I truly don’t know what my reaction would be if someone I knew told me they were voting for RFK. 

My nephew told me and Mrs.LL he was voting for RFK Jr. when we saw him over Thanksgiving.  Probably ought to circle back with him on that given that he's in a swing-ish state (Virginia).

I mean, good? The crazier and weirder they get, the likelihood we actually get an amendment to limit guns.

At this point that's pretty much the only hope.

ActBlue says Dems raised more than $100 million during the convention—$7.2 million during the single hour of Harris’s acceptance speech and just after (11 p.m. to midnight ET). (via Sam Stein, MSNBC). 

(Just counts small donors -- $250 and under -- through the ActBlue platform.)

I'm not brave enough for a "show up and you eat whatever it is we're making" kind of place.

Your reaction would be like mine finding out, and not being surprised, that my sister is voting for him: she’s lost her damned mind.

I am actually convinced anyone who is voting for Trump or supports the ticket is just an unserious person in every regard.

Most people not his site cannot possibly understand the hilarity/irony of this post. if any of you knew 4th&Five personally, you would laugh so hard at this. I genuinely have never anyone who just naturally attracts as many bizarre ass people and divergent/outlier behavior from people more than this fucking guy. If you hang out with him for 30 minutes in public, I guarantee you will see shit from other people that you only thought happened in staged social media videos. The guy is a walking, talking RFK-voter-magnet.


I was lifelong friends with attorney Scott Ogle before he passed away a few months ago. He was the same way. I could write books about the crazy stuff that happened to him or around him.  It was lifelong with him. I first noticed it in fourth grade. There's a monkey lose in an office building in Corpus? I knew immediately somehow Scott was involved.  There's a camel trespassing on Gary Clark Jr.'s property? I knew my boy was involved.  Somebody started an escort service from his condo in West Campus and somehow managed to put together a roster of the most stunning co-eds you've ever seen, all of whom he slept with at some point? Somebody convinced the folks at Spec's Buy and Fly to sell weed, which he could order to be delivered via his phone?

I see a tweet from Stein on the first part. Are you sure about the 250 and under? One reason I ask is that I would expect a bunch of “double-max” donors yesterday.
There is a max donation for the primary and for the general. As soon as Harris accepted the nomination, her general started and a bunch of “double max” donors could finish out their pledge. But those donations are $3300 each phase now.

I've only eaten there one time, but by the time I left I had turned into Randy Taylor when they downsized the Jimmy Dean sausage.

Or a raging, insecure, non-thinking, misogynistic, racist, asshole.

Timothy Melon’s an odd dude.

A Pedigreed Rail Magnate Is Pouring Millions Into Electing Donald Trump

Timothy Mellon, a reclusive heir to a storied fortune, is spending tens of millions to elect Donald J. Trump. Precisely what he wants in return is one of many curiosities surrounding him.

4th&five is not usually the instigator...shit just happens to him. He is more like if you are going to a concert with him, it is guaranteed that the guy that we end up standing next to likely snuck in his cat and his own guitar and is going to try to play along every song himself in the middle of the crowd while on drunk and on heroin. or if you ever get on a flight and the person in the row in front of you is a guy that puts on an S&M mask reciting some anti-vax screed while they have a banana stuck in their rectum, the person behind you is having a seizure from doing too much cocaine in the plane bathroom, and the person across the aisle has their headphones on but is singing Gimme dat Nut or Blowjob Betty along loud enough for the whole plane to hear while coincidentally finding out in flight that she had previously fucked the three different mormon guys in the row behind her and has a kid with one of them that they don't know about and then they get into a fight where a bunch of racist shit is screamed, i guarantee you that you are sitting next to 4th&five who is just sitting there quietly reading a book with earbuds in. i cannot tell you how many football games i have been to with him when people around us that have nothing to do with us either nearly die at the game or are arrested. whenever i see a "florida man" story, i always try to recall if i have witnessed the fact pattern while in his presence. the bizarre part of it is that he is a completely chill and unassuming guy.

Source was Josh Friedman, a journalist on bsky but I don't see it covered elsewhere.

The same Timothy Mellon who had this to say in his late 40s

Quote

Something had obviously gone dreadfully wrong with the Great Society and the Liberal onslaught. Poor people had become no less poor. Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the "Establishment" to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations.... Drugs rose to the level of epidemic. Single parent families became more and more prevalent. The likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton pandered endlessly to fan the flames

and just a quick editorial but the 180 we're seeing here is breathtaking. I guess the Dems finally got tired of being punched and called weak and are finally punching back. The gloves are off and I don't see us going back. She said it herself. All the old tropes are gone. This is a new era and I'm 100% here for it
