So, I went to the dermatologist today, because my wife insisted that I get checked for cancer. Her dad had some pretty bad melanoma before he got the other cancer, so I didn’t put up a fight. And boy am I glad I didn’t. The doc was a complete smoke show. I haven’t been touched by a woman that hot since… well, the last time I paid someone that hot to touch me. Anyhow, I now look forward to my annual skin cancer screening. She didn’t find any alarming growths, but only because I was thinking really hard about baseball and cold showers.
Florida Man, you’re supposed to do wacky and dangerous things that injure yourself, not this. I hope your mamma brings several of her coworkers around to beat some sense into you.
Although, maybe not beating someone so badly they get brain damage. Dude should try that on someone his own size.
I got the following note: STEVE SMITH SAD THAT INSPIRATION FOR HIS FILM, “STEVE SMITH KNOW WHY CAGED HIKER SQUEAL” DEAD. I would not want to be caught by the rapesquatch tonight

My son had decided this is his favorite song. Sometimes being a parent is actually not all that different from being psychologically tortured by tiny, sadistic sociopaths.

Did she examine *everything* IYKWIM?
I swear a saw a really tiny spot on my frenulum. Keep looking.
Doc,
I’m told my dick tastes funny…can you confirm?
Two Campari sodas in…..LOL.
My ex made me go to a urologist, but it was my choice of which one. And yes, I ended up with a hottie with thin fingers. I was not unhappy with how she handled my junk.
What do thin fingers have to do with anything?
For the prostate exam.
And they make his dick look bigger.
Yeah, I have an “exit only” sign tattooed there.
My first such exam was with a grizzled veteran doctor (who actually worked at the VA). Dude was around 60 or so, about 6’4″ and had very large hands. Not a happy memory.
“Did you do time, doc?”
Hi Brett!
Glad you are cancer-free, but you gotta do something about the boy. Because that’s just not OK.
And I say this as a guy who once took his daughter to a Fall Out Boy concert.
Daughter: Can you take me to One Direction daddy?
Me: Mom. Take over this file.
Tundra I feel your pain. We took the daughter and three friends to a concert for her 13th (?) birthday. Wife and I had the same reaction. Meh. They were just so average.
We saw Black Sabbath the year before. I’m a huge fan. And Red Hot Chili Peppers. The wife is a fan. Both of us said about the others choice, I may not love it but I get what makes them great. But Fall Out Boy… meh.
Man, I’d love to see either one of those. Going to see Sabaton in October, pretty pumped for that.
Bands my son, who just turned 11, has seen live: Iggy and the Stooges (x2), Reverend Horton Heat (x2), Misfits, Ice Cube, Ween, Queens of the Stone Age, Cypress Hill, Hot Snakes, The Gza, Eagles of Death Metal, Steel Pulse (x3), Dead Milkmen, Bootsy Collins, a bunch of others I can’t remember.
Good on ya mate!
That’s part of an outstanding childhood.
He actually enjoys it too.
Took my daughter to her first live show this summer for her 13th. Saw The Aquabats! and Reel Big Fish.
The song is lame, but the video is good.
When we were in Europe a couple weeks ago my daughter wanted to make a side trip to Prague for the Rammstein concert. Not sure if I should be worried.
39-year old nearly beats 13-year old to death. Charming.
People who abuse children don’t do well in prison.
In America, freedom means getting beaten for disrespecting the flag.
See my comment below.
Yah. I have a client in county jail accused of 5 counts of rape – one victim is the step daughter, other is the neighbor child. Both 9-ish when the alleged events occurred. Glad I represent him for the neglect /abuse case and not the rape.
Dude sends a 13 year old to the hospital via helicopter, is a registered violent offender and…
was released on his own recognizance?
WTF is the point of keeping track of violent offenders if you just go “yeah, don’t do that any more, see ya on your court date”.
This is somebody’s fetish, and probably has a big future in teledildonics…

One step closer to genetically engineered catgirls!
I mean, didn’t we already ditch our tails? If it was such a good idea, why didn’t we keep them?
JB, I have to say I’m a big fan of this newest refrain. Partially because of the absurdity, but mostly because everyone loves genetically engineered catgirls.
It’s also a weeabootarian refrain on the interwebs in response to government spending, “Every dollar they don’t spend on this is one step closer to genetically engineered catgirls!”

STEVE SMITH SAD THAT INSPIRATION FOR HIS FILM, “STEVE SMITH KNOW WHY CAGED HIKER SQUEAL” DEAD.
Sorry, but that was Maya Angelou.
Was that the one where she wrote, “Some animals are more equal than others?”
No, that was in Fahrenheit 451.
It wasn’t Stranger In A Strange Land?
You’re thinking of Love in the Time of Cholera.
Harry Potter and the Two Towers?
Nope, you’re thinking “Brave New World“.
No, That’s got robot dogs. You are thinking of Robot Chicken.
They’re releasing a guy who beat a boy unconscious on his own recognizance? What the hell?
Bail isn’t punishment. In some states it doesn’t take into consideration public safety either (not sure if Montana is one of them). It’s simply making sure the person’s going to show up for trial.
Cash bail is a scam anyways.
A quick scan of Montana law says they only care about whether you’re likely to show for trial, except in cases where the death penalty could be applied.
Seems like he’d be a good candidate for denying bail. Repeat violent criminal, assaulting a minor, and feeling entitled to assault folks for random faults isn’t a good combination.
Hate to sound like you-know-who, but has he ever jumped bail? That’s what matters.
Well, what’s the point of a “violent offender registry” if you aren’t gonna use it in this scenario. Dude is a repeated violent offender and snaps at a fair and puts a kid on a life-flight with a busted skull. Apparently unprovoked. And he admitted as much to multiple witnesses, so it isn’t like “I didn’t do it” is gonna be a defense.
In a world where a speedy trial is actually a thing, I can’t see the wisdom of allowing this guy bail. He’s clearly a danger to the community.
Well,
what’s the point ofwhy the hell is there a “violent offenderanything registry”? FIFYIf this guy is such a fucking menace (and I’m not arguing the point) then it should all be taken into consideration at sentencing, and when he’s up for parole. You know, after he’s been proven guilty.
Is the guy a cop?
Good question…. but he didn’t get a commendation and paid leave, plus the kid wasn’t charged with anything, so probably not.
Good news for you Brett!! I did the nose cauterizing last year, beware the Sun!
Lol. I finally moved on from a baseball cap this year. I need to protect this pretty face!
I hope you put white stuff on your nose too, especially when seen in public with your kids.
I bought one of these and not only did it not embarrass them, my son stole it the other day to go fishing.
I have a light balaclava for fishing.
It’s made out of filo dough?
No, Fido dough.
It’s pretty ruff.
Philo Beddoe?
Baclava is a terrible dessert.
I’ve had a cheap WalMart version of that, but I only wear it fishing and mowing. I could see myself in one of these.
Oh, look! They have a picture of me wearing one when I was camping last summer!
I always watched for it, and it came up fast when it did, my dermatologist burnt it off right then and there
One of my kids was constantly playing that song in the car. (I am the cool dad who lets her do that). Then I turned on the Stanley Cup Finals, and there was Lil Nas X on a stage in Boston performing it. Proving how out of touch I am with pop music. But I am ok with that.

Sick of Helicopter Parenting, Mom Creates Collection of Calming Articles for Her Friends, Including Us

To what?
Sorry no posts found.
/jazz hands.
Gorram it!
Folks, it’s the latest article on letsgrow.org’s blog.
I’m not going to try to link to it. Part of the problem is that I’m at work, and between the security features, and the drunken muppets who manage our network, linking is hard
Basically, I have to type the html out by hand. No monocle, no comment previews. Also, at random times I get warnings about violating our network access rules. >(

“I have to type the html out by hand.”
And…?
He doesn’t have his typing gloves?
A lot of us here hate Reason’s language, if it makes any difference.
“When I tried to click on that article I received a warning that it contained racist or hate language???”
Using some sort of woke filter? Make sure you don’t get close to any icky ideas.
However she got that, it’s scary. They are actively deplatforming and blacklisting anyone to the right of Pol Pot.
What is the reason.com website? When I tried to click on that article I received a warning that it contained racist or hate language???
Hilarious. Despite their frantic efforts to kiss up to the cool kids, they still get tagged as haters.
There is some small joy in that.
Every time a reason.com article gets a hate speech warning, an angel gets its wings.
I disagree. What they like or socially approve has moved left. Their commitment to free speech hasn’t changed.
Unless it involves the making of sandwiches.
I know, its deplorable that anyone gets the safe space tag “racist or hate language”. But being a free speech advocate is one of the main things these days that gets you tagged as a hater by the Left that Reason tried to accommodate? build bridges to? whatever.
Because “Hate speech isn’t free speech!” It was blindingly obvious to anyone not in the coastal elite bubble that no matter how woke you are, you can never be woke enough to be immune from attack, and that their new buddies’ support of free speech is limited to free speech for lefties. They laid down with dogs, and now they’ve got fleas.
True enough.
That’ll be cold comfort when their new pals take it away anyway.
I was walking the dogs the other day and ended up waiting at an intersection near a car blaring country music. Auto-tuned country music. I had no idea they could make it any worse.

Long but worth a watch. Peterson still sounds like a Muppet.
I watched the whole thing when it happened. It was interesting but anti-climatic. What was supposed to be the intellectual capitalism v. marxism version of the Thrilla in Manilla ended up a dialogue between two guys who often found common ground and seemed genuinely intrigued with one another.
And Zizek has some wicked ticks.
I respect Zizek in that he may be spectacularly wrong about most things, he at least attempts to defend his wrongness with reason rather than typical Marxist REEEEEEEEEEing.
I agree. He seems like a good person too.
Peterson’s opening is worth a listen: starts around 15:00; no news, but a fair and stinging critique of Marx
Zizek throws zero stingers: dances around the ring for no apparent reason
but then, instead of dissembling Zizek point by point, Peterson starts a ramble that is fairly low quality, so I bailed
John Morgan, ambulance chaser extraordinaire (and incredibly wealthy for it) and the money behind the Florida medical marijuana amendment (yay) and the 2020 ballot measure for a $15 minimum wage in Florida (ugh), is now throwing a ton of money at getting recreational pot on the ballot in 2020 as well. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.
Wait til it’s legal and the prices go up
I’m a 42 year old white guy who lives in the suburbs. I have no source of supply. So I don’t give a shit if it gets more expensive so long as I can get my hands on it.
And I just realized that you meant this in conjunction with the minimum wage law and I’m dumb.
Why not both? Being in California most of my life spoiled me
Well that would be handy. Then I wouldn’t have to, er, worry about if some of the legal stuff I bought on one of my MI trips accidentally came home with me.
That would be cool. More jobs, less people in jail.
Buying and consuming marijuana in Massachusetts for dummies.
Paywalled.
Good. Not only because it’s the right thing to do, but some states need to reclaim some of the folks who moved to Colorado to “participate in the marijuana industry” and ended up living in their cars.
So would you say those people need to go back where they came from?
Absolutely. No more stinky hippies.
Some, I assume, are good people.
…are we still doing phrasing?
Curious how that is compatible with the Pence rule.
Boy, Pence had better hope we aren’t, he’s really just putting the ball on the tee for us.
Very strange that the Dayton shooter was driven to the location of the crime by his sister and his best friend, whom he then shot.
To be fair, I’ve been in a car with people I’ve wanted to shoot afterwards.
And some I would only ride with if someone held a gun to my head.
I still don’t understand how that works. “We’re going to the watering hole. Why are you bringing a rifle?”
Yeah. We are missing a lot of details.
Wait… he wasn’t the driver??

Really? You let this gem get overlooked?
I haz disappoint.
I see the “white nationalists are just like Al Qaeda!” storyline has speedily made the rounds on JournoList 2.0 as both NYT and WaPo have multiple stories and op-eds peddling the exact same thing.
Blame that silly FBI cunt for trotting out that garbage.
That was already on their list, and has been for the last… 10 years? It’s really just a subset of their standard refrain that white men are all terrorists.
Yeah, this is in their talking points. White nationalists are responsible for more terrorism than Islamic Extremists. (when examples of “terrorism” and timeframes are cherry picked) For example, they count two white trash dudes shooting each other as an example of terrorism if they are associated with some alt-right movement. And they don’t count islamist dudes shooting up night clubs if they didn’t leave a manifesto that says “I’m totally shooting up this night club because of my association with Al-Qaeda”. And of course, they always exclude things like 9-11, because then the numbers really aren’t gonna work out.
Already made its rounds on FB. “Nobody questions the mental health of a Muslim shooter, but a white supremacist shooter is dismissed as crazy.”
“Nobody questions the mental health of a Muslim shooter”
Total bullshit.
Sure, a guy who goes and blows himself up in a crowded market is totes sane.
…in order to claim his 72 virgins in Heaven.
It makes for a great “gotcha” post, which of course changes so many people’s minds.
Perhaps because no religious body was offering a lifetime in paradise with an endless supply of virgins to the white supremacists?
Perhaps because its a puzzler why a seemingly ordinary American would commit mass murder, but there is no mystery about why a radical Muslim commits mass murder.
Maybe you should think about that.
Or more to the point, weird basement-dweller white supremacist dude was mentally ill – which drove his attraction to hate-group ideologies and his decision to commit suicide via public murder spree.
Most of these guys in the US are explainable this way – even some of the Islamist dudes – like underwear guy, he seemed like a real peach. So when Bernie Bro goes and shoots up the Republican congressional baseball team or when the weird manifesto guy who likes socialized medicine and hates Mexicans kills a bunch of folks, it all seems to come under the heading of “that dude was crazy”.
But that isn’t useful to the narrative. The narrative is that white men are all in hate groups and they are the most dangerous thing on the planet. The only way to defend yourself against this accusation is to loudly Prog in public, so everyone will know that you don’t associate with “those people”.
It actually is a pretty well thought out strategy. One that can be undone if people start seeing crazy people doing the things that crazy people do and thinking “that dude is crazy”.
It was like when that guy ate some homeless dude’s face off. The Sheriff comes out and says he was on bath salts, without any indication that this was the case other than a wild assault. I immediately said “crazy dude gonna do what crazy dude does”. And when the toxicology came back? Yeah, dude was stone cold sober. Note that this didn’t stop anyone. Everyone knows that “the bath salts guy ate that dude’s face”. Everyone.
Same goes for these folks. As long as every instance of a white dude shooting something up is “right wing violence”, they win. so when Jared Laughner gets all obsessed with Gabby Giffords and shoots her, it is Sarah Palin’s fault and an example of right wing violence. Even though he is explicitly a left wing fanboy of hers who was motivated by his obsession, not politics. Ask anyone. That was a right-wing extremist and an example of republicans using the language of hate.

1977 Lancia Scorpion
I have never seen one before.

It looks like a stretched Honda CRX.
Or a mini DeLorean.
I saw a more angular Scirocco.
Cool, nevertheless.
Remember when Chrysler (300) tried to fuse with the Lancia Thema?

And here I thought you were talking about Lancia Wine.
Monferrato? Get a load of the aristocrat.
I’m guessing you’ve had it? Any good?
Yah, good stuff.
I do like just about everything with Barbera d’ Asti grapes, tough little plant that will grow on rocks.
Or a bit like a Briklin.
I looked at the CRX. Maybe the CRX-SIR comes closest? Is that the one you had in mind?
Shouldn’t it be the Honda CRX that looks like the Lancia given its production started in the 80s? The Japanese liked to ‘borrow’ European design ideas from time to time.
Interesting spare tire placement.
Italian mid-engine car from the seventies, bro. Innovative and quirky.
Tonio gets it.
$17k? THAT’S IT?
Don’t listen to these guys. They eat poutine. It’s a sweet car.
Lancia has a wonderful rally racing legacy.
I still see them on the Rally channels from Europe, very cool looking
I didn’t realize they were still racing. I thought they pulled an Alfa-Romeo and stop.
They come and go so often I can’t keep up anymore.

Sarah Palin’s defamation suit against New York Times resurrected by appeals court
And Sandman has to pursue that ridiculous dismissal.
The appellate decision on that should be interesting. The lower court has kind of put them in a box by labelling everything as “opinion” in good post-modern fashion.
Fact v opinion used to be one of those things that “you knew it when you saw it”. Its one of those things that gets harder to articulate the more you think about it.
So journalists get to play both sides of ‘opinion and ‘facts’ and ‘I was only joking’, eh?
They clearly were singling Sandman out. It’s shit-weasel journalism they pulled.
Excellent use of the “Post modern” label.
Now that I know what it is, I kinda see it all over the place.
Definitely in in the mix here, as the judge literally has to assume that up is down to get where he’s going.

Limey shitbox alert!
I’m sure there will be a flurry of late bids, but it looks like somebody is going to steal himself a pretty decent MGBGT.
Still two days left on that one. There have been a few going through lately.
The only reason to buy a limey shitbox is if it’s convertible. “GT” in a Matchbox kinda sense. LOL.
Wrong.
I had a very nice TR-7 convertible. Sweet ride. When it ran.
From the Montana man link, “Brockway, who has a previous assault with a weapon charge from 2011, and who Missoulian reported is a registered violent offender, will be released on his own recognizance Tuesday.” What on earth do you have to be accused of in Montana to have to post bail?
Some 8 year old might be saying the Pledge of Allegiance wrong and needs his face rearranged.
Exactly. Given his past conviction you would think public safety is a factor.
The BBC on guns
Someone, please show me a modified AR-15 that can shoot 1200 rounds per minute?
Wow, even more than a fully automatic M-16. That’s some serious modification.
Without cooling. You forgot to add “without cooling.”
They are basically extrapolating that someone somewhere (once) was able to bump stock 10 shots in 1/2 second. That means 1200RPM.
And yet 1200 round magazines are still on the street, easier to get than a library book.
1200 rounds a minute? Even leaving aside that such a number represents a cyclical rate, not a sustainable rate, that’s preposterous. That’s what an MG42 shoots. No AR on earth is capable of that. Hell, no fully automatic weapon in the current US arsenal is capable of that – the SAW is around 800, the M240 tops out at about 900, and the new M27 the Marines use is around 850.
Well, no Single Barrelled automatic weapon
Well, yes, I’m not counting Gatling guns.
But if we are, and money is no object, I’m installing one of these on my roof.
Got to see an example of a home-built .22 fully automatic that could shoot 1200 rounds per minute. Dude was from the Charlotte area. Thing required a compressor and had a coffee can sized suppressor on it that worked shockingly well. The mechanism and brass flying everywhere were every bit as loud as the report. He used it to cut down small trees. Probably took him an hour to load it for a 30 second spree.
I was just a kid – this has been probably 40 years ago – so I don’t remember the details very well, except that I wasn’t allowed to shoot it (dang) and he did have a license to create and own the thing that was apparently damn near impossible to get. Everything else is subject to fuzzy memory. I’ve always repeated 1,200 rpm, but it coulda been any sufficiently big number, I suppose. It definitely had an air compressor hookup, but coulda had other pieces and parts as well.
All of which is to preface this question:
Do guys like this still exist? Do Americans still get to experiment with building guns in their back lot?
They said “up to” 1200 round per minute. Technically, a single-shot musket can fire “up to” a billion rounds a second.
Have you not heard of “full semi-auto”?
Ugh. No one look at their 401k.
I did today. This year has been absolutely shit for me I’m down 3%
I said don’t!
*slaps laptop off desk*
It was before you said not too.
Down 3.14% today.
Good, that just means I will be buying lower after my paycheck this Friday.
I am of two minds…I like to see it going up, but cost averaging works better if it is low, until I retire, then it needs to be high.
It works in my favor. I’m opening a supplementary 403b for my wife this week. Hopefully it will drop a few more points before we fund it.
Can we please do away with the pretense that Facebook is anything other than a publisher?

She didn’t find any alarming growths, but only because I was thinking really hard about baseball and cold showers.
I was never in the military, so I was never told to take a cold shower when sexually amped up. And so I don’t know exactly what the reasoning is behind a cold shower.
Does the cold water itself purportedly have some quelling component, or is the implication that you’re supposed to go into the shower and rub one out to get yourself back in order?
It supports automagic shrinkage.
Why don’t you do some research and get back to us?
Sadly, any ability to do such personal research sailed away since chemotherapy started eight years ago.
wut
Ted S’ hate isn’t confined to awful music.
Shrinkage?
Here’s the thing: if you’re with a partner sufficiently hot to sustain full staff in spite of the cold water, having sex in a cold shower is actually exhilarating and a completely novel sensation. If you go to half staff just make sure she follows Pence’s advice of being on her knees instead of the internet.

Fuck you Trump. Fuck you McConnell.
But the Senate was supposed to save us…
Probably one of the few ways Trump could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in 2020 is by supporting gun control. This is monumentally stupid.
Sounds right up the GOP alley.
Never forget that the 1994 AWB gained strength from Regan’s 86 FOPA restrictions and HW’ 89 EO. Fuck those pseudo Americans.
A new working group in the Senate Republican caucus will “brainstorm” on potential actions to curb and prevent such events:
Repeal
NFA
68 Gun Control Act
infringing portions of 86 FOPA
Brady Bill
There. Done. Go fuck yourself Cocaine Mitch. You and Boy Blunder Graham had two years of Repub control to do the above along with a unilateral repeal of Obamacare, yet you cowardly sniveling scum failed to do so. Anyone with an ounce of self respect and sense of shame would have offed themselves by now.
That’s a stab in the back. If this isn’t just a PR stunt to kill time until the next media freakout, then its going to be really hard for me to vote for Trump.
*sigh* Probably time to identify my next gun purchase or two.
You guys are always linking to Euro cars, so I’m going with some classic Detroit muscle.
I had a ’71 – yellow with the rear wing.
*wistful sigh*
Nice!
The early ’70s body style is just about my favorite for the Bird, right there with the ’77 Bandit-era. By ’77, though, the engines had been neutered so, unless it had an aftermarket engine upgrade, I’m going with the early ’70s.
I love late 60’s to mid 70’s Pontiacs. My dad had a 68 GTO convertible that I barely remember as a kid. Unfortunately I remember the Pinto he traded it in for more.

Despite this the progs want McConnell to be assassinated.
It’s bad enough what they’re doing but I think Massacre Mitch is a nickname, not a call to action. Twitter’s being two faced for allowing it though considering how quick they are to ban tweets/tweeters aiming at the other side.
Aiming? Sounds violent. We will have to suspend your account.
OK Zizek just lost me by comparing a husband’s jealousy at his wife sleeping around to Germany’s anti-Semitism leading up to WWII.
WTF?
Closeted anti-semite?
His point was that the response (jealousy/anti-Semitism) are equally invalid regardless of whether the wife’s sluttiness or the Jews’ evil are true or not.
Again, WTF?
If the wife is sleeping around then the jealousy is rational. German anti-semitism was built on lies. It’s a false equivalence. Saying both may be untrue obfuscates one is surely untrue.
He’s also contradicting himself by saying that capitalism is causing moral degradation (sexual deviance, hedonism, consumerism, etc.) and that classical Protestant work ethic causes moral restraint and traditional values.
What am I missing here? I thought leftism explicitly rejected traditional values as oppressive and advocated their destruction. If so, shouldn’t he then be supporting capitalism? If not, how the fuck does Protestant work ethic align with leftist values in any way? He’s arguing in circles.
They called this sophistry in Home Ec class.
I think. I wasn’t listening.
Maybe Zizek can explain why I can’t tear a payment due stub from the billing clean.
Sometimes I hate myself.
Looks about right.

Well, if I can buy a third world dictatorship, I’ll get the guns back as “Military Aid”.
Or take one over
Who’s up for a filibuster?
cold, dark, and calculating bastard: well done !
KDW neatly tears apart the “red flag” hooey:
The GOP goes down this road, it’s over. Red flags for everyone.
French is an idiot. Why waste time even considering he has anything of value to add? He’s a straight up oxygen thief.
Yeah, he’s often terrible.
Our idiot Repub Governor in AZ is charging up this hill for the second time. Won’t be voting for him next year, regardless of whether it gets passed.
Gee, If not for all these guns, crime rates in the US might be at historic lows.
I have 2 inherited pistols that are no longer safe to fire and not worth anything to collectors. I’d gladly trade them to the FBI for $200 each. And go buy a functioning gun with it.
It’s not a buyback if the government never owned it.
Think of it as eminent domain in your gun safe.
Like an Eminent Front?
Nah, that’s just a put on.
‘murrica, fuck yeah!
Ian Bogost observes that blaming video games, once a bipartisan political affair, now seems to have become a hallmark of the Republican party
Probably because the left has found their own politically expedient boogieman
Joaquin Castro Posts Names, Employers Of Trump Donors
Explain to me how this is responsible on the part of Castro again?
Is he fucken stupid?
No. Evil.
How is this not criminal?

Certainly an attempt by a government official to stifle private citizens from exercising their 1A rights.
Sounds like a conspiracy to deprive someone of their civil rights.
I’m sure our vigilant FBI and DOJ are already drawing up the indictment.
Really reposting links should be a crime.
LIES!
What Tomax and Xamot did may be unethical, but OSINT is OSINT.
Yeah, but you noticed that Twitter immediately deleted his account, with other major internet companies following suit in short order. That did happen, didn’t it?
Does terrorism (domestic or otherwise) require a conspiracy and multiple perpetrators? I don’t see how a one-off lone wolf event really qualifies as part of a campaign of terror in support of a political movement.
It’s terrifying, to be sure, but…
And the apology comes out on cue
https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/tyson-forced-to-apologize-after-a-mass-shooting-reason-and-perspective-just-arent-helpful/
That was as sure to happen as the sun rising this morning.
Shoulda gone for the non-apology apology. “I’m sorry you were offended my my perfectly logical and true statement.”

This gave me a good chuckle.
Top story on the Daily Mail:
“Is Ilhan Omar having an affair with this Dem strategist? The man she was holding hands with at a secluded eatery is Tim Mynett, who has constantly been by her side, left his physician wife and was paid $250K by her campaign”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7306417/Is-Ilhan-Omar-carrying-affair-Dem-strategist.html
” was paid $250K by her campaign”
Where’s creepy porn lawyer? I’m sure he’d take this case.
I just love that she was demanding that Congress change its rule against hats because she’s a devout Muslim who has to cover her hair, but she’s also banging a campaign aide who left his wife. I’m sure the Koran is real lenient on Muslim women who break up other people’s marriages and screw their spouses out of wedlock.
His wife looks like she’s killed before.
And a red head.
https://youtu.be/_K_-D5B7DIg
Doesn’t even have to go that far. Holding hands with a non relative of the opposite sex would be off limits for a supposedly devout Muslim. But the reality is she used the hat ban as a tool to make other conform to her.
Well, the soon-to-be ex was 15 years older than he is, so he probably thought, “Meh, time for a trade-in.”
Posted in morning links, but it was dead there, so reposting here: https://babylonbee.com/news/new-legislation-targeting-violent-gun-wielding-groups-accidentally-bans-government
“Though the legislation was intended to target fringe groups that use firearms to commit acts of violence, such as gangs, far-right nationalist groups, and terrorists, it was worded too vaguely and accidentally banned the entire federal government. The law specifically named “groups that use violence and wield guns to steal money and property, threaten people, and kill innocent civilians in a callous, egregious manner.” Instantly, the federal government became an outlaw”
:Standing ovation:
*joins in*
Congress appealed to the courts and thankfully, a judge who was chosen by the federal government and whose paycheck comes from the federal government ruled that the federal government was exempt from the law.
They even got the oblique FYTW reference in there!
That’s awesome.
Damn. They’ve been on a roll.
Why can’t I find a moose-shaped chocolate animal?
Make your own
Like I said, why can’t I just find them premade?
Better?
The funniest part is that mold is one of the suggested items off the first mold link.
make one,
You try Canada?
Because of chocolate mousse?
Boooooo! Hissssss!
What do you have against fashionable pompadours on moose?
Here I found one:

This one is a bit smaller:

I could buy the mold, double boiler and chocolate for less than $76.
Maybe I will.

Looks interesting. Hoppy? Or more like a Blue Moon or Wheat Beer.
Like what, not hoppy at all, a citrus note, good on a hot day so far
Wheat
Nice, I’ll keep an eye out.
Christ, what an asshole
Peter Strzok, the fired former FBI agent who played a senior role in the early Russia-Trump campaign investigation, is suing the Justice Department for back pay and to get his job back, according to a lawsuit he filed in DC District Court on Tuesday.
Strzok claims his termination in August 2018 came because of political pressure on the FBI from President Donald Trump after he criticized Trump and made political comments in text messages in 2016.
In summer 2017, former special counsel Robert Mueller removed Strzok from his team investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election after an internal investigation first revealed texts with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom Strzok had an extramarital affair, that could be read as exhibiting political bias.
—–
Strzok also alleges in Tuesday’s lawsuit that the Justice Department illegally released his intended-to-be-private text messages to the media in a violation of his right to privacy.
“The Trump Administration has consistently tolerated and even encouraged partisan political speech by federal employees, as long as this speech praises President Trump and attacks his political adversaries,” his complaint said.
He called his firing “viewpoint discrimination” and claims it is part of “broader campaign against the very principle of free speech underlying the First Amendment, initiated and led by a President” who attacks the media, wants some opinions censored and prompted the withdrawal of Strzok’s and others’ security clearances, according to the lawsuit.
Who is the victim, here?
Americans.
In violation of FBI and DOJ rules.
If those were private messages on a company device, then what law was broken? The company owns everything you put on its equipment, even if its not official business. If they were supposed to be official business and thus not to be released, then I think he’s probably opening a bigger can of worms by conspiring under color of authority.
Cops regularly get their jobs back after murdering people and getting away with it cuz back the blue, so yeah, this isn’t really registering for me.
I’m sure the Koran is real lenient on Muslim women who break up other people’s marriages and screw their spouses out of wedlock.
Something something cast the first stone.
That’s from that book “Brave New World” right?

I remember during the whole Bernie and Hillary thing. How shocked Bernie bros were that the media was so unfair to their guy. Like, how could the media be biased? It was the first time for most of his supporters that they so strongly felt that the media wasn’t in agreement with them. And frankly most of Bernie’s coverage was positive. They still couldn’t handle it.
This story just reminded me of that. Democrats’ frustration with the news media boils over. I can only imagine what these people would do if they actually faced even a neutral media…let alone one that was actually hostile.
I dunno, how do they react to Fox?
Not well. But remember we are dealing with the narrative that the Media was nice to Trump because they didn’t degrade him enough during his campaign.
Their reaction to Fox News is actually tempered by the fact that they can treat it with a smug sense of derision because its the exception. I’m thinking more like the howling about fake news after their last loss only exponentially worse.
ONE channel they have to deal with. Mind you, one that smashes everyone else but still. Only one.
What’s OAN, chopped liver?

Its owned by Disney now, so there is no opposition media anymore.
FYI, Fox News is not owned by Disney. News Corporation (the former parent company of Fox) sold off only the entertainment divisions of Fox and kept the news divisions for themselves – so Fox News is now a different company than Fox TV and 20th Century Fox.
Oooh Beto drops an F-bomb, he’s so angry and edgy.
What a fraud. Every one of them.
He went from laughable oaf to despicable piece of shit pretty quickly.
This came up on my YouTube feed the other day. I’m not sure who he his but I think he’s a prog. Anyways, he and his crowd are going off on Tulsi’s treatment by the leftest media. TW: annoying.
https://youtu.be/yqvJU9iZiAI
Jimmy Dore’s good on Russiagate and foreign policy and not much else. His segments where he’s talking shit but not in front of a crowd are the better ones.
I did like seeing Tulsi own that MSNBC hack. Lol
It would be interesting to see how they’d react to 90%+ negative coverage, uninterrupted for years. “Bad coverage” in their world is having something they’d rather didn’t’ get attention make the news. The best day in Trump’s career has been getting a mention of a positive development in a piece that has a long tail of negative coverage tacked on for “context”.
Cry me a river, Brett. This was the song my kids used to love singing in the car on long trips. Mostly because they knew I couldn’t stand it and my wife would laugh and laugh.
Lies!
Christ, I can’t make heads or tails of Zizek other than a man who is self-aware enough to understand Communism failed and courageous enough to actually admit it in public but who is desperately trying to argue his way out of admitting that capitalism is the proper alternative to this failure.
……aaaaaand then he concludes that the apocalypse is coming.
He’s not wrong there.
I think that was covered in animal farm. Capitalism bad, communism bad.
I think you mean Charlotte’s Web.
Very good, I loved that TV show
You’re thinking of Spider-Man.
That’s where the rebuild the guy right?
If they reanimate him with a bolt of lightning, I think so.
Zizek is a throwback old school commie. The only thing he has going for him is an intense hatred for the current crop of cultural marxists.
DOOOOOOOOM!!!

You really have to go to university to become that stupid.
Not by themselves but they can sure get Team A and Team B to do it for them.
RIP Philip Roth.
“But building a fully white nationalist United States would be flatly impossible, for one reason: The U.S. is and always has been an extremely diverse country. Only about 60 percent of the 327 million people in this country are non-Hispanic whites.”
Also because there aren’t enough white nationalists to fill a Denny’s.
“Non-hispanic”
Because white hispanics can’t be counted with the other white people, or people will realize it’s still something like 76% white.
Actually, looking at that table, Non-white hispanic looks to be 2.2%
That 2.2% of the 100%, is about 12% of the 18.3% hispanic, which is suspiciously close to the overall black population of the country (13.4%.)
Suspiciously?
I always suspect obfuscating data points added by bureaucrats.
Proofreading my own work is a bitch.
As Heinrich Himmler once said, “if we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can be more sustainable” — or oops, that was the El Paso shooter.-
Anytime I see a partial quote, I assume the writer is lying.
Through the reaction against them they might succeed, or at least irrevocably change the country. The left and the moderate right to a lesser extent seem to be losing their collective marbles over them.
Bin Laden had us pegged pretty good in that respect.
CNN was pimping that hot take all day. Even gave Mullet Joe a chance to shed some alligator tears on camera.
Brett, I think what you meant to say was that you haven’t been touched by a woman that hot since the last time your wife touched you, right? Right??
I took that to mean he had to pay his wife to touch him.
So, he’s pretty much a bog-standard Glib?
“Soph, everyone’s favorite red-pulled 14 year-old, has been banned from YouTube & Patreon.

She’s the one who talks about climate change all the time?
I don’t agree with 14 year olds getting involved in politics like she did but she shouldn’t have been banned. It was inevitable though.
“Left-wing outlets have accused her of being brainwashed & exploited”
Wow. The left going after people for exploiting children for political gain.
well she is 14….
So, according to the Left, she should be allowed to vote?
That has nothing to do with why she was banned, though.
Did it have to do with her penchant for saying ‘Go kill yourself, faggot.”?
Now do Thunberg.
Eww.
I ended up at Target and bought some USDA Choice flank steak.
I’m rolling the dice here. Hopefully it’s good.
It’s off target.
If you decide you don’t like it, my dog will be happy to dispose of it for you.
I’m doing a thin sliced stir fry with an oyster sauce/chicken stock, so there’s a limit to how bad it can be.
At worst, it’ll be greasy Chinese takeout quality.
. . . my dog will be happy to dispose of it for you.
Alllll over the neighbourhood.
“Good” – you might have your expectations set a bit too high.
Aim for decent. ?
But it has a government seal of approval!
“The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country. Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years. News coverage has got to start being fair, balanced and unbiased, or these terrible problems will only get worse!”

Is that a threat?
Sounds like a reasonable assessment — has he been reading Glibs?
So..it looks like Gordilocks is either banned on twitter or deleted his account. Anyone seen him hanging out around here recently?
I haven’t, am reminded every
Time a semi cuts me off while travelling
It makes you hit post?
Hah! Every time I get frustrated by shitty OTR drivers, I think of Goldilocks and that there are decent ones out there.
Gordilocks. Fucking autocorrect.
last read him maybe in winter, not since March
When was his kid born?
Good to hear you don’t have skin cancer.
According to KPAX, witnesses saw a man pick up a boy and throw him to the ground. Brockway reportedly tried to justify his actions to nearby fairgoers. Hennick told Missoulian: “He said [the boy] was disrespecting the national anthem so he had every right to do that.”
And nobody shot the guy? WTF?
Poor little bastard. Try that on a kid with a father.
Try that on a kid with a father.
That’s just what I was thinking.
I have a tee-shirt that says, “Montana: Assume everyone is armed”
It looks like the Mounties have raided Jessica Yaniv’s (you remember, the chick who insists others wax her balls) home looking for a taser:
https://www.thepostmillennial.com/breaking-rcmp-search-the-home-of-alleged-predator-jessica-yaniv/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
It’s a strange world where you can publicly advocate for a topless teen pool party and get busted for a nonlethal self-defense tool.
Maybe they’ll find a child porn stash.
Maybe they’re using the taser as a pretext for finding just that but I have no idea how Canadian searches and privacy laws work.
I’d wager they rely on the tried and true FYTW clause.
Yaniz pulled out a taser during the livestream with Blaire White.
