Funny. Dems clean their house and people like pedoringer whine it wasn't fast enough.

Meanwhile, they still go to bat for the guy with the most mentions in the Epstein files who was Epstein's best friend for years, who admitted to being a serial serial predator on tape ect act all while he destroys the world order that has provided us with the wealth and living standard we're accustomed to.

In other words, pedoringer, stfu and gfy.

Oh, right--that's your father's Republican Party. The modern GOP will give to those who give to the GOP, and who give a tug to a certain fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat...

Sean Hannity says He's No Longer A Catholic

Let's pay attention...

Slant head Hannity was still a catholic despite centuries of documented priest pedophilia.

He only left the catholic church when the pope had the GALL to speak out against a war started by a pedophile desperately trying to keep his pedophilia hidden.

Doesn't matter. Der Dotard's words and deeds are so off-putting that many voters, of all stripes, will simply ignore the election this fall--if one is allowed to take place. With the present administration and its GOP MAGA acolytes in place the election will be a mess. Here in Ohio there is talk by the GOPers running to be secretary of state of HAND-COUNTING PAPER BALLOTS. Want election results before the cows come home? Nope. Hand accurate counts not manipulated behind closed doors? Nope again in Ohio...

Millions of American Christians never bought into Trump or MAGA or the right-wing agenda. Some American Evangelicals and Pentecostals are having this reckoning.

Israelis, like Americans have an opportunity to right a wrong. If either population votes to continue the policies of the current heads of their government, they deserve the international scorn and condemnation pointed in their direction. While Trump is ineligible to serve another term, Americans anger should be directed at the republican candidate and the party that enabled him. Democrat candidates must not lose sight of this: direct people's anger not just at Trump but the republican candidates that enabled him!!!

" Is this the part where a Democrat gets condemned for what a Republican can do without repercussions?"

He was a useful henchman for the party until he put the party at risk in California. So he had to be jettisoned. And he was. And the MSM played their role just like they did when their party overlords told them to gut Biden after his disastrous debate so they could insert Harris and hope she had a better chance.

Like Clinton, Trump won in spite of his personal boorishness.

Both parties are morally bankrupt. This thread is yet another of countless examples of the Democrat Party being morally repugnant. With the MSM being their toadies. The GOP has been the same with Trump but it's mostly because he won, just like Clinton.

Spain pushes to end EU-Israel association agreement

Sánchez has emerged as one of Israel's most vocal critics in the EU. He accused Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of committing genocide in Gaza and denounced the joint U.S.-Israel strikes against Iran as an "immense error."

Critics claim that Israel's continued strikes against Lebanon are undermining a peace settlement in the broader region. During his speech in Andalusia, Sánchez called for an immediate end to the war in the Middle East that has led to a surge in global oil prices and mass displacement across the region.

The foreign ministers of Spain, Ireland and Slovenia accused Israel of breaching the association agreement with the EU in a letter to the bloc's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, on Saturday. They said that the approval of the death penalty by the Israeli parliament and violent action by Israeli settlers in the West Bank are violations of fundamental human rights. ...

He had been among 1 million people displaced by Israel's invasion, launched in March after Hezbollah, a powerful Iran-backed force in Lebanon separate from the government, fired rockets from Lebanon in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the leaders of Israel and Lebanon had reached a 10-day ceasefire deal, but many returning to their homes in southern Lebanon found only destruction.

Music for Weekend

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
"I Kissed A Girl" is Jill Sobule's bi-curious, biggest hit.

The lyrics find Sobule falling for her friend Jenny as they bemoan their romantic problems. Like most of the other songs on Sobule's eponymous second album, the musical composition incorporates elements of pop, rock, and country.

The song generated some controversy upon its release, with some Southern radio stations banning the song. In 2008, more than a decade after its release, the song landed Sobule in the headlines once again after she was quoted as jokingly calling Katy Perry an "(expletive) little ----" because she felt that Perry had copied her song with her own song of the same name.

[Verse 1]
Jenny came over and told me 'bout Brad
"He's such a hairy behemoth," she said
"Dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy"

And I opened up and I told her 'bout Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
And I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better

[Chorus]
So we laughed, compared notes
We had a drink, we had a smoke
She took off her overcoat
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

[Verse 2]
She called home to say she'd be late
He said, he worried but now he'd feel safe
I'm glad you're with your girlfriend
Tell her "hi" for me
Then I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes
But it only lasted a little while
And then I felt your hand above my knee

[Chorus]
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

[Bridge]
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
Kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl for the first time
I kissed a girl, and I may do it again
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

[Bridge]
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me, but yeah
I kissed a girl
Kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl (For the first time)
I kissed a girl (Won't be the last time)

All things you purport to Believe are good things.

So, Why do you Fear and Hate them?

Trump has No Standards, Only Whims and Appetites,things you say are bad for society.

Yet you support him and fear them.

Weird.

"(Cleopatra) did not do so well in its own time because it was so elaborate and costly they could not recoup the costs ... "

TCM has got a wonderful annual podcast series. They pick one subject, and Host Ben Mankiewicz does a half dozen episodes or so on the inside history. Topics have included Lucille Ball, The Bonfire of the Vanities, Pam Grier, John Ford, and ...

Cleopatra, which was written and directed by Ben's great uncle Joseph Mankiewicz.

The opening statement for the Cleopatra podcast is harrowing: when Ben would visit his great uncle's house, there were posters of every single movie he'd been involved with ... Except Cleopatra. The podcast tells why.

You'd enjoy it!
