In other unrelated news, back on my Forensic Files bullshit. The Prosecutor 'talking head' is Trey Fucking Gowdy. Not sure what this means, if anything, but it seems unhelpful in some way.

I watched a program on the Chernobyl disaster last night and something stuck with me. They did research on people's health years later and said that the 'fear' of being contaminated by radiation was much more dangerous than the actual radiation itself. That's what this upcoming election feels like.

wtf? no, this is a question pundits entertain themselves with. the question confronting voters is who they prefer to be president. They should not be walking into the voting booth and casting a vote for the candidate they think will win!

Very funny that the Times was so certain about the panic they were causing that they set up a little live update election-season scoreboard for it

is Donald Trump still running for president

It's a day late but it's still the holiday weekend. That can only mean one thing. Time for my world famous Kraut Dogs.

Baked Beans themed balaclavas are good. Especially fitting for the UK. But nothing beats the much more fun to say: Baklava Balaclava.

Things aren't looking good in the U.S. political area right now. I for one am firmly in the Anti-Trump, Anti-Republican, Anti-Fascist, Pro-Democrat portion. We need all the help we can get. What I'm not prepared to tolerate is the Anti-Biden Left blaming Democrats if Trump wins. Like gtfoh please.

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).

Just got home and still on my Forensic Files bullshit. This episode (2006) is particularly dated because it's about some poor sap betting through off-shore websites. Like, dude, you're gonna be pissed about 15 years later. Hoo boy.

Republicans: here is our plan which we will carefully execute over the next forty years until we have gained control of SCOTUS Dems: If we can't pass it next week under the current Congress it's not worth mentioning

gosh maybe Democrats should run against a deeply unpopular Republican Supreme Court that is issuing deeply unpopular rulings that Republican presidents can do whatever the hell they want but women can't get abortions

So, today's decision has even LESS support than Dobbs: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-i...

Please get the lawyers off television. I swear to God. We need people who understand how to do POLITICS.

I am so tired of the already elected saying that things hinge on the next election. Do more now and run on it. If I was president the day I learned that crimes were legal for me I might act on that knowledge and get the Supreme Court in line.

Just at the most basic level it is really unhealthy to have to thought about Donald Trump as much as everyone in America has over the last nine or so years. Spending a decade of my life thinking about a super boring, super shitty crook and all the bad stuff he's doing or might do. It's embarrassing.

Sometimes if I focus on my cats' whiskers too long, they start to creep me out. They're an amazing adaptation but, like, they can be so long! If you have a cat, try it. It's wild.

Based on what I'm seeing in my feed since, yes is the answer. This is good information.

Current National Discourse Level: If I were to have a baby (I am a male incapable of giving birth) in the fifth inning of a Major League Baseball game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the defunct Montréal Expos, would that baby be eligible to be Vice President of the US when the game ends?

Honestly, I don't give a shit what Billion Dollar Professional Sports Teams do with their ill gained money. They can pay whatever useless player they want to. Not my problem. But, like, isn't what's happening somewhat funny? Potential for a colossal waste of court money. Team/advert $$ ok tho

I'm finding things interesting where the past few months of posts (that I've seen) indicated that most peeps on this advanced social media platform were not interested in tonight's Presidential Debate. I thought, ok But then checked in and got absolutely bukkake'd in a zillion hot takes, so...

My cats have probably found no fewer than six (6) keyboard shortcuts by walking on my laptop keyboard. It's uncanny. One of them once got the laptop into such a state that it was effectively unusable. Had to look up a solution on my phone to reset it.

Just sitting here, watching the local weather storm coverage, waiting out a massive thunderstorm and tornado warning until midnight. In Massachusetts. Kinda scary, ngl. At least I still have power.
