From Larry's VFair link...

Right-wing pseudo-historian Dinesh D’Souza did offer up his solution for conservative survival in Biden’s America. “What I’m saying is we create our own culture. We live in it. And thanks to the Second Amendment, we defend it,” he said, adding on Twitter that conservatives have to stop playing nice with their Democratic neighbors: “The left has concluded that we are the ‘Party of Nice Guys’ and continues to take advantage of us. It’s time we fix that.”   

I had completely  missed that they were the party of nice guys.   If all this is their "nice, "  not sure many would survive their transition to not nice.   Good grief.

Trump has awarded ScoMo the Legion of Merit.
Always nice to receive an award.

Thank you, no. I am familiar with that publication.

At least you heeded the warning.

When Trump awards it, it’s the mark of the beast.

Scummo must have been a very naughty boy. Your legal system should probably start taking their keenest interest in his doings.

"we have to fight to make sure that this never happens again."---Except nothing happened. So fighting to make right what is not wrong is a wrongheaded pursuit.


Election rules were altered without state legislature

Trumpy losers can’t even make the case to one another.

Nothing but Thorazine and involuntary confinement left for trump and his staunchest supporters.

Bambu, I know you and Tony want China buying more OZ goods.
Well, this year there have been a lot of food products from Australia here.
Grant's toothpaste (one has eucalyptus oil and a pic of a koala on it); honey, breakfast cereal.  But now that I check, a fair amount of what I thought was from OZ is actually from NZ. 

Hubbards cereal (looks like they copied American "healthy" cereals in packaging and promo style -- specifically Just Right cereal).  Ginger molasses from NZ.  Pretty good, but one of those things like vegemite that on its own is a bit strong and offputting at first, but goes well with toast or toasted nut/raisin loaf.

But the bad news is these are all offerings at the discount import food stores and are being sold here fairly cheap -- often surplus or soon to expire goods (I don't worry much about expiration dates for toothpaste or honey).

There's also cheap Aussie wine, but I guess the supply is going to dry up soon if it hasn't already.  I don't really drink.

The Import Discount Food Stores have been fun.   Peruvian grilled artichoke hearts.
Before that giant artichoke hearts from Spain.  Cypriot and Greek juices.  Ginger marmalade from Scotland.  Honey from Borneo.  Cheap enough so you give oddities such as ginger molasses a try (thumbs up).  Thai soap, using Thai spices.  Soap from Kazahstan (central asians must have big hands).  Fancy South Korean toothpaste
If this is all due to the Belt and Road Initiative, then sign me up ...

Such hard-hitting news! 
But I can understand a healthy 20 year old chafing at sensible public health restrictions.

Make sure to update us and let us know when she tests positive.
Though she's young and will probably be asymptomatic and spread CV without knowing it. 

Btw, VA is 45th in infection rate.  Almost all of the states with a smaller % of their population infected are small remote states -- Hawaii, Maine, NH, VT.  The two exceptions -- responsible, careful WA with a comparable population.  And its good government NW buddy OR.

FLA?
Right in the middle of the pack at 26th.
So Virginia has done a much better job of protecting its citizens.

Death rate? 
VA 42nd; FLA 20th.

Doing what you want and having the freedom to infect others comes at a price, in sickness and deaths.  Good gov't saves lives; bad gov't kills.

Shhhhh......

this is Morbid Josh's job

This is who they are.

Now he’s tossing pardons around like nickels.

Suppose some guys decide to take out his political opponents, what could we do about it?
