PopeBeanie:

Where does this guy get that the U.S. Postal Service is not a Government Agency?

The U.S. Postal Service and the power to establish post roads were explicitly set up in the U.S. Constitution, it’s postal rates are approved by Congress, it’s Postmaster is approved by the U.S Government. And after it got cheaper competition from…[Read more]

Well ok then, thanks for y’all being candid.

Now back to our regular programming, the Trump Show, Episode Fudging with Elections.

Pope,

I don’t know how you got impression others are not worried or bothered by the Maggot trajectory.

I was singularly unimpressed by Scaramucci. Ethnic NY Italian section is really cool. But in terms of offering a reasoned basis for optimism in ANYTHING he said. No siree. Sir nope. Great Depression. Civil War. Ok. So what? Challenges are so…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

I’ve been expecting American politics and authoritarinist success to keep getting worse, and they have. I don’t get why others here don’t seem to be as worried or bothered by it. So I hope it’s because I’m wrong.

We’re all concerned. It’s just that Authoritarianism comes in many flavors and from many directions and nowadays everythin…[Read more]

I’ve been expecting American politics and authoritarinist success to keep getting worse, and they have. I don’t get why others here don’t seem to be as worried or bothered by it. So I hope it’s because I’m wrong. In any case, I ran into a more optimistic view that includes a more optimistic prediction, and it reminds me that we’ve survived similar…[Read more]

Here’s one of the best summaries I’ve seen in a while, of relatively current news, and without a lot of hype (IMO).

(Maybe mentioning “Mush Brains” [sic] came close to hype, but that’s just me thinking of Trump as a mentally defective, parentally abused victim, but which the world would have been better…[Read more]

Reg and Fellow Unbelievers:

I just recognized something: Where is the latest Sunday School?

Did Israel have a day without bomb shelter drills?

Did Christian Nationalists start considering Crusades to be forbidden work?

Did Mullahs now issue a Fatwa stating that Jihad after Eid al-Adha was forbidden?

Are Hindus still resting from…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

Faith No More also did their cover of “Easy” that would be sure to outrage both MAGA and the ex-MAGA Nick Fuentes/Tucker Carlson/Candace Owens/Megyn Kelly audience:

PopeBeanie:

I kinda wished that Lionel Ritchie and The Commodores had stayed and sang some reworded versions of their songs to riff Trump:

“I wanna be HIGH…like Elon!”
*ZZZZAAAAAPPP!*
“I wanna be free to know the things I do are FCC-approved!”
“I wanna be free! Just me…without tarrifs paying for slush funds and vanity!”

“‘Cause I’m EASY!…[Read more]

Short:

PopeBeanie:

Fear not. My question was not a “Gotcha”. If you served, I salute your service in whatever capacity.

Members of the Armed Forces deserve our respect, regardless of the ridiculousness of foreign policies set by Congress and the Presidency.

PopeBeanie:

I am still trolling for fighter jet video companions. I’ve learned A LOT ever since air power would potentially be an issue during the Ukraine invasion. Air Force veteran here who did not even know the difference between any fighter jets, just radar jammers.

Oh, had you served?

Maybe that’s what Sleepy Don is dreaming about. /smh

I don’t take the closed eyes as a problem as seriously as many do. The poor guy stays up until the wee hours on social media for us.

PopeBeanie:

Nothing distracting meant here. It all revolves around Trump in some way or another, since it is his world. /Sarcasm

And they say we hold nothing sacred:

‘Looks bored’: Onlookers crack up as Trump appears to be asleep at event for dead soldiers

OK, fine. I can flood the zone with off-topic, distracting shit too. USA F-22 Raptor, the most capable fighter jet (with SEAD) in the world at the moment, up against two different kinds of fighter jets, basically guns-only. These dog fights will be unusual because the F-22 is also the stealthiest fighter in the world, so it would be winning the…[Read more]

OH MY GOD.

They found fossils of the original Palestinians. The genocidal Zionists in their diabolical ways formerly known as Australopithekike were trying to eradicate our cherished paradigms of goodness.

As it was in the beginning..

Just a bit of pedant punnery to add here for added annoyance, but ackshuyally, all of Ethiopia is Afar…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

I’m wondering it behavior like this is just not interesting to enough people any more? About 9 minutes:

It’s not that it’s not interesting, it’s just that every other fiasco from Trump and MAGA and the ineffectual opposition is also interesting. Everything is a distraction from everything else.

It’s like MAGA muse and W…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

Whoa, nice factoid. I think I’ll remember this. I mean, I want to transmute enough brain cells to accomodate a more permanent memory. Salamandering, too? I always recall seeing districts with only a highway-wide corridor connecting two distinctly separated areas.

Well, the proper lesson to derive from the factoid is that G…[Read more]
