attempt to please
That's exactly it when it comes to a lot of things - an attempt to please, to be popular in the right circles but not to actually do anything.
Goebbels had convenient demographics to hang blame on and so has the Democratic party these past few years. Playbook's the same if the look and feel are different. DT seems to be collapsing under the weight of his own bullshit. What happens when the monster has been slain and they might have to be proactive rather than reactive ?
Mm mm mm. ...just reading what I wrote above made zero sense lol, and if anyone made sense of it, you gotta problem.
I will, say in my defence that I'm different now in a big way, I care less about things I used to and have aquired a knack of making strangers feel like they've known me for years.
Hey PF I'm using your handle with my work mate because of your post about the " old recepe " so when I make a mistake my mate makes and ups mine and downplays his he gets a finger in the face along with " pig farmer ". Never going to let on even if his look becomes more puzzled than it is after a couple of days of it.
Been sat here trying to think of another industry / position of authority where it pays to be behind the curve instead of cutting one
Cool ! Have at it. Strange to think that something that fell out of my head stuck to people in another part of the planet, right
Lots of nazi sauce being liberally sprinkled around lately, myself included. A sign of the times we live in - not that there is a nazi problem other than the infestation in Ukraine that Russia is so thoughtfully trying - badly - to stomp out. I figure that's handled. No, it's the comparisons that seem so apt.
Actually, 'farmer' is something a coworker used to call me. He moved 'up here' from NY city and everything 'up here' is the howling wilderness to him. My wife was the same way - to her every woodland creature out back is a beaver of some kind. Her family looks at me like I should be sitting on a bridge playing a banjo. He modified it to 'pigfarmer' when I bought my Harley years ago. See, you got a hawg you are a pigfarmer ............. that I kind of liked and hung on to. He's long gone and thank Yahweh nobody else has hung some stupid nickname on me since, but it makes for a great interwebbish handle.Oh for sure yes, it happened at work and I made the quick comparison ( small beer in the scheme of things ) but there it was with genuine self justification on his part and for me I don't want to point it out any longer and for him he knows " pigfarmer " means I can't be arsed and has a personal element he can't make head nor tail of and doesn't want to ask because the answer will prove my point.
So good and a bud nipper hopefully.

I'm switched off to it now, push comes to shove the Reds will lie their way out of shame and defeat and claim a good result no matter what reality shows the rest of the world. The Blues would do the same in role reversal and vice versa, so they can all kiss my arse.They'll be disappointed then that the current estimates show the conflict moving at a much slower pace during the winter. Unless the godless commies really crack that nuke plant just for fun, or blow one of those dams they claim to have mined hopefully they'll settle down to a long winter's rest with visions of sugar plums and advanced weaponry in their heads.
Maybe the coming year will be ..... revealing ........and provide yet more drama on another front. This is like binge watching some series and you start to get really really really sick of it and bored and ready to move on and then wham ! Plot twist and you're hooked again.
Unless there is drama for lunch and sorrow for supper they go to bed hungry.
And that is why I quit paying attention to the news a long time ago.
I do watch it but switch off mentally with many topics involving another's plight. Have found a no nonsense alternative channel that focuses on playing down the dramatics.
The IRS coming for couches, TVs and wedding registries: Republicans put up fight against Biden rules that force Americans to fill out tax forms on all Venmo and PayPal transactions over $600
Republicans are crying foul after the IRS reminded Americans they will have to report their $600 transactions on Venmo and PayPal to the IRS. In a provision that the Biden administration claimed was to crack down on wealthy tax cheats, the American Rescue Plan required taxpayers add to their 1099-K 'gross payments for goods or services that exceed $600.' The IRS posted an explainer Tuesday reminding taxpayers the reporting threshold for 1099-K forms would be lowered from $20,000 to $600. It reduced the number of transactions that trigger receiving a form from 200 to 1. The change applies to payments on third-party processors, such as Venmo or Pay Pal, and is for transactions such as such as part-time work, side jobs or selling goods.
