Seems I've interupted Larry and Uno aggressively flirting.

Get a room


Kevin McCarthy channels a a blast from the past as he would like to sweep his party's involvement in sedition and treason under the rug.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy privately made a blunt appeal to his colleagues in the aftermath of the divisive fight to impeach former President Donald Trump: Stop attacking each other and instead focus on Democrats.

"Cut that crap out," McCarthy told his members, according to two sources on the call. McCarthy said he's had personal discussions with individual members and warned that a continued GOP vs. GOP battle will only benefit Democrats as his party aims to recapture the majority in next year's midterms.

Although I thougt the original Ben Franklin appeal to political cooperation made a stronger personal appeal.

we must all hang together, or ... we shall all hang separately,"

While hanging might be a little severe nowadays, the Republican's acts of sedition and treason has to be investigated and eventually punished.

Perhaps we should borrow from our English ancestors and put less serious offenders in a pillory and pelted with rotten eggs, fruit etc and perhaps put more serious criminals on prison ships bound for Australia.

Fuck it hang them.

And leave them up for the birds.

1. Do not talk about people's real lives without their explicit permission in a disparaging fashion. There are two arbiters of that - the person whose life is being discussed and me.

2. Do not expose, seek to expose, or pretend to expose any member's real life facts. There are only two arbiters of that - the person whose life is under discussion and me.

3. Do not threaten another person, on the site or off. Do not propose that a US politician should die or, if you are from another country, a politician of your own country. I am the sole arbiter of that.

In the event that one of those things happens, I will indicate that it needs to stop. If it does not stop, I will given the offender a timeout of one sort or another for 5 days.

A repeat offense after the 5 day timeout will get a longer ban.

Seeking to get around that ban, going forward, will bring a report to the ISP of the offender.

Note: If the Admin wishes to get involved in this crap, obviously he has dibs over me on taking actions, but based on my latest communication from him, I would have to rate that as very unlikely. Nor does it seem that he has been especially moved by any complaints about me that he may have received.

Any questions?

There really isn’t a treatment for the kind of road rash you’ve incurred, Utz. WebMD says just to stick your face in a bucket of horseshit till the pain goes away. I’m not sure how much you should trust internet sources on these matters, so proceed with your own best judgement.

Australian military intervention definitely keeps China up at night.

You do realise that any of America's children sent there will be slaughtered by the million plus Chinese army?
The only way is to get Donny back to tell China it will cease to exist if it attacks Taiwan.
Or have Biden send Jinping some texts, emails and letters to that effect.

I could listen to Gina McCarthy talk about the environment all damn day.

What is a maximalist sanction appropriate to politicians who openly and willingly participated in murderous insurrection short of the death penalty? Should that sanction change if they are defending and perpetuating the insurrection on through the present moment?

If you're serious about facing climate change,  Gina is who you want.   

And some TS Eliot never hurts....

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust...

Ivanka has been rejected by a swanky country club after the storming of the Capitol.
Ya make one mistake!

Gina is certainly well qualified.
Wonder what she plans to do.

Emergency mental health response teams.

Radical, right?!

Australia is a perfect place to have solar farms and probably wind turbines.
Vast empty spaces, large desert areas.

Without even considering the health damage caused by coal-burning pollution and the environmental harms of coal extraction, renewable energy is cheaper than coal.

21st C clean energy v. 19th C dirty energy.

At this point coal represents entrenched interests trying to extract as much money as possible and slow down change before their business model is obsolete.

With leadership, I'd imagine OZ could transition off of coal entirely in a 5-10 year time frame.  10-15 years and be fully weaned off fossil fuels for electricity.

Biden should reinstall solar panels on the WH roof.

Proud Boys leader is a gov't snitch.  Too fucking funny.

Perhaps as it was only 3 weeks ago our nation's capital came under attack by right-wing fascist traitors who wanted to overthrow the newly elected government of the US. And while the initial attack was rebuffed, as the Republican parrty harbors traitors in its ranks, maybe the threat of another attack remains.

An ounce of prevention is worth more than a 200 pounds of a tactically equipped dead traitor .
