    Our next President should declare a #NationalEmergency on day 1 to address the existential threat to all life on the planet posed by Climate Change.— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) February 15, 2019

    Libertarian moment.

    1. The Other Kevin

      Oh boy. Here we go.

      1. Chafed

        Every member of Team Red who is encouraging Trump about funding the wall this way needs to read this tweet. Yes, she is a nutcase. But if he lets the genie out of the bottle then expect this when Team Blue is back in power.

        1. Soyboy

          Let’s just get it all over with.

        2. Mad Scientist

          I’m going to expect it when Team Blue is back in power regardless.

        3. Honestly, nothing is preventing any future president from using emergency powers in such a fashion, regardless of what Trump does.

        4. Gadfly

          But if he lets the genie out of the bottle then expect this when Team Blue is back in power.

          The thing is, he’s not letting the genie out of the bottle, not doing anything unprecedented, and not doing anything outside of the scope of some pretty bad laws that Congress has passed. This is not some watershed moment, merely another brick in the wall.

          Although if I were Rand Paul, I would use Democratic outrage over this as a cover to introduce a bill to repeal all the laws under which Trump is granted authority for such action.

          1. Chafed

            I completely agree with that. If Rand Paul seized this moment to either get the law changed or embarrass them it would be great.

    2. “The Climate has never changed, otherwise it would have wiped everything out!!!”

      I find it amusing that she represents a district that was under a mile deep sheet of ice 40,000 years ago.

      1. kinnath

        Not that long ago. Just 14,000 or so.

        1. Dr. Fronkensteen

          We can’t make fire. The glaciers will melt and change our climate. /Short lived environmentalist 14000 years ago.

          1. dbleagle

            Interesting primer in the NYT about the last glacial period and the impact on NYC.

            https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/05/science/how-the-ice-age-shaped-new-york.html

          2. Mad Scientist

            There are many boulders in Central Park with glacial striations on them.

          3. I would have thought those were caused by the 1600’s Dutch.

          4. STEVE SMITH MAKE MARK ON ROCK WHEN CAN’T FIND PREY

      2. Fatty Bolger

        I mention this sort of thing to people, and they look at me as if I just said the water was turning the frogs gay or something.

    3. AlexinCT

      That is TOTES an emergency!

      1. Tonio

        No reason needed for that. Thanks!

    5. Rufus the Monocled

      That didn’t take long.

      She’s another mental case.

      1. Tundra

        I SAID I WAS SORRY!

        1. Rufus the Monocled

          NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

          /sharpens skate harder.

        2. mikey

          Never apologize!

          With these two it’s going to wear you out>

      2. Rhywun

        I’m starting to think she’s performance art.

        1. juris imprudent

          So was Yoko Ono.

    6. Dr. Fronkensteen

      Gee, who saw that coming?

    7. Rufus the Monocled

      What’s amazing is the war on drugs and poverty have been miserable failures. Apparently racism is rampant. Education is on the decline.

      But let’s set our sights on fighting….MOTHER NATURE and climate?

      Nice.

      1. Tonio

        They will get it right this time, really.

        1. You know, if the only clear and agreed-upon way to battle Climate Change was to encourage the global spread of free markets and capitalism, I bet we’d never even hear about the subject except in stodgy research conferences, and many of today’s “SCIENCE FACTS” wouldn’t even have been proffered

      2. JaimeRoberto: Gentleman, Scholar, French Tickler

        According to it’s supporters, the GND will address all that too.

    8. Ownbestenemy

      I say do it. Do it to the max. We all like a good tax raping

    9. invisible finger

      Eventually they’ll have to come around to the argument that Hitler and Mao should be hated because they just didn’t kill enough people to preserve the climate.

    10. But Enough About Me

      Our next President should declare a #NationalEmergency on day 1 to address the existential threat to all life on the planet posed by Climate Change socialists and their running-dog lickspittle witling lackeys in the mainstream media.

      FIFY.

    11. You’ll need a #globalemergency to help take care of India and China.

  2. Mad Scientist

    The water is NOT fine. SEA SMITH fucks in it, you know.

    1. I reckon that means it is fine for him.

    2. AlexinCT

      Fish shit in it too..

      ?looks at Aquaman..

    3. invisible finger

      Which species of aquatic animal would most likely bitch about its environment?

      Bluefish.

      1. Playa Manhattan

        I’d imagine that the bitching would be bigger with a blue whale.

        1. invisible finger

          I’d imagine a blue whale would bitch about a rare species of small fish.

  3. SEA SMITH THINK MAYBE FRIEND ZARDOZ NEED ANSWER THIS, HAHAHAHA! MAYBE SEA SMITH GIVE CALL. BY CALL, MEAN RAPE.

    Lol, something something cows and milk.

    1. Mad Scientist

      Perhaps this has happened before. Maybe this is why Zardoz insists the penis is evil.

    2. AlexinCT

      You would be surprised how many feminists are hit by this reality at one point or another…

      1. “you mean I can’t change the deal on the man after already giving him all the benefit of the relationship and have him stick around? Patriarchy!!!”

        1. AlexinCT

          That’s what a lot of the feminist anger and #metoo has basically been about. Angry women that want to force men to do what they want, when they want it, after some guy played them for the fools they are.

    3. Rasilio

      Someone needs to explain to her that she isn’t his girlfriend she is his booty call and there is pretty much no relationship potential there

      1. Mad Scientist

        She can fix him!

    4. Soyboy

      Look at why you are willing to settle for so little when you deserve so much more.

      One of the most boring clichés, and worst—because it’s not broadly true. The advice columnist chides the letter-writer for creating a fantasy projection of this man about whom she really knows very little, yet the advice columnist similarly knows very little about the letter-writer (in fact knows far less than the latter knows about the man with whom she’s been sleeping). And yet, that cliché.

      The advice is essentially “Just be rational and walk away” to someone who’s not behaving rationally. That’s bad advice: there’s no tangible path to the goal.

      The only sensible advice is to turn him into an alcoholic.

      1. Brochettaward

        The only sensible advice is to turn him into an alcoholic.

        That’s my go to for everything.

        1. Festus

          Works for me!

    For your amusement.

    Two white guys in MAGA hats, representatives of all Trump supporters.

    1. PBRstreetgang

      Maybe these guys are the just beginning of the GOP’s outreach program to the African-American community?

      1. Pan Zagloba

        They were just poor immigrants, doing jobs Americans refuse to do.

    2. Playa Manhattan

      Several outlets are referring to them as “African-American”. Ummm…..

      1. Breet Pharara

        That right there is why I’ll never use the term African American. It’s not a synonym with black so people who use it that way can fuck right off.

        1. Mad Scientist

          Charlize Theron is African American.

          1. Bobarian LMD

            She’s also from the south, so automatically racist.

          2. Playa Manhattan

            I guess I have the fever.

      2. Trials and Trippelations

        My dad likes to tell a story of having to go to a diversity training meeting. The black training leader asked everyone to turn in a sheet of paper with something they are proud of.

        She reads then out and discovers that someone in the room full of white men (okd programmers) wrote that he was proud to be African american.
        She flys off the handle about people not being serious and that is offensive.
        The writer speaks up Ma’am I an from South Africa and I am proud to be African American

        So much for tolerance and diversity.
        Also grade A trolling

        1. Rhywun

          That is a sick day for sure. No way am I attending that nonsense.

      3. Nephilium

        I remember some British guy getting confused when an American reporter kept asking him about what it meant to him to be competing in the Olympics as an African-American athlete.

    3. AlexinCT

      Did these guys tell Jesse they were princes that needed access to his bank account to deposit a large sum of money from some clandestine oil sail in his account?

    4. The Other Kevin

      This is worse than we thought! The attackers were in blackface!

      1. PBRstreetgang

        OH, its Northam and Herring. That does make sense.

    5. invisible finger

      “Some of the items seized include a black face mask hat, an Empire script, phone, receipts, a red hat and bleach.”

      Holy shit! I have four of those six items!

      The script is bad, if you need to know.

      1. Not Adahn

        Some of the items seized include a black face mask

        Wait, you can do that with a mask? That seems so much easier than using makeup.

    6. invisible finger

      “Smollett, 36, is black and openly gay.”

      I thought he was gay and openly black.

      1. Breet Pharara

        I thought he was open and blackishly gay

      2. Fatty Bolger

        Whoa. I thought he was in his 20’s. I’m pretty sure his character is supposed to be a lot younger than 36.

    7. To be fair (ha ha) he never said they were wearing MAGA hats, but that they shouted “This is MAGA country!”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/woman-punched-officer-videotaped-new-jersey-beach-arrest-accepts-plea-n972141

    A Philadelphia woman whose violent arrest at a New Jersey beach over Memorial Day weekend last year was captured on video has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.

    Emily Weinman faced numerous charges stemming from the confrontation, including assaulting a police officer.

    She pleaded guilty Friday in a plea deal with Cape May County prosecutors that called for her to serve a year of probation. She also will be barred from Wildwood and its beaches during that time.

    self preservation

    1. “The beach confrontation began when Weinman repeatedly refused to give Wildwood officers her name when they questioned her about the presence of alcohol on the beach. A video shot by a nearby beachgoer showed an officer punching her twice in the head as she lies on the sand, her legs flailing.

      The officers involved were cleared of wrongdoing.”

      The King’s Men. Doing right by all the subjects, natch.

    2. creech

      She was an assh… who expected the taxpayers to clean up the beach not her.

    Drinking two or more diet beverages a day linked to high risk of stroke, heart attacks

    After controlling for lifestyle factors, the study found that women who consumed two or more artificially sweetened beverages each day were 31% more likely to have a clot-based stroke, 29% more likely to have heart disease and 16% more likely to die from any cause than women who drank diet beverages less than once a week or not at all.

    The analysis then looked at women with no history of heart disease and diabetes, which are key risk factors for stroke. The risks rose dramatically if those women were obese or African-American.

    Diet soda racist and sexist.

    1. PBRstreetgang

      Clarence Carter is with you on this.
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7gMkiOPSeA

    2. Mad Scientist

      After controlling for lifestyle factors…

      Like it’s 98% fat fucks who drink diet soda?

      1. Yep. I suspect it’s the adipose and cholesterol rather than the aspartame.

    3. Tundra

      Uh, is that how science works? Because it sounds like obese people get heart disease and diabetes at a higher rate than more fit people and just happen to drink diet soda in the vain hope that it will burn that extra 100 lbs.

    4. Playa Manhattan

      Um…. because overweight people are more likely to drink diet soda?

      1. AlexinCT

        You and your freaking logic…

      2. Certified Public Asshat

        This study, as well as other research on the connection between diet beverages and vascular disease, is observational and cannot show cause and effect. That’s a major limitation, researchers say, as it’s impossible to determine whether the association is due to a specific artificial sweetener, a type of beverage or another hidden health issue.

        Why won’t you listen Playa?

        1. Playa Manhattan

          “another hidden health issue”

          It’s um…. not hidden.

        2. Rhywun

          it’s impossible to determine whether the association is due to a specific artificial sweetener, a type of beverage or another hidden health issue

          They just need one more research grant and they’ll find that association.

          1. More likely that next research grant will end in a publication whose conclusion is “clearly more research is needed on the subject”, as about 75% of research papers conclude. And that opens the door for more research grants!

          2. Rhywun

            It’s research grants all the way down.

          3. Nephilium

            One of my favorite jokes in the movie Thank you for Smoking was the bit about the tobacco research company financed by the tobacco companies:

            This is the man they rely on—Erhardt Von Grupten Mundt. They found him in Germany; I won’t go into the details. He’s been testing the link between nicotine and lung cancer for thirty years, and hasn’t found any conclusive results. The man’s a genius—he could disprove gravity.

      3. invisible finger

        How dare you question SCIENCE!!??

    5. Trials and Trippelations

      Well damn I am fucked then

    6. I drink Diet Mountain Dew (2x a day) and now I’m scared shitless!

      Oh wait, I’m not overweight at all, have no history of heart disease, not black, and not a woman.

    1. Rufus the Monocled

      Nuuuuuukes!

  7. Tundra

    Time to make peace with SNOW SMITH.

    Here’s a relevant song!

    1. AlexinCT

      SQEEL SMITH approves.

      1. Not Adahn

        He runs the SMITHCORP database?

  8. Dr. Fronkensteen

    Guy finds girl only attractive when he’s drunk and horny. Girl ends up falling for him and wants more not realizing she is just an unpaid hooker to him. ZARDOZ definitely needs to set this women straight.

    1. AlexinCT

      BOO-TEE-CALL….

    2. Rasilio

      This is true. That said the one thing I always find myself wondering in these cases is has it occurred to her that she could call him first?

      1. AlexinCT

        I bet she did and he ignored her, but she didn’t want to disclose that because then everyone would know her problem was self inflicted?

    3. Gustave Lytton

      So…keep drinking? I’m not seeing what the problem is.

      1. Playa Manhattan

        The problem is it could lead to marriage.

        1. Gustave Lytton

          Well, drink even more then.

    4. Fatty Bolger

      You know how this story ends. She’ll eventually give up on this guy, marry a “nice guy,” have some kids, and dream of the glory days with her wonderful drunk lover while she bosses hubby around.

  9. Pan Zagloba

    SEA SMITH THINK MAYBE FRIEND ZARDOZ NEED ANSWER THIS, HAHAHAHA! MAYBE SEA SMITH GIVE CALL. BY CALL, MEAN RAPE.

    Ahahahahahahaha, this is like something from Chateau Heartiste*! This is so stupid it has to be real, even a Sun writer would put in something to make the woman a bit more likable.

    *Hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. Mine is a heady combination of “pump and dump those filthy sluts”, “all women are worthless stop engaging them” and “marry up those sluts for the good of the huwite race!”, with free conspiracy theorizing on the side.

    1. Dr. Fronkensteen

      It is straight out of the pick up artist milieu.
      Its stories and experiences like this that send decent guys onto that path.

  10. Pan Zagloba

    CRAZY SPAIN! GREAT GRAMPA, OCEANUS SMITHE, TELL FUNNY STORY ABOUT SPANISH ARMADA. HE RAPE GALLEON AND SAY ENGLISH HOOMANS THINK THEY SINK SHIP! HA HA, SILLY ENGLISH SAILORS. THEN HE GO RAPE ONE OF ORKNEY ISLANDS. GREAT GRAMPA WAS FUNNEST.

    TFW you realize SEA SMITH is the safer naval option.

    1. Ownbestenemy

      Yeah but this is domestic and Orange Man did it so….NAZI!

    2. Ownbestenemy

      He should evoke the whole act and then turn to Congess and say…you gave me the power with this act…

    3. Pan Zagloba

      32 current emergencies, and STEVE SMITH not listed?

      Fucking Bigfoot lobby. They even co-opted ZARDOZ.

    4. Spudalicious

      I like how Bad Orange Man is going to use part of Obama’s emergency declaration on cartels.

    5. Viking1865

      So Clinton, Bush, and Obama all had about 10. Trump has 4 so far.

      UNPRECEDENTED is going to be the media Word of the Day isn’t it?

      1. Spudalicious

        Shockingly, the Wiki list isn’t accurate.

        Clinton had 17, Bush 13, Obama 12.

      1. invisible finger

        They did shoot the movie there.

    Screw Defense Distributed! This guy gets 3D printing and what it is for.

    If he wanted to, St. Paul resident Ryan Butler could clear his driveway from the comfort of his living room. He designed and 3D-printed his own remote control snowblower.

    The snowblower is almost entirely made of plastic and powered by six 12-volt batteries. Butler can raise and lower the plow, change the direction of the chute and drive the plow over almost any winter terrain.

            I know, I hate the fucking Democrats, too.

            accepting it at face value– then move. Once again choices have consequences.

        3. Rasilio

          When you can’t eat or sleep or wash your laundry, you can’t outperform so and so’s whose parents are able to provide well beyond the basics of survival.

          Sure but he WILL outperform the other schmuck who can’t eat, sleep, or wash his laundry and chooses to do nothing whatsoever about it and while he may never catch up to the kid who was born with all the advantages he will eventually be in a place where he can eat and sleep and wash his laundry and later after that he will be in a place where he can pay for someone else to cook his meals and wash his laundry for him as he dines well and sleeps in a comfortable bed in a home which he can easily afford to pay for and maybe if not his kids then his grandkids become the ones you are complaining about having privilege.

          1. The most pernicious evil in many of these envyists’ philosophy is the hatred of people’s ability to create and leave a legacy for their heirs.

            I know! We should get rid of families, and treat everyone as if they’re children of the State, which entity comprises everyone (and thus we’re all children of ourselves and each other), with each child treated and provided for equally!

      You are a glutton for punishment. That was a long fall from BSG: The Reboot.

      1. Scruffy Nerfherder

        You mean BSG: We Really Didn’t Think It Would Last This Long And Have No Idea How To Wrap This Up

        1. Chafed

          Absolutely true and I’m unhappy about the ending. Everything else was a hell of a ride.

        2. Breet Pharara

          I dunno, about halfway through Season 1 marathon I said “fuck me, this is like watching the crew Golgafrinchan Ark B sans humor”.

          And then the ending was exactly that!

      Her top half is nicely done, but her plastic surgeon went overboard on the butt-buckets.

    3. Brochettaward

      At this point if she died, I suspect the deep state has a body double ready to go until after Trump leaves.

      1. Bobarian LMD

        If you suddenly drained all the silicone out of Demi, she probably would look like a decrepit sac of bones?

        1. Scruffy Nerfherder

          It’s really RBG.

  14. Tundra

    Update on the badass that killed the mountain lion.\

    Great story. I would buy this dude a beer.

    1. Scruffy Nerfherder

      He got lucky that it was only about 40 lbs. Even so, cats that size are more than capable killers.

        If The Sun’s Deidre advice column is any indication, a whole lot of people in the UK are playing with relatives.

        If she’s not good enough for her family, she’s not good enough for ours ?

      Double not clicking that. Because of the subject matter and because it’s from The S*n.

        Too close to home?

      2. Brochettaward

        Where did your sister touch you?

    4. Playa Manhattan

      Dear Penthouse letters,
      I never wanted this to happen to me.

    5. Hey Brochettaward! The other night we watched “American Psycho”. I told my wife as he brought out the axe and the raincoat about your avatar.

      I’d never seen the movie before nor read the book. One question — are we supposed to assume at the end that this was all delusional on his part? That it really only existed in the notebook sketches that Chloe Sevigny found in his desk? And are we further to assume that it was supposedly the absurd materialism and competitiveness for baubles between the young Manhattan wealthy in the 1980s that drove him to this insanity?

      1. Playa Manhattan

        You’re supposed to be concerned about your business cards right now.

        1. We did like all the people in the movie who became stars later — Christian Bale, of course, but this also had Reese Witherspoon in a small part a year before Legally Blonde came out. Chloe Sevigny and Matt Ross, who would play brother and sister in the HBO series Big Love a few years later, also had small parts, but I don’t believe they were in any scenes together.

        2. Nephilium

          And if you have reservations to Doria’s (I think)?

      2. Brochettaward

        Bro is…pleased with this story.

        I have always taken the movie literally with the ending adding to the absurdity of how shallow and materialistic the upper class in the film are. The rest of the movie is too literal throughout for anything else. The book is its own ball game. In the end, these people are so up their own asses and so detached that they would prefer to not even know the truth and a few missing people who all kind of blend together in their heads aren’t significant enough to really notice.

        As for Bateman, I don’t think he’s a product of his environment. The indictment of the environment is that psychopath such as himself can so easily fit in with that culture. The environment feeds his rage most when his narcissistic superiority complex is undermined. But he is just a narcissistic psychopath with an overwhelming superiority complex.

        1. Brochettaward

          The indictment of Glibertarians.com is…no, I’ve said too much.

        2. I have always taken the movie literally

          As did I right up until the very end where it shifted from absurd things around the way characters acted/reacted to absurd things actually happening, the chain saw drop down the stairwell or blowing up the cop car with a handgun, at that point I figured it was an insane narrator situation and had to question everything else that happened.

  15. Soyboy

    So glitchy. D:

    2. Dr. Fronkensteen

      Do you have a scared text listing the proper sacrifices, rituals, and prayers to our generous Goddess-Empress SP?

      1. Soyboy

        No, I was just flailing around, sacrificing anything in sight. Have you such a text? How much are you selling it for?

        1. Dr. Fronkensteen

          Afraid I don’t have such a thing. I’m looking for one myself.

          1. Soyboy

            You missed an opportunity to scam me! What are you, a communist? Surely not a libertarian.

          2. Nephilium

            I have such a text. If you send me your account information, or a selection of craft beers I can’t get in Ohio, I’ll gladly provide it.

    “Amazon Isn’t Interested in Making the World a Better Place”

    Written by a person who has probablynever employed anyone or produced anything other than an opinion.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/15/opinion/amazon-new-york-hq2.html

    1. Rhywun

      Paywall… and I was really looking forward to another NYT chin-stroker.

    2. Soyboy

      It doesn’t matter if you do make the world a better place, even inadvertently. What matters is that you have an (ostensible) interest in it.

    3. invisible finger

      It’s quite possible the world is highly overrated.

      1. Brochettaward

        Yes…but they did it for…profits!

        1. So you’re not going to answer my story about your avatar above? And after I made you famous to my wife?

      2. Akira

        That’s the stupid thing: most “progressives” I know are avid users of Amazon’s services and in fact rave about how awesome it is that you can get free two-day shipping with a Prime membership… Yet they’ll turn around and espouse the “correct” opinion that Amazon is a plague on society.

        They’re echoing some of the complaints from the early days of the Internet saying that tech giants are “destroying small businesses”. Smart businesses adapt and learn to survive in the changing marketplace. Some brick-and-mortar businesses were driven out by Amazon because they thought their business model should survive as is. Other businesses used Amazon to reach more customers than ever before. It seems like 90% of things I buy through Amazon are from “Tom’s Books” or “Joe’s Menswear”.

    5. Fatty Bolger

      Maybe they aren’t, but they did it anyway. Funny how that works.

  17. Ownbestenemy

    I love the dying Ann Coulter….realizing she doesnt have the power or following she thought she had in influencing the president.

    For the last two years, Google’s Sidewalk Labs has been working on a planned neighborhood on Toronto’s waterfront. Now, thanks to internal documents obtained by the Toronto Star, the company’s plans on how it will make money through the development have been revealed. Sidewalk Labs plans to take a portion of property taxes, development fees and siphon off tax revenue generated by increased property values in the region.

    The Houston drug raid that left 5 cops wounded and the two residents of the home dead continues to proceed … unsurprisingly.

    https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Houston-police-shooting-affidavit-confidential-13620120.php

    tl;dr:

    1. They “can’t find” the informant on who they apparently relied for the warrant, likely because he doesn’t exist.
    2. The Houston PD is insisting that there was a 911 call about drug activity at the house, but have blocked the Houston Chronicle’s attempts to get a copy of the call.
    3. There’s a “high probability” of the officer in question being charged with a crime for lying on the affidavit to get a warrant. I’ll believe that when I see it.
    4. The Houston Officer’s Union is reacting … non-surprisingly.

    “We stand by our assertion … that the house of Harding Street was not selected at random and we did have information that narcotics were being used/sold at that location,” according to the statement.

    1. invisible finger

      That is one long drug raid.

      1. Juvenile Bluster

        The owners had several dogs, and the cops have spent a long time arguing over who gets to shoot them.

        Or I just worded it wrong. One of those two.

        1. invisible finger

          If the raid takes forever they’ll NEVER have to fill out the police report.

    2. Gustave Lytton

      What’s that term again for homicides committed during the commission of a criminal act? It’s slipping my tongue…

      1. Gustave Lytton

        And being an accomplice to that same criminal act where a homicide occurred?

        1. Gustave Lytton

          And aiding and abetting (HPOU) after the fact?

      2. Soyboy

        It’s not criminal when a cop does it.

    3. Tundra

      Rage. Just rage.

    Imma gonna add a comment from the last dead thread because FYTW. This is the only website that I have ever visited that manages to herd cats so well. I lurve you guys in a totally binary way.

    1. ok then…

      1. Festus

        Hey now! That soap ain’t gonna drop itself… C’mere little darlin!

    2. Scruffy Nerfherder

      Not non-binary?

      *incomprehensible reeeeeeee rage*

    3. Mojeaux

      Cats are awesome.

      1. Tundra

        Until you meet a dog 😉

        1. Mojeaux

          My husband swears up and down I turn into a baby-talking mess when I meet a dog, but dogs are like babies. Fun to fuss over for about 5 minutes and then they need to go back to their people.

        2. I’ve got both, and I’ll take the cats over the dog 10x out of 10. The dog is needy, under foot, always smells like garbage, and gets tangled up in the bushes every time he goes outside.

          The cats are largely self sufficient, and except for a propensity to dart in the house when the weather sucks, they mostly do their own thing.

          1. Spudalicious

            “Dogs are over 50lbs. Any dog under 50lbs isn’t a dog, it’s a cat. And cats are useless.”

            – OMWC

          2. I’m amenable to that. I’ve never had a big dog.

            Cats are infinitely more useful than small dogs.

          3. Spudalicious

            I prefer dogs, but it seems I’ve almost always had a cat as well. As for the above, big dog is 100lb and the little fella is 70.

      2. Festus

        Yes. Yes they are. In fact of all the critters in my home, I prefer the felines best of all! (totally not a 54 year-old cat lady-boy).

        1. Mojeaux

          Mmmm hmmm. ?

          1. Festus

            Mo gets it! Fuck all the rest of y’all!

          2. Spudalicious

            So you live in a trailer park?

        2. 54 year-old cat lady-boy

          Is this one of those weird HM anime things?

            Dang it, trshmnstr beat me to the punch. I guess that’s why he’s the Supreme Overlord.

          2. Festus

            I’ll reiterate. I lurve Kittehs!

      3. Mad Scientist

        Cats aren’t even pets. They’re non-paying tenants who live in your house and treat you like staff.

        1. Festus

          Yes. And?

        2. Libertesian

          Just like kids… I was tricked into making 2 of them, but I draw the line at cats.

        3. Creosote Achilles

          Oh nonsense. My cat greets me at the door. She loves to sit in the recliner beside me, listens to instructions, and I’ve taught her to beg if she wants human food. She can also let me know she wants to play by going and getting a toy that she doesn’t like, but is easy to carry and coming up and sitting in front of me with it in her mouth until I get the other feather.

          1. Mad Scientist

            So, you have a feline-shaped dog.

          2. Festus

            One of my felines is the dog-cat. Runs to the door when visitors arrive, wags his tail when he’s happy, bounces around like a retard at feeding time.

          3. Mojeaux

            My cat taught himself (and us) how to play fetch when he was a kitten. He regularly loses his toy though. And if his sister gets near it he growls at her.

            I wanted to name him Dog, but Mr. Mojeaux disagreed.

      4. Libertesian

        Hi Mojeaux! My son has been begging for a cat, but Dad can only tolerate him or a cat, not both.

        1. Mojeaux

          HA HA HA!!! I pulled you out of lurkdom!

          1. Libertesian

            Perhaps — beats shoveling more snow!

          2. Festus

            Phssst! Shovelling? We have Wives and snowblowers for such menial tasks.

          3. Libertesian

            I have both, but I needed to get outta the house for awhile to avoid stir-crazy children.

          4. Mojeaux

            I had to go to the post office for a client, then later I had to pick up the husband at the mechanic’s, so I’ve been out twice now. People don’t seem to be too crazy.

          5. mindyourbusiness

          More seriously, I work for a company contracted to a government agency, my Wife same deal and of my four step-children only one of them doesn’t work for the government at all and that’s because he’s on the dole.

          1. But Enough About Me

            Aren’t you in B.C.? The spousal unit and I appear to be the only two people in the province that don’t work for the government either directly or at arms’ length. This place is weird.

            This is what happens when free enterprise is ham-strung by regulation. The pie gets divided until there ain’t no pie anymore.

          3. Mad Scientist

            one of them doesn’t work for the government at all and that’s because he’s on the dole.

            Still paid by the government!

          4. Festus

            Yeah but I said “work”. I contract to Canada Post, Wifey works for CATSA and the three daughters are middling bureaucrats in various Provincial departments. The boy is just a bum.

        TPLO – left leg this time, right leg 2 1/2 years ago.

          Still worth it though.

          1. slumbrew

            Following the financial talk today, I’m feeling slightly self-conscious about how much this cost, but I know most here would do the same thing if they could swing it.

            She’s only 7 1/2, I’m not going to let her limp around for another 7-10 years, nor am I going to put her down, so here we are.

          2. Tundra

            Just did it as well. No regrets, and mine is 11 1/2.

      Agh. So now it’s the donut of shame? When I had to get my Choco stitched up she frumped really badly. We let her out to pee and she just stood there and dropped the cone into the snow.

      1. Spudalicious

        That’s quite and upgrade on the cone of shame.

        Glad it went well.

        1. Festus

          Agreed. Can’t stand to see them hurting. Get well, pupper-dupper!

      2. slumbrew

        Yeah, donut just arrived from the devil-Amazon today (making the world a worse place, obvs). The cone of shame didn’t go so great last time – I slept on the couch the first couple of nights, since she normally sleeps on the bed; she ended up using the cone to ram me awake multiple times throughout the night.

        So far, this seems to be going better – she’s sleeping with it on now.

    Among items police seized from the home were black ski masks. It is not known if they were the same as those shown above which the brothers sell online. Smollett said one of his attackers was wearing a ski mask when he was attacked.”

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6708821/Lawyer-two-black-Empire-extras-detained-Jussie-Smollett-attack-says-innocent.html

    Yeah, sure, he fought off two guys built like that while still holding a phone and a sandwich.

    1. They had the brothers’ attorney on, a young woman who looked like she might be in a bit over her head based on her responses to the TV reporter. “They’re not guilty, and they wish Jussie well” was her main comment.

      Wondering how long it is before these guys flip on the TV star. Or, if they really have a good deal with him, they take all the credit and just say it was their idea to get themselves famous. But paid kneecappers tend not to withstand investigations very well, right Jeff Gilooly?

    Have I mentioned recently that PM Zoolander might be in a spot of trouble? BBC finally noticed and is bullet-pointing it.

    Jody Wilson-Raybould: Three ways this could be a problem for Trudeau

    The Globe and Mail newspaper reported, citing unnamed sources, that someone in the prime minister’s office pressured former justice minister and attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to push for a legal favour for the Canadian firm.

    Canada’s independent ethics commissioner, who advises politicians on how avoid to conflicts between public duties and private interests and investigates possible contraventions, has launched an examination into those allegations.

    Mr Trudeau has denied anything improper happened, saying the government followed all the rules in its handling of the matter.

    But in a shock move, Ms Wilson-Raybould suddenly resigned from cabinet, catching Mr Trudeau off guard.

    BTW she’s not a “former justice minister” because she resigned – he moved her to a lower Cabinet position last month.

    Hilariously, this is over a Quebec construction company paying bribes in Libya. It’s how you do business in Libya! And in Quebec!

      Definitely in Quebec. That effin’ province makes an art out of public and private corruption. I generally hate the creation of new laws, but if some pol suggested that we should have a Constitutional amendment that forbade PMs from the province of Quebec, I’d be totally down with that.

    2. Rufus the Monocled

      This story.

      What’s amazing is Quebec and some journalists are closing ranks with….SNC LAVALIN! Not the rule of law or the fact Trudeau acted unethically. Nope. Everyone does it!

      Now you know why Quebec is Canada’s Illinois, NY, California and Mississippi. It tolerates corruption because ‘chez nous’. Worse, they invoke some bull shit about ‘Calgary and Toronto’ doing the *same thing*.

      It’s tribalist nationalism. They do that same thing with that ward of the state Bombardier. We *must* bail it out because Made in Canada/Quebec and Jerbs!

      I don’t think they thought this through properly. You can’t have a PM doing shit like that or else we’re no different than the Chinese. Then again, Trudeau and Obama admire authoritarianism, amirite?

      I know someone who worked at SNC. And this person was as high up as they come. I vacation with him.

      SNC-Lavalin is as corrupt as they come. But so is the government. So he tells me on the beach with some beer.

      1. But Enough About Me

        Heh.

        When the spousal unit and I went from Alençon in Normandy to Barcelona by train, SNCF had us on five separate trains that day, and three of them had mechanical problems that contributed to our arriving four hours late into Barça.

        All three of those trains were made by Bombardier; the two trains that worked flawlessly were German-made.

        Fuck Bombardier.

        1. Rufus the Monocled

          That company should have gone out of business by now. A guy we hung out with for a while was a Bombardier. He was estranged from the family affairs. When we started an investment club one of the stocks proposed was Bomb. He warned against it Basically, he said it was a corrupted mess. How’s that for insider information!

      2. Festus

        If this weren’t Canada and the CBC weren’t covering the story this would lead to a Watergate moment. Quebec is going to fuck us into another four years of “sunny ways”.

        1. Festus

          Oh, and Wilson-Raybuald is just another cunt of a different flavour. A STEVE SMITH on all of their houses!

          1. Rufus the Monocled

            Her father seems to know how to operate around media and government. Yeh, I agree.

            But one has to wonder if in this case she may be in the right. If she speaks anyway.

          2. Festus

            Oh yeah, he’s smooth. He’s been carrying that pry bar for forty years and she’s no slouch in that regard. Just goes to show how badly Justin is in over his head when he appoints scorpions to captain frogs across the river.

        2. Rufus the Monocled

          I keep being told how Quebec hates Trudeau. Except when it suits them fine.

          If this province votes this miserable cunt in, it will be disappointing to poutine levels.

          1. Festus

            Now, now. Poutine is a flavourful and filling snack that Canada has grown to love. Please don’t besmirch poutine with this political fooferah. After all, It’s not about Oo’s arteries were clogged, it’s about people!

          2. Spudalicious

            Poutine is the only worthwhile thing to come out of Canada.

          3. Mad Scientist

            Alanis Morissette, Justin Bieber, and Gordon Lightfoot disagree!

          4. Spudalicious

            Okay, I’ll give you Gordon Lightfoot.

          7. Spudalicious

            Which William Shatner? Fat cop William Shatner should have stayed in Canada.

          8. Heroic Mulatto

            It’s true that America made him fat. We didn’t deserve such a sweet prince.

    “I Asked My Crushes Why They Won’t Sleep with Me

    Explanations of sexual desire is a box of chocolates, ranging from dusty old white men to contemporary critical theorists. Freud attributes sexual attraction to damage caused by parents, while Darwin explains it is determined by traits competitive in the race to reproduction. Psychiatrist and postcolonial thinker Frantz Fanon and Black feminist scholar Hortense Spillers argue that desire is shaped by broader social forces like colonialism and the legacy of chattel slavery, respectively.

    Simply, some say desire is a predetermined variable, while others find it to be something in which we are inculcated. But we also know that desire is flexible: for example, trans girls’ (and more broadly, trans people’s) sexual attractions often change after starting transition. And when studies support the obvious—that most cis people, queer and straight alike, wouldn’t date trans folks—I’m left wondering what it would take for someone to want to fuck me.

    To be clear, whatever the indecipherable mechanics of male lust may be, it’s not that boys as a category won’t fuck me. (Grindr begs to differ.) Rather, it’s that I, along with many other trans girls, are quick to label guys who openly and eagerly desire us as “chasers,” a pejorative used for suitors who see trans women as a part-time kink or a full-time game. So, I quickly write off these sexual solicitors. Instead, I thirst for the boys who have only ever chased cis girls. It’s these guys who won’t fuck me.

    When a straight guy says he is not into me, nor other trans women, I feel butthurt–emotionally and, unfortunately, not physically. Smart girls would just walk away and actually find someone who is into them. My desire is just as biased as these men’s. I don’t want to find others. I want them.”

        Makes sense. What straight man doesn’t yearn to suck a woman’s penis?

      2. Stinky Wizzleteats

        Bottom line: Is there a Y chromosome involved?

        1. Mojeaux

          ^^^^

        2. Brochettaward

          I mean, really, if there’s a penis involved, isn’t it always a little bit gay?

          1. Brochettaward

            To be clear, my own thesis is that the only fully hetero sex is two or more females with no phallic like objects.

            As a matter of fact, all my friends happen to be drag queens.

            Hell, HM’s a drag queen.

          3. Timeloose

            Don’t feel bad, my wife and her friend just put on wigs and sequence shirts to do a “Drag off”

    “So to recap, a member of the public asked @AOC why her boyfriend is listed as staff in a public document and Twitter locked him out for asking. Don’t be impertinent to powerful public officials on Twitter, folks!”

    https://twitter.com/rkylesmith/status/1096442823023489024

    1. Brochettaward

      I’m pretty sure half the media members with blue check marks spend most of their time on there hurling insults at Trump as part of the #resistance.

    2. Rhywun

      I heard he has the standard gov address that “spouses” get. Seems a little odd to extend that to “the man she’s currently sleeping with” but is he really “staff”?

    3. Breet Pharara

      Because I have to: The guy asking the question posted the AOC’s boyfriend’s email. Yes, an email available in the public records, but apparently posting any email info triggers an automatic ban within the system. What’s more, I’d say that is a completely reasonable policy to autoban potential doxxes like that and sort it out manually later. Don’t like defending twitter, but I think this is a case of no one did anything wrong but policies in place to prevent the worst abuses caught an innocent post in their net through no actual malice.

        I’m taking a personal day to hang out with my gf. It’s a “holiday” for her from her job.

    2. straffinrun

      Same here as long as I blow off optional work on Monday. Cheers!

    3. Akira

      I had the most fucking frustrating week ever, and I should come in on the weekend to get caught up on some stuff, but fuck it.

      I already decided I’m going to the Chinese massage parlor then cracking into a $50 bottle of rye whiskey and throwing some brisket burgers on the grill.

      Hell, maybe even go to the gun range! My local outdoor range got shut down for some alleged stray bullets, but there’s still an indoor one. My friends never want to go there since you have to pay by the hour, but I think it’s worth it because they have a fancy-ass setup where you hang your target, dial in the distance you want on an electronic keypad, and the target zooms out there on the motorized track. No waiting around for a ceasefire, and no worrying about some idiot fiddling with their gun while you’re downrange.

      1. Brochettaward

        I already decided I’m going to the Chinese massage parlor

        I believe you already covered this in the past, but that would be the one that does not – I repeat – does not provide a happy ending? Why would you continue to pay for such a service?

        1. Akira

          Well you never know – maybe they do offer that service, but they need to know I’m “cool” before they offer it…

      2. Timeloose

        That is some manliness on display Akira.

        1. Festus

          *grumbles* Fucking Americans with your indoor/outdoor shooting ranges! We have to make do with Cosmic Bowling come Friday night.

          1. But Enough About Me

            Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis? I go to The Range at Langley all the time. Indoor, electronic, tactical range, blah blah blah. Don’t know if they still do it, but they used to do a Friday Night Shoot-em-up there where you could blast away at various pieces of office equipment that you’d learned to hate over the years. Very cathartic.

          2. Akira

            they used to do a Friday Night Shoot-em-up there where you could blast away at various pieces of office equipment that you’d learned to hate over the years. Very cathartic.

            Damn man, that sounds awesome. As far as I know, no ranges around here let you bring in any kind of objects other than plain targets and clay birds.

            I guess it’s one more reason that I need to pursue a large piece of land out in the country…

          3. Festus

            It’s hard to get a FAC with my history, let alone the rest so cosmic bowling remains. Crossing the border would be a crap shoot.

          4. But Enough About Me

            You don’t need a PAL (the new name for what used to be called the FAC) to shoot at The Range at Langley. They rent guns. Even the .50-cal. It makes a very big boom. ;-)

      1. Brochettaward

        You know how you know Trump isn’t an evil fascist? He lets people like Eugene Gu hurl insults at him on Twitter on a daily basis and probably gets a kick out of it.

        1. straffinrun

          It’s the perfect troll job. Post something slightly mocking at your enemies and watch them stumble over themselves to fill the page with lame comebacks. I’m beginning to think Trump is one of the only people in the world that knows that one thing Twitter is good for.

          1. Stinky Wizzleteats

            Ilhan Omar is an amazing woman but many of us are legitimately scared to defend her. That’s how political speech gets silenced in America. None of us support anti-Semitism but this has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the fear of criticizing the powerful AIPAC lobby.

            If anyone knows there are a ton of Jews in medicine, it’s me. (About half my family) But just what is he “legitimately scared” about? Just what “power” does AIPAC have over Gu’s daily life? Is he afraid they will send some Mossad assassins to his house?

            If you have to say you “don’t support anti-Semitism”, odds are likely good that your a Jew-hating piece of shit.
