If Kennedy runs as an independent, Trump doesn't need to even acknowledge his existence. He'll be a complete non-factor. Now, Trump might make fun of him regardless, because Trump's an rear end in a top hat and would enjoy it, but I don't see that making a substantive difference in the overall election.

The whole RFK Jr. thing was basically a Bannon op that Democrats didn't bite on. In fact, Republicans are biting on it instead, as the more he talks, the more he repels Democrats and attracts Republicans.

so now the usual chud twitter people gloating about RFK Jr. when the media chomped hard on that story are now declaring PSYOP PSYOP DO NOT BITE

The Kelly Clarkson show and on it, someone stated a guest was an "elon musk lookalike" and it wasn't an insult. Do normal people think like that?

Circumstancial evidence suggests that she overpaid for the lectern to reimburse a donor consultant who traveled with her internationally. Notably $20k is the threshold for an open bidding process for AR. Then once the spending came out through FOIA requests that she tried to squash, the republican party reimbursed the state to try to pretend nothing happened. She then pushed through a new law that exempts her travel from FOIA requests.

To most reasonably sane people, a gun is a tool for putting bullets into a target. The fact that it's fun to shoot them is a bonus, although sometimes we let the fun part take over - whomst among us wouldn't seize the opportunity at least once to rock-and-roll Hollywood-style and not care what we hit with the spray if offered?

We might even video it and post it. But that's not the point of a gun, and it's not the point of range time.

To Musk and people like him it's a boom-boom toy that makes him look cool and feel powerful. That's what he thinks he's accomplishing by posting through it like that: "This made me feel like a badass. Aren't I a badass here?" Firing a big gun from the hip is putting on a costume, the same way that wearing a cowboy hat or makingstealing stupid memes is. It's adopting the trappings of something he admires and wants to emulate, and completely failing to realize that there's anything deeper there that he's missing.

He may chuckle at the meme. But that's not why he posts it. Same thing.

Let's see what drives one of the dozen or so obsessives responsible for over half the recent school book bannings?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/09/28/virginia-frequent-school-book-challenger-spotsylvania/

quote:

Petersen grew up hating books.
Shocker!

quote:

That changed about 15 years ago, around the time Petersen’s daughter was born. Petersen had always loved Asian and Middle Eastern culture. When she spotted a novel with two Chinese sisters on the cover in a Ross Dress for Less store, she sat down with it and couldn’t stop reading. She finished the book, “Shanghai Girls” by Lisa See, in a day.

Let's learn a little bit more about the book that turned her into a literary expert

https://www.amazon.com/Shanghai-Girls-Novel-Lisa-See/dp/0812980530 posted:

Pearl is a Dragon sign, strong and stubborn, while May is a true Sheep, adorable and placid. Both are beautiful, modern, and carefree . . . until the day their father tells them that he has gambled away their wealth and that in order to repay his debts he must sell the girls as wives to suitors who have traveled from California to find Chinese brides.

an Amazon review posted:

The girls meet their husbands briefly, Pearl's husband is Sam and he is her age, but May's husband, Vernon, is only fourteen years old and cannot consummate the marriage. Pearl sleeps with a total stranger, her husband, but hates the experience and incredibly the sheets of her marriage bed are examined by the man who arranged the marriages, as proof of the consummation and Pearl's virginity.

God forbid your kids read The Diary of Anne Frank though.

Looking like a shutdown may be averted pending late votes. But the House GOP wanted to vote on the CR with literally 20 minutes notice, so Democrats got a bit too desperate in delaying things to read the bill:

https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1708181356268663219

Sounding like it will clear the House (after a long motion to adjourn wraps up)

The $6B Ukraine funding is the sacrifice, but Senate GOP thinks that the correct time to have the Ukraine funding fight is in Biden's supplemental, which will be due in the next 45 days anyways.
