Hunter Thompson wrote “Hell’s Angels” in 1967.

There’s a passage about the economics of being a biker/hippie/dropout.

In those days, a biker could work six months as a union stevedore and then hit the road for two years. A part time waitress could could support herself and a live-in boy freind

Then Nixon/Reagan came in to save us.

…and Howard Dean was too crazy to be President because they saw him yelling…

Many years ago, SNL did a satire ad about a three bladed razor. It’s 2025 and satire is as dead as alchemy

All the judges who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade swore that it was ‘established law.’

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the Supreme Court isn’t allowed to reverse it’s own decisions.

Congress and the President routinely step back from policies.

These people and their virtue signaling.

Thanks for the answer.

I’m loath to search ‘mike johnson porn.’ Could you provide background, please?

Indeed.

It’s peak Trump; it starts out criminal, and then veers into wildly stupid, with stops for complete insanity and horrible bad taste.

Slightly off topic. This video shows Obama and Jerry Seinfeld sitting in the actual Presidential limo. When you see it in the movies the back seat roomy enough for four adults. In actuality, the armor makes the interior tight for two folks.

Besides the obvious security problems, Air Force 1 is to a regular plane what a Formula One racer is to a regular car. Someone else pointed out things like counter-surveillance measures, refueling, etc etc.

Fun book about asteroid mining in the near future.

Besides the obvious corruption, it’s a national security issue. I’m not an aircraft designer, but I’m pretty sure there’s quite a bit of electronics aboard that craft. Pretty easy to slip in a few listening devices.

The tl, dr is that Trump gave his co-writer full credit and half the profits of the book, which was a lousy deal for Trump. The co-author took the money and ran.

Making things worse only makes things worse.

Gee whiz, it would be a shame if a lot of trained investigators decided to do a little off the books research into what Putin has on Donnie. A real shame…

You spend all day waiting for someone to stick a knife in your back and everyone you talk to is trying to play you.

You can be great at one thing and an idiot at everything else.

He kept Dr. Fauci for the entire term, then turned on him.

He only hires the best people, then claims they were idiots form the start.

No, I think he’s that dumb. Look at the lies the Bush Jr. team came up with before the Iraq invasion. Those were great lies; handcrafted with Old World dedication and aged in oak barrels until they were perfect.

These clowns are just incompetent.
