I, am the Dan, In The Box

OIF Marine Vet that just wants love, peace and happiness from here on out. “Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job,"

Me: Ms. Wilson, you got something to say on Mallrats? Wilson: “About a million things, but I can’t express myself monosyllabically enough for you to understand.” Me: Are you quoting Brodie insulting the proprietor of the Fashionable Male? Wilson: “Snootchie bootchies!”

Emily Wilson gets one more piece on The Odyssey and then she needs to move on and let us know what she thinks about Mallrats

Republican Senators are voting to confirm Trump’s lawyer to be AG when it just came out that Capital One shut down Trump’s accounts under suspicion of money laundering and Trump wants exemption from being investigated for tax fraud. THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS.

Rand Paul on Morning Joe called Fauci a “Philosopher King.” The full term, from Plato’s Republic, is “Reluctant Philosopher King.” The reluctant being the most important part. It means the person in question doesn’t want power, but does his job out of a sense of duty to the public. Rand is a hack.

Probably worth reminding everyone who dismantled our cybersecurity and infrastrutrue security agency (CISA), as our water systems are being hacked in seven states right now. Trump. He has intentionally made our country less safe. Then he went and picked fights. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Republicans shunned the nation’s cyber agency. They’re urgently trying to save it.

Concerns about powerful artificial intelligence with hacking capabilities and the security of the upcoming midterm elections have shifted the opinions of some influential Trump allies.

“Trump can’t run for a third term.” Look, in this country one man shouldn’t be able to unilaterally start a war, but it turns out if congress and the Supreme Court let him? Here we are. Folks, be ready to march on the White House in 2028 to remove a squatter.

And the fraudsters (we know them), who say they are looking for fraud, insist fraud only happens in blue states so they can try to extort those states while real, convicted fraudsters get pardons from President Fraudster.

CT scan has confirmed I do not have pancreatic cancer. Additional tests have shown what I’m calling low D (the vitamin), and “insufficient” iron levels, are the true culprits of my exhaustion, not cancer. I was concerned for a minute. Gramps died of pancreatic cancer. It was ugly, he was very sad.

What goes through my brain when I hear Spain and Argentina in the same sentence. Spanish conquistadors permanently shaped Argentina by establishing its foundational cities (like Buenos Aires in 1536 and 1580), imposing the Spanish language and Catholic religion, and introducing horses and cattle.

We can’t safely eat lettuce because of Elon’s fuckery and don’t even get me started on USAID. I will not forget who and what this Nazi fuck is. He showed his true colors, even if the media wants to kiss his ketamined ass. He made our world less safe while he got richer. Fuck Elon Musk.

Hollywood Reporter projects the box office opening weekend of The Odyssey at $257 million globally.

Men, we need to stop other men from harassing women in public. The barely 21 bartender at the casino did not need your fifty-something creepy ass asking her name, age and telling her she should be a model. I interjected with “I too recently gave up on being a teen model.”

When people ask me to explain what being a dad is like I always think of how me and the Goober would take silly photos to send to my wife when she was working 12 hour shifts at Queens Medical in Honolulu. It is hard to put into words how awesome being the progenitor of a sentient human is. Amazing.

If you questioned whether the majority of people you interacted with were real, suggesting they might be robots in the 80’s and 90’s, they would of committed you. Now, if you don’t realize most of the people you interact with online are not real, you are crazy. www.pangram.com/blog/ai-in-y...

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.
