This little vignette reminds us all that even tho there had already been 4 (5 inc Lazenby) Bond actors and 20 films...he apparently *wasn't* a '00' until the start of the Craig arc.
Soooo....the Amazon writers just aren't up to the task.

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

Weird. Cause the ESPN app that I use to manage my fantasy football team puts a tab that links to prop bets front and center on both the landing page and my team management page.
The NFL issued a memo Thursday about prop bets following indictments of current and former NBA and MLB personnel.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

I have a couple of prints left of just his face that I haven't used yet because I'm saving them for "the day." But you can get these now, and in time for the holidays. Support your local artists

Sucks for Adidas that they invested so much in the Italy kit. Maybe Kappa can pick up the scraps....
Norway's locker room was electric after they all but qualified for the World Cup 🇳🇴
Erling Haaland and friends only need to avoid a nine-goal defeat in Italy and they're in, ending a 26-year tournament drought 😅

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

INSIDE WASHINGTON: Schumer's biggest failure wasn't the cave-in. It was failing to manage expectations of his voters. And his belief that he could somehow force Trump to the negotiating table when Trump never showed any sign he would.

Getting played by Republicans is nothing new for Schumer — Now Democrats want him out
New York-native minority leader’s inability to manage expectations or secure votes from Republicans has left him looking impotent and adrift at a time when Democratic voters want their leaders itching...

The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.

Fuck off. You blew a proverbial 28-3 halftime lead. ALL of you.
The only way forward now is recalls and primaries.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Do any states with Dem Senators, especially those sacrificial 8, have a recall option?

In stereotypical fashion, the Dems gambled by leveraging 8 safe seats to screw their constituents... almost certainly miscalculating that those others up for election next year will STILL be punished.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Absolutely this. We may be underestimating a bigger picture....
I absolutely don't want Senate Dems to cave, but some key things:
1. If they do, this gets kicked back over to the House, which has to vote on it again since it would differ from their own version...which I think only runs thru 11/21?
2. That presumably means having to swear in Grjalva.
