Is there an election coming up any time soon? Ya couldn't tell by me.

I've spent my entire life not giving a shit about politics. Why it's become somewhat  important now is beyond me... 

... 

A bunch of scumbags - they call themselves 'Black Lives Matter protesters'  harassed white diners over the weekend in Pittsburgh.


“Fuck the white people that built the system,” one demonstrator could be heard yelling at the patrons, some of whom grabbed their belongings and walked away.

The group approached an older man and woman who stayed put, with a female protester clad in a shirt reading “Nazi Lives Don’t Matter” reaching onto their table, grabbing a drink, downing it and walking away as the patrons look on in disbelief.

Know why this shit doesn't happen here? Florida is a conceal carry state. These motherfuckers wouldn't dare do this shit here.

Biden on Monday threatened to impose “a personal price” on business leaders if they resist attempts to unionize during his presidency.


Biden made the threat as he vowed to be the most pro-union president in history during a Labor Day webstream with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

“I’m going to hold company executives personally liable for interfering with workers who are attempting to unionize. It’s not enough just to have their corporations pay a fine. If they’re part of the problem, they are going to pay a personal price,” Biden said. He also raged on about an enforceable $15 national minimum wage and a ban on right to work laws, which prohibit the forced payment of union dues in 27 states.

“I’m going to be the strongest 'labor president' you have ever had,” the former vice president-turned wannabe communist dictator said.

This rooftop gig was the final public performance of the Beatles. On 30 January 1969, the band, with keyboardist Billy Preston, the Beatles surprised a central London office and fashion district crowd with an impromptu concert from the roof of the headquarters of the band's multimedia corporation Apple Corps at 3 Savile Row. 
 
In a 42-minute set, the Beatles played nine songs before the Metropolitan Police Service asked them to 'reduce the volume'. Footage from the performance was later used in the documentary film 'Let It Be'.

I thought him and Trump didn't like each other any more...

Bolton dismissed the claims as 'simply false' during an appearance on Fox News' The Story on Monday. It comes following a report in The Atlantic last week that accused Trump of describing the Aisne-Marne American World War I cemetery in France as being 'filled with losers' after he cancelled a 2018 planned trip. 'According to what that article said, the president made disparaging remarks about soldiers and people buried in the cemetery in connection with the decision for him not to go to the ceremony that was planned that afternoon, and that was simply false,' Bolton said during the interview. 'I don't know who told the author that, but that was false.'

Boats Keep Sinking at the

 Trump Boat Parades



(This smarmy-ass article is from NY Magazine) - The president loves his “beautiful ‘boaters,’” his well-off, pleasure-craft-owning supporters who, since early May, have held nautical parades in his honor. Throughout the summer, Trump has cited his popularity among small boat owners as counter-evidence proving he is actually ahead in the presidential race. “Are we polling the boaters yet?” he reportedly asked during one June campaign meeting, fixated on a show of support that affirms his popularity among his most ardent backers: wealthy, suburban weekenders that already own several flags with his name on them.
 
Encouraged by the president’s zeal, boaters have been taking to the nation’s waterways and no-wake-zones throughout the summer as a show of pride in their candidate and other related political interests. But some of his supporters have done so with a little too much speed. To date, at least seven boats have capsized or sank due to the intensity of the wakes at the maritime rallies.
 
Big fuckin' deal.

Facebook will pay users 

to log off before 2020 election



Facebook is offering users money to refrain from using the site and Instagram in the weeks leading up to the bitterly contested November elections. To assess the impact of social media on voting, the company will pay selected members up to $120 to deactivate their accounts beginning at the end of September.
 
“Anyone who chooses to opt-in – whether it’s completing surveys or deactivating FB or IG for a period of time – will be compensated,” Facebook spokesperson Liz Bourgeois tweeted last week. “This is fairly standard for this type of academic research.” The Silicon Valley giant said it expects 200,000 to 400,000 people to take part.
 
“Representative, scientific samples of people in the US will be selected and invited to participate in the study. Some potential participants will see a notice in Facebook or Instagram inviting them to take part in the study,” Facebook said. “Study samples will be designed to ensure that participants mirror the diversity of the US adult population, as well as users of Facebook and Instagram.”

Like the story says, there's a serious coin shortage to go along with all the other Covid-related bullshit we gotta put up with.

Barb bought this set for me a few years back. This simple little thing is fuckin' brilliant. In each successive tray the holes get smaller. Ya pour all of the different coins in to the top tray and shake it. The coins fall through to the shelf they belong in.



It's relatively inexpensive and easy as shit to use.

Wouldn't it be fun to grab one of these 'health officials' by the ears and just shake 'em till they fell apart? Into little tiny 'health official' pieces? Wouldn't that be worth doing? Just once or twice? Wouldn't it? I am so sick of this whole fuckin' fiasco.

President Trump on Monday asked a reporter to remove his mask while asking a question, but the journalist instead offered to speak louder. Trump told Reuters reporter Jeff Mason that his face mask “muffled” his question during an outdoors North Portico press conference.
 
Mason, a former president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, which requires reporters to wear masks during the coronavirus pandemic, politely rebuffed Trump.
 
“You’re going to have to take that off, please. Just, you can take it off. You’re, how many feet are you away?” Trump said. Mason countered: “I’ll speak a lot louder.” Trump objected: “Well, if you don’t take it off, you are very muffled. So if you would take it off, it would be a lot easier.”
