While the goyim are out, the Jews and Italians are practicing their own brand of carpentry with hammers and nails. I’m the mirror image of the Shabbos Goy, filling in where the Catholics are too busy eating crackers and drinking wine, or whatever the fuck they do.
Anecdote from my childhood: my paternal grandfather used to have a weekly poker game. He and his buddies would play cards, smoke cigars, and lapse into Yiddish when they wanted to say something not suitable for my ears (which was useless since I understood Yiddish quite well). One of the guys was Uncle Marvin- not actually my uncle, but all the poker guys were “Uncle.” Uncle Marvin was one of the younger guys, relatively, and was always quite dapper and charming. Anyway, years later, when Spiro Agnew became Vice President, Uncle Marvin became governor of Maryland (“The Cradle of Graft”). During his term, my parents went over to Israel for a tour, and whenever someone would ask them where they were from and they’d respond, “Maryland,” invariably the reaction was, “Oh, you guys have that Jewish governor who’s sleeping with a shiksa.” Everyone seemed to know this. This was puzzling to them, since he was married to a Jewess named Bootsie, and there was no hint of a scandal of that sort. Fast forward a year, suddenly the news breaks that Uncle Marvin was indeed banging a shiksa on the side, whereupon Bootsie locked him out of the governor’s mansion and held it hostage until he could pay her off. For the next several years, he jumped into more dangerous but more lucrative cons and scams to keep funds flowing to Bootsie The Scorned. And inevitably, he got caught and unlike Agnew, actually had to go to jail. Maryland politics at it’s best, and an interesting insight into the Jewish Telegraph that is Israel. So…. Happy Birthday to Governor Marvin Mandel.
Please please please please please please! OMG that will be so entertaining!

As the internet goes, foot fetishism is pretty tame, but it’s still one of the least comprehensible things to me.
I gave up trying to understand people.
Gave up = never bothered to try?
Last three benchmarking tests identified it as a problem process and it was disabled.
Yep. I gave up trying to understand myself most of all
Fetishes are one helluva drug. I got no idea myself and I was a fuggin psychology major *insert laugh track here*.
I like a good pair of feet – and don’t like gals with big ones – but it’s not a fetish. ::hides his copy of Foot Fetish Fancier::
Judgement free zone, you’re safe LH.
Judgment-free zone? This ain’t no Planet Fitness!
For one thing, we don’t throw people out who actually train to get stronger rather than just exercise.
+6 reps is cardio
I have a coworker who lifts at a Planet Fitness six times a week. Says its great. there’s only one deadlift platform, and its always open.
Meh. I got stronger and lost weight at a Planet Fitness. The laws of kinesthesiology don’t work differently thee than at any other gym in the universe.
UNCLE WARTY SEZ “LIFT MOAR!”
WHAT ARE YOU WEARING ON YOUR FEET???
I don’t get the foot-fetish. I mean, I get that other people have things that turn them on, and good for them, but I personally don’t get it. Feet look like distorted little mutant hands.
And every guy into feet was really into them. Like the vagina feet fleshlight in the pics, really into them
Crawling around on the floor surrounded by all those cooing Aunties must have imprinted on them or something. That’s how R. Crumb explains his thick leg/big ass fetish.
Go on, just dip your toes in it..
Timely for me. Wife and daughter are arguing about some mundane piece of paper the daughter lost. Kid is crying and wife is still nagging her, so I came in to help find the paper. Walk through the living room and stepped on a tack. Fucking thing went all the way in. At least the kid got to learn some new language. “Why would you say that in front of our child?” As if I had a choice.
Ouch, my man. Hope your foot recovers soon.
At least my expletive filled tirade stopped their fight. Small price.
That is…true, there is always a silver lining. I neither envy nor miss those kinds of fights.
This is why I wear shoes in the house.
I hope the injury wasn’t too severe and you recover promptly. Perhaps some sole food will help?
Touche.
Seriously though, get better soon.
Not a problem. The ball of my feet are like naugahyde.
Fun fact – They sell naugas
Can’t do what my waifu does.
I wasn’t suggesting anything of the sort.
You heel!
Ugh – when I was ~12 years old, I stepped on a fence section that had blown over during the night. A long nail went right into my foot; almost all the way through. I got to know – to a small degree – what Jesus felt.
Mine was a loose stair step to the garage. Didn’t go all the way through, but I howled like it did.
+1 tetanus shot
Yup.. I did the same thing with a board on a construction site when I was about 10. I still remember the feeling as the nail pushed its way through the rubber of my converse sneakers. All the way through the ball of my foot…. And then it got stuck.
I had to sit down and pry the board off of my foot.
Tetnus shot was worse….
I was 13 and chasing a cow that got out. It plowed through a fence by a barn we were tearing down.
I jumped the fence and a nail came through the top of my boot.
I was already pissed and didn’t even feel it until I got the cow back where it escaped from.
Then I couldn’t hardly walk it hurt so bad.
Didn’t have to get a tetanus shot, that was one thing we were always up to date on.
I remember soaking my foot in some water antiseptic mix my Mom made and in seconds it looked like cherry Kool-Aid.
Adrenaline makes things happen…
Happy Passover.
When we were renovating (gutting and rebuilding) my nightclub I stepped on a block of wood with a nail sticking out. It somehow slid all the way through the sole of my work boost, into the lower joint of my big toe, all the way through and out the top of the boot. Hurt like hell, and was a bitch to pull out, but it never got infected and healed in less than a week. I miss being in my 20s, these days I’d probably end up in the hospital.
Make sure you know when your last Tetanus shot was. That shit is a horrible way to find out the human body doesn’t like wounds caused by rusty metal.
And get used to the wife nagging. Even though they never say so when they do their vows, it is part & parcel of what they intend to inflict.
Engrish or Nihongo?
My wife is Japanese and she bought a new cloth wallet.
Before she even got the price tag off she tells me it “got rip” and she wasn’t sure what to do.
I suggested maybe super glue to keep it from spreading.
This really confused her and we went back and forth a few minutes.
She finally showed me the wallet and it had LIPstick on it.
Does that make me a lacist?
This is why I hate cops. Even the not-guilty ones are happy to circle the wagons to defend the dirtbags and incompetents.
98% of cops give the rest a bad name.
I think you meant to say 99%, right?
Well done with the links, Old Man
Over the years, there’s been a desire to change the name of Swastika Acres, but the legal process to do so wasn’t easy — requiring 100 percent of property owners to be on board, according to city officials. Cherry Hills Village adopted a new ordinance requiring just 51 percent owner approval.
Admit it, if any of you lived there, you would have voted no to troll everyone.

I’d have voten no because I don’t like busybodies. If that counts as trolling in this case, so be it.
Fuck you. You keep giving me the fucking Swastika Acre leads. Stop being an asshole and give me the good leads. I want an El Dorado
You can’t play the man’s game, you can’t close them, and then tell your wife your troubles.
That movie always gets referenced in the Friday AM links.
What movie?

A few years ago, I found out that SP had never seen it. We got 10 minutes into it and she made me turn it off.
Me, I can recite whole sections of the movie. I even started a presentation at a sales meeting at my old company with AIDA. No one got it.

I know he didn’t write it, but I am reminded of the film In the Company of Men. My sister did not like it because she said she couldn’t believe that men would do that in real life. I made it very clear to her that they do, which is why I really liked the film.

Indeed, I would.
I was hoping for a better punchline, like “MAGA Acres” or something. “Old Cherry Hills” pffffft.
“Fasces Fields”
I would’ve voted for Hammer and Sickle Acres.
Yup, leave it to Team Red to do stupid shit when all they have to do is just shut up and sit back as the Democrat Donner Party goes in full swing.
More proof that all politicians deep down believe they own everyone else.
Look it makes no sense to allow the government to enslave an 18 year old but not too let them drink or smoke.
Here here, man. 1000% this. You can get your ass shot off for Uncle Sam in the middle of a shithole, vote for people who can effect the next few years of your life, and get into heavy college/credit card loans, but God forbid you want to drink or smoke at fugging 18.
They are also going after them for wanting sex…
And according to the thread up some, for being into feet!
I would love to see their faces if they knew the degeneracy that went down in the Land of the Rising Sun. Meanwhile, BRB, gotta go to the store to buy a bottle of liquidized OL scent.
Is it like a Victorian thing over there? Like people wound up so tight that when their freak flag flies, it really flies?
It’s actually not that incongruous, if you consider that the government can tell its property to avoid consuming certain things, just as it can order its property to fight to the death in a ditch.
They changed the credit card part ten years ago.
Morning!
I wonder how far the Dems will get with the obstruction angle. At least they give given up on Russia.
I think Trump wins in 2020 anyway, but if they go down the Impeachment Road they might get absolutely crushed
They’re practically running the campaign for him. I had an argument with my mom the other day about all this. Sure the Dems got a lot of people lined up, but with how batshit and socialist they all are, might as well vote for Trump. Personally, I’m just waiting to see what develops before I pull the lever but with this stupidity and nonsense, I might actually vote for the Orange Man Bad.
Yep. Could be the first time in many elections that I don’t vote for the L candidate.
Yeah, a plethora of equally shit candidates is not a strength, IMHO.
About like this:
“Obstruct what?”
“The investigation!!!”
“The investigation that turned up no evidence, saw no Executive privilege invoked and was cooperated with, per the Special Counsel?”
“REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!”
This shit has all been a desperate attempt at a coup. And sadly, it is so the crooked marxists/fascists peddling bigger brother government can protect the Obama admin and the top men of said administration that ran the weaponized bureaucracy from the numerous and wide spreading criminal activities they engaged in. The collusion fable was created/doubled down on to hide the desperate failed attempts to entrap Trump and Trump people before the election, and then again after, and carried on as cover for an even more desperate attempt to make Trump or his people do something that they could then label as obstruction. The Mueller report, a travesty of a report that basically says we have no evidence of any crime, but we unless Trump can prove otherwise we still believe he did something wrong, is a stain on the justice system. We are a fucking banana republic. Shame on the Obama administration for making that change to America.
And sadly, it is so the crooked marxists/fascists peddling bigger brother government can protect the Obama admin and the top men of said administration that ran the weaponized bureaucracy from the numerous and wide spreading criminal activities they engaged in.
This. If anybody thinks the warp speed descent into insanity was solely because of Trumphitler, they’re sorely mistaken. They’re going full on Alinskyite deflect and project.
I swear to God, I heard on NPR last night (before my morbid curiosity was fully sated) a woman breathlessly declaring that Trump’s obstruction of the investigation was clear evidence that he has something to hide, and anyway, if he hadn’t obstructed the investigation it would have ended sooner, so he’s guilty of having wasted valuable time and resources.
Trump MUST PROVE he didn’t commit a crime!
If you doubted the left likes banana republics, this shitshow and their insanity should clear that all up for you.
Honestly, I’m not sure what pisses me off more, the scumbaggery itself or the hypocrisy of people who are cheering it on.
Why not both?
So… if I get charged with something that I didn’t do. But “obstruct” the investigation, I can go to jail. Hell of a country we’ve got here.
Anyways, politically speaking, I think it’s a losing game for the Dems if they go down that road. Sure their base will gobble it up, but it’s too complicated for the average Joe. ie – “So the president is innocent of colluding with Russia but you impeached him on.. what now? Protesting his innocence?”
This charade has never been about any real crime on Trumps part, but about protecting the democrat crime syndicate – and specifically Obama and Hillary whom led that effort that weaponized the government bureaucracy in favor of team blue and then used it to commit a plethora of crimes – from being exposed as the criminal entity it is.
What I wonder about is how these media and political talking heads can get up every morning and look themselves in the mirror, knowing what they know and continue to do what they do. I’ve lived a lie before and believe me, it’s like dying a thousand deaths every waking moment.
>>look themselves in the mirror
I’ve often wondered that myself but deluded people often find a way to continue their insanity.
This isn’t about delusion as much as it is about the fact that these people have never been more than dnc operatives with bylines and their identity is steeped in the left’s dogma to the point that they believe they are smart and goodly for believing the tripe they do.
See, these asshats were instrumental in getting Obama elected, by peddling a positive image, hiding the fact the guy was an inept and radical moron of no real intelligence (don’t confuse smarts with animal cunning), and preying on the whole “Are you not voting for him because you are a racist” meme. Obama was their golden boy. They bamboozled the electorate and put him in the WH. They are vested and invested in Obama, and they feel compelled to protect his legacy, and indirectly their own.
Obama going down for the corrupt administration he ran and the criminal behavior that was the norm would cement the fact that he was not just inept, but actually make Nixon look like a boy scout in comparison, and would crush them. It would force them to eat crow, question their belief that they are superior because they believe the leftists trope, and have to admit the left is really dirty and willing to do anything for power.
That ain’t gonna happen with these people. They just can’t go there without it being an existential crises. So, they double down on the stupid. Mental disorder.
They are doing God’s work to save the nation from the Drumpfen Fuhrer!!!
I don’t think everyone has a functional conscience the way we do. I work for a brazen crook, and I think he probably sleeps like a baby at night.
“obstruct”
Yea. Idk when rhetorically defending oneself became a crime.
Defening yourself against the Inquisition has always been a crime.
T: Fuego, fuego. (makes fire motion with his hands, then blows on the tips

E: Oh, fire, fire. Ah good, so let’s recap. Um…if I admit that I’m in love–

E: Sorry — head-over-heels in love — (T makes various motions to indicate
each thing) with Satan and all his little wizards, then you will remove my
testicles with a blunt instrument–
T: Una (polana?), una polana.
E: …resembling some kind of gardening tool but we can’t quite get it. Um, and roast them over a large fire.
T: Si’, si’.
E: Whereas if I don’t admit that I’m in love with Satan and…and…all his…
his little wizards, (T again is making appropriate gestures for each item)
you will hold me upside down in a vat of warm marmalade.
T: (holds his hands out, expecting more) …*y*…
E: *And* remove my testicles with a blunt…oh I see. Well, well, in that case,
I love Satan.
T: (excited) Ohh ho ho! (produces instrument)
E: Oh, it’s a *scythe*…
Mark Levin raged for 15 minutes this morning, calling the Mueller Report an ‘Op-Ed’. He was not pleased, to say the least.
Not a big fan of the guy, but he is correct that this was not a report that should ever have been issued by a special council. A council’s job is to return a report that provides evidence that a crime was committed and action was needed, or report there was nothing to go bye. This pile of crap was nothing but an attempt to give team blue some means to keep this coup attempt going by giving them enough red meat to throw at the morons that want to overturn the election of 2016.
Banana republic!
Personally, I think it’s bullshit that you can be called to testify before Congress about something that isn’t a crime and potentially go to jail for contempt if you don’t.
Since Trump did absolutely nothing to actually obstruct the investigation into a non-existant crime, and never once claimed executive privilege and told everyone to fully cooperate, I would guess they won’t get very far legally, and they know it. This is all just more bullshit to try to keep their based churned up like the morons they are.
Mueller’s report was not about providing any kind of legal solution, but about creating enough doubt so team blue could use it to crucify Trump in the court of public opinion and proceed with the coup attempt they absolutely need in order to prevent the real criminal activity of the Obama admin from being looked into.
Exactly, they are hoping to use this to run out the clock until 2020 hoping they get a Dem in the presidency to make this all go away. They are increasingly desperate because they know if Trump is reelected they are fucked.
Funny thing is that I am starting to suspect that this shitshow is precisely why they will end up losing in 2010.
I agree, but they are too immersed in their own bubble to see it. They still believe the mainstream media control the narrative.
^^^THIS^^^
And as this revelation sinks in, I expect them to demand government control of news. To make sure the right news is reported, you know..
The mainstream media still controls the agenda, even though they have lost control of the narrative. Until they lose control of the agenda, the urgency to squash alternatives will be low.
But he thought about firing Mueller! How much more rock solid evidence do you need???
Loyal opposition respecting the peaceful transfer of power. Member when that was a thing?
Team blue, and for that matter the team red establishment types under the delusion that this is about an outsider taking power, are making sure everyone knows they will not tolerate anyone but one of them being in power.
Yawn.
Us Minnesodans saw this happen back in ’98 when Jesse won the governor’s seat. He completely unified the GOP and DFL in their undying hatred of an outsider winning.
Both TEAMs may hate each other, but an outsider is intolerable.
If you look at what Trump has managed to accomplish, and then despite complete insane resistance from team blue and passive resistance from team red, he makes your average pol look bad. Establishment types have to hate the plebes finding out that they were lying to us when they told us they couldn’t deliver because the process was long and arduous. The mob suddenly realizing they should hold the political class accountable and that failure should have consequences is the most frightening thing that these inept cunts can imagine.
After all, the serfs should shut up and let their betters do what their betters want.
Also, the revelation that someone who is totally inexperienced as politician can just step into the Presidency and do a competent job is horrifying to career politicians who want everyone to believe that their long careers of “public service” have provided them with some sort of special competency. This just exposes them as the incompetent grifters they usually are.
From the track record, it appears we are better off with people who have never served in elective office before, and had management roles in posts with real consequences for failure.
Charles Cooke had some speculation on this a few months before the 2016 election. We was musing about what would happen if this numbnuts got into office and things were…more or less the same than if Rubio or Hillary had won.
It has got to be frightening to them that this inexperienced doofus has gotten so much done, and he has done that despite the swamp trying its best to fuck him over at every turn. Can you imagine what would have been accomplished if team blue was not forcing the WH to spend so much time dealing with the coup attempt?
Gov Jesse said he hadn’t realized the swamp was so deep and so wide (paraphrasing)
Solid lynx, OMWC! The Chicago kids rioting being referred to as “teens” is reminiscent of the Iran’s 1979 hoodlums being called “students”. That music link. Whycome girls in mini dresses don’t move like that no mo? That set my not yet descended balls into free-fall circa 1970 or so…
whether the president’s behavior warrants impeachment.
Only if Tweeting rises to the level of “high crimes and misdemeanors”. Anyway, let the shitshow commence. *grabs beer and popcorn*
It’s not like they can campaign on policy issues – gun control, open borders, and higher taxes aren’t big winners. Their problem is that they are too stupid to understand that “obstruction of justice” without an underlying crime is a pretty thin thread.
I am wondering how much of this is the angry rich donors that ponied up millions in campaign contributions and other “special funds” wanting their money back now that team blue has failed to properly deliver on their promise of kicking Trump out of office and restore the Hillary empire.
At this point they have all but guaranteed that Trump wins again next year and gets the House back.
Between the hard lurch into USSR style marxism, the growth of the “Israel is evil” caucus of team blue, the insanity around the identity politics, and this, I suspect team blue voters will be demoralized and Trump supporters energized. Granted, team red will find a way to undermine itself, but at this point, the moronic and desperate need to protect the criminal syndicate, serves only to make it worse for them when the axe falls.
My SSD should be arriving today. The post office says it’s on the truck. With any luck I’ll be installing windows by the PM Lynx.
I have to check on the linux patches I kicked off on my home server, since I decided to use both pi hole and spybot andti-beacon to try to reign in win 10’s tendency to tattle too much.
Social Security Disability? Geez, aren’t you enough of a dead weight on the taxpayers already?
I think I’d be making less if I were paid to not work at home rather than to not work at the office.
I’ve been running Pi-Hole for several months, but mostly for ad-blocking capabilities. Works well for that. I only very rarely run windows, so I’m not sure what gets beaconed back from me.
To much gets sent home, hence the extra effort I’m willing to put in to shut it down.
Understandable. I will have to look into tweaking my Pihole configuration to cover those, since I have a pair of windows 10 virtual machines.

I haven’t built a new rig in years, I miss doing it. Problem for me is that the technical gains since my quad-core 3.x GHz just haven’t been big enough to justify a rebuild. For me a graphics card upgrade every ~3 years has been enough to stay in the sweet spot on the performance curve.
That, and the pain of either (a) transplanting a Windows install or (b) re-installing everything from scratch is a big disincentive. Which one are you doing?
I had planned to do a transplant, but win7 went “Nope” and crapped out. So I’ll be doing a fresh install.
My problem was that I kept running out of memory. To get more I needed to change motherboards, and go to a different DIMM standard. That meant I couldn’t reuse the existing processor anyway.

Yankees dropKate Smith’s ‘God Bless America’ after being told about her racist songs
I’m a born and bred Yankee fan. but fuck Yankee Stadium (the old stadium was better). Someone went back eighty years to find something offensive.
And let’s not even speak of Fred Astaire in blackface!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuAIJhB45wM
Apparently Bing Crosby had a firm hand for his kids and John Wayne hated horses.
I was wondering why they had dropped Kate Smith since they never said anything on air. As a Yankee fan pissed already pissed about their shit performance thus far, fuck them for this idiocy.
I mute all the games, anyway. They didn’t even have the guts to say anything?
I had tickets for June, I just listed them on Stubhub. I’ll take a haircut, but fuck it.
I don’t know. That’s pretty racist. It’s not like the Yankees were refusing to hire back players at that time.
leon gets it. All it would take would be someone to ask how many black players on the team the same year she did those songs. Wonder if that question will ever be asked.
The old one was much better before they moved the fences in. That giant “death valley” center field gave it some real character.
Yeah I used to love that, too bad they decided to “fix” it.
Meh, 80 years is nothing. There are tribes around the world still stewing over centuries-old injustices.

That’s a beautiful song, Old Man, but a local radio station did a parody “White man, in the NBA…” so unfortunately that’s what I keep hearing.
Heard a guy on the radio breaking down the testimony from the Noor trial yesterday. Even he seemed pretty skeptical, especially about the ‘ambush’. Harrity even said that the deadly use if force was ‘premature’. No shit.
One interesting point was that Harrity didn’t make a statement for like 72 hours after the shooting. Is that normal? Am I allowed to do that as well?
As his Holiness reported yesterday, the Chief forbade his officers from attending the trial – so at least there is that.
True story: during grad school, I got a call from a drummer I had been playing with. “Got a gig tonight and need a flute. Wanna do it?” Sure, I always needed money. And it turns out that the pickup band was for Dave LaFlamme. Guy was pretty awesome on a range of instruments, not just violin.

Lemme guess, the drummer called from a payphone.

Climate change: Sir David Attenborough warns of ‘catastrophe’
>>dramatic action
You get a hovel, and you get a hovel!
In the BBC programme Climate Change – The Facts
Did he point out the facts that there has been no warming in about 20 years, and that all of the CO2 AGW models failed spectacularly?
I’m guessing not.
That’s not quite true, though often asserted. Regression analysis of the satellite data show about 0.1°C/decade warming. That’s not exactly massive and no-one has a good handle on either the anthropogenic contribution or the feedback mechanisms. In this case, the “more study is needed” trope is actually reasonable.
Wanting to collect more evidence to improve understanding of how the world works is the heart of science denialism.
We need two hundred more years of unaltered satellite data, given the lengths of the cycles we know about, to compare with the atmospheric composition and see if it has any measurable effect. The planet and the sun do not work on a political timescale.
How is waiting some 200 going to help the elite class remove enough of our freedoms and the ability to defend ourselves from them before we get tired of them being inept and constantly fucking us over now?
What’s that got to do with science?
The AGW movement is a fucking religious cult, dude.
I did overstate, but as you note there is no demonstration that any of this insignificant warming is due to any anthropogenic contribution, or just a natural warming cycle following “The Little Ice Age”. The 0.1°C/decade warming from the satellite data says nothing about actual long term trends since satellite data is too recent. Add in the fact that they are constantly “correcting” actual measurements of historical temperature data to make it seem cooler in the past. And the models did seriously fail, thus falsifying the hypothesis that increasing anthropogenic CO2 will result in a proportional increase in temperature.
The carbon-centric hypothesis has too many flaws and failures of prediction to be regarded as viable. Of those I am aware of, the solar-cycle hypothesis is the one I find most convincing.
But we still need more data – without ‘adjustments’ by parties with a desired result in ming.
For all I know that supposed rise is just error in the measurement/modeling system and should be discarded. And the one fundamental and incontrovertibly fact about climate, is that it will change. It has been changing since this rock was nothing but a molten ball of particles being pulled together by gravity and circling the young sun some 4.3 billion years ago.

“Well, it could have happened that way.”
/moves on to the next whopper
The report makes clear that the president’s obstruction of the F.B.I. and special counsel investigations crossed constitutional boundaries that could have merited criminal prosecution, if not for the Justice Department’s policy against indicting sitting presidents.
Of course I haven’t read it, but judging by the supposed damning portions of it that the
Democrat propaganda machinenew media is waxing retarded about, they really don’t have anything. That is, unless things that are wholly within the authority of the president, such as firing shyster FBI directors, are suddenly “obstruction of justice”.And if it’s so clear why did Muller say: we would have concluded that obstruction occurred if we had enough evidence but we don’t.
Never mind I’ve been reading that part wrong. They couldn’t rule out obstruction.
Yeah, well we also can’t rule out that Mueller fucks sheep, but that’s hardly a basis for a bestiality prosecution.
This is why the law exists that these reports are not supposed to be released and statements not given if there are no indictments, because it is wrong to use innuendo to smear someone where there is not sufficient evidence of an actual crime. Too bad everyone is on board with violating the law in this case.
That’s a complete lie. It is crystal clear in the report that policy had nothing to do worth it. They didn’t indict because they didn’t have the evidence to indict. Period.
I Want to Buy My Dying Mom One Last Night With a Stud
How terribly thoughtful and not at all creepy…
It is actually quite thoughtful, but this is the type of thing that he should discuss with Mom’s girlfriend(s) – as in “she wants this, I’m cool with it just don’t get me involved.”
So, yeah, a little creepy under the circumstances particularly if she initiated the convo.
FTFL – Stoya: Disclosure is crucial to consent. She can’t cleanly say yes to sex if she doesn’t know the conditions it is happening in.
No asshole, she articulated a desire and as a fiftysomething terminal cancer patient assumingly has no illusions about the options and presumably knows it will be… someone she wouldn’t date.
Really? I would have thought that a middle aged dying woman would totally believe that a young boy toy would be falling for her.

The partner of a Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot an unarmed woman who had called 911 to report a possible crime testified Thursday that he heard a thump on the officers’ squad car right before the shooting and feared a possible ambush.
So your solution is to ignore all rules of engagement and firearms use by failing to assess the situation and instead opening fire on anything that was moving.
Yes. Good shoot!
You aren’t worried about being ambushed by blonde Australian women?
Worried? No. Hopeful? Indubitably!
Seconded.

When I hear a thump in my house at night, I just start blazing away. Oops! I go through a lot of cats that way.
And buy spackle by the pailful
Part of the joy of cats is that they may be universally used to excuse strange noises in the night. “It’s just the cat, Dear, go back to sleep.”
“The cat plays the piano expertly then.”

Except that they’re not strange anymore. When I hear a loud crash in the kitchen at 3 am, it’s just “oh, they knocked the treat jar off the counter again.”

The neighborhood they were in is also the safest one in Minneapolis. They weren’t in Little Mogadishu or North Minneapolis where bad things do happen. They were in “almost a suburb” Minneapolis.
The idea that these assholes were worried about being ambushed there shows how big a pussy they both were.
..and lying to boot.
The neighborhood they were in is also the safest one in Minneapolis.
The Waite Park neighborhood might be just as safe. I have a friend who lives on 35th and Hayes Ave. NE and it doesn’t seem at all like it’s in Minneapolis. At least to this northsider.
To me this is particularly ironic as five days ago there was a big ol’ fight at Harbor House, the public housing about two blocks from my neighborhood, where two city cops responded, entered the melee, were repeatedly surrounded and shoved by a group of people, and didn’t even tase anyone. Seriously, it was recorded on a guy’s phone. One cop pepper sprayed a pile of combatants and dropped a hard check on someone who’d run back at his partner, then after he got swamped by a pile of fighters he shoved his way out and flicked his taser a few times to get their attention. Our feckless shitbag mayor, P.T. Barnum–I mean, Gavin Buckley–said he was “concerned” about police brutality, and even residents of the complex who saw the fight jumped on Facebook to defend the cops.
Man, that NYT thing is devastating:
Much of the most alarming conduct is well known: The president pressured officials, including Mr. Comey, to clear him publicly; he fired Mr. Comey because of his unwillingness to publicly state that the president was not under investigation, possibly to protect himself from an investigation into his campaign; he engaged in efforts to curtail the special counsel investigation, including by having his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski deliver a demand to Attorney General Jeff Sessions that he, too, publicly clear Mr. Trump and curtail the scope of the Russia investigation….
I look at that “pattern of obstruction” and see a President asking his subordinates, “Do you have anything, or not? If you do, why do you feel the need to go so far outside the scope of your original investigation? And, if you do have something directly related to this Russia nonsense, let’s see it.”
I like how they ignore that Rod Rosenstein recommended that Comey be fired.
I like how Rosenstein and Mueller are the bad guys now. Clown World, Ladies and Germs!
If they are able to come up with some new crazy accusation of bad things that Trump did, they will be allowed back into the fold.
The Bureaucrat Who Came in from the Cold.
Like Comey?
That is not the only important fact they are ignoring. I keep asking why Trump needs to be run out of office for a crime that din’t happen, while Clinton was given a pass for numerous real crimes, but can’t get any serious answers…

Second, obstruction of justice cases do not require that the most prominent underlying crime being investigated — in this case conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia — be proven.
But Trump is the one trampling te Constitution?
Fuck you, and the broom you rode in on, lady.
She’s just trying to heal the Party.
Look, I can understand there may be circumstances where voters would want the FBI to appropriately investigate a presidential candidate. Say the FBI gets a tip that one of the 2020 Democrat candidates is in the pay of Islamist terrorists. FBI investigates and finds the candidate is pure as the driven snow. Now, I would think, the voters would like to find out who gave them the bogus tip, etc. not let the matter drop. So, under what circumstances did the FBI decide to probe the Trump campaign in 2016? Just who falsely alleged “Russian Collusion?”
Shouldn’t that person, or persons, be required to face the music? While it is certainly possible that the FBI chose to investigate Trump on their own, they probably got pointed in that direction by someone. Maybe the Senate and the guy who controls the Justice Dept. can look into it a little bit?

It was collected by the diligent folks at the Romaine Pickers’ Union.
And while the report also details some exculpatory considerations, including the fact that the president, in his campaign, did not engage in an explicit or implicit conspiracy with the Russian government, the document paints a picture of a president who repeatedly tried to impede an investigation that he knew would be damaging to him, his family and his associates.
Shocking. Trump recognized this little fishing trip as exactly what it was: an attempt to undermine him by casting doubt on the legitimacy of the election, and refused to resign “in disgrace” as the shit flinging howler monkeys wanted.

When I was thirty-nine, I was found to have hepatitis-B and immediately tucked into a hospital bed, luckily in a two-patient room, and luckily with no cost to me. After nine long weeks, the bilirubin in my blood had dropped to an acceptable level and I was packed off to four weeks of convalescence cure (a Kur in German) at a beautiful lakeside sanatorium near Berlin, expropriated from the war-criminal Siemens family.

Holy shit, the Reason staff is melting down like Chernobyl over the Mueller report. It’s too bad Trump isn’t a reformed child molester or coke dealer so they could understand the implications of rogue prosecution of non-crimes.

The Suderman article is fucking hilarious.

The TDS of TOS was part of the reason (drink!) I was happy to leave that place. I mean I didn’t vote for the guy but I was hoping and praying he would win over the pure evil of Hillary.
It was the final straw piled on top of the fresh insult of stories important to the commentariat being ‘too local’.
Yeah, that was a pretty clear sign of things to come. I’ll take stories that err on the side of local, i.e. relevant, over thought pieces on why millenials should care about climate change and anal sex any day.
The line of thinking I’m seeing over there is, “The FBI didn’t know it was a witch hunt when they were doing their witch hunt, so Trump was ackchually obstructing a legit investigation.” Gee, I wish someone had told the FBI that the FBI was using bogus docs to start a witch hunt.
They’d been doing so much better until this too.
At least Robby’s stopped “to be sure”-ing every time he writes a free speech story.

they have managed to elicit a stream of rants from me the lake of which the internet has never seen.

You know, when Kate Smith recorded that racist song, the Yankees were refusing to hire black ballplayers. Maybe they should send themselves down the fucking Memory Hole. And I say this as a lifelong Yankee fan.
Same. My Yankee fandom stretches back to my earliest memories. I was raised to be one. I don’t even like the Kate Smith version, but this is silly bullshit.
80 year old lyrics that were a parody originally are apparently enough to unperson someone in 2019. Gotta love 2019.
The NYDN is on a Philly hate train lately. Between this and their reporting on the 76ers.
I posted this Truth Bomb of a movie from AOC last night, but I am doing it again in hopes that Suthen sees it and gets all excited about the prospect of getting help fixing up his shitty woods with the help of unionized kids from NYC and indigenous generational help. (around the 5 min mark)
I’m not going to watch all of that. For one second I randomly skipped ahead and saw “Change Everything” and decided that was enough for me.
I noticed that there was nary a whitey to be found in this jelly bean jar of inclusivity.

I’m perfectly okay with that in one place: The sugar cane fields here. They’ve only existed because of massive government subsidies in the first place. No issues with the water reclaiming the land.
I like the part wherein her brown buddy is planting trees while the pipelines are dismantled. Do any of these people realize how back-breaking it is to plant trees. The best part is that all of the out of work rig workers will be doing this FOR THE SAME WAGE.
Well Mr. Smarty-Pants, if you had looked carefully you would have seen that they had a solar powered back hoe in that picture to help them.
I guess I’m assuming it was solar powered because it was was in the glorious new Green Future and surely they can get everything done with green mechanical power.
Deplorables on treadmills hidden in the chassis.

You will see a distinct pattern of seedlings planted there, about 100 x 100 yards. That’s me busting my ass for two weeks, and I do mean busting my ass. I am too old for that nonsense. The tree planting crews we hire never have anyone over 30 years old in them for a good reason. I learned my lesson.
The other two 40 acre plots south of that is me casting seed. I will be casting seed from now on.
Fuck that little twit.
These euphemisms…
Suthen, didn’t you have a problem once where you planted trees than then hours later some animals ruined all of them? Wondering if the same thing will happen in this dopey project.
I planted acorns, walnuts, hickory nuts and pecans. Yes. Fuckin’ hogs came and rooted every single one of them up. I replanted with pine and now the pines are 30 feet tallish.
I planted yellow poplar once on 38 acres and within two weeks the deer had eaten them all. I replanted that in pine as well.
I dont get too mad about it. Life in the wild is hard on critters. I cant blame them for eating.
Oh…and I planted cypress about 20 yards out on either side of a creek for half a mile and the beavers came behind me and ate every one of them the same day. I guess I am a slow learner.
Nah, you just like feeding animals but don’t realize it yet.

The entire Green New Deal scheme shows, to me at least, that even the people pushing the whole Climate Change spiel don’t really buy into it. Think about it. If you believed that the world was going to end in just a few years if we don’t act immediately, would you load up your solutions with a bunch of crap that had, at most, a tangential relationship to the problem you were trying to solve? Me, I’d be looking for the simplest, easiest and cheapest solution to the problem I could find and I’d look to make signing off on my solution as easy as possible. But, the whole Green New Deal does the exact opposite. It pushes a laundry list of left-wing wish fulfillment. To me, that shows that its advocates don’t really believe there’s an urgent crisis that needs solving. It shows they only want to use the scare tactic as a means of leverage to push their agenda.
Honestly, I’d really love to see Cocaine Mitch offer up a bill authorizing 200 new nuclear power plants to be built in the U.S. With a limited regulatory framework. If Pol Thot and the Democrats aren’t willing to sign off on it, then the GOP can rub their Green New Deal noses in it in 2020.
I think everyone knows these people don’t really believe this shit, because their solution has always been political (and then marxism), but the ones that like that political solution play along.
Ah, Labour. Even when you try and reach out to the Jewish community you fuck up. Luckily the Mossad picked up on it before they deleted.

I’m missing something.

ooooh, love Creeping Death!

Same here.
I got it, but that’s because, despite my overwhelming Gentileness I’ve been to a seder.
I haven’t and JB’s hint hasn’t clicked whatever buried piece of knowledge it was supposed to,
I think the bread is supposed to be unleavened.
This. The picture has a loaf of bread, but Jews eat matzo at Passover.
Okay. Thank you everybody. I don’t know why I couldn’t remember it.
Bread and wine is a Christian thing, unleavened bread and bitters is a Jewish thing. Also Passover begins tomorrow, this is Good Friday.
Passover begins tonight at Sundown (all Jewish holidays begin at sundown the night before).
No bread during Passover is part of the whole thing. It represents our ancestors having to get the fuck out of
DodgeEgypt before the Pharaoh could catch up.Then 40 years wandering in the desert existing on manna.
And after that everything was smooth sailing for the Jews. I think.
Smooth sailing, yep, you lucky bastards. Nothing bad ever happens to Jews!
(all Jewish holidays begin at sundown the night before)
That much I knew, but I was thinking it was sundown tomorrow because I’ve only read the Easter story about 18,000 times and still got it wrong…
I wish there were a sinkhole that I could chuck Corbyn into. Roger Waters, too. Ignorant Twat. What happened to you Pink? You used to be cool and stuff.

House Judiciary Committee issues subpoena for ‘complete and unredacted’ Mueller report
House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., submitted a subpoena to obtain the “complete and unredacted” Mueller report Friday, a day after the redacted version became available to the public.
“This includes, but is not limited to, all summaries, exhibits, indices, tables of contents or other tables or figures, appendices, supplements, addenda or any other attachments whether written or attached in a separate electronic format,” the subpoena read.
Barring (heh…) a mistake on my part, I though the AG said this would be made available to Congress anyway.
But they have to do something! Else how can they maintain the illusion of fighting?
Without being able to stage a successful coup, they run the risk a lot of them end up in trouble, and maybe even behind bars (not the drinking kid, but the ones where the showers are dangerous when the soap is dropped).
I’ve read that grasping to the hull of a sinking ship usually ends in lacerations from barnacles and certain death from down-tow.
“Swim away! Swim away!”
Trusting Nadler not to leak something damaging to an innocent person swept up in this fiasco doesn’t sound like a good idea.
You had me at “Trusting Nadler”.
Shocking revelation
If we’re going to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, we’ll need an energy revolution. Specifically, we need to replace our dirty, fossil fuel-based grids and dirty, fossil fuel-powered vehicles with clean, carbon-free grids, and electric vehicles that charge off them. But there’s a big problem.
Making that future a reality will, among other things, require a lot of batteries: batteries to charge our electric cars; batteries to store solar power collected while the sun’s up and wind power harnessed when it’s gusty out. And as a new report by researchers at the University of Technology Sydney warns, that’s likely to drive demand for the metals used to build green batteries—as well as wind turbines and solar panels—through the roof.
In other words the clean tech boom is, at least in the short term, likely to fuel a mining boom. And that won’t come without cost.

The entire point of the report, she said, was to get that idea on relevant stakeholders’ radars, from policymakers to those who buy minerals, to ensure more responsible sourcing moving forward. She said that in talking with R&D folks in the renewable energy and battery space, a lot of them “truly believe that they’re helping to save the world.”
“And they’re surprised by this information and don’t want to be part of the problem,” Sampat continued. “So I think there is an opportunity for information to result in shifts.”
Anybody in any way surprised by this is a fucking retard.
is this a trick question???
Everyone knows that batteries are notoriously environmentally friendly to produce.
I mean, you just go to the store and buy them.

Online petition calls for teacher’s firing over ‘pathetic’ comment on second-grader’s worksheet
I love to hate on teachers l, but something doesn’t seem right with this one. Already thousands of people on the jump to conclusions bandwagon.
That’s a refreshing reply from the admin.
Unless it is just the usual smoke & mirrors…
I agree with the assessment of the child’s performance, and the principle that it should not have been written on the paper. Some members of that family might be able to read.
Review of kids’ drawings.
I like how it includes the kids’ ages along with the comments.
Funny related story. My 3 year old drew a “rocket”. My wife and I took a look at it and almost simultaneously said that looks like a rabbit vibrator. It’s now proudly displayed on our fridge.
lol
Also answered 2 of the problems incorrectly but that didn’t merit a comment. At least he was ‘close’ and that’s good enough. Perhaps the teacher wasn’t grading quality, quantity is where the action is or perhaps the teacher just plain didn’t know they were wrong.
“12-6=5” “3-2=5”
And below the red line: “13-5=2”
Those are worse than not getting as many done in three minutes as the instructor expected.
Look at the absolutely pathetic comment it’s written at an angle while the 13 in 3 is written straight across. Also it’s a lighter pink. Then the sad comment with a side face appears to be squeezed in. I’m thinking all she wrote was 13 in 3 minutes and the dad added the rest.
*sad face* damn phone
I disagree, the letting on the “13 in 3 min” looks too close to the handwriting of the rest. I’m not seeing a difference in ink, and the change in stence angle looks more like a pause to count the number actually answered and following the lines on the sheet when resuming.
We need the original document and better equipment to examine the writing.
Found the whole image. Says 13 in 3 minutes and its marked off at 11? That’s strange. Side note 13 in 3 minutes for a second grader doesn’t seem that bad to me.

Ah you’re right looks like it cut off.
If a teacher had written that on my homework, my father would not have been complaining about the teacher. He would have been chewing my ass out for not doing my job at school.
I wonder if this was a case where the kid is fairly bright, but was fucking off that day and the teacher called him out on it? I doubt the teacher would have wasted so much effort calling out a kid if he was a rock.
“If a teacher had written that on my homework, my father would not have been complaining about the teacher. He would have been chewing my ass out for not doing my job at school.”
So much this…
And people wonder why these kids are such snowflakes. It’s the fucking stupid parents doing dumb shit like this.
I can understand being upset at some indoctrinator trying to fuck over your kid, but at this? I would be asking the kid WTF they were up to as the parent.
Times have changed you dinosaurs!
I guess we need to remind folks that not all change is good….
Oh yeah. Veteran of that war. Parents always took the side of the Teacher because they knew even then that I was a lazy, dawdling bright kid that would push any button that came my way. Even when I was right I was wrong and the situation snowballed. I spent at least half of my days from age 10 to 12 in the Principals office. Funny how moving to a different school seemed to clear all that bullshit up in a heartbeat.
Ditto. (and I probably wasn’t doing my job in school – I graduated with a 3.002 from high school. I probably spent more time planning the minimum amount of work required to get it than actual school work.)
I discovered girls in 9th grade too, Leap.

The mere fact that Trump has not yet been dragged out of the White House in chains proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he obstructed justice and thwarted a completely legitimate investigation!
And they really believe that is so…
So, speaking of Spiro Agnew, my grandparents played tennis with him regularly at the Crofton Country Club. I was the only kid in my elementary school who was familiar with the name, which, oddly, did not increase my popularity for some reason.

A federal appeals panel has upheld California’s controversial “sanctuary state” law, ruling that the measure does not impede the enforcement of federal immigration laws in that state.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision, found that the state law, known as SB 54, limiting cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities does not conflict with federal law.
The judges said they “have no doubt that SB 54 makes the jobs of federal immigration authorities more difficult.” But “California has the right … to refrain from assisting with federal efforts
Ninth circuit, defending us from Bad Orange Man.
I wonder how they’d rule if Nevada stood up to Washington’s dictatorial overreach by lowering the drinking age to 18.
*May not be a perfect analogy, but so what.
Huh, I thought state laws dealing with immigration (Prop 187 and the AZ law) were overturned because that’s the domain of the Feds.
Never mind these sanctuary states & other political subdivisions are doing far more, including providing material aid and abetting flouting immigration law.
I don’t like it. But, I’m okay with it. I just hope they’re forced to respect precedent when another state declares itself a Second Amendment Sanctuary.
Bwahahahahaaaaa…..
Checks and balances.
In regards to the foot fetish thingy, I was once seated by myself at an outdoor cafe in Barcelona when a normal enough looking middle aged Spanish guy approached me and asked “por favor, puedo oler tus pies?” Which I thought he meant “can I see your feet” because he liked the handsome Haviana flip flops I was sporting (and it sounds close in Spanish, which he was speaking instead of Catalan). I said sure moving them a bit out from the table. He immediately fell to his knees and started taking deep sniffs of my feet to my amused revulsion and the horror of two Spanish chicks seated at the next table. I shoed him off and he scurried away to look for more unsuspecting feet on the mean streets of the city.
Hey, when you gotta sniff some feet, you gotta sniff some feet….
#mefoot
Did he at least say Mi Scusi?
Or was that guy Italian?
A spanish guy would have said “Me disculpa” or “Disculpa me”.. My paisans would say what you said there.
Never saw EuroTrip?
Was Adam Sandler in it? I only watch movies with Adam Sandler in it like Cartman does…
No, it was funny instead.
“Shoed him off…”
Boo!
Don’t be callous!
Muslim Woman Burned to Death in Bangladesh for Reporting Sexual Assault

Considering all the shit about the Trump report and the lunacy it has spawned, I figured we needed some uplifting news,/a>….
Sounds more like a relieving story.
It definitely takes a load off.
Hey, it’s not just all poop on the streets here. Often there are piles of needles to step over as well. It goes to show you how effective the City’s free needle program is working.
https://imgur.com/gallery/7cqYjIR
I’ll be parked by that tree later today working out of my truck. On the other side of the tree should be 15-20 junkies openly smoking crack and shooting up. I used to park on the other side of the street where they kept the junkies out from in front of the building I work on, but they got rid of the parking there to put in a bike lane a few months back.
*high five*
Not as bad here in Baja Washington, but I’ve found more needles around the entrance to my office building in the last couple of months than in the 15+ years before. Same with the shit (animal and human ) piles. Couple weeks ago, some guy was openly shooting up in front of the door. A month or so before that, a guy was shooting up in the parking lot. Not a care in the world that they’d get busted.
And this is in the “revitalized” downtown area, not the more scummy parts.
An aluminum can won’t last 30 seconds on the streets here because it has a 5 cent deposit. There are armies of old Chinese that take care of swooping those up. Yet needles are every-frickin-where. Shocking that when you put zero value on something people will act like it has no value.
So you saying they should put a price on returning used needles? I like that….
WAIT!
Put a price on bags full of shit too! Problem solved….
Are plastic bags banned still? We can do paper, then drop them off at someone’s doorstep and light them up,….
OK, I am being a dick. Sorry.
Some enterprising junkie should open up a tire-pump stand next to the bike lane.
It got so bad that at one of my sites they erected a ten foot razor wire topped fence to keep the vagrants out of the back lot. It’s south-facing so they would come there to recharge like iguanas. Needles, blood pools, feces, the whole nine yards.
I waver between compassion and a Spartan attitude towards homeless junkies. Help is out there if you really want it.
I used to have compassion. But that well is dry now.
Depends. Some are mentally ill. Some are violent. Some are gutter punks. You can’t really treat them all the same, which is what the government does by pretending they’re all just “down on their luck” which is probably the tiniest cohort among them.
We had an influx of refugees from the wildfires and they never left. Why would they? Our Government has concentrated dozens of agencies in the area that used to be the business district. Hundreds of loafers, wandering around and waiting.
Jebus – the local po-po would go on a baton twirling, skull cracking frenzy if the homeless population started taking over our streets.
Hey in DC they’re putting them in upscale apartments, with predictable results… Like shitting in the stairwells.

Huh. Fancy digs! Think I’ll just squeeze one out in the stairwell if’n you fellers would look askance fer a minute…
That’s why I always laugh when they talk about the “homeless problem”. As if (at least here) the main problem with the vast majority of these people is that they don’t have a home. I’ve seen firsthand exactly what happens when they get a place.
Square!
Never change, WaPo.
Did we not figure this out almost half a century ago?
“It would be, like, the smallest thing that they would call the police on,” Simkins said. She said the more established tenants “feel uneasy, but if they would just reach out and talk, they would see that (tenants with vouchers) are human beings, too.”
Yeah, we’re all human beings, and we’re all aware of how wretched that can be.
Human beings are awful creatures who do awful things, especially to other human beings.
That was different…
It’ll work this time…
Wrong people in charge…
Yes, but on top of that public housing faces the additional problem that public sector apparatchiks have been pocketing the billions of dollars that were supposed to go towards upkeep and repair. Yeah, surprising.
They failed because racism, not because logic, economics, and human nature.
It is a sad day that we will have to steal instructional videos from India to teach our folks not to Poo in the Loo.
Confirmation bias? Not for me. I am only surprised it took this long to find out that this is what they are doing while pretending to be above this shit…
Have you seen how their searches skew one way practically always when it comes to political topics? Google “AGW is a hoax” and let me know what comes back.
Link not working.

You couldn’t pay me enough to work in a toxic environment like that.
I could manage it if the rate were high enough that a short tenure left me with “Fuck You Money” afterwards and I wouldn’t have to deal with them again.
I second that. Date a lady that asked me why i was not working at one of those big tech companies considering my skillset. Told her I simply wanted nothing to do with the left leaning culture that permeated those places. Not to mention that I would need to live in some of the worst possible cities on the west coast to live in. At least the left leaning company I work for now sees me as indispensable, so I never have to worry that some woke fuck will give me shit.
It’s just like high school, except the vindictive losers are running the show.

I missed SP’s poll yesterday but I feel strongly about weather, so here it is.
I dry out quick and as I’m getting older I find I like the cold less and less, so really my ideal climate is warm, humid, and breezy. Honestly, although the humidity in central MD is no joke, especially close to the Bay, we really do have pretty decent weather. Spring and fall here are awesome, although we’ve been having really short springs the past few years. I like the summers, personally, but when the wind’s dead it can get pretty gross. It’s good margarita-on-the-patio weather, though. Winters are pretty mild, but they last about a month too long for my tastes anymore.
So, if there’s anywhere that doesn’t really ever get colder than, say, 40F in the winter but isn’t especially dry, I’ll take it. San Diego was pretty much heaven, but I guess that’s why it’s so damn expensive.
San Diego is a swamp as soon as you 5 miles inland, and 100 degrees
I’ve developed neuropathy in my hands and feet and I cannot stand the cold anymore. It frikkin hurts.
I foresee a retirement in Costa Rica.
I had an ex-brother in law that once tried to organize a trip there because he had seen an add for people looking for a sport-fucking vacation…
I think we all (4 other BILs) declined, which broke his heart. This the guy that took off in his truck looking at the smoke billowing out in his mirror, after he had accidentally dropped a candle that lit the curtains on flame after he was left alone in the room by the masseuse that needed a drink to, erm get herself in the mood to provide a happy ending…
Are you not bothered by humidity? Costa Rica is plenty warm, but mostly pretty humid as well.
Nope, no problems there. Besides which, the Guanacoste region is more like Southern California than jungle.
I did a couple weekends in Jaco.
I wonder if I’d recognize it now.
Did you feed the crocs?
I was surfing, so, thankfully not.
My ideal climate is Arizona winter – dry, sunny, and moderately cool.
Basically, I hate humid heat. Which has been kind of a problem since I’ve lived most of my life in the Southeast. I don’t really like tundra-like conditions – once it’s colder than, say, mid 20s, it’s too cold – but I can handle cold much better than humid heat. Alas, my better half is the exact opposite. She loves the heat and hates even mild cold temperatures.
I was in Savannah in late June a few years back and I think that was ideal for me. Although I do like the mountains. I could see east Tennessee or like western NC; seasons, but never really too cold or blazing hot.
So wait- Mitch McConnell (R, Tobacco-tucky) wants to raise the smoking age? This makes me wonder what’s behind the curtain.
Is this like the drinking age? Where the federal government has no authority to dictate a drinking age to the states, so they just made highway funds contingent on states complying with the 21-year rule?
Just like seat-belt, helmet, drinking age, etc…Washington can’t outright dictate it but can use legislative funding to “encourage” it.
Either do an amendment or GTFO
But the same thing against “sanctuary cities” is totally out of line and unconstitutional.
the Noor witnesses defending the Thin Blue Line make my blood boil.
I won’t hold it against anyone who wants to go home to his or her wife/husband and kids. Its what I want every day. But if that’s your top priority, you aren’t fit to be a cop.
If you are so worried about an ambush you can’t tell a hippy-dippy 40-something upperclass suburbanite woman from an ambush, you aren’t fit to be a cop.
You want to wear a special uniform, carry a gun in sensitive places us normies can’t, and engage in Command Presence without getting slapped in the face for being a dick? Fucking earn it. Hold yourself to a higher, not a lower, standard.
If I were the husband and the cop gets off scot-free, I might be inclined to exact some personal Justice.

Let’s even set that aside for a moment, because the issue occurs well before they walk into the “me or them” situation. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of lead, and many of these shootings are happening because the cops blunder into an escalation cycle, rather than trying to de-escalate the situation.
When the cop is injecting a dump truck load of nervous anxiety into the situation because they’re afraid of a statistically unlikely tragedy, they increase the likelihood of another statistically unlikely tragedy.
However, a ton of the cops out there are meatheads who want submission, so they can’t control their contribution to the escalation cycle. That, combined with the us v. them mentality of THIN BLUE LIEN means that it just takes one small mistake to set these neurotic Neanderthals off.
Yes. I know that there is a special circle of Hell reserved for the people that train the police to think this way. It is an absolute moral failing of the police officers (as well as a mathematical failing) to believe the training, but the trainers are uniquely horrible.
Like most of the American public, they honestly think ‘things today’ are far more dangerous than they really are. The fact that the country is far less violent than it was just a few years ago never makes the narrative.
A lot of people are watching this one. Capping an attractive, wealthy white chick was a big mistake.
You would think that “video of beloved lunch-room attendant’s blood splattered all over girlfriend’s baby he’s helping raise as if it was his own” would get the same attention, but I guess now.
Don’t worry, I’m sure this will get treated as “one bad apple” / “white people didn’t keep him out of jail because he’s not white too” by the two sides in our idiotic culture war. And nothing will change systematically.
Sad but probably true.

^This. What pisses me off most about situations like Noor is the double-standard. Police are highly-trained professionals who can openly carry firearms in public and exercise authority over us “civilians” because they’re uniquely capable of remaining cool under pressure–until there’s a barking dachsund or a homeless guy or a person holding a cellphone, at which point you can’t expect them to not panic-fire the whole magazine in a general direction, because they have a dangerous job and they just want to get home. Pick one, assholes. If you just want to go home, take the badge off and shut the fuck up about “sheepdogs”.
As Sheriff Bell says in No Country For Old Men, “I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job.”

Why not both? It’s rhetorically convenient.
They are the same when it is convenient for the women, and not the same otherwise. Get woke already!
It’s the Althouse principle — the only differences between women and men that will be reported are those that show women are better.
>>17 percent more likely to die in a car crash.
Woman Drivers! Ammirite?!
Screaming kids
Because most things and spaces — from pain medications to cars, and from air-conditioned offices to city streets — have been designed by men with men as the default user, they often don’t work well for women.
Fuck you, grifting asshole.
LOL bullshit
Also, maybe stop pushing the pretense that men are women and vice versa?
Every….fucking…..year WaPo trots out the same anti-air conditioning story, and it always leans heavily on two arguments – save Gaia bullshit, and whining by women that it’s too cold in their office because of white cis male shitlords.
Put on a sweater, toots, I can’t just stroll around the office in a pair of shorts because you consider anything below 80 degrees to be freezing.

“No, because I was thinking of my safety first,” he said. “At the time, yes, I was going to make sure I go home safely at the end of the night.”
Yes, because out of all the interactions between cops and humans on any given day, the cop’s life is in dire peril 97% of the time. What a bunch of pathetic delusional scaredy cats.
I went to return my books at the library drop box a few moons ago and in the underground parking garage there were about a dozen cops having a confab about very important things. Jesus, you’d have thought I was driving a Mad Max vehicle into their space. Their ears all perked up and you could tell they were ready for a “High Noon” show-down. Lucky for me I was driving a late model truck and just wanted to drop my books off so no blood was shed that day. Those fuckers have really taken an us against them attitude in the last twenty years and it’s getting worse.
