Pls keep this narration going; it seems to be covering all important points and saving me from reading elsewhere.

Right now the rapper from the anti-Target video is talking about an election being stolen. Not sure which one he's referring to.

J.D. Vance@JDVance1Until Merrick Garland stops using his agency to harass Joe Biden’s political opponents, I will hold all DoJ nominees.

Fun Fact: JD Vance (then known as "James") lived* across the street from my buddy in Bernal Heights, SF about 8-10 years ago, back when he was just a garden variety techbro.
*501 Franconia St for those Zillow curious.
Kinda crazy what a decade can do (though he was working for Thiel at the time so he probably drank the koolaid and some).

Huh, the other side of the hill from me. Figures I guess. I heard one time Charles Johnson (remember him?) was around here some years back.

Were there any telltale signs of his current thing in that book of his? I received it as a gift, never read, dropped it at a little free library last year.
― omar little, Tuesday, 13 June 2023 19:28 (ten months ago) link
Lots of Bernal residents on this board iirc ;-)
Yeah that's what was surprising to my (longtime neighborhood resident) friend who said JD and his POC wife (note: they both used different names back then, is that a MAGA thing?) were active in their neighborhood projects (cleanups of neighborhood open space/public stairwells, garden) and seemed pretty non-sociopathic. Then they moved away and JD grew a beard and adopted this whole hillbilly rustbelt salt-of-the-earth persona.

Charles Johnson (remember him?)
The Little Green Footballs Charles Johnson, or the Trump-loving sociopath Charles Johnson?

The latter.

Trump at Cafe Versailles, of course.

Hopefully he throws it at folks like the toilet paper.

And, I gotta say, this sequence of events made me sick: these people look like my aunts, uncles, and neighbors.

Would be funny if what finally puts him away is fraudulently claiming that restaurant bill on his taxes.

there is a zero percent chance he’ll ever pick up the tab for anyone. this has never happened. I assume when he sits down at someone else’s table at his country club, the food goes on their bill/membership

why can't Democrats do this
― symsymsym, Wednesday, 14 June 2023 01:20 (ten months ago) link
as usual, he isn't actually doing anything:
Details: The Ohio Republican is going to put holds on all nominees to the Department of Justice. That means all nominees will require procedural votes and confirmation votes; any one senator can slow down nominees, but a simple majority is required both for a procedural vote and final confirmation.“If Merrick Garland wants to use these officials to harass Joe Biden’s political opponents, we will grind his department to a halt," he said in a statement.Most DOJ nominees require procedural votes given the complexities in getting all 100 senators, particularly on the GOP side, to agree on a speedy vote.The policy does not apply to U.S. marshals, though it does apply to U.S. attorneys. Vance supports Trump in the 2024 primary.

like you're not even slowing them down because your party already grinds these votes to a halt, you're just doing nothing and wanting people to suck you off for it

I feel like a lot of the policies that come out of supposedly liberal cities due to the structure of moneyed/powered/embedded interests are responsible for dysfunction in those places and Vance types say how horrible those cities are and then… full-heartedly just spell out those policies and try to make them true everywhere?“the problems in SF are terrible, and that’s why we need policies that will make all places have the issues that exist there”

(re: jd vance, i forgot to mention that Hillbilly Elegy is one of the funniest movies i've seen in years. like, in a way that i didn't think anyone even made movies anymore. like, in that way that me and my sister used to endlessly recite lines from horrible t.v. movies when we were kids. that kind of funny.)

My insight is that Glenn Close is a terrible actress.
― the dreaded dependent claus (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 14 June 2023 21:50 (ten months ago) link
Glenn Close is a trashy actress who gets confused for a proper actress because she's got one of those Streep/Barkin faces. Used properly (The Shield, Damages, Fatal Attraction), she's great.

^ Yes, I was gonna say that, but you did first. Malkovich and Close got to 'villain up' in that one and tore into it with happy abandon.
