Don’t underestimate the stupidity of some people. The current governor’s father cleaned out the state pension during his time in office and this jackass was still able to convince teachers he was on their side because Bevin said some mean words about them.

I don’t really know any of the details, I just want to point out 2 oddities with the story. The fact that there was cheaper versions of the furniture that didn’t have names is odd as is the use of first names as a model name on furniture. Usually furniture is named for a place or uses a surname.

Of course those don’t mean anything nefarious was going on, just some unusual facts. Either way it makes for a creepy and interesting story.

Again you seem to be missing the point. Democrats have been winning the popular vote in races for governor and legislature in Kentucky for decades but have been losing the popular vote in Kentucky for President, senator, and representative.

Dude...so you are telling me they have the ability to steal nearly every Kentucky state election for the last 100 years but choose not to steal any national elections in the last 20? Have you heard the way they feel about McConnell and Rand Paul? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

I honestly don’t trust him. He is a little too polished and came out of nowhere. It seems like Kentucky has been the testing grounds for establishment politicians recently.

Kentucky is a weird state, it truly is purple. Despite voting Republican in pretty much every national election for the last 20+ years Democrats still control the state. Kentucky has only had 3 Republican governors since WW2 and none served a second term. Long story short, don’t trust Republican politicians from Kentucky, the good ones don’t make it very far.

The Tate home was owned by record producer Terry Melcher, a record producer acquainted with The Beach Boys. The issue with the theory you put forward is Manson knew Terry Melcher no longer owned that home and had already been to Terry Melcher’s new home before the murders at the Tate house.

And yes Manson was possibly experimented on as he had spent time in federal prisons that were later linked to MK Ultra experimentation

You don’t find it odd that an illiterate ex con was using the same strategies the CIA employed with the MK Ultra program?

Some of the things seem far fetched. Read the book and then look over the included documents and form your own opinion.

He was possibly even more than an MK Ultra test subject. Read “Chaos Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the 60’s.” Joe Rogan had the author on. He spent something like 20 years researching it. He includes scans of some of the documents and several pages of resources.

The summarized version is Manson was using strategies a CIA researcher on the MK Ultra project wrote were successful for brainwashing (a claim that was dropped from the article by the time it went before a congressional hearing and was only found because the researcher kept an original in his files at UCLA). That CIA researcher was working at the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic where Manson spent a great deal of time because his parole officer had an office there.

The parole officer was also tangentially connected to CIA cutout organizations if I remember correctly, and despite Manson continuously violating parole and being arrested multiple times, only ever wrote glowing reports about Manson and kept him out of prison.

There is a lot more information in there, like why they chose Polanski and Tate’s home, and how the CIA was running an operation to discredit the hippie movement and had embedded an operative close to the Manson family. It is a fascinating book and well worth a read.

Wait so that headline wasn’t sarcasm? They really meant disastrous? I thought they it was facetious but to be fair I didn’t read it.

I would go a step further and go with the original standard of owning property. Property owners have more skin in the game than renters. Just look at all the people that fled California to ruin other states. The vast majority probably lived in cities and owned no property.

Off topic but I swear I think this is the most versatile meme format. I have seen it used for everything from the beginning of the rut to what constitutes a shower gun. I have to upvote it whenever I see it.

Wait it is only 4 hours and 11 minutes? It felt longer. I read the books before I watched the movies and love both but the pacing in Peter Jackson movies always seems off.

I made the “mistake” of buying the extended versions and it just makes them such a time sink it is hard to work it in. 5 and a half hours for return of the king is a slog.

That’s what I was thinking, and then Aragorn drops in with the beard comment and destroys him. I need to watch those again.
