So, big demo coming up a week from today. I accidentally broke a template in M$’s crappy portals app and I have no idea how to undo it. I guess I’ll just show someone else’s site if I have to. I’ll just come in hot on Thursday and wing it.
We’re a CRISPR edit away from curing this sinister genetic defect.
Even the Marines can’t cure Florida Man.
Wild horses can’t be dragged away (from Dorian). And the rarely seen “square grouper” appears to be washing ashore in Florida due to Hurricane Dorian
Someone linked comments to the story of San Fran calling the NRA a terrorist organization wondering “where are all those good guys with guns” in Texas. Here’s one. Good on ya, ma’am. I think you need a higher capacity purse gun, but 50% hit rate ain’t bad with a snubby.

Rarely seen, or just rarely reported?
Report what?
*wipes nose*
If SF is calling the NRA a terrorist organization, I give it two weeks before a conservative city passes a resolution calling Planned Parenthood a terrorist organization. Then it can go from there.
Yo momma is a terrorist organization.
Nah. My momma’s cool.
My stepmomma, on the other hand… yeah.
Is she hot?
I’ve seen these stories on pornhub.
*waits for it
Do they involve bacon?
Calling is one thing. What happens if San Fran uses that label as an excuse to deny contracts, fire or demote employees, ‘red flag’ its residents . . .
That’s where it goes from “extremely stupid, but this is SF” to “the city’s going to be writing some big checks to pay off settlements for their blatantly unconstitutional actions”.
Ninth Circus
You can’t honestly believe that.
What’s wrong with it?
There’s very clear SCOTUS precedent here.
Are you sure about that, because New York did a similar thing with banking and insurance regulations and its still tied up in the courts. Even if they lose the end they still won.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/12/us/nra-new-york-lawsuit/index.html
Not to mention that operation choke point on the federal level is still untouched
Did our Republican House, Senate, and president do nothing except pass a tax cut?
Except if a conservative city counsel did that they’d face massive business boycotts and probably a court injunction. But, it’s cute how we’re still pretending like this isn’t a one sided affair
Conservative city?
I give it two weeks before a conservative city passes a resolution calling Planned Parenthood a terrorist organization.
They really ought to just tit-for-tat and label the SF city council a terrorist organization.
Two can play at that game, after all.
Impressive. If I didn’t live in a proggy university town (with city politics to match), I’d love to get that on the agenda. They’d probably pass the SF resolution instead.

“The stranger”
A streak of lefty-ism in her family is the only genetic failing my wife is willing to admit to. Two of my kids write lefty. All of them are pretty much ambidextrous when it comes to sports or shooting.
My sister’s brother was beaten as a kid until he learned to write right handed. I guess the Koreans still take that shit seriously.
Yes, but what about the chopsticks…
Germany was similarly enlightened until sometime in the middle of the last century. I suspect it was common everywhere.
“My sister’s brother”
You or your other brother?
My mom broke her wrist when I was but a wee one, and her parents, who took me in since she was also dealing with a brand new pregnancy, beat that left-handedness out of me cause it was “The Devil”. Now I have crappy handwriting no matter what hand I use to write with.
Only just read Subaru Horror Theater. Non-supernatural SF is more disturbing than regular SF.
fml
I write left-handed – and “identify” as a left-hander – but I’m fairly ambidextrous even at writing. Pretty much everything else one does with one hand, I do with my right hand, even using scissors. I’ve been married twice, and both my husbands have been left-handed. The current Mr. GT and I were in a musical trio together for quite a while, and both of the bass players who played with us over the years were left-handed, too. (When we put together a home-brewed CD, we made it “left-handed,” with the jewel box opening from the left side.)
I’m not sure if all this says something about me on a deeper level. I’m probably happier not thinking too much about it.
That’s very sinister.
#metoo
I mostly write right-handed today. But without much precision! Especially drawing – I can only draw with my left hand.
So you put the label inside the case upside down?
Printed everything ourselves, so we laid it out to be correct-side up (I almost said “right side up,” but realized my error in time.)
I’m missing it. If you take any jewel case cover, take it out, rotate it 180degrees, and slide it back in… isn’t that all there is to it?
Oh, I’m missing the joke
Terrance Dicks and Valerie Harper are both dead.
They announced it at the Lou Reed concert.
It’s amazing how he can do it night after night! Although I’ve heard he’s an asshole, so…
I think I’ve seen this somewhere before. I think you mean “Terrance Dicks and Valerie Harper are both still dead.”
Any news on Generalissimo Francisco Franco?
Spotted at the Lou Reed concert I hear.
I heard he shot himself in the balls and dope fell out of his ass.

He also ‘blames’ “conservative” people for the continuing taboo on cannibalism.
I blame Kuru for the taboo.
Just avoid the brain and you’ll be fine.
This cannibalism guy drives me crazy.
That was a fine pun, young ‘un.

Of course they do. Once you are off of the rails an inch is as good as a mile. In the same way there is no peak stupid, there is no peak crazy or peak immoral.

“SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!!!”
spoiler alert
Hiya Brett!
The young lady defending herself is a great story. This cracked me up:
“It was all I had in the gun,” she explained to KTRK. “I shot until I couldn’t shoot anymore.”
Five dudes, one gun, two bullets. I guess the best gun to carry is whatever you have, huh?
It was not optimal, but you can’t argue with her results.
I’ll bet she keeps it topped off from now on.
I’ll bet you are right. But it’s still funny to send to your friend who never leaves home without 3 mags.
“The young lady defending herself is a great story.”
Would. She’s cute.
It’s Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges
Also, start wearing FUBU gear again.
I don’t understand why conservatives are upset about this article. This sounds like a good idea. HBCU served a great purpose historically and it’s not as if non-HBCU are not already segregated (and not just by race).
This might actually be the smartest thing to ever come out of Hill’s mouth
As long as it’s voluntary. *shrugs*
Agreed. I would hope that no one is proposing to forcibly make black people attend certain schools. But, honestly, nowadays you never know what the tolerance brigade is going to demand
My mayor is proposing exactly that for the city’s public schools. I’m sure there is someone out there ready to take it national.
Oh, yeah, that’s true. But, let’s be honest, your mayor is a joke of a man. I would hope most normal people would shake their head at such stupidity
Read this and watch this and tell me that wealthy, white leftists have any of the compassion and kindness they whine and exclusively claim for poor, minority students.
You have to fight with the enemy on Twitter about something.
I have 3 neighbors who are black MDs. I would trust one of them with my life, and he went to an HBCU. The UCLA grads? Nope.
(disclosure: I distrust the white UCLA MD grad even more. His malpractice insurance has to be astronomical)
You’re just saying that because you went to Cal.
There are several HBCUs that provide an excellent education and produce first-class scholarship. Morehouse College is a primary example.
All the HBCU I know about are from reading Bill Cosby’s sweatshirts from the Cosby Show.
It might be different in the Bay Area. All of my neighbors around here are UCLA/USC
I’ve never seen a pattern: the man is infinitely more important than the school.
I have enough data to be suspicious of Texas Tech. Maybe I’ve been lucky with Michigan State.
Otherwise I find diamonds and warts are randomly distributed.
I’ve never seen a pattern: the man is infinitely more important than the school.
My experience has been the opposite. The folks from the top tier schools tend to be pretty dang good at their job. Those at the non-flagship state school are really hit or miss. Not saying you can’t find a diamond in the rough, but it’s not easy.
The joke is the “H” is there for a reason. There are several HBUCs in which the majority of the student body are not Black.
I’ve seen Drumline.
And their graduation rates are shit.
While I admit that graduation rates (depending on how you operationalize it) are a multivariate phenomenon, data from The Chronicle of Higher Ed. suggest that geographic region plays a role as well, which I find fascinating.
That is an interesting Website. Thank you.
Graduation rates are poor because they take on students that most other places won’t, who need lots of remediation. Most of them aren’t going to make it through, but at least they’re getting a chance.
After generations of open discrimination, the biggest problem (IMO) they face today is massive mismanagement and administrative bloat, even by university standards. All those black doctors and lawyers don’t open up their checkbooks because they know that their donations will be spent on presidential “recruiting trips” and swarms of deputy assistant assistants.
Any insights as to why open discrimination births massive mismanagement and administrative bloat?
Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that one causes the other. I intended to point out that in the past the biggest hurdle HBCUs have had to overcome was overt discrimination by the state in both funding and regulation (Look at the history of Florida A&M’s Law College for an especially clear-cut example). Most of the ones that did well, survived because they found a niche and stuck to it (e.g. teacher’s college or A&M). Today, even though they have some ground to make up, the main barrier is not state discrimination but rather their own maladministration, along with the habit of crying racism whenever anyone tries to hold those administrators accountable. Some are still well-run, but for every Morehouse there are a handful of Bethune-Cookmans, and I don’t think that history is to blame.
Written by the same Jemele HIll that went to Michigan State?
Yes. The school that just got fined a paltry 4.5 million smackeroonies for allowing twenty years of Larry Nasser molesting.
OMWC thrilled his main competition is out of the way.
College gals waaay too old for OMWC.
Last time I drove by, Prairie View A&M had billboards touting that their new cricket complex was going to be the largest in North America.
I’ve never seen cricketers in that part of Texas, but you’d occasionally see teams in their whites eating at Indian places in Austin.
So they’re pouring money into their entomology department?
Something about that idea bugs me.
But where will they get all the white wimmen?
Never gets old.
Racism. How does it work?
White College has never won an NCAA Championship in anything. They’re terrible at sports. Also, white.
I’m having a shit day at work as well, but in addition to the new job announcement I got my hockey schedule for the year. As promised, I’ll play some for both A and B teams First tournament is A team in Denver. I’ve been wanting to make that trip for years. *happy dance*
Sorry about the former, happy for the latter.
On Sept. 30 all the work issues will be someone else’s problem.
So when you play for the A-team is your strategy to hole up in a barn between the second and third periods? Then when the third period starts you come busting out in your modified black
vansled blazing away with guns (without ever hitting anything). And on your breakaway do the defenders suddenly veer off, hit a ramp and flip over and over?Yep. I love it when a plan comes together.
What’s with all these news sites that want you to pay to read an article without even giving a sample. How do I know if I want to subscribe if I can’t see the quality of your work? Also irt woke-mart
https://amp.businessinsider.com/being-woke-is-a-business-strategy-2018-12
Are they really following the money. Alienating half of your potential business doesn’t seem like a good business strategy. I’d think remaining neutral would be the best strategy.
That’s what I thought, but if most of the money is in a handful of blue cities, it’s less work to target those demographics. Not the way I would run a business, but I’m assuming the billion dollar companies have put in the research.
If it’s Business Insider I can save you some time: it’s always garbage.
I’m not a business person, but when I searched for why are businesses going woke, this was the only article I found. If you have a theory, I’m all ears.
Me neither. I just find their writing to be on the level of, say, CNN. I wouldn’t trust them on “business” any more than I would trust Scientific American on “science”.
Heres my theory: c-suites, HR, and marketing are increasingly becoming havens for true believers. It doesn’t feel like they’re phoning it in, they truly want wokeness to be a core company value.
I want to create a NewsPass aggregator that you buy an annual subscription to that allows you so many articles from a wide range of news sources.
I mean, the Denver Post wants me to subscribe and all I want to do is read one article. Guess what? I don’t live in Denver!
but 50% hit rate ain’t bad with a snubby.
That’s 50 percentage points better than the cops.
They make up for it in volume.
I never did that good with my snubby. Only 3 kids after thousands of rounds fired down range until I finally got the snubby modified to only shoot blanks.
Hats off to that gal.
Just some hip alphas, smoking sticks and triggering the libs
I practiced with a Ruger LCR this past weekend. It’s definitely an upclose gun. The nose kick is significant. I had to aim a foot low at twenty feet.
Get the 357 load it w 38+p. It helps.
It’s a palm stinger with 38+p as well. I’ll still hit center of mass unloading it from 5 yards.
You better believe it. I put 10 rds with 357magnum once, once.
The 38+p didn’t bother my hand too much, but I’m much more accurate with my M&P Shield 9mm.
I ziptied the LCR to a 3/4″ pipe and then bolted the pipe to a large block so I could sight the laser grips in. Even with that, the nose kick still put me off a foot or more at 35 ft.
You are not holding the gun correctly.
Probably not.
I’ll take some recommendations. I’ve never been this inaccurate with a handgun except with a little piece of shit Star 380 ACP I have. That thing is horrible, I need to sell it off.
Norwegian Grip?
Where you hold the gun backwards and pull the trigger with your thumb. It may sound strange, but I gay-ron-tee that after one shot, you will never go back to your old ways.
Well, no, because by then youve shot yourself in the face.
have you dry-fired it and convinced yourself that you’re on target after the whole DAO squeeze?
That’s an obvious idea, particularly with the laser grip. Guess I will now.
Miculak, or whatever his name is has advice for dealing with snubbies. In particular do not hold your left thumb forward, wrap that thing over yer other thumb. It’s OK with out the exterior hammer on the lcr.
“sinister genetic defect” I see what you did there.
Oh, good catch.
Also applies to the progressives 😉
Not just sinister, but also gauche.
Great news fellow leering perverts: Today I was informed that clothing inspired by the 90s film “Clueless” are back in style. Everything is good again.
This should take care of that boner.
Sarah Gilbert is a relic of the 90’s that I choose to forget
At first I thought it was a teenage boy…
Yeah, well, we all get older until we don’t.
Silverstone isn’t bad for 42, but looks like every other soccer mom out there. Granted the photo isn’t flattering – she’s squinting in the sunlight.
I’d hit it
fully 50% of the soccer moms around here look better than that.
That’s the great thing about not setting your standards all that high. The Doable/Willing Venn diagram looks much better.
Excuse me – Liv Tyler is still whimsical!
And do not make me start posting Claire Danes and Keri Russell photos, because I will. I WILL!
Keri Russell always looks incredible, I don’t think she’s human
Her bald phase Felicity killed it for me. Then her psychopath Russian sleeper agent character killed what ever remained.
Keri Russell is the bomb.
Yeah Silverstone looks fine for a 42 year old mom out in the hot sun on a hike.
Gilbert looks like someone left Howard Stern in the dryer too long .
[golf clap] for Gilbert description.
Wow. I wasn’t paying attention. I thought that was AS’s aunt or something.
I remember girls dressing somewhat like this when I was in school. I think the goal was to raid their dad’s closets for the largest button-down shirt in existence, wear it all buttoned up with a brooch, some stupid hat, and dumb shoes.
You went to school with Blossom Russo and Six Dorothy Lemeure?
Dorian should be visiting here in the next 16-20 hours. Got the boat/home tied up (16 lines from 50-100ft 5/8ths twisted nylon.) Now the only question is, drink more beer eat more mushrooms or cook more chicken?
Yes to all.
Good luck, brother. Y’all are fucking brave!
It’s not brave, it’s just home.
Be careful, and say hi to Winston’s Mom for me, Tulpa,
You got her number?
Wait… What kind of mushrooms?
Free. I didn’t ask.
Welcome aboard, Tulpa. Good luck.
We’re all counting on you.
Eat all the mushrooms and tie yourself to the dock to enjoy the storm?
I kind of did that once; it didn’t end well.
Pics?
Fic. It’s what I do.
Where are you tied up?
My buddy just moved from DC to an island near Charleston. Daniel Island, iirc (it appears to not actually be an island).
They got lucky. The surge came at low tide. Now that the tide is coming up, the eye has passed, and the wind is blowing out to sea.
Ocracoke, got a buddy on a boat in charleston.
Just grab some dune grass and hold on, you’ll be fine.
I hope you’re considering a trip inland just in case.
Too late. Last ferry left 24 hrs ago.
Ah, I think it’s in NO.
If you’re on a boat why do you need a ferry? And why does god need a starship?!
Best movie script ever.
You don’t wanna show up w a boat somewhere on the coast when a storm is coming. It’s considered impolite or just not cricket.
My mom’s in Havelock. Best of luck to you.
The mainland is gonna take a beating.
About to get our first outer band. Get a feel for what this storms all about.
Batten down them hatches!
Hatches battened, sir.
That actually means something?
I thought it was just foreplay!
Dude (assumes gender), I did the boat tie off thing when I lived in LA. Never got to join the Cajun Navy though. That’s a good thing. I hope you don’t need to use the boat.
Dude, you can hear the beach roaring.
There goes the power. Long dark night.
American Airlines Chooses Dog Over Allergic Black Man
The NAP is hard sometimes.
First come, first served, First class, service dog can fuck right off!
But they are completely fucked because of the ADA. Sorry, black guy, you just got moved to the back of the bus by a fake disabled person.
Air carrier access act, which is laxer than ADA
Does that have the same boutique tort business model?
Dunno.
Fuck HW. Spending millions to rip up perfectly good curbs and making them more dangerous to pedestrians.
I would suggest that if you’re so fucked in the head that you can’t fly without a dog, you shouldn’t be on a plane. Or in public at all.
Amen.
So two points of anti-discrimination law are in conflict with one another and the airline is screwed either way.
If there was a seat at the back of the plane that he could move to, why couldn’t she move to that seat?
For that matter, why not arrange for him (or her) to swap seats with someone else on the plane? Methinks we’re not hearing the whole story.
That he doesn’t have dog allergies and just didn’t want to sit next to a yippy dog all flight, so created his condition on the spot, would be my guess.
I’m glad this person addressed a central question of this narrative with such grace and coherence.
Certainly nothing racist about that.
AA are assholes. Woman is an asshole. Author of the article is an asshole.
Just to clarify. AA = American Airlines, or AA = African American?
Quiter Alcoholics.
Or maybe Suthen doesn’t like paratroopers.
Did he tell the airline about his condition when he bought the ticket? If not tough shit about his “allergies”, people take dogs on planes, people smell bad, people talk to you whether you like it or not.
How come is it to see a dog on a plane? I’ve never actually been on a flight where a dog was in the cabin.
I’ll bet 7 out of the last 10 flights I’ve been on had at least one. One of them, I sat next to a young soldier with a gorgeous Malinois. The dog was a no-shit, well trained assistance dog and we had a very pleasant flight.
Hell, when we bought our dog in NC, we flew back with him in the cabin. I’ve never gotten better service on a flight in my life. The stews wouldn’t leave!
I personally don’t care if people have them as long as the dog is well behaved and quiet.
Sounds like you take more pleasant flights than me.
The last time I flew someone must have had some kind of intestinal issue, because the whole flight the smell of ass would come over the cabin every ten minutes or so.
I personally don’t care if people have them as long as the dog is well behaved and quiet.
And small enough not to encroach on other people’s space, it should be added.
No idea, I’ve flown twice in the last 15 years. Nonetheless, I am aware that people sometimes take dogs on planes, so if I had a condition that would make that an issue I would make sure the airline could accommodate me before buying a ticket.
Yeah, I don’t believe that. You’re not booking a flight and saying “also, I’m allergic to dogs”. No sane person would be doing that, unless they travel frequently and know that that’s the new fad
It does raise the idea that airlines might want to put some thought into better planning here. I’m not allergic to dogs or horses but I don’t want one on my flight, either. If I book a flight first and say I don’t want dogs, dog-lady can find another flight. And vice versa.
Dogs are all well and good. It’s the people on the flight I find annoying.
I had enough of a headache as it is, but to scroll down and see the dearth of RTFAing just increased it tenfold.
Fuck you.
HA!
I flew next to an “emotional support” dog once. In first class, on American. I boarded when most of the cabin was already full. A passenger asked me to swap seats because she wanted to sit next to her husband. Changing seats is common in domestic first since passengers are upgraded at the last moment. Anyway, the woman seemed a bit too much relieved that I agreed to swap out seats–and then I noticed there was a dog under a blanket next to my new neighbor.
The dog was well behaved, never barked, its owner stayed in his window throughout the entire flight. From the long conversations that the owner had with a FA and another passenger, it became clear that he was just commuting between two homes with his pet.
Sweet flex.
Grrizly is Points Guy.
Prove me wrong.

CNN’s 7-Hour Climate Change Town Hall Loses In Ratings To ‘Baby Shark’ Being Played 185 Times In A Row
CNN knew they were taking a risk devoting seven hours to Democratic presidential candidates talking about climate change, but the news channel thought that this issue — getting a Democrat elected — was important enough for the unusual programming decision. However, the special lost hugely in ratings to Nickelodeon, which also made an unusual decision to play the song “Baby Shark” 185 times in a row.
“It was just stupid, repetitive nonsense for hours and hours,” said Shannon Terry, a concerned citizen who found herself watching TV that evening. “So eventually I just turned off the CNN townhall and listened to ‘Baby Shark’ over and over again. That song is catchy.”
Many others seemed to agree with Terry, as the airing of presidential candidates making climate change-related campaign speeches was not considered by viewers to be as entertaining or informative as the singing of various phrases like “baby shark,” “mommy shark,” and “grandpa shark” over and over again.
CNN did see a brief ratings spike when Pete Buttigieg started singing, “Climate change, doo doo doo doo doo doo!” getting CNN to its highest point of the night — seven viewers — though when Buttigieg started talking about carbon credits, the number of viewers plummeted back down to three.
Brilliant. That’s our Bee.

Now lets apply that same line of reasoning to the demands to build a wall.

National Geographic. I’ll go digging for a link in a bit.
I distinctly remember getting checked for a drug inspection while headed south to Puerto Rico back in 92.
Well, you must look like a drug dealer.
The guy behind me in Nassau (US Customs has a station there) got popped for cocaine. I felt bad for him. That’s federal prison time unless they fucked up the search somehow.
I was on a sailboat crossing the PR Trench when they performed a low altitude/low speed fly-by with what was probably an F18 Hornet standing on its tail end. It was about 11pm and it scared the ever-living shit out of me. I fell out of my bunk thinking the world was ending.
Bolivia.
If transport boats think they might get boarded they dump. Cost of business. A lot gets dumped.
Sometimes they dump the drugs from an airplane and a boat from the mainland picks it up and brings it in. At least that’s the story one diver told me. He and a friend saw the air drop and then got the hell out of there as they figured whoever was picking it up would not want any witnesses.
Isn’t there a documentary on this. In which the feds set up some guy looking for a hidden stash of cocaine?
I think the runners sink the coke at some international water location offshore. The CG watches every boat on radar and satellite so if they don’t meet another boat it just looks like a fishing trip. A couple of weeks later a boat from FL, also looking like a boat on a fishing trip, just happens to cross the location the runners were at before. It would be hard for the coast guard to put that together. A boat from The Bahamas and a boat from FL meeting and dawdling around for 30 minutes in international waters would be more than a little suspicious looking.
Hurricane comes along and dislodges the coke shipment…it washes up on shore. Probably an easy write-off for the coke smugglers. I doubt they are sweating it.
Write-off? On their taxes?

On the recommendation of several of you, we went to Frank Pepe’s for lunch. Really good. I had the white clam pizza, and the wife, being allergic to shellfish, had the Margherita. Both God.

CT drivers are terrible (excluding Alex, I’m sure).
Tonight, first lobster roll!
Tomorrow Mystic Seaport Museum, then on to Hyannis. Watching the hurricane reports.
You went to one of the best pizza joints in the world, only to order the worst pizza on the menu? Bold strategy.
I was told by our Airbnb host that our was the thing to get there. But I did like the wife’s pie better.

Not a clam.
Heh.

A Utah couple who were in attendance at a Major League Soccer Real Salt Lake game says they were told by stadium officials to put away their Betsy Ross flag because the original flag of the American Revolution is a “symbol for hate groups.”
According to Randolf and Diana Scott, the league now claims that the flag, one of America’s earliest national banners, has been adopted by “hate groups,” according to Fox News.
The pair turned up recently at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, outfitted in their favorite jerseys and team colors and waving their Betsy Ross Flag.
“Diana bought it for me actually, because my other flag was kind of old and falling apart,” Randolf told Fox.
But the couple says that stadium personnel soon approached them and demanded that they hide their early version of the Stars and Stripes.
“They kept telling us if he wasn’t going to take it down, we were going to be ejected from the game,” Diana exclaimed.
“He asked me — he’s like, ‘So what’s the purpose of the flag?’” Randolf said of the stadium official. “I was like, ‘Well, ’cause we love America.’”
The league admitted to Fox that any “controversial” banner is banned from stadiums.
If we can just get Richard Spencer/Jordan Pederson/Ben Shapiro to wear a Tom Brady jersey everywhere he goes, will Brady have to change his number?
I hope they are embarrassed for being exposed as people who would pay money to watch soccer.

“Euro kicky ball” for the win.
You left out “fag,” but I’m not sure whether that reads better as “eurofag kicky ball” or “euro kicky fagball.”

‘Moneyland’ Author Oliver Bullough Tells Us How The World’s Richest People Hide Money And Subvert Democracy
Moneyland > Libertopia imo
“I went there hoping it would become a sort of democratic part of the western world, and it didn’t. Instead it became a place ruled by a series of corrupt dictators or semi-dictators.”
I don’t get it. How did it not become a democratic part of the western world then?
“You have your own passports, your own legal process, your own education system. You get to essentially choose what rules you follow. “.
Sorry dude, already done. Its called Washington DC.
Diplomatic/Military passports. Special license tags identifying you as a member of the power elite (“Virginia Board of Cosmetology 1”), Waldorf School.
$100 says he’s a Hilary Clinton vote.
I think a better explanation would be that the fall of the former USSR created a gap that allowed some of the party elite to slip in and establish a dictatorship.
Western efforts to take advantage of the USSR’s collapse by encircling Russia made people more palatable to a strong man.
If you go to former Soviet countries in Eastern Europe they fault the West for not forcing a purge of former communists like they did with Nazis and fascists in Germany and Italy after World War II
Why is it our fault we didn’t have a couple million troops running the place? And even then the purge was mostly higher level guys. The average bureaucrat who happened to be a Nazi was left mostly alone.
There is a book called “The Demon in Democracy” which was written by a Polish intellectual and member of parliament (he was banned from speaking at some small liberal arts college in the states recently, because he is thoroughly not woke).
His book argues, in part, that it was Western leaders that prevented the new government of Poland from purging and arresting former communists in the country, because they wanted better relations with the Russians.
I’m not saying it’s our fault, I’m just saying that that’s what some people in eastern Europe say. But, their criticisms are less directed at the Americans and more so at the other Western European countries
They blame us? It’s their country. They are there. They have their own pitchforks. Get busy, Cupcake.
Everyone in the world that fucks up their own country blames us. Fuck them. This is the kind of shit that makes me smile when Trump gets 6B to build the wall. They need to learn to put their own pants on.
Multiple studies estimate the number of serious crimes prevented by armed citizens every year number around one million. That is a big loss to a political philosophy that uses high crime and fear to keep citizens beaten down and cowed. Of course the left is desperate to disarm the population. Where is the fun in mob violence, another of their favorite cudgels, when you are likely to be shot by someone who doesn’t want to be robbed, beaten, have their store looted or house burned down?

https://www.wsj.com/articles/authorities-suspect-man-of-making-and-selling-gun-used-in-texas-shooting-11567639127
Law-enforcement officials said they have identified a person of interest they suspect of illegally manufacturing and selling the rifle used in Saturday’s mass shooting in West Texas.
so much for the narrative that supported universal background checks. seller broke the law if he manufactured and then sold a gun without a federal license. motivated killers will find ways to get guns.
Gun control will expand the black market, not. Interact it. Guns are not some advanced technology.
The police and FBI own that one. Totally preventable under current law, just like the Texas church shooting.
Well, maybe. You can sell a gun you made, provided you’re not “in the business” of making and selling firearms.
This guy could easily have made the gun (80% lower is my guess) and then sold it to free up capital for another project without being in the business of manufacturing guns by any reasonable definition.
Wokegreens joins the list of stores that don’t want me as a customer.
Walgreens posted a short statement on the issue, which says, “We are joining other retailers in asking our customers to no longer openly carry firearms into our stores other than authorized law enforcement officials.”
The announcement comes two days after Kroger and Walmart both banned open carry in their stores.
Yea, better for your patrons to be sitting ducks than have peaceful people carrying firearms while they shop.
I’ve probably been to Walmart twice in two years. Box fans and sunglasses. Can buy both elsewhere.
i sold out and bought a new Pelican case from Woke*mart after they marked it down for their short-barrel selloff. i feel dirty but it had to be done. my local shop does not carry that case.
You can order online.
The main reason I don’t go to the local Walmart is that it’s in a location that’s difficult to get to from where I’d normally be coming from. Our shopping strip was built in fits and starts, so the connecting roads are a mess.
You can still carry you just have to be responsible enough to get a CC permit/waiver/license? or ballsy enough to tuck a gat in to your waistband whether the mans likes it or not.
Or live in Kansas where no permit is required.
Or Missouri.
I noticed that too, which makes these statements strange. They’re not stopping people from conceal and carry. They just don’t want people to open carry. Which seems like their real concern is about people who are frightened by the sight of guns, which doesn’t make much sense for stores like Kroger and Walmart which are primarily in rural areas where people are less frightened by the sight of a gun.
Kroger and Walmart which are primarily in rural areas
Huh? Either we use different definitions of ‘rural’ or you’re nuts.
Where I’m at you can find maybe two WalMarts in the City and a bunch more in the suburbs, but the bulk of them are in rural areas. Same goes for Kroger, but they’re probably more lopsided toward rural areas.
Either way, you can’t dispute that most of their presence is outside of large metros.
Okay so the definition thing, ‘outside of large metros’ does not equal ‘rural’ in my mind. Rural in my mind means farms, or where the homes have septic systems and well water, there may be some clusters of homes at some intersections but people largely live far enough from their neighbors that taking a piss off the front porch isn’t an issue, except maybe with the wife.
OK, yeah, we’re using two different definitions
The rural store chain is Dollar General.
If I were to take a meandering way home from work, I could pass 4 different DGs in the 15 mile distance.
Only one of those is in a proper town.
Geez, we live in different worlds.
There are Dollar General stores all over where I live.
The true epitome of a rural place, in my opinion, is Casey’s General Store or Farm and Fleet
Never heard of those.
We have Tractor Supply Co. up here.
Right. It’s Pamida that has the rural market locked up
Walmart is everywhere, no City escapes, The rural thing is a joke, and bad information,
There are two in my city of 3 million. And they are all in poor communities and were only allowed in, because they were the only grocery store willing to open there.
Correction, there are three in the city proper. The third one just opened in a rich part of the city, but it’s one of those small boutique Walmarts that they are trying out
Could be that idiot who wanted to open carry a rifle while wearing body armor and videoing himself precipitated this shit.

But she was, actually, able to do more than just scream. Hudgins reached inside her purse and grabbed her handgun before the suspects could. She fired off the only two rounds in the firearm, striking one of the perpetrators. “It was all I had in the gun,” she explained to KTRK. “I shot until I couldn’t shoot anymore.”
Sounds like it holds more, but only had two in it.

What is just as weird is people who understand it about the 1% but don’t about tariffs.
That too. But, I suspect they know about it with tariffs too, but you got to support the team.
No growth Europe, that one

China says it found something bizarre and unexpected on the moon
“Chinese media is claiming that while investigating the far side of the moon, the country’s Yutu-2 lunar rover stumbled upon a unique “gel-like” substance of unknown origin sitting inside a small crater.”
So the moon is an alien outhouse?
Does it have proportional dimensions of 1 by 4 by 9?
With neaderthals sitting around?
You people here think so monolithically.
SPACE SMITH SHOW YOU UNIQUE GEL-LIKE SUBSTANCE!
So the moon is an alien outhouse?
Or an American one? Did the astronauts jettison their trash into space while circling the moon or carry it home?
I’m going to bet it isn’t “gel” like at all. It’s a tektite from an impact.
Police interviewed the woman, who said that Hill “wanted her to get involved” in a threesome with himself and the dog, according to the affidavit. The woman refused.

Apropos of nothing- I was out running some errands earlier, and saw TR6 parked in front of some store. It was probably a ’75 or 6, judging by the bumpers. Looked pretty straight. Definitely not an original unrestored car.

He immediately turned one of them in to the authorities – and sold the other. No idea if it’s true, but he did suddenly have a brand new expensive pickup truck not long after.

Two groups:

*I can only recall a single instance (in 15 years) of seeing somebody openly carrying a pistol in the grocery store I frequent. He, judging by his appearance, was probably a cop. Is this something which really needs to be addressed at the corporate level?
I am in favor of Constitutional carry not because I feel any need to lug a gun around with me, but for the benefit of people who would not have to engage in a lot of fucking around when they stop to grab a jug of milk and a loaf of bread. Or, as has happened in my case, coming home from the range, through town.
My hypothetical example- In Montana, a permit to carry a concealed weapon is only required in cities and towns and a couple of other places, like logging or mining camps (a relic of bygone days, presumably). In the back county, you may carry your weapon as you wish. If you are fishing up the Boulder River drainage, in bear country, it’s pretty common practice to take a gun. Let’s say you’re out there all day, with your gun under your fishing vest. Nothing happens except you catch a few trout. When you head for home, you go through Big Timber. If you’re still rigged up, and you say, “I’d better stop for gas, and grab a snack”, you’re going to be breaking the law. 99% of the time, it won’t matter, and nobody will care. But if the Sweetgrass County sheriff pulls up and decides to ask to see your permit, and you don’t have one, suddenly you have a problem.
Constitutional carry, FTW. Now, the sheriff could still conceivably want to check and see if you are a bad person, because it only covers people who are legally qualified. If you are a felon, et c, you’re still in deep shit.
In a just world, he wouldn’t check squat because a lawful activity isn’t probable cause or even reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.

I saw something completely unprecedented in Balmore today, downtown no less. I walked past a black guy on the sidewalk wearing a Trump shirt. I tried not to stare, but it was sort of like I just saw a troop of penguins walking down the street led by a polar bear. Then a couple of minutes later, a car drove by me with a Trump sign in the back window, only one I’ve ever seen in the city. Seriously, the end times are upon us.
You saw a Republican in Baltimore? Did you take a lot of acid back in the hippy days?
It only affects me when I’m alone. If I’m with somebody, I never see unusual stuff and no one will believe me. If I’m alone, I see the must unusual stuff ever. /could have been all the acid
This is the kind of experience that gave birth to the phrase “The things you see when you don’t have a gun!” comes from.
My wife and I used to frequent an Asian market near us all of the time. All of the times I’ve been there with her, many, many times, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened. The first time I was down there without her, the guy at the liquor store side was wearing this shirt ‘Got Weed?’ and he was quite obviously fucked out of his mind, on whatever. A guy walks in and asks for the price on a case of Corona, dude tells him and they guy says calmly ‘Oh, they have it across the street for less’. The dude freaked the fuck out and starts screaming at the customer, who just walks out, the crazy Korean dude chases him out of the building screaming at him ‘I can’t buy it for that! I’ll take a whole fucking truckload! Give me a whole fucking truckload!’ followed by unintelligible screaming in Korean or something. I just sort of sipped out of the building and went somewhere else to get my beer.
Next time I was in that market, without my wife, I saw one of the cashiers chase one of the guys bagging groceries around the store beating him over the head with a broom and him yelling ‘get away from me you crazy bitch!’.
Seriously, I could go on all night with crazy shit like this I only ever see when I’m alone.
But is Trump a Republican?
I know several black guys who like Trump. He’s got style and balls and hot women. Are any if the Dems going to get their vote? Prissy bossy old women or obnoxious gay guys.

I love that the brits will cavalierly throw about “cunt”, but to call a woman a ‘cow’ cuts to the bone.
Yeah, “cunt” is definitely one of those “top shelf” words where I live, only to be taken down and used in anger for the direst of emergencies, but the way some teenagers use it, it could seriously replace “fuck” as their all-purpose noun and pointless substitute for “uhhhhhh” pretty soon.

“If only we explained libertarianism better, we’d have fewer libertarians.”
Meh, the problem with libertarians is that getting an actual political party out of them is like herding cats. Drunk cats all hopped up on catnip at that. To get a political party, you have to have a package deal like cable TV and embrace the 200 things you hate to get the 3 things you actually want. Not happening, I gave up on that delusion years ago. Now, I’m just happy to disagree with everyone else I sort of agree with.
I expect the only way a libertarianish candidate gets elected is if he’s giving his inauguration speech over the rubble like at the end of Mars Attacks.
Yeah, something like that.

I guess the CNN Climate Town Hall, so sad I missed it, was a real treat. I have to ask this question. I’ve seen several polls in the last few years, none of which show climate change as a top 5-10 issue for Americans for more than a small fraction of those being polled. I think 8% listing it as a top 10 most important issue was the best result I’ve seen for the climate alarmists. WTF exactly are they doing? They’ve seemingly went all in for an issue that not much of anyone even cares about. Do they even want to win?
I saw one small video segment in which Beta was talking his best climate change hysterics and the young lady in the audience asking the question had on a t-shirt ‘No More Fossil Fuels’? Really?, because I can ensure this young very confused lady that if that would magically come true, her continued existence on this planet would be short and brutal. There’s no other possible outcome for the 6-7 billion of us who would starve to death or die of the elements or the violent struggle that would ensue for mere subsistence over the next few months/years. Beta might last a little longer, buy you, young lady, you goan die, bitch, and it won’t be fun.

Reason number 1,345,679,230 why you should stay far, far away from social media.
It’s kind of difficult if you are trying to promote anything these days.
There has to be a breaking point. Once they’ve banned or gotten rid of everyone they disagree with on social media, the inmates running the asylum will turn on each other like blood thirsty animals. It’s already started to happen. If something cannot go on forever, it won’t.
Some of these responses, though. If five men approach your vehicle and try to rob you, don’t just do something, sit there. Getting mugged isn’t worth shooting someone over. You’re just supposed to intuit that they won’t rape you or beat the shit out of you. And if you’re wrong, well, at least nobody got shot.
Oh, and a policy of consequence-free muggings and robberies by dint of no allowable self-defense won’t in any way encourage more muggings and robberies, or worse. No sir, second-order effects are a myth perpetuated by right-wing reactionaries.
These retards are a few breaths away from asserting that she deserved to be mugged (or worse) for putting herself in that position. It’s like a wild animal attack, you can’t blame the muggers for mugging, you can only blame yourself for getting mugged.
It’s what I’ve been saying for a long time. The reason crime is so low in the USA compared to places like Brazil, where there is the most strict gun control, is not even that people here own guns, but that criminals have a fear people could have guns and they might get shot dead. Take away people’s rights to own guns and you will see skyrocketing crime rates, robberies in broad daylight in the streets, home invasions, and business robberies will be common. Just like in Brazil, where no one but criminals have guns.
… where no one but criminals have guns.
But the police have guns — oh, wait …
