    I'm not sure MPG even believes he can get Trump reinstated anymore.  I think he keeps pulling this shit because he's addicted to the attention.  Also, these appearances help keep him in the good graces with MAGA's who buy his crappy, foreign pillows.

    I've read stories sprinkled with quotes from his friends, who are too polite to say "bug fucking batshit crazy" but it's clear from context he's gone around the bend. Dude really believes this shit, but if you sat him down and played reruns of George Noory, he would believe things that are even more disconnected from the universe the rest of us live in.

    The Midwest is truly a hell scape of nativist idiocy now. 

    Take comfort in the fact that the Ogallala aquifer is about to dry up, and when it does, it will also be a hellscape of drought, lost topsoils, famine, blistering heat, disease, migration induced poverty, and lack of access to basic services.

    This guy lives in Connecticut. 

    I s'pose I should have been clearer. 1488 is a widespread slogan. I was just pondering all the things other than email addresses and Twitter handles that make use of it. I could easily picture rural Michigan, for example, being home to the 1488 Saloon and Gun Range.

    I feel like there is more to the story. Did she move her lover in while he was in the hospital dying? Was he an abusive spouse in some way? I can't even imagine clearing out my wife's stuff while she is still in the ICU. Except for the cats. They might be gone pretty quick. 

    Trust me, with that couple, there was never any more to the story. Even for Stephenville, they are boring as fuck. No, the women from that side of the family are all just OCD as hell.

  5. Kinda interesting extended family story I only found out about today. Wife's family are your prototypical West Texas nutjobs. Anti-vaxx churches, gun collections that strain even an orthodontist's budget, the whole conspiracy-addled nine yards.

    This past summer, one of my wife's aunts died of covid -- no real surprise there. We did not attend the funeral, because it was going to be a church full of unvaxxed and unmasked. We did watch a YouTube feed, and sure enough, shoulder to shoulder and as unhygienic as a septic tank.

    We figured news would trickle out of numerous cases from this superspreader event par excellance, and sure enough we heard of a few more deaths.

    We didn't hear, though, until today of the saga of one of my wife's older aunts and her husband. Both came up positive, both ended up in the hospital.

    She got out after a few weeks, but her husband got put on the ventilator, and after a couple of weeks there, the doctor told the aunt her husband wasn't going to make it.

    She bagged up all his clothes, gave away all his guns, threw out a lot of his memorabilia, and started getting ready for his funeral.

    A week later, he made a miraculous turnaround, and got off the vent.

    Another week, and he was sent home, permanently in a wheelchair, permanently on oxygen.

    And without any stuff.
