Achilles said...: RFK's VP running mate talks about the tactics used by the Democrat administration and party to attack them.

Democrats are evil people. Just flat out dishonest and manipulative and acting in bad faith at every turn.

And RFK will most likely be endorsing Trump. RFK is way to the left of 1990's Bill Clinton on almost every issue.; 8/20/24, 8:12 PM
Lucien said...: There’s been a lie circulating for several months that shooting deaths are the highest cause of death among American children. It turns out that this claim is based on calling people children when they are not, specifically 18 and 19 year old adults. This lie has been debunked countless times.

RCOCEAN II said...: Got dragged into watching Hello Dolly again. I thought this movie was dead and buried but its 29 dollars on blue-ray and the Striesand fans never die or wise up. Gene Kelly directed and does a terrible job. This is the man who did all those wonderful dance routines in "On the Town" and "Singing in the Rain", but here its just an army of people jumping and prancing around.

The movie LOOKS great. Huge number of extras, period coustums (sic), great set design, a huge marching band. All the money is up there on the screen, they forgot to cast the movie right, tell any funny jokes, or sing any good songs except for....Hello Dolly. 2.5 hours of relentless mediocrity. Not to mention Striesand and Matthau (supposedly in love!) look absurd in 1890s clothes. No wonder these old timey musicals went the way of the Dodo bird. No; 8/20/24, 8:33 PM
RCOCEAN II said...: What a relief, after suffering through that, to watch the movie i wanted: The Bandwagon, with Fred Astaire. Less than 2 hours, a great "Girl Hunter" Jazz dance, some humor and "Thats Entertainment". I probably cost 1/3 of what "Hello Dolly" and was 3x as enjoyable.; 8/20/24, 8:37 PM
Inga said...: Oh man, he must be desperate. Totally believable, lol. So, was he lying back then or is he lying now?

“Speaking to CNN in Detroit, the Republican nominee said that he personally liked Obama, describing him as a "nice gentleman" but added that he felt Obama was weak on trade.

"Take a look at Japan, take a look at China, take at look at some of these countries and what they did," Trump told CNN's Kristen Holmes. "But I happen to like him. I respect him and I respect his wife."

"I want him to show his birth certificate... There's something on that birth certificate that he doesn't like," Trump told The View in March 2011. A month later, with Trump beating the drum on what became known as "birtherism," the White House released Obama's long-form birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii, hoping to quell the conspiracy theory.; 8/20/24, 8:39 PM

Gospace said...: Watched a little bit with the sound off. Unless you find yourself widowed at age 39 you should be out of the dating scene and firmly attached to a significant other- for at least 12 years. Especially as a woman. Because age 27 is when fertility begins to rapidly decline if a woman hasn't already had children. Reality 101- same isn't true of men. At 39 if they've played their cards right- they're into their peak earning years. They have their pick of 24-27 year old women unless they're obese and ugly. And if they have enough money- even those handicaps aren't a real obstacle.

Realities of life are cruel. Even to men. Seems 80% of young women are all trying to date the same 10% of the men. From their own age on up. Men are looking for women the same age or less.

Just had our 47th anniversary. At 23 for me, 21 for her, we removed ourselves from the dating pool. Well, sort of- but from then on we only dated each other. The longer you wait to make a commitment to someone of the opposite sex, the less likely you are to find someone to commit back. Again with reality 101- especially for a woman.

Was I the perfect man or her the perfect women? No. But- we both fell into the category of "good enough" for each other.

3 of my 5 children are married and likely to stay that way. My eldest chose poorly. Didn't follow my advice and dump her before marriage. For different reasons then my wife and siblings gave to him. Mine was simple statistics- she smoked, he didn't. In order of divorce frequency, 1. female smoker, male non-smoker- usually initiated by the woman 2. Both smoke 3. male smoker- female non-smoker 4. both are non-smokers.

I'm fairly certain the same statistics apply to drug use and tattoos. But oddly, not alcohol use... or even alcohol abuse.

Child #5 appears to be choosing wisely as far as that goes.; 8/20/24, 8:46 PM

Inga said...: RFK Jr tried to run that same game on the Harris campaign on August 15, lol. They wouldn’t give him the time of day.

“Robert F Kennedy Jr, the beleaguered independent presidential candidate, reached out to the Kamala Harris campaign last week to discuss dropping out of the race and endorsing the Democrat, according to multiple reports.

Kennedy attempted to set up a meeting with Harris to propose him serving in her administration, possibly as a cabinet secretary, in exchange for his endorsement, the Washington Post reported.

Several outlets said that the Harris team did not respond to the approach from Kennedy, whose long-shot campaign is floundering following a series of controversies.”

Aggie said...: Seriously, a picture of a sunrise, and you're not only talking yet once again about someone you claim to hate, but you're dredging up rumored quotes from 13 years ago to support your tirade?? Honestly Inga, you've become infatuated. Infatuated. Admit it - you're secretly in love with him, and plan to experience the thrill, the absolute terrifying rebellious thrill, of voting Republican this November.

There's no need to be frightened, Inga. You're among friends here.; 8/20/24, 9:05 PM
walter said...: This is culled from a Newsweek article Inga decided not to link to.

Also there:
"In late 2023, Trump joined other conservatives in claiming Obama was the one running the country, not President Biden.
"Obama has plenty to deal with. I call him, I call him Biden's boss," Trump said at a campaign event in October 2023."

Pedo Pete called him "President my boss"
