The naked samaritans were letting it all hang out on a stroll when they spotted a "crazy kind of pirate guy" threatening a man with a blowtorch. A video from the scene shows an onlooker snag the blowtorch just before the attacker starts to punch the tourist. read more
"It's already disastrous," one of the sources close to Biden's re-election said of fundraising. "The money has absolutely shut off," another source close to the re-election said. Two of the sources said this month is on a path to be down by possibly half - "or much more," one of them said - from large donors alone. Sources emphasized that the donations were down across the board. read more
Elected officials, union leaders and political consultants are panicking over polls showing a steady erosion of Biden's support in a state he won by 23 points four years ago. read more
A high temperature of 128 F was recorded Sunday at Death Valley National Park in eastern California, where a visitor died from heat exposure and another person was hospitalized, officials said. The two visitors were part of a group of six motorcyclists riding through the Badwater Basin area amid scorching weather, the park said in a statement. read more
Artificial intelligence systems can now create remarkably accurate reconstructions of what someone is looking at based on recordings of their brain activity. These reconstructed images are greatly improved when the AI learns which parts of the brain to pay attention to. read more
Saw it during that George Snufflelupagus interview when George asked about the NYT concern on Biden's lapses. www.youtube.com
Biden starts breathing more heavily and looked like he was about to snap. Not the demeanor one would expect from a good politician, but about on par with Trump.
[...] Before zionism came to the area, the area lived in relative peace. Since that time, non-stop dehumanization, oppression, and murder of the native inhabitants. [...] #96 | Posted by NerfHerder
Yes, such a lovely peace. Very enjoyable for all the non-Muslims living under Muslim rule. (Persecution by Muslims.) A "peace" obtained by Muslim conquest and colonization. (Early Muslim Conquests.) Where they murdered non-believers or compelled them to remain Muslim, often upon pain of death. (Apostasy in Islam).
But yes, everything was just hunky-dory before the Jews made their sudden appearance and messed up the Muslim utopia (2,000 years before Islam existed). Maybe Gaza will finally be at peace when Israel "finishes the problem" there. And in 1,400 years we can celebrate how the area is at "relative peace."
Pity that you look forward to Trump ruining America [...] #96 | Posted by NerfHerder
I take my amusement where I can find it.

Got it. Israel tricked the Palestinians into abducting that gay Palestinian Israel was sheltering and then forced the Palestinians to kill him. Just like they made the Palestinians dance in the streets on 9/11. Probably by playing some sort of Pied Piper of Tel Aviv music.
Poor Palestinians! So misunderstood. Like when they innocently raped and murdered 1,200 Israeli civilian men, women, and children on October 7th. With love and charity in their hearts.
If only the world would learn to adore the Palestinians as much as their Arab brothers do. The ones who refuse to let them enter their nations after they repeatedly fomented civil war after those nations gave them shelter. (Black September in Jordan, Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt).
But back to the subject at hand. Make sure you vote for Trump. That should help your peeps immensely. I promise not to laugh too hard when the Trump presidency turns out exactly as we all expect for the Palestinians.
Please Lord, please let the Democrats believe this poll and replace Joe Biden with Hillary Clinton. #7 | Posted by Claudio
Doesn't look like Joe is going anywhere. ("An effort by some Democrats to seek an alternative to President Biden as the party's nominee faced new uncertainty Tuesday, with frustrated lawmakers struggling to find a path forward after the president said he was dead set against stepping aside. [...] Inside House Democrats' own closed-door meeting, the mood was somber, with some lawmakers shedding tears in an emotionally wrenching gathering." www.wsj.com )
Grandpa refuses to give up his keys. Pity anyone else who is on the road while he's driving.
Chain-[haram] to IDF war-[c]orn of dismembered Palestinian [Hamas Youth] has just made you dumber and more demented, censored. #90 | Posted by NerfHerder
Not really my cup of tea.
But please keep in mind that not everyone has the rhythm and joint strength to dance in the streets like the Palestinians did on 9/11 when they were celebrating the murder of 3,000 innocent American civilians. So some people may enjoy themselves in different ways than you are used to.
But I guess Palestinians have never been big on tolerating differences ("Gay Palestinian Ahmad Abu Marhia beheaded in West Bank [ ... ] LGBTQ groups say he had spent two years in Israel waiting on an asylum claim to flee abroad after receiving death threats from within his community. Israeli media quote friends of the victim as saying he was kidnapped to the West Bank." bbc.com)
With all due respect. GFY. You act as if the Democratic party is entitled to votes. Clue phone here. They are not. Want our vote. Give us a candidate that we can vote for. Until then. Sit and spin. #20 | Posted by LauraMohr
Here you go SpeakSoftly. Case in point.
There are probably few users on this site more in need of a liberal SCOTUS for protection than Laura. But cutting off nose to spite face seems to be preferable for the Greens than voting for Al Gore or Hillary. So at least I'll be able to schauden my freude when those SCOTUS rulings inevitably make their way into our society.
Meanwhile, in France: "French Candidates Drop Out En Masse to Stop Far-Right Takeover" www.thedailybeast.com
So the French thought rationally and strategically, taking necessary steps to protect their hard-won rights (like five weeks of paid vacation a year, universal healthcare, one year of paid parental leave per child). And we have the Greens thinking that they proved a point while the Repubs tear down the few benefits we have.
And just to be clear, I will be voting for Biden if that's the only choice I have that might beat Trump. My concern is that Joe has no chance of recovering from that debate, especially seeing as he was already behind before he figuratively relieved himself up on that stage.
Reminds me of something Trevor Noah (?) said back in 2016 before the election. That Trump and Hillary were the only ones who could possibly lose to the other.
