'I have this beautiful luxuriant hair and I put stuff on. I put it in, lather. I like lots of lather because I like it to come out extremely dry because it seems to be slightly thicker that way. And I lather up and then you turn on this crazy shower and the thing drip, drip and you say I'm gonna be here for 45 minutes.' Pro-Biden accounts erupted on social media over Fox…

From Thai PBS World Seven international human rights organisations have written an open letter to Thailand’s Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong, urging him to conduct a transparent investigation into the death of hunger striker Netiporn Sanesangkhom and to end “unlawful” detention of political offenders. The organisations claim that imprisonment of or denial of bail for political activists and protesters, especially those under 18, amounts to an unlawful use of judicial proceedings and are violations of Thailand’s commitment to international standards of human rights. Citing information from Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR), at least 1,954 people, inc…

Before a photo op is starting, Biden turns around to start talking to a soldier that's packing up a parachute and the right-wing media reports it the 20 seconds as "Biden wanders off." Sometimes the rightwing media's bias is laughable.

Biden Can Still Win — If He Runs Like Harry Truman Great article. I'm surprised there haven't been more stories like this. Although one thing that is true about most media talking heads, left of right, is they usually go for the lazy and obvious analysis. Trump leads! Biden should quit! So thinking about Harry Truman may be above their pay grade. There have been endless variations of "2024 is 1980, and Joe Biden is Jimmy Carter" in right wing media. God bless them and their denial of facts. Here's the most important fact about why Biden is more like Truman than Carter. In 1976, Carter beat Ford in part by saying the misery index was way too high. …

It’s been a week since a fascist Kangaroo Court in Manhattan found former President Trump guilty of 34 fake crimes, and he STILL LEADS IN THE POLLS On May 30, all the scheming, plotting, and conspiring between the Biden White House and the judicial system came together to create the talking point that Donald Trump is a convicted felon. After a group of political lynchers who called themselves a jury made that talking point official, the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party we call the corporate media, aka serial liars..... …like the good dogs they are, spent a week repeating the “convicted felon” talking point like it was a mantra, a prayer. And to them, it …

We have a huckster running for POTUS:

From The Nation The Republicans are trying to kill the Democrats with the latter’s own swords, and the battle between “liberals” and “conservatives” has been unfolding with one big plot twist after another, just like what’s happening in the Land of Smiles. The latest unexpected turn of events in America has the conservatives scream “Political persecution!” and the so-called liberals accused of running a “Banana Republic” only known previously to the third world. That irony might be the key difference in the comparison with Thailand. To cut a long story short, Donald Trump’s criminal conviction is putting the American democracy and rule of law under the micr…

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Writing an impassioned letter on Monday to Judge Juan Merchan, Melania Trump argued that sentencing her husband to house arrest would mean cruel and unusual punishment for her. Mrs. Trump wrote that confining her husband to any place where she resides would be a clear violation “not only of the US Constitution, but of the Geneva Conventions.” “Your Honor, you can prevent a humanitarian crisis,” she continued. “The human I speak of is me.” Suggesting an appropriate sentence for her felonious husband, Mrs. Trump wrote, “Prison be best.”

The Fart Trial has daily, if not hourly, news coming out. In deference to Adam Smith in his "Stormy Daniels is different" thread, it has been active for years, I think The Fart Trial deserves its own thread. Rest In Peace Adam, you were 6 years ahead of us!

Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, dies at 86 I love this "Gal's Interview", in which Gayle King really captured the love and respect between Mom and daughter. Marian Anderson: "My saying is, when I grow up I want to be like Michelle Obama." Who was whose rock?

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that, in a three-way contest between Biden, Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 46% of Likely U.S. Voters would choose Trump, 36% would vote for Biden and nine percent (9%) would vote for Kennedy. In April, Trump led by 6 points, 44% to 38% for Biden, with RFK Jr. at 10%. Four percent (4%) now say they’d vote for some other candidate, and another four percent (4%) are undecided. https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/election_2024_trump_now_10_over_biden

The Special Counsel's report showed that Dementia Joe Biden didn't know when his son Beau died, and didn't know when he was Vice President, among other memory lapses. From the Special Counsel's Report: Robert Hur said in his report that the president has suffered from cognitive decline, which has affected his memory. Hur even used this as a basis to recommend that he not be prosecuted for “willfully” retaining classified documents. Per the report: For Hur to have included that special detail about his inability to remember when Beau died in his report, " he did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when …

Shutting down ALL aid. That is their goal. Shutting down ALL reporting. That is their goal. Shutting down ALL resistance. That is their goal. Shutting down ALL life. That is their goal. Stealing everything. That is their goal. Sorry, Israel. Face facts. Net N. Yahoo doesn't want the hostages back. That would end his pretext.

Long-time democrat strategist who lead Bill Clinton to two successful Presidential victories said in his podcast: “Talk about cost of living, and ‘we’re going to help deal with this,’” Carville said. “Don’t talk about f—ing Gaza and student loans." “We keep wondering why these young people are not coming home to the Democrats,” Carville said in a video address for Politicon on Sunday. “Why are Blacks not coming home to the Democrats?

The press is stating that his conservative party is expected to lose in the upcoming election, but he himself chose the early election date. At first glance, it would not seem to be in his interest to hold an early election. If one of you understands why he's doing this, maybe you might educate me. Thanks

Day 1: "We won! Woohoo!! Suck it women, liberals and Democrats! No more abortion! Praise Jesus and Trump!! Celebrations across Conservative America! Praise Liberty and Freedom (for us only)!" Day 2, once the celebrations and thrill of winning died down: "... oh no... We won! What do we do now?? Our supporters are starting to pass near-total/total abortions bans! This is killing us on the polls!!! BLEEP! 😱" Day 3, damage control: "From the very beginning we've stood by a woman's right to choose. Unlike those evil Democrats, we strongly support abortion rights. Yeah. That sounds about right. I'm sure they'll buy it! Good job us!!"

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-accidentially-insults-aileen-cannon-he-criticized-juan-merchan-1903588 On Tuesday, while speaking to reporters outside the courtroom, Trump decried the trial as he took aim at Merchan, noting "take a look at where he comes from," seemingly referring to Merchan being Colombian born.
