You haven't been paying attention because i hate centrist corporate dems. But anyone who didn't vote for kamala because of gaza is a brainwashed moron.

If you don't consider THE GENOCIDE it's easy to hold faith in either party to also ignore it.

From what I understand this was a low voter turnout for Dems. Why? Dumb is contagious?

Or, maybe... possibly.. When Kamala met with Nethanyahu after accepting her nomination and then vocalizing support for Israel caused a lack of "enthusiasm"?

By design, imo.

Now Israel have their golum.

There is an Ongoing Migratory Bird Treaty investigation

Sure. Autopsy will explain the cause, so the feds will not have one performed.

lol, Iran put huge bounties on them. They wanted them bad. The training they go through makes them kind of hard to catch, especially when anything that gets near them eats airstrikes.

So, what happened to the wreckage? Did the US destroy the evidence or not?

Only four people have taken this issue up?!

All of the foreign bought legislators need to go.

This issue reminds me of how Israeli put typhoid into the Palestinian water supply.

I wonder..

There is no "gash". Trump is lying.

When I set up an aquarium it always goes through an algae phase.

This is natural and subsides on it's own.

Accoding to AI:
"Hydrogen peroxide can damage certain types of plastics, especially at higher concentrations, leading to cracking or crazing. It's important to use compatible disinfectants and follow manufacturer guidelines to avoid harming the plastic."

Imo, the pool now serves two purposes:

1. Contracting grift.

2. Arrest of concerned citizens.

It also appears that the Texas Marshalls are stating the pool can be touched while National Guard are saying it cannot.

Police appear to be walking around with small pieces of the pool liner - probably to plant on "suspects".

Nobody has shown this "gash", but we do see corrosion of the plastic and dead animals. There is something else in that water besides algae.

"Dumb" is supporting a genocide.

Regardless rather than regarding.

Progressives are advancing regarding the DNC obstruction.

Populist legislation is succeeding.

Everyone should vote against corporate incumbants.

Tucker Carlson's mother, Lisa McNear Lombardi, was a free-spirited artist who mostly disappeared from his life when he was six years old

And no his father wasn't in the CIA either...
So is he a Democrat by Design ... FFS lyingliteBot you're worse than DonorBot.

Those a fine. "fleshlightrobot" might be better.

With your accent my handle could sound like "redrightrobot", that's verging on hilarious. /s

Here's what AI and Tucker claim:

CIA Allegations

No Public Evidence: There is no public evidence that Richard Carlson was ever a member of the CIA.

Tucker Carlson's Claims: Tucker Carlson has claimed that his father "worked in conjunction" with the CIA, but these statements lack verification.

Acknowledged Encounters: Richard Carlson acknowledged having interactions with the intelligence world during his career, particularly while leading the Voice of America, which sometimes operated in environments where intelligence activities were present.

Both of his parents are CIA, so it's assumed he is Republican by design from early on.

I knew about his dad, but I didn't know his mother was also CIA. Tucker claimed he petitioned to join the apparatus and was turned down. Not sure I believe him.
#21 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2026-06-23 10:55 PM

His mother is apparently not CIA, she was absent from his life since 6. Her beau was part of the "Bradford Mafia" (a British art collective), but not CIA, my bad.

After her death from cancer in 2011, it appeared that Lombardi had disinherited her two sons, though after the case went to appellate court (opens in new tab), the brothers were eventually allowed to keep their shares.

"She didn't raise us; she was horrible," Carlson said on the podcast The Adam Carolla Show (opens in new tab). "Then she dies and causes us all these problems because it's just perfect"she's a bitch from the grave."

Tucker works for putin.
Looks like tucker will run as an anti-israel independent in order to siphon votes from dems so that putin's preferred party can keep the white house.
It would work too since dems are too dumb to run someone who stands up to israel, and their young voters are too dumb to vote for the lesser evil when it comes to gaza.

Two cheeks on the same ass, yes.

As for your fear - good. "Dumb" is supporting a genocide.

So, Iran allowed the pilots to leave then the US destroyed the evidence.

Very USA.

Tucker Carlson, his whole life a beneficiary of white privilege and political and media connections, is now a frustrated outcast, a ronin.
Our hearts bleed for this creature who for years propagated the Republican Party line and the hated status quo.
As a broken clock, Tucker Carlson is correct about Israel and their monstrous genocidal campaign against Palestinians and Tel Aviv's undue power over the US Congress and the DOD through the nefarious AIPAC, but that is probably the limit of his worth.
Enjoy the tar pit, Tucker.

He is effectively peeling supporters away from the genocide.

I'll take it.

An apt comparison.

The no-bid contract went to a donor.

He is a parasite being consumed by more parasite.

Get back to me when he repudiates his buddies Orban and Putin.
Until then, Tuckyo Rose is just fishing for his next pool of suckers.
#13 | Posted by morris at 2026-06-23 02:09 PM

Agreed - I'm certain he knows this. We shall see..

Carlson is sub-human filth. No person who is not sub-human filth fives a flying rat's ass what he says or does.
#14 | Posted by Angrydad at 2026-06-23 03:22 PM

I respect your view, as I shared it until he interviewed Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos.

This veering away from Republicans is to be expected - if he took her words to heart and is repulsed by the Israeli.

So far, so good, imo.

I graduated in 1980 and went straight to work (first job, often mandated 10- or 12-hour days, sometimes six or seven days a week) at $5 an hour.
No college debt because my "thrifty" father seems to have put me on the payroll of the family business at age six, among other serious grifting. I was earning money and unknowingly contributing to Social Security until, oddly enough, I went to work full-time at age 20.
Thanks, Dad.
#242 | Posted by Dbt2 at 2026-06-23 11:55 AM

Omg, the same. I've been on my own since 14 without contact so didn't realize what had happened until the rejections.

That impacted everything.

I believe the hell that the youth are experiencing and the dispondence it generates.

So, most of the Brooke Rollins dietary recommendation of a tortilla and a stalk of broccoli, but no chicken. Got it.

The donnerboy diet for success:
Cup o noodles(lunch) , spam and eggs(breakfast) and a number ten can of chili (dinner). On sundays you get a hotdog with your chili!
And an open window to let the farts out.
In other words you do what you got to do.

The amounts of salt, filler and preservatives meeting the donnerboy nutritional recommendation is undigestible to me.

Those of us without medical options always "do what you got to do", regardless a cold, cruel and calculated cost of both living and barely living.

Have you considered making a posterboard for congressional use?

You're correct, I offer nothing to you. I said several times up thread. My advice isn't for everyone.

That's your only recommendation? To just stop fighting? Like the parents unable to afford to move to this magically affordable world you seem to come from?

Completely correct.
See folks? Rational and common sense.
As I said a dozen times upthread ... ... the environment is much harder today.
But the advice stays the same. Perhaps Better thought needs to be put into educational choices before you agree to take on that much debt. 40 years ago it wasn't an issue, now you have to be more mindful and selective when choosing schools and a path.
#223 | Posted by eberly at 2026-06-23 10:45 AM

So, you admit that imposed child poverty makes unrealistic expenses so far outside of what even the parents experienced.

"mindful", what a crock. You obviously pay for your childrens education because of choices available 40 years ago but cannot recognize those opportunities are GONE today for the vast majority.

NOT because you are somehow better, smarter or more moral, but because you are ignorant, selfish and enabled by a distorted view of social safety as theft, grift and lies. I know many who are worthy and own nothing.

You offer NOTHING.

Trump drove his entire motorcade over the newly finished pool before it was re-filled for a photo-op, obviously ruining the sealant.

He is directly to blame.

The national average price for a pound of standard ground beef typically ranges between $6.50 and $9.00, depending on the fat percentage and leanness. Prices for federal retail data sit at roughly $6.75 per pound, while leaner or organic grinds can easily exceed $8.00 to $9.00.
Is it better to eat out or buy it from the supermarket?
Is the issue can't afford where you want to live or you can afford where you don't want to live?
If you graduated high school and ten years later you have the same skill set as a current HS graduate, minimum wage is probably accurate for you.

Although my personal experience won't have any effect on your view, from my perspective you are elitist, cruel and unrealistic - not a leader.

I make 100% of the food that I eat - almost every item on your McDonalds diet I have never eaten and never plan to.

My groceries cost over 100% compared with last year - raw ingredients costs rise offsets your McDonalds diet making it cheaper to use less fuel and time while consuming inferior and often plainly bad "food".

Your poor ideas for the poors is blatant. You might have even paid for a masters, I would believe that.

If this is genuine we are witnessing several right-wing neugenics in progress.
