Opening a can of worms
Submitted by earthling1 on Tue, 08/16/2022 - 9:47amNothing is more divisive than the debate over electric vehicles. Even my own son is in the anti-EV camp and we go round and round regularly over ICE (internal combustion engines) and fully Battery Electric cars, and now trucks.
You know the world is in trouble when Kissinger is the voice of reason
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 08/15/2022 - 5:44pmHenry Kissinger will soon turn 100, proving that like Dick Cheney, evil men seem to live forever.
While Kissinger is mostly remembered for winning the Nobel Peace Prize for Vietnam while committing genocide in Cambodia, I prefer to remember his comments to the Iraqi Kurds just one year later, who he has inspired to revolt against Saddam Hussein and were being slaughtered.
“Promise them anything, give them what they get, and fuck them if they can’t take a joke.”

It is Mark, kneeling beside the 7-Eleven, feeling around on the sidewalk for the debit card he keeps losing.

First They Came for Bannon, Jones, and Trump
I don't care if you like these figures or not, you should be concerned about the perversion of law to attack people who are targets of the "deep state". Isn't it interesting how obviously guilty Hunter skates as the law is used and even stretched to persecute these people on the right. I'm not sure when the deep state/CIA/FBI married the DNC, but "Russiagate", the lack of prosecution of Hillary, and election engineering make obvious the connection. Hillary nor Biden could fill a room, when both Bernie and Trump were filling auditoriums and stadiums. Many Dims accept they were cheated in the 2000 election in Florida, and 2004 in Ohio, but can't fathom that Trump was cheated in 2020. Now I'm not saying he was, but I'm open minded about the possibility.
Album of the Week - 8-13-22
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 08/13/2022 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
Well, there's albums by Otis Redding and Chuck Berry. There's also a great album of Albert King and Otis Rush tunes that Youtube mysteriously split into 3 playlists - go figure! Rounding things out, there's another Savoy Brown album and a double live album by the Climax Blues Band.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the tunes!
