Clear out, Franken. Move over, Weinstein.

And Matt, you look ridiculous in those headlights Today.

Here's Matt Lauer talking to Bill O'Groper.

Spin this, doc.

I thought readily available porn was supposed to keep this crap from happening.
--Master Johnson

What cracks me up about O'Groper's interview is that he (a well-known manipulator of numbers and facts to jive with his views) has the GALL to speak of CREDIBILITY!!!

Please, no Powder Milk Biscuits -- I can't eat them anymore.

I think I may go into mourning, in fact.

This country has some really tight as#@&%es running the place from board rooms --
places where the dollar is king and where causing loss of revenue or potential revenue is a grievous sin.

I have to be on my way out before dark shadows form or the stumble out is horrendous.

By their actions the corporate/government leadership in Congress and the White House are oblivious to the very real and age old concept that the price of being ‘right’ all the time is too high of a price to pay; pushing the stalemate envelope with North Korea by parroting the rogue state’s insane dialect, Congress and Trump having no conscience about sanctioning the wealthy while having no fear of the consequences of continuing to lie to the American public, and failing to acknowledge the power of the ongoing and exponentially expanding women’s revolution against the sexually abusive, racist, and pedophile ensconced good ol’ boys club of America which angrily clutches to the reins of power.

Very nice set of shots, Gnome. Glad you're OK.


Bushman, these political potentates and board room bandits really need to start watching their asses, one would think. They are angering too many people with their high-falutin' ways and inane governmental policies and witch-hunts.

The Jeffersonian 200-year revolutionary cycle thing, see. He may have been a few decades off in his estimate. But it was only an estimate.

Kafkaesque

They say "You get more flies with honey," but if you pull off their wings they have to eat anything you give them.

I have this theory that our elected president is akin to a serial killer and we are his victims;
or maybe he is simply like a little kid pulling the wings and legs and antennae off of the body politic.

RED AND BLACK

Why didn't I realize?
Why didn't It dawn on me?

The colors of the sea 'round here,
The Colors of Roman Cathartics ,
Red 'n Black ya'see?

Ive now become folded in
One more in the fold

That portfolio is stellar
To bad your kids are doomed

There's waiting at the corner for the bus to come
Then there is Waiting; watching the avalanche,

as there is no where to run

maggot in chief

Creepy little maggot
Crawling in and out
Way over in Washington
Makes me want to shout
Never was my president
Never will he be
With his warped sense of reality
And changing history

Creepy little maggot
Small and insecure
Will never be my president
Never was for sure
We’ll be lucky if we all survive
His last and final cure

And so that it is not lost on those with a plank in their eye
I know that they are your special peeps, A eunuch, spouting fake broken English, and Adam Burch, . . a sociopath . . .
So, you are Still allowing a slanderous bad actor & an insulting,
-fake person-
who insults any non- English as their 1st language person ,
so that some great climbers will never post. .

.Sure I see it gets you clicks
That is clearly the goal

. I have been climbing - opening up road side crags for 40+ years.
I do not,, as a rule, care who claims what - and I was there 1st anyway

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/11/30/1719888/-I-m-Spitting-Furious-Fire

I just want to make sure I have this straight.

Under less than one year of GOP leadership:
•Public education in this country is being destroyed
•Higher education is being destroyed
•Our Judiciary is being destroyed
•Our State Department is being destroyed
•The EPA is being destroyed
•Blue states are being specifically targeted for political retribution
•The social safety net is being ripped to shreds
•Millions of American citizens in Puerto Rico are living in Stone Age conditions
•Our closest allies are being antagonized
•Dictatorships are becoming our new best friends
•Honest to goodness f*#king Nazis have the President’s ear
•Our very democracy has been handed over to a hostile foreign power

And now the party of “fiscal responsibility” is about to turn the entire nation into Kansas and add TRILLIONS to the national debt.

WHILE MARCHING US TO WAR WITH NORTH KOREA.

Who is going to pay for that war?

Who is going to fight that war? Our volunteer forces certainly don’t have the capacity.

I am so furious I can barely see straight.

I am also scared witless. Of my own government. In f*#king America.

Anybody who ever has the nerve to utter ‘both parties are the same’ again is dumber than the dumbest dirt.

Skittering STones

Slung with skill,
slick flat river rocks can kill
--just ask Golitath.
He won't dispute this, guaranteed.

In shallow leaps,
one-after-another
and leaving ripples
in a parabolic path,
a lith lain dormant for centuries
now seems like it is walking on water.

Banished to the deeps
of the river,
it has been there before
and will rise again someday
on a beach further on down
this river of no return.

And some day yet more distant
it will, like its cousins
on Mickey's Beach,
Waikiki, and North,
or its long-long-long-lost shirt-tail relation in Carpinteria
--the world's safest beach--
it will come to my hand once again
and maybe I will decide to take it home,
not throw it out to sea,
and put it in a jar with others like it.

Shelf-life expectancy:
up to one hundred million years
without refrigeration.
--Young Davy, a right-handed tosser*

* A very adept switch-slinger, though. A "TOUGH OUT" as they say.
