Gold bars were found, concealed into the lining of his suits — really?!

Let everyone know when you find a defense of Menendez in his current legal difficulties by a poster on MOL, or a local Democratic politician, or a NJ Democratic politician, or a national Democratic politician.

got the QB with the hints today. Did not need the Buddy however.

I was a huge fan of Lenny Bruce. The freedom to use language without censorship was a big part of his point of view which I agree with. 

I saw a quote attributed to him, "Take away the right to say f---, and you take away the right to say f--- the government.

To me it has always been about freedom as a female. I'm just as put out be religions that require a dress code for women and most all do.

It's a favorite word of mine, but my mother would have completely agreed with you and would consider it unrefined. In her company or that of my conservative friends, I would give up a bit of my freedom. And if I were in your company, I would be willing to apply restraint. 

I'm sure that if you wore a shirt that said "f--- Joe Biden," she'd be willing to let it slide.

@db…Sounds like a beautiful love story with a happy ending. 

Whatever path my daughters follow in life is fine with me.  What I don't really need to hear is a very well-paid man having no special qualifications beyond the ability to kick a ball preach to women about the path they should following in their lives.

Question I have is why another Democratic alternative cannot be considered, albeit the November election is looming. Is it really all about Kamala Harris and the prospect of her stepping into —(two scenarios come to mind) —%the role as our  first female president? Her poll numbers have been so consistently poor, she could never win an election on her own merits.

Do you even care?

I think most rational people are wondering why we can't do better than the two fossils we have now, but it seems that it is what it is.

Early QB today.

Missed ganglia and ligated yesterday.

I rarely post videos, but this is one of my favorite VP Harris moments. She may not come across as warm and fuzzy but I'm not personally looking for that in someone who could possibly move into the Presidency. She had my interest in the Democratic Primaries and was one of my picks.

Since when is "taunting the cops" a crime?  I think that falls pretty squarely under "freedom of speech".

I worded that poorly. I was thinking of the hurled bottles and physical engagement. But if you are told to vacate the area and you do not, taunting the cops or not, you will get arrested. I got arrested for politely refusing to leave Cornell voluntarily. It was explained to me that I would be arrested, and I went peacefully. Why would I taunt the police? They weren't torturing and killing the cats. And in this case, they aren't engaged in the war in Gaza.

Just my point of view that if you care deeply about your cause, you don't want to alienate the public.
