Cornyn and his campaign posted tweets Tuesday morning attacking Paxton for saying the arrests and vacancy declarations might be difficult to carry out — just before Cornyn released his letter to the FBI. Hours later, Paxton announced he’d get the courts involved in declaring the Dem seats vacant.

Not from Fox. But definitely in their Q-whatever feeds.

If Donald wants any Democratic votes for the budget (and he might be cause the business community presumptively cares about that) then he can only have them after he has resurrected a program or ten – EPA, NOA, USAID, etc.

It’s highly preferable to three and a half years of the deliberate destruction of government.

Loopner’s Disease.
Like the late Mr. Loopner (G-d rest his soul), Donald was born without a spine.
(They keep him curled up in a basket next to the ol’ Norge in the White House kitchen. Now let me make you some nice egg-salad sandwiches!)

Donald’s version would bear as much resemblance to the original film as his concrete slab does to the original Rose Garden

Tell that one to John Kerry…
Sweeney is not going to be married by anyone for her brains.

(Come to think of it, “a guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look on his face because his insides had just been kicked out” is pretty damn close to how I feel these days, on an average day.)

Agree. Besides that she is hawking American Eagle jeans. Cheap crap.
Real Americans with status and star power wear Levi jeans which are made in San Francisco where the real people wear flowers in their hair and dream of freedom and the true pursuit of happiness.

Two points: Nobody really cares, and only the imbeciles are paying attention to this. Also, Sydney Sweeney is not a good actress, and she definitely is not a natural blonde.

Oh my fucking god, you went there. You literally went to your tribal safe space. jesus fucking christ can’t you see that your knee-jerk “I am woman hear me roar” bullshit is just another way they divide you? Congratulations, though. You managed to turn a comment about the largely useless, lame, weak, ineffective and clueless response to fascist tyranny into a “women will save us” rant. Jesus we are so fucked. So utterly fucked.
I still love this….
Yeah, my emotions just take over. Can’t hide it. And why should I?

Amazing no one here has made the connection to the original Calvin Klein ad featuring Brooke Shields, age 15 (!!). A campaign by Richard Avedon in 1980.
The ad that Sydney Sweeney recreates is at 4:00, but the whole set is worth watching. The campaign was exceedingly controversial at the time for a whole different set of reasons. None of them racist, interestingly. The Sweeney ad snapped me back to 1980 and triggered all my reactions to the Calvin Klein ad.

I saw what you did there, Kate Riga. Nice play on words

On the Sydney Sweeney tempest-in-a-teapot, I’d like to note a few things:
- The American Eagle ad is based on a pun that is as old as neo-Mendelian genetics. (Denim jeans were invented by Levi Strauss around 1873, Gregor Mendel published a little earlier,in 1866. The pun was created in potentio when the term gene was coined by Johannsen around 1910. The originator of the pun is lost to history.)
- Sydney Sweeney has my respect for identifying the career she wanted, pursuing it, and succeeding at it. I’ve seen some of her work on film, and she is “easy on the eyes” and a persuasive actress. None of those things are on my list of prerequisites for being interested in her political beliefs in any way. (I’d actually like to see her do a role that I know reasonably well, like Vivian Bearing in W;t. Then I could make a better judgement on her art as an interpreter. So far, the things I’ve seen her in are roles she originated and no one else has interpreted.)
- Fox is blowing this nonsense up to distract from DonOLD Drumpf’s probable deep involvement in La Cage aux Epstein. I’ll note that it doesn’t seem to be working on any level except that other media outlets have grabbed the shiny object.

Silly. The oligarchs who own this country can’t allow that. Ever. And they’ve been winning hands down since 1973.

Besides, Sydney doesn’t mind being uncovered.
To quote the Divine Miss Midler, “I’m living proof: big tits mean big bucks!” (From her stand-up comedy CD, Mud Will Be Flung Tonight.)
