All these Trump sycophantic suckups are selling tell all books and trying to rehab their images by claiming they knew how bad Trump was only after working in Trumpworld and enabling his lies, covering up his crimes, and being an accomplice to the worst pandemic response in our history resulting in 500,000+ dead Americans and a wrecked economy.
No. The only way I want to hear from these fuckers is under oath at trials for everyone involved in Trumpworld and the nonstop chaos and criminal misconduct.
Grisham’s role was chief propagandist to cover up Trump lies and crimes.
That was her fucking job. She lied to the media every fucking day. She got paid by taxpayers to lie to them about the state of Trumpworld and the government on a daily basis.
She sabotaged the US government because she was a Trump toady.

His team colluded with Russians to provide propaganda at key points in the campaigns to persuade voters to support him. Wikileaks clearly was affiliated with the Russians. But voting equipment was probably not tampered with to change the results of votes that were cast.

It’s still astonishing how late night hosts are doing a better job with the news reporting than actual news outlets, and how awful our WH/Congressional/political news journalists are at asking basic questions, let alone follow ups.
I think it comes down to framing. Late night hosts can play off things as humorous, but the journalists need continued access and they feel like they have to constantly spew nonsense to stay on the good side with policy insiders and sources.

Womp womp. Saturday Night Live’s season premiere, hosted by Owen Wilson with musical guest Kacey Musgraves, drew in 4.9 million total viewers—down 41% overall from SNL’s Chris Rock-hosted Season 46 premiere. These numbers make this premiere the all-time lowest rating for a SNL season premiere in the series’ 47-year history, as per Deadline.
However, it’s important to note these numbers only reflect live viewings on cable. This is the first season SNL is available to stream live on NBC’s Peacock, and since streaming numbers are typically kept under lock and key, there’s no telling how this affected the rating.
The live sketch variety show isn’t alone in its struggle when it comes to network ratings. But even with this new low, SNL remains a leader in cable viewership. Wilson’s episode still ended up with the second-highest ratings number in the 18-49 demographic for any comedy during this year’s Fall TV Premiere Week, behind another long-running titan, The Simpsons.

Four major access points that Jan. 6 rioters used to break into and overtake the U.S. Capitol had something unusual in common: They were among a dozen or so ground-floor windows and glass-paned doors that had not been recently reinforced.
The majority of the Capitol’s 658 single-pane windows were quietly upgraded during a 2017-19 renovation of the historic building. The original wooden frames and glass were covered with a second metal frame containing bomb-resistant glass.But planners skipped about a dozen ground-floor windows, including some located in doors, because they were deemed to be low risk in the event of implosion, largely due to their discreet or shielded location, or because the building couldn’t structurally handle the load of the heavier frames.
And whether by sheer luck, real-time trial and error, or advance knowledge by rioters, several of those vulnerable windows and two glass-paned doors — protected with only a thin Kevlar film added after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — became easy entry points for hundreds of Trump supporters who overran and ransacked the building on Jan. 6.

Womp womp. Saturday Night Live’s season premiere, hosted by Owen Wilson with musical guest Kacey Musgraves, drew in 4.9 million total viewers—down 41% overall from SNL’s Chris Rock-hosted Season 46 premiere. These numbers make this premiere the all-time lowest rating for a SNL season premiere in the series’ 47-year history, as per Deadline.
However, it’s important to note these numbers only reflect live viewings on cable. This is the first season SNL is available to stream live on NBC’s Peacock, and since streaming numbers are typically kept under lock and key, there’s no telling how this affected the rating.
The live sketch variety show isn’t alone in its struggle when it comes to network ratings. But even with this new low, SNL remains a leader in cable viewership. Wilson’s episode still ended up with the second-highest ratings number in the 18-49 demographic for any comedy during this year’s Fall TV Premiere Week, behind another long-running titan, The Simpsons.

The Constitution still does not require that citizens vote for president.

That happens. The stuff that survives culturally for any duration is generally the higher quality works; e.g. the 80+% of the various genres that is poor is quickly forgotten while the better quality stuff survives and is remembered. And the “classic” rock musicians for example generally have more than their share of mediocre product that is not what is constantly played.

Maryland anti-vaxxer murdered his pharmacist brother because he believed vaccines were poison: prosecutors
46-year-old Jeffrey Burnham told his mother that he planned on confronting 58-year-old brother Brian Robinette because he was his own clients by getting them vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
In addition to allegedly killing Robinette, he is also alleged to have killed 57-year-old sister-in-law Sue Robinette and and 83-year-old Rebecca Reynolds, a resident of Cumberland, Maryland whose car he stole and drove to his brother’s house.
“According to the charging documents filed Wednesday against Burnham related to the Howard County murders, Burnham told another unnamed person that his brother was ‘killing people with the COVID shot,’” reports the Baltimore Sun. “Burnham’s mother Evelyn Burnham previously expressed concerns about her younger son’s mental health.

I have bought two MIM Teles. The first I got in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis for $250 and the second a couple of years later for $300. Both off of Craigslist, which I doubt I’d use right now. The pickups definitely all worked, but they were the worst thing about both guitars—both played quite well needing no real modification. The pickups went from shrill (bridge) to dull (neck) to mud (both). I gave one guitar to my son and he still plays the original pups, but through a little Fender amp with lots of preloaded settings that actually sort of ameliorate the problems with the pups; but the other has pretty good Bill Lawrence pups that I put in that chime well and don’t sound awful (the $250 one). I’m thinking of upgrading the pickups in that one at some point, but want to do something about my son’s for when he comes home from college for Xmas. I’ve heard good things about Toneriders. Curious if anyone has used these or knows of good inexpensive pickups for Teles. The Toneriders come in at about $120 for the pair.

As a part of the agreement, reached on July 27, Bagheri must serve 20 hours of court-approved community service and abstain from organizing any unpermitted gatherings for six months. If she violates either term of the agreement, she still may face prosecution.
re: #194 Targetpractice
That’s what happens when a country is actually interested in dealing with a pandemic, rather than hoping it just goes away before the elections.
Their formula for reopening public events is called “3G” : geimpft, genesen, getestet (vaccinated, recovered, tested)
And one of my favorite consonant clusters in German can be found in their word for “vaccine mandate”: Impfpflicht
(I do not go so much for length of words, more for density of puffing, growling, crashing and crunching noises)
re: #197 A hollow voice says Vaccinate the world!
A better choice for floating unsubstantiated rumors, indeed. At least Cruz COULD have done something like that.
Two arguments against Cruz in this (wild ass) scenario:
1. Cruz wants more than anything to be president, and this is the sort of thing that would torpedo any future presidential run if true and exposed
2. Cruz is, ultimately a fucking coward with little conviction
re: #191 Barefoot Grin
I have bought two MIM Teles. The first I got in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis for $250 and the second a couple of years later for $300. Both off of Craigslist, which I doubt I’d use right now. The pickups definitely all worked, but they were the worst thing about both guitars—both played quite well needing no real modification. The pickups went from shrill (bridge) to dull (neck) to mud (both). I gave one guitar to my son and he still plays the original pups, but through a little Fender amp with lots of preloaded settings that actually sort of ameliorate the problems with the pups; but the other has pretty good Bill Lawrence pups that I put in that chime well and don’t sound awful (the $250 one). I’m thinking of upgrading the pickups in that one at some point, but want to do something about my son’s for when he comes home from college for Xmas. I’ve heard good things about Toneriders. Curious if anyone has used these or knows of good inexpensive pickups for Teles. The Toneriders come in at about $120 for the pair.
I haven’t used those. I think I was maybe a level up from that on my mexico strat. It was probably a precursor to the Player series (it’s been more than 10 years since I bought it.) I did own a Mexican telecaster, I think a kind of reissue of a 72 thinline, and while I can’t remember for certain, I think it had just one single coil pickup. I played it through a traynor amp, and it definitely sounded like a tele :-) I have been told that changing pickups in a Mexican strat can make an absolute world of difference in player satisfaction. I’m watching Bob Margolin on some video from Hal Leonard, and the man’s tele definitely looks like it has been through the wars, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of being there.

There are so many options on the market now, I’m not surprised you hadn’t heard of them. I hadn’t either until this year after a couple of too-long reads in threads on Gearpage and the Tele forum (can’t remember what it’s called).
I’ve already posted about this, but my biggest upgrade was to my 1960s non-reverse Gibson Firebird with the three P90s. The guy who did the job was excellent. I was getting severe feedback because the old pickups had dried out. So, he rewaxed them, and along with his other work on the electronics, the frets, and the nut, he made it sing like new. It’s awesome and has great range of tones. I just wish I could play well enough to do it justice.

Check out GFS pickups, sold by Guitar Fetish. I’ve used their Classic 50s, Overwound 50s, Lil’ Puncher (tiny humbucker) and Fatbody pickups in a few of my Tele builds. Best part about it is they won’t set you back much more than 80 bucks on the high side for a set. Lotsa bang (and twang) for the buck.

One of the law enforcement officers in Southern California who was a member of the Oath Keepers in the past, according to the Orange County Register, is Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.

I had the traynor 40 wine red combo, and that little mother was loud as hell, but absolutely bell-like when aiming for a clean tone. I was living with my dad at the time, in a house on half an acre, and I was still scared when he was out of the house to crank it past 4 because the windows would vibrate and I was pretty sure the neighbors were getting a good taste of my inept attempt at learning guitar. (oh, editing to mention I eventually picked up the extension cab to go with it. I know it didn’t make it any louder, but it then became loud as hell in stereo, which was kind of cool, and kind of scarey at the same time).

For Teles, there’s a company in LA called Budz, and they made the pickups in my Danocaster Tele. All of the twang without the shrillness of a lot of Tele pickups. Just a really good modern Tele tone.
