Personally I think they should face stiff fines or jail time considering the disruption their climb caused.

You think?

Platner’s tattoos can be written off as a youthful poor choice. 

However , no Democrats are covering up for the current allegations of sexual assault. Mtierney - you are confused because you have been covering for a rapist for some time now and think that is normal. 

Another one related to handicapped spaces. They are not cart corrals. That extra space is to let people with mobility restrictions maneuver better. 

I honor today's holiday.

Caught the last 15 mins. Well, done.

Got some echo on your voice... intentional? Not a lot. I could still make out the words, so I'm thinking just an effect. 

Thanks, Dave.  Song selection is part of the fun. I spent weeks selecting and arranging those songs. Tune in next week. It will be a very diff show.

The WSJ asks why? Why, indeed? My guess is that Democrats fear an attack from the NSDNC and the DNC,  which hasn’t a clue who they are — or even what a winnable direction might be.

Why Did They Cover for Graham Platner?

The man with the Nazi tattoo was pushed by the leading Democrats.

I assume, by this point, you've broken every single wall in your glass house.

Iuliia Mendel from four years ago in this thread. "Russia is fully isolated information. Russian media tells only the Kremlin message and propaganda and lies and manipulates. It even doesn't have any logic in the messages." Nothing has changed.

I just listened to this on WNYC -

Zelenskyy's former spokesperson writes about working with the Ukrainian president : NPR

I know that there are some smug Americans who'll call her a liar, a Nazi, etc., but we don't care about those opinions.

Now with transcript (so you can read it instead of just having to listen).

A sample -

MENDEL: Russia is fully isolated information. Russian media tells only the Kremlin message and propaganda and lies and manipulates. It even doesn't have any logic in the messages. Ukraine fully collaborates with international media and with American media, and we are very grateful for this because American media did an amazing job to help us spread the word and to stand for Ukraine to unite the world around this battle for democracy.

But if you ask me about Zelenskyy and Putin, they are really from different age, and they have different worldview. Putin is from old age. And what I mean when I say this, I don't mean age. I mean they have - they are outdated. He and his team, they have very outdated worldview.

KELLY: And you've met him, we should mention.

MENDEL: Yeah, we met. We met during the Normandy meeting in December 2019. And, you know, he surprised me for the reason that everybody considers that he's such a strong man because he developed this narrative. But in fact, when I saw him negotiating the peace, he was not strong at all. He was really a very weak negotiator for the reason that for the last 23 years, he has never negotiated anything. He just orders something and waits that people deliver the result.

The problem with details and definitions is that your focus on that functions as a distraction and does not support the main idea.

The good thing about details and definitions is that they prevent main ideas from being vibes.

Miserable fat Belgian bastards.

I mean: Phlegms.
