I've always felt that Captain Oblivious as a moniker would be more apropos.

Perhaps women haven't complained because they are aware of the origins of the word:

Redundant.

It probably wouldn't have made that much of a difference if it had been full. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-10/as-flames-raged-in-palisades-a-key-reservoir-nearby-was-offline State to probe why Pacific Palisades reservoir was offline, empty when firestorm exploded [...] DWP officials have said that demand for water during an unprecedented fire made it impossible to maintain any pressure to hydrants at high elevations. Had the reservoir been operable, water pressure in the Palisades would have lasted longer on Tuesday night, said former DWP general manager Martin Adams, an expert on the city’s water system. But only for a time. “You still would have ended up with serious drops in pressure,” Adams said in an interview Thursday. “Would Santa Ynez [Reservoir] have helped? Yes, to some extent. Would it have saved the day? I don’t think so.” A DWP official acknowledged that the reservoir’s absence likely contributed to some diminished pressure and dry hydrants in upper regions of the Palisades.

How can Karen Bass be called a DEI mayor? She was not appointed mayor, she was elected.

Unbelievable isn't it?

Pretty sure I saw that several times in the forum and probably in this thread.

According to an unanimous jury verdict he did sexually assault E. Jean Carroll and defamed her over it - so that is true.

Offering $1.5M for sex? That can't be right.

I believe you. I never heard of her before today.

Quit reading there. Market tabloid trash.

Yeah, he's nuts, but we knew that before the election.

Are you all on board here with Trump taking Greenland and The Panama Canal by military force?

A nice story, but it is a fake quote. It has never been authenticated that Churchill said that (and as noted at the link, it would have been out of character for Churchill as he was not known for making misogynistic wisecracks") https://richardlangworth.com/quotes-churchill-never-said-4

False.

Notice that the poster of this edited YouTube clip, The Based Conservative, describes Cryer as an "LGBTQ actor" which serves no purpose outside of pointing out his sexual orientation to the audience and is not relevant to most of the things that were discussed.

Yes, it was a Toronto police chief who said that, but it was not Justin Trudeau.

From a Canadian: https://x.com/MarciIen/status/1876439264512151616 Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau’s leadership didn’t just reshape Canada — it redefined what it means to lead with heart. He’s shown us how to dream bigger, fight harder for equity, and stand firm in the face of division.
