Should have stuck with the British Monarchy, powerless as it comes. A woman as head of state for 70 years and even better, no elections for any president during any of time.

Here I go trying to explain my joke: The joke is that Stargates can only exist in or around Vancouver, because near enough the entirety of all Stargate TV series was filmed there.

But are we sure that’s a Einstein–Rosen bridge portal device that allows for near-instantaneous teleportation across both interstellar and extragalactic distances?

Its location doesn’t look instantaneously like a place in or even around Vancouver, BC.

So the timeline is:

1. To all the people around Harris: “They are absolute garbage”
2. Let’s also call Puerto Rico an “island of garbage”
3. We are too dumb to understand basic grammar, in response to the rhetoric in point 2. being called garbage
4. Let’s near enough keel over trying to reach the door handle of a garbage truck

Yep, that’s the Republican Party.

Ah, yes, if only there was some Illinois politician close to Obama who had been associated with crimes similar to those of Trump, who had been absolutely and unambiguously disavowed by Democrats and imagine then also if only he had some type of relationship despite all that with Trump, who would also pardon him or something after his criminal conviction, making your comment like one big giant case of projection.

lol, that would just be silly wouldn’t it.

…

It would be just way too coincidental and spot on for words.

Google ‘Blagojevich’.

It’s really a situation that ought to resolve itself. If the justices vote anything as an official act is perfectly legal, then threaten those justices that voted that way with violence, assassination, nothing is off the table apparently as long as it’s an official act, and reverse that decision with the remaining justices, done and dusted.

I really don’t see the problem here. It’s all been declared perfectly legal, nothing is off the table, it sends a strong message that this democracy will be maintained by whatever means necessary, and that as long as the president is Democrat at least, then any attempt at an all powerful king or Führer will automatically undo itself. An abrogation of power done through wielding that very power itself would be a beautiful thing to behold.

In fact, the Supreme Court justices would make a better target than Trump himself even. Trump is a political rival and it could be argued that it’s Biden supporting the election of a candidate from his own party. Meanwhile targetting the Supreme Court justices would be defending basic democracy, fighting for the freedom from a despotic tyrant - the very supposed foundation of the country we’re talking about, changing the composition of the Supreme Court and weakening the powers of the presidency itself, which definitely sounds like official acts rather than those of a candidate or private individual.

And then try DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth that’ll get rid of the 9GB file for sure. If not, reinstall everything again and again and again.

Not quite the same, but you’ll be prying my imported 2004 Estima from my cold dead hands.

The whole thing read to me like a Seinfeld episode - Kramer accidentally kills a whale off the coast of New York, and with the show having made dozens of Kennedy references, hearing of a Kennedy dumping a bear in Central Park would fit right in.

So this doesn’t feel even like an own to anyone, more like a parody, a comedy. And in the context of it actually happening 1. in the setting of probably the most famous one, 2. with a character from the exact family they’ve referenced many times over and 3. with the same type of bizarre things happening to wildlife one of which has been one of the most famous episodes.

To me, as a lib, it feels like the best Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that’s never been written.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the story even came out because he told it to Roseanne Barr, writer of most popular sitcom just prior to Seinfeld, notwithstanding her interminable slide, with her just staring at him incredulously throughout, the whole thing feeling like a Curb Your Enthusiasm scene. Honestly, at this point Larry David is definitely thinking to himself that he could never have written anything this Larry David.

Edit 2: I completely forgot that his, Larry David’s, wife in Curb Your Enthusiasm is RFK Jr.'s actual wife. At this point I’m about 80% sure that multiple Seinfeld and/or Curb episodes were actually just Kennedy misadventures in disguise.

Germany is being interpreted as a disaster, but the only hard right party is the AfD and they’re up around 5% it looks like… and there are 13 other parties about to represent Germany in the EU parliament. France is looking terrible though, at least the RN has at least pretended to cut off ties to the AfD. And the equivalent of the CDU/CSU in France is near death, so it’s not like voters in the middle had anywhere to go other than Macron or RN.

Austria could have gone worse, despite the FPÖ up. In Germany you have this kind of cordon sanitaire, the other parties have an agreement of sorts to never cooperate with the AfD, the CDU/CSU has been a bit flimsy on that though.

Meanwhile in Austria, the FPÖ has been around forever and used to represent some liberal politics way back when so they didn’t have that cordon sanitaire, including coalition governments between the ÖVP (the equivalent of the CDU/CSU but imbroiled somehow in more political turmoil in recent years) and FPÖ on numerous occasions. And what happened in this election is that basically three seats went from the ÖVP straight to the FPÖ.

Basically Austrian representation in the EU probably got marginally worse for all it matters, but in turn the CDU/CSU saw that any cooperation with the AfD would just lead to voters of theirs just going to the AfD in the long run, strengthening the case for a cordon sanitaire.

At least I hope that’s how they’ll interpret it. The other Austrian shift was one from the Greens to the heavily pro-EU NEOS, as much as I’ll disagree on some of their domestic policies when it comes to their EU politics they’re a bit more palatable.

That, to me, looks like an intersection I would never want to turn left on in the first place in anything but the most deserted area.
