Chit-Chat: The Feels

[Dimity]

We've come to this - our only solace is that even Trump can't cheat Father Time.  His only comeuppance is going to be that he can't take it with him.  Although I'm sure he'll try.

[peacheslatour]

From the Carter Center. That column is doing god's work. Many internet wags are suggesting placing a column in front of Trump in all photos going forward.

Begging your pardon, but a lot of people do care about abortion and democracy. The people that don’t are about to get to the “finding out” part.

 

I just wish it was only the people who voted for him would "find out" what he is going to do. Instead, it will affect all of us.  But at least some of us won't be shocked when it all hits the fans.

Because there is no God. Or if there is a deity running the universe, it ain’t concerned with punishing evil upon those who truly deserve it. It’s ironic . . . that motherfucker probably has no belief in religion, yet he can make people exclaim “JESUS CHRIST!” at any moment.

No prison, no fine, but he will bear the mark of a criminal. As if foreign dignitaries will flock to Vance, all, “Yeah, we need to speak to someone in charge whom we know for certain would not go through our wallets when he thinks we’re not looking.”

 

Since he was president last time I've been feeling like this is a time of Job, where God and the Devil are talking and God says, you can do whatever you want to the United States.  I know Satan wasn't allowed to kill Job, but other than that he put Job through hell.  I'm not sure what the "not allowed to do" thing is to the United States though.

I hope all the mega evangelicals watching Pres. Carter's funeral noticed that their orange Messiah stood mute during the Lord's Prayer. The guy that the Christian Right insists is the answer to all our problems, that many of them consider the second coming, doesn't know the prayer?

You mean the guy who thought the bible book was Corinthians 2?

Poor ol' Clarence. He & Ginnie would have to move (in their spiffy RV) to Canada.

I don't know that Canada would want them!!!  😁

Didn't he think it was called Corinthians 2: Electric Boogaloo?

Mostly kidding, but if someone told him it was called that, I really do think he'd believe it.

Foreign dignitaries are busy making sure Trump doesn't have access to all their Top Secret or Classified docs; 'cause he'll sell that info to the highest bidder.

LOL. I'm just glad someone got the reference. I almost didn't post because I wasn't sure how many people would know what I was talking about.

Oh, don't you worry, "Electric Boogaloo" is definitely part of modern mainstream lexicon. Heck, I wonder if people remember that there was a first Breakin' movie...

I wonder if SCOTUS knew that the sentence was going to be no jail time, so their denial came across as “doing the right thing” and therefore saving face…

The judge had said there would be no jail time when he set the date. So yeah it's a possibility, more like probability.  And the fact that Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Thomas all voted in favor of Trump is them saying don't worry buddy we will always have your back.   Roberts voting no is his way of saying I least am trying to not look corrupt.  ACB I can't get a read on.  Her main issue was abortion.  I don't think she is MAGA but we shall see going forward if she will fall in line with the conservatives on the court.

And you can thank the people that refused to vote, but they'll just keep blaming everyone else instead.

But they didn't know what Kamala was about!

Yeah she's a strange one to peg.  She almost does the right thing then doesn't but has also sided with the other female justices before.  Roberts was a reliable swing vote for years but when the conservatives got the super majority on the court he was less scrupulous about siding with them.

L O fucking L. From Newsweek-

 

In the aftermath of the 2024 election, dating could significantly change as singles begin to scrutinize their dating app matches' voting history.

While former President Donald Trump won the election over Vice President Kamala Harris, political polarization has divided the country, and many refuse to date outside of their political party.

Women especially may be more likely to reject a potential date based on his voting history, according to a new survey of nearly 1,400 users from dating app Coffee Meets Bagel.

Roughly 77 percent of female users said they wouldn't date someone who supports Trump, compared to 65 percent of Coffee Meets Bagel's overall user base.

I had to go to the drug store today. I try so hard not to look at the front page of the Post because they piss me off almost every time. I looked.

Cute, huh? If Alexander Hamilton knew what would become of the newspaper he’d create, he would not have waited for Aaron Burr to do him in.

Isn't it just the usual gang of idiots though, like James Woods?

[kittykat]

James Woods can eat rocks.  I genuinely feel bad for others.  Billy Crystal and his wife lost their home of 46 years.  That sucks, not just the money but the memories. Cary Elwes and his family also lost theirs, leave Westley alone you smoldering bastard! My heart is obviously with all the non celebrities as well.

Eric Braeden (the immortal Victor Newman) lost his as well but he's not blaming the evil gubmint.
