Yeah but did you just finish a 3.5 km run this morning like this 68 years young hunk?

Kidding about the hunk part.

That doesn’t look ordered ā€œup.ā€ It looks ordered sideways.

I’m sometimes accused of not looking my age (72) cuz other than my grey beard there are no wrinkles on my face.

And all of this time I’ve been thinking that Alex Jones and Steve Bannon were the same person. Oops! :blush:

I have no idea whether Greitens is aware of it, but to anyone with even a passing knowledge of the history of Nazism like mine, his use of the phrase ā€œstab in the backā€ here is pretty much the rhetorical equivalent of waving a Nazi flag.

Most people who read my comments put my age between 8 and 12.

That’s true for me, too.

That disgraced Eric Greitens is in the running for Republican candidate for US Senate tells you all you need to know about just how far the Republican party has fallen. He is a monster. A real predator.

The other night Brian Williams referred to Bannon as a ā€œmen’s grooming icon.ā€ Now I laugh each time I see Bannon’s face.

Seeing as Bannon has money and connections and a radio show he likely will be released on his own recognizance to resume his life as though zip had happened. If there were fair justice he might be held as a flight risk but fair justice is a pipe dream.

I’ve always wondered why that particular aspect of the pardon hasn’t been discussed more. It seems something of an important bit to me.

On the other hand, as much as many of us, myself included, would love to write Trump off as an incompetent showman, I can’t help but wonder if that doesn’t mean we should pay more attention to the people that didn’t receive pardons.

Steve Bannon attacks our democracy and incites violence every day. And millions of people listen to him. And elected Republicans are afraid to call him out.

Given that the charge is only a misdemeanor, he will undoubtedly be released pending trial.

OT: Sorta…
Climate Change is a threat multiplier because it fosters pandemics and mass migrations of people from warmer regions to cooler regions where more food and jobs are available, not to mention space in which to live. This situation will not improve as sea levels continue to rise and temperatures increase unabated.

Microbes thrive in warm moist climates and sequestered microbes locked away in the permafrost are escaping. There will be more pandemics if we don’t take immediate action.

From Josh Marshall:

ā€œFor now, let’s focus on the fact that stresses on governments across the globe and efforts to reassemble what’s been broken or knocked off kilter (supply chains, economies, etc.) by the COVID Pandemic is driving a more volatile, dangerous and confrontational climate between states. If we think there are lots of problems at home, the situation beyond our borders is no better and no less dangerous.ā€

I keep my beard trimmed somewhat but I haven’t visited a barber since 1986. My hair got quite long. but as I aged my hair …for some reason … got shorter of its own accord. To where my pony tail is about 2 and a half ā€œfistsā€ long. It used to extend to my lower back.
