You need to get a new doctor. He wasn't doing a colonoscopy.; 10/7/26, 7:05 PM

Josephbleau said...: In our condo built in 1990, all the windows were stuck because proprietary plastic stops were broken or stuck and the screens were torn. I called the original architecture firm and they looked it up for me and gave me the name of the company that put them in. They came last month and were able to find the old replacement parts and replaced them all, and they slide perfectly and fixed all the screens. Now I don’t just run the air all the time, and the fall breeze is wonderful. I’m good for another 30 years!

Simple pleasures.; 10/7/26, 7:32 PM

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...: Trump threatens to ‘terminate’ top campaign advisers after revelation of work for pro-Russia Bosnia party ~ NY Post

The problem isn’t that his advisers are helping Russian interests in the Balkans. After all, nobody is more pro-Russia - I mean pro-Putin - than Trump. The problem is that it’s become public in the U.S.; 10/7/26, 8:11 PM
Achilles said...: Quebec is leaving Canada. Alberta is leaving Canada.

France is collapsing. AfD is winning elections in Germany.

The UK is falling apart.

Spain's government is trying to keep itself from going to jail.

And the retard is trying to push the Russian Collusion hoax again.

They are just dumb people.; 10/7/26, 8:21 PM

You lie. Nothing but lies.
It's you leftist soviets who adore Putin.; 10/7/26, 8:32 PM

3 of the 7 merely walked in the room where the sex was taking place - and then left?
Amanda Marcotte is a total fraud.; 10/7/26, 10:14 PM
Peachy+2 said...: "How is this about “Trumpism,” though? Cornell is a hive of leftism, and the area (Tompkins County) voted 74 percent for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The local DA is a Democrat, as are nearly all the administration and faculty of the university, who conducted the Title IX investigation of Chi Phi. There are no “MAGA faithful” implicated in the case. "

Jamie said...: As we were passing through Portland on our way to Seattle the other day, we passed a car sporting bumper stickers that, among other things, read "Normal people don't vote for rapists" and "MAGA is a death cult." I was mostly inadvertantly mouthing "Oh, f off" out the passenger window as we passed the driver, who, predictably, was a middle-aged woman with aggressively spiked electric blue hair. She happened to glance at me as I mouthed the words.

I was instantly abashed and a little nervous - did she read my lips? Was she unhinged and likely to come after us? (We have, after all, Texas plates.)

Then I realized that, first, my husband drives faster than almost anyone in the coastal PNW and we'd already left her in the dust, and second, she didn't have the balls, no matter what she might tell herself.

I don't tell myself that I would go after anyone who dared to disagree with my opinions; I would be fine with listening to them and even attempting a debate if they were willing. It happens all the time. So it doesn't matter that I have neither the literal nor the figurative balls to come after a car containing a person who adamantly disagrees with me.; 10/7/26, 11:17 PM
Jim at said...: *"Normal people don't vote for rapists" and "MAGA is a death cult."*

Remember the post the other day regarding talking to strangers? Do we or don't we?

Well, this is why I don't. I'm surrounded by these nutjobs.; 10/7/26, 11:21 PM

wendybar said...: "On the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, comedian, actor, and content creator Zach Sage Fox teamed up with Montana Tucker to show young Americans the reality of the massacre, a necessary exercise in a culture too willing to excuse terrorism when its perpetrators claim oppression. Many were quick to condemn Israel, but few knew anything about the initial attack, a brutal indictment of both our culture and the American education system. He then brought out a virtual reality headset and had them watch the harrowing footage of October 7.
For many, the footage was an eye-opening experience that challenged what they thought they knew about the war between Israel and Hamas.
Thankfully, most responded with the critical thought the subject demands. They questioned what they believed, asked why the media they consumed had left this part of the story untold, actually listened to the survivors, and reconsidered their views."

Just think. Willingly engaging in 3, not 2 threesomes in one night...and then she claims rape?? Actions have consequences and this girl seems to have been the one doing what SHE wanted.; 10/8/26, 2:42 AM
Saint Croix said...: Talarico disappears from the campaign trail for a week. And his campaign is literally recycling old campaign footage from March and pretending like it’s happening now. He got mocked for this on the internet. Suddenly his campaign admits that he has the flu.

Worst case, something else is going on. He’s in jail in Tijuana. He got lost in the woods with his favorite drag queen. Could be anything.

Best case? He has the flu, and he lied about it. Way to remind the world of Joe Biden and all his lies. Dark Brandon says, “What? Who? I am not a drag queen. Where’s my library?”; 10/8/26, 5:02 AM
Humperdink said...: It’s been reported Talarico has been sidelined with a yeast infection.; 10/8/26, 5:32 AM
Saint Croix said...: the ghost

Trump says the vegan ate too much meat on the campaign trail, and he's sidelined by all the vomit.

"I am not a vegan," the ghost says. "I am proud that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign. We are only buying vegan products."

People don't like the AI ad, allegedly. I thought it was kind of funny. Are they mad because it's fake, or are they mad because it's too damn real?

Arguably the Spencer Pratt AI videos hurt his campaign. I still thought they were funny. Way funnier than Trump's severed head, for instance.; 10/8/26, 5:54 AM

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: **No one on the left should be allowed any further sustenance from Capitalism.**

True. If we had an honest Media then every candidate who poses as “anti-capitalist” would be asked what tools and technologies their campaign uses that are made without any Capitalist components or parts?

Surely they can name one or two useful technologies that are purely created with Socialist technology and more importantly without the corrupting nature of dirty capitalist processes.

Just their favorite three anti-capitalist technologies. Easy!; 10/8/26, 6:26 AM

Achilles said...: When you realize that Feminism was all about getting household money in the hands of women and "empowering" women to make financial and shopping decisions you have taken your first step.

Why would the government and the largest corporations want women in control of household money?

Just watch some TV commercials and the dots will connect.; 10/8/26, 7:20 AM

What Cornell Teaches Its Students About Sex.
"They taught me group sex was fun, and all I got was this lousy reputation."

i've been thinking about Andrea Dworkin. Anyone remember her?
she was a morbidly obese manhating lesbian (back at the turn of the century, when morbidly obese manhating lesbians WEREN'T Cool)
anyway, she famously said that:
ALL hetero-porn was Rape, because..
ANY penetration by a man was Rape!
not some, not most, ALL and ANY penetration by a man.
The LEAST it could be was that the woman collaborated the rape.
*itallics*
women who defend their right to enjoy heterosexual sex are branded "collaborators, more base than other collaborators have ever been: experiencing pleasure in their own inferiority."
*/itallics*

anyway; back then Most people dismissed her, as a morbidly obese manhating lesbian; and quickly forgot about her when she died (of morbid obesity)

BUT NOW!
think about our modren world. Think about Jane Doe.
Saying that she "consented" is JUST saying she collaborated
(AT THE TIME).

Later.. when her actions were Explained to her by right thinking women; she Realized that SHE had been HORRIBLY misused..
By Dirty Stinking EVIL MEN! (curses be upon them All!!)

Andrea Dworkin has been dead for More Than 20 years...
But she's WON. it is now ILLEGAL to penetrate ANY woman that refuses to continue her collaboration

here's an obit, from back in 2005

Christopher B said...: "Suddenly his (Talarico's) campaign admits that he has the flu."

My understanding is the statement they issued identified the date he first sought care as September 28, which raises the question of how and when he did so because he was at a fundraising dinner in New York City on September 28.; 10/8/26, 7:33 AM

Jaq said...: That’s old news, Peachy. Trump has been co-opted just like the Tea Party was, and not only that, but the establishment is using the Republican Party the same way they are using Ukraine, as an expendable battering ram to hold onto power and destroy threat to their power by ordinary Americans organizing in opposition, which is what Trump used to be about.; 10/8/26, 9:30 AM
