I toured the original Air Force One yesterday, and it's kinda awe-inspiring to think "Wow, LBJ took a crap here".

Happy Father's Day, Pa. Dropped out to enlist in WWII, went to the Pacific, came back with PTSD, and an ability to MacGyver the hell out of any problem (which my sister and I inherited). We were the center of his world. Aside from Big Band Jazz. Went to see Count Basie at the Aragon and met Mom.

The media's approach to this is dismal. Reporters say there's no "evidence" of mass election fraud as a box-checking exercise. They ignore all the evidence prosecutors and legislators found that Trump knew his 2020 lies were lies. www.offmessage.net/p/confront-t...

Steven Soderbergh made a little known and underrated movie called "High Flying Bird" where, during an NBA lockout, an agent (wonderfully played by André Holland) played some 4th dimensional chess demonstrating the possibility of this to some flat-footed owners. Streaming on Netflix.

If you have any evidence of this election fraud that you're sure happened, let's hear it. Or is it really just some feelings you have? And MN is my fault? Because I refuse to live in your fantasy land where feelz prevail over fact?

I’m still in awe over all the dumb fuck law firms, tv networks, and universities that caved to Trump. More or less everyone who has stood up to Trump has won and everyone who didn’t has suffered an endless series of humiliations.

I can actually see this happening. They agree to surrender their U235, but only in a magnificent palace ceremony where it is personally handed over to Trump. In gold painted crates adorned with "Trump: The Great Dealmaker". But the crates aren't neutron shields.

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

“You are an abolitionist, ain’t you?”
“As to that, I cannot so readily answer. If by abolitionist you mean a zealot, I am none; but if you mean a man, who, being a man, feels for all men, slaves included, and by any lawful act, opposed to nobody’s interest, and therefore, rousing nobody’s enmity, would willingly abolish suffering (supposing it, in its degree, to exist) from among mankind, irrespective of color, then am I what you say.”
“Picked and prudent sentiments. You are the moderate man, the invaluable understrapper of the wicked man. You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right.”

I graduated 10 years earlier than him from the same college (Urbana) with the same degree. The engineering department didn't want their graduates to end up like this, so they required 9 hours of Humanities in the same discipline. I chose Philosophy. What the fuck did he choose?
