I don’t know, we’re pretty crazy too.We sometimes forget that “average government incompetence, cruelty, and mean gummint” as Z acknowledges, are all the same thing.
1.Initially, in the hope that the West’s money-laundering operations there, could take over the East’s version, run by the Russian “oligarchs”.
2. Secondarily, as part of Western post-modern progressives’ OCD about “punishing” Russia for voluntarily giving up on Communism three decades ago, just when those same progressives were hoping to surrender Europe and North America to the USSR.
(Surrendering to the PRC was just a bit too déclassé for such champagne socialists then, not so much so now it appears.)
3. Now, mainly for the financial graft and the bloodsport spectacle.
A buddy of mine in NC called to let me know he and his wife were alive and safe. They don’t have power yet. Their yard flooded but their house is intact.
Elon says FEMA is preventing his crews from delivering/deploying Starlink.
Biden, Harris and Blinken have much to answer for, to say the least.
Elon explained what was happening to Tucker. Elon said the feds prevented them from landing unless they could “identify” who they were meeting on the ground… which they can’t do since those on the ground often don’t have power. cellular or internet access. So Elon took to Twitter/X and reported this frustrating Catch22. As a result, Buttgieg called Elon directly, confirmed the details, then took action promptly to remove that restriction.
Having gotten 35 inches of rain and bailing water for 2 days, no power for 2 months Is the best estimate
No phone and no internet unless I go to Boone, help is here, Samaritans purse has the biggest presence but there are others. Haven’t seen the Fed at all. Must still be in Raleigh. Avery county where I live next to Tenn was hit hard. Most of the poles are snapped or washed away and my internet won’t even start till power is restored
Power is from Tn, mtn electric and they aren’t going to start looking at our area for 2 weeks. To many snapped poles. It is kind of fun being a pioneer with power generators, you think of all kinds of ways to do stuff. Anyway DBDers I ain’t dead yet!
I keep having to remind myself amidst the insane insanity that DJT tweeted “checkmate” on Sept. 14. That HAS to mean what it means…
Doesn’t it increasingly seem like the actress who’s playing Kamabla can barely handle the sham-show and is seconds away from a Wicked Witch of the West meltdown? No part of this can possibly be real.
The first part? I dunno, I don’t want to say false hope and I fervently do, not sure about believing the checkmate; I would be very disappointed if he abuses that term that has been so significant to us all as he plays his 4D hand. But?
I truly think Kumalot and the whole cloud over and around her are irrelevant. She ain’t running the campaign and she sure as hell would not be running the country if the worst should happen.
If the two of those considerations are combined to the negative, that DT becomes impotent and the poser becomes “POTUS”…I don’t see how war is not a necessity.
I had suggested we come up with some Z names, as Z-man has no progeny named after him, and somebody suggested Zoe which I have always like and has to be one of them. But the other one? I dunno…

I don’t understand the first panel. It reads to me as if Sam is saying that the videos in the top speech bubble were all fakes, exposed by the common citizen in the lower speech bubble.
OK, still don’t understand. Helene is certainly not fake news. Not sure how “FEMA thugs blocking aid” being debunked is a positive step.

I know it’s OT, and I know he’s just an actor, but if you haven’t seen the USAA commercial with Elliott and Gronkowski, dude looks like death. Which is fine because as much as I once liked him, to use Mr. Wonderful’s great dismissive term, he’s dead to me now.

Even now the swamp critters in the WH are no doubt having Riddler-level joygasms at the body count.
To paraphrase Pogo, we have met the crazy, and he ain’t us.

Why are we in Ukraine?

I ordered StarLink last week, del Oct 23rd…or so.

Well, you gotta admit, Fema does ‘take care of’ their priorities. I mean 4 billion for covid? C’mon man…

Just a simple decision, really. For them, Covid graft is the fastest and best return on their “investment.” Probably the easiest, too.
Since no-one else mentioned it, let give it a go.
Sam got her figure back quickly. I understand nursing helps with that and I expect nursing two of ’em will be even more so.
Did I miss the gender reveal party? Do we have names yet?
They’re girls. I haven’t seen a name yet.
Thank you!
give sam an zed some names 🙂

That was spurred by the namesakes discussion of the girl babies…
