That’s at the White House Halloween party, right?

That’s what George Santos was going to wear to the Halloween party in prison until Orange sprung him!

Preferably into a half-filled roll of silver dollars.

Wow! A Wienerfest!

Maybe Jamie should have drank more Activia!

That reminds me that I think Charles Schulz had a dark side. Especially in the early days, the characters often threw things at each other’s heads. The male characters were gentle; the women were shouters. The cartoons are still hilarious to me, but there’s often something dark lurking behind them.

Yes, they were ALWAYS here, and I think that’s why the popular vote in most of our presidential elections has been so close for decades.

I just flashed back to when I was a kid and used to get off on those cartoons. Luckily, it was just a phase.

Remember the photo from the ‘50s of Sophia Loren leering at Jayne Mansfield’s overflowing cleavage? I’m praying that Ms. Loren doesn’t see this new photo—it may kill her!

Ironic that she’s flaunting her knockers at a “Power of Women” ceremony. I don’t think that was the intent of the organizers. Maybe she thinks she has the “power” to knock someone down by flinging those things to one side or the other.

Absolutely. I’ve had to resort to white listing. On an iPhone, there’s a “Silence Unknown Callers” setting that restricts the sounding of ringtones to phone numbers in your contacts list. Other calls will go directly to voice mail.

Steve Bannon is an example of hard-line “Accelerationism” that seeks to destroy the government entirely and create an anarchy state that’s up for grabs. I think Johnson, et al. want to be sure THEIR bread will be buttered and so they are taking a more measured approach to Accelerationism.

I think it could very well happen. They can blame the Dems for the suffering. They can delay adding another Dem to the House. Orange can order the Treasury to wire the unspent money to a shell company in the Cayman Islands. They can hasten death of people in need of govt assistance. And on and on.

I think we probably get an endorphin rush when we see a beautiful man, so all bets are off when that happens!

I’ve only recently learned that Sweet Charity is based on Nights of Cabiria, but watching Giulietta Masina in just the final scene made tears stream down my face.

These days, bankruptcy is almost a badge of “honor” thanks to Orangina.

Hot DAMN that’s a great word! 🤤

Ah, that probably explains it. The YouTube interface capabilities sometimes differ among various front ends, such as iOS vs. Roku vs. Apple TV. I’ve got a Roku, so thanks for discovering a way to skip YouTube ads!
