As example, you cannot sell liquor within 500 feet of a school building (a far cry from the protections on free speech though)

I've seen protests done across the street from my old building. There was a sidewalk on our side of the street but we called the cops on them so they moved to the other side where we had no recourse to address their being there.

This is making the rounds this morning and it's too good not to share

Don't like puppets? Ok, how about just a major cringe quote?

CNN's Rick Santorum: "We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes we have Native Americans but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture"

"I mean, yes we have Native Americans but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture, because we slaughtered almost all of them (tee-hee!)."

FTFY, Rick!

Emphasis on CNN here. CNN knew he was a pile of shit before the signed him. He said loathsome things on air and defended outrageous behavior, and has consistently showed himself to be a pile of shit again. Can we get a few reasonable Conservatives...please? They are practically an endangered species now.

Yeah, I was surprised to see Mr. Sanitarium on CNN, I suppose it was their version of "fair and balanced" coverage. Hard to even suggest a reasonable conservative at this point. Perhaps Tom Nichols? But he is probably labeled a communist by the right.

It's tough because they are really that wacky now. Tom Nichols appears on MSNBC FWIW. CNN has made some real shit choices here beyond Santorum. I mean the Corey Lewandowski experiment after he left the Trump campaign? Really? The guy is a horrible human being by multiple accounts. That he appeared on Fox drunk and got fired by OANN since then really puts a point on it.

As if my admiration for LeVar Burton wasn't big enough, he had to go and perfectly (and politely) explain to Meghan McCain the nature of "Cancel Culture".



While I do think it gets out of hand at times, LeVar helped me to understand a little more as to just why it is important. Seriously, why isn't he a politician or ambassador or something.

Also, I can't ever hear his voice or see his face without thinking "More fish for Kunta!" at first.

He did a podcast recording hosted by WBEZ in Chicago a few years ago. Took the kiddo and she got to meet him and chat a bit.

Goddamn, the man is cut.

I don't know. Trump seems to be more lazy about it sounds more like Gina. I didn't really hear the resemblance

What I hear is McCarthy's pronounciation has a clear break in the way he spoke with a held 'Chayna'. It is definitely softer than Hannity's which is spot on for a Trump imitation witch exaggerates the 'ay' sound and has the clipped harsh 'na' at the end IMO.

Masks made in China? This goes deep.

Never forget that Kevin McCarthy is one of the dumbest people ever elected to the House of Representatives.

I wonder if the scandal will include suits made in Italy?

Indeed. What else does Socialist Joe have that’s made in China?! Cel-phone?!?!

Every time I see Fox News or Republicans bringing up lame schoolyard "scandals" like this, it feels like a victory. They are absolutely floundering trying to drum up anything on him.

They can make up whatever they want. Their base follows them and repeats it.

Yeah but their base isn't going to vote for him anyway.

GOP "Biden breathes air! Your air! He is selfish!" "Also he puts his pants on one leg at a time. Does he have no shame!?" "He is going to make the rich pay fairer taxes" "My God, what will he do next to America?"

This is where we are.

Hey, he has NewsMax too!

This man is a Senator and he's rambling on Twitter like some random old person in a diner while eating pancakes on a Sunday morning.

https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/statu ... 8227006465

These cable companies are getting to big like goggle so they can ignore their customers FNC has taken their ticker off. For those of us tired of hearing the same story ten times we can mute and read. So now just turn to another channel NOT HISTORY CH

Dude is 87 and hasn’t held a nonelected position since 1959.

Oh, wait, sorry, he was a college professor there for a year or two.

Can anyone decipher that beyond the 'Goggle' bit? It's Trump-y in the sense that I have no idea what he is talking about and sense I'd have to turn over slippery treason rocks to figure it out.

ze goggle zay do nothing!

Too big like Google.

He's ranting about conservative voices being censored on social media and by search engines (which doesn't happen), but he's an addled digital neophyte with brain decay.

Yeah - that I got. The part about FNC and the ticker is what I didn't get and figured was a reference to some GOP nonsense.

Is he saying he only watched Fox for the ticker with sound off and now that they removed it he has no use for it? Can he also tell us whether he likes avocado in his southwest salad? Maybe whether he thinks laceless shoes are negatively affecting early childhood development?

Fox News Channel has apparently removed the news ticker, apparently.

And now senators like Grassley don't know what soundbites to trumpet in The World's Greatest Deliberative Body.

to big like goggle

I hope use doesn't use Twitter as anything other than informal communication. How does goggle big anyway?

Also, does he have an inkling that Cable companies are legacy? That they are in the die phase of grow or die? They are Yahoo or AOL. They make money because people like me are too lazy cut the cord. Cable subscription has been declining for nearly a decade. Quite frankly they are the opposite of bigging like goggle. They are smalling like blacbarry.
