A source at MSNBC reveals that chaos erupted yesterday morning when an enraged Rachel Maddow stormed after Mika Brzezinski backstage, igniting a fiery confrontation that left onlookers stunned.

Witnesses say Maddow, visibly seething and red-faced, cornered Brzezinski in a hallway and unleashed a tirade, branding her a “sanctimonious fraud” and an “authoritarian enabler” over her meeting with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

The two women had not spoken for over a week. According to a witness, the altercation left Brzezinski visibly shaken and in tears. A producer stepped in to separate the pair, physically guiding Maddow away from the scene.

NEW: The Kentucky judge who was executed in his own office is accused of running a "brothel" out of the courtroom, allegedly forcing women to have s*x for favors.

District Judge Kevin Mullins was k*lled by his close friend, Sheriff Shawn 'Mickey' Stine.

According to a woman who was r*ped by one of Stine's deputies, Mullins was seen having s*x with a girl in the judge's chambers.

"I seen Judge Mullins having s*x with a girl... In his office, in the judge’s chambers," the woman, Sabrina Adkins, said in a police interview.

Adkins was r*ped by former deputy sheriff Ben Fields, saying he"does have some videotapes of some stuff in the judge’s chambers… just with girls, s*xual and stuff."

Adkins claimed this was part of a s*xtortion scam and involved "higher-ups."

Adkins attorney Ned Pillersdorf said, "it’s like they were running a brothel out of that courtroom."

97 I used to have a full-time job with an outdoor safety and rescue organization. I was kind of a hot shot and worked in a semi-official leadership role. A lot of our volunteers were medical professionals, nurses and doctors and whatnot. When you meet someone like that, it's common to ask what department they work in. Most of our people were in Emergency, which always makes for good shop-talk.

There was one older lady who was very nice, but not up to the physical demands of heavy outdoor work, so she was only with us for a couple of seasons. One time, just to make conversation, I asked her what department she was in.

Pediatric Oncology.

110 When I was growing up in Ankara Turkey, there was no television, no English radio except VOA on Saturday nights and that sounded like it was being broadcast from Tajikistan over a string. So, when I was a preteen, we collected comic books. I probably read many hundreds of comics during those years and I loved the Ghost Who Walks. We didn't collect, collect them. We read them, fill up a cardboard box, and then trade your box for someone else's box of "new" comics.

“As Iran is removing forces from east Syria, some units like the Afghan Fatemiyoun brigade, are being transferred from the north to Damascus and Latakia, as well as the Sayyida Zeinab area. Iran’s Afghan & Pakistani foreign legion might be the ones asked to go down with the ship.”

They have the industry and the know-how and the ability to be grade-A world leading bad guys, but whenever they get close they implode their own industry with strikes, or their government collapses, or the Germans invade them, or Talleyrand organizes *ANOTHER* coup, or the Germans invade again, or...

They can get close, but it always ends with "Curses! Foiled again! I'll get you next time, perfidious world!"

188 I knew about the Adele phenomena, her ascent to fame, record-breaking album sales, and I had skimmed a couple of her songs on YouTube.

Then I hear a track on a feed I had from either Prime Music or Pandora, and thought it was a country star singing. The tune was Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love." It was Adele.

Now I'm hooked. On that one and only one other, "Easy on Me." All else seems sappy.

I'm wearing my fingers out, playing these two on guitar.

267 The best explanation I’ve seen of the Hundred Years War (well at least the last half of it) is in the epilogue to Henry V.
“This star of England. Fortune made his sword,
By which the world’s best garden he achieved
And of it left his son imperial lord.
Henry the Sixth, in infant bands crowned King
Of France and England, did this king succeed,
Whose state so many had the managing
That they lost France and made his England bleed,
Which oft our stage hath shown. And for their sake,
In your fair minds let this acceptance take.”

278 It was 29F when my pizza was late tonight, and I went outside to smoke, and kill 10 minutes waiting for it to get done.

This is when you can see the difference between people raised in Appalachia and the Rockies.

I was standing there in a thin cotton button-down shirt, feeling fine, while everyone else coming out was bundled up in warm jackets and hats, and complaining about the cold.

280 Don't know if this was mentioned, and it's a bit of obscure Ace trivia.

Did anybody think of the old podcast "bit" Ace did about Bernie Sander publishing a nudie mag or maybe pornos under a pen name of something Butts? The whole Hunter deButts jogged my memory and I had a hearty laugh about it.

And this comes after a pretty wet and warm fall. I think for the Asheville area, this was the wettest fall and warmest Nov on record.

For us down below in GSP area, it didn't set any records, but it came close, and these will be number 3 and 4 wettest and warmest or something like that.

Seasons are meteorological for these purposes, so fall is Sept, Oct, and Nov.

284 I have lived in WI and AZ, and yeah, temp perception is what you are used to. 50 degrees in AZ and the natives are wearing ski jackets. 50 in WI they wear shorts. I liked heat, which is partially why I relocated, but the WI types start whining when it makes 80.

Posted by: azjaeger at December 07, 2024 12:58 AM (3/XaG)

285 80 is more than enough heat for me, tyvm.

Hubby likes *hot* weather. Yuck. I'll go more North if he passes first. Or higher elevation.

Those cartels need to be on the receiving end of some actual US military action. Nothing big at first, just slap 'em around and blow up some shit, some hits on their various big shots maybe. A message, stop fucking around, there's a new sheriff in town, and he ain't gonna put up with your continued shit.

#EXCLUSIVE Top Mexican cartel leaders are ordering that members retaliate against agents in the San Diego sector by shooting at them—The order comes in response to a Border Patrol agent hitting a suspected cartel member with their patrol vehicle during what CBP describes as a “smuggling event.” The individual got up and ran back to Mexico.

The internal memo obtained via sources suggests the shooting could happen any day now and remind agents to remain vigilant.

I want to see Trump take office and pardon every American that isn't in government, tied to elections, in Wall Street, in the healthcare industry, and in finance. Everyone, for the past 11 years, and for the rest of time. Poof. Tell America "If it's good enough for the Bidens then don't you think it's good enough for you? Anything on you from then or now on can only be at the state level. No American can easily commit federal crimes any longer. No, let me rephrase that. No federal agency can easily pursue Americans any longer. And now we're going to go after criminals like the cartels, and the child s3x slavers, and the Epstein and Hollywood bunch, and the people that damaged our nation and election process. And I would like your support."

312 Howdy all, a weird day here, I guess mostly positive.

Jules had her dialysis port removed, her kidneys have recovered enough since the septic shock on 11/8. This is going to be a long road to hoe to recovery.

Then Dad's new rehab place called, is he a dnr? I'm the poa but I said ask him, I knew he wanted that. But the best news is I was able to get him in this place after the other one tossed him for refusing pt.

It turns out the head admin knows Dad, she used to date the owner of the little rural bar he liked to stop in. She said she spent many hrs talking to "Rog". I think he will get the best care there in his final days.

Bar buddies are like Horde buddies, but they are much closer geographically.
