At under 18 months I drew on my grandma’s new fancy wallpaper….the getting dragged into the other room and the spanking I got is my first memory.
My second memory was while our house was being built, so I was under 2, and I climbed out on the exposed beams above the atrium, about 35 ft up and 30ft out on 10” wide beams…my mom held it together until I toddler walked back to solid ground then lost her shit. I was trouble.

Multiple people have been arrested for starting these and other fires in LA. A man with a propane torch was caught lighting Xmas trees and garbage cans that seem to be the start of the Kenneth fire, a woman was caught starting fires near Palisades on the 8th (her fires were reportedly put out, so maybe not the start of that fire) and there’s footage of what’s claimed to be people starting fires in what looks like down town LA tonight.

One of two “super scoopers” on loan from Canada is out of commission after hitting a civilian drone this morning, further hampering efforts. Fortunately the plane managed to land safely with a hole in its wing and not crash into residential LA.
It is a crime to fly a drone in an active disaster area, with a $75k fine and up to 12 months in prison.
Firefighters lost water pressure when PG&E shut off electricity to the pumps that maintain water pressure to keep the lines from sparking new fires, again hampering fire fighting efforts. They are working on getting generators attached to the pumping stations to restore pressure.
At least one new fire started in LA today, suspected of being arson.
This already looks to be the most costly natural disaster in American history, and it is still unfolding.

I hope Biden manages to deliver the aid he has promised before he leaves office. The felon will clearly try to block any aid to a blue state out of personal spite and will leave us to fend for ourselves. (If only we could do the same)

Reminds me of the ass hats that abuse people in public and when someone is about to knock their teeth out shout “it’s a joke!”…they should all end up toothless….for laughs.
Jan 6 was a terrorist attack against America more damaging than Sept 11, it is not a joke.

I've always wondered... why nobody that got in the pileup honks and create a loud cascading effect to alert the incoming ones and slow down to minimize the carnage?

Is that a thing? Does it help? Is it realistic (understand people are in shock and/or physically hurt, so it's not as easy as what coming out of my mouth)? I'm not sure.

Of course. My take was the lyrics could literally come out of Musk's mouth verbatim IRL and no sane person should be surprised he meant every word of it.

The campaign publicly admitted Gaetz isn’t a good candidate for AG, but he is not meant to be a good AG he is meant as quote- “a big middle finger to the DOJ and FBI.”

And it turns out he brought the sex trafficked under age sex workers to Fox News to show them off in 2018-19 and he used his son’s name to hide his payments to them for sex on Venmo and other apps.

Don’t forget Cawthorn (hard core Republican) who quit congress because Gaetz wouldn’t stop trying to get him to come to his drug fueled sex parties with underage girls. This isn’t news to the house or Republicans, they knew it for years and years and years.

The next 4 years may destroy America….they will certainly harm it severely with this caliber of leadership.

I love a good real angry haka, and I’m only disappointed it wasn’t followed by dozens of half naked warriors wielding war clubs rushing in and braining the representatives who put forth the bill she’s protesting.

What she’s tearing up there is a bill creating a new interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi which was signed in 1840 by the British and 500 Māori chiefs to describe how the government(s) would operate and what rights the native people would retain….but those rights would be curtailed and limited to the point of being wiped nearly out of existence with any civil/tribal rights expansions won in the last 184 years erased by the new “interpretation”.

Needs more rage.

You should watch-

Also….another one-
The 29-year-old worship director from Oakwood Church in Augusta Township, Michigan, Zachary Joseph Radcliffe, faces 11 felony counts with charges dating back a decade. He was arraigned two weeks ago on two counts of aggravated child, sexually abusive activity, two counts of child sexually abusive activity, and six counts of using the internet to communicate with another to commit a crime, he could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted. The charges stem from incidents as early as 2014, according to court records.
Odd that it always seems to be the maga pastors and leaders with child rape and kiddie porn cases sticking, don’t you think? Even odder how often it turns out their “Conservative Christian” groups are found to have covered it up for years or decades (like here, the crimes being investigated have been happening consistently since 2014).
Maybe because the leader is partners in crime with Epstein and approves?
This guy is a huge maggot, on stage with the big guy and his family in his red hat over and over, performed at C-PAC….of course they’ll try to say they don’t know him just like all the others, ignore all the pictures and events they did together, he’s just some guy, probably a liberal…yeah-yeah…that’s it.

“They will know you by the company you keep”…lots and lots of convicted child rapists and convicted felons (convicted of crimes of moral turpitude) in Trump’s company.

*doublepromote a *quality and pertinent bit of information I wish more people learned in school.
Tariffs don’t stimulate economies, they stifle them and start trade wars that are always losers for consumers, they add a national sales tax to any tariffed imports, and the countries targeted always reciprocate making it hard or impossible to compete on the international markets and hurting American companies.
Our last Trump tariff/trade war with China was a horrific failure costing hundreds of billions of dollars, hurting American farmers (had to bail them out for $50 billion more and thousands closed shop), manufacturing, supply lines, and consumers…all for absolutely nothing gained.
Get ready for round 2 to feel like Glass Joe was replaced with Tyson…up to 200% tariffs across the board are going to absolutely destroy the economy in extremely short order.

Also Ben Stein’s birthday

You are partly correct, when he gets into office, the numbers will have already plummeted….
…plummeted because businesses are reeling from the implications of his stated plans (like up to 200% tariffs, and killing the ACA and putting all healthcare costs back on employers and the resulting loss of work) and have started cutting workforces drastically, stopped hiring, and are halting bonuses and promotions so they can afford to buy all of next years stock before Jan 21 when it will cost significantly more. Others are preparing to close because they work in multiple countries, shipping back and forth during production, and tariffs of any size are going to kill their businesses, so better to get out before they’re forced out and broke.

The major economic downturn started Nov 5th. and is accelerating.

"They Just Got Handed Fraudulent Books" - Ed Dowd Confirms Our Warning That Trump Is 'Inheriting A Turd Of An Economy'

Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is a skillful financial analyst who said in May the economy was skidding. Now, Dowd predicts the economy is poised to “roll over” and soon.

"I have never seen such blatant manipulation of government statistics.

There is government spending and government hiring to paper over what is truly a bad economy for the average man. When I was asked prior to the election who do you think will win the election, I said Trump has already won, according to the economic statistics. That’s why he won. Bobby Kennedy helped along with Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, lots of people switching and what have you. What really got Trump in was the economy, the real economy, not the stock market.

It was not the ‘everything is hunky-dory’ pablum from the mainstream media.

The real economy has been rolling over, and we are just waiting for the financial markets to figure this out.

When they do, Trump is going to inherit a turd of a financial market crisis.

Government statistics will be updated, and it will show we started a recession sometime this year...

Your evidence?
Russian bloggers on twitter?
Beyoncé, Lizzo, Megan, Eminem, the Harris campaign and official campaign financial records all say it’s 100% bullshit spread from Twitter accounts.
You bought and repeated another stupid lie without checking it out, because you don’t care if it’s true you just love to talk shit like a spoiled little girl.

The Harris campaign, as of Oct. 17, lists only one endorsement-related expenditure — for $75 — in its Federal Election Commission financial reports. It was made to the League of Conservation Voters, a pro-environment nonprofit, in June, when President Joe Biden was still running for reelection.

https://www.factcheck.org/2024/10/posts-make-unfounded-claim-about-beyonces-endorsement-of-harris/
Sorry, not sorry, liar, another stupid lie debunked as soon as you spout it.

Why is it that you continue to buy every stupid lie you’re sold and never are embarrassed or apologetic when your stupid insulting lies are proven to be lies? Must be because you have no morals or ethics left, and we’re never smart.


By comparison….
The felon’s campaign finance records showed he had to pay actors to pretend to be auto workers, union workers, blacks for Trump, etc…paid people to show up at his rallies and post a picture to prove it, etc…Elon had to pay millions for votes (and is being accused of hacking the election using Starlink to edit the data it transmitted, then crashing the satellite to erase the evidence…14 million missing votes, recounts started!)…every single relationship he’s ever had including familial has been transactional.
If you actually had a problem with that, you wouldn’t support the felon who only has paid spokespeople who make millions themselves…parking lot attorney Alina Habba?!? How many millions did she get paid?
Even Melania had to get paid $250000 to stoop to speaking for 15 minutes to support her husband.

THAT is a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!

You also have conceded that you expect every metric of the economy to be worse under Trump than it has been under Biden, you can’t come up with a single measure you expect to improve in the next 4 years…and have telegraphed your nonsensical intent to blame Biden for Trump’s economy and accept no blame despite holding full control of all 3 branches of government. If only your people had been honest about that before the election things would be different.

I thought you wouldn’t be able to pin yourself down on any way the next 4 years will be “better”…I was 100% correct.

You might note he and Musk have admitted their economic plan will lead to a depression by next summer, they just think they can rebuild better after they destroy the economy.

Shocker…all maga advisors have already come out to say “yes, project 2025 is real and is our actual agenda.”
Anyone with a brain knew it, sadly that’s only about 1/4 of America. Well…248 years of democracy is still a pretty good record. It would have been nice to see 250 though.

Any Latinos who voted for him are about to find out that even naturalized citizens aren’t safe from their plan…worried?….Puerto Ricans aren’t even safe (recall he wants to “trade” PR for Greenland, and has plans to return Alaska to Russia). It’s going to be interesting times, especially for non white males.
I wonder what his plans for Hawaii are. Are they going to be Chinese in 2 years?
