Republicans' choice of Jordan as Speaker is a continuation of the attempted coup.
Tue Oct 17, 2023, 09:05 AM kentuck (110,523 posts) Republicans' choice of Jordan as Speaker is a continuation of the attempted coup. They all know he was involved in it.

After his life was threatened on January 6th, it was a strange endorsement for Mr. Pence? They are leaving no doubt about where they stand as a Party.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon on AMC+
Response to Tom Yossarian Joad (Original post) Tue Sep 12, 2023, 05:13 PM I only made it through two episodes. Way too dark in its cinematography such that I could scarcely tell who was who or what was going on. I really like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but meh. I quit. Frankly, I think I'm pretty burned out on WD but I probably will check out the Daryl Dixon one next time I do a short-term AMC+ subscription.

Anyone see "The Pope's Exorcist"?
Response to bif (Original post) Tue Aug 29, 2023, 01:32 PM The old Exorcist movie was a lot scarier. This one was actually supposed to be based on a true story; the priest in the movie really was the Pope's exorcist. But I find it very hard to believe that the things that happened in the movie, with all the demons and hellish visions, ever happened at all unless somebody had got ahold of some bad acid.

Response to Tom Yossarian Joad (Original post) Wed Aug 9, 2023, 07:37 PM 3. Question: are you guilty? Trump isn't attempting to prevent a conviction, because he knows it's virtually impossible. He's trying to disrupt the Court process until he's (hopefully) elected President or Pardoned. He's also using the criminal justice personnel as a target to ensure his Primary election success.

Arkansas deputy shoots at small dog, hits dog owner then tries to gaslight her "I didn't shoot you"
Response to BlueWaveNeverEnd (Original post) Tue Aug 8, 2023, 07:34 AM 3. Oh God Lord! He tries to blame her injury as the dog scratched her. Really! If the Sheriff's Office is smart they will settle this out of court because it may not go well for them in court. People are dog lovers and he was trying to shoot a Pomeranian, hardly the most dangerous creature. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink
