Re Erle Stanley; I may have shared this story with you before, but I had a feral hanging around my place, and for the longest time, years, I couldn’t catch him. I’m pretty sure he had a broken front leg at one point, and I still couldn’t catch him. But I put out food and water on the back steps.

Shelter Cat Update!

I commend them for earning lots of money off of it. I won’t agree that it’s “real” work. Doing your own taxes isn’t even real work (if she doesn’t have an accountant). It’s just being an adult. The rest of what you’re talking about is step or two up from a hobby at best.

Okay, I’m going to admit doing something similar once. I was in college taking a photography class and I had checked out some equipment for a project that was due the next week. The project had to be photographed that weekend so we could get the film developed (pre-digital) in order to show in class that week. It…

Yeah - I mean, I didn’t have a lot of sympathy for him in the first place, but I do wish his supporters would stop making him out as such a martyr - a far bit of his legal woes are from himself over dramatising the whole situation.

Yeah Sweden has said they will reopen the investigation into him if they get their hands on him so I hope he gets deported back their so his supporters can stop claiming that.  I dont know why other sites here parrot that line.

He’s 47 and looks 65 - 70. Is this a lesson for all the kids out there that this is what happens to you if you act like a giant douchebag?

I’d go even further. Snowden was a low-level tool who had no idea what he had, and passed it off to Wikileaks (which by that point was a full-fledged asset of Russian intelligence) in toto regardless, and is now living in a Russian-provided safe house with a Russian wife. He doesn’t take a shit without Putin’s…

Unless Fred just bought her a way in.

Also, he filed a human rights complaint against Ecuador (you know, the country that was protecting him) with the UN because they told him the embassy staff wasn’t his personal maid service and he was expected to clean up after himself and take care of his cat.

Related- a few months ago I saw a car with a bumper sticker “Any functioning adult: 2020"

I don’t consider Julian Assange as shining pillar of either of these things. He’s a skeevy man who leverages sensitive information for personal gain and attention.

Wikileaks is Russian for "2 prostitutes peeing on the bed"

it was based on an “error” by the Fox Business Channel’s graphics dept.

Yea I think there is a very important discussion to be had about whistle blowing and almost cartoonish villainy leaking. 

The thing about that approval rating tweet is that Fox/Dobbs put the wrong number up there. His overall approval is still under 50. Pretty sure the 55 is the unfavorable %.

About Trump’s tweet: it was based on an error by the Fox Business Channel’s graphics dept. In fact 55% was his UNfavorable rating in that poll. (Somehow 43% still approve)

I didn’t know Trump had a sister before this week, but I’m stunned someone he is related to worked hard enough to become a judge.

You’re spot on with saying that Pelosi’s advice to slow down was misguided.  These people were elected because they were outspoken and the electorate was all about someone finally willing to speak truth to power.
