Hard not to like this guy. Presentation's a little rough, but the message comes thru 5 x 5.


The Kamala-McDonald's Crisis

MAGA spares no effort to manufacture controversy.

"Kamala Failed To Include McDonald's On Her Resumé: What Is She Hiding!?!"

"McDonald's Records Show No Trace Of Kamala Harris Being Employed There"


Corporate records of employees and franchisees are kept for the requisite period (3 - 7 years, depending on the state regs).

There are no records of franchise employees retained at the corporate level - that's up to the individual restaurant to comply with their resident state's law.

And I can't fucking believe:
  1. Anybody would spend any time cooking this shit up
  2. The rubes are still so fucking gullible they're willing to think this nonsense is a real issue
And that points up the problem. All they have to do is to keep throwing as much shit in the air as possible, and we have to address it or risk the probability that people will assume, "Well the Dems aren't doing anything to disprove it, so I guess there must be something to it."

It's like we go out of our way to be The Stupid Country.

It's A Reality Show

It's easy enough to assume someone's affinities would match up a little bit with a candidate or a celebrity they choose to support or hang out with or whatever.

And sometimes, that's a mistake because we know there are people in the world who have a very flexible relationship with morality and honesty and such, and a mortgage can be a very powerful motivator.

I get it - I don't have to like you in order to do business with you, or to make common cause politically.

So it's always a pretty good idea to look for confirmation - is that asshole actually an asshole? Because sometimes they're just being an asshole to fit a role they're playing. And this is especially true when considering guys like Donald Trump and Hulk Hogan. They don't care if they're the hero or the heel as long as the check don't bounce.

I think Hulk Hogan is the asshole he appears to be.



And remember what Grandma said:
People will know you
by the crowd you run with.

Listen Up, Nerds


Weapons, predatory behavior, and big expensive brains.


Jess Thompson, PhD, Yale, is the kind of pro who knows her shit so well she can explain it in a way that makes it understandable to a dope like me. Which is a very good thing, because this kind of presentation is basically a combination progress report and sales pitch.

These efforts have to be funded, so she's showing the people who have ponied up the money so far, that spending more of their money on this stuff is worth it.

I think it is.

Today's Vic

I love this guy.


More BKjr

I think I get it - the critters were all dead, so no harm no foul. Seriously though? The guy has to know how fucked up it makes him look.

But maybe he doesn't. The dog incident seems to have coincided with his brain worm thing.

The guy is fuckin' weird, and fits in with the Trump crowd just fine.

So - JD Vance has some rather peculiar aspects to him, and now BKjr comes off as nutty-like-a-squirrel-turd, all while the campaign team is moving mountains trying to rehab Trump's image.

I suppose it's possible that the Trump campaign gurus believe they can make him look like he's closer to normal by surrounding him with off-the-wall Looney Tunes characters (?)

This is, after all, the gang that put Hulk Hogan on stage not long before Trump's "acceptance speech" at the RNC.

So who the fuck knows what these idiots think they're up to?

Unsettling photo appears to show RFK Jr. with barbequed carcass of dog

An unsettling, newly unearthed photo shows Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posing with a barbecued carcass of an animal — and while a veterinarian reportedly said it was a dog, the independent presidential candidate insists it’s not.

Kennedy, 70, texted the shocking photo of himself and an unidentified woman posing with the charred four-legged animal to a friend last year, according to a Vanity Fair report.

The Kennedy family scion is seen clutching the barbequed remains on a big metal spit and pretending to take a big bite out of the ribs.

The carcass has 13 pairs of ribs – including a tell-tale “floating rib” that suggests it is in fact a canine, a veterinarian told the magazine.

But Kennedy on Tuesday claimed the animal was a goat as he downplayed the report.

“It’s of me at a campfire in Patagonia on the Futaleufu River, eating a goat, which is what we eat down there,” he told Fox News.

Kennedy shared the snap with a friend who was traveling to Asia and suggested that the pal would enjoy a restaurant in Korea that had dogs on the menu — raising more speculation the 2024 candidate once ate a pooch, according to the report.

The recipient, however, thought the image was insensitive for how it made light of animal cruelty, the magazine added.

The friend also expressed concern that it appeared to mock Korean culture and put the reputations of Kennedy and his famous family on the line.

The photo’s metadata dates it to 2010 – the same year Kennedy was diagnosed with a dead tapeworm in his brain.

During his 2012 divorce proceedings, the 70-year-old claimed he may have contracted the parasite during a trip to South Asia.

Kennedy’s family, however, generally believed that his cognitive issues stemmed from his 14 years as a heroin user, Vanity Fair reported.

When RFK Jr was married to his second wife, Mary Richardson, he supposedly sent nude photos of women to his friends.

Kennedy’s heroin addiction reportedly started when he was 15 – one year after his father, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated – and continued through his 20s when he started his legal career at the Manhattan DA’s office.

The bombshell report also alleged that during his marriage to the late Mary Richardson, Kennedy was known for sending his friends photos of naked women.

The friends reportedly assumed that Kennedy had taken the photos but did not know whether the subjects had consented to be photographed — or to have the images shared.

When one unnamed friend lost his phone, Kennedy allegedly panicked that someone would find the photos, the magazine reported.

Meanwhile, another woman alleged that the insurgent presidential candidate was “totally inappropriate” when she, then 23, worked as a babysitter for his family in 1998.

The woman, Eliza Cooney, claimed that she felt Kennedy’s hand moving up and down her leg during a meeting one evening.

A few weeks later, the then-45-year-old father and husband allegedly came into her room and asked her to rub lotion on his back.

Cooney also claimed that Kennedy came up behind her and groped her in the kitchen pantry, leaving her “frozen” and “shocked” as he supposedly grabbed her hips and slid his hands up to her breasts.

The alleged sexual assault was only interrupted when another worker came into the kitchen, Cooney told Vanity Fair.

When asked during a Breaking Points interview if he was denying the allegations leveled by the nanny, Kennedy replied, “I’m not gonna comment on it.”

Kennedy overall ripped the Vanity Fair story while he insisted that from the start of the campaign, he said he was not a church boy.

The Kennedy campaign did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on the allegations.

JD Vance is an embarrassment to humankind - if he is, in fact, human - we're still waiting for confirmation on that one.

So long as men are not trained to withhold judgement in the absence of evidence, they will be led astray by cocksure prophets, and it is likely that their leaders will be either ignorant fanatics or dishonest charlatans. To endure uncertainty is difficult, but so are most of the other virtues.
