LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!

They did a controlled demolition on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Not much to say about it, but drat that's a good picture. Imagine being the guy who had to climb that thing carrying demolition charges to place.

Probably mentally speccing out the new Cayenne he was buying with what he was getting paid for it.

Do it one at a time or all at once so you don't have to make multiple trips? Decisions, decisions.

Very similar. but it was a World Cup qualifier so it had international implications including statements from heads of state and Irish parliament. In that sense the US sports thing that comes to mind for me is how Florida’s politicians reacted to FSU being snubbed from the CFB playoff.

And they're supposed to be the wheelers and dealers? Bargain-makers? And they can't squeeze more than 5 figures from a billion dollar corp?

Just a truly shameful lack of ambition from our politicians.

A lot of this is because cash bribes are blatantly illegal so if either side is at all competent they’ll be providing rides on jets+nice place to stay for vacation, loans they would not normally qualify for, do nothing NGO board jobs for relatives and so forth.

Also this cannot be stated explicitly. Blagojevich’s only crime was saying he wanted to sell Obama’s senate seat, the deals he described are legal.

Presidential debate news: Biden and Trump both told the Presidential debate commission to go gently caress themselves. There will be at least two debates, one next month, in a studio with no crowd.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-willing-debate-trump-twice/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=431066055

Key bit from Biden that likely pushed things: "Donald. I hear you're free on Wednesdays." Also that there would be no crowds and microphones turned off to prevent (Donnie's) interruptions. Donnie probably attends the first, gets obliterated, then doesn't show up again. Also, RFK is out.

Edit: well that moved fast

Honestly a bit surprised they're both on board for a debate but still plenty of time for it all to fall apart.

Checking back they only held 2 of 3 planned debates in 2020 since Donny got the 'vid.

AND he was still stuck with COVID when he debated Biden the one time, with his family all removing masks in the audience to be performative. All before vaccines existed.

Also, Donnie's gaming things out already by accepting an October third debate. Just so happens to be through Fox News, one of the organizations not in Biden's criteria. Surprise!

NYPD IDENTIFIES MAN WANTED AFTER ACTOR STEVE BUSCEMI RANDOMLY ATTACKED IN MANHATTAN
KIPS BAY, Manhattan (WABC) -- Police have identified the man wanted after actor Steve Buscemi was punched in the face during a random attack in Manhattan last week.

The NYPD identified the man as 50-year-old Clifton Williams.

The latest development comes after the 66-year-old Brooklyn native and current Manhattan resident was slugged in the face while he was walking on Third Avenue near 27th Street this past Wednesday.

Video in the media player above is from a previous report.

Witnesses say Buscemi ran after his attacker.

Buscemi was taken to Bellevue Hospital where he was treated for bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye.

On Sunday night, his publicist released a statement saying in part,

He is ok and appreciates everyone's well wishes, though incredibly sad for everyone that this happened while also walking the streets of New York."

Buscemi's "Boardwalk Empire" co-star Michael Stuhlbarg was hit in the back of the neck with a rock while walking in Manhattan's Central Park on March 31. Stuhlbarg chased his attacker, who was taken into custody outside the park.

Apparently Buscemi is the second Boardwalk Empire actor to be assaulted.
