My weekly collection of some of the best posts on the Internet is out! Enjoy Just for Xeets and Giggles. And don’t let your sense of geography and time warp as badly as Roger Stone’s. Link in the thread!
Just for Xeets and Giggles (05.18.24)

The ex-president held a rally in New Jersey, bragging publicly that he will be able to flip the state. (Narrator: He lost New Jersey by 16 points in 2020; he won’t flip it in 2024.) He also bragged that there were 100,000 people in attendance. When images showed this was a wild overestimation, his allies began posting “evidence.”

Stone is a career fabulist and hyperbolist. He probably neither knew nor cared where that picture was taken. He knew it was of a big crowd and that at least some people would believe it was a Trump rally. After that, it's only gravy that he's also got us talking about it.

As much fun as it is to mock them for their mistakes, please note that only our side is laughing.

@jaykuo I might forget that dad joke about veggies at the end, but I do know another one that's... unvegetable.
@jaykuo isn't that a music festival nothing to do with Trump.
@jaykuo Enjoyed your list as always - minus the hard links to the dead bird site. At some point in the future, when Xitter is history, your blog will no longer be viewable - why not link to copies of the original content?
@jaykuo I always think Carnival at Rio looks exactly like the Wildwoods.
@LinuxAndYarn @jaykuo
Geography probably isn't on the skill card of Maga goons.
Then again there's probably not much on it anyway.

The Republican Distortion Field, aka propaganda, at work.

How media can dish up a Truth Sandwich to deal with political lies:

1. Start with the truth.

2. Indicate the lie.

3. Return to the truth.

Always repeat truths more than lies.

@jaykuo the mountains off wildwood nj are some of my favorites. Try the linguica.
@jaykuo of course Biden can't draw crowds like Rod Stewart.
Who wants to go to a political rally?
A music concert is much more fun

@jaykuo

Roger Stone is a Nazi kooking for a uniform and people to crush.

He is a puppy killer only for now.

Filth not a joke.
