These are 100 of the most powerful people in the world (probably the history of the world, to be fair), and they are so fully captured by corporate interests and partisan politics that they are advocating AGAINST the health of Americans. What a shameful display.
That’s about the size of it. Astonishing that they don’t see what they are actually saying.
Then again logic doesn’t play a part in these pronouncements. It’s all quick “hits” that people internalize and then move on from. Short attention span theater. That’s the plague of our age.
How do these particular people keep getting elected to positions of power? I blame the systemic rot in our political parties - the parties are not designed and operated to represent the voters, no matter what they say. And we have to sit here watching the greedy, self-aggrandizing, liars berate an honest man trying his best to do an important job.
You want to know why these people keep getting into positions of power? it's not the people voting, it's the machines counting the votes. I don't believe any of them were honestly elected. I think if we do our research, we will find out every single one of them is a fraud .the people counting the votes, are the ones who keep putting these filthy, useless, pieces of human garbage. Into elected office. I have a feeling this has been going on for decades. until we get back to one vote .one citizen. paper ballots. one day voting. no more mail in. we will continue to be cheated and lied to. Election Integrity will change everything
In his Farewell Address (1796), Washington gave perhaps the most famous warning about political parties in U.S. history:
• He believed political factions (parties) would create division, jealousy, and animosity.
• He warned that parties could put their own interests above the nation’s interest, leading to government gridlock and corruption.
• He feared that intense partisanship could open the door for foreign influence and even tyranny, because people might rally blindly behind party leaders instead of preserving liberty.
📜 Washington’s words:
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension … is itself a frightful despotism.”
And by the end of his successor's presidency the Democrat-Republicans had made partisan politics the way things were done. The Federalists couldn't hold back that tide and were eventually replaced, first by the Whigs and then the Republicans.
The agrarian idealist and admirer of the French Revolution (even after the Reign of Terror!) Thomas Jefferson is much to blame for all this, but it was the populist Jackson (and the devious Van Buren) who perfected the art of party politics.
Fraud, ballot harvesting, apathetic party line votes, bankrolling by moneyed interests, gerrymandering, primary shenanigans against potential competition from within the party, name recognition,...
They make decisions every day that impact Americans and other, sovereign countries around the world. Decisions that the affected have no recourse regarding.
Which is the crime, that such a group of incompetents have this authority and control.
They aren't any more powerful than they look. They're puppets who repeat what they're told to say--or as Cernovich put it so well, "Alzheimer patients reading notes from pharma lobbyists".
Gotta admit though, Pocahontas has never LOOKED more like an Indian chief (despite her below average genetic complement).
I'm writing a similar (long) article that should drop tomorrow morning detailing many of the egregious "errors" made by public health officials during covid that has (predictably) led to this massive backlash against the "experts".
It's hilarious to see the usual suspects up there shilling for Big Pharma again. They don't realize how bad it looks (especially compared to 2020-2022).
I was asking earlier this evening--just what audience are they playing to, in their minds?
I'd be inclined to feel a bit sorry for these cretins as they humiliate themselves...if they hadn't just put all Americans through years of hell, and were enthusiastically complicit in possibly millions of deaths in that time, and now refuse to listen, or reflect.
The fact that they have zero self awareness--lacking the self-reflection that requires--just underscores that they are as our salon host notes a chamber of vampires.
When Lujan pulled the ridiculous stunt of unpinning the starfish on his lapel that he was going to give Kennedy but decided not to because he's undeserving of it, I thought, "Please, RFK, Jr., pull out a crucifix and wave it at the fraud."
What's the formal term for a question that contains its own answer?
"...just what audience are they playing to, in their minds?"
That's the audience - it's in their minds.
That's why they remind us of genuinely mentally ill people, like schizophrenics, but where the schizophrenic is trying to placate and calm the tics, voices and other such stuff threatening to trigger a psychotic break, the people you speak of is instead feeding their mania in a recursive feedback-loop of getting dopamine and serotonin-kicks from making themselves be outraged.
Remember the "triggly-puff" woman from Trump 1.1? That's how they are on the inside, and now also on the outside.
Like all addicts, they need their kick and that kick needs to be stronger with each hit.
I'm not a big fan of (((psychologizing))) everything. I'm far too cognizant of already-well-developed plans to create a global MENTAL HEALTH INVESTMENT juggernaut, in which every human emotion and reaction--so closely studied, so masterfully manipulated--will become the new realm of real estate for measurement, sorting, typifying, surveilling, financialization/speculation, Globo control, and gigaprofit. I can't affix screencaps from financial press here.
But anyway.
Rik, I disagree.
I don't think they ARE feeling outrage.
I base that on having worked inside organizations/institutions where part of the preparation for going public with information, plans, findings, etc., is to learn to SIMULATE HUMAN EMOTION convincingly, as part of the package of persuasion (manipulation) techniques. That's what "coaching" for "media appearances" involves: simulating human behavior while delivering the manipulative payload.
"Trigglypuff" (Hampshire College undergrad Cora Segal) manifested behaviors quite predictable for her genepool. I don't mean to torque there. Just to indicate that she did appear to be venting emotion out of the female hysteria/ambushing/noisy behavior complex common in families such as I presume hers was.
However what I saw Maria Cantwell, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, etc., doing in those clips was more like replicants counterfeiting genuine human emotion. The volume was turned up, the tones urgent (and designed to manipulate the situation)...but that doesn't mean it was actual human emotion.
I felt myself having the "uncanny valley" reaction watching Cantwell--as big a cipher as ever walked on two legs--simulate opprobrium. And hearing Warren shriek and screech like a jilted sorority sister.
I hesitate to call it theatre, or an act, or a clown show--those are human genres out of the ancient human shamanic impulse (however remotely descended).
They’re playing to the audience they think they still have. The MSM audience that doesn’t utilize any other sources of information, or the ones so locked in their bubbles that any outside information is just the misinformation they’ve heard so much about.
"While the Covid mRNA vaccines may have provided a therapeutic effect during the fall 2021 B.1.617.2 variant wave, helping to keep some vulnerable individuals out of the hospital[...]".
Such caveat undermines, for me, anything else that follows. There is no way in hell the "covid vaccine" saved anyone from ANYTHING.
Bernie and Warren, two massive disappointments from the purported progressive wing of the Democratic party, sound especially ridiculous. They were never revolutionaries, only toadies playing the part of controlled opposition.
RFK Jr. has been a pleasant surprise to me. Years ago I knew him for vaccine skepticism, climate change hysteria, and gun control, so I wasn’t a fan, to say the least. But then COVID happened, and all the lies about the origin, the vaccines, and the official lack of interest in (or snarky dismissal of) remedies like vitamin D and ivermectin changed my mind. Then I found out how many vaccinations kids get these days, and the lack of real evidence to support the vaccine schedule. As long as we keep him away from gun control and climate and focused on health, I say “Go, Bobby, Go!"
I'm fairly sure I still disagree with about 50% of what he believes, e.g. climate change, and I'm not totally sure that he is completely right on all his vaccine skepticism. But I think he's more right than his critics on vaccines
Thats because the critics have been brainwashed since childhood to believe that vaxcines are miracles of science that prevent early death.
The fact that they are no such thing is impossible to get through to them because they believe that story more than they believe 2+2=4.
All a vaccine is is an attempt to infect someone with a small enough dose of a pathogen in the hopes that the body’s natural immune system can fight it before the individual is infected with a larger dose of the pathogen naturally.
But there are lots of flaws in vaccine theory.
- small is a relative term
- nobody knows how many new pathogens the body can fight at once, is the immune system getting overwhelmed
- nobody bothers to check if the individual has already been exposed and successfully fought the pathogen, is the jab redundant and totally wasteful for the individual
- all vaccines contain dozens of other ingredients besides the pathogen, nobody is making any effort to research the interactions of all the ingredients and how they affect other aspects of health beyond the immune system.
I could write dozens more but those four are the most obvious and you have to be willfully ignorant to downplay them.
These things tend to go in cycles but right now the Democrats are the most willfully ignorant group in politics i have ever seen in my 61 years. There’s always willfully ignorant on bith sides - it’s basically the default human condition- but this is the worst ive ever seen.
I am quite sure that the Vax establishment has pushed too many vaccines too soon on children. And yes, the lack of checking as to whether the recipient is already immune was one of the warning signs WRT the wuflu vax
It's easier to ask whether the whole-cell tetanus jab is still widely used. They will never admit there was a problem, but it's been replaced as a vaccine. There is one substack I read which claimed that the whole-cell tetanus jab was at least partially responsible for the shaken baby phenomenon, with an alarming number of cases where twins died simultaneously within hours of receiving the vaccine.
Overall, vaccines are a good thing. But when there is a problem with a specific vaccine it can often take decades for change to happen. Sometimes they never admit the harms which were caused.
"The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves".
" . . . the Democrats are the most willfully ignorant group in politics i have ever seen in my 61 years." Same here. Could be they're vaccine damaged, though their beliefs were toxic long before Covid.
That's the difference between the "right" and "left" or "Republicans" and "Democrats." We are willing to work with those who we don't fully agree with, providing they stay in their lane and don't impose on our freedoms. I realize there are lots of exceptions to this but this is a generalization. I don't see this at all from the left or Democrats. They act like spoiled children that refuse to even talk or acknowledge those they disagree with on even one minor point.
Chris, thanks for the recap. I have watched clips of this
“hearing”/ public flogging throughout the day. The scripted ranting and clearly false narratives by this gaggle of mynah birds was repulsive. The issues are too important for the clown show to grasp much less question in a intelligent manner. Led by one of the phoniest hypocrites in the history of the Senate, Elizabeth Warren, the questioning made a great case for removing the cameras from the hearing’s altogether but that would lead us to a reporting by the lickspittle press. JFK JR. showed class and dignity. I’m with him all the way. Time to clean house in health care.
Better that it is televised live and unfiltered. No editing (ala Kamala campaign) to hide the true fatuous stupidity of Warren,Sanders,Lujan and Warnock. My real question is who would vote for these idiots? I appreciate that RFK Jr has the strength to resist their shrill rhetoric.
You forgot the actual ghoul, Wyden, who is rolling in Big Pharma bucks but apparently they aren't doing him any good. He should not be weighing in on anyone else's health preferences.
They are under obligation to provide information to the committee that oversees their departments. With the advent of the livestream of the hearings the legislators of the opposition have been using their 5 minutes of power to get in front of the cameras and perform for their constituents. The committee members have no boundaries to their accusations. Yesterday was once again an example of a pack of monkeys throwing poo, not expecting a real response but to perform at the circus.
Do they have no consultants to tell them that behaving this way is repulsive to ordinary people? Is it not repulsive to ordinary people, does it work? I just can't get my head around it, they are so eager to behave in such repellent ways.
This is their idea of what "fighting for <fill in the blank>" looks like.
It doesn't help when the low-IQ voters chortle about how their champion just "owned" the bad guy. For too many people on both sides politics is entertainment rather than serious, rational debate. Too much of it is what I think the kids call "kayfabe".
The idiot junior senator from Minnesota (had never heard of her before--turns out she's a long-term Dem "consultant") actually told Kennedy she didn't want to hear an answer. YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME, she said.
I watched an old clip from MSNBC. The Senators were auditioning for Joy Reed’s old job. Name calling, spittle flying, eyes popping and not allowing the target speak. A new “The View”, is born.
Is there a legal reason why a member of the executive branch is required to be cross examined at will by the legislative branch? I thought only the initial appointments were subject to “advice and consent”. Executive branch appointees would be well advised to speak directly to the American people, and bypass corrupt institutions like congress and the media. They are BS artists and the bulk of Americans don’t care to observe their bizarre spectacles and attempts to manipulate the public narrative.
Whenever I see clips of Senators or Congressmen behaving like this in a hearing, it looks to me as if they've taken Roland Freisler as their role model.
(And I'm surprised the witnesses are allowed to keep their belts.)
But since they're Lefties, I suppose the antics of the Red Guard in those struggle sessions is the more likely paradigm.
There's a curious intersection between the manipulations and class incentives of elites, and the prejudices and confirmation biases of their normie supporters (who tend to also be prosperous, or to depend upon the bureaucratic state for sustenance or comfort). I've been surprised (although the surprise is wearing off) at how persistent the ideological assumptions of the moderate left have proven to be. I think that anyone looking at the situation without preconception would have recognized that the balance of evidence coming out of reality is massively tilting against their worldview... yet the same ~30% of voters never seem to waver in their hostility and close-mindedness.
I like your term of davidfrenching much better than kettling. I instantly get the former. The latter, meh. As for Lizzie Warren, she’s as attractive and persuasive as a limp noodle, with an anger complex. Must be lovely at Thanksgiving dinner.
Those Senators are bought and paid for by BigPharma. RFK is derailing their gravy train. Which means they’ll be down to only insider trading and military contract kickbacks for their generational wealth creation. If this continues, these “public servants” will have to get by on a mere salary.
Well if they're really so avid to get those wonderful covid "vaccines" out to the public, maybe they'll be going to their doctors and taking their 9th, 10th, or 11th booster. How many does it take?
Demtoids and Repukes 🤣. The images those appellations bring to mind are hemorrhoids and puking - so terribly apt I'll never be able to think of them any other way.
They already have "generational wealth". How much more do they think they need? How many generations are they trying to fund?!?
The answer, of course, is that greed is a difficult vice to shake and is never satisfied. They'll still be looking for a kickback on their way to their deathbeds.
It’s hard to distinguish who is most loathsome of those in your video excerpt, but that asshat Lujan, with his condescending, “My New Mexico accent,” bullshit, gets him to the top of my list.
I don't know if I've ever seen anything stranger in Congress than Lujan doing that bit about the starfish pin. It was like watching a patient on the brain injury ward.
I gotta say that Elizbeth Warren sure works hard for the money though. The pure psychic strain of maintaining her bent amoral intellectual positions would send any ordinarily sane person running for the hills! How does she ever bear up under all that cognitive dissonance without breaking down gibbering with PTSD? She must be made of sterner stuff than ordinary mortals. Could it be her Indian blood?
You mean because the weather maps are all fire-engine red, Flaming-Cheetos orange, and hot pink now? Even for the beaches? In a "subtle" effort to make you think it's about 50 degrees hotter than it actually is? Because of climate change? Aagghh
I think it's all written in NYC, as we saw during Covid with compilations of local newscasters all across the country reading the same lines in unison. I suspect even the supposedly casual back and forth chatter among the metrosexual anchor, the female anchor, and the weather person is scripted.
Back when she was playing her cheekbones and Pow Wow Chow recipe for Affirmative Action points, it was a standard point of feminism in the Ivy League that a woman should take care never to adopt a shrill, shrieky voice, lest the content of her words (if any) be lost on listeners (what with the eardrums bursting and all).
Her absurd shrieking in response to him setting her straight on outright distortions would have been funny...if my eardrums weren't bleeding and ruining my favorite flannel shirt.
That picture of Warren reminds me of my angry fourth grade teacher as she ranted at me for playing the organ, which she forbade us to do, in the basement of the Grange Hall where fourth grade was held in 1946. Of course I played it, and I have been disobeying authority ever since. Har har. Sic 'em Kennedy.
Chef's kiss.....mwah!!
I would have included Vance's tweet calling the rabid senators "full of shit".
These are 100 of the most powerful people in the world (probably the history of the world, to be fair), and they are so fully captured by corporate interests and partisan politics that they are advocating AGAINST the health of Americans. What a shameful display.
Yes! Loved that thing from Vance.
So Trump's administration has the democratic establishment:
1. Defending violent crime in American cities, and
2. Openly advocating against the health of Americans and dragging the incredibly fit senior trying to improve the lives of all Americans
Clown world. Looks good on them.
That’s about the size of it. Astonishing that they don’t see what they are actually saying.
Then again logic doesn’t play a part in these pronouncements. It’s all quick “hits” that people internalize and then move on from. Short attention span theater. That’s the plague of our age.
😂 Love the "Short Attention Span Theater" reference! Thank-you, you've brightened my day. 🤗
Senators Wynan - the Oregon guy, had to literally look at his staff for an answer after RFK skewered him.
Shocking! (NOT at all.)
Staff should have let him hang.
Me too. I’ve been in those. Such fun!!
These are theatre kids and all the world's a stage.
But if they’re powerful, what exactly is it that they’re powerful at? It sure as hell isn’t leading or governing anything…
Lining their own pockets, that's what they hold power in.
With OUR money.
Ilhan Omar has certainly shown how to do this effectively!!
Didn't her brother fill her pocket?
Maybe more than her pocket...
Almost all of them have. Corruption and grift is bipartisan
How do these particular people keep getting elected to positions of power? I blame the systemic rot in our political parties - the parties are not designed and operated to represent the voters, no matter what they say.

Voter apathy. If they don’t know anything about the candidates, they vote the party line by default.

Election fraud seems more and more likely…
Controlling the narrative is where they are trying to be the most powerful.
Which is difficult when most people no longer trust the mainstream media.
They make decisions every day that impact Americans and other, sovereign countries around the world. Decisions that the affected have no recourse regarding.
Which is the crime, that such a group of incompetents have this authority and control.
They aren't any more powerful than they look. They're puppets who repeat what they're told to say--or as Cernovich put it so well, "Alzheimer patients reading notes from pharma lobbyists".
Gotta admit though, Pocahontas has never LOOKED more like an Indian chief (despite her below average genetic complement).
That tweet probably won him the 2028 presidency…at the very least its Republican nomination. Oh wait, King Trump will still be in office.
They are: Public Serpents
Yet - they have no shame whatsoever.
JD Vance is a BUTTFAGGOT created in a lab by Peter Thiel.
Wow! What a witty and insightful comment.
For what purpose?
I'm writing a similar (long) article that should drop tomorrow morning detailing many of the egregious "errors" made by public health officials during covid that has (predictably) led to this massive backlash against the "experts".

I read that RFK Jr has a clove of garlic in his pocket when he attends hearings.
When Lujan pulled the ridiculous stunt of unpinning the starfish on his lapel that he was going to give Kennedy but decided not to because he's undeserving of it, I thought, "Please, RFK, Jr., pull out a crucifix and wave it at the fraud."
What a grade-school antic.
Only one? lol
I'd wear a necklace of garlic if i was to be near Warren.
How about a ghillie suit! lol
Brilliant! 😂

SimCom: are you aware of Ethical Skeptic's data analysis? 2-4,000 Americans currently dying every week from mRNA. https://theethicalskeptic.com/2025/08/28/the-state-of-things-pandemic/
I've seen it, hopefully we're getting close to being able to talk about it....
First sentence of his abstract reads:
"While the Covid mRNA vaccines may have provided a therapeutic effect during the fall 2021 B.1.617.2 variant wave, helping to keep some vulnerable individuals out of the hospital[...]".
Such caveat undermines, for me, anything else that follows. There is no way in hell the "covid vaccine" saved anyone from ANYTHING.
The sentence continues... "this benefit did not translate into reduced infection rates or into any arguable offset in overall mortality."
Both of these are backed by extensive analysis. Not reading this, is your loss.
"There is certainly a possibility that there may have been something that happened as a result and that it might have been a positive net outcome..."
Bernie and Warren, two massive disappointments from the purported progressive wing of the Democratic party, sound especially ridiculous. They were never revolutionaries, only toadies playing the part of controlled opposition.
ARE YOU SUPPORTIVE OF THESE ONESIES?!?!??!
Ex-fucking-zzzzactly!
Oh man! it's that guy again, he's everywhere. and he's usually right. can't wait to hear what he has to say.

You forgot the actual ghoul, Wyden, who is rolling in Big Pharma bucks but apparently they aren't doing him any good. He should not be weighing in on anyone else's health preferences.
They are under obligation to provide information to the committee that oversees their departments. With the advent of the livestream of the hearings the legislators of the opposition have been using their 5 minutes of power to get in front of the cameras and perform for their constituents. The committee members have no boundaries to their accusations. Yesterday was once again an example of a pack of monkeys throwing poo, not expecting a real response but to perform at the circus.
Do they have no consultants to tell them that behaving this way is repulsive to ordinary people? Is it not repulsive to ordinary people, does it work? I just can't get my head around it, they are so eager to behave in such repellent ways.
This is their idea of what "fighting for <fill in the blank>" looks like.
It doesn't help when the low-IQ voters chortle about how their champion just "owned" the bad guy. For too many people on both sides politics is entertainment rather than serious, rational debate. Too much of it is what I think the kids call "kayfabe".
I guess they are deranged. Trump has sucked out their tiny brains. Maybe they take an anger inducing pill before their performance.
The idiot junior senator from Minnesota (had never heard of her before--turns out she's a long-term Dem "consultant") actually told Kennedy she didn't want to hear an answer. YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME, she said.
I watched an old clip from MSNBC. The Senators were auditioning for Joy Reed’s old job. Name calling, spittle flying, eyes popping and not allowing the target speak. A new “The View”, is born.
"They are under obligation to provide information to the committee that oversees their departments."
Which they can and should do in writing. I don't see any legitimate need for this theater.
All of life is consumed with marketing, or to be more accurate, propaganda. The politicians are just actors in a particular form negative advertising.
Is there a legal reason why a member of the executive branch is required to be cross examined at will by the legislative branch? I thought only the initial appointments were subject to “advice and consent”. Executive branch appointees would be well advised to speak directly to the American people, and bypass corrupt institutions like congress and the media. They are BS artists and the bulk of Americans don’t care to observe their bizarre spectacles and attempts to manipulate the public narrative.
I'd rather have trans surgery without anesthesia than sit through hours of that crap.
Art - I’ve been wondering about that, too. Why does RFK Jr. Even attend these circuses? Does he *really* have to?
Whenever I see clips of Senators or Congressmen behaving like this in a hearing, it looks to me as if they've taken Roland Freisler as their role model.
(And I'm surprised the witnesses are allowed to keep their belts.)
But since they're Lefties, I suppose the antics of the Red Guard in those struggle sessions is the more likely paradigm.
". . . gaggle of mynah birds . . ." Nailed it.
Bernie said it out loud" everyone up here takes money from them ...does that make us ALL corrupt?
Why ,yes Bernie....it does.
They don't even try to hide it anymore.
There's a curious intersection between the manipulations and class incentives of elites, and the prejudices and confirmation biases of their normie supporters (who tend to also be prosperous, or to depend upon the bureaucratic state for sustenance or comfort). I've been surprised (although the surprise is wearing off) at how persistent the ideological assumptions of the moderate left have proven to be. I think that anyone looking at the situation without preconception would have recognized that the balance of evidence coming out of reality is massively tilting against their worldview... yet the same ~30% of voters never seem to waver in their hostility and close-mindedness.

I like your term of davidfrenching much better than kettling. I instantly get the former. The latter, meh. As for Lizzie Warren, she’s as attractive and persuasive as a limp noodle, with an anger complex. Must be lovely at Thanksgiving dinner.
Her husband didn’t want a beer because he was probably shooting up just to be able to be in same room as Pocahontas.
Looked like she was definitely out to get a scalp
Careful what you say about limp noodles. There may be Italians reading.
Overcooked pasta is to be shunned, I assure you!
Pasta al dente e buono, amico. No problemo. Ho vissuto in Italia per due anni.
Of course she’d be mad, thanksgiving commemorates the beginning of her people’s subjugation by the palefaces.
Chris Bray— Thanks for watching that freak shill show so I didn't have to. Gratitude to RFK.
They simply do not understand how ridiculous they look to most of us.
Actually, they don’t care. They don’t answer to us (even though they’re supposed to). They answer to lobbyists, the almighty dollar.
I think they are narcissists who don't think that other people are real. You see, they are the center of reality and everyone else is an NPC.
Those Senators are bought and paid for by BigPharma. RFK is derailing their gravy train. Which means they’ll be down to only insider trading and military contract kickbacks for their generational wealth creation. If this continues, these “public servants” will have to get by on a mere salary.
Well if they're really so avid to get those wonderful covid "vaccines" out to the public, maybe they'll be going to their doctors and taking their 9th, 10th, or 11th booster. How many does it take?
Yeah Bernie said it out loud. Both Demtoids and Repukes are on the Big Pharma teats. Never saw an animal with that many (435) teats.
Demtoids and Repukes 🤣. The images those appellations bring to mind are hemorrhoids and puking - so terribly apt I'll never be able to think of them any other way.
They already have "generational wealth". How much more do they think they need? How many generations are they trying to fund?!?
The answer, of course, is that greed is a difficult vice to shake and is never satisfied. They'll still be looking for a kickback on their way to their deathbeds.
It’s hard to distinguish who is most loathsome of those in your video excerpt, but that asshat Lujan, with his condescending, “My New Mexico accent,” bullshit, gets him to the top of my list.
I don't know if I've ever seen anything stranger in Congress than Lujan doing that bit about the starfish pin. It was like watching a patient on the brain injury ward.
I gotta say that Elizbeth Warren sure works hard for the money though. The pure psychic strain of maintaining her bent amoral intellectual positions would send any ordinarily sane person running for the hills! How does she ever bear up under all that cognitive dissonance without breaking down gibbering with PTSD? She must be made of sterner stuff than ordinary mortals. Could it be her Indian blood?
Who said prostitution wasn’t hard work? And pumping ain’t easy either.
Man… davidfrenching as a verb: brilliant.
Yeah, in junior high we all thought “frenching” was cool,…sadly, Chris just ruined it for me.
No, no, keep doing that kind!
There, you can’t get a better dig in at a conscripted mouthpiece than to call them by name. Davidfrenching it is!
But, wait! Local LA "news" programs assured me tonight that Trump and RFK, Jr, are trying to kill me and everybody, and do a lot of other bad shit!
Yeah, our local news sucks. Even the weather reports are biased.
You mean because the weather maps are all fire-engine red, Flaming-Cheetos orange, and hot pink now? Even for the beaches? In a "subtle" effort to make you think it's about 50 degrees hotter than it actually is? Because of climate change? Aagghh
I think it's all written in NYC, as we saw during Covid with compilations of local newscasters all across the country reading the same lines in unison. I suspect even the supposedly casual back and forth chatter among the metrosexual anchor, the female anchor, and the weather person is scripted.
I no longer watch weather forecasts. They’re truly unbearable.
Blowhard Pocahontas gives Karen a whole new meaning. Kennedy held his own , bravo .👏🏻
Back when she was playing her cheekbones and Pow Wow Chow recipe for Affirmative Action points, it was a standard point of feminism in the Ivy League that a woman should take care never to adopt a shrill, shrieky voice, lest the content of her words (if any) be lost on listeners (what with the eardrums bursting and all).
Her absurd shrieking in response to him setting her straight on outright distortions would have been funny...if my eardrums weren't bleeding and ruining my favorite flannel shirt.
I'd forgotten about "Pow Wow Chow"...yish!
i saw that shrieky pocohantas face and the first thing that came to mind was CHEROKEE PEOPLE!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ0gobSHgIs
Has anyone had AI do a shrieky Warren karaoking that?
That picture of Warren reminds me of my angry fourth grade teacher as she ranted at me for playing the organ, which she forbade us to do, in the basement of the Grange Hall where fourth grade was held in 1946. Of course I played it, and I have been disobeying authority ever since. Har har. Sic 'em Kennedy.
I hope you played "96 Tears." Or at least "In A Gadda Da Vida."
