Joe Lieberman, 2000 vice presidential nominee, dies at 82
Source: Politico

Joe Lieberman, a longtime senator from Connecticut who became the first Jewish American to be nominated on a major party’s ticket, died Wednesday. He was 82.

Lieberman’s family stated that he died “due to complications from a fall. He was 82 years old. His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed.”

Halfway through his 24-year Senate career, Lieberman was chosen as Al Gore’s running mate for the 2000 presidential election. The ticket lost one of the closest elections in American history. “No Jew had ever sought such a lofty office,” wrote the authors of “Jews in American Politics.”

“The net effect of the nomination,” they added, “has been to change the perception of what is possible for Jewish candidates for office for all time.”

Judas hugged Lieberman today saying, "Great work you did in 2008 backing McCain instead of your own party's nominee, Obama."

Satan hugged Lieberman today saying, "Great work you did too supporting the great lie that Iraq was a threat to the US instead of pointing out the great lie about WMD."

What UGP fancies as a "justice spell" comes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead (except for the anachronistic and ana-geographic stone sake cup), sort of. In the Book of the Dead it's not a "justice spell", it's the judgment of a dead person overseen by Osiris and conducted by Anubis. If their heart weighs less (= is less burdened with whatever the Egyptians called sin) than the Feather of Ma'at (the goddess of truth) then the dead person's Ka = soul) enters eternal life. If their heart weighs more, then the dead person's heart is devoured by the demon Ammit, making the dead person soulless. In UGP's :stoner:-fantasy she fancies herself as Anubis or Osiris carrying out judgment against the not dead Donald Trump. How this relates to Election Day is a mystery deep within UGB's :stoner: .
Oh yeah, that ritual!
Long ago, when I was really little (early- mid 80's), there was a 'Sesame Street' special of all things which had a variation on that ritual.
The plot involved Big Bird getting locked in a museum overnight. He befriends the ghost of a young prince from ancient Egypt who's bound to Earth and prevented from joining his family in the Afterlife by some sort of curse.
To break it, Big Bird has to help the prince perform a similar ritual (Minus the soul- eating part).
While the prince's heart is initially too heavy in the ritual, Big Bird in a pretty epic display of cojones tells off Osiris for how unfair this is, that the prince's heart is heavy from how lonely he had been for thousands of years. This cheers the prince up, so his heart becomes lighter than the feather and he is allowed into the Afterlife.
Gotta love how a freaking 'Sesame Street' special portrays the ritual more accurately than UGP, who claims to be such a devout devotee of that outdated religion!

It's B'more so it ill be the Freddie Gray Memorial Bridge.

The lies that Trump told according to the media: 9 million illegals have come across the open border under Biden.

Fact Check: Actual government figures indicate that 8,998,734 undocumented residents have crossed the border under glorious rule of great leader Biden. Trump is liar.

Repugnant AP Tries to Inject Race Into Tragic Baltimore Bridge Collapse, Drags Up Namesake's Slavery Past

Well, that didn’t take long. The Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore early Tuesday after being struck by a cargo ship, and the bodies of all the victims have not even been recovered yet. The economic catastrophe now facing Baltimore will certainly last months, but it has the potential to harm the region for years. Grieving families are still processing the loss of their loved ones even as investigators try to piece together what happened.

Yet the Associated Press thought now would be a good time to bring up the history of the bridge’s namesake—"Star-Spangled Banner” lyricist Francis Scott Key—and drag up his ties to slavery. Because what better time than in the aftermath of a horrific accident is there to try to make the story about racism when it has absolutely nothing to do with race?

That’s our laughingstock national press today, folks.

While the first verse of the anthem is the most well-known, there are a total of four stanzas; in the third, there’s a reference made to a slave. Key, whose family owned people and who owned enslaved people himself, supported the idea of sending free Black people to Africa but opposed the abolition of slavery in the U.S., according to the National Park Service’s Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine.

His personal history has made him a controversial figure in some quarters; in June 2020, a statue of him in San Francisco was taken down.

Go ahead and say it, Associated Press: the bridge probably deserved what it got. That’s the point of your story, admit it.

I’m not saying Key’s past should be glossed over; historians are absolutely free to discuss it—but what I am saying is this is 100 percent not the time to delve into it. The survivors and the families of those who perished certainly aren’t focused on that, and neither are the millions of empathetic Americans watching the tragedy unfold and feeling for those affected.

Post 9/11, do you remember any stories in the immediate aftermath about Lt. General Edward Lawrence Logan, a Spanish-American war hero from South Boston? I certainly don’t. Boston’s Logan Airport, where the 9/11 attackers boarded the planes that eventually crashed into the Twin Towers, is named after him. Yet somehow, journalists and readers thought the 3,000-plus deaths and the collapse of our iconic towers was the story of the day, not who the freakin’ airport was named after. That, and they evidently couldn't use his background to incite racial animus, so the press didn’t bother.

I’d love to believe that some enterprising reporter thought to themselves, “Hmm, this is a terrible tragedy; I could write a background story on this bridge and relate the history of our national anthem.” But I don’t believe that for a second (most "journalists" despise the Star-Spangled Banner)—I believe the writer went, “Oh! There’s a racial angle. Let’s hit it pronto despite the fact that it has nothing to do with anything!”

The stark cold fact for the primitives is that if they have any hopes of coming in better than third place in the presidential election later this year is that they'd better pay close attention to what brooklynite has to say.

But they won't.

Trump 50%
Kennedy 35%
Biden 15%

Eco-Leechyer RFK Jr. is polling that high? :o He's probably taking way more votes away from LIEden than from Trump. Some conservatives might like his anti-Covid-vax stance, but when they look at the rest of his record and the Prog-Loon he chose to be his VP candidate, I don't think they'll buy what he's selling.

brooklynite douses DU-folks "perfect" stories with cold reality so often it's kind of amazing that he hasn't yet gotten a granite pizza delivery.

We do know one thing for sure.

The new bridge will not be named Francis Scott Key Bridge. 

Probably George Floyd or something. ::)

Check out the DATE of when Biden suffered a COVID rebound AFTER taking Paxlovid.

The HCQ/Ivermectin kerfuffle started in spring or summer 2020. How do you get around the anachronism with an event that happened two years afterward? Your conspiracy theory simply cannot work. Time machines are a century-old H. G. Wells fiction, not a bogey-Pfizer invention.
