Oh, I have a doozy for ya. I’ve got a beauty!

UN FINAL INESPERADO (AN UNEXPECTED ENDING)

Seriously… how dumb do you think your audiences are if you feel the need to hold their hand and spoon-feed them like this? This is taken to a level that doesn’t make sense anymore, the so-called “solution” is so much worse than the perceived “problem”.

On the one hand, it looks like there a mirror behind her, the clientele being reflected. But then that couple in diagonal from our point of view messes with that illusion, more so because the woman shown from behind is wearing the same dress, or at least similar cut but identical color, and hair.

You have to also give credit where it’s due to Biden and his team, for having the intelligence and decency to step aside, to acknowledge that the president is vulnerable this election cycle, to play to their party’s strengths and present an ace up their sleeve, and for having picked Kamala as VP four years ago in the first place!

President Joe Biden has proven himself to be a true patriot - country first, ego taking a step or three back. He deserves our applause.

The libs aren’t triggered because the libs aren’t batshit crazy idiotic. The libs see a light-hearted joking gesture and don’t make a mountain out of a molehill with it; the libs do not drown in a glass of water; the libs can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Living in Baja, I’m at least thankful for not having mormon craziness right next door.

Imagine northern Baja during Prohibition in the United States, jam-packed with bars catering to gringos looking to get plastered. That’s how Tijuana grew from a sleepy town to city virtually overnight back then. Many people still see Tijuana as a drinking-spree place, in reputation. Now imagine it was still that way, at that 1920s level of intensity.

Imagine polygamy as part of daily religion and politics in the area. With so much territory equaling political agency, Deseret might have openly maintained their backwater, backwards attitudes towards women to this day. It would have seeped into Mexico. It would be part of the conversation.

As it stands, we are buffered from those crazy mormon bastards by a series of layers with other types of crazy, and currently Baja could not have had better luck than with a neighbor like blue, progressive California.
Thank god we don’t have Texas or Arizona next door. Sorry about that, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas. We got lucky there in Baja.

I’m afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:

2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller’s Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard’s seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.

Also, having China and Mexico both in the same general direction makes no sense whatsoever. I’m sure it is not the only inaccuracy in the map, this one just leapt off the screen for me.

He’s still got a valid point. In songs and in some ads, they even show up.
Add cellphone ringtones to that list, the list of “whoever thought this was a clever idea is an idiot” ideas.
