‘I don’t like people that sink.’

Sure as hell made the news, didn’t it Linda?
Just not the way you expected it to, right?
And it’s sight, not site.
Though the event did go swimmingly, didn’t it?
I am not sure if this is Lake Travis or somewhere else, in a coördinated melée (there is some “#Havasu” hashtag), but one of the boats is on fire. My guess is they ran out of charcoal but discovered the deck was made of wood.
So, isn’t expecting the government to help you…socialism???

Remember, folks, you can’t have your kayak and heat it too.

Trump Campaign Flack Gets Dragged on Twitter After Mocking Joe Biden As He Visits His Son’s Grave
I believe we have some footage of a different angle of that interaction.
Are they working the outrage fatigue? Trying to pound the country’s hearts and souls into submission, that we will let them shit down our throats and barely notice because that is just how they are?
Since becoming the overseer of Voice of America in June, Michael Pack has fired subordinates, disbanded advisory boards and declined to renew the visas of foreign journalists who work under him.
Political appointees frequently make personnel changes when they take on a new role. But Pack, who heads the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), has offered a unique justification for his actions: He is rooting out potential spies.
In a memo to staff last month, Pack suggested that his purges are part of an effort to shore up lax personnel standards that have left VOA vulnerable to foreign espionage. His predecessors “ignored common national security protocols and essential government human resources practices,” he wrote. He put it more bluntly last week in an interview with the Federalist, a conservative commentary site: “It’s a great place to put a foreign spy.”
Yet Pack has presented no evidence that anyone at VOA is a foreign intelligence agent. …
Evidence? Don’t need no stinkin’ evidence. Evidence is for suckers and losers.
…Nor has he explained why VOA and sister agencies such as Radio Free Europe and Radio Free Asia — media organizations that don’t control sensitive government information — would be an appealing target for penetration by a hostile power.
Likewise, no need or room for rational thinking.
… The goals behind the transformations he has pushed for remain murky — although he has said he wants to ensure that VOA “presents the policies of the United States clearly and effectively,” some staffers say this means a realignment with Trump White House messaging.
Gee, ya think?
They argued that the claims throw a blanket of suspicion over their organization, which since World War II has sought to deliver objective news and information to countries where press freedom is limited or nonexistent.
Soon to be the USA.
They also say it could endanger VOA journalists working abroad: Terrorists and rogue regimes have used bogus accusations of spying as a pretext for the arrest or murder of journalists for decades.
Hey, they knew what they were signing up for, amirite?
Who is Michael Pack?
… a documentary filmmaker whose nomination was promoted by former White House top adviser Stephen K. Bannon. “He’s my guy, and I pushed him hard,” Bannon told The Washington Post in June.
I hear advertisements for the VOA museum on the radio from time to time.
On the commercial, it says that Hitler called it the “Cincinnati liars.”
There are “good people” on both sides, so now they are just trying to tell the other side of the story.
Spotted this in a window at the mall today.
It’s hard to grasp how many different levels of stupid are reflected in that one t-shirt. But credit where it’s due, at least they know how to use an apostrophe.
The one that reads, ‘I’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat!’ is likewise a head-scratcher, but fair enough. I’d rather be an American than a Republican.
Sounds like a good shirt/hat logo to me
