    Good set this week, OUC! It's hard to believe that more than 15% of the electorate is going to vote for Kommie-La (one has to figure 15% would be easily conned). The lapel pin in #7 is spot on. The Netanyahu trophy room is a work in progress. "HUH?" - exactly! Yeah, that 3:30am on 11/6 could be a bad moon on the rise.

    Thanks for the great start to my day, OUC!

    Somebody should make a meme somehow with the theme that if Harris had been a slave, back in slave days, no one would buy her.

      Her "owner" would have paid someone to take her away!

        There's a rather winsome story in the book written by a Northern once-abolitionist in 1854, a pastor in a New England parish, who toured the South for three months for health reasons, but studied the slave-and-plantation system in the South. He also showed how Harriet Beecher Stowe's 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' was horribly skewed and unrepresentative of the institution in the South. The book is "The Southside View of Slavery" by Nehemiah Adams.

        But the story concerned a slave-owner relationship that wasn't working out, and in the manner of the times, the young woman went to another man and asked: "Will you buy me?" And is probably asked in the sense of: "Will you take care of me?"

        Adams also relates how it was absolutely normal for owners to care for their slaves long after the slaves could perform work in the fields or in the house.

        I highly recommend it; however, Internet Archive has been infiltrated in the last week or two with cyberattacks, and isn't up yet. And maybe for reasons of access to books like this.

    It is obvious to anyone with two working synapsis, Kabala is an empty bag.
    There's nothing there folks.
    No votes put her there. She was "Selected"
    She was first out in the last primary (her own state didn't vote for her)
    And BuyDumb was 19th out of 20!
    June 7th 2024, she was publicly exposed as a liability by the same media who now props up this shill up like mothers milk. Square that circle.
    And who actually cares what celebrities think?(the kind of people you wouldn't let your children be alone with)
    The media is at the point now where every word that crosses their lips must be assumed to be a lie. Faked crowds, fake interviews, fake polls.

    I mean, if half the country is voting for a dipshit like her, we have much bigger problems than an simple idiot candidate.

    "...pay their fair share". For years, I have said that if you use that term and cannot specifically tell me what my fair share actually is, then you would go to jail until you either agreed to never use the term again (under penalty of death) or could give me a specific number that you thought my fair share really is.

      It's possible that the fair share of the top 5% is more than the 66% they now pay; depends on how much of the total national income they earn. I couldn't find any data on that, but I did find that the top 1% earns 20% of the total.
