North Carolina GOP's New Power Grab Is A ‘Recipe For Disaster’ For Elections, Too

Reminds me of a recent biography I read about Clementine Churchill, Sir Winston’s wife, who despised her son Randolph for some of those same reasons, plus that he was a gambler, a heavy drinker, and insufferably rude and even cruel to other people, especially when he had been drinking. She once slapped him, hard – in public, I think, but I forget the exact provocation.

In the article it said orca don’t eat mammals. I guess the mean mammal muscle tissue because there was that bit about eating liver.

A massive volcanic eruption can do it – and has, on occasion.

And you are right – particulates would not respect borders.

There was a segment about this sort of thing on an NPR program a month or two ago. The central subject was orcas messing with fishing boats – I forget exactly where, I think somewhere in the Atlantic near the Mediterranean Sea. But they also mentioned this bit about orcas balancing salmon on their heads some decades ago, behavior that died out for a while and then came back. They said it was always groups of juvenile males showing this sort of behavior, and scientists think is a form of play among orcas – you know, teenage males doing stupid things to amuse themselves. It seems the form of the play is subject to re-occurring fads, like balancing a fish on your head…

Which is why those who refuse to vote, along with the 80 million who voted for sanity, must now suffer the consequences of a terrible administration and dictatorial dickhead.

Sometimes pain and misery are required to get people to wake the fuck up.

Being WOKE means you’re not a fucking idiot.

A little something for your Sarurday reading… from ABCnews…

"WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar.

His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates."
… … … … … … …
I happen to like Ethiopian grown coffee and it is already expensive.

I think the orcas know humans are watching so they do it to mess with us. Orcas are very intelligent critters.

Okay, i may be missing something.

But as a punster…

Jerky.

I’m not understanding how our current government is not overtly active in protecting us from this “takeover” (I cannot call it a transition)

It appears that we are just going to lie down and play dead

Explain it to me please, like I’m a 4th grader.

You’re guidance counselor is looking for the safe. Also is that a candy bar?

That was shark liver, as I recall. Apparently, orcas consider shark liver and blue whale tongue to be delicacies. They’ll go for a blue whale’s tongue before anything else. Poor whale! (Hold it – doesn’t Hannibal Lecter go for tongue and liver, with chianti?)

Not only Kash Patel as FBI nominee. Charles Kushner (yeah, Jared’s felony-pardoned dad) for one of the most coveted ambassadorships: France.

Has he announced his apportionment to the Court of St. James? AKA the UK?

I know the answer.

He is going to appoint Ivanka.

And the GOP will roll over.
