In case you were in doubt about why I view the current GOP as anti-Semitic:
https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2022/07/15/facebook-post-jewish-junta-from-kentucky-county-gop-criticized/65374383007/

The refusal of the county GOP to say who posted the subsequently deleted post, despite claiming they must have been hacked, makes the claim less than credible - and reinforces the feelings of anti-Semitism.

FtR, I was not in doubt as to why anyone would think the GOP is increasing its anti-Semitism.

Dettelbach seems an unlikely target for the label "anti-gun activist," given his career as a federal prosecutor and his strong endorsements from law enforcement -- support from the National Sheriffs Association and the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
Enforcing existing laws, as the main duty of your job, hardly seems like activism.  Sort of like saying the director of the FBI is an "anti crime activist."

Is this an injustice?

https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-swimming-news-she-let-down-the-country-michael-phelps-fans-left-disappointed-as-simone-biles-receives-presidential-medal-of-freedom-before-swimming-legend/

Maybe so.

Joe blew it.

She in no way let the country down.

Bunch of fans bitching that their guy did not get the honor first.

I think your blinded by race on this one. He has almost 3 times as many medals, and was way ahead of her in raising awareness on mental health in the world of elite athletes.

She deserves one, but AFTER he got his, IMO, and in many others' opinions.

She stood before the world and faced her abuser along with her teammates and said that guy did that TO ME.

Then she got the twisties in the Olympics and rather than mail it in she stood up and I cannot do this. I will not do this!

It was much more than athleticism.

BTW

When she was leaving DC a fight attendant offered her a coloring book...

Maybe check out Phelps' personal struggles. Oh, wait. He's a white male. Doesn't count, right?

I do not make the picks.

I did a profile on him in 2008. Great guy. Terrific family. He has earned a slot. But...

awards recipients are selected for their political value as well as how much is deserved. Jim Jordan for fucks sake.

Biles has a lot of clout in a community Democrats must excite in 22, black women being called on to save the country from itself... again.

Yes. You underscored the point. Optics count more than accomplishments.


Yeah, and?

So what?

Hence, Affirmative Action for the Medal of Freedom came to be. And you agree.

Thanks, again.

Gym Jordan was definitely affirmative action for sex offenders, a group very close to the bestowers heart at the time.

The right people got the awards this year. It is just a small benefit of having far superior leadership than we get when we let republicans and their nefarious allies steal elections.

RIP Ivana Trump, age 73.

Reportedly fell down stairs.


As for Ward, think it's now well established that he doesn't read for meaning.

Um ..."fell down the stairs". By herself? Or with  help? What did Ivana know?

Ding ding ding!!!!   We have a winner!

Tell him what he's won, Bob!

From the File
There is No Good News Anymore



The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports an  alleged robber entered a convenience store store and announced a robbery.

He then allegedly put a knife to the throat of a woman clerk  and demanded money from the cash register.

At one point during the incident a customer who had just exited the store looked through the window and saw the suspect allegedly dragging the clerk while she was screaming.

The customer grabbed a pistol from his vehicle, went inside, and confronted the suspect.

The suspect then allegedly walked toward the customer, holding a backpack in outstretched arms and saying, I have something for you.

The would be robber was declared dead at the scene.

Good Guy with a Gun
And the beat goes on.

Ukrainians are pretty excited about how the new Biden oil deal will hit the Russian economy and the Russian ability to sustain their invasion.

They are even more excited about the US supplied multi launch rocket systems.

It is a good thing we gelded the republican party in terms of its influence on our foreign policy no later than we did. The stinky traitor monkeys were already tits up for Putin both as their criminal leader and as their ultimate bigot in chief. They are happy to have trump as a puppet, but republicans know whos ass they are really licking all along.

The thing I almost don't understand is how Pence and the Cabinet did not invoke the 25th, rather than merely talking about it.
