Don't believe anything anyone says about the whole stupid & unnecessary mess, from the Bible to Trump

Sickest Nation In The "High-Income" World

Might be you any day now.

Where's the outrage? Wut if it wuz dirty Ay-rab Muslim terrists named Muhammad doin' all th' shootin'? Would that outrage the two-faced shits? Why are they perfectly fine w/ daily acts of terror? It's O.K. because it's Yankees exercising their Second Amendment rights on each other?

Three Shootings in America

A week of our entirely-ordinary *extraordinary* violence

The shooting is another reminder of how right-wing and white nationalist violence remains the biggest threat to the United States domestically. And yet the FBI and the federal government have all but given up investigating it, and the President is in fact one of the nation’s leading spreaders of hate speech and extremist rhetoric, including just this week mocking the Arab-American candidate for Senate in Michigan and the politically motivated targeting of Rep. Ilhan Omar. Indeed, racist targeting of South Asians — like those at the Aurora temple — appears increasingly to be a central political strategy of the GOP.

“The threat of such violence shows how dangerous anti-Indian hatred and white supremacy have become, and we cannot wait until innocent people are killed to take these threats seriously,” Krishnamoorthi said last week in a statement.

We do not talk enough about how central the threat (and reality) of political violence is to the Trump movement and to the paralysis that so many GOP figures feel when they attempt to speak out or act against President Trump and the MAGA movement. We are “both-sides”-ing a threat where one side is a gasoline-fueled mass arsonist by pretending that the other side also plays with matches.

[...]

We suffer a rate of gun homicides that, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, “is 26 times that of other high-income countries.”

There are more gun deaths in the US on a single day than there are in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Japan in a year combined.

Our weekly total is roughly equal to the annual total of gun deaths of France, Canada, or Germany.

SICK, SICK, SICK!!

Students Join Albanian "Riots"

Same "Riots", Different Day

Another bang-up job bringing peace, Kushner. I wonder what the odds or "percentages" are on how long the current gummint will last.

Sunday Swiffery

Bunkerkeeping

Got tired of cleaning the filthy tile & linoleum floors in the bunker by spraying cleanser on the floor & wiping it w/ a paper towel underfoot, so I charged a Swiffer.

Works pretty well, sprays a fur piece (powered by two AA batteries) & w/ a little elbow grease did a better job than the previous method.

Probably take a powerwasher w/ bleach to really clean.

Of course now I'm in thrall to P&G for Swiffer solution & pads for eternity.

More War

It never stops, does it? Or, "That blowed up real good."Good job by Trump setting this in motion; be nice if the Houthis could depose Lumpy's friend Crown Prince Bone Saw & the rest of the Saud family. PROTIP: Start w/ the oil fields.

Fascist Flic Violence

AFP:

A protester's hand was blown off by a police crowd-control grenade on Saturday as the nationwide demonstrations against the higher cost of living and school conditions turned violent. According to France’s biggest trade union, the CGT, some 800,000 people are taking part in the protests. Follow our liveblog for the latest updates.

Plenty of good stuff from the froggies. They're tearing it up!

Associated Press:

Protests erupt across France against rising living costs and in support of students  —  Cars were set on fire and shops were looted in Paris on Saturday as police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent protesters who joined nationwide demonstrations against rising living costs …

Estimado(s) inquilino(s),

Usted está recibiendo este aviso porque habrá una interrupción temporal del agua programado para todas las unidades este viernes, 16 de octubre entre las 10:00AM y 2:00PM para hacer una reparacion en el edificio.

Nos disculpamos por las molestias que esto le puede causar y le agradecemos por su paciencia.

Gracias por su cooperacion.

All because of the dripping faucet in my bunker that's been leaking since at least 2023. (Cheap slumlord bastard!) And the only reason the cheap prick is doing this is because Bldg. & Safety (in their first inspection in six yrs.!) wrote them up for it, in January!! Other incompetence: Lying assholes first claimed they'd be here 1 Oct. Didn't show, didn't call. 16 days later ...

No Joy In Mudville

Perhaps not the wisest bobblehead?

Swept? A fucking sweep? Not seven games of hard-fought ball? Well, just like this reporter, they are old & tired. Maybe a bit o' hubris involved as well, talking "three-peat" so much.

OOOOOH. Maybe the Dodgers shouldn’t have visited the White House LOLOL. Here’s me celebrating.

I hope the Guardians beat the Devil Rays & provide an all-Midwest series that no one will care about except the residents of Wisconsin & half of Ohio, & Fox Sports loses big.

Perhaps this abomination will be balanced by a Democratic sweep next month.

La Nouvelle Deux Chevaux

Citroën hasn't made one since its 42-yr. run ended in 1990. This new model is electric & perhaps £12,000, or €15,000.

Not until 2028, however.The original model, little changed over its existence.

America's Funniest Painter

Might be worth a Netflix subscription. $8.99, cancel anytime. "... Our most affordable, ad-supported plan". Even if one cancels immediately after watching, do the greedy bastards keep one's initial $8.99? Is there enough for a month's watching? Nope, looks like 14 yrs. of crap in which I've no interest.

More Scenes From The Protests

Officers in riot gear clashed with youths who set up street barricades using burning trash bins in Albania's capital Wednesday, with demonstrators joining a broader anti-government campaign for a second day, opposed to a development project linked to "U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner." (AP video shot by Erijon Xhabafti)

Albania: The masses hate the gummint & the opposition, & the prime minister has nothing to offer. Sound familiar, other than our non-leader spends two hrs. at rallies blabbering to show he has nothing?

Anarchy In Albania?

Alice Taylor / Politico:

Albania's capital burns as protests escalate  —  Police have been criticized for alleged use of excessive force against protestors and journalists.  —  TIRANA — Student demonstrations in Tirana spiraled out of control Wednesday as protesters clashed with police for over 10 hours …

More Radical Leftist Violence

holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy" https://t.co/DI1TG2uGBH
