Awesome. I’ll definitely catch it. These sea days are rather long si I have plenty to extra time on my hands. LOL. 

BTW. WDET is the best PBS station I’ve ever heard. They play music every day at noon and all day every weekend. Some of my favorite DJs work there.

Al Smith dinner

Davis: you keep calling me the world traveler as if there is something wrong with it. Maybe you should experience something other than the meager existence you appear to be living. Maybe you’d learn something. As it is your little nicknames telegraph who you really are.

Only a liberal would twist words so often.  You make me chuckle.... as usual.  

I wonder sometimes, is there anything on Earth that doesn't offend you leftists?  smile

Now then, I have a meager existence do I?   

I would suggest that you find a new group of writers for your attempts at comedy.  tongue
I wasn’t trying to be funny.

George Soros said he'll give away $1 million daily until Election Day to registered voters in swing states who sign his America PAC petition.

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Can you imagine if that was true? The right wing media and MAGA folks would be all over it with their heads exploding. Our resident right wing wacko would post numerous threads condemning it. 

Elon Musk does it and they shrug. Not to mention it’s illegal and violates election laws. 

What a bunch of hypocrites.

“Elon Musk said he'll give away $1 million daily until Election Day to registered voters in swing states who sign his America PAC petition.

"I think this is kind of fun, and you know, it seems like a good use of money basically," Musk said at the event.

Musk has embarked on a speaking tour in Pennsylvania to drive voter registration in his support of Donald Trump. The deadline to sign the petition is Monday night, which is the day Pennsylvania's voter registration closes. The petition, posted on the America PAC website, said that to be eligible for payments, signees "must be registered voters of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin."


Rick Hasen, a UCLA law professor and NBC News election law analyst, said in a blog post that Musk's initiative appears to be a violation of federal election laws, specifically one that says a person who "pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

"Certain things in this country can be sold, and certain things we have decided should not be for sale," Hasen told CNBC in an interview. "Congress has determined you should not be able to sell your vote to the highest bidder, and we should not have the political process distorted by people with the most wealth who may try to get you to vote in a certain way."


Ah, who gives a shit, right?

Trump's Faked "Working At McDonalds Stunt"

If Kamala had done the same thing Davis and all of MAGA would be screaming about it. Heck, take anything the orange bag of trans fats has said recently and attribute it to Harris and they’d have gone nuts. All we get are crickets.

Trump's Faked "Working At McDonalds Stunt"

The hypocrisy with MAGA and the right wing media is thick.

Did Buffoons on the left actually think Trump was going to fill out an application for McDonald's, have an interview, fly to corporate headquarters to get training, and then go work there?? Are they really that stupid?

So don't conflate 2 separate things like an ignoramus would.  

1. ME saying she never worked there, which is a fact since I did say that.  

2.  ME claiming that "McDonald's said she never worked there", which I did not say.  

I was very specific in my statement, which was that McDonald's couldn't verify or didn't have records supporting her claim that she worked there..

Anything else you care to lie about?  smile
I have employed hundreds of people since 1983. I get rid of records after they are no longer needed for IRS purposes. I think I can go back 11 years to find any employment records. Maybe if you ever were an employer and upstanding member of the business community you’d know that. I’ll bet you cheat on you taxes, too.

Well, you complaining about it now, while you had no problem with it, when your guys have done it, strikes me as your tacit endorsement of that tactic. 

Am I wrong?  wink
You are always wrong. LOL

Poor Rudy

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Hahahaha. “Rudy Giuliani must give control of luxury items and Manhattan apartment to Georgia election workers he defamed, judge rules.”

I’m sure he’s happy he lied for Trump, but I’ll bet Rudy’s kids are pretty pissed at the old man.

How much you want to bet Trump will help him out for lying for him? Considering Trump’s record I’d say there is zero chance of that happening.
