This is appalling:

9 Members of Mormon Family in Mexico Are Killed in Ambush

Six children were among the victims in a massacre attributed to organized crime, relatives said. Other children were rescued, some of whom hid along a roadside.

Stephanie,

Next time just stay here. It will be a lot easier. The ribs are in the freezer. But ready to go. Hope. You are having fun!

[Jim Eagle]

Buckeye,

In the back row toward your right is a guy with a beard. That’s Eric Ciaramella the WB. Surprised?

[Another Bob]

Re. George, it ought not be a surprise. The claims were just too fantastic.

Beyond a certain point, I have similar questions/doubts re. Apfelbaum.

I already saw the picture with the red circle around his mug.

Of course, I am sure all of his actions have been "above board":)

From a friend.

Words to live by.

When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.

To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it.

When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.

Interviewer: “So, tell me about yourself.” Me: “I’d rather not. I kinda want this job.”

Cop: “Please step out of the car.” Me: “I’m too drunk. You get in.”

I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.

I had my patience tested. I’m negative.

Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid the doesn’t fit any of your containers.

If you’re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say “Did you bring the money?”

When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say “nothing,” it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.

Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 is new midnight.

I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.

I run like the winded.

I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don’t know whose side I’m on.

When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, “Why, what did you hear?”

I don’t remember much from last night, but the fact that I needed sunglasses to open the fridge this morning tells me it was awesome.

When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?

I don’t mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.

When I ask for directions, please don’t use words like “east.”

It’s the start of a brand new day, and I’m off like a herd of turtles.

Don’t bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That’ll freak you right out.

That moment when you walk into a spider web suddenly turns you into a karate master.

Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life outta nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.

The older I get, the earlier it gets late.

My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.

The al.com article yesterday that said the Bama SGA warned students not to protest Trump was Fake News.

https://yellowhammernews.com/aldotcom-fabricates-story-about-the-ua-sga-warning-against-trump-protests/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Almost all the student block seating is occupied by the Greek fraternities so it can get a lot more rowdy than other parts of the stadium.

Data & Society welcomes Joe Mulhall, Senior Researcher at European anti-extremism NGO HOPE not hate, for a public talk to explore how the international far right is leveraging the current climate crisis, with a special focus on networked disinformation and exclusive new polling research across six countries around the world.

Our planet is warming, our seas are rising, and while the human cost of this will be massive, the human cause of it is undeniable. Or at least, it should be. Rising sea levels and the desertification of already dry areas could see millions across our world being displaced. The climate crisis is a massive threat to quality of life, but for some people, it’s also an opportunity. Across Europe, the 2015 migrant crisis destabilized civil society, leading to the rise of the AfD in Germany, the Lega party in Italy, and allowing Viktor Orban to whip up anti-migrant rhetoric in Hungary. These conditions are a petri dish for conspiracy theorists, politicians, corporate interests, and especially a boon for the rhetoric of extreme anti-migration factions pushing online disinformation.

This event is moderated by Data & Society founder danah boyd.

I don't think the conspiracy is on the right.

Enjoyed JiB's 8:00am collection of quips.
Back in the early days of the Internet It seemed like I got an email in a similar style pretty much daily. How long ago that was ...

Oops! ADAM SCHIFF Accidentally Leaks Name of Anti-Trump 'Whistleblower" Eric Ciaramella in Bill Taylor's Transcript!

A late good morning! Needless to say, I overslept.

So the gop actually won virginia by aboit 40,000 points can you say gerrymander?

It's only bad when the Republicans do it, apparently.

When the Dems do it, it's God's work. Except they mostly don't believe in God anymore.

ValJar looks like she wants to commit suicide.

Well, then there's at least one thing I agree with her on, then.

Years ago, when Media was legitimate, people known as “Fact Checkers” would always call to check and see if a story was accurate. Nowadays they don’t use “Fact Checkers” anymore, they just write whatever they want!

The story in the Amazon Washington Post, of course picked up by Fake News CNN, saying “President Trump asked for AG Barr to host a news conference clearing him on Ukraine,” is totally untrue and just another FAKE NEWS story with anonymous sources that don’t exist....

....The LameStream Media, which is The Enemy of the People, is working overtime with made up stories in order to drive dissension and distrust!

There is way more of this stuff than I realized.

In all seriousness, maybe we truly are due for a sodom and gomorrah style event, if pedophilia and human trafficking is as widespread as it appears to be, and if pretty much everyone in our political, cultural, economic and even military leadership is either actively partaking in it or at the very least is fully aware and unwilling to speak out about it.

Was the photo of Ciaramello in the group of Obama WH staffers real or photoshopped? That photo has been 'shopped before, I remember seeing it with a jaunty, smiling, tie-adjusting Lindsey Graham added in, for example.

Ok, I see Porch's definitive statement.

[clarice]

I agree, porch--that nonsense is all over the IT and he doesn't look much like Ciaramella.

Bill Barr did not decline my request to talk about Ukraine. The story was a Fake Washington Post con job with an “anonymous” source that doesn’t exist. Just read the Transcript. The Justice Department already ruled that the call was good. We don’t have freedom of the press!

The degenerate Washington Post MADE UP the story about me asking Bill Barr to hold a news conference. Never happened, and there were no sources!

Based on the information released last night about the Fake Whistleblowers attorney, the Impeachment Hoax should be ended IMMEDIATELY! There is no case, except against the other side!

This got re-tweeted, but was originally posted last August. I still think it's a good idea:

Trump should start a podcast. A sort of 21st century Fireside chat. It would immediately be the biggest podcast in the country

Great campaign tool that nobody is using right now- as far as I know

Trump bypassed the media with Twitter. Podcast is an even better way to do that
