Friday Night Open Thread: Why Can’t I Find Anything More Pleasant To Talk About?


The Democrats’ Blueprint for Permanent Power

American Greatness ^ | November 10, 2026 | Stu Cvrk

Two new states, a packed Supreme Court, the end of the filibuster, an end run around the Electoral College, federal control of elections, and a government apparatus for policing “disinformation” are not a plan to save democracy. Taken together, they are a plan to make a future Democrat Party majority permanent.


 

Quote of the Day

 

At least we’ll always have Quote of the Day.

 

“In the red states, we got too used to winning easily. Far too used to it. We got so used to winning that it never occurred to us that we might not win, and it never occurred to us that we might have to work to win. We forgot that we need to earn votes, that we don’t just inherit them by right. Sure, some marquee candidates were awful,  but it wasn’t just the marquee candidates who lost. It was everyone from governors down to assistant deputy dog catchers. If you had an R by your name, you were about as popular as an openly herpetic participant in a polycule orgy.” ~~ Kurt Schlichter

Bond Girl Technical Difficulties

Welp, this time at least it isn’t WordPress. Microsoft went haywire today. Not just us this time but it screwed up something with my accessing my excel files with all my information for not just the Bond girls but also the Babesleaga. I keep getting denied access being told I do not have permission to access. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem chime in otherwise I do not know when or if I can do any updating for the forseeable future. And I will be damned if I’m forking over $100.00 a year to Microsoft to access my own files. Goddamn Bill Gates.


 


 


 

Heck! Tell Mr. Bruesewitz I’ll Make Political Tweets for $5,000 a Pop, and Disclose It, Too

Laura Loomer made political posts for pay without disclosing, ex-Trump aide claims
The Jerusalem Post | Nov 8, 2026 

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer has taken payments from private clients to publish political posts on social media without disclosing them, The Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing Alex Bruesewitz, a former Trump campaign aide, and three other people familiar with the arrangements…

Bank transaction emails and a wire transfer statement seen by the paper reportedly show four payments totaling more than $60,000 to Loomer and to King Breaker Media, a Florida-based company registered in her name, since May 2025…

Bruesewitz first made his allegations against Loomer public on X on Thursday. In an interview with The Washington Post, he confirmed that he had paid Loomer for posts throughout 2025, though he did not say which of his clients he had done this for…

“He paid me to make a one-page research document for him, and then he wanted me to distribute the information. And that’s what I did,” Loomer told the news outlet, denying the claim.

“I certainly don’t charge $5,000 for a tweet,” Loomer told The Washington Post. “I’m not some influencer that makes money from tweeting,” she added. “My business is public affairs and opposition research. I also have a media company. It’s not illegal to make a living in America.”

Yet.  Depending on your party.

And can one get back pay?


 


 

Quote of the Day

 

True dat.

 

The GOP is always better when it’s in the minority in either chamber of Congress. It’s always easier to stomp feet, shake fists, and then say, “Golly gosh gee, we just can’t get anything done while the Democrats are in charge.” Republicans tend to be much more aggressive when proposing legislation that they know won’t go anywhere. Paralysis sets in only when they win elections. ~~ Stephen Kruiser

Quote of the Day

 

I want you to see this.

 

“Pundits condemn President Trump’s decision to bomb the nuclear facilities in Iran as the catalyst for electoral failure. I don’t care: I am glad Trump did it. If doing the right thing costs him congressional majorities, so be it. Part of making America great again is defending America from threats both foreign and domestic. President Trump has put America first, and that included taking out the megalomaniacal Ayatollahs and the IRGC.

Trump has put America first by cracking down on legal immigration and mass legal immigration, protecting kids and families, keeping men out of women’s sports, and improving our economy with drastic deregulation and energy production. Instead of measuring his successes, voters complained about pain at the pump. What’s the point of cheap gas if your city gets wiped out in a nuclear holocaust?

The angry Republicans and Independents who voted for Trump in 2024 will chime: “President Trump said no more wars. And he should have known that ‘No new wars’ means No New Wars to us!”

What planet do these people live on?” ~~ Arthur Schaper
