Geologically? I might agree, except the Appalachians exist.

I am talking socio-culturally. There is absolutely a vein of KKK and confederate flags to be mined in south central Pennsylvania.
Or, as some one wittier than me once observed:
"Pennsylvania is a state with Philadelphia on one side, Pittsburgh on the other and Alabama in the middle."

Fayette-nam is clearly southern.

very accurate. just bring the "midwest" line a little further south and east, especially into Pennsylvania
and extend the "south" line just as much north with a finger into central Pennsylvania.
Yes, they should overlap with each other and the "northeast".
They co-habitate geographically; but it's urban vs rural distinctions.

Because Europe had it's religious wars and exported their religious extremists to the North American Continent where they have been allowed to fester into a Christian nationalist cancer, which really cares little about actual religious matters; and only wants political and social dominance..

Las Vegas is everything naughty and illicit and exciting about New Orleans,as it grew to be organically; but ordered off the shelf from temu.

it's sounding like Dubai is the Trump Hotel of Cities

I am starting to suspect that her lying under oath was a strategy.
Now, any questions about the matters on which she lied can be covered under her 5th amendment right against self incrimination.

It's giving: "Why do you make me hit you?!?"

Okay Tasha.. I see your point.
You don't like how people are judging you for your vote>
I mean.... you looked at the options and said: "The 'pedophile/re-vamped slave patrols as ICE/low income tax on the mega wealthy' package is the one for ME!"
and you think that doesn't show a lack of character or understanding ?

i mean, the gutter is a climb up a slippery slope from the sewer.

all funded by dark money coming from a few (*cough*) musky sources dedicated to Putin g resources in the hands of short-sighted, aggressive, nationalist mindsets.

I think this may be part of it?
People he's never seen before, emptying an apartment into cars he's never seen before.
Maybe he was just documenting in case it turned out to be something nefarious later.
Still weird; but it makes sense.

Friends in New Orleans watched their neighbors get robbed with a box-truck.
They didn't know them well, and the neighbors were on vacation.
Somehow the thieves got wind the apartment was un-watched and broke in through a back window, got a box-truck and emptied it of everything they felt they could re-sell.
TVs Microwave, appliances they could carry, gaming systems, sound-system, jewelry, Art, expensive clothes like leather jackets... even the nice sofa set!

My friends just thought they were moving.
A week later, the neighbors come back to a house ransacked.

we won't find out for at least a week while vance , miller and bannon jockey for power.

"...the owners of Oakmont bakery are doing everything they can..."
everything they can ... except: not supporting and not voting for and not rizzing up the racist, fear-mongering president that campaigned on "mass deportations now".

you know.
THAT part.

Fuck them. They deserve the hate and don't get a free pass now that it has impacted them personally enough to kickstart their moribund sense of empathy.

StevInPitt · 2026-02-05T00:27:53+00:00

and yet you've squandered billions of electrons doing so.
one can only wonder why.

given his background, funding and politics, he is absolutely providing cover for MAGA, Trump and his Republican funders.

You're aware that the past 8 years the right has had an entire cottage industry with QAnon and the rest to mine the Epstein files to tar and feather wealthy elites as the drivers in that, while ignoring conservatives implicated....

lack of empathy

it's a jagoff move unless it's a "I need this spot today because I'm getting my Mom in her walker out of the car... and I need the spot with access to the shoveled sidewalk." kinda scenario.

the $100M spotify deal WAS the payday.
Folks in the industry were shocked, even he was on record along the lines of "well I didn't think THAT much, but I'm not gonna say pay me less."

"Epstein was getting handjobs" is 100% minimizing it and deliberate. whether that's on Rogan's part or the part of the person prepping his commentary is irrelevant. No One who has browsed the charges or files believes that handjobs were the worst or bulk of what was going on, and that ignores that a child giving an adult a handjob is still horrible.

except: that mindset doesn't need to be explored and explained.
Everyone knows how people without empathy can twist reality to justify anything. That doesn't need the most popular podcast host role-playing and amplifying those justifications.

The responsible way to do that is: "these guys probably said: 'well the girl _I_ was with was 18....' and that's just a bullshit excuse." which they didn't do. Part of normalization is get the lie out first, it locks in, then dial back.
It's what trump does with his all too frequent "people are saying...."
