18 years, thousands dead or maimed for life, $750,000,000,000 BILLION spent on fighting 7th century tribal goat ‘herders’.
Let that place rot. Or send in the bill krystol brigade or the mas boot division. Such brave soldiers, those neo-cons.

I’ve been out all day so didn’t see Trump’s presser. Hubby was dancing on the ceiling, apparently Anthony Fauci just GUTTED a reported who accused Trump of silencing him. Anybody see it?

The 9th Circus Court just over-ruled itself
The judges voted 2:1 to invalidate the two policies — an asylum reform and the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) — on Friday.
But the judges suspended their own decision after the Department of Justice pointed out that at least 25,000 migrants who are waiting in Mexico might rush for the border and overwhelm security procedures.
yeah, figuring that one out was a stretch

AP is reporting that Steyer is getting out tonite. I don’t get it, he came in 3rd.
Steyer is out. And the last count I saw showed him in SECOND place w/17%, Sanders in 3rd w/12%

And that’s NEWS to who, exactly? Hell, I would never have given odds he’d come in 2nd in SC
ok, this makes more sense
Biden 49%
Sanders 20%
Steyer 11%
Bootyjudge 8%
Lieawatha 7%
91% reporting.

Ah, not to worry! It’s an open primary. A lot of Trump people voted for Bernie because that’s who they think will be easy to beat. “Operation Chaos” on a small scale

A divisive Bernie narrative, built upon the image of toxicity, is needed for a DNC convention where the Socialist wing will come to the convention with a great deal of delegates. Positioning the Sanders coalition as extreme and incapable of governing will play well for the votes of the Super-delegates who could ultimately decide the nominee.

Bernie Bros are going after South Carolina black voters. The ‘kindest’ thing they say is ‘uninformed’ all the way to “. it may be necessary mobilize and discourage certain Black voters from turning out”.
I can only imagine what the convention will look like if he doesn’t get the nomination

Buttigieg is out
Interesting news briefs today on my Alexa. Some news thing called “The Conversation” says that the military must be reduced by over 75% because it’s the worlds largest polluter, and AP news has put out a release stating that human methane production is way higher than previously thought so “Global warming….” So, you know what the solution to that particular problem is.
Watermelon enviros are basically announcing that they want human extinction on mainstream media now.

This guy has some experience in China and altho the piece is an analysis of why things like Wuhan happen, I found the most illuminating parts are the descriptions of – well, just being there

Split pants are (or at least were, back then) pants the children wear that are open in the crotch area. That allows them to urinate or defecate unobstructed, onto the street or wherever they may be.
.

Either way, I distinctly remember my brand new Nike slip-ons (probably made not far from where I was standing) sloshing into a mix of urine
.
.
. I watched a man hock up something from his chest and spit it on the floor, right next to us, in a restaurant.
.
.
Then, my wife and I had to rush our newly adopted, 8-month-old daughter to the public hospital…and suddenly it all started making sense.
As we stepped in more urine, took our number from the print-out machine, walked past the line of children whining and crying from the scalp IVs in their heads, then rushed to clean up blood and mucus (left by the last patient) on the plastic table they were now laying our baby on, then waited on the ONE overworked doctor (attending to no less than three hundred people) try to round up a basic anti-biotic to administer to my daughter (right there on site – no refills)

Pete Buttigieg is OUT. All of his SuperTuesday votes will go to Sleepy Joe Biden. Great timing. This is the REAL beginning of the Dems taking Bernie out of play – NO NOMINATION, AGAIN!

That’s what the dems want people to think. Funny how the real vote suppression always seems to be on the dem side though. Just like those Black Panthers engaging in voter intimidation in 2008.
Republicans just want people to have to show ID to vote. … and somehow that’s racist

The Dem party is completely broken. Part of it is Pelosi’s fault for tolerating AOC and her squad, making the inconceivable manifest. The Bernie Bros faction is the Brown Shirt faction. They assassinate, harass people in their homes, and threaten mayhem that I have no doubt they’ll commit if they feel robbed.
But I read a distinction someone made and I think there’s something to it. ‘They’ have incremental responses to stimuli; throwing rocks to burning cars to physical assault and murder. ‘We’ have only 2 states; ON/OFF.
They don’t understand thatthey don’t want us to throw the ON switch

Fortunately that simple switch is hardly ever turned on. It may be a century or more between switches. Just enough time for the left to forgot the lessons they last learned when that switch was thrown!

Tickets for the Telluride Blues Festival, which is in mid-September, went on sale at 10 AM today.
As of 10:02, all the VIP passes were gone. $750 apiece.

So, did you score one?
@ AZfederalist:
Nope. I had to go out to my car and use my phone, since our network blocked the site. Then it was giving me issues about my email address supposedly not being valid.. That’s why it was 10:02 when I finally got into the site.
I got a regular 3 day pass, as well as passes for the Friday and Saturday night “juke joint” shows. There are 5 different bars in town where they have performances after hours. The pass gets you into any or all of them. I’m probably looking forward to that more than the actual festival. It usually turns into a big jam session, with various artists just popping in.
@ lobo91:
Well, that doesn’t sound like a bad consolation prize.
@ AZfederalist:
Not at all. The funny thing is, they haven’t even announced the lineup yet.
I’m sure it will be good. They always get top-tier artists. It’s probably one of the 5 biggest festivals of the year.
Samantha Fish has been there the past 4 years in a row. It’s interesting to look at the posters from the past shows, going back to 2016. She was down in the small print in 2016, and moved up each year.
