturbed by what could be revealed today….probably for different reasons though.

tim maguire said...

I like the X Files phrasing, "I want to believe."

It captures the reality that it's fun to believe, a lot of people who do believe have motivations other than a desire to better understand the world, and it creates an opening to "believe" without being a dupe.

On a separate note, Bill Barr did not say he would jump off a bridge if Trump is the nominee. When asked what he would do, he said "I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it." He was playing with a common idiom to highlight how unpleasant his choice will be. Saying he'd jump off the bridge suggests he will hold his nose and vote for Trump.

Good news, gadfly, Biden's DOT is going to make aircraft have restrooms that can fit two people. You'll be able to fly again and fit in the restroom. Your team is really looking out for you.

tim in vermont said...

That's a good technique, point out that all of the people who were in business with Hunter were crooks, and so their testimony against him should be discounted. How did Hunter, the smartest guy Joe Biden knows, end up in business with all of these crooks?

Back when Archer was in good standing with the DoJ, his conviction was overturned on the grounds that he had no intention to defraud those people. But it seems like once he turned on his business partner, the full weight of the law has come back down on his head.

Does anybody see a pattern here? I am not talking about he pattern of life long Republicans defending the corrupt Biden family and their influence peddling racket, I am talking about how if you make an enemy of Joe Biden, you end up facing prison somehow. Joe Biden even sent the DoJ after Jill's ex-husband because he ignored a warning accompanied by a threat to do what Joe wanted in her divorce settlement.

Can you imagine waking up every day believing that you have to defend Joe Biden and his merry band of racketeers, you know like James, and according to Politico, even Beau, before you even get to Hunter?


“Don’t worry about investors,” he said, according to the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation. “We've got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden. According to the executive, James Biden made it clear he viewed the fund as a way to take money from rich foreigners who could not legally give money to his older brother or his campaign account. ”We’ve got investors lined up in a line of 747s filled with cash ready to invest in this company,” the executive remembers James Biden saying. - https://www.politico.eu/article/joe-biden-presidential-bid-family-business-history-democrats/

There has always been stink around Joe Biden since his career first started when a wildcat strike prevented a newspaper ad from being delivered listing his corruption in Delaware two days before the election. A strike said to have been organized by the mob. But the Bidens are innocent victims in all of this. Just ask gadfly. Or you could read the exhaustively researched Politico story for the other side of the story.

tim in vermont said...

Remember when W gave Hunter, fresh out of college, a $90K per year seat on the board of Amtrak? Remember when Hunter complained on the laptop that his dad took half his earnings?

People keep forgetting about how Hunter commiserated with his sister about how Joe took half of their "earnings" on the authenticated laptop. This is because Joe knew that without his political influence, the kids had nothing to sell. Even Hunter's paintings were bought by people who later received favors from Joe. At leas the buyers that have been identified. Remember that they were going to keep them secret to avoid any appearance of wrongdoing? LOL.

Here is a photo of Joe Biden meeting with one of Hunter's clients, a kleptocrat who stole hundreds of millions of dollars from Kazakhstan, you know where Borat supposedly came from, and was looking for a way to launder it. Happy ending, he invested it in bio-labs in Ukraine!

https://nypost.com/2020/10/20/photo-biden-meets-hunters-alleged-partner-from-kazakhstan/

But if Devon Archer claims that Joe met with Hunter's clients, he's a liar, and this photo is a liar too.

In the words of Wise Whitney Houston before she died from drowning in her bathtub following a drug overdose:

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me


I believe. I believe that sex changes are our future. Cut them well and let them lead the way. And so I learned to depend on them.

Absurdist Monday.

Thanks, again. Appreciate it!

"The Department of Justice caused a outcry this weekend when it filed a notice to a federal court on a Saturday that it should move ahead and order the jailing of Hunter Biden’s former business associate and friend, Devon Archer. That came less than 48 hours before Archer was scheduled to give potentially explosive testimony on the Biden corruption scandal. The Justice Department decided that the matter was so urgent that it required a weekend filing before Archer testifies. The optics could not be worse and many took the letter as an effort to intimidate Archer. Then the next day the Justice Department sent a second letter to the court saying it can wait to arrest him after he testifies." https://jonathanturley.org/2023/07/31/doj-to-devon-archer-go-ahead-and-testify-and-then-we-can-jail-you/#more-207903

Drago said...

LLR-democratical and Violent Homosexual Rage Rape Fantasist Chuck is quite desperate and and even more insistent that no one, anywhere, discuss anything related to Hunter Biden's role in helping Joe Biden and the entire Biden family sell influence and US policy to the highest bidder.

Protecting the entire corrupt Biden clan is another of those odd ways LLR-democratical Chuck insists is necessary to help us "conserve conservatism".

Surrendering wholesale to the democraticals across all social policy areas is another LLR-democratical Chuck preferred "strategy" to "conserve conservatism".

Come to think of it, there is not a single policy area discussed over the last 8 years where Chuck didn't advocate strongly for the dems position...to "conserve conservatism".

You know, its almost as if Chuck isn't really interested in "conserving conservatism" at all.

Coincidently, the effort by leftist billionaires to fund online efforts whereby fake conservatives attempt to undermine conservative candidates and policy continues apace.

Many will recall how lefty billionaire Reid Hoffman had to admit in court to funding just that sort of an effort in 2018 and its only grown.

Snip: "Hoffman invested $750,000 in one group, American Engagement Technologies, or AET, according to a person close to the matter but not authorized to discuss Hoffman’s spending. Hoffman’s statement Wednesday referred to AET, which has been linked to a campaign to spread disinformation targeting Moore."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/12/26/internet-billionaire-reid-hoffman-apologizes-funding-group-behind-disinformation-alabama-race/

"Disinformation"? Targeting a conservative? By having online fake conservatives pushing disinformation?

Lets see now, looking back just a little, what do we find? Oh yes, LLR-democratical Chuck proudly declaring 1 of his key reasons for posting at Althouse was to smear and lie about Trump and conservatives...while advancing democratical policies...

"Coincidences" abound.

"Moral of the story: Powerful Democrats can do whatever they want to get rich while sucking off the public teat because they love big government but Republicans who are capitalists, and who have policies to give power, freedom, and money back to the people, must be stopped because they are the threat to the leftist agenda and the powerful bureaucracy, the deep state.

On a related note:

The media and prosecutors are now worried about who is paying Trump's legal bills on their multiple witch hunts."

I must say, given we have just found out about 170 (yes, you read that number correctly, 170) Suspicious Activity Reports that have been submitted to the Treasury Dept by multiple major banking institutions including Wells Fargo, Morgan, BoA, etc, related to Biden family corruption, isn't it a strange time for someone like LLR-democratical and Violent Homosexual Rage Rape Fantasist Chuck to begin screeching at everyone to leave the Biden's alone?

No question about it: the MOST dangerous place to be in the US today is standing between LLR-democratical Chuck and a democratical that needs to be politically shielded to hide corruption.

Chuck goes Full Mama Bear to protect his democratical "cubs"....

....to "conserve conservatism"...naturally.

Researches reviewing the Patterson-Gimlin(1) film determined "he" was actually a "she"(2) with ample breasts under the fur. So apparently a Sasquatch needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle(3).


(1) Yes, I know the film was later shown to have been faked by Roger Patterson, but work with me here.
(2) Unfortunately, they were unable to ask Sasquatch for their pronouns, so I am assuming "she".
(3) She could be in the sequel to Obama's "The Life of Julia".

The DoJ letter regarding Devon Archer, issued Saturday...

I've quoted the only truthful part of Chuck's other lying rant. There is no reason for this letter other than to mintimidate the witness, even if it was misunderstood by some as a "report on Monday" missive, Chuckie can never explain WHY they took the extraordinary step of issuing such a thing on a Saturday, not a day the DOJ usually works. In fact Chuckie cannot find one other letter issued on a weekend like this, especially not to a witness before Congress.

And the DOJ itself this morning refuted Chuckie the lying shitweasel by issuing a "clarification" letter letter explicating that they meant "report to jail AFTER the Congressional testimony." Why the need to clarify what was so fucking clear already, according to Chuckster? Because it was extraordinary and it was intimidating and it backfired.

The testimony is on the record now by Archer that the Big Guy represented the Biden Brand and that's what they were selling and it in fact saved Burisma from bankruptcy. Sorry Chuckie. Your hero Joe is just as big a lying shitweasel as you are. Now stop picking on people you consider deplorable just because they have a speech impediment. My years of teaching special ed students gave me a good ear. The man said "jail" twice. Which sounded more like "yale" because of his condition. After you apologize for part 1 you can do part 2.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

TrumpWorld's unending obsession with all things "JOE Biden"

FIFY shitweasel. All roads lead to Joe. Hunter is simply the thread we're pulling to unravel the stupid cover story. You already are aware that everyone except those named "Biden" who worked with CEFC are either missing, under indictment or already dead. Please explain the legal theory behind that kind of partnership that yields that kind of hit-or-miss culpability.

By the way, has Joe or Hunter or Jim or the other payees in the family ever registered as a foreign agents as they should under FARA or do you reserve those laws for use only on "Trumpworld" as you call it?
