“…sounding less like the leader of the free world and more like a guy at Cracker Barrel describing how his wife ran off with his best friend and his Camaro in 1997.” 🤣🤣🤣
You crack me up and keep me informed and I love you.
That was brought crystal clear as I watched the “news” describing an explosion that happened in a home a few miles from me 2 days ago. The so serious, polished pretty guy was narrating the text and it SO made me realize how lucky I am that I gave up “the news” so many years ago.
Darn it! Nobody mentioned that I could remain sitting on my couch and run for office without having to drive around to all these conventions giving speeches! Where is that "easy button"?
Exactly. Years ago a neighborhood eyesore became too much for me. I approached my city councilman, spoke my case before the entire council and learned patience. The media naturally had to check it out and interview me. What I spoke directly into the camera and what appeared on the news and in print “somehow” was considerably distorted. Never believed the media since.
6 years and still off. Husband(with a very high measured IQ) thinks Yahoo News is not the MSM. I told him to notice where the “news” they compile comes from. 😉 BTW. He came in yesterday and thought “TDS” was funny. First time he’d heard that. OMG.
No doubt Yahoo manages to report a few things okay, every media outlet does.
In my opinion, the key is to get input from multiple different views and then *think* about what you were just told. Does it make sense? What's the chance that it's propaganda?
Also anything that smears another public figure with anything "sexual" I flat out just ignore. That's the oldest and easiest attack made and usually if it's not completely false then it's at least misconstrued (or none of our business).
Yes, it’s a perfect metaphor. I also loved the one that shows all the weirdos parading down the street, captioned “These are the people who think Donald Trump is… ‘Unstable’ “
My favourite pastime is watching TDS morons heads explode! It's predictable, consistent, and mind blowing. I used to actually like some of these people which is the mind blowing part of the equation. I worked with a lot of these TDS morons. Wow, just wow!
While we’re talking about things spewing, I’m still trying to get over yesterday’s mental image of LBJ walking around the White House with his trouser snake out, and George Costanza is in my head screaming “You need a new Johnson rod!”
What's that they "explained" ("SHUT UP!" Jenna explained...) back before Trump 1.0 when he was supposed to lose: "Trump supporters take him seriously, but not literally. His opponents [oh, let's just call them 'enemies'] take him literally, but not seriously."
To a Trump backer, his use of "explosion" meant the devastating destruction of the current oil-production status quo in Iran, highlighting again for anyone paying attention, the importance of understanding the difference between "precision" and "accuracy." ["9.1415926" is a highly precise depiction of the number, pi, but "about 3" while very imprecise is a LOT more useful because of being more accurate.] Leave it to the enemies to quibble about the word choice while ignoring the reality in front of them.
AND it still scorches my shorts that These Quislings are the Same ones who gave us 24x7 "explanations" of "what Joe meant" by his nonsensical jibber-jabber. Pick on Trump for a SPECIFIC word choice but presume that Joe Biden's OUTRIGHT and DAMNABLE LIES were no-big-deal.
"Explosion," dear dinosauric media, refers to what's happening to your business model--as you scribble away. You've been warned, but you keep looking for "smoke" and listening for "sounds" and you're missing it completely. #cantfixstupid
Curt, I was trying to make the point that presenting pi as "9.1415926" (because it happens to share the first seven decimal places) is certainly precise, but also, horribly, inaccurate/plain-wrong. People who only care about "precision" may be more easily bamboozled, by such statements as "97.3463% of all statistics are completely made up on the spot."
In 1897, the Indiana House of Representatives unanimously passed House Bill 246 (also known as the Indiana Pi Bill).
This notorious bill attempted to legally set the value of π (pi) to 3.2 (among other incorrect mathematical claims) by adopting the crank "proofs" of physician Edward J. Goodwin. The bill passed the House 67–0 on February 6, 1897, but was killed in the Senate after a Purdue University mathematics professor intervened and explained the absurdity to senators.
Note: U-NAN-IMOUS... This should give us all pause; instead of a doing a little happy dance that today is "soooo NOT-1897" we need to remember the NEAR-unanimity of "the scientific and medical community", of vaccine pushers, reminding us that--like precision and accuracy--what is "obvious" is not necessarily "true" and vice versa.
Oblig. notice of conflict of interest: I was born in Indiana, but--as the saying down there goes--"I got to Texas jes' as quick as I c'ud!"
Incidentally, I was going to replace that "n" up there in the answer with "the real 𝜋 character", but when I went to ask AS for one, come to find out, that's not an "n" at all: "π" is the UPPER-CASE form of "𝜋". #whodathunkit
Im getting memories of that Simpsons episode where Professor Frink silenced a roomful of babbling praising scientists by shouting out "PI IS EXACTLY 3!" and the whole room freezes.
Jenna you are a national treasure. “You never recover fully,” POTUS warned ominously at one point, sounding less like the leader of the free world and more like a guy at Cracker Barrel describing how his wife ran off with his best friend and his Camaro in 1997." That's a line that just keeps giving. Laugh out loud every time I re-read it. Thank you.
This is where we shout to the MSM - “He’s not talking to you! He’s talking to US!” So shut up and get back in your hole, nobody is paying attention to you anyways. (Do they really not know how stupid EVERYBODY who employs any common sense regards their prattling?! No clue? Really?!)
During the 2016 Trump term someone described Trump as a typical NYC businessman, shrewd, smart and loudmouthed. The problem is that people who don't understand that take him literally, but not seriously, and that's a mistake. It's always stuck with me.
...and the bleach suggestion taken out of context during COVID to make Trump look "stupid" has been shown to be correct. Midwestern Dr has posted chlorine dioxide has been shown anecdotally to have some very decent anti-viral/bacterial effects given to pets and has implied success with humans just as ivermectin did. Trump is extraordinarily well and broadly informed.
More than just taken out of context, I recall a lot of handwriting that he literally ordered the citizens of this country to inject bleach into themselves to protect them from covid and it was killing people. When he 1) did not tell the American citizens to do anything, he was referencing some medical theories and 2) he never once said the word bleach, which they reported he did verbatim so often my mother told me on the occasions she had seen and heard him say it with her own eyes and ears and there was nothing I could do to make her disbelieve that evidence and she fears for v my mind that I refuse to accept reality (now she insists she always knew he never said bleach and never told anyone to do anything and she never said or thought otherwise and neither did the MSM, us Trump lives are just making that up to make them look stupid, which is why i do not wish to discuss anything political or esp Trump related with her ever again. I live her so much, but i can't take the fights and I can't take the gaslight in particular).
Sad but true. Many think they are evaluating situations correctly but are relying instead on their feelings generated by hyped presentations they come into contact with, not the logic of critical thinking. The best you can do is what you are doing. Keep your insights to yourself rather than try to explain so that they can see also. We fall into these situations because they are loved family members. All was fine till COVID suddenly separated the thinking from the feeling people. There is no unseeing what you have come to perceive. It isolates you, but you in fact are seeing the truth of the matter and be glad for that.
Im just eternally grateful that she didn't buy into covid, or at least not to the point where she took a jab or cut anyone off over it. Bad opinions based on cartoon media depictions of Trump are one thing, but taking a dangerous pharmaceutical is another. She didn't get the shots and I'm happy every day for that.
I know rigs die one way or another if they’re shut off like you’d turn off a vacuum switch. I know they can’t continue HOOVERING up oil if you turn off the vacuum. I know they’re out of places to store oil and are 20 million in the red on account of that. My
suggestion is, store it in the bathtubs and toilet tanks of the 60,000 citizens they murdered right before this war.
Callus sounding, I know… Bit it’s all I can come up with.
Also, injecting Clorox would’ve been less lethal and possibly
more effective than injecting mRNA “vaccines”. At
least Clorox eventually dissipates and doesn’t cause continuous folding prions and worse.
Orange Man Bad means he can't do anything right, including speak. Right after he was elected one of the news outlets asked a professor of communications at NYU I think it was, about his communication style and the professor was pretty derogatory comparing his style to that of a 5th grader in terms of vocabulary and sentence structure but then he added something along the lines of *but you didn't ask me if he was effective and if you did I would have to say he is extremely effective at messaging.*
We've all said / seen that you can't hate MSM enough. Sometimes though, I wonder where that resentment lies with my local news MSM affiliates. Do the locals know they are "affiliated" with socialists that love to lie? Do they enjoy earning a living at the expense of their country? If I were employed at the local Nothing But Communism (NBC) news affiliate (or Communist B.S. CBS, or Always Blathering Communism ABC), I don't think I could continue working there. I try to love my neighbors ...
It is true that shutting in oil wells, can damage the wells and they may never get back to full production when turned back on.
But damaging middle eastern oil wells is not a good thing, it is causing hardship around the world and higher prices here in the US. Where Trump is wrong about oil, is that we need to import oil to keep our economy going. We use more oil than we extract and what we extract can't be all used in the US as it is too light, so we've been exporting some of the light stuff while importing even more of the heavy oil than what we export of the light oil. Since the war started we've been exporting oil from storage, not a smart move, we can only continue to do that for another month or so before we run out of stored oil. Expect things to get worse when that happens.
Trump says a lot of things so the fact that they are reporting on this one specific thing that Trump says might be important. Or maybe not because they just reported about how he curses too much lol.
Saddam only ordered the blowing up of oil wells IN KUWAIT (some 600-700 of them), as his forces ran away. And I like to think that, if he were here now, he'd say that "blowing up oil wells in your own d*mn country would be bat-sh*t crazy! even for me!!"
“…sounding less like the leader of the free world and more like a guy at Cracker Barrel describing how his wife ran off with his best friend and his Camaro in 1997.” 🤣🤣🤣
You crack me up and keep me informed and I love you.
Bad ass as always. 🤬🍑🥰
So fun to see you last night! Brownstone for the win! 🩷🤩
That really was a good one! 😄
😘
So... once again... don't watch or read or listen to the "news". 😇
That was brought crystal clear as I watched the “news” describing an explosion that happened in a home a few miles from me 2 days ago. The so serious, polished pretty guy was narrating the text and it SO made me realize how lucky I am that I gave up “the news” so many years ago.
My first real lesson in the distortion of news was when I ran for US Congress in 1992 and would read the news reporting about me. {laugh} Good humor!
Wow. John. "Thank you for your service." So few, so rare few, get up off the couch and say, "Well, I'll try."
Darn it! Nobody mentioned that I could remain sitting on my couch and run for office without having to drive around to all these conventions giving speeches! Where is that "easy button"?
Don’t you remember FJB hiding in his basement or NObummer’s running the country in his sweats on the couch after leaving office?
🤣

Yes, first hand experience is a great way to convince you to never believe media again!
My phone lets me know if there is a tornado nearby. That’s about all the “news” I need to know this summer locally.
Perhaps we're neighbors?? Do you live in L? I live in K...
Amen
6 years and still off. Husband(with a very high measured IQ) thinks Yahoo News is not the MSM. I told him to notice where the “news” they compile comes from. 😉 BTW. He came in yesterday and thought “TDS” was funny. First time he’d heard that. OMG.

Trump says things to make the Fake Media explode. The Fake Media then makes TDS sufferers heads explode. Trump likes to blow up Fake things.
Best meme in article was the kid playing the trumpet (Trump) aimed at the head of a girl (The entire world every day) 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, it’s a perfect metaphor. I also loved the one that shows all the weirdos parading down the street, captioned “These are the people who think Donald Trump is… ‘Unstable’ “
I saved both of them to send to my sister.
My favourite pastime is watching TDS morons heads explode! It's predictable, consistent, and mind blowing. I used to actually like some of these people which is the mind blowing part of the equation. I worked with a lot of these TDS morons. Wow, just wow!
While we’re talking about things spewing, I’m still trying to get over yesterday’s mental image of LBJ walking around the White House with his trouser snake out, and George Costanza is in my head screaming “You need a new Johnson rod!”
Hahahaha! LingOL!
Might be urban myth, but I have heard/ read the phrase 'look at my johnson' came about because of LBJ doing that.
I’m highly conflicted about “liking” that comment, but it is interesting nonetheless. 👍🏻🤣
😂
Trump gonna Trump.

"Explosion," dear dinosauric media, refers to what's happening to your business model--as you scribble away. You've been warned, but you keep looking for "smoke" and listening for "sounds" and you're missing it completely. #cantfixstupid
Is that your final answer? ["9.1415926" is a highly precise depiction of the number, pi,
I suspect that rounding it to 3 would be a little closer... 🤔
As a Carpenter I often round it to 3 when working rough calculations in my head.
Curt, I was trying to make the point that presenting pi as "9.1415926" (because it happens to share the first seven decimal places) is certainly precise, but also, horribly, inaccurate/plain-wrong. People who only care about "precision" may be more easily bamboozled, by such statements as "97.3463% of all statistics are completely made up on the spot."
I see. 🙂 I missed that. 🫤
That's on me. It could have been clearer. I was carried away by my too clever self again.
Lol. Right there with you at times!
"Literally vs seriously." 🎯
That being said, your number for pi may be a little off.... 😉
Very nice mathematical reference!
I heard in my youth that a state legislator who found the extra digits bothersome filed a bill to make @pi exactly 3. Some things don’t change.
Ugh. But math is racist anyway...

It is all Greek to me….
Όλα αυτά είναι ελληνικά για μένα...
Óla aftá eínai elliniká gia ména...
Oh, "It's all Greek to me." In Greek. Clever. I looked in my prize drawer and I have nothing suitable. "Καλύτερη τύχη την επόμενη φορά."
You sound like my lottery ticket salesman.

The commodity exchange and wall street set the prices..I'm not sure if OPEC is still the controller as it was in the past
Below $4/ gal for gas here is my neck of the USA. Had to edit- below $4/ gal.
Trump says a lot of things so the fact that they are reporting on this one specific thing that Trump says might be important. Or maybe not because they just reported about how he curses too much lol.
Conversations outside of what the mainstream media is reporting are much more interesting and relevant. The most recent VSRF episode was great! https://rumble.com/v7a8ngy-vsrf-live-229-manufacturing-a-poly-virus-panic.html
I’m actually surprised that Iran hasn’t started blowing up the oil wells just so no one can have it.
That's what Saddam Hussein did....
Saddam only ordered the blowing up of oil wells IN KUWAIT (some 600-700 of them), as his forces ran away. And I like to think that, if he were here now, he'd say that "blowing up oil wells in your own d*mn country would be bat-sh*t crazy! even for me!!"
Trump is to precise, logical explanation as sausage is to steak.
Very accurate metaphor! And I honestly prefer sausage, especially Italian sausage. 😋
Good metaphor! And if I may: still--for SOME CRAZY INEXPLICABLE REASON!--Trump supporters "seem to prefer" FRESH SAUSAGE to ROTTEN STEAK! Go figure.
Welllll ima Ribeye gal, but I love some sausage as a side dish - it compliments my meal.
