It's hilarious that this is even relevant. Believe all women was non-existent during the Kavanaugh hearings and Trump's tenure. But for Massie it's ok.

Say what you want about the French, but they know how to riot and not just stand around waving signs with their big fat asses.
True, the French aren't generally as passive as we or the British are. I've said before that if a Civil War does actually pop off somewhere in the West, it'll be in France before the US or UK.
They're approaching an economic crisis, Macron's approval ratings have been down in the teens for a while, and over half the country believes he should resign. Incidentally, they've also had record numbers of young adults converting to Catholicism in the last year. The breaking point is much closer IMO.

The Newsom jig is up. He cant even contend for running for President--he is so done politically. Yet Carlson calls him competent...
Tucker called him not incompetent, and far more malicious and less transparent than Trump. There is nothing untrue about any of that when you consider how he has managed to fail upward in his career.
You just said yourself he would have been recalled if not for cheating. He clearly still has influential support behind him who want him in power, and he's somehow slick enough to survive frick-ups that would have already killed most political careers.
Democrats demonstrate over and over that they don't care what the will of the people is. They will do whatever it takes to install their POS to further their agendas.
Making the Reflecting Pool look nice for a fraction of the cost = bad.

Another beauty about Tucker is that of all the states he chose to live in he went to Maine but you never hear him complaining about their policies and politicians.
He did two entire shows with a journalist from Maine investigating government corruption and ties to China, the most recent one just a few months ago.
Hell, when he was still at FOX, he did a Fox Nation special focused on green energy scams in Maine.

Dave seems like a nice guy... but he's really dumb.
I didn't get it at first, but the more I heard him talk, the more I realized he's not an intellectual or quick on his feet. People just liked him because he was a gay who left the plantation.
I used to really enjoy Rubin's more moderated approach. He didn't act like the smartest guy in the room, didn't talk a million miles a minute, and injected some humor.
He has really turned into a nasty, bloodthirsty neo-con the last couple of years though. I don't know if some old tendencies from his TYT days have bubbled to the surface, but he has become difficult to listen to.

I saw that posted on twitter. 17 beers.:lol:
quote:
* Huey was only shot one time
* There was a clear entry and exit wound, and no bullet was recovered from Huey
Dr Vidrine, the surgeon of record, stated that two bullets were recovered from Long, one being a .38. The observed wound was reportedly caused by a .22, .32, .38, .45, or a combination of two.
LINK
Also, as stated in your link to the 1992 report, the fired .32 caliber projectile recovered with Weiss' gun was determined not to have been fired by that gun.
quote:
* Long lived for 30 more hours, and continually stated that Weiss had shot him
Do you have another source for these statements? Because the 1992 report you linked simply states that Long and the witnesses didn't identify anyone other than Weiss "to [his] knowledge."
We do know that a letter from Dr Ochsner and an affidavit from Long's nurse stated that Long had a cut/bruised lip, where Long claimed Weiss "hit" him. However, this incident isn't acknowledged in the 1935 or 1992 file.
I'm just skeptical of a heavy reliance on matching evidence to the witness statements from 1935 because a cover-up at that time is definitely plausible to me. The 1992 report even admits a "distressing" absence of a chain of custody for the physical evidence tested.
Why did Weiss schedule surgery for the following morning if he was going to kill the most powerful man in the state? How come nobody confirmed he punched Long when Long said he did? Why was Weiss' car moved? How did his keys and the alleged murder weapon vanish? Why was there no ballistics investigation in 1935? Why were there no autopsies performed on Long or Weiss in 1935? Why did the investigator for Long's life insurance policy determine the death was accidental?

Most messed up thing you’ve seen in Walmart
I offered to drive my mom there because she wanted to pick up some things for Easter. Our cashier was a fat dude with a neckbeard, pink longish hair, septum ring, and his name tag said "Faith".
When we got back to the car, Mom laughed and asked if it was supposed to be a girl or boy. I said probably neither, and we left it at that.
re: Was Huey Long shot by Weiss or was it a stray bullet from one of his body guards?

On the other hand, why did he bring a pistol if he didn't intend to use it? Maybe he was trying to work up his nerve with the multiple approaches. Or maybe the brushoffs angered him and he did it on the spur of the moment.
While we know Weiss owned a gun and kept it in the glove compartment of his car, we don't 100% know if he even had it with him in the Capitol. At some point, his car was mysteriously moved from where it was reportedly parked, the glove compartment appeared as if it was broken open, and the keys weren't found.
The gun also went missing for decades until it was found in the lockbox of the daughter of one of the investigators, and it didn't match the caliber of bullet extracted from Long.
quote:
Or maybe it was the bodyguards, but without Weiss the fracas never would have started.
Probably not. There are written statements that Long was treated for a busted lip, and that Long himself claimed that's where Weiss hit him. So yeah, I think there's a good possibility that Weiss got agitated and punched him. However, if that's true, I think it's even more unlikely Weiss THEN pulled out his gun and got a shot off before Long's bodyguards reacted.

I don't know many MAGA people who believe in massive redistribution of wealth policies.
A better modern-day comparison to Long's populism might be Bernie Sanders.

Wasn't his supposed motive that Huey Long had somehow gotten his father-in-law replaced from a government position?
Doesn't sound like much of a motive to me. I can see not being happy about it. However, assassinating Huey Long and either getting killed or ruining your entire fricking life because of it?
Long was trying to gerrymander the father-in-law's judicial seat away with a bill that very night.
To your point about it being a weak motive, there are a couple of things that make it hard for me to believe Weiss intended to kill Long over that.
1. Weiss made a home visit to a patient after Sunday dinner, and reportedly called an anesthesiologist to schedule surgery for the next morning. Why would he bother if he didn't intend to be there?
2. Multiple witnesses identified Weiss at the Capitol waiting to talk to Long. I think it was an historian on Unsolved Mysteries who said Weiss tried to approach Long twice before the actual shooting, but was brushed aside. If Weiss intended to kill Long, why didn't he just shoot him the first time he saw him?
re: Tuck denies talking about Trump as the antichrist, even after being shown the footage

Covid-19, and the ensuing lockdowns, broke Tucker Carlson. After all, it was Carlson who drove to the White House in the middle of the night back in March 2020 to tell Trump to start taking the pandemic seriously. He bought into the early fear mongering about the virus and allowed it to influence his judgment. In hindsight, probably not a good idea. Now he's skeptical about anything and everything that purports to be part of an official narrative. Now he sounds like a quack and a grifter to both sides, not just the Left.
You might be onto something here. People forget that he was regularly talking about a coronavirus outbreak in China back in December of 2019, and insisting the government and general public take it seriously.
He claims he gave up drinking years ago, but I've been wondering lately if he's been heavy into psychedelics since Covid/FOX. I mean, he's an admitted Deadhead who still includes his pic with Jerry Garcia in his show intro. He just seems extra paranoid about everything and is unable to keep his thoughts or memory straight.
What a shitshow for some cars on pit road. Logano is out from his collision with Custer.

Just talking to Serkis it would hard to imagine they didn’t know what this movie was.
Yes, exactly, this is the main thing I can't reconcile.
Serkis has been documented talking about trying to get this film made for over a decade. He didn't just recently decide to alter Orwell's story on a whim. His own interpretation was clearly planned.
Serkis boasts that Orwell would have "wanted the controversy" and that he created what Orwell would've written about today. Like my dad said earlier, "I didn't realize Andy Serkis was best buds with George Orwell'." :lol:
quote:
There was also a joke with the main pig farting then saying “that’s the sound of freedom”. Looks more like a Hollywood humiliation ritual than a mistake to me.
I saw that, which is insane. Definitely intentional in my opinion, especially since The Sound Of Freedom was legitimately a hit film for Angel.
I posted earlier in this thread that Angel may have just not been paying enough attention to what Serkis was doing. I still hope that's the case, but it's hard to give them benefit of the doubt at this point.
