So right now the cable news networks are going over the Lewandowski/Fields shove video from the casino like it’s the fucking Zapruder tape. One douchebag who couldn’t apologize and then doubled down on being a dick has now wasted thousands of hours of time.
It’s the perfect metaphor for the last two decades of Republican governance.

I saw that and was going to link to nbc story in some thread. Forget it Jake, it’s Florida. And Buzzcut Bully is a Republican. I think I’ll have a nice glass of wine with dinner. Or even before, since Mr. Q will be piloting his GTI Wolfsburg to Louisville while I’m navigation (correcting google misunderstandings of local idiosyncracies as needed).

That corporate Democratic whore prosecutor sure has led an interesting life – sharing a bathroom with Cruz in law school, knowing Rubio while in the state legislature, spending time with Trump at his Florida resort (and 800 of his closest friends), being a registered Democrat from the South (so his vote doesn’t matter)…

@dr. bloor: I can’t come up with a witty response, but he quite likes it. Me, I’m delighted with the tealmobile, my 2009 oxygen blue MINI hardtop with a panoramic roof. Great mileage and drives like a 1970s British sports car, except it actually runs.

its a pretty obnoxious story all around. no way does his actions qualify as criminal, but like you said Cole, not even an apology is telling.

I’d make it five decades to cover Nixon, Reagan, and Gingrich’s Contract with America – but otherwise couldn’t have said it better.

@patroclus: I misread part of that as “spending time with Trump and his Florida escorts”. Hmmmmm.

Grrr. I give up. Stupid site won’t let me get out of fucking mobile view. Used to have this problem on this site for several years and I stopped visiting as a result because my eyesight isnt good and I can’t expand it on my iPad.
Oh well, I did notice I get more done without stopping here. Good luck and hope you figure out something better than whatever software POS you’re using for this site.
And yes, Lewandowski is quite the posterboy for Republican douchiness.

@dantanna: There’s a button all the way at the bottom that lets you switch – works fine for me on iPhone and iPad. But it’s dark blue on gray, so almost invisible.
LAO
Well, I’m just shocked.

If you can’t exit mobile view even after hitting the button on the bottom, you may need to delete the cookies on your device’s web browser.

1/2 frames per second is NOT a movie. It shows motion but the force involved is strictly guesswork. Her bruising should be enough evidence.

@a hip hop artist from Idaho (fka Bella Q): I’m in for Cracker Cure ™ when I finish making the brownies.
We had a very bright but ditzy friend who, after being told the restaurant we were meeting at was a half mile up the parkway to the right at the second light from his motel, let Google direct him over 15 miles with numerous turns to the locked back gate up the hill from our house behind the Safari Park. Didn’t trust his ability to follow our complicated directions.

@dantanna: hold down refresh button in browser and request desktop site. No idea why the mobile site is doing this, there is nothing to tweak for that. It’s on or off.

Well, I fussed about Dantana some, and when I hit the Post Comment button I got a standard secure connection failure error message.
Why did Dantana enter into B-J just long enough to bitch us out and then leave before any of the 4 or 5 people who tried to help could get with him. He was outa here! Idjit!
dantanna
Ok, before complaining here i’ve tried the button thing at the bottom of the site. It sometimes works, usually doesn’t.
Also tried deleting browse info, including cookies. Sometimes it works, usually it doesn’t.
I noticed that going to another site to make a change “take” sometimes worked. Usually not
I’ve stumbled across all of these strategies over the last couple few years before you guys mentioned it, but I am grateful to learn I’m not the only one who has to go through arcane rituals to read a post not in mobile view.
Alain I will try your suggestion but not tonight. It’s bedtime, past it for me and I’m not interesting in being frustrated with computers before bedtime, just my own mental health rule.
JR, you special flower you. I can’t check in here on your schedule. Also, I have a non-gov’t/consulting job where I usually have things to devote my attention to during most of the day.
Yes I read these threads often even days after they’re posted but that’s just me who almost always doesn’t have time to do it within 3 hours after the thread is posted.
dantanna
Ok, broke my rule, and I’ve learned not to break hard-learned rules. And yep, no joy.
Alain, where is this refresh button on an iPad browser? The clockwise curved arrow at the right of the browser’s address field? Holding on that does nothing. I’m guessing that’s what you mean by a refresh button because tapping that usually causes a refresh, but as to an actual button widgit that does a refresh I’ve no clue where it is.
I’m on an iPad, are you thinking iPad too?
Steeplejack
@dantanna:
Your “iPad browser” could be Safari, Chrome or something else. Based on your comment, the “clockwise curved arrow” is probably the refresh button. You just have to press it, not hold it.
For future reference, it’s always helpful to mention your platform (iPad, Mac, Windows, cell phone, etc.) when seeking help or a workaround. The desktop and mobile versions of Balloon Juice each work slightly differently, and have different problems, on each platform.
I asked a fellow commenter who (I think) uses an iPad to weigh in, so maybe if you check back later there will be more specific information.
