Remember, this is only strip #35 and he's done over 200. They improve over time.

 

Here's the aired version, unfortunately in low quality. It's still pretty funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0v5TIbTG9Q

 

Jared Kushner just flagrantly violating the Logan Act multiple times. Will anything come of it? Doubtful.

Yes. That's exactly what I hope they do in January.

That's a big fucking if considering dock workers can make a hell of a lot less than that. In fact, the top rate is only a little over $80,000 a year.

If you work a ton of overtime, you can earn over $100,000. The average pay is a bit over $50,000.

Dock workers can make as little as $14 an hour. A 62% pay rise would bring it up to $22.68 an hour. Over 6 years. Sure, $40,000 a year is better than a lot of jobs. It's still atrociously low considering the amount of back-breaking labor that can be involved.

Hence the "ish." It's a victory. It could be a better one. That's a 15% difference from what they wanted.

I was also under that impression.

Pretty substantial compared to the average American raise or pretty substantial compared to what should be fair and livable?

Sesame Street guest stars always seem to really get into it.

Even people I don't like I can't help but enjoy when they do a Sesame Street appearance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4cUQ1ItK-w

That's quite the "maybe" for something that also makes Trump look like even his wife isn't on his side to anyone who is not a low-information voter and possibly plenty who are and hear about it the same way.

So if that's the sort of stupid tactic they're going for, sounds like they're headed for failure. Good.

On the other hand, Occam's Razor would suggest she just isn't on the same page with her husband who she hates.

Nothing's wrong with it. If that's a good source, it's a good source. They said the GVA source was a bad one, so I asked for a better one and got a bunch of lies about myself in return from them.

 

She waited until the last minute to do laundry yesterday. So when I woke her up this morning, I said to her, “put on some dirty clothes, go to the dryer, get some clean clothes, then go take a shower.” The dryer is in the kitchen pantry and I was making tea, which is why she had to put on dirty clothes.

So first, she just went to the shower and I repeated it again when I heard the shower door open. Then she got her dirty clothes on and came out with her iPad because I guess she thought she was going to have breakfast.

I told her to put down the iPad and get the clean clothes and I said “go take those and get a shower.”

AND SHE STARTED TAKING HER CLOTHES OFF IN FRONT OF ME!

I very quickly said, “no, take the clean clothes to your room, go take a shower, then put the clean clothes on.” She’s taking a shower now, so I hope she figured it out.

She was sort of staggery and grumbly the whole time too. Very little intelligible speech.

If she hasn't and you hear I was killed and my brain was eaten, that's why.

 
 
 

The newspaper reported that as early as the fall of 2022, Musk poured over $50 million into Citizens for Sanity, a group spearheaded by employees of Miller’s nonprofit, America First Legal. The funds were largely spent on aggressive ad campaigns targeting Democrats on hot-button issues like immigration and transgender rights in key battleground states just days before the midterm elections of that year.

While Musk appeared to shift politically only recently, publicly proclaiming his support for Trump’s 2024 presidential election bid, the report shows he was, in fact, a significant behind-the-scenes figure for GOP causes long before creating a super PAC to support the Republican nominee.

Musk’s donations make him one of the largest contributors to conservative efforts.

“More than half of the money ended up in the coffers of a pro-DeSantis political-action committee,” reported WSJ.

Musk contributed $10 million to support Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s 2024 presidential bid, a donation that had not been previously reported. Despite DeSantis’s early exit from the race, Musk’s financial support further cemented his status as a major GOP backer.

I haven't been this frustrated in ages. You know whatever the reference was, he got it completely wrong.

The three women, who know Kennedy through Children’s Health Defense, an anti-vaccine group he chairs, have been sharing their alleged experiences in text messages with others in the wake of the scandal involving Kennedy and New York magazine correspondent Olivia Nuzzi.

The source said Trump’s top advisers and donors see Kennedy as a problem for the campaign, particularly given the news of his alleged infidelity comes on the heels of unfounded rumors that the former president himself was having an affair with Laura Loomer, a conspiracy theorist who traveled with his campaign for several days last month. Loomer vehemently denied any affair with Trump and mocked those who suggested it.

Kennedy has long been dogged by allegations of infidelity. In diaries obtained by the New York Post after the 2012 death by suicide of his first wife, Mary Richardson, Kennedy reportedly kept a “ledger” tallying the dozens of women he slept with while married.

Some people close to Mary have criticized Kennedy for how he treated his late wife. Last year, in a scathing post to social media, Billy Baldwin said Mary “cried on my shoulder about Bobby numerous times” before her death. “If Bobby were half a man she would still be alive today,” Baldwin wrote. “It will all come out. His campaign will be over in weeks. If these walls could talk.”

In the diaries, Kennedy reportedly described himself as a victim of the women he said pursued him for sex, encounters he described as “muggings.” He allegedly wrote that his greatest flaw was “my lust demons,” and that he had to “avoid the company of women. You have not the strength to resist their charms.”
