VIKINGS NEWS – One week after Khyree Jackson is killed by a drunk driver, teammate Jordan Addison is arrested for a DUI. Couple this with the speeding incident by Addison last year, and I am ready to proclaim this guy an idiot. Someone call Chris Carter. Addison needs a fall-guy for sure.

Question of the Day – I normally hate all things politics, but this is a real question. What will the President/VP tickets be come November? Trump and who? And who will the Dems throw out there?
Media Selection – Fitting
Looking forward to Vance vs cackles in VP debate. Bet he mops the floor with her.
When he does he’ll be called a racist and sexist.
She can’t out debate Joe.
Who says you can’t screw your way to success.
That never worked for me.
It will be significant in the passage of time. It will also be good to be unburdened by what has been in previous debates.
This is really good news….maybe we can get rid of the whole leap year thingy….
Melting polar ice is changing the way the Earth spins, making our days longer | CNN
why do i feel like they are writing this because some people at CNN are like whoa, it seems to be a lot lighter out right now than during the winter…
come winter time, they are going to say the earth is spinning too fast causing daylight to not last as long…
literally the logic by so many of these morons
I love the republic, but hate the government. Dealing with SSA and Medicare since my cougar wife is “at age”…such a delight.
Those that know me know that I have a near photographic recall of the 47 page booklet that CMS sent her ahead of the joyous occasion. In there it sez based on our records part B will cost a few paltry pennies. “Well, we sez, “it makes little sense to forgo pt B”.
Oho, a bait and switch…since our records show you are married to a gouger pt B premiums will be much much higher, much higher in fact than what it costs for existing clinic visits with the policy you currently have. Therefore, we shall apply the entirety of your SSA benefit for the first three months to pt B.
Okay, understandable misunderstanding I guess. Submitted the form to cancel pt B a month ago. Called today, oh no we have not received the form.
The Government Sucks….That is all.
We let it get that way sadly.
Just listened to parts of Mahorkis’ press conference atr the WH regarding Saturday nights assassination attempt. I’d enclose but don’t know how.
But if anyone cares to listen, it completely illustrates why people have ZERO confidence in our government leaders. Now it seems everything is up to some independent investigation. The guy responsible is totally clueless.
It’s shameful.
It’s official – it’s JD Vance.
He criticized him pretty good in 2016. Said he was noxious and compared him to a opioid, so i read.
Yes, but said he was wrong and Trump was a hell of a President. I like the pick. It sounds like he might get a few more Rust Belt votes…
Good break down on this weekends events with some video bits and things that you wont see larger media outlets talking about or sharing, if you have the time of course.
If or when Addison is offered a lucrative deal it best be loaded with stipulations. Shit for brains.
He’ll go the route of Ruggs before then if he doesn’t perform some cranial rectal removal.
No worries. KOC had a good talk with him last year after the ‘dog’ incident and straightened him out.
Boys will be boys
Was that picture of lady right behind Trump who decided to take a video on cell written of to sheer stupidity?
Sounds like the VP pick may be Vance. He was reportedly picked up by a large contingent of government vehicles.
great minds and all
Sounds like it and I really don’t understand the pick. But Trump sure as hell knows more about it than I do.
Or Trump is doing a Trump thing and faking everybody out to announce somebody that hasn’t even been talked about like Jim Jordan.
Trump indeed knows how to put on a show.
Now just me, I generally think Governors make better Presidents than Senators or representatives. But not always.
Been announced. It’s Vance.
my guess is JD Vance
suppose we’ll hear in what, 2ish hours?
I think they have to announce it by then by their own rules.

Oh well, I mostly lurk anyway.
In fairness we did talk about Addison being an idiot, but other than that not much Vikings news to discuss.
All-time great movie.
Bang bang 👉👉
For me the Secret Service Head discussion reminds of the contrast with the way the Navy handles things. At least the pre – woke Navy anyway.
Naval ship runs a ground. The Captain of the ship is immediately relieved and a board of inquiry is convened. And 99% of the time the Captain is found to be at fault.
Even if the Captain is asleep in his stateroom at 2:00 in the morning, and the Helsman and Officer of the Day completely screwed up. The board would say the Captain is responsible for the training of the crew and their execution of their duties. And if standing orders were unclear or ambiguous his fault too. Simply, the Captain is responsible for the ship and its mission, and running it aground is a massive failure.
So who gets fired?
SS head lady?
Or the Secretary of Homeland Security?
Now you are talking politics.
FJP won’t fire anyone.
They might be confined to resign however.
They’ll get promotions, raises and bonuses. If there is any punishment it will be because Trump survived.
Promoted out of a job and out of sight is a long time honored solution to these kinds of problems.
Correct.
That’s how they think.
Yes.
Head of Secret Service.
That would be my guess as well.
Or at least, she is the one who should be fired, among others.
All Commanders in all branches of the military are held accountable for what happens in their units.
Same thing in prison, Sgts, Lt’s and up get disciplined for things that their underlings do.
“You can delegate authority but you cannot delegate responsibility”
And the line highlighted is totally unknown in Washington, and I’d add accountability. Remember Hillary with Benghazi – Oh I’m responsible, but don’t hold me accountable.
That line is the bedrock of Military Leadership.
Now once Politics get involved anything goes.
Plus Hillary is a skank/traitor right up there with Hanoi Jane.
Unless a turret explodes killing 47 on a battleship brought out of mothballs during an ill conceived firing drill using inexperienced personnel and untested powder bags…then you just say one of the turret operators was gay and blew it up intentionally…oops.
Sounds like a political coverup.
‘ill conceived firing drill using inexperienced personnel and untested powder bags…’
sounds like there was grounds to take down the ships commander/capt.
Plus gay/bi sailors are to be expected.
*Military humor*
The buck stops here is an old saying that should be accepted today. Of course, what should really happen is our President should fire himself for hiring such incompetence.
SS apparently was focused more on Jill Biden than Trump.
Resources diverted away from Trump.
And adequate staffing for Trump was on a break and temp staff was used on Saturday.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/07/15/secret_service_in_crisis_inflexible_protocols_security_lapses_in_spotlight_151265.html
So after many investigations we are going to hear ‘ the poor old Secret Service was just grossly understaffed ‘ which caused the event. And thus no one in Secret Service Leadership will be held accountable for this horrific event.
Understaffing the former and likely future president sounds like a fireable offense to me.
That’s my guess.
There will likely be a fall guy/gal. Someone or a few people will get the axe, but nothing will change until after the election, assuming Trump makes it that far.
To me the Secret Service has a job to do. Doesn’t matter if they have to use local police or even rent a cops. But, they DIDN’t get the job done and someone actually did get killed – no excuse for this,
The Head of Secret Service should be fired today.
Absolutely. For rational people.
Are Biden and his agencies rational?
I don’t think so.
I even think Biden and his staff hate Trump so much that they are/were willing to do things based on that hate.
They would never admit that though.
They denied RFK jr SS protection.
Anybody that is in their way, gets less.
But..but…FJB said Trump is in his and Jills prayers?
Last week:
Trump is hitler and a threat to democracy.
Now:
Hitler is in our thoughts and prayers.
Norse, you know the old saying.
Q: How do you know if a politician is lying?
A: Their lips are moving.
i’m not sure what other issues the Secret Service could have that would get the head of SS fired…if an ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT doesn’t.
I think she will get fired.
Doesn’t mean HS will do anything different with someone new.
FJB evidently pulled her over from his detail when he was elected.
He has yet to fire anyone, she maybe convinced to resign but DEI hires like her are notoriously hard to get rid of.
She was working for Coca Cola I think when Dementia Joe appointed her.
Pepsi, which makes it even worse….
And I thought pulling a stupid-visor from the DMV to be our Warden was beyond stupid.
Could be.
As you said over the weekend, someone will get fired.
I think I said ‘someone should get fired’.
But I have slept since then so I am no longer sure.
Damn right. They have one friggin job to do and they failed. Period!
Do you think that matters to Biden?
No. But when it’s head up there and maybe his ear gets blown off, he will have a change of mind.
Sorry but I don’t think it will matter to them.
They will say all kinds of stuff, and act like they are doing something, but nothing will get done. I give the border invasion as an example.
I guess I’m too far gone to think that any of these people care about anything other than their agenda.
Oh I agree with you – they don’t give a rats about Trump. But maybe when their asses get blown off, maybe they’ll change.
But I’m gone too.
At least they are asking the right questions, although I doubt we will get honest answers to most of them.
I found this quote concerning.
‘A source within the Secret Service community told RCP that the agency’s rules of engagement in this situation are for a counter sniper who suspects an armed threat to radio the lead agent in charge and wait for a green light or wait until the president is fired upon to return fire.’
Bongino refuted that and said the stories about the rules of engagement having anything to do with the delay in action are bogus.
If the rules are complicated and you have ‘local support’ that may not know all the rules there is room for delay/hesitation. Especially with DEI hires added in.
There being some sort of rules of engagement like that doesn’t make sense. That would mean the people protecting the most important people in the country have more restrictive rules of engagement than a normal peace officer.
For sure. In these situations, hesitation will cause great harm to ” the most important people in the country,
Underrated Puddle of Mudd Song
Getting older suuuuuucks….
Alone with the dogs all weekend, wife in Omaha for a bachelorette party.
In the backyard for a few brief minutes Saturday morning. (Hot as blazes here, over a hundred the last few days) the Goose was loose and running around. He sees a younger guy and his daughter and in the blink of an eye, jumps the fence to greet them with a howl – this causes concern as we live on a busy street and I never have him off leash outside the fence. The fence is a little over 3 feet tall and made of wire so I swing my legs over it and get to Goose and his new friends. They were great, girl got to pet the puppy and everbody was happy. They walk away and I grab Goose (who’s about 45 lbs) and pick him up and lift him over the fence and swing my legs back over it – and my back seizes up.
Feels like a bear trap has grabbed ahold of the base of my spine and I get an intense pain from under my asscheek that shoots down my leg and up my spine to my shoulder. Thankfully I don’t go over. I’m hunched up pretty good and managed to grab a spade shovel leaned up next to the house and limp my way back in, get Goose inside and immediately get a heating pad and my therapy gun – wrap the pad around my back and plug it in and use the gun on my hip and lower back for about 45 minutes while standing in my kitchen. Got some IB 800’s and then realized I had Percocet from my dental work left last year. Took that with some pudding and spent another hour wandering the house, afraid to sit down. Prepped my easy chair with some extra pillows and found my cane (an impulse buy during COVID I got off the clearance rack from Ace Hardware for $15). Packed a soft cooler with some PBJ’s, pretzels and water, took another Percocet and passed out in the chair – woke up to a news alert about the Trump shooting. More heat and therapy gun most of the day yesterday. Called in this morning. Feel better today – walking without the cane, but my back still hurts enough that I don’t want to be in an office chair all day.
Hope everyone’s Monday is going well and incident free.
Skol
Sounds like a classic disk extrusion.
Thank goodness I’ve never had back problems.
I can clearly remember the Challenger disaster as I was home studying for an exam during exam week senior year HS, dad was also home, watching tv in their room and making their bed, cried out and as I was helping him into the bed there was breaking news. He had a (one and only) disk extrusion that fortunately resolved with time and mild narcs.
I’m impressed with the planning and forethought that went into your routine before climbing into the chair.
Not my first rodeo with my back seizing up – I’ve made changes for the better and was hopeful I’d lost enough weight to avoid back issues and had done so for almost a year. Last time I went to the ground and it took 45 minutes of maneuvering furniture around so I could use it to stand up. Cane came in handy then too.
Had something similar happen when working at the prison. Tall laundry cart full of sheets that had to be pulled out and exchanged with the inmates.
Felt like I had been shot in the back. Made it thru the shift gingerly with the help of my partners, came back the next day on over the counter pain killers and muscle relaxers and got thru that shift. Then my days off and survived.
I give credit to 22 years of exercise the Army forced on me, gave me a strong core. But it was a near thing.
QOFTD: Glenn Youngkin, VA.
Addison.
All I know is I was pretty hard on him with the “dog made me do it” excuse on the speeding.
Looking forward to what the DUI excuse will be.
Would make a great choice. And if Trump should win and if he really wants to drain the swamp, it will take more than four years. Youngkin would make a very good transitional player for his replacement. .
And it could help flip Virginia red.
I think the choice is likely based on the future leader.
As well as flipping VA.
My guess is that Trump now sees everything he does from the lens that he is living on borrowed time going forward.
Confirmed: Addison is brainless.
@Who hasn’t stopped for a nap in the middle of a freeway?@
DEI hires at their best.
And the President’s head was expossed over half way to the SUV because we had a 5′ 4″ Secret Service Agent.
Funny
That woman looks scared. What type of guy takes a job when the job description says ” may be used as a human shield” Tough dudes.
Flight to Nashville booked for the Titans game!! Looking forward to November. Taking almost half of it off from work, deer hunting, Nashville, thanks giving, football, football.
^envious.
Wheres your nearest airport? Could still find a cheap ticket!
Should be a great time of year to be in Nashville.
Thats what I saw, was curious and looked up the weather, anywhere between 50s-70s for highs. 30s-40s for Lows. With no wind, I can handle that any day.
And aside from football, the food and entertainment should be wonderful.
Absolutely. Its a win win all around. And iv never seen the Vikes win in person, so hopefully having that joy and taking that downtown. Cherry on top.
My sons bachelor party is going to that game as well.
Right on! That would be a blast. Id buy him a beer if I saw him.
Awesome, you can buy me a beer
Are you going to be in Nashville?
I am likely to be at Jacksonville and Nashville. Both are easy drives for me.
Fantastic, well, you can DM me or email me closer to November some contact info and I can hit you up that weekend. Going with a group?
Trying to figure that out. Might have a small group
Well keep in touch! Let me know

Jack Smith a fraud.
Judge in Florida throws out Document case against Trump with it’s 37 Felony charges.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/judge-dismisses-trumps-florida-classified-documents-case
Jack Smith should have been disbarred after the McDonnell case – never aany consequences for prosecutors that aduse their positions.
the conspiracy theorist in me is having a GRAND time with the assassination attempt and everything coming out about it now..
but wow, what a crazy thing. we were millimeters away from a civil war i feel..
kind of love the fact that trump, pointing to and referring to/looking at his big graph for biden’s idiocy saved his life (also the Lord)
I was in Duluth this weekend, so I never got much news on it.
I actually learned about it because one of my Facebook friends immediately posted something like, “My guess is Trump faked it. He was shot at with a rubber bullet or something. The secret service has done things like this before…”
I have come to the conclusion that some of my Facebook friends are true idiots. It has nothing to do with their political affiliation. They are just flat out stupid.
@Birds of a feather?@
I kid because I care.
I don’t mind. I freely embrace any roast people send my way.
I figure, if I make fun of movies and take offense if people make a joke at my expense, that would make a hypocrite.
So, I say, let the stinging arrows of fly!
If you can’t take it you should not be dishing it out.
Good way to look at things.
I actually thought that our teleprompter lovin’ president would (if it were truly a deep fake) say, “shot rings out – duck”.
I can see the ‘idiot in chief’ doing that.
Most people are true idiots, unfortunately.
I subscribe to the idea “Never blame conspiracy that which can be accounted to incompetence”.
The Head of the Secret Service appointed by FJB has pushed for DEI hires since she took over. Sounds more like incompetence to me.
i think it’s a little bit of both…
Kind of like the ‘bosses’ wanted to make sure idiots were in place to take the blame?
#fallguys
Yep.
They knew they had incompetent people, so this was the opportunity to allow the incompetence for an assassination attempt to be blamed on incompetence, rather than the real reason for the conspiracy.
The lovely thing about Washington is that when you get many different agencies involved and things get screwed up, you can always blame it on miscommunication and ‘no one’ is ever responsible and held accountable.
It would have been a serious crisis on the democracy, that is for sure.
You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to wonder how someone climbs onto a roof with a rifle 130 yards from a former president. Hell when we were walking to the Department of the Interior secret service wouldn’t let us within 130 yards of the back entrance despite my wife had to pee really bad, cuz the speaker of the house was in the building (as we later found out, not like ss volunteered that info).
well not only that, but the SEEMINGLY absolute negligence on taking the shooter out before he took his shot. lots of interesting videos coming forward.
but alas, this is the conspiracy itch i have needed scratched for a while.
glad Trump is ok.
I heard a cop climbed the ladder, looked at the shooter, shooter started to point the rifle at him, and the cop went back down the ladder. How was Trump not removed from the stage? Not sure why there was hesitation from the counter sniper, but I could hit a prairie dog at 130 yards with a 22 LR. Trump was extremely lucky.
i have a feeling there are going to be alot of stories coming out. which ones are true vs false etc will be hard to determine.
that being said, there should have been SO MUCH MORE done than what was done.
i saw a video of the sniper that shot and killed the would be assassin and it sure seemed like he was looking at him the whole time. could be wrong. who knows.
^ this, read there was a delay of 3 minutes before giving the ok for the counter sniper to shoot.
No proof he was going to ‘take the shot’ on Trump until he pulled the trigger.
You don’t let somebody within 1000 yards of the president with a rifle. The failure was mind boggling. The guy should have never gotten with 100 yards of the building much less on top of it with a rifle. It just doesn’t add up. The female secret service agents that couldn’t even holster their weapons after the fact was comforting though.
How are Secret Service guys trained. Guy on a roof with rifle aiming at speaker. Wait for him to take the shot and then you fire?
I forgot the ‘sarcasm font’?
I read a story from a former secret service agent years ago where he was walking alongside the president’s car in a parade.
He saw a kid pointing a gun at the car. He said he was a hair-trigger away from burning the kid where he stood before he realized it was a squirt gun and stopped himself.
So, I think if they see a threat, they are supposed to act and ask questions later.
Maybe snipers have a different protocol, I don’t know.
I don’t think they were secret service snipers.
Have seem both reported.
Local cops? State? Secret Service?
Not sure. Bongino just said on his podcast that they were supposedly tracking the guy when he showed up and then lost him.
He just said that he has been told there were both secret service and locals there and does not know which the team that took out the shooter was. He also explained that the sniper did not need permission to shoot and the rules of engagement allowed him to shoot the guy as soon as he saw them but there may have been a visibility issue and that’s why there was a delay in shooting the guy.
‘there may have been a visibility issue’
If only there had been a way to check for that in advance.
Absolutely. The guy should never have been on the roof.
Too bad they can’t afford drones and FLIR.
Absolutely had sights on him for MINUTES per some sources.
Yeah, and if there was no clear shot, Trump should have been on the ground and removed from the stage before there was a shot.
bingo
Was at the family reunion in the Mission valley when we heard the news. Mostly good ole boys and gals. After we heard the distance at which the sniper shot, shoot’n prowess stories started to unfold. Of course beer was flowing all afternoon.
“I once shot a gnat off a cow’s ear at 270 yards with an old .30-06”
With open sights and hand cast lead bullets.
In high wind
I shot a Raven off a telephone pole out in the desert once.
Might have just scared it to death as it just fell off, no feathers flying.
It was about 130 yards with an M16 (we were bored) but I had a sturdy base and the Raven wasn’t shooting back.
OK, so I have to brag about one of my kills. Last summer I saw a possum out in my field, shot it in the eye at 150 yards with my .270. Yes, I had a scope.
Possum stew for dinner?
Granny Clampett would have been proud.
Ha, no possum stew for me! I probably won’t shoot another one after I was told that they eat a lot of ticks.
Ewww,
Yeah, I agree, possum stew is off the menu.
Report is that the cop was being boosted up by another cop, saw the shooter point a gun at him, ducked and fell off the other cop.
Were they keystone cops?
Local Cops, yes.
Yeah, and they reportedly had sights on him for at least 30+ seconds before the first shot, in addition to people warning SS about the guy up there for 3-4 MINUTES, so they knew in advance and could have at least pulled Trump off stage until investigated. Highly likely some semblance of planning or allowing the first few shots IMO.
I’ve told this story before, but when I was a kid, President Jimmy Carter came to town on the Delta Queen or one of those steamboat throwbacks. We lived in an apartment that was within viewing distance of where the boat docked. A couple of guys (secret service) where carrying stuff up the back stairs and my brother volunteered to help carry their cases. Once they put the ladder up to go up to the roof, they politely told him that was as far as he could go. It didn’t register with me until later that secret service snipers where on my roof. Of course, I was a young teen at the time and was quite clueless.
That’s pretty cool.
The conspiracy theorist in me says even if half the democratic party was involved it will come out that it was just a crazy, irrational lone wolf young white man.
of course, NO ONE, helped push this guy to this action….NO ONE
“Trump needs to be taken out”
“We need to put a bullseye on Trump”
i was informed that the reason the assassination attempt happened was because of the republican side….
Yup,
Fake news calling on Trump to tone down the rhetoric.
I hope this is real.
It is but unfortunately it is only for one day.
So true. Little more than spokesmen for the DNC and truly stirup the Trump hate.
So many Democruds and thier ilk having to apologize for comments, post, etc this weekend.
They are trying to stem the bleeding, looking stupid and assisting Trump.
Biden almost said we need to make America great again last night. That would have been an awesome sound bite for Trump.
They would have had to put FJB down at that point and we would have been stuck with Cackles.
I give Biden one week, maybe less – then it will be the same old mean spirited Joe. That’s all he’s got and all he’s ever done.
The hypocrisy is mind boggling. Glad Trump is OK.
@He’s a registered Republican@
Who donated to left wing causes.
Well, we’re not going to report on that, because there is no iron clad proof yet.
I seen an article or headline that read Secret Service rushes to Trumps aid after falling on stage. Nothing about being shot.
CNN at its best.
TDS is a real thing.
“Secret Service tackles Trump after loud noises heard”
Yep, seen that one too, but there is no media bias.
In fairness, NBC (shockingly) reported both facts, that he was registered as a republican and also donated to a progressive left organization.
Some pointed out that a number of progressives registered republican to force Nicki Haley through (don’t know the truth behind that).
The kid seemed to love guns, so there’s weird conflicting ideologies, imho.
https://babylonbee.com/news/political-party-that-called-trump-hitler-shocked-someone-would-try-to-shoot-him
What made me laugh out loud was Biden saying the FBI will handle this.
The same FBI that lied about the Hunter Laptop and were embedded in the January 6th protest and involved in pushing a few people to “kidnap” Gretchen Whitmire.
It’s a conspiracy that will never be investigated, and likely claim that it was a right wing event.
Just my guess.
They have plenty of ‘priors’ to give that conspiracy legs.
yes correct, the same FBI that has become an absolute joke
can the vikings take addison’s drivers license away? before the law does?
Like an unruly teenager he can always find a way to sneak out and get into trouble.
I was always sharing news stories about teenagers doing dumb things and having very bad things happen to them with my Nieces/Nephews. Seems to have helped curb that type of thing.
*So far so good*
i, of course, am being facetious.
but man is it annoying to see a vikings player in the news doing stupid stuff.
It’s a specialty of Vikings players and our cross to bear.
We have had a bit less of it the last couple of years.
JA doing his best to fill that void.
He was probably at a church function having a couple of cold ones and making sure everyone else got fed before he sat down to eat himself, when he got a call that his dog was sick.
@it could happen@
Rec for Hopium.
My guess is he drank some of the Kombucha tea at the training facility.
How could I forget about the Kombucha drama?
You think that would stop him from being a dumdum?
no
I knew he was trouble after the speeding ticket last year.
No rational person speeds 100+mph and then blames the dog.
Yeah, lying dumb s*it.
Oh yeah, and Addison is an idiot.
Indeed. His teammate suffers a fatal accident caused by a drunk driver, and Addison is dumb enough to drive while under the influence a few days later? Beyond stupid…
AotD:
I think Trump will bring in a lesser known candidate, not sure who, but not DeSantis or Abbey from Texas. Maybe Noem, but I don’t see him trying a gimmick type VP and I don’t think she would be the right person for the job. I could see him running with someone he knows like a VP of one of his businesses.
Dems will run either Kamala and Bloomberg or Hillary and Kamala.
Or, I could see Kennedy switching to the Democratic ticket.
Democruds have hit the ‘pause button’ on replacing FJB after the failed hit job on Trump.
So looking like they will run the two morans out there and take the loss.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/some-house-democrats-reportedly-give-up-biden-resigned-second-trump-presidency
Looking like Vance from Ohio is the odds on favorite, but that could take a R Senator off the board, ND Gov looks like a creeper and doesn’t add anything to the ticket. Rubio speaks Spanish which could help but they would have to get around the rule that states ‘no two candidates from the same state on the same ticket’. Scott from S.C. brings voters but is considered too Nice and too Religious by others.
He could go outside those 4 but they all have pro’s and con’s. It will be interesting to see whom he chooses.
“failed hit job”, really? So potus put his trust in an unstable 20 year old kid to take out his opponent?
The kid tried to kill Trump, he failed.
Hence ‘failed hit job’.
You, and everyone else in the world can attach whatever conspiracy to those facts that make you happy.
I don’t put any stock into conspiracy theories from either side of the isle, and I sure wouldn’t believe over half the crap that’s being said on the internet about this right now.
I hope he picks Noem because I know how happy it would make Eggslushie to have the corn field queen as the Vice President.
But if he picks Noem, she will no longer be SD governor. Which would make Edge happy.
It’s been a couple of decades ago, but I was talking to some people from Arkansas. I asked them why they never warned us about the Clintons, and he said they were just happy to get rid of them in their state.
I actually have it on very good insider information (being serious) that he’s looking at Burgum here from ND. My sister works for him and his office and my other sister has worked with the senate on Government Medical related things.
I would frankly be very surprised given the recent signing of the very restrictive abortion bill in ND. That would be a gold mine for attack ads.
Could be. But, is it really surprised a states thats voted red for almost its entire existence is a staunch conservative view on abortion? If most people saw those attack adds they would go, “Yeah, no shit, and the sky is blue, whats new?” Abortion is such low hanging fruit the fact people cling to it as a major problem in this country where there are worse things that need fixing is amazing to me.
Most people could not find North Dakota on a map and its single Congressional seat doesn’t move the needle. As you pointed out, the state is a solid red so Burgum provides no political capital. Would be like picking a VP from Montana.
Tell you what, he picks Burgum and I’ll post “kfey is a football god and political genius” as a footnote with every post I make for the next 30 days.
Well you dont gotta be an ass about it MT lol. I do see your point, im not claiming to be a political genius, im just throwing my 2 cents on to the table. Considering my sister is worried about finding a new job if Burgum gets selected for VP, and my other sister is getting contacted personally by assistants from the Biden campaign because they are worried about Burgum and wanted an upper hand when it comes to his stances on medical issues in the country, just saying, there’s smoke there. My sister is taking that campaign assistant for a ride btw, dont worry about that.
He’s sharp for sure. Think he would make a great Sec of Energy.
Fox is saying that Burgum just received a call saying he is not the VP pick.
kfey gonna go cry in his momma’s arms now
Hearing Rubio is not the pick either.
small hands ricky?? say it aint so
hahaha great movie and response.
😘thanks lol
Huh, well good news! My sister gets to keep her job! lol
Addison, really? Dumbass..
Good morning, SKOL!
FTP!
I am trying a sugar cane drink. It’s is basically like water with sugar dumped in it.
Stupid Addison. I had not heard that.
So, Kool-Aid?
Not as good as Kool-Aid. No fruity flavor. Just something like straight white sugar dissolved in water.
My wife went to an Asian grocery store the other day in Minneapolis: United Noodles.
Since I can only wait in a car for about an hour before going crazy, I went inside to kill some time and picked out the sugar cane drink. Not sure which Asian country it comes from.
I also picked out a coconut one. I will try that tomorrow.
The big junk food score was a dozen Dunkin Donuts. They actually had Apple Spice on the shelf yesterday in St. Peter. They hardly ever Apple Spice when when I visit a Dunkin Donuts. It’s my favorite. If they don’t have it, I usually don’t get anything.
