jj abrams is our best example o' the inevitable fail which nevertheless has us viewing way past the point where is reasonable to do so. ask us why we watched the last season of alias? can't give you a good answer. we never bothered to watch lost past the first episode, but am understanding the last seasons were a slog. HA! Good Fun!

it were a couple weeks previous when barr announced the doj hadn't seen any evidence o' widespread or election changing fraud in the 2020 election. *gasp* then it were public announced that hunter biden were being investigated for tax issues. even though all the relevant info were previously leaked october surprise style before the election, trump blasted barr for not public announcing the hunter biden investigation. weren't so much a rat leaving the ship. were a jack torrance situation by trump. HA! Good Fun!

earlier today, the supreme court case in wisconsin were decided. wisconsin were the court most likely to go rogue and support trump's overthrow o' democracy but instead we got a repeat o' all the other trump and co. court losses although the wisconsin court focused their ruling almost entirely on previous mentioned laches basis. once again, in spite o' press conference hoopla and Presidential tweets to the contrary, the trump campaign did not allege specific examples o' fraud but instead based its demand for relief on a s'posed repugnant election practice which had been in existence for a decade, and trump were challenging the practice in only two counties. perhaps more intriguing is that at least one donor to trump co lawyers is demanding his $2.5 million dollar donation be returned 'cause o' misrepresentation. location o' business were misidentified and the at least four cases filed by true the vote, inc. were voluntarily withdrawn. aside, in spite o' fact trump were leading biden by as much as a 5 to 1 margin at ~noon est today, biden is current at 302 electoral votes to trump's 232, with hawaii electoral votes being the only state remaining to cast its ballots for President and VP. any chances william barr investigates the obvious fraud which were required to see trump lose the commanding lead which he enjoyed this morning? for posterity, biden crossed the 270 threshold at 2:27 pacific time. kamala harris became vp at 2:32. no doubt more than a few proud boy members (and similar disposed ilk) howled in impotent rage at the times noted. ... spoke too soon. not william barr. HA! Good Fun!

"mice lie and monkeys exaggerate." is perhaps a bit more complicated than suggested, but is nevertheless an amazing bit o' news. HA! Good Fun!

HA! Good Fun!

won't be over 'til january 6. a fair number o' republicans in Congress will embarrass themselves on that day as they make one last ditch effort to overthrow democracy. additional, there will be court cases which continue to no effect. winning the cases is less the point than is being able to raise funds which swell trump's pac account. HA! Good Fun!

if you say so. am too familiar with gd's "sense o' humor." says he is joking... but y'know, there is a more than a little truth in calling the bureau a terrorist group, yes? been here too many times. as an aside, trump current has 3x as many votes as biden. if biden eventual pulls off a win, clearly there were fraud involved. HA! Good Fun!

*insert eye roll* shoulda' known. am recalling gd's recent misrepresentations. HA! Good Fun!

gonna admit to not knowing exact what am looking at. in any event... Tracking the 2020 electoral college vote alternative HA! Good Fun!

*sigh* never made such a claim. from a legal pov, is no difference 'tween setting the blm sign ablaze or a cross or a nativity scene if one is to determine if vandalism occurred. you said, "Burning a terrorist group sign is not vandalism." the nativity display is personal property and an attachment no more or less than the blm signage. is vandalism and is no question 'bout that. skarp_one is wrong on the vandalism point. also, from a legal pov, the nativity display is no more a part o' the church than the sign. is personal property attached to real property. start asking your imagined 10k where line is drawn as to what is the church and am betting they is gonna have difficulty distinguishing the nativity scene, grave markers, religious symbols and statuary. how 'bout a sign affixed above the church doorway asking passersby to pray for our soldiers overseas? the proud boys and skarp_one will dig in heals over the blm signage, but from a legal and logical pov, is no difference 'tween the sign and the nativity display or a statue o' saint francis. no. strawman to your heart's content but you will do so solo. but again, destruction o' the sign, even if the sign offends the sensibilities o' skarp_one and the proud boys, is vandalism and were undeniable attached to church property before it were removed and destroyed. HA! Good Fun!

we literal just quoted you focusing on the message. might need that mouse medicine in the science discoveries thread if you forget so quick. again, if we were told that a nativity scene set ablaze on the lawn o' the church were vandalism o' a church, is doubtful many o' those 10k would quibble. no difference 'tween the nativity scene or a cross in the yard being set ablaze. and ask those same 10k if burning a blm sign counts as vandalism and save for the proud boys and skarp_one, is doubtful any agree. keep talking. HA! Good Fun!

it is you doing the gymnastics. the phrase does indeed describe what occurred as we noted attachments count as the property itself for purposes o' vandalism. a church was vandalized from the legal sense. again, keep in mind a nativity scene on the church lawn woulda' counted as vandalism o' a church if some random ne'er-do-well had set such on fire and is doubtful many would quibble over the such a recognition. curiously, is skarp_one who focused on the message o' the attachment in question-- a blm sign does not count as property possible o' being vandalized in skarp_one's curious world... coulda' focused on the nature o' the signage as movable or temporary, but instead skarp_one focused on the message. as we noted already, am suspecting you have managed to identify what would be the key difference 'tween a cross, nativity scene or blm sign 'pon church property as far as the proud boys willingness to commit crimes involving a church. as such, your gymnastics is illuminating. once again you managed to out yourself. thanks. HA! Good Fun!

"“ISRIB’s extremely rapid effects show for the first time that a significant component of age-related cognitive losses may be caused by a kind of reversible physiological “blockage” rather than more permanent degradation,” said Susanna Rosi, PhD, Lewis and Ruth Cozen Chair II and professor in the departments of Neurological Surgery and of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science." if it works, even if only in mice, it fundamental changes what we thought we knew 'bout brain disorders, particular those linked to age. HA! Good Fun!

is it wrong we hoped that when the train reached the end of the tracks it would explode in a shower of red and green pyrotechnics? possible pipe in screams o' those imaginary passengers caught in the multi-hued conflagration? ... might lose some o' the good dad points you had earned with the decorating if you take our suggestion and implement. probable best to follow your own judgement in this matter. though am thinking tim burton would agree with us. regardless, am applauding you for doing the christmas thing right. good on you. HA! Good Fun!

@everybody never listen to skarpen_one when law is at issue. enter real property to take physical property which does not belong to you and then destroy it will be considered, at the very least, vandalism in every US jurisdiction known to us. HA! Good Fun!

am not certain what this says 'bout Gromnir, but first thing we thought o' when @Gorth mentioned 80s music nostalgia were the following movie bit. is a song by the call, performed by some guy who no doubt has a name but we always identify as "the sax man." everything 'bout the scene screams 80s... although the song itself coulda' been a staple on those religious rock stations in the south and midwest as is faith focused... wouldn't be surprised to hear it right before an amy grant song on the play list. using in the lost boys context as it were is only that much more 80s. HA! Good Fun!

looks like a tuna. applause for going the extra kilometer? HA! Good Fun!

his comments has a tendency o' illuminating his own shortcomings. burn a cross or nativity scene on the property o' the church? burn a blm sign on property o' the church? legal no difference as to question o' vandalism o' "the church." legal, the church is not just the building but the property and those permanent and temporary affixtures at the property. however, skarp_one sees a fundamental difference... and am sad to admit he is likely correct as to why the proud boys, who went on their recent dc violence spree, saw burning of signage as ok. as such, if we ever question the hypocrisy o' the prod boys, we need only ask skarp_one to clarify the disconnect as he appears to have a finger on the pulse o' that notorious and abominable organization. congrats? quasi related: HA! Good Fun!

HA! Good Fun!

the pandemic accelerated a trend. we sympathize-- villenueve is a victim o' bad luck or unfortunate timing. both. we expect a director to fight for a movie in which he has invested so much, but some kinda special dune exception does not seem likely in spite o' fact we were looking forward to it. after all, the industry were changing. the industry has changed. we rare go to theatre releases and am expecting we will do so less and less in the coming years. no matter how comfy you make the seats or how fantastic is the sound system, theatres is still dying. HA! Good Fun!

you kinda missed the relevant part. no surprise. ain't just a couple o' loons on the arse end o' the internet or a celebrity who is doing interviews while drunk. we were responding to gd observation 'bout the texas ag. btw, all those celebs you mentioned were soundly criticized by fellow liberals and the media as a whole, although am not knowing "one of the ladies on the view" as a relevant example. sarah silverman, however, immediate walked back her comment and apologized. diamond and silk apologized? missed it. am sure you will share when it happens. also, unlike the celebs you mentioned, those two is gal pals o' the sitting President who has retweeted their nonsense ramblings on multiple occasions, so is perhaps not as analogous as you suggest. those +100 congressman who supported the amicus brief for the recent dismissed scotus texas case has condemned diamond and silk? share it when it happens. btw, trump still hasn't appealed his 3rd circuit appeal loss from two weeks previous. trump appointee in a district court just posterized trump with the following admonishment: "This is an extraordinary case. A sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration, issues he plainly could have raised before the vote occurred. This Court has allowed plaintiff the chance to make his case and he has lost on the merits. In his reply brief, plaintiff "asks that the Rule of Law be followed." It has been." dismissed with prejudice. real republicans, a handful o' them in the courts and in positions o' authority in georgia and arizona, has shown they understand what it means to be governed by laws as 'posed to the tweet rants o' a petty would-be autocrat who managed to hijack his party w/o ever winning an election by popular vote. we also listened in on the wisconsin supreme court hearing today... arguably the most blatant republican Court majority in any state. when speaking o' judges, there is a big difference 'tween conservative and republican, and the majority o' wisconsin judges is republican. am admitting we were surprised when multiple judges called out trump efforts as racist--such is the first time we has heard a judge do so in one o' these election cases. didn't happen with detroit or philadelphia cases. jill karofsky, one o' the non-partisan judges on the court 'bout whom we knew almost nothing before today, were particular dismissive o' trump and his attorney, calling their efforts "unamerican" and blasting the unsubstantiated and general accusations o' fraud absent any meaningful offers o' proof. the overt republican judges o' the wisconsin supreme court were a bit more reserved in their criticism, but there is no mystery 'bout the future o' trump's last gasp efforts in wisconsin now that the court has adjourned. HA! Good Fun!

so mix metaphors o' bears, flavors and saints where gd embraces his they-are-all-bad security blanket and then immediate falls into a predictable pattern o' repeating unhinged conspiracy doggerel https://www.axios.com/china-spy-california-politicians-9d2dfb99-f839-4e00-8bd8-59dec0daf589.html has been no contact 'tween fang and swalwell for years. fang left the country in 2015. two midwestern mayors had sexual relations with fang, but is no mention o' swalwell. as such am thinking is safe to assume hasn't been any extra-marital hijinks 'tween swalwell and fang for at least five years. is no doubt many chinese operatives current attending bay area and socal schools. if such folks manage to get close enough to politicians to learn which o' 'em is alcoholics, are having extramarital affairs or have financial problems, am not gonna pretend to be shocked. is unfortunate, but is kinda a cost o' a relative open society, no? as long as swalwell and others had sense enough not to share sensitive information with chinese, pakistani, or american students, am gonna write off this newest conspiracy as trump loyalists trying to create dirt on enemies with folks such as gd being all too willing to buy into the silliness. fbi didn't find evidence swalwell shared sensitive info? where is the story? 'course multiple us intelligence agencies didn't manage to find dirt on joe biden and that didn't stop gd from indulging in those conspiracy theories either. aside, as a student at berkeley in the mid/late 80s, we assumed a number o' the chinese national students in our department were "agents." in fact we dated a girl from china who spoke english at least as well as Gromnir. more than once we joked that she were probable a spy but that she were wasting her time with a physics undergrad and football player as the biggest secrets we knew were who were gonna be on the football team ir report before such stuff got published and could affect the vegas line. honest, for us the only odd thing 'bout the story were that fang were a student at the 80th ranked regional university in the west. our educational arrogance shines through, eh? assumed the spies were all at caltech, berkeley, ucla, stanford, etc. we also just kinda assumed most o' those student/spies were stem and were looking for tech info as posed to easily acquired dirt on local politicians. HA! Good Fun!

simplistic transactional thinking is exact what put us in this situation in the first place. how many republicans repeated dismissed the shortcomings and excesses o' trump 'cause keeping his base happy would win them reelection? divided government ain't a win once you consider the costs. fox poll says 68% o' republicans believe the election were rigged and trump were robbed. if true that means more than 100 million americans believe the conspiracy theories? Pro-Trump Pundits Diamond and Silk Tweet Cry for Military Intervention After Supreme Court Dashes Hopes for Election Overturn as you noted, those ladies is hardly alone in their demands for solutions which four years ago woulda' been considered insane by near everybody and it is trump who inspired this? the board trumpers is quiet for the moment, but you recall 'em talking 'bout the existential crisis biden and the democrats posed and am knowing gd on some level agreed with the assessment. this election fight IS an existential crisis and 2016 gd woulda' seen that fact more clear than does 2020 gd. the thing is, the election conspiracy theories is just the latest in a long line o' Constitutional violations and subversions o' democratic norms. we got here not in one giant post election leap. were a progression o' transactional decisions which made the next seeming unpalatable choice more acceptable by comparison. oh, and the last four years is not a situation where democrats woulda been doing the exact same thing which am knowing some posters need convince self o' to legitimize their curious worldview. HA! Good Fun!

am from the dakotas, and is less a gene thing than environmental... rusted out ford pickups, endless barbwire fences and the indescribable silence o' an arrow-straight highway which stretches two-lanes without a vehicle in sight all the way to the horizon under a sky so blue it would make your heart weep. we grew up with one foot in a stirrup and busting our arse on a ranch where you never quite caught up with all the work which needed be done. bruce doing a bit o' country on his last couple albums speaks to something fundamental in us. ... am suspecting the sacrilegious aspect o' the final offering may appeal to @Gorth HA! Good Fun!
