Unfortunately for the other 49 he’s term limited and looking for something to do!

And the barely engaged counter culture dipshits wanna focus on their core issues - spreading measles, yelling at trans kids, kowtowing to an incredibly unpopular guy in DC, etc.

Tonight, the election results are fun.

We can all laugh at how upset Donny Boy is gonna be.

Tomorrow will probably be a very, very bad day to be in a fishing boat anywhere near a Latin American nation.

The U.S. has struck again in its two-month-old campaign of bombing boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean. Sixteen boats sunk, at least 67 people dead.

I think he voted ZM but doesn’t want his donors to know.

Schumer sees ‘fund raising’ as the whole job.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 9h

I’ve been assuming Schumer’s non-endorsement of ZM is being done on a direct order from his big donors. It’s still a massive error but Schumer sees everything through the lens of ‘fund raising.’
Out dated and stupid.

Is this an ad for the government provided suicide pill in 'Children of Men'?

"We have a great product that really works. Now to find a spokesman and aesthetic that's synonymous with 'feeling and being chill.'"

Image of Bill O'Reilly's old ass endorsing a product called Relaxium in a cheap TV ad that's styled to look like Fox News.

Thanks. Great work, as always.

I don't think we can comprehend how much pain, violence and insane conspiracy theories every last American is gonna have to endure tryna put *this* toothpaste back in the tube.

That 'reasonable' GOPers were willing to cuddle up with this level of evil to win a few elections is perma-disqualifying.

So, how are things going over on the right?

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 2d

Palhinha makes tackles where he slides 17 yards, coming in so fast it always LOOKS like a horrible foul by a wild-eyed thug. In slomo you can see JP gets the ball, elegantly flicking out his foot at just the right time. He comes in like a maniac, but he's (usually) a surgeon.

Can't pass, though.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 2d

Can the USDA really 'prevent' privately owned store from doing stuff or is this just a BS letter (like the exec orders declaring chicken nuggets to be vegetables)? Is this just grocery chains toeing the MAGA line, or do they 'have' to follow along?

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 2d

In that scenario, Palhinha's ball winning was excellent and his shortcomings (making a forward pass to someone in w hite shirt) were less significant. As we became a more established PL side, his deficiencies became glaring and selling to Bayern for big $$ was a great move for us.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 2d

Fulham won the Cship with passing and better attacking talent than everyone else. The next season we were a small fish in the big PL pond and Palhinha was the destroyer that won back the ball and we did lots of long passes to Mitrovic and diaginal countering that skipped midfield altogether.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 2d

As a Fulham fan, I hear you. We were glad to not have his passing in our MF by time he left. Palhinha is an extreme solution, & helped newly promoted FFC, but less after.

I assume Spurs got him to stop the rot in defense that you had last season. He’s ‘amputation’ — a very extreme solution to rot.

Chuck realizes that if ‘drastic change’ becomes the direction the party takes, he’s already 100% toast. If he keeps shitting on ZM, what happens? He’s then 110% toast? Who cares!

Chuck’s doing whatever he can to keep ‘drastic change’ from arriving, not mitigating his exposure. He’s fully exposed.

Everyone goes on and on about how Michelangelo could see where humans were headed in the future and capture it in his art. Ol’ Micky ain’t got nothing on Hieronymus Bosch.

Reasonable point. The idea that people (even coastal elite types) in the US are upset by the aesthetics of some bathroom rather than being weirded out that our President is seemingly VERY focused on marble rather than *anything* that most voters would consider his real job is baffling.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 3d

yeah, sometimes it sure feels like Silva wants to make a point with his (non)selections.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 3d

We needed to sign another central MF in the summer and we didn't. We can't really afford to have Reed or TC even on the bench anymore - at least IMO.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 3d

I've been more negative about TC than most, but his sub appearances have been polarizing this year. 10% chance he's excellent and 90% he has been retired for three seasons.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 3d

Is the relevant issue the style of the renovation or the fact that he's celebrating the glitziness and luxury of what he's spending the public's money on at the same time folks are realizing how much their health plan will cost in 2 months and that their food benefits have disappeared?

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 4d

Very, very small chance a dum dum like Seagal is getting royalties at this stage.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 4d

I’m gonna guess this type of person has had a LOT of very bad ideas, but your point definitely stands.

Doug @dougstern.bsky.social · 5d

I think that it's easier for GOP candidates to deny R positions bc normie voters already don't believe that stated R positions are possibly real.
