Good morning my little rapscallions, and what a wonderful morning it is as the government is still partially shutdown and Trump pulled an absolutely fantastic troll. The best part was that he waited just a few hours before they were leaving before dropping it on them, after they had all loaded onto a bus to head out, causing this hilarity.

I have always been curious as to what happened to her.
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
That’s all I got for today, I’ll leave you with a song and move on with my day.
Morning Clash. Mmmmmmm. Tasty!
Joe Strummer!
My 13 year old daughter loves the Clash and really loves this song. They’re one of the few bands I don’t change the channel.
Play this one for her.
Well, I was walking down the high road…
As a matter of fact, today will be all Clash, all the time.
Here’s one that Mick Jones once called his favorite Clash song.
Stay Free!
If you have not already done so, may I recommend watching Straight To Hell.
You may! It’s on this weekend’s list. Thanks!
With Joe Strummer as the hero, Elvis Costello as a wacky waiter, and the girl who played Nancy in Sid and Nancy as a very pregnant damsel in distress.
The song in this movie “Salsa y Ketchup, just tell me and I’ll fetch up” will be your new earworm.
Yes, yes it will. IIRC, Karl the wiener kid is played by Zander Schloss, the bassist for The Circle Jerks.
I always wondered why her nickname was “Squeaky”…..
No, no you did not.
I do now. So what’s the answer?
You live in the land of perversion so just use your imagination, Gaijan.

I thought you were talking about Thomas Fromme!
A Federal Appeals Court lifted an injunction from an Austin judge that forbid Texas from stripping Planned Parenthood of Medicaid funds.
Everybody knows that abortion providers have a constitutional right to receive Medicaid payments.
Everyone knows that organizations that give millions of dollars to Democrat campaigns have a constitutional right to taxpayer funding.
I’m ambivalent regarding the abortion debate but think that Planned Parenthood should be de-funded. Does that make me a shitlord?
And a misogynist who hates womyn.
Checks two boxes.
They are not funded. They literally do not receive a dime from the government which is not a fee for service. Now one can argue whether medicaid should exist and one can argue whether medicaid should have the right to discriminate against providers based on whether they provide abortions but it is a lie to say that planned parenthood is funded by the government. The are merely one of the many providers who provide health services to medicaid patients and they are compensated for those services as any other provider should be.
They literally do not receive a dime from the government which is not a fee for service.
They receive $70M of title X funding.

Are autistics some hot draw on the sexual market? This is the opposite of my impression from real-life observation.

We have a state hospital for retards/autistic/otherwise mentally undeveloped. If you visit there you will see some of the creepiest people imaginable. You will also see patients.
I think the Feds drag one of the staff out of there in cuffs at least once per year.
I worked in that field when I was young. Most of our referrals that came from the big institutions had been messed with.

Nope, nothing of the kind.
109) Thoughts not Sermons from my family’s recent visit to Universal Studios, Orlando:
a. When we went to Disney five years ago, I was horrified at the obesity, especially the large numbers of people so fat they required little electric carts to get around. Much less of that at Universal. Not that everybody was skinny, but I just saw a lot less of the depressing gross obesity. In fact, despite skewing somewhat older than the Disney crowd, it was all around a fitter, hipper crowd. Theory: Disney = Wal-Mart, Unversal = Target?
b. Speaking of fat/fitness, my wife’s Fitbit had us at 18,000+ steps every day we were there. That’s a lot of steps! My calves were aching every evening. A trip to Universal might be good training for hiking the Appalachian trail.
But I felt like every meal we ate was probably 1,500-2,000 calories, plus sugary snacks during the day. When we got back, my wife and I had both put on about a pound. Calories vs. non-stop walking = calories win
c. Harry Potter World was kind of awesome. I’m on the record here as thinking Harry Potter is a “cookie-cutter mash-up of fantasy tropes written in a turgid style” (LNS #48). But the Universal Harry Potter was so much fun—the rides, the shopping streets, the food—so much attention to detail. Even after the third day we were discovering new things there. My children were able to tell me exactly how everything corresponded to the books—dozens of examples. The kids even bought wands (a dozen styles available, allegedly to correspond to the purchaser’s personality) that allowed them to make “magic” things happen in the area (for instance, waving the want in a certain way could make flowers bloom in a shop window, or make a fish in a fountain spit water). Just incredibly well thought out, to the extent it made me re-think my aversion to the books.
Hypotheses: 1) I only read the first Harry Potter. Maybe the later books really deliver on the world-building only hinted at in the first book? 2) Or, maybe I was rolling my eyes so hard at Rowling’s derivative ideas and clichéd writing I failed to notice all the really cool stuff. 3) Or, maybe Universal is simply really good at wringing the fun stuff out of worn-out clichéd entertainments.
d. E.T. is utterly forgotten. We passed by the E.T. ride, which despite being nearly empty my kids had no desire to visit. We did stop in the E.T. gift shop, shared with Spongebob. Everybody there was on the Spongebob side, the E.T. side was desolate. And among patrons in the park, tons of people wearing Marvel t-shirts, Jurassic Park backpacks, Harry Potter whatever—but not one single person with anything E.t.-related. For being the highest-grossing movie of the 1980s, E.T. has sure gone down the memory hole.
Just the thought of the crowds ismaking me horrified. Large numbers of people in one place aggravate me. I think there’s a maximum density per unit area where I’m nonplussed, but theme park crowds… no thanks.
I am with you on that. I would rather stab my eyes out with a rusty fork than go to a theme park. Hell I get pissed trying to navigate a grocery store if there are many people. It’s like the night of the living dead in there.
*Hint. Walk faster than a slow motion half step per ten seconds. Also, if you need to stop and look for something dont leave your goddamned buggy in one lane while you stand even with it in the center of the other lane and stare blankly at the shelves for five minutes. I will ask you nicely to get the fuck out of the way once.
Yes. I have drive into NYC tomorrow morning, do an errand, meet friends for lunch, and get out before snowmaggedon strikes. I’m already stressed about the trip into Mordor and it’s legions of assholes.
Good luck!
I’m not looking forward to making sure I get the wet snow up before the deep freeze.
I used to love a crowd but now that I’m old and grey there is almost nothing that I hate more. Shit, concerts with 40-50 thousand people? Used to groove on that. Now I can’t stand being around more than a dozen or so people at one time.
Huh. I wonder if that means that I’ll grow to love crowds when I’m old and grey 3 years from now.
Kudos for keeping to a disciplined schedule!
I have to work myself up now for a crowd . . . airports, courtrooms (yes, I am there daily), races (like the kind I’d compete in), concerts : they all get under my skin.
Even the county fair has gotten too much for my excitement meter. Cows and rabbits I’ve seen before. Not much on tattoos these days, besides there’s plenty at Walmart and the parking is easier.
But the gunshow loopholes at your local county fair!
The county fair next county over is so pathetically small that it may still be your speed. It’s like 3 buildings and if you go any time except Friday or Saturday night, its half deserted.
I haven’t been to our county fair. It’s a bit of a hike to get there, but there is enough agriculture that it should actually be half decent.
My new home is 3 miles from the county fairgrounds. I suppose I should go see it this summer.
Sounds like you and the family had a great time, so glad for ya! I believe that Harry Potter section did a really good job in bringing that “world” to life so I’m leaning towards your third hypothesis. Makes you feel for the Singing Frog performers though, they gotta wear those uniform robes even in the Florida Summers. As for E.T., I may be wrong, but I believe it is the last original opening day ride at Universal Studios Orlando that’s still in operation.
Backdraft is closed? Damn, I was planning on eating a pile of refried beans before going to it. Impress the daughter with my human flamethrower.
You’ll just have to improvise the ride yourself. RIP to your poor daughter.
“hey gotta wear those uniform robes even in the Florida Summers”
Most of the costumes have cooling systems built into them, or they’d probably have more wrongful death lawsuits on their hands.
Don’t forget that the last E.T. release was a cleaned up “special edition” where they took out references to terrorists, digitally changed guns to walkie-talkies, etc.
They used the editing plugin Cigarettes-B-Gon as well.
HarryPotterland is pretty fun. There is one stand in Karkit Market that has hard cider and Cornish pasties — pretty much the best breakfast there.
As far as Harry Potter goes, I think the enthusiasm of the fans has created a far richer culture around the books than they warrant. I wouldn’t expect the subsequent books to really be any better than the first, but I’ve only read half of the first, so what the hell do I know?
About E.T.: My unpopular opinion is that the movie isn’t very good and has aged poorly, even ignoring the recent changes to make it soy-friendly.
I think that J.K Rowling, much like George Lucas, is full of shit. Especially when thy talk bout how they had their storylines planned out from the beginning.
The idea that there ever was a “series” planned out with a single narrative (as opposed to a Hardy Boys/Mack Bolan type franchise) just isn’t supported by that was published. The second book was a rewrite of the first book, the third book look like she had decided to actually write a multi-volume story, and the fourth book is where HP became what it wound up being. It’s no surprise that the page counts reflect this.
The Harry Potter series is a big ol’ mess. It was fun for a first read but I have no urge to revisit it; the last two books were a slog.
I am torn about the later books. She accurately wrote the protagonist as a hormonal pubescent dickhead, but books where the protagonist is a hormonal pubescent dickhead aren’t all that fun.
Never read the books, but I don’t like Rowling’s personal story.
DO like Rowling’s personal story. Sheesh.
The funniest thing about Harry Potter is that while JK Rowling is as big of a big government progressive as you can get personally somehow she managed to write one of the most libertarian books ever. Every single person in a position of authority except like 2 are portrayed negatively and all of the institutions are hopelessly corrupt just waiting for the fascist strongman to come along and take them over.
As for the stories themselves you guys need to pull your heads out of your asses. Are they derivative? Sure but then pretty much everything ever written since the 1850’s is derivative. I suppose you could make make a small exception for the Cyberpunk genre and that is just a maybe. Calling something derivative is therefore not a valid criticism. Sure there is nothing new or ground breaking in the HP books but the reality is they are excellent examples of a particular genre of book and the fact that they took millions of kids and pulled them away from video games and got them to actually read for fun proves that your subjective opinions are not particularly valid. Yes a lot of popular stuff is junk and when the popular stuff is junk it goes the way ET did, largely forgotten down the memory hole, something not happening with the Harry Potter series.
No I think it is very easy to say that objectively the Harry Potter books may not be high art or literature they are first rate examples of children’s adventure stories
I don’t care about derivation.
In fact this past week I realized that the main character from “Beyond the Edge of the Map” is suspiciously similar to the main character from my earlier work “Scintilla Vitae” if he were reimagined in a classical fantasy setting.
I never called the books derivative so I don’t know what you’re on about. Also, stop calling opinions and criticisms invalid, it’s obnoxious, particularly in reference to things I didn’t actually write.
Like I said, I read half of the first book, and found it to be fairly standard fair as far as young adult books go. I agree it’s nice that it got a lot of people reading, but I don’t really care if other people read. Also, the average person probably reads more now than at any point in history. Most of it is garbage idiots wrote on twitter and Facebook, but they’re still reading and writing a lot. I don’t know that HP offers much more to people than the shit they’re reading on the internet. It also doesn’t seem to have spawned some kind of resurgence in reading in general.
Whether or not HP ends up forgotten like E.T., we will only know in the fullness of time. My money is on yes.
And among patrons in the park, tons of people wearing Marvel t-shirts,
I bet that grinds the gears of the Universal suits, at least a little.
E.T. is utterly forgotten.
As should be everything else from Spielberg. Starting, of course, with that rubber fish movie.
No love for Duel? ::drives off a cliff::
FWIW, the books get better as they go (I read all but the last one). Yes, we all know it’s not great literature or anything, but I thought they were a fun read. You definitely get the sense that the first one was some sort of trial run, and/or she was still kind of learning “how” to write. The later books are bigger, richer, and more interesting.
Regarding ET – never saw it, never cared to. Hated everything surrounding it even at the time.
Eh you weren’t missing anything. It was honestly one of the most overrated movies in history.
Absolutely. I waited 25 years before I gave up my precious time to see it. 2.5 stars at best.
Our first real snowstorm of the season decides to roll in on the weekend I’m driving up the thruway. 🙁
I’m liking the fact that I’ll have plenty of time to clear the driveway with it all coming down Saturday night.
Why is PP still receiving a dime of federal tax money?
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/fifth-circuit-ruling-dismantles-planned-parenthood-talking-points/
Why is PP still receiving a dime of federal tax money?
I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that PP provides many millions of dollars in support of Democrat politicians.
Sarcasm aside, it always seems these organizations get tax money primarily to then pay off democrat politicians, which is why I keep wondering why people that vote for democrats think it is a great idea to put government in charge of anything.
Why? Because the Republicans are spineless, worthless, lying cowards. Either that or they are perfectly happy with the left’s agenda and stand aside to let them advance it.
I am going to go with both.
That’s part of it, but even if they reached down and found their cajones the courts slapped down attempts to defund Planned Parenthood at the federal level.
In which case congress should assert its authority over the purse and tell the courts to fuck off, it’s not their jurisdiction and there is no constitutional requirement for federal funding of anything, especially not a political entity that uses taxpayer dollars to support a specific political party.
But then of course we run into the spineless, worthless, lying cowards problem again.
Those are different dollars!
Oh, yeah, I forgot, money is not fungible….
Congress has spent decades making sure they can avoid things that might allow voters to hold them accountable and has constantly passed the buck to unaccountable entities. That was by design. So the politicians could grandstand, do nothing, and just get reelected. Barring a revolution, they have zero desire to go back to how things should be.
uses taxpayer dollars to support a specific political party.
and a practice that a large portion of taxpayers considers mass murder.
Because they are one of the few agencies who are willing to accept and provide services for medicaid patients without limits.
Like them or not if medicaid stops using them as a provider they will be VERY hard pressed to find anywhere near enough providers willing to accept medicaid reimbursment rates to perform those services. So I tell you what, why don’t you anti abortion people go out and start a competing charitable womens health organization to fill that role and then we can have the discussion about stoping using Planned Parenthood as a medicaid services provider.
Oh and stop lying about it and calling them being funded. They are no more Funded by the government than any other company who does business for a government agency is. They get paid for services rendered and nothing more.
So what you’re saying is stop funding Planned Parenthood and destroy Medicaid?
Title X grants are fee for service, but the ‘service’ is proselytizing not medical. And :
Like them or not if medicaid stops using them as a provider they will be VERY hard pressed to find anywhere near enough providers willing to accept medicaid reimbursment rates to perform those services.
Oh noes, we won’t have people willing to accept this thing that should not even exist.
So I tell you what, why don’t you anti abortion people go out and start a competing charitable womens health organization to fill that role and then we can have the discussion about stoping using Planned Parenthood as a medicaid services provider.
That’s not how opposing something works. If an organization does something bad that you oppose as well as something good that you support, you don’t have to build an alternative before you can oppose them. Literally nothing would ever change if that was the case, as nearly all organizations, even the most wicked, do something good.
They get paid for services rendered and nothing more.
They get grants too, so perhaps you should take your own advice about lying.
So I tell you what, why don’t you anti abortion people go out and start a competing charitable womens health organization to fill that role and then we can have the discussion about stoping using Planned Parenthood as a medicaid services provider.
You mean like this?
Also, I wholly reject the idea that throwing my tax money at an organization that murders babies is somehow justified unless I create a national network of womens health charities. Don’t murder babies with my money. Period. End of discussion. We can discuss charitable health services in a separate conversation, where it belongs.
California’s gun restrictions were upheld despite being, by the court’s own admission, impossible to follow. I don’t see why anyone needs to come up with an “alternative” to Planned Parenthood. If there’s nobody left who will accept Medicaid dollars, then Medicaid’s own rules and practices are to blame and it’s their problem to solve.
It’s also really cool how Squeaky Fromme, the one who actually attempted to murder somebody, got paroled and Manson, the guy who never attempted to murder anybody himself, died in prison. Justice is blind. Deaf. Dumb. And stupid.
I don’t know, I’m pretty comfortable with Manson having gotten life in prison.
Riddle me this Pat-man, if not for Manson, would Tate have been murdered?
Probably not, but then to hold one person liable for the actions of another denies agency to the first party and is a poor basis for criminal justice, IMO.
I hold it as perfectly consistant to hold both accountable when one commits a crime due solely to the intentional inducement of another, such as when a cult leader commands his followers, a mob boss his minions, or a client hires a hit man.
Sure, but in the grand scheme it seems a little ridiculous to go easier on the person who actually executed the crime than the supposed Svengali who told them to.
Agreed. though I think in this case it’s a flaw in the way parole is handled. there’s still the fiction that prison is supposed to be rehabiliative rather than merely punitive, so the unrepentant Manson never went anywhere, while the actual killer was able to able to convincingly portray a reformed convict to the parole board. (No judgement on whether they had an actual change of heart, despite my phrasing)
That’s true as well. Particularly in a state like California.
Let’s not go too far overboard. It was only Ford after all.
Another example of the Pussy Pass?
I bet if I was on trial for murder, a nice Federal Marshall wouldn’t gently carry me around in his arms.
I’ll take that bet! We need a deadline obviously, is 6 months long enough?
Most attorneys try to run the 180-day rule, I gather.
Redheads. They be wack.
The Austin story is great and all, but that $9 million comes in part from the law abiding gun-toters. I’d rather see some personal liability for the motherfuckers who infringed in the first place.
Nice meaty lynx this morning, Banjos!
According to this, it was 9 grand not million. Glibs, like CNN, pushing fake news. For Shame.
I’d seen 9 mil on news sites too. Not sure what number is correct, can’t be arsed to do the research.
It’s the proper decision so I don’t give a fuck. I still think the principals should spend a little time in the box so they may reflect on their transgressions against freedom and feel shame.
I say when a public employee causes a fiscal liability for their employer, they are liable for a prison sentence of one minute for every dollar of liability. The sentence may be shared among all those responsible, who may opt to pay the penalty personally in lieu of the jail time.
In the case of 9mil, someone would owe over seventeen years.
Unless forged or ‘shopped the link is to the actual decision, not much researching involved. Of course maybe there’s some odd legal mumbo jumbo where $9,000.00 means 9 million, but IANAL.
I thought it was more important to be morally right than factually accurate?
The ruling, if one actually reads it, says $1500 for each violation – there were 6….so $9,000. Breitbart cannot do math.
9 mil = 9,000 in spanish. Obviously they were being inclusive and multicultural you racist bigot.
What math? It’s right in the ruling.
I bet it’s a failure to notice decimal points. Quickly skimming through the short document, seeing a 9, a bunch o’ zeroes and two pieces of punctuation. Failing to see the second is a decimal point the poor soul thinks ‘million’ and doesn’t count the zeroes.
However, CNBC reports that Walmart no longer has plans to create the streaming service aimed at these “underserved” demographics. The company will reportedly focus on expanding what’s available on Vudu, the streaming service Walmart acquired in 2010, after talks with Greenberg fell apart in 2018.

“The best part was that he waited just a few hours before they were leaving before dropping it on them, after they had all loaded onto a bus to head out, causing this hilarity.”
I have trouble understanding why so many say he is anything but crazy like a fox. That was brilliant. He perp walked those shitweasels. Bruce Lee couldn’t have turned the tables as deftly.
Interesting story on Costco and Walmart. I have been waiting for this. The woke CEO’s at the other services were bound to step on their dicks sooner or later by waging war on half of the population. ‘Get woke, go broke’ will happen as sure as the sun comes up. Watch and see.
I have seen the crime scene photos from the Polanski house. Squeaky should have been shot long ago and Roman should have been the one there, not Sharon.
“You can sit in the front of the bus, but the bus isn’t going anywhere.”
If you think Costco isn’t on the woke train I’ve got some bad news for you.
Maybe watching google/youtube start hemorrhaging income will induce them to think whatever they want and keep their mouth shut about it.
At some point, either due to incompetence or intransigence, they decided that making buckets of cash isn’t central to their business model: it’s compelling or coercing their users to mold themselves in the image of the New Soviet Man.
Costco is an interesting position because the employees have an unusually outsized level of influence and function as a quasi-union. They’re closed on holidays and won’t stay open past 8:30 even in places where they could make boatloads more cash if they did because the employees won’t allow it. Unless the position of management changes drastically, once they can’t both get what they want, there’s going to be an old left vs. new left internal power struggle.
There’s an old Charlie Rose interview with Trump where he states he absolutely lives for moments of getting even. He’s proven time and again he’s got an animal cunning in how to get revenge for real or perceived disloyaties and sleights. I can’t quite figure out how all the people knocking him around day-after-day can’t figure that out either. You know that guy has a mental Rolodex of who he’s going to fuck over next
All these idiots actually believe their own myth that they are the smarter ones. That is why they keep ending up on all fours with Trump shafting them and wondering what went wrong.
If a supposed complete moron keeps besting you, you are either dumber than a complete moron or the man isn’t a complete moron. Pick one.
Trump rose to the top of the heap in the incredibly vicious NYC real estate market. The guy just might be a little bit crafty.
One of the reasons I think they hate him so much is that he plays by their own rules and doesn’t actually think like the team red douches that rolling over and showing his belly buys him anything with these mook idiots. Also want to mention that logical consistency is not something progs are bothered by. That is why they can claim their enemies are both evil geniuses behind some of the strangest and most complex conspiracies AND dumb as rocks. The dumb as rocks usually comes from projection, I want to add, though.
Dumb as rocks goes without saying. “We hate the Igneous rocks! Everyone knows that Sedimentary are the finest rocks!”
Or Trump is Mr. Magoo with a sadistic bent.
But more likely, the collective left is on a rake stomping marathon that won’t stop till he leaves office.
His vindictiveness is really the trait that I love the most.
Costco is reportedly considering creating a streaming service aimed at “average Americans.”
Sneak preview of the first show.
What about us “above-average Americans?”
https://www.prairiehome.org/index.html
Also, re streaming video service for the “underserved demographics”: are they going to bring Petticoat Junction and Green Acres into the 21st century?
One of the real underserved demographics for streaming services is people who are interested in older films. For some reason, few of the streaming services want to pay the (I would hope) small fees to stream some of the old classics.
I don’t use them very much but I just noticed the same thing recently. I was in the mood to watch a couple of Dean Martin movies, and Netflix didn’t have a single one.
I guess deservin’s got nothing to do with it
We have Starz and they are the only place I’ve been able to find old Westerns. I haven’t really looked to see if they do any other genres.
There’s a Westerns only channel on Prime that is very cheap, with a TON of the old Westerns, especially pre 1940
I have a couple of OTA channels that play westerns all day. I have 30 or 40 hours of westerns recorded off of them.
Not sure why that classic TCM-type streaming service got shut down (right before I was about to subscribe) – something about copyrights I think – not sure if it was an international issue or what. It’s why I still keep my netflix dvd service – but it’s not perfect.
Amazon Prime has been pretty good at listing older flicks – often included in prime vs buying digital – we watched some old Orson Welles stuff at Christmas.
Every month the library on Prime gets better and better
And worse and worse, as they shuffle titles/streaming rights.
Oh dear God you should have seen the reeeeeing on the TCM boards when Criterion shut down Filmstruck.
Conservatives have argued that the entertainment industry tends to emphasize progressive perspectives to the detriment of the right. The lack of shows focused on poor and working-class families has also been criticized.

I’m on the fence about Asian woman. So many flat butts and faces that look like men with makeup and wigs. But the “right one” and I’m smitten.

It’s all so ridiculous. In the event that food actually becomes valuable, every person not living in an urban apartment could turn their yard into a vegetable garden and keep some chickens or pigs. That would free up the current fields of grain to grow large animal protein.
The only reason that’s not happening in developed countries is because people find their time more valuable working other jobs and outsource their food production to someone else. As long as that remains the case, outsourced food production will expand. If that stops being cost-effective, people will go back to growing their own food and living where they can do so.
But that’s sensible. These are the advocates of the planned economy who can’t fathom people adapting to changes in their circumstances.
If you eat meat every day then this is the first biggie. For red meat you’re looking at a burger a week or a large steak a month and that’s your lot.
I’ll eat as much meat as I dammed well please. Try to stop me and we will have a problem.
What they really have in mind is culling 2/3 of the population.
Precisely. Meat has a way higher energy density than veggies. It is the reason that our brainpower developed to it’s current level.
Their answer – “the planetary health diet” – does not completely banish meat and dairy.
Not for the nomenklatura, anyway.
It’s scratching up roots with a sharp stick for the rest.
I’m sure sharp sticks will be banned.

Round up this ‘parliment’ and ship them to a small enclosure in the northwest territories. Don’t provide them with any tools, supplies, or aid.
If any survive, they might have gained perspective on reality.
Yeah, we are well and truly fucked. You know he’s gonna win again this year, right?
DON’T SAY THAT! I really think that jerk off is damaging this country.
Oh he’s splitting us like dry pine. All part of the plan even if he doesn’t have the brains to understand the consequences of his actions.
I think it’s clear he has no brain.
Pure NPC.
As I am fond of pointing out and y’all are tired of hearing, this is about creating incompetence in individuals and institutions. Look at Gulag Barbie,she has a degree in economics from fucking Boston U and doesnt know the first, simplest thing about economics.
Or basic math for that matter.
But she’s “good at Twitter”.
So a bunch miners and engineers are supposed to sit around and talk about women and trannies before digging a hole in the ground?
Optimally while digging a handy-dandy hole in the ground.
Have you been with Miners, they do that already.
:aide whispers in ear:
Oh, Apparently they can’t be jokes about them.
That’s the gist of it.
I see Canada has nothing left to cut, too.
Why is it that every left-wing cause gets wrapped up with every other left-wing cause?
(to be fair, judging by the NRA, this happens on the right too)
Intersectional infrastructure? Pass.
I still think the principals should spend a little time in the box so they may reflect on their transgressions against freedom and feel shame.

Dang.
I’m excited to see the gymnastics that the Progs (and progtarians: Nick Sarwak) pull to scream about this ad, while calling everyone who was upset about the other a hateful sexist.
“and progtarians: Nick Sarwak”
I thought we were going with “woketarian”? Is it “cosmo”, “progtarian”, or “woketarian”? People should settle on a single descriptor.
Sounds like central planning to me, what are you? some kinda Commie?
Good rebuttal. I got nothing

Pinko
Obviously a woketarian is more concerned with social status, whereas a progtarian is more concerned with getting the right Top Mxn on the job.
Listen to this man.
Life is like hockey. When the enforcer – not necessarily the pugilist – was allowed to marshall the ice like a shark it kept players honest. When the NHL introduced the instigator rule, the rats took over and dirty play increased. Life is ugly and sometimes it takes an asshole to beat up another asshole to protect the integrity of the game where refs couldn’t.
Same here. You get rid of men, you’re left with the rats. And if you thought you hated men….wait until you see the rats.
You’ll be pining for Dave Semenko.

I have a good story to tell but I never have told y’all. In fact no one knows other than my wife and the three other people who were there. This toxic masculinity shit is pissing me off enough that I might break down and tell y’all. Lemme think about it.
Is this the one where you punched a gator in the neck and then it coughed up a puppy that later saved the neighbors from a house fire and then they gifted you their first-born son who went on to become the President?
President??
It was Johnny Cash, man.
Better!
Almost but not quite.
I’m just twisting your tail a bit, Suthen. I want to hear the story.
File under ‘There are no atheists in the foxholes’
I am working and driving down the street with another staff member along. Mr. Sweater vest is how I referred to him when he wasn’t around. He was a deeply religious guy and a good person so I had respect for him. We are driving down a small street in an aged suburban neighborhood. A woman runs out in the road and waves us down. She points at a small duplex not fifty feet from where we are stopped. “Do you think that house is on fire?” she asked. I look at the house and there is clearly smoke coming out from under the eve at the peak of the roof. Shit. It is only about as much smoke as a person smoking a cigarette would make.
Shit. Just shit.
So I get out while dialing 911 and start toward the house. Cant hurt to be safe, right? They check it out and no fire, no harm, no foul. The woman is on my heels so I start asking “Do you know these people?”. “Yes I live there”, she points behind us at a house three down. “Are they home, do you know?”
” I dont think there is anyone there but I am not sure” she says. I get to the door and start banging as hard as I can and yelling “The house is on fire, you have to get out! Anybody there? You have to get out the house is on fire!”
Bang bang bang, yell yell yell. No answer.
Sweater vest is still sitting in the car. I decide there is no one there.
I know better than to open the door. By now the smoke is like a campfire’s volume.
I moved the car for the fire trucks, parked it half a block away and sweater vest and I jogged back to where the woman is standing. I am looking down the street for the fire trucks and I hear the woman start screaming “Oh my God, there is someone in there!” I turn around and she is pointing at the front window. I just got a glimpse but it was still moving.
Shit. Just shit.
I am thinking ‘old woman in a wheel chair cant get out’ or ‘little kid in a panic doesnt know what to do’.
I run to the house and start banging and yelling again then holding my ear to the door. I heard something but couldn’t tell what. Sweater vest is still across the street standing frozen. Woman is still yelling “There! It moved again!”.
Fuck. Just fuck.
By now there are flames coming out from under the eve. I can hear fire trucks in the distance but the fire was increasing so fast they might be too late.
Kicking a door in is a lot more difficult than what you see on TV. I turn and yell as sweater vest “Get your ass over here!” but he is frozen. It’s funny, one look at his face and I knew exactly what was happening. I have seen it before. He knew what he was supposed to do, what he should do and he wanted to do it but he simply could not force himself to do it. It’s like when you are going to jump from a height into the swimming hole but your legs wont let you. The guy actually fell to his knees and started praying to Jesus.
Double fuck. Triple fuck.
I crawled in the front door. The smoke had filled half of the living room. Lemme tell you something. That shit firemen tell you about fires? They are not kidding. They aren’t exaggerating. Once you open the door and let oxygen in it goes fast. Suddenly little red glowing devils started dancing around in the smoke by the ceiling. I started crawling about as fast as I can run. Back bedrooms, nobody. Kitchen, nobody. I am also calling out and starting to feel the heat. Gotta go, sorry.
Crawling back to the front door, there she is. Four? Maybe five? Curled up, back against the wall and her knees pulled up to her chest. Thank God she was less than ten feet from the door. Facing her I had her grab me around the neck and around my belly with her legs. Zoom, I dont think a gazelle could have gotten out faster.
I carried the girl back to where we were standing before. The woman grabs the kid like it is her own. The girl obviously knows her. Ten seconds later the Fire Chief comes screaming up in his personal car. He is wearing a suit. I think he might have still had a napkin in his collar. He starts yanking firehouses out of his trunk and stringing them. He is on the radio cussing his firemen for not already being there. Five seconds later they are.
It was incredible to watch them work. They put fans up at the door to blow away smoke and went in with the hose. They could not have been in there one minute and they had it out.
A female firefighter approached and asked if I had reported. “Yeah but it just went so fast. Was there anyone in there?”
“No, just a cat. It didn’t make it.” she said. God that was a relief.
“Do you need me for anything?”. No she said.
Ok, I am out of here. It is illegal here to run into a burning house and I didn’t want to be arrested. That is when I noticed that the woman and girl were nowhere in sight. Huh. Ok, we high tailed it out of there.
Sweater vest and I never spoke again. Two days later he quit his job. I felt bad about it because, well, you just cant judge someone in a situation like that. But apparently he did. I felt bad for him.
A year or so later in the gunshop where I hung around the sheriff came in to drink coffee with us. On the little TV a story about the parkland shooting came on. One of the guys asked him, because of the cop that hid outside the school, what our cops would do. He said “There comes a time in every man’s law enforcement career when he has to ante up and that would be the time.”
I said “I would amend that a bit. There comes a time in every man’s life when has to ante up. You wont see it coming but when it does you will know it. You wont know what you will do until it does” I didn’t tell him what I had done and he didn’t ask. Everyone quietly went back to sipping coffee and watching the TV.
Toxic masculinity, my ass.
Much of Marine Corps Boot Camp is beating that hesitation out of you – and making it easy for others to beat it out of you if needed. I had a moment of panic on a battlefield, and I swear my Drill Instructor began mentally screaming at me until I got my shit together. The first thing I did was kick the guy next to me until he had his shit stabilized. Then we did our jobs without any further fanfare.
The SJW types expect you to do shit like this, only once you are done you need to give credit to a woman…
Not diverse enough and too bad about the cat so it’s a no for Gillette.
But great story!
I’ve been in some bad situations but never froze…
until my son had a seizure. I just didn’t know what to do – at all – until my wife took over and started barking out orders. Then I snapped out of it and started making that 911 call, and taking care of things.
It’s official. Suthen has the biggest balls of all of the Glibertariat! That was awesome. The best i ever did was to pull two drunk monkeys out of a laid over Semi before it burst into flames and promptly skedaddled away because we had been at the river and were feeling no pain. Funny how some people just watch and others know what to do, even without training or certificates. There must have been thirty people there standing and gawping.
“It’s official. Suthen has the biggest balls of all of the Glibertariat! ”
*facepalm*
I dont know about all of that. That is why I was reluctant. Besides, see Drake’s comment. We have a few combat vets around here.
Damn, that’s a terrifying story. Kudos to you, Suthen. I always try to understand people’s shortcomings based on analyzing my own, and I’d guess that that Sweater Vest may have had some sort of traumatic experience involving fire in the past. Things like that can paralyze you. When I was around thirteen I got hit by a car that was doing about 40 mph. The massive dent that the back of my head left in the windshield was about two inches from the roof line. If that car was going any faster I wouldn’t be typing this right now. For a few years after that I was absolutely mortified whenever I had to cross a street. One day as I was leaving school I had just crossed the busy four lane road on the corner and a few seconds later heard the unmistakable crunch of a car colliding with a human body behind me. One of the other students got clobbered and was laying in the middle of the road. I was only about thirty yards ahead of them. I knew I should run over to try to help or at least make sure the kid was alive and that traffic was stopped, but I just couldn’t move even as other students were screaming at me. It’s an awful feeling to be completely immobilized like that when someone else desperately needs your help.
I never have told anyone except my wife. I knew sweater vest wasn’t going to tell anyone. As for the woman, this why I could never be a detective. I figure most everything out but I am slow. It takes me a long time sometimes.
That kid was in the house by herself. It finally occurred to me a couple of years later that the woman was the babysitter. She must have put the kid to sleep and snuck off to smoke pot or fuck her boyfriend. While she was gone the kid woke up. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that the girl was fucking around, found a lighter or something and set the house on fire. So, I knew the woman wasn’t going to tell anyone either. I told the wife the day it happened and have never spoken of it since. That was ten or twelve years ago. Here I am telling a crowd of people I have never met nor are likely to meet in person.
That’s a damn ballsy story. And yes – that woman’s behavior would have confused me too.
I have a bad memory. That couldn’t have been the parkland shooting. We were living in Pineville at the time. We have been here in Colfax for 7 years? 9 years? We lived in Pineville for a couple of years after that happened. Right?
It couldn’t have been the parkland shooting. It was one where the cops were afraid to go in the building until the shooting stopped. How many of those have there been? Was there one about that long ago?

Sounds like you’re thinking of Sandy Hook
Columbine?
9 years ago? Wouldn’t that be in the Columbine timeframe?
Columbine was ’99. It must have been Sandy Hook, but I thought it was longer ago than that. Sandy Hook was in ’12.
Shit, last birthday I bemoaned my age and my wife laughed. She pointed out that I am two years older than I thought I was. That should tell you how bad time blurs for me.
Honestly, I don’t really like that preachy shit either, but it’s a nice fuck you to Gillette and it’s nice to see a company willing to take on a corporate identity that isn’t to the left of the Berkeley gender studies department.
Same. The fact that they would explicitly call it a response to Gillette is fairly ballsy for official corporate media. Big, juicy middle finger. Well done.
Big juicy middle finger held under Gillette’s nose.
And the watches are not bad looking, decently priced and Japanese Quartz so for that ad, I will likely purchase one of their watches.
I agree. This particular ad rubs my giblets the right way, but I’m done patronizing companies that preach to me. I get enough preaching at church, and their message is better there.
I like it.
Their watches are cool, too.
For some reason, few of the streaming services want to pay the (I would hope) small fees to stream some of the old classics.
Ted S is the one who would know, but I think Turner Classic has a lot of those films locked up in their vault. I’d love to be able to pull up You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man (W C Fields) any time I want.
I *think* you can use the Turner app and watch the movies they have on demand. I’ll have to check again.
Great movie. It’s A Gift is even greater. The tough one to get is Million Dollar Legs, which is wonderfully surreal.
I’m somewhat reticent to post about such topics but I currently have a wee bit over 20 terabytes (and growing) of films and television shows on my media server and I like to share. If our wonderful hosts do not care for this kind of post, please delete and chastise me but if it is allowed, try this link (link expires in 24 hours).
Yeah, not much WC Fields available remastered to date – from what I’ve seen digging around. I’ll probably just pick up an older DVD collection if nothing shows up in the next year or so.
Climate change: Is nuclear power the answer?
Well, shucks. Looks like $2/kwh wind and solar it is.
:Kicks Toxic waste and environmental footprint of solar plants under rug:
+1 China Syndrome. Fun Fact – Wifey grew up near Hanford and is as anti-nuke as she can be. The propaganda was the very model of efficiency.
I’ve not done a study of this, so this is all anectotal, but i’ve found that people from Nevada and Utah have completely different views on Nuclear power. Utahns are surprisingly against it. My guess is that it has to do with the downwinders
I still am amazed at how many of these anti nuke idiots will tell you with a straight face how close humanity came to extinction because Three Mile Island and Chernobyl almost resulted in a nuclear detonation. When you explain to them that they obviously are illiterate indoctrinated idiots for believing that nonsense, they actually look down on you for being a denier of science.
Belay your amazement. As a “Man of a Certain Age” you must be well aware of the cretins in our midst. There is really nothing to be done about the situation except a world-weary sigh and perhaps a jubilant romp with a lady friend.
As a man of a certain age I am starting to worry that I no longer enjoy or want to invest all that upfront work to get a jubilant romp with a lady friend anymore. The ROI seems to not be as great as it once was, and I am often left feeling like I am the one that got shafted.
This man speaks truth to testosterone. AlexinCT for President!
I will be a terrible president because I don’t give a fuck about anyone. My acceptance speech would be: “To all the people that didn’t vote for me I want to deliver a hearty FUCK YOU! And to all the people that voted for me I want to say FUCK YOU TOO!” Now bring in the bitchez & booze, and crank up the tunes!
I live about 20 miles from the largest release of radioactive material in u.s. history. In Santa Susana pass, the first and worst meltdown on u.s. soil happened in the 50s. People react to that fact in funny ways. Most flatly refuse to believe it. There was no protocols or response plan. The workers just left and waited for it to burn itself out. They went back in with brooms and mops to clean it up afterwards. No space suits or anything.
Nuclear power should be the answer anyway. But its gonna be hard
The problem of nuclear waste is a problem of our own creation, specifically Harry Reid’s creation.
There’s two ways to deal with spent nuclear fuel – reprocess it into new fuel rods (which is the no-shit approach as a “spent” rod still retains 96% of its capacity) or dispose of it deep underground.
Spent fuel reprocessing is illegal in the United States, and we spent billions of dollars constructing a national spent fuel depository at Yucca Mountain in the Nevada desert that we can’t use because its also basically illegal.
As a result, spent fuel is largely kept on-site in huge casks stored in deep pools of water.
All of this because Harry Reid didn’t want spent fuel on the highways of Nevada.
Beer, liberty, and FedSoc
Crazy story.

I remember that movie
Interesting stuff.
Although I haven’t been gene tested for it, I’m now 95% certain that I have Ehler-Danlos Syndrome, which I got from my mother, who doesn’t know she has it yet. It’s a connective tissue disorder with about 18 sub-variants. The most common type is hypermobility of the joints, a neat trick I always knew I had but didn’t realize was a disorder.
It’s reared its ugly head in the past decade and particularly in the past year as neurological symptoms (headaches, neuropathy, phantom smells, etc…) so it was suspected that I had MS. As it turns out, the stretchiness of my ligaments has allowed the top of my spine to put pressure on my spinal cord where it attaches to the brain stem, causing all sorts of weird diffuse symptoms.
The more severe versions of the disorder usually lead to premature death by a vascular event (stroke or hemorrhage). As it turns out, both my mother and her brother have been treated for arterial-venal malformations, but the doctors did not realize it was congenital, just thought it was a weird coincidence. In both cases, they suffered strokes, my mother’s was minor but my uncle’s was a bit more severe.
So now I’m trying to decide how or if to tell my mother what her condition really is, since it requires me telling her that I have the same thing and that I have the same risks for stroke, etc… She’s a bit more fragile in her later years, so I don’t know if it would just create more stress for her that’s unnecessary.
Just voicing thoughts out loud here.
On the bright side, it’s not a neuro-degenerative disorder as I previously feared.
Yikes. God-Speed Good Nerfherder.
Thanks. I’m just learning about more about it now, and will have to eventually have the kids tested for it since there’s at least a 50% chance that any one of them have it. The disorder passes along with one copy instead of two. My first reaction was that I’m too old to be finding out about having a genetic disorder.
Sorry to hear that man. And something else for me to worry about (I’m also a double-jointed freak).
Both my mother and younger brother have that and it can be quite rough; stay strong Scruffy.
Thanks. I would be interested in any resources or advice they may have. Most doctors haven’t even heard of it.
Really? That’s bizarre. It was a staple on tests when I was in med school. Admittedly I don’t remember too much about it now right offhand other than it leading to connective tissue defects, the joint hypermobility, and there being a high risk for various complications because it’s been a fair bit of years since I needed to know it, but it’s still surprising that they haven’t heard of the disease.
I’m exaggerating a little. They’re aware of its existence, but have no experience with it.
It’s not a terribly common diagnosis. I’m sure the prevalence is higher than the diagnosis rate as a lot of people probably think they’re just really flexible, but I think I’ve run into maybe three or four patients with it in over 15 years.
There are a lot of diseases that I vaguely remember but that are so uncommon that I don’t need to know anything about them day to day. If someone comes in with them I spend about five minutes reading before I go to see the patient so that I know what, if anything, I need to worry about. Of course most of the time it ends up being something completely unrelated.
Of course there are now so many psychiatric disorders I don’t even bother remembering them. I just file most of them under “batshit crazy and looking for attention” and move on.
Yikes. Sorry.
It was the same for my father, and for his father, and for his father, and for the men in my family going back as far as we have records. We’ve all carried the same hereditary genetic mutation.
Now that’s some toxic masculinity.
There is another popoular new talking point I have noticed, in addition to, or in conjunction with, the media’s newfound fascination with Modern Monetary Theory (there’s no such thing as too much currency). They are (back to) beating the drum for government investment in basic research. All the best things in modern life were built on research funded by the government. One article I was looking at, which was a justification for Gulag Barbie’s confiscatory tax rates, was a list of all the wonderful technological innovations which were a direct result of high tax rates and wise government “investment” of that money.
I’m not sure how more government funding for the study of damage to glaciers caused by gendernormativity is going to advance the human race.
Everyone knows the government develops all the wonderful new life-saving drugs the whole world depends on; certainly not the evil Pharma companies whose leaders kill kittens and masturbate to the thought of dead customers.
Well, if government doesn’t do it, then one of those for profit entities would develop it but then keep it secret and only available to the people they feel deserve it AND also overcharge everyone for a life saving drug that is a human right!

Getting arrested for nunchuck possession was the best thing that ever happened to me
I’m going to assume that the ruling didn’t destroy the bulk of the blatantly unconstitutional possession law, merely said that one named weapon could not be prosecuted under it.
Of course. Both my work mandated box-cutter and my EDC rigger’s marlinspike remain classified by NYPD as proscribed gravity knives.
Box cutter as a gravity knife? JFC.
Is the knife subject to gravity? Then gravity knife!
/prog who thinks they’re smarter than they actually are
NYPD interprets the statute to mean that any knife that can be opened with one hand is a gravity knife. This is one of mine.
Ahh.. although even a standard boxcutter can be opened onehanded.
Any folding knive that does not lock closed will eventually wear the mechanism to the point where it can be fliped open. The amount of wear varies depending upon design.
God what an insufferable cock.
Is this satire, or is this guy literally that insufferable?
Looking at his twitter profile photo, I’m going with insufferable.
I would say poorly written satire that only a lefty would find amusing? Or insufferable satire.
At some point, are unattractive people are going to band together and demand disability compensation ? In a nation that supposedly has 1 in 8 receiving payments already, I see it as a real possibility.
Well, my Brother is a spry 55 and collects more from disability than I do working a regular job so… Fun Fact – he’s measurably more intelligent than I am.
are unattractive people are going to band together and demand disability compensation – government payed escorts one day a week. Anal for birthdays.
Yes, but the escorts are hired according to government hiring rules, and are therefore all non-binary, weigh 400 lbs and have aids.
No, you get an EBT card that loaded based on your level of difficulty getting laid. You can then use the money as you see fit. Buy material things to comfort yourself, extra food, or just let a professional use it.
Is this site run by Russian bots? Not one mention of the BuzzFeed Trump obstruction article? Granted BuzzFeed should be taken with a grain of salt. If it’s true, that’s the best the can get into a muh Russians! Investigation?

From the Pelosi plane article:
Given that Brussels was on the itinerary, I’m thinking the point of the trip was not to go to “the front lines”. I’d be willing to bet it was a photo op (Afghanistan) and a vacation (Brussels). The US has no military bases in Brussels, so it would be neither a destination nor a stop-over on a trip to visit troops.
Brussels was on the agenda to placate certain panicky Allies and Afghanistan was just some old-fashioned photo-ops. She’s just that terrible.
Ummm…. https://www.nato.int/cps/ie/natohq/topics_49284.htm
Yeah, but that’s just an office building for politicians; the actual military command of NATO is in Mons, which is halfway across the admittedly small nation of Belgium from Brussels. Although in fairness that does give Pelosi an excuse to go to Brussels, as she is a politician.
HuffPo derp. What else do they have really.

Trump told to ‘resign or be impeached’ if reports he instructed attorney Cohen to lie to congress are proven
They really want political violence, don’t they. This is one of the few paths to widespread political violence in this country. If Trump is removed from office on some BS obstruction charge, people will start shooting.
Obstruction of justice is legitimate grounds for impeachment. Granted, this has nothing to do with the central narrative of Russia Fever Dreams, but any sensible person already realized that whole narrative was bullshit six months ago.
If Trump told someone to lie before Congress then that would be real grounds for impeachment. Whether or not the story is true (it is Buzzfeed) and whether or not the American voter wants an impeachment is a different story.
If Trump told someone to lie before Congress then that would be real grounds for impeachment.
Yeah, I guess I should’ve made clear that I doubt there’s gonna be a Nixon tape with him instructing Cohen to lie. Its gonna be some circumstantial “he said, he said” thing with any supposed evidence coming from tainted sources.
“he said, he said” thing with any supposed evidence coming from tainted sources.”
If that’s the case then honestly those reporters should be fired (spoiler: they won’t)
I doubt people will start shooting tbh
I’m still clutching to the idea that the deplorables are invested in Trump enough that having him removed from office on sketchy grounds would shatter their faith in the system.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but I think there are a whole bunch of right wingers who would see it as a soft coup.
In a sense it is. The guy has been “under investigation” for his whole term by the special prosecutor. I wouldn’t be surprised that they could find evidence of the last 3 presidents instructing people to do the same. I want to see the emails myself. And If he did, then yes Impeachment would be called for, but i don’t hold any belief that this will tame anyone in establishment. It will only mean that Democrats will seek to have a special prosecutor anytime republicans have the presidency.
Nobody will start shooting, they will bitch and moan and then lie down and accept it.
^this^
and then we get President Pence – who will make the Dems wish Trump was back.
In all fairness, he’ll probably make me wish Trump was back.
I never understood this argument. Pence is more likely to be more free market oriented on trade and immigration. His foreign policy worries me, though.
Pence is just a standard Republican. He’ll talk a good game, but he will always cave in the end because MUH VERY GOOD FRIENDS ACROSS THE AISLE.
I keep telling people. The Democrats are the Globetrotters, the Republicans are the Generals, and Donald Trump is some guy who got on the Generals and actually is trying to put the ball in the hoop. He doesn’t understand he’s supposed to give great concession speeches and sweeping bipartisan compromises.
My viewpoint is that I am willing to accept some trade/tariff bullshit if the President pulls back from the overseas adventures. I’m betting Pence is fully on board with troop deployments in every armpit of the planet.
The whole MUH TARIFFS thing is kind of silly to me. It’s a tax. All taxes are bad.
I’d rather live under Calvin Coolidge’s federal government than Bill Clinton’s, even though Clinton’s had all this wonderful “free trade”.
“My viewpoint is that I am willing to accept some trade/tariff bullshit if the President pulls back from the overseas adventures.”
Yeah, I agree. That’s a good point.
I also believe that foreign affairs trumps issues like trade and immigration by a country mile.
I’d be fine with it, if you know… Every time someone lied to congress they were arrested and ruined. But since Clapper, Brennen and Holder are all progressive heroes i don’t see why Trump should be held to a higher standard.
But i’ll admit that thats not exactly principled of me. I havn’t made the leap to being so principled that i think it’s a good idea to let progressives do whatever the fuck they want and then hold everyone else to the standards they consistently break.
I think the “the same rules apply to everyone” is a good principle. The rules and the law, are not quite the same thing.
By the law, a single mile over is speeding. If a cop lets white dudes go up to 15 MPH over before he pulls them over, but black guys get pulled over if they’re even 1 MPH over, then I don’t find “But it’s the law, I’m just enforcing the law!!!!” to be an excuse that holds water.
This will probably be one of those – unless there is a recording – he said/she said sort of things you see in divorce court. Impossible to prove without some kind of evidence.
And since He’s already lied to under oath, Cohen really isn’t a reliable witness.
Yeah, the “testimony” of a convicted liar looking to save his own ass isn’t exactly compelling.
Unless he has evidence
Yeah, I’m sure Trump wrote an email saying “Hey Cohen, you go lie to congress about a business venture you were working on for me in Russia”, even though that’s not a crime that needs covering up anyway.
I never assume the smart action to be taken by Trump. And considering that the media, acting in its traditional role as the PR arm of the Democratic Party, was screaming about a Manchurian candidate, I can imagine Trump not wanting to hand them a talking point.
Buzzfeed says that there are e-mails proving it, but the reporters admit that they have not seen such e-mails. There are very good reasons to be suspicious (it is Buzzfeed, which I guess we’re pretending is a legitimate news outlet now), but if what the report says is true than there are very legitimate grounds for impeachment.
As you said, it’s “piss dossier” Buzzfeed. In time we’ll see if there are any truths to the allegations, so I won’t break too many brain cells over it now.
e-mails from “itstotesforrealtrump@yahoo.com”
Hold on, for there to be obstruction, doesn’t there need to be an underlying crime? It’s not a crime to talk with Russians about building a hotel in Russia. So why would Trump want to instruct Cohen to lie, and why would Cohen, a lawyer, go ahead and do it? Especially since there is no underlying crime to cover up in the first place?
It really makes no sense.
You can be charged with obstruction even if there is no underlying crime. The FBI gets a lot of its convictions that way. Whether or not the American voter is willing to accept that is a different matter.
I am not a lawyer, but that seems ridiculous to me. The FBI really needs to be disbanded.
No disagreements from me. Before half of CATO became FBI boosters (I’m looking at you Julian Sanchez), criticism of that practice was pretty common among libertarians. But, of course, now Orange Man Bad

Some gang should run a train on her… Maybe if she got it good she would mellow down and stop being such a nutbag.
Oh no, she’s just winding up. AOC 2028 is a real possibility in the era of Trump.

As the U.S. population skews ever older, the number of people stricken with dementia steadily rises. Alzheimer’s disease already afflicts nearly 6 million Americans, and the number is projected to multiply in coming decades.
This, in turn, stands to boost the number of injuries and deaths caused by firearms. As dementia sufferers lose mental faculties, some become prone to delusions, paranoia and physical aggression. Such symptoms are more dangerous when a patient has easy access to guns.
Yet older Americans are especially likely to be gun owners.
Somebody, somewhere, might injure himself or another with a firearm. Let’s take them away from everybody, just in case.
Gun grabbers will pretend to care about people until they disarm the population, and then they will fuck those people over – royally and constantly – and when the people getting fucked over complain, they will be told to shut the fuck up because nobody cares…
Seems reasonable to many people as sarcastic as you may be. Especially since you don’t really need a gun.

This is so fucking retarded that it shouldn’t have to be pointed out, but this person seems to be the only one that has a problem of very limited definition of what a family is.

Now that I have the energy to lift my head for the first time in a week, let me just say that the flu is torture and that no loving G-d would allow His people to go through it.
In my almost 35 years of life I have never had the flu. I think I might be immune…
Sorry meant to include a get well soon… that came off as a thread hijack
Yesterday we learned that never getting the flu means you have an autoimmune disorder that will kill you.
I hope you get better soon, JB.
The flu disproves the existence of God. I think that’s probably a fair argument. That’s a rough illness. Get better
” flu is torture and that no loving G-d would allow His people to go through it.”
Must have been swine flu.
:Ducks:
Vodka helps.
/russian off
Get well soon.
Yep, get well. I had something that the Wifey brought home from the fucking airport a week ago. Sickish for a day. I don’t get long-term ill.
You know I hate to break my streak, but I haven’t had an honest-to-god puking/dizziness flu for over twenty years.
The last one I had back then was so bad I couldn’t lift my head off of the pillow without having dizzy spells followed by spewing the remnants of black bile out of my stomach. After three days of that I finally had someone drive me to the Med Center where I got a shot to stop the dizziness and some antibiotics. Sure I’ve gotten colds, sinus infections, food poisoning, but nothing like those flus of yore. I even refuse to get flu shots when I’m at the doctor’s.
I got everything when I was a little kid. I don’t get sick anymore unless I’ve been over-imbibing (that last coke bender damn near ended me).
That’s my theory – I was a sickly kid who spend a lot of time home with various bugs. Now as an “adult” (stop laughing!) I rarely get ill.
TMI alert (you’ve been warned).
I used to puke as a kid, but haven’t since high school (and that was after the first day a gym class where they ran us 2 miles in the August heat). I’ve had roommates with stomach flu, my wife gets stomach flu with watery stuff coming out both ends (and I clean it up), she gets food poisoning when we eat the same things, but I never puke any more.
Get well soon!
Also, I was at work Monday feeling sick because my doctor said I didn’t have flu (changed diagnosis after my wife was officially diagnosed and given tamiflu, but it was too late for me to be able to take it) and it was just a common infection so I wasn’t contagious. Half my department was in Orlando this week for a conference (was supposed to be there). Now I’m worried when I get back to work on Monday I’m going to have been Patient Zero in a pandemic that’s taken out half the state’s corporate lawyers.
Your co-workers will be right to hate you
The good news is that most of them already do, so this will be nothing new.
taken out half the state’s corporate lawyers.
No they will not be right to hate JB! Half is a hell of a start.
How was the diagnosis? I got my flu test yesterday which was negative… did you have a negative one? Because my doctor prescribed me some antibiotics especially because I did not have flu just low fever and a sore throat and a painful cough
I had pretty much all the symptoms but a negative flu test. My wife started feeling sick Tuesday late went to the doctor Wednesday morning and had a positive test.
I wouldn’t worry about it. The evidence for Tamiflu is pretty sketchy. At best (if you believe the research funded by the manufacturer) it reduces the duration of the flu from about 7 days to about 6. About one in five people who take it will experience vomiting as a side effect and about one in twenty has psychiatric side effects. I don’t prescribe it anymore unless the patient insists on it. Even if they’re high risk (elderly, young, weakened immune systems) it hasn’t been shown to do anything to affect the rates of hospitalization or mortality.
I have used Tamiflu twice. It had immediate positive outcomes.
Even if the result is one day of improvement, that’s one day less than you contemplate how often influenza kills people.
It has no effect on death rates. None. That was what was hoped (that it would prevent deaths), but it hasn’t. There are no studies that have shown improvements in either death rates or hospitalizations as a result of Tamiflu and related drugs.
Your personal experience is nice, but when they’ve done actual trials where the participants were blinded, there wasn’t much difference from a placebo and more negative side effects. In other words, it’s entirely possible that your positive outcomes were a result of a placebo effect. There’s no way to know what improvement you might have had without the drug either. I get the same opinions from people that use colloidal silver and homeopathy. “It worked for me!” is all well and good, but isn’t evidence.
Moreover. the studies that showed improvement in duration of symptoms were those conducted by the manufacturer (it’s actually less than a day if we’re being pedantic). Independent research has failed to demonstrate the same improvement.
You can take whatever you want as far as I’m concerned and I doubt any evidence is going to change your mind. As I said, I’m fine with prescribing it if someone insists, but the evidence of efficacy isn’t there given the costs and potential side effects.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear.
Influenza made me feel worse than I have ever felt before. You go from “knowing” influenza kills people to “understanding” that this is something that can actually kill you.
In both my cases, my 102-104 degree fevers dropped to under 100 in less than 24 hours. That is not a placebo effect.
However, skepticism is always appropriate.
Here’s another story that won’t be covered by the MSM:
Another Kavanaugh accuser admits to fabricating rape story
Did anyone believe her?
“Sen. Charles E. Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee revealed the fraud in a letter to the FBI and Justice Department Friday, asking them to prosecute Judy Munro-Leighton for lying to and obstructing Congress.”

State Senator Open Carries Gun After Colleague ‘Swarmed’ By Immigration Activists
A day after Capitol Police were called to the scene when a Republican was “swarmed” by pro-immigration activists angered by his anti-“sanctuary cities” bill, first-term State Sen. Amanda Chase (R-Chesterfield) decided it was a good time to not just conceal carry, as she often does, but open carry — as a “deterrent for over-exuberant folks.”
Chase, who beat the odds and won in 2015, defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Stephen H. Martin in the primary and then easily besting Democrat Wayne Powell in the general election, showed up to the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee meeting in the state capitol on Tuesday with her .38 caliber revolver in plain sight on her right hip.
It was secured in what the Richmond Times-Dispatch notes is a “custom-made holster.”
“Sometimes it’s a deterrent for over-exuberant folks. Unfortunately in the General Assembly we see the good, we see the bad, we see all types of things,” said Chase, the Times-Dispatch reports. “It’s just for personal safety, quite honestly.”
The paper points out that concealed carry in the state requires a permit, but anyone’s free to open carry.
A day earlier, Republican State Sen. Dick Black (Loudoun) told his colleagues in the Senate that he had been “swarmed” by activists apparently incensed bout his illegal immigration legislation targeting “sanctuary city” policies. The activists were “confrontational” enough that Capitol Police were called to intervene.
I want to move to Chesterfield so I can vote for her.

I went on one date with a young woman who made clear she kept a stable of boyfriends. My only memory from that night was sitting on her bed thinking, Do I really want to get involved, even if just for sex? Turns out, no, I didn’t. I wasn’t looking to get married by any means, but I wasn’t looking to get stabled, either. So I took off.

Part of the, uh, disillusion was actually meeting a couple of her beaus when I showed up to the apartment, before she shooed them off. I assume they were there as muscle in case I turned out to be a creep. But they were saddest couple noodle-armed proto-soyboys (this was over a decade ago), I thought they might have been her younger brothers. So when she explained the situation, all I could think of was the sad-sack expressions on those pasty faces. I wasn’t exactly brimming with confidence or self-esteem, but I had enough self-worth to excuse myself.
I had a girl that came out after the second time we slept together and told me she was married but her hubby was OK with her sleeping around. I grabbed my shit, got dressed, and left, and simply told her I preferred to not get involved with crazy fucking people if I could avoid it. Heck I was on vacation to the Caribbean just last month, and while doing a hike some Dutch lady I ran into asked me if I wanted to sleep with her and her husband. All I kept thinking about was that the guy probably was the one hoping to get shafted and sent out his good looking wife to recruit tools too stupid to think that shit through. I guess I am trying to say that there are a lot of really messed up people out there.

Hi. This is Wilford Brimley. Welcome to Retardation: A Celebration. Now, hopefully with this book, I’m gonna dispel a few myths, a few rumors. First off, the retarded don’t rule the night.

You might be screaming “No, no, no” and all they hear is “Who wants cake?” Let me tell you something: They all do. They all want cake.
You’re fine. If you were using “fake retard” in a clinical sense, that’s acceptable because she was faking being retarded, and if you were using “fake retard” in a derogatory sense, that’s also acceptable because it’s retarded to fake having a disability.

This guy owns Alinea, a fancy overpriced restaurant in Chicago that I’ve been to for a work party and another industry related event. It is utter shit. No joke they use tweezers to individually pick up noodles for chicken noodle soup. My soup had a total of four noodles and the broth was maybe a coffee mug’s worth of broth. I saw no chicken in the soup. Twelve courses (each one no bigger than half of your palm) where what you were eating had to fucking be explained to you. I was starving after I left each time I went there. Average price per person: $450
This is one of the most elitist and condescending piece of shit things I’ve seen in a long time. City of Big Shoulders, my ass. It’s a City of Pretentious Assholes from the North Suburbs now. Man, this really infuriates me for some reason.
Is the owner also involved in local politics?
He’s probably paying a street tax to someone. Local “politics” is basically just blatant graft. The machine is a shell of what it once was, but the grafting is still in full swing. Chicago has never been as progressive as other big cities, but things are changing now that less families live in the City and a lot of the neighborhoods empty out.
A “free” meal in Chicago. All a college kid in South Carolina has to do is get there and back.
It infuriates you because it is so condescending and incredibly petty at the same time. Every crooked POS in the world is compelled to spit at and throw piss balloons at Donnie Two Scoops because he said he was going to drain the swamp and look after the interests of the deplorables. It is nothing more than that. They are slimy crooks angry and afraid that their snouts are going to be pulled out of the taxpayer trough.

Then they contrasted that with the same reporters comments on Trump canceling her tax payer funded vacation/campaigning. He is a petty dimwit. He is throwing a tantrum. He is destroying our democracy. One even praised Pelosi and then said what he was doing was a petty tit for tat without a scintilla of awareness of what she was saying. It was some of the most incredible hypocrisy I have ever seen, and that is saying a lot.
One day a man will rise up! A man with the wherewithall to grow his own trees, brew his own bucket wine and scare the Darky off his own God-given patch of paradise… Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Suthen Boy!!!
Thread is probably dead but here goes.
I think Trump messed up a little on the letter. He should have parroted Pelosi’s reasons for cancelling the SOTU address. If it isn’t safe in the US Capitol, then it ain’t safe in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I have a tough time with restaurants where 60 percent of the words on the menu seem to be fabricated, vaguely French-sounding words.
Hell, if she’s happy and her boyfriends can live with the mortification, that’s their problem. It’s just not my scene.
Exactly. I suck at sharing. I won’t let anybody borrow my pickup truck. Letting somebody take my girlfriend for a spin is completely outside the realm of possibility.
Yep. That’s an Iron Law for this feller. Noway, Nohow.
Not a chance in hell. If she cheats, she’s dead to me. I’d scuttle the relationship and watch it sink from a desert island. I won’t be party to my own humiliation. I do enough of that myself without making a conspiracy of it.
Meh – open relationships work for some people. My best friend in high school is married and also has a girlfriend. His wife also has a boyfriend. Somehow it all works – for them.
This is how you get France!

Frog-like chortling.
I’m a traditional, devout Christian. I’m married to one wife and have no interest in going outside of that relationship. If my wife were to step out on me (she wouldn’t, but hypothetically), it would likely spell disaster and probably the end of the marriage. I believe that marriage is a lifelong bond that takes a specific form as symbolism of holy things. Deviation from that ideal is desecration of the holy (and I’m just as guilty as everybody else on that one). Also, I’ve been cheated on in the past, and discovered that I’m not the sharing type.
im also a libertarian(ish). I believe that you can arrange your life however you want without seeking my permission. If you want to assemble a harem, you’ll get no protest from me.
To me it comes down to the varying forms of tolerance*, as I’ve written about in the past. I’m tolerant of the many, many different ways people arrange their families and lifestyles. Im not accepting of them, and I’m certainly not celebrating them. ‘Tis the beauty of libertarianism.
*tolerance = recognizing that something exists and that you don’t have the authority to change it
acceptance = recognizing that something is a justifiable way of doing things
celebration = touting something as a superior way of doing things
I’m not religious in the least but I am an ethical man. I watched too many marriages destroyed by fast and loose rules regarding relationships back in the 70’s. It was painful for everyone involved, especially the kids.
I’m not religious either and I believe exactly the same as trashy.
*minus the holy stuff 🙂
Whaaat? I was led to believe that you people were a bung-hole free for all… Mind blown.
Nope, we’re not all the same. Hard to believe, right?
LOL!
