Newhart was genius, will miss him, but have you seen Bryan Cranston wake up in his Malcolm in the Middle bed with Jane Kaczmarek and describe his dream of Breaking Bad? Priceless

Thanks so much for ending with the Bob Newhart clip!

Here's a great short documentary made last year by Judd Apatow you'll enjoy as well.

This essay will be of interest to TPM readers to decode the cult mania of our country

Marsha Blackburn is proud of that video mobbing the SS agent. This will incite the crazies with guns to further violence against law enforcement. That’s their intention. Maybe they should ask how an AR-15 bullet, or even shrapnel, would really behave if skimming an ear. It would be shredded. Trump was out playing golf the next day while a man was being prepared for his funeral—seen as collateral damage by Trump, who benefited from the tragedy through T-shirt sales and a huge overhead mural at the RNC.

What about Trump's ear?

Jeepers, we get MSM deep

dive into every woman's

miscarriage that could be a

possible abortion; hourly

updates on the man who

fired the shot at Trump and

"supposedly" wounded him,

but nada on the wound.

All these supposed top dem

dogs asking Biden to step

down? Check out each of

their net worth. They are

discounting 14 million votes

and the very important Black

Women not backing in their

power play.

What exactly have any of

these people done to bring

this country and the current

administration to where it is

today in the past 3-3/4 yrs?

Adam Schiff? 🤣 They are

tearing the party apart at the

most critical time in our

history. STOP IT!!!

Biden has raised $460M, Trump Pennies on the dollar, Welch-Schiff (Dems unsuccessfully pushing Joe out) have raised $20k 😂 Follow the money! Joes got this. Follow Meidas Touch for coverage of the Republican criminal convention MSM didn’t.

I agree that the GOP will never reemerge, even if Trump loses. The Romney/Cheney resistance is futile. If Trump wins there will be a Cultural Revolution of sorts. We already see the beginnings of this. In Maoist China schools became reeducation operations. Certain technologies were not used because they were not ideologically correct. People were rounded up into camps. National borders were closed. Homosexuals and minorities were repressed. Many died.

It’s their own fault. They let this happen.

Impeached him twice

25th amendment

14th amendment

Biden withdrawal countdown slogging along, with each day seeing yet another defector go public, and the usual suspects "privately" expressing their growing doubts. Not sure how long this drip-drip-water-torture regimen will persist, but if Joe doesn't announce soon that he's done here, party heavyweights will give him a final push out the door, citing deteriorating polls, major donors on pause, "drag on the ticket" yadda-yadda.

What only a few days ago looked as if Biden would weather the storm, it now appears that the river of criticism has crested over the levee, and with the GOP having a strong tailwind coming out of their four-day coronation of King Donald of Orange, Dems don't have the luxury of letting the Biden team run out the clock. Start preparing the "Thanks for the memories" speeches, get an ambitious campaign schedule and messaging prepared for VP Harris, and let's go to war!

Oh, the Republican Party of old is around, disinterested in actually doing much to impede the Party of Leo. The descendants of the Rockefeller wing of the GOP is now doing business as the Party of Clinton.

And I see I pulled a fast one there. That opinion can’t be criticized without a greater familiarity with history than average.

As for the GOP generally, the insanity in the House and actions of SCOTUS clearly show that, at least on the national level, just five or six de facto dictators are enough. No need for a full political party.

Still think people should be planning for the highly likely near and mid-term future… but I’m apparently in the smallest of majorities…
