  1. 1958 – at school with John Kerry in Massachusetts – total jackass
    2025 – 67 years later and nothing has changed – same haughty jackass.

    1. My fraternity at UC Berkeley had a guy … I’ll call him ‘Ted’ … *snicker* … who was just like that. His daddy had built a very successful $$$$ business, and ‘Ted’ never let us forget. Fast forward 20 years and the cutest-ever sorority girl ‘Ted’ had married took the kids and left him. And his father’s business was in a shambles from ‘Ted’s’ mismanagement and self indulgence.

      Sadly, John Kerry found a brain dead heiress to keep him going.

  2. He was correct of course but who in their right mind would publicly admit to ever having voted for John Kerry.

  3. Kerry should put a couple of bolts under his eyes and audition for the role of an extra in a Frankenstein movie.

    Just as he was getting the Demshevik nomination, years ago, we happened to be passing through Bangor, ME, (NOT Ulster or Wales), and, jokingly at the supper table I asked “where does Stephen King live?”

    I was surprised at the response: “oh, everyone goes to have a look. He doesn’t mind so long as you don’t go on the actual property”.

    So we went to have a look. Nice place, with dragon and wyvern gargoyles all over. Stephen himself and someone who must have been his son jogged past while we were there and said hi.

    Now. On one side of the house three storeys of windows were boarded up.

    One’s interest was piqued, and the obvious answer to question “why” was that Stephen King was doing experiments for stories, and one of them had escaped from behind the boarded up windows and ended up being nominated by the Demsheviks…

    In this context PP may have been handed another harpoon for Carbon Tax Carnage. I hope he actually uses it. Recently the WEF has garnered a LOT of negative publicity, and, as a very close associate thereof, Carbon Tax Carnage should be forced to defend it.

    This could be fun….

  4. Brilliant speech by Matt Taibbi … with one small critique. Matt … everyone died at The Alamo. Everyone. All DEAD … even Davy Crockett. We lost. The Mexicans kicked our ass. Overwhelmed us in numbers and armaments. It was a last stand … LAST.

    I certainly hope we aren’t facing an “Alamo-ending” of our 1st Amendment. However, since I have been CANCELLED from ever commenting again on multiple platforms because of my … “homophobia” … even CANCELLED forever from Conservative Treehouse for the same reason … I don’t like the prospects of The First Amendment surviving.

      1. Ed: I hope your head doesn’t hurt too much from all that banging against a brick wall…

        My sympathies.

    1. The first amendment only constrains the government. You have no right to use someone else’s computer for free.

      Now the revelations that most major social media platforms were collaborating with and funded by the government makes them government entities, de facto if not strictly de jure. But if Sundance, Ace or Kate kicks you off their blog for being an ass, that’s not a first amendment issue.

      1. Tell me how it makes sense that the FCC can regulate the airwaves … privately owned television and radio networks … but there is no such regulation (read: ensure FREE and UNFETTERED … Free Speech … access) to the internets?

        I used to find it curious that Madelyn Murray O’Hair received airtime every Sunday morning to spew her Athiest drivel. The FCC MADE the networks carry her. Because of the First Amendment. Meh. I’d rather she be allowed her platform than we all lose FREE Speech.

  5. I wonder if Kerry secretly wished he was black. He’d have been president.

    As little as Kerry has achieved or deserved in his coddled life, Obama achieved and deserved less….

  6. Matt Taibbi has completely come around, given what he has seen with the Censorship Industrial Complex.

    The fact that many (most?) Democrats are impervious to truly hear what he is saying and will continue voting for tyrants who will censor them, is deeply disturbing.

  7. Irony of the Alamo is one of the reasons for the battle was Texas wanted to maintain slaves…Mexico didn’t.
