Josh Shapiro looks like he won the veepstakes?

Well, that didn't age well ... LOL!

Curious by TheFP is featuring anything by Vivek Ramaswamy, a documented "take the money and run" businessman who has claimed January 6 was an inside job, claimed "big tech" stole the 2020 election, and has endorsed 9/11 conspiracies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Ramaswamy#Promotion_of_conspiracy_theories

And I see why you’re in your cult as well.

Vivek’s essay pretends weird is referring to an autistic genius, introverted computer guy, or socially awkward introvert. It’s obvious Kamala used it to refer to Trump’s self-defeating and insulting behavior. She definitely wasn’t grouping Trump with Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or The Good Doctor.

Biden Mount Rushmore worthy? Wow! What was Nancy smoking?

Cackling Kamala is weird, not Trump and Vance.

I can’t wait for the next Presidential debate. I don’t care where/when it is.

For the losers who call their political adversaries weird (or deplorable), I will quote Steve Jobs:

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Saw this somewhere and thought it "beared" repeating. The RFK dead bear/Central Park story is only the third-worst story involving the Kennedy family and a dead body in a car.

Is that weird enough?

Too soon.

Oliver, just remembered something, and wondered if you can do us a quick favor? Please check with Bari to see if she's had an opportunity to check in on the poor Guardian staffers who had to endure their employer publishing the occasional story that wasn't 100% supportive of Israel during the past 10 months. Some background, since this was before your time here: When black staffers at Bari's former employer, the Times, complained in 2020 about feeling unsafe at work because Sen. Tom Cotton published an Op-Ed that was critical of violent BLM protests, she rightly called them the snowflakes they are.

Then some Jewish Guardian staffers complained about feeling unsafe at work because their employer wasn't handjobbing Bibi sufficiently. Bari lauded these brave freedom fighters as heroes. Because she knows they aren't snowflakes. She knows this because she knows that Jewish people are the most downtrodden, oppressed group of people currently on earth. Way worse than black people were ever oppressed. Worse than the Uyghur people being eliminated by China. Worse than anyone ever.

So we're naturally concerned to make sure they're all OK. If you could ask her to check in with them, and maybe give us a quick update about their wellbeing, I'd right appreciate it.

"The veep sweepstakes" is always a race to the bottom and Harris will prove that if Trump fumbles the ball and we get a fourth Obama term. She is not even an inch deep and makes even the usual phony politicians look real.

Calling RFK the kooky scion of Camelot? Alluding to the UK protestors as right-wing thugs? What has happened to the FP? I felt like I just read CNN. Bye.

“Far right thuggery” was in quotes meaning….it was a quote. Zero alluding.

Good news roundup, Oliver!

Weird doesn't do our Politico's justice. For starter's, why haven't the 9-11 thugs been shot or hung?

Anyone here , like Durban who doesn't agree should join them on the gallows.

I have a major problem with anyone who would vote for a person responsible for flooding our nation with the criminals and possible terrorist of the world.

If you can overlook this you don't deserve

to live here.

These same people are against voter ID.

If you don't plan on cheating, what's the problem?

"why haven't the 9-11 thug's been shot or hung?"

I doubt that I can do anything about your judgement, but I can correct your grammar: "thug's" does not take an apostrophe; there is no possessive in this sentence.

Anyway, as father Stalin said: it doesn't matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes.

The U.S. has sent 4,000 Marines to the Middle East.

Meanwhile....

Netanyahu's son remains in Miami.

Will Biden send the marines into battle against the jihadis?

Biden is super pro-Israel. Has been from Day 1 he entered politics. Self-described Zionist.

However, according to recent reports l, Biden seems have come to the realization - as the majority of other world leaders have who have dealt with Netanyahu has - is that he is a liar amd manipulator.

Has never had any interest in peace - which is why he financed Hamas - and just recently killed the Hamas chief negotiator.

He doesn't give a single crap about any hostages or the long-term, generational safety of the Israeli people.

He is no different than Sinwar.

Hell, the dude actually blames the Arabs for the Holocaust.

There's a well-known secret video from years ago with Netanyahi talking with his family about how he destroyed the Oslo Accords and other peace agreements. How he uses settlers to attack/take land and then declare it a military position. How he knows how to "manage/control" the U.S.

The U.S. troops will mostly likely be for logistics, advisory and security.

However, that's how Vietnam started. All it takes is one good attack on U.S. troops, then Bari Weiss and AIPAC will be popping champagne bottles.

So....it really all depends on whether Biden grows some balls - or keeps sucking Bibi's.

And your point is?

Hey, I am in MI and this swami sawami senator in Detroit needs to ship herself to Hamas and get out of our state. She will not win another election and we need her out of here.....Maybe we will send her to NYC for free? Or Boston? She also is not a Lions fan....that is a no no in MI...

Expand full comment

Please do not send her to Boston. We have enough lunatics attempting to move most of the population of Haiti into our hotels for free lodging.

Maybe you can send her to Gaza, so she can personally assist with the fight.

Yes, please send her to Gaza.
