I've never seen Biden and living people in the same room.

Why didn't Ashli Babbitt do more to prevent Biden's death? According to Trump, Biden doesn't know if he's alive.

You may have noticed there is more than one Borg queen. They take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major decisions.

If you ever wanted to know what would happen to all the Christians when the communists take over, the Reverend Estus W. Pirkle has the gory answer.

Directed by Ron Ormond, an exploitation filmmaker who found Jesus but still used his exploitation sensibilities to make this film. Rev. Pirkle is not very charismatic, but Ormond apparently thought very highly of him. The "actors" he was able to find for the film are not exactly talented.

Keep an eye out for my three favorite scenes, all three about kids:

• The kids in the classroom with the candy
• The kid who wants to know where his parents are
• The kid and the two communists who have a stick.

There is an LP version of the sermon in this film. The band Negativland sampled it for their song Christianity is Stupid from the Escape From Noise album, which is where I first heard any of this.

By the way, almost every single person in this movie is ugly. Like it's kind of amazing how ugly everyone is.

Edit: found a collage of screenshots.

I don't think that target audience is paying attention to CNBC.

Humor is subjective. I thought it was funny.

My mom is also from Queens. Rockaway Beach to be specific. A plane crashed into her old neighborhood in 2001 (no, not 9/11) and destroyed it.

Queens is really big. 108.1 mi² according to Google. There is a lot of bad and there is a lot of good about Queens.

One thing I liked is that there is a long history of shooting films there going back to the 1920s and there's still a studio there. Inside is also the Museum of the Moving Image. I never got a chance to go any of the times I went to New York:

There's also Flushing Meadows, which is a great park. It's where the 1939 World's Fair was held.

And, of course, even though her neighborhood is gone, the beach is still there.

Apparently Putin wants both.

It's pretty good, but you need to add in a mention of his uncle who went to MIT and how that means he has very good genes and knows all about this stuff.

There was also the guy with the goose. Turns out he was a DNR employee cleaning up roadkill. But, again, black therefore Haitian.

This is also Gary Oldman. From The Darkest Hour.

 
 

My thoughts: this was not an accident. This was testing the waters.

I wonder what the person who absolutely insisted to me yesterday that this wasn't about black people in general would have to say about this...

 
 

These folks are scary and nuts.

 

You fucking morons. No one sabotaged Trump. He got mad when she said people left his rallies, started ranting about eating dogs and the crazy train never stopped.

The moderators never made him say all the crazy shit he said. They didn't make "they're eating the dogs" a meme.

 
 

Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.

“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.
