Today In Biden Land

[Master]

Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that she always thought herself to be a Republican until an episode of 30 Rock she watched as a teenager changed her perception.

The Hunger Games actor revealed in 2020 that she voted for Republican candidate John McCain in the 2008 presidential election when he ran – and lost – against Democrat Barack Obama.

In Vogue’s October cover story, Lawrence recalled watching 30 Rock at home when she was 16, during which Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) uttered a line that struck a chord with her: “I’m not a crazy liberal. I just think people should drive hybrid cars.”

According to the article, travel opened Lawrence’s eyes to the concentration of wealth at the top of society around the world. For her, republicanism had meant: “Why should my taxes pay for your haughty lifestyle?”

Now, she sees that: “Nobody likes to see half their paycheck go away, but it made sense to me. Yeah, for the greater good, I guess it makes sense.”

Lawrence explained via Twitter in 2020: “I grew up in a Republican family and voted for John McCain in 2008, but through Obama’s presidency, and growing up to realise I was voting against my own rights, I am proud to say I am a Democrat.”

The actor was a vocal critic of former US president Donald Trump, recalling on a 2016 episode of The Graham Norton Show that she tried to track the politician down at a concert they were attending in order to yell “f*** you” at him.

Elsewhere in the Vogue interview, Lawrence expressed her frustration with the gender pay gap in Hollywood following reports that she earned $5m less than Leonardo DiCaprio for Don’t Look Up.

“It doesn’t matter how much I do. I’m still not going to get paid as much as that guy, because of my vagina?” she said of the common discrepancy.

Lawrence also revealed her infant son’s name for the first time and spoke about intending to get an abortion in her twenties before suffering a miscarriage.

Those aren't questions, that is a torrent of incoherent rude screeches from a group of flag burning kitten kicking hyenas . Said no one, said Trump apple polishers when he did the same and often sat there like a lump. Who was the fella he was meeting with I wonder.

"torrent... of... incoherent... rude... screeches... from... a... group... of... flag... burning... kitten... kicking... hyenas"

You haven't lost your touch, @Spicoli

"Screeches" and "kitten-kicking hyenas" were my favorite parts.

Agree 100%.



On another note... WHY is it that anyone expects ANY questions to be heard... much less answered... in what pretty much amounts to mayhem with a bunch of microphones being shoved forward from the crowd??

Is the notion of crowd control and orderly process FOREIGN to everyone there??




BTW... a shout-out to "Trump apple polishers" as well.

[NoSavingByTheBell]

the screeching is Biden's handlers drowning out the reporters who are trying to get their questions in. Every single time just about. "Thank you! Thank you! OK! OK! Let's go! Thank you! Thank you!"

“Crisis Of Crimes”: New Orleans Becomes Murder Capital Of America

Progressives in top city leadership positions have helped transform New Orleans into the murder capital of America.

WSJ reported the Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico, recorded the highest homicide rate of any major city so far this year, with 41 homicides per 100,000 residents.

Metropolitan Crime Commission Inc., a nonprofit that works on crime-reducing strategies in the city, said the homicide rate is up 141% compared with the same period in 2019. It pointed out carjackings are up 210%, shootings 100%, and armed robberies up 25%.

“The homicide rate is on pace to surpass last year’s rate, which was the worst since Hurricane Katrina in 2005,” WSJ noted.

Hey, we won something . Don't remind me. But it has less to do with progressive than it does straight flat-out incompetence and nonperformance in office. Folks don't get stuck on that party stuff mostly. Cantrell is in over her head and has personalized being called out on it. Teedy makes Mayor Ray Nagin look tolerable and cannot even say the word "crime" in most interviews. Seriously. But it's long beyond the point of simply the politicians making the cure. She gotta go

Agreed. My wife and I spent 16 nights in New Orleans (8 in the French Quarter then 8 in the Garden District) in January 2019......it was rough here & there (at night) but coming from NYC we could easily deal with it, was more tame actually than NYC. Lovely time there we had. Great food, great street music, great drinks, great architecture........ but to go back there now, not too sure until Teedy gotta go for sure. Would love to go back another 16 nights! Them Po Boys, them oysters....etc.... delish!
