There’s an ass of people who have been silently sweating BUCKETS since Jan. 7.Ā Ā Most of them now are looking around for bigger buckets.
Haha……mostly because they had been there and done that on Jan. 6.
back to bannon, here’s randy back in 2017 when said bootee got booted by the former booter-in-chief (for the 2nd time i think)
THE RANDY RAINBOW SHOW: “Yes! We Have No Steve Bannon”
The key to beating the slow motion legal kabuki dance over Congressional subpoenas is OSU use them on a short return date, refer it to DOJ when they donāt show. Get it to the grand jury and move the shitheads into the court system and get convictions before 1/1/23.Ā
Unshaven and working from home in cargo shorts as he moves into “Bannon the Barbarian” mode, Steve Bannon is thinking bigger than Breitbart.
Axios’ Jonathan Swan hears Bannon has told friends he sees a massive opening to the right of Fox News, raising the possibility that he’s going to start a network.
Bannon’s friends are speculatingĀ about whether it will be a standalone TV network, or online streaming only.
Before his death in May, Roger Ailes had sent word to BannonĀ that he wanted to start a channel together. Bannon loved the idea: He believes Fox is heading in a squishy, globalist direction as the Murdoch sons assume more power.
Now he has the means,Ā motive and opportunity:Ā His chief financial backer, Long Island hedge fund billionaire Bob Mercer, is ready to invest big in what’s coming next, including a huge overseas expansion of Breitbart News.
On Day 1,Ā Bannon declared he’s taking his West Wing infighting to the outside, tellingĀ Bloomberg Businessweek’sĀ Josh Green that he’s “going to war for Trump against his opponents ā on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.”
[…]
Bannon signaledĀ his subtle approach in a for-the-ages Weekly Standard interview: “The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over ā¦ I feel jacked up ā¦ Now I’m free. I’ve got my hands back on my weapons. ā¦ I am definitely going to crush the opposition. There’s no doubt. I built a f***ing machine at Breitbart. And now ā¦ we’re about to rev that machine up.”
[continues]
Well, Bannonās a class A asshat do he just might pull that off.Ā
RepublicansĀ love inflation, well, as it relates to the next election. As the economy struggles and household budgets are squeezed, 2022 looks better for Republican candidates.
Many store shelves were empty this morning. Prices are noticeably higher than even a month ago. The canned fruit aisle has been condensed to a few feet in length. I bought my can of Christmas pineapple today. Another woman was stocking up because, āwe just donāt know.ā
Republicans seem to want want to tank the economy. They are helped by their gas/oil industry buddies, as thatās a big driver of increased costs. But also weighing in is wage increases being passed on to consumers rather than being absorbed by those at that top of the food chain. And, not all wages have been increased. My company cut salaries and hours last year; no cost of living increase this year, either. Many have left for higher wages elsewhere. I weigh that against all of my PTO since I been at the company for a long time.
Itās still the economy, stupid, just like beforeā¦except it feels like itās reaching critical mass now.
ps – I still think POTUS Joe should have National Guard fix our supply chain. If thereās one thing the military knows how to do well, itās to move shit around.
With the darkness of standard time I find it easier to have a movie night almost every night.Ā Especially Saturday night.Ā While looking through the library I came across American Graffiti still in its shrink pack.Ā I did not remember when I bought it, but it must have been just floating around in the holders whenever I shuffled looking for a movie.Ā So, I cut the movie free from tis packaging and shoved in in the Blu-Ray machine.
I then got a wild thought and searched out the list of American movies released in 1973 (year of my first orders to Vietnam, I ended up not going long story).Ā I knew the year was special for movies, just how much is in the list.
Iāve seen 20 off of that list. I remember reading the paperback of American Grafitti with pics from the movie. The same with Jeremy, with pics of Robby Benson. The only movie on the list that Iāve seen more than once is Sleeper.
ā¦have seen a few of ā73s releases, probably enjoyed āPapillonā most
Fuck the supply chain, gluttonous Americans will survive, maybe lose a few pounds
When Greta Thunberg talks about the āfairy-tale of unlimited economic growthā, thatās the kind of thing to which sheās referring: Ā shipping literal boatloads of plastic around the world for it all to inevitably end up in landfills or oceans is unsustainableĀ
ā¦suppose thatās a good segue for this thought:
if we want to save the planet (i.e. ensure it continues to be comfortably habitable by humans), ban trash-collection.Ā
Easy-peasy. Ā Obviously there would be complex economic ramifications; alternatively we can watch the world burn. Ā Up to us
Food, too, Bink. And, unfortunately, all of the stuff is what keeps the economy moving. Inflation of necessities like food and affordable housing are killing personal economies. Some of that has to do with constipation at the ports and lack of drivers to get stuff across land.
Maybe a living, basic income. Thatās the only thing that will reduce both poverty and the quest for extra stuff.
Weāre not doing anything at the office, either, unless we bestow our pandemic arts and crafts on each other. Weāre not a big, gift-giving family. Dad gives me an almanac and peppermints; I give him a shirt. Iām thinking we might just call it off this year.
From what iāve gleaned over the years (your name, address, SS#ā¦ lol jk) youāre already living the lifestyle we all must to āSave the Planetā, so sleep easy tonight!
if Pandemic has taught us anything, itās that people tend not to make individual sacrifice solely for the greater good, they either need to be incented or punished, but weāve already known that for thousands of years, there are entire schools of political thought based on that phenomenonĀ (quite frankly itās a basic child-rearing concept, ideally)
Point being, only top-down regulation will effectively address environmental destruction, and we see how receptive Americans are to regulation
Thatās my time people, tip you waiter or waitressāļø
Nope. Ā Iām an American. I add to the planetās stress. Ā I donāt grow my own food and walk everywhere.Ā I have trash to throw āawayā every week. I use the AC or heat, although I try to use the ceiling fan or wear sweaters. A lot of what I do is just to not be wasteful, but that boundary is different for everyone. The only thing I do that has made any positive impact on the environment is not eating meat for 11 years. But, Iām not a vegan or a cyclist or a big recycler (only cardboard/paper recycling here). And, although I was sidelined for a decade and couldnāt travel, thatās no longer true and I flew this year. So many local economies struggle without tourism, which maybe means that some humans have more than they need because we donāt have to spend time working/saving for food and shelter.
Jimmy Carter asked folks to turn down the thermostat. We didnāt have a thermostat. We had a natural gas stove in the dining room and ice on the walls in the living room. We did save water by having an outhouse.
blueINdallas:Ā are we the only two here who used outhouses?Ā In my 2-room rural Indiana schoolhouse we had 2 two-holers;Ā at my first two homes, from 1949 when I was born until 1959 the homes we lived in had outhouses.Ā We had one small oil-burning vented stove to heat the whole house and until 1956, no summer air conditioner.Ā Most families had indoor plumbing, but some did not, like us.Ā Mom cooked on a full-size electric stove, we had one cold water spigot for the entire house, and heated bath water on the stove for sponge baths.Ā We we surrounded by hayfields, corn fields, bean and wheatfields and a junkyard with a gas station where we bought Baby Ruths and soda pop.Ā We had many garter snakes in the yard and also many blue racer snakes, which terrified me as a toddler.Ā Vietnam was a picnic after that! Ha!Ā Ā
dexter, they still have them here in ky.Ā as for me, many memories of the outhouse summers at grandma & grandpa’s farm in OKLA long ago as well as the one outside the “guest ” room at my BIL, the game warden, & sister’s place in the ID wilderness.Ā never forgot that unique aroma & ambiance.
