Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
You have to laugh when the feminist left come out and claim Katie Zacharia getting the chop is a clear cut case RedTrump misogyny. Now I hate RedTrump as much as the next person, but asserting he is anti-female in that event is a long stretch.

When RedTrump called that reporter Ms Piggy, yes misogyny for sure, but not in the case of Zacharia getting the chop as she was an incompetent fraud.

If there was any prejudice or bias in the Zacharia series of events, it's how she managed to get the job in the first place, which is ironic for an administration that has disassembled DEI.

Just as RedTrump's supporters role out to defend him, he puts his stinky size 10 in their mouth, he's one of those friends that social workers and psychologists tell you to avoid!

After the last weeks Russia deals, is there any doubt remaining about why I call him RedTrump?

I dare say his plan to avoid jail, is to flea to the Soviet block or similar sympathetic communist connected region as soon as his time his up.

I can't help but be amused by the MAGA abandonment of RedTrump, he's become the embarrassing uncle they sit in the corner and do not mention. Having lost the locus of their discussions that reverted to talking about Biden who is now apparently the cause of all their pain. I fully expect when that switch in focus fails to gain traction, that MAGA will wheel out Hillary or Obama next.

There are analogies between this MAGA behaviour and the situation in Victoria, pro-liberty the claim is they do not tell you how to live your life, unless of course you are female, teenage, gay, transgender, transvestite, agnostic, atheist, vaccinator or feminist, excluding lesbian, lesbian is OK because they all harbour lesbian fantasies.

Apparently the ideal MAGA woman is a youthful, slender, blue-eyed, blond haired bisexual trad wife who wears a pineapple skirt.

I'm not sure I follow.
It's been asserted RedTrump's appointments follow a conservative fundamentalist policy, in which females have a specific place and role in society.

I couldn't help but think of that discussion in context of @Thryleon's tongue in cheek comment about RedTrump.

The debates I refer to stem from the recent "Unsteady State" series published on The Philosopher's Zone, starting with the recent Alan Saunders lecture, well worth a listen.

Which is a real shame because I would have liked to see what Saturday Night Live and Jon Stewart did with her efforts, :D  :D
Just never got into SNL or a lot of other US sketch comedy, I've always preferred the Brits for sketch, maybe I watched too much of the Dean Martin Show growing up.

Stand Up I put in a different category, and I gravitate to the less scripted types. George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Rich Hall I don't mind, they can be a bit dark for some, the US equivalents of a Gervais or Connolly type.

Back on the topic, some US state based Bar Associations have apparently launched enquiries, not sure what the penalty is for being a fake lawyer but we could be about to find out.

Why is it not surprising, that RedTrump's freshly appointed White House Press Secretary, a person who has previously called herself a lawyer, failed the bar exam?

Who'd have thunk it, the conman likes to employ con-artists!

The 42-year-old obtained her J.D. from Pepperdine Caruso Law in 2011, according to her LinkedIn profile. Her work history also includes a gig as “general counsel” for a Ric Grenell–operated nonprofit based in California, but Legum found she held no credentials to practice law there.

Zacharia is not listed as a member of the bar in Texas or Washington, D.C., either, despite evidence that she also worked there in a legal capacity.

In fact, after analyzing state bar association databases from all 50 states and Washington, Legum found that Zacharia never actually passed the qualifying legal exam anywhere.

In an emailed response about Zacharia’s dubious résumé, the White House referred Legum to Donald Trump’s Friday Truth Social post, in which he declared Zacharia’s appointment under the pretext that she is a “distinguished Graduate of Pepperdine University, and the Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, an attorney, and a frequent Commentator on outlets, including Fox News and Newsmax.”

The White House did not offer any other supporting evidence for Zacharia’s work history.

Oscar has been pushed to #2 driver and would do best to go elsewhere. There is 1 huge problem though......where could he go that is an improvement?
That is a problem for him, but he certainly can't win while remaining there unless Norris suffers some unforeseen fate, and as long as Brown keeps getting uber "performance" bonusses the Norris favouritism is assured.

Zac Brown made his bed, now he can lie in it. If he is happy being the CEO of Company that is run by one of his drivers and said driver's dad, good luck to the sack of crap.
If he'd done the right thing Lando's dad would have had him sacked, instead they paid him an $80M bonus, more than either driver, but of course Lando never has and never will need the money!

That's why Oscar cannot win, it's not about the team being the best, it's about Lando having an advantage.

btw. The Sky crew talk about Piastri like he's a novice, and they talk about Norris and Russell like they are veterans, but before the final few races of last season Oscar had more F1 wins than either of the Brits, he still has more wins than Russell!

How many years have we been persisting with some of these highlight reel spuds while others can't get a run?

It's so good to see a bloke grafting a ton in challenging conditions for a change, not just a flat T20 track bully like some other nameless spuds, but a proper test innings on a proper test pitch that offers a bit for everyone!
