Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Big claim via X: Dawn Engoron, the wife of the judge in Trump’s NY civil case tweeted this, and then locked her account:

Gag for thee but not for me...; 11/8/23, 5:46 PM
Mutaman said...: “We did great against him [Biden]. I believe we won by a tremendous amount. We have proof of it. We’re releasing the proof. And you’ll see that proof, it’ll come up a lot in the next few months,” Trump concluded.

"In the next few months"- its what you've all been waiting for.; 11/8/23, 6:43 PM
Limited blogger said...: Vivek calls out the all of the media, NBC in particular, and Kristen Welker specifically.

Says they are unaccountable, and they need to come clean.

Truly brilliant.; 11/8/23, 7:11 PM
Limited blogger said...: Vivek just called Nicki: 'Dick Cheney in 3 inch heels'.

Brutal.; 11/8/23, 7:18 PM
Limited blogger said...: Haley parried Ramaswammy's attack humorously. Said they were 5 inch heels, and she can run in them.

So good for her.; 11/8/23, 7:22 PM
Mutaman said...: Yusef Salaam, of the Central Park 5, wins a NYC council seat. Trump wanted him executed once.; 11/8/23, 7:29 PM
Limited blogger said...: No new ground being broken in this debate.

I'm calling it a tie.

So, Trump is first, and these 5 finish 2nd.; 11/8/23, 8:12 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: So Glorious!; 11/8/23, 8:45 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Trump will give us 4 more years of Biden. So sad.; 11/8/23, 8:46 PM
Maynard said...: The GOPe will work to make sure Trump loses in 2024. That is the only way they can sell their tired old bullshit to people who know who and what the democrats are.

I wonder if I will live long ( 70 now) enough to see the US turn into a Kurt Schlichter novel.; 11/8/23, 9:32 PM
The Crack Emcee said...: Vivek had a moment; 11/8/23, 9:33 PM
Mutaman said...: Really have to give Dave Begley credit for nailing what a great candidate Ramaswamy was going to be. Kudos Dave. I think Althouse was on his bandwagon for a time as well.; 11/8/23, 11:20 PM
effinayright said...: I laughed out loud when the two Indians on the debate stage hissed curses at each other.

Nikki called Vivek "scum"!

But it would have been much more entertaining if she yelled, "You filthy dalit, don't you dare speak of my daughter---and keep your caste-polluting shadow off me!!; 11/9/23, 12:12 AM

As part of the certification process, aircraft manufacturers are required to demonstrate that an aircraft, in maximum density configuration, can be completely evacuated within 90 seconds using only half of the total number of emergency exits.; 11/9/23, 12:35 AM

For years, in Matamoros, Mexico, directly across the border from Brownsville, Tx, Hamas had a training center. Once a large factory, the building was used to train young, military age men. Dressed in all black, these men would wait for the river to be low enough to cross over the border and illegally infiltrate the US for further training. Hamas has training camps in Mexico, and has for a long time.

Thousands of jihadists have crossed the border and disappeared into the US. Some given rooms and cell phones (courtesy of your tax dollars). Many have been flown to multiple cities through out the United States including Hartford, Tampa, Atlanta and Houston. The majority that travels into this country illegally are not women and children, they are military age men.

America needs to wake up. Thousands of sleeper fighters are in our backyard and the Biden Administration is not only aware, they’re complicit. The attack on Israel is only the beginning. Get your households in order.

wendybar said...: It's almost like it is all planned out, and the useful idiots comply with glee....

"Over the last month, we've seen a lot of anti-Israel marches with lots of flags and placards. Every time I see the marches on TV I ask two questions. First, who is making all of these placards? They don't look like stuff made in college dorms. Second, do they have flag making factories in our college campuses or is there a warehouse full of them? In other words, none of these marches look spontaneous to me. And the marchers all seem to be briefed with the same talking points!"

wendybar said...: "Why do the FBI and DOJ treat patriotic Americans as enemies and anti-American zealots as friends? Because the federal government understands that a movement for American liberty is the only real threat to an all-powerful State. Freedom is the eternal enemy of tyranny. And Washington, D.C., is filled to the brim with tyrants."

His photo -- with an ejected case in mid air -- became a Falling Down meme overnight. Look for T-shirts, mugs, and bumper stickers very soon. Look for copycats too? Patience is wearing thin.; 11/9/23, 5:49 AM

"Yusef Salaam, of the Central Park 5, wins a NYC council seat. Trump wanted him executed once."

Leaving out Yusef Salaam and his friends are guilty makes that sound bad.; 11/9/23, 7:13 AM

The FBI was caught spying on President Trump

The FBI raided Mar a Lago

The FBI kills Veterans at their homes in surprise raids

The FBI storms the houses of pro-life protestors

So what does the GOP do?

Give them a new HQ bigger than the Pentagon

FBI needs REFORM not rewards

I don’t know why everyone is so surprised a Democrat was re-elected Governor in Kentucky

They’ve had a Democrat Senator for decades; 11/9/23, 7:38 AM

Mike of Snoqualmie said...: Surprise, surprise! Electric snow plows don't work! Electric snow plows, and other electric vehicles, do not reduce CO2 emissions, they merely change the location of those emissions.

Our Climate Crisis governor, Jay Inslee, wants to convert all of our ferries to either hybrid or all electric power. No ferry contractor will build such ferries for what WADOT wants to pay for them. Gov. Climate Crisis jets off to all climate conferences he can find, thereby contributing to the nonexistent disaster he's always preaching against.

Electric ferries are floating infernos waiting to happen. Battery fires are impossible to put out. Damage to the batteries from either a collision of simple overcharging could cause the batteries to ignite. Unless there was some trap door under the batteries, the ferry's going to sink, requiring the evacuation of all aboard and the loss of all vehicles.; 11/9/23, 8:46 AM

JUST IN: The man who went viral for having a meltdown after a Republican poll greeter said hi to him, has been exposed as Brendan Anthony Martin according to
@MarcoPolo501c3
.

Here is where things get interesting.

In 2018 while former President Trump was hosting a "Celebration of America" after disinviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House, he was heckled by a booing audience member.

The heckler? Brendan Anthony Martin as noted by
@MarcoPolo501c3
.

The heckler was captured by a photographer yelling at Trump (Image next to video below).

"Stop hiding behind the armed services and the National Anthem. Let's hear it for the Eagles," Martin reportedly shouted at the time.

It gets even worse.

Martin is a full time technical administrator for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) foster care system according to his LinkedIn account.

This man should be nowhere near kids.

Huh? Nikki comes from a Sikh family, and the Sikh generally don’t believe in the caste system. And Vivek comes from a Brahmin family, anyway.; 11/9/23, 11:30 AM
effinayright said...: @ Rocco:

Was joke, not meant to be based on fact.

In any case, calling a Brahmin a dalit would have been a real thigh-slapper.; 11/9/23, 12:49 PM
