I'll probably be flipping between CNN, NBC, and probably PBS if they have coverage.

What station you got?

 

[DaveXA]

Not sure what the source is but German news is reporting that Melania is seeking a divorce.

That wouldn't shock me, but I haven't seen or read anything confirming that here.

Two years ago called, they want their record back.

Actually Complex Kid and I have a secret Phoebe Bridgers crush that we talk about only in PM. Not long after that album came out, I was in a coffee shop, there was only one other customer and the girl working the shop - probably no more than 20. She put that album on and I got up to leave after about four or five tracks in. I was walking past her and said "Better Oblivion Community Center - nice!" And she was like "yeah" but I think she was surprised this 40-something dude in work slacks knew the album.

Oh, I know it's two years old. Just started listening to it again and fell in love with it all over again. I too have had a Phoebe Bridgers crush for years. I went and saw them at Stubbs in Austin last year. The covers they do live are amazing. you should check them out on YouTube.

Glad to find information about my birthday.

The accent he starts off with and the smile at the end make me think he was deliberately trolling them. Especially if it was the text of an actual Hitler speech.

I hope this gets more airplay, actually. I want everyone at that rally to see themselves clapping and cheering Hitler's own words.

Not necessarily. Reddit says that it's this guy:

Youtuber painted face black, used N-word and mocked George Floyd death

The Australian YouTube star, who goes by the name of CatboyKami, painted his face black, and uttered racial slurs to black people on the randomised chat website.

Same here! I will see if they list a source and report back.

Wow, that guy is so messed up.

Wow, that guy is so messed up.

He made a political compass meme dressed in blackface and yellowface. He's a racist shirt.

I can't stand Copeland. I wish he'd just retire or go away.

I have echoed this. For those not on my Facebook, here is what I posted there in response to some of my wife's Trump friends calling for people to bE NiZe!

------------------------

I have a thing about bullies. My stepfather was a bully. Not the kind of well-intentioned bully some fathers unintentionally become, he was a man that reveled in hurting women and children. He reveled in the pain of those weaker than him. The day I saw him run for his life from my grandfather when I was a kid was a moment of cathartic release I can't fully put into words.

So as a young man and into adulthood I've enjoyed taking it to bullies to give those victimized by them that release because I understand it.
Angie Waller has personally witnessed me chop bullies down, both physically and verbally. It's how I roll. It's how I've taught my children to roll, because a bully is just a coward hiding behind false bravado. Strip away the facade and you reveal how weak they are just like my grandfather did.

The friends of bullies are a whole other animal. They may not participate, but their silent complicity emboldens the bully. They never have a word to say about all the pain the bully inflicts but as soon as the bully gets punched in the mouth they want to jump up and play peacemaker. They go full Rodney King, "can't we all just get along?" Well yeah, we can. After I finish enjoying this moment. After my catharsis.

So to all the people who have had a rough time, been told **** your feelings, called a snowflake, told how good your tears taste, and been subjected to racist rants and taunting, enjoy your catharsis. The bullies have been punched in the mouth. Gloat. Have fun. Enjoy your moment ya' crazy snowflakes.

When it's over, work with the friends of the bullies that sat in silence but now want to play peacemaker to repair the wounds. I believe in that. I believe in reconciliation, just not in weakness. A nation divided can not stand, and we have wounds to heal.

But have your moment first. Don't get shamed out of it.

I had to stop and think if Laura had started writing for The Onion. You can't make this stuff up.

I posted this below not long ago and variations of it on the EE for years

I HATE bullies, but of all the things I hate about them one of the things I hate the most is the "please be nice' when the tables have turned.

And the moral dilemma of the bullied & victimized - do I go against my character and exact some measure of revenge and retribution? Or do I offer an olive branch? Even knowing they will probably revert to form if roles switch again?

We've talked about this before on the EE

If you bully a bully are you a bully?

What does it mean if you are hateful to someone who is hateful to you first?

I'm also not a huge fan of when the shoe is on the other foot NOW there's a call to be decent and kind and respectful and compassionate

"Please don't treat me the way I treated you, be better than me"

And suppose that's exactly what happens and roles switch again

It's possible that the original bully says, "I was terrible to you, and when you had the chance to be terrible to me you weren't, I've learned my lesson and now that I'm in charge again I will be kind to you"

In my experience that rarely happens and what's far more likely to happen is he goes right back to acting like he did before and if anything thinks you're a sucker for not doing the same

This is frankly as good if not better than any Onion parody I've read. Lol.

Has anyone verified if he was actually a poll or ballot watcher at all??

I dunno, that he's a convicted sex offender tells me all I need to know. Some credible witness, lol.

That there are 70+million people that find this administration competent at anything is disheartening. Trump has spent his entire adult life showing the world that he is incompetent and yet, people still buy his snake oil...that says more about them than it does the man himself.

I remember when George Bush had James Baker go down to Florida to be his front man back in 2000. This is not that. Hahahaha
