    As you can imagine, Fox News doesn’t let Kamala off the hook for much.  She tweeted yesterday that everyone should have a nice “long weekend” along with a picture of herself.  That was a field day for folks to reminder her that it was Memorial Day weekend, and not just a “long weekend.”

    She’s just so…unlikeable.

    Are there people who think it was Antifa?

    You want the origins of the Jan 6 trespass?  Here it is:  a few really pissed off Americans went too far. Trump didn’t “do” it. Antifa didn’t “do” it.

    A really mature approach would be to understand why they would be pissed enough to storm the Capitol, but that’s an investigation that is too sensitive for politics. Instead we will blame qanon and try to stick it to Trump.

    The facts are these:  the voting game was substantially altered across the country. The election turned out the way it did, completely within the rules.  no investigation is likely to turn up anything different. The question is whether the rules were altered in good faith. The question is whether the game was rigged.

    The pandemic, while real, deadly, and scary for a sub segment of society, was a political tool. It was the proverbial crisis that politicians wouldn’t let go to waste. The Trump model of governance, while nasty and embarrassing, was working. Peace, jobs, prosperity, and a constantly tightening money supply (people have already forgotten that trump’s market and economic successes came while the fed tightened 7 consecutive times IIRC). The Dems know this and actually were gifted a crisis big enough to remodel politics in months.

    It’s a fascinating story if anybody wants to look at it for what it is.

    Screw Antifa.

    The letter is interesting, but might as well been sent to the soviet people criticizing the soviet union.  No substantial portion of the wealthy professional class is going to break the speech code.  The costs of speaking out are just too high.

    I have lived for extended amounts of time in both and can attest to the unintended message of these posts:

    It’s better to be perpetually poor in california and it is better to be rich and/or upwardly mobile in Texas.

    Well, it actually might be worse to be middle class in california because to be middle class you have to live like a poor Texan.

    This story is a bombshell, and nobody will care.

    The primary media outlets will just spin it down, or at least away from the obvious “trump was right” theme.

    Honestly, I just don’t care any more.  Stanford, Stanford sports, and sports in general are becoming less and less relevant in my life.  Bigger fish to fry.

    Those aren’t terrorist rockets, they are pro-Biden fireworks.

    I guess we need pot more than we need veterans.  It’s a strange sort of logic but it works if you are in government.

    BD, I share your sense of doom, but it’s just surreal with how the market is performing these days.  There’s nowhere to go with cash other than equities or hard assets, and ammo is expensive these days!

    As always, the truly tragic part of this is not what is in all likelihood an honest mistake, it’s the reality that if the same mistake were made by someone of such prominence with a different letter next to their name, it would stop the presses because of “racism.”

    BD, that’s funny, my fam and I had a lot of fun with the Wonder Woman 84 body snatch.  Oh, to be the random guy whose body just HAD to be used to love on Gal Gadot.

    I can see it now:  Disney’s defense:  “She was asking for it.”

     

    ““You might think I’m ruining the fantasy of it all, but these stories are promoting sexual violence and I would like everyone to be aware of it.””

    I bet she’s fun at parties.
