So, there's this theory floating around that James Talarico spent the past couple of weeks at an in-patient mental health facility in Ohio instead of being home recovering from the flu.
Now, I don't know if this is true, but people on here are posting interviews with hospital staff and flight records of charter jets flying between these two areas. Meanwhile, journalists "asked" his campaign and were told Talarico had the flu for 12 days and basically just shrugged their shoulders and said "Oh, okay."
It's hard to overstate how dead legacy investigative journalism is.
@willsextonx Rules based international order types seem to view every challenge to their dominance as an existential threat. Putin’s actions in Ukraine can’t be viewed in isolation and as having unique historical causes but only as the beginning of a quest for world domination.
@JeremiahDJohns 💯 Democracy is not about holding elections. It’s about having the courage to pull increasingly hapless men off of the street and send them to die for our fertile soil (in the unlikely event that they survive the war they will get to see what blackrock has planned for it).
@hpmcd1 I think you are catastrophizing. The dollars that Putin is going to get in exchange for this valuable Diesel oil will soon be basically worthless. Jokes on him really (and all of us really which is not as funny I guess and kind of undercuts my jokes on him sentiment here).
"My people are better than you and that's why I need access to your country. No, I obviously can't make my homeland better but I can take your homeland, which is better for reasons I'd prefer not to discuss."
This is a shocking amount of our immigration discourse
@martyrmade While my great aunt certainly enjoyed meeting you she was a little disappointed that you were not also in period costume. The flip flops were jarring to her.
@FunniestCatEver@EricLDaugh In whatever field of endeavor the amount you get to be terrible and get away with it is related to your ability. Sure it’s an excuse.
@FunniestCatEver@EricLDaugh Most good musical artists are difficult off putting weirdos or degenerate assholes. I think that s part of being a good songwriter.
I sat my 7-year-old down and explained to him that dying industries (legacy media, academia, DNC politics) ride algorithmically driven cultural hysterias both because it’s the only way they can stay relevant and because their business models demand it.
He looked up at me and with a tear in his eyes asked, ‘so, for the sake of the journos, the assistant professors, and Dem Politics Inc, we’re obligated to attest to the moral urgency of the hysteria and act completely emotionally dysregulated?’
‘Yes,’ I answered him. ‘Yes, that’s right.’
And then we both sat quietly.
@killaxxxcam 💯 Love Zach Bryan. New album is great. Of course, for what it’s worth, I still listen to Isbell because he is a good songwriter. I decided long ago that I’d rather stomach the shitlibery than listen to Kid Rock.
@stratrm@ConorMichael28 Yea you got me. Sometimes I reach a ceiling with these things and I don’t understand. Anyway, good luck with your war. You seem to be winning hearts and minds. I’m just a little slow.
