1. While the GOP purposely kills Americans, and the strain mutates and gets stronger

we sit here.

Like the proverbial ducks.

I dont have the answer, but this is not it.

2. Sheesh! Is that site still online?

Uffda!

8. "Uffda!"

One of my favorite words!

17. UFFDa Construction Company... ?

I remember landing at the airport in Minnesota and seeing UFFDa tee shirts.. I was clueless and I asked the sweet young thing behind the counter what UFFDa meant.. She turned red and said.....
"You know when you walk in a cow pasture and you step in something soft and squishy??"
UFFDA!! Ok, I got it.. Swedish? Norwegian? Finnish??

12. i wonder if the russians used breitbart to shift RW media their way from drudge

drudge used to be default republican establishment/pentagon/MIC feed for limbaugh and the talk radio megaphone - at least stuff they didn't want to give to limbaugh first to boost his royal certitude

breitbart showed about 2007 or so and immediately tied in with limbaugh's divorce from establishment GOP and Mccain, pushing palin on mccain with manafort as campaign cochair

3. No one gives a shit what he says anymore

60 Minutes has almost three times the viewers than the lil tiny whiny ''trip of lies'' to the Lincoln Memorial

[lame54]

4. What did they cover?

[malaise]

5. The New Jobless; the Farmers' Bailout and more - Full program here

19. 60 Minutes is crooked and works to elect Republicans.

The other night the big COVID coverage was about the economic devastation. It's dreadful and real, but the focus on economic devastation for ordinary people was exactly what serves McConnell and cabal best.

20. I haven't watched 60 minutes live since Lara Logan messed up years ago n/t

[Hortensis]

21. I almost never do, but my husband turned it on the other night

and I didn't ask him to save it for when he was alone. I usually do because I don't want my face freezing in the expressions it must wear while I watch for those oh-so-sympathetic betrayals that make Fox seem like relatively honest villains in comparison.

6. That is the most childish looking website ever. What a dweeb.

[Leith]

9. You're right

I checked out the main page of Drudge once. Once I right clicked and downloaded it, I checked the coding with Notepad. I was amazed (not so amazed) to see that it doesn't have a CSS file at all.

For those who haven't looked into website programming: the CSS is what styles the page: color, font, columns, what goes where on the page, and so on. Without it, there is nothing but a page full of black text, all the same size, on a white background. When a headline is a different size, that coding has been crammed into the HTML code.

It seems that Drudge never went beyond chapter 1 of Websites for Dummies.

13. Exactly what I like about it. All right there. No stupid

Pop ups. Very few graphics to slow the site down or navigate through. Part of the site's continued success.

He's just consolidating news stories. Only editorial is on what he picks to be in big letters or in red. There are many stories now that are critical of trump. Why trump criticized him a while back.

7. I prefer "The Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News"

10. Hmmm...

11. Trump on the road to being

the most alone man on the planet. He has alienated just about everyone possible. By November he will probably throw the few remaining under the bus as well. I get visuals of Howard Hughes toward the end of his life.

[Mike 03]

14. It's so gratifying when Trump is demolished in sources that he's

actually likely to see with his own eyes, and that his cronies can't keep hidden from him.

15. Mutant strain - of MAGA stupidity, COVID-19 - or BOTH??

Asking for a nation.

[Roland99]

23. A push to get moderate Repubs/never trumpers to vote Amash instead of Biden?
