Fuck, it’s December already? Well, at least it’s Sunday and while all the goyim are scurrying around, I can relax and watch the Niners and Ravens. Maybe. Depends on the VPN we’re using.

That was creepy. What’s with the dems this year?
They think Trump is vulnerable so every freak in the party is running. Add in that 2016 was a coronation that resulted in Sanders getting an outsized share of the primaries and now the commie wing thinks this is their moment.
That’s the only thing that would make the debates interesting.

“It’s so cute when clueless dorks discover the internet.”
Funny to find out that “Boogaloo” is now only used by the alt-right. I had missed that completely.
Also funny to read that red flag laws are “laws allowing the temporary seizing of firearms from individuals deemed to present a danger to themselves or others” – I guess you could say it is temporary seizure if the PTB only hold them briefly before destroying them. Does anybody have any expectation that once a person has been “red flagged” that they will ever possess those guns again?
They will find a few “success stories” and ignore all the ones where the gun owner died.
“Look, did you want us to make this omelet or what?”
I do like omelettes
It is so wildly unconstitutional and transparently and end-run around due process I have a hard time believing it will stand.
I am starting to believe they understand that so they will be trying to bring it up in different forms on the local level. That will make it much harder to strike down than it would have been had it been a single. federally implemented system.
No because once you are red flagged, you will fail a NICS check. So it’s a self-licking ice cream cone for gun grabbers.
Yup. Regardless of how perfectly spotless your record had been previously, once you are Red Flagged you will have the same right to possess a firearm as Charles Manson would have had on parole.
^this^
It will be exactly like a ‘no fly’ list. No one will ever even be able to know how they got red flagged and there will be no way for the person to contact anyone who will know how they can get off and there will be no legal recourse for them to even challenge it. It’s the way these legal run around stunts work. And the people who want to put it in place, already know all of this.
At first it will be just a few sample people. And no one will care about those people, they must be crazy or something, or else this would actually happen to people you know. And then before you know it, we will have millions of people red-flagged and it will be too late to get rid of it by then. And all it will take will be a call from someone who doesn’t like you or thinks you’re a crazy redneck and then you’re red flagged for life.
Looks like that trend is where society is going in general. Because of advances in tech and info processing, people will be divided into those in good standing with the government and those outside. As they try to squeeze more and more money out of the people to cover underfunded spending, the cycle will speed up.

No shit, Boris. – I think one of my friends on the scene had an audible scream in one of the videos of the stabbing.
Not possible. It happened during daylight hours.
The Democrats surely are a clown show. So focussed on impeachment when there is exactly 0% chance of conviction,while the slate of losers on offer as potential presidential candidates have a similar chance of winning an election. You know, the regular way to remove a President from office.
It’s like they simply believe that they are going to win regardless of which candidate they choose. They don’t know anybody who would vote for Trump so they’ve got it in the bag. They way it’s going I wonder if they will be able to bring in the numbers needed to even stand a chance. And some of the people they have running would actually scare more people to vote for Trump than a Biden or some other middle of the road (D) would.
The bigger question is can they fake enough votes.
Well, they can in all the sanctuary states and cities. But it’s no like they we’re going to lose in those places anyway.
Not true!!! They passed line 400 bills but Mitch McConnell won’t do anything.
“You know, the regular way to remove a President from office.”
Yeah, but we don’t have time for that! What about our national nightmare? Millions dying from no healthcare, little kids being locked up in cages, and run away climate change killing all of us right now! We don’t have time for that! IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH!

And you know, no one has ever made a claim like that before. I mean like saying Trump will resign any minute now. So this time, walls closing in, surrounded, they got em.

Now one can buy boogaloo-related clothing and accessories from a variety of online marketplaces, including Amazon. Items include patches, pins and apparel (such as “Big Igloo” t-shirts).
The ADL is doing infomercials now?
From militia groups to white supremacists, extremists on a range of online platforms talk about—and sometimes even anticipate—the “boogaloo.” The rise of “boogaloo,” and its casual acceptance of future mass violence, is disturbing. Among some extremists, it may even signify an increased willingness to engage in violence.
That’s some good analyzing, Lou.
*makes okay sign*
The autists at 4chan love screwing with the ADL,
“The rise of “boogaloo,” and its casual acceptance of future mass violence, is disturbing. ”

Six more countries join Trump-busting Iran barter group
https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/01/six-more-countries-join-trump-busting-iran-barter-group
Paris, London and Berlin on Saturday welcomed six new European countries to the Instex barter mechanism, which is designed to circumvent US sanctions against trade with Iran by avoiding use of the dollar.
“Washington in 2018 unilaterally withdrew from the international agreement governing Iran’s nuclear programme and reinstated heavy sanctions against Tehran.”
Counties need to stop thinking they have any binding agreement with the US if it’s not ratified by the senate.
Countries, too (Before Ted’S gets here)
It’s the Guardian so I have no idea if that means anything or not. Assuming it is true….idiots. A strong Iran is a direct threat to them. They would just be feeding an alligator. But…Guardian, so probably bullshit.
Is Iran really a threat to them though?
depends who them are
I didn’t say (((them)))
Since parentheses and square brackets are spoken for, can I claim the ” {{ }}” style brackets (for lack of a better term) for chicks? After all, these brackets have nipples.
Isn’t that who we are referring to by default though?
:Ducks:
Let’s make it official! Like the spelling of “cunte”! By the authority vested in me by me, I hereby declare that the “{{ }}” brackets are for references to chicks. In most cases, two on each side are appropriate. Three or more on a side refer to chicks from other planets who have more than two titties.
{{{Chicks}}} no longer get exclusive brackets. See Rachel Mckinnon.
Wait, you have two tits on each side?
Dayum!
Pfft, like you like tits.
Ackshually, as an example, “{{them}}” is, of course, two or more chicks. Think two chicks back-to-back…
Come to think of it, perhaps you’d prefer “}}them{{.”
I figured it’s for referencing Hitchcock.
Yes, it is. Very much so.
How?
I dunno. How far can a nuclear weapon reach?
I don’t buy the “Iran is a death cult and wants to die” line. Terrible government, but they do have a sense of self preservation.
I don’t think I do either. I really would rather they don’t have nukes, though. Not that there is likely anything anyone can do to stop it at this point.
Right? The amount of meddling necessary to stop them from getting nukes eventually would have to involve heavy military action.
Our great European allies. The greatest.

“I want to reassure Londoners and visitors that there will be enhanced police patrols, including firearms teams, on the streets of London this weekend,” he added. “I will be attending the government’s emergency COBRA meeting tonight.”

Fresh snow + high winds = ground blizzard conditions and heavy drifts.
It’s supposed to warm up for a few days, so I got that going for me.
Cold day tomorrow and then back to seasonal. Warm up in April. The wind died early in the evening so the snow is hanging in the pine trees. No place I’d rather be snowbound than here though, I’m guessing its the same wherever you live.

That pesky Supreme Court
Still, the justices agreed to hear the matter and asked the parties to be prepared to argue mootness. That is, whether the claim is even still ripe for consideration in view of the subsequent legislative fixes.
If they decide it is, and they opine on the substance of the case, it’ll be the most consequential gun rights matter in a decade, since the 2010 case McDonald v. City of Chicago, according to George Washington University law professor Robert Cottrol, speaking at a Federalist Society event in October. In McDonald the justices ruled that an individual’s Second Amendment rights are incorporated and applied to states via the Due Process clauses. It limited localities’ ability to restrict guns, which is why many states and cities have signed amicus briefs pleading with the justices not to decide the substantive questions presented here.
New York City and those localities don’t want the justices to consider the constitutional claim and say there’s nothing left to decide. The Constitution’s Case or Controversy Clause forbids the justices from issuing advisory opinions—there must be a live controversy to resolve and some kind of relief it can offer an aggrieved party. The city says that with the new laws in place, old gun transport restrictions need not be considered.
Republicans, the Trump administration, and the NYSRPA are eager for a ruling on the constitutional grounds because they believe the high court bench is primed for a decision favorable to gun owners. With five conservative justices and only four progressives, a decision expanding gun rights, or at least chiding the city, is entirely possible.
This is why we need to neuter the SC.
Is there a principled legal argument why the issue isn’t moot?
Deplorables haz guns, duh.
Well, we did…
Until those boating accidents.
ADL’s next expose will be on boating accidents
I think changing the law is a fairly common tactic to try to get parts of the case ruled moot and not get a ruling either way. Not sure how often it works and what differentiates it. I think there is still some active controversy about a law that the government claims they could reinstate.
It sounds like NYC is trying to say that they have changed the rules to something more favorable to gun owners and thus the complaint about how the previous rule was unconstitutional does not stand.
But I expect that it would be easy to show that some people were found in violation of the old rule so saying that old rule is now moot doesn’t give much relief to those people.
If judges can read the president’s mind regarding such questions as national origin on the census, surely they can read the mind of a state legislature and its intent behind tweaking the law in order to escape the Supreme’s attention.
“It limited localities’ ability to restrict guns, which is why many states and cities have signed amicus briefs pleading with the justices not to decide the substantive questions presented here.”
Please don’t stop us from stomping on snecks!
“there must be a live controversy to resolve and some kind of relief it can offer an aggrieved party.”
I’m not disputing the clause, I just don’t think it’s been so narrow. Certainly there is a live controversy in a local government thinking it still has the authority to do what they said they could do.
Roberts may or may not be the bench’s new swing voter, but he certainly dislikes it when anyone—Republican or Democrat—implies the court is a political institution and that the justices are anything but neutral arbiters of the law.
The justices aren’t human. Good. We can unplug them when they go haywire.
“Stop calling me out!”

“Among both men and women, unsolicited sexual advances were considered more disturbing and more discomforting when perpetrated by an unattractive opposite sex colleague than when perpetrated by an attractive opposite sex colleague: ”
https://twitter.com/ImHardcory/status/1200737705761611778
“From an evolutionary perspective, the perception and interpretation of sexual advances depend on sex-specific mechanisms, individual differences in the perceivers’ mating strategies, and the actor’s attractiveness. In two studies (N = 1516), participants evaluated hypothetical situations of sexual advances from a coworker varying in attractiveness (study 1) and physical appearance or status (study 2). In both studies, men perceived sexual advances as less negative than women, especially when the advances arise from a (physically) attractive actor. Furthermore, the higher the sociosexual orientation of the participants, the less harmful these sexual advances are perceived. Finally, the same behavior from an attractive or physically attractive actor is perceived as less harmful than from an unattractive actor. Results are discussed from an evolutionary perspective on the perception of sexual advances.”

He hasn’t suspended habeus corpus
A majority of Republicans say President Trump is a better leader than former President Lincoln, according to this week’s Economist/YouGov weekly tracking poll.
Fifty-three percent of Republicans said Trump was a better president than Lincoln, while 47 percent chose the Civil War-era leader.
Lincoln still overwhelmingly beats Trump among all Americans, 75 percent to 25 percent, with the vast majority of Democrats and independents choosing the former president.
While impeachment and other controversies surrounding Trump continue to dominate headlines, polls have shown the president maintaining a strong approval rating among Republicans.
The Economist/YouGov poll found that 87 percent of those in the GOP either somewhat or strongly approve of the job he’s doing as president.
I love the way they just throw this shit out with no context.
People like Trump better because he never freed the slaves.
Now do Trump v puppies.
Trump should suspend Habeas Corpus to get his poll numbers up.
He would be much more popular with democrats if he were assassinated, dead republicans are their favorite kind of republican after all.
Trump’s final troll. Knowing that then the Dems would have to praise him.
Before they let him down one last time?
It’s like people are figuring out all political polls are push polls, and are trolling the pollsters.
Hindsight is not wisdom. While popular today, he was so unpopular in 1863 Lincoln didn’t even think he’d get the Republican nomination for a second term.

Why is a strong Iran a threat to Europe? They would control all passage into and out of the Persian gulf. As it is now they cant manage that. The leadership are belligerent, aggressive fanatics grinding their own people under heel and would every one else if they could. They don’t want nuclear weapons for defense, ya’ know.
Until there is an at least half-way sane govt there they are a huge potential threat.
Add to this that what oil the EU states don’t get from Russia or the north sea mostly comes from the Persian gulf.
“Duty called…duty being a blt with extra bacon for the wife.”
As long as you snagged some for yourself.
I certainly don’t think Iran is a lovely place. I just don’t see them as a huge geopolitical threat. They are a regional power Ina region we have no business in.
Europe has some business there… both oil and refugee wise.
Yeah but Europeans are colonizers so they totes deserve it.
Except for their repeated threats to close the Persian Gulf, and exercises aimed at testing their ability to do so, I would agree. That’s pretty much directly contrary to American interests.
Oh, also, their support for destabilizing the region and the knock on effects of that (mainly on Europe, at this point).
And pursuit of nuclear tipped long range ballistic missiles.
Is there a principled legal argument why the issue isn’t moot?
In the article it says there is an argument that previous violations could still be used to restrict gun ownership. NYC pinky swears they won’t.
Sounds like someone would have standing, maybe? Hopefully those people are on the suit.
I’ve heard of cases thrown out because there was no consequence ‘yet’ to people who would be affected by a law, so even they might fall under that as well.

It was the final nail. Two interceptions for touchdown and the one second kick at half and Alabama’s muffed kick at the end doomed them.

From San Diego to Chicago to Boston, public libraries that have analyzed the effects of late fees on their cardholders have found that they disproportionately deter low-income residents and children.
Acknowledging these consequences, the American Library Association passed a resolution in January in which it recognizes fines as “a form of social inequity” and calls on libraries nationwide to find a way to eliminate their fines.

Meh. Our library went to zero fines and auto renewal and it’s been fine.
There’s a lot of stuff at libraries that can be easily replaced (popular books, movies, music, etc.). Generally, this is the stuff being kept over its due dates. However, some stuff is not easily replaceable (out of print, first edition, etc.). I’m not sure late fees do much in either case, but there probably should be a deterrent to the latter being lost.
That lost revenue will have to be made up somehow, though.
Pop-up on NPR site: “Support independent journalism…” ***SNORT!!!***
LOL they are the definition of not-independent.
Phew. I can finally return that book I’ve had since 1992 without fear of reprisal.
Green Eggs and Ham?
Robert the Rose Horse.
Missed that one. I should’ve hung on to a copy of one of my faves – Lucille. Cracks me up that it has a Kirkus Review.
$30.
Bullshit. But I guess poors shouldn’t be expected to understand “due dates”. And everyone else can pay for all the stolen materials, so really it was stupid to have fines in the first place.
revisionism
The Newsweek reporter who was fired after writing an inaccurate article about President Trump’s Thanksgiving Day plans is deflecting some of the blame onto her editor.
Newsweek initially published the article Thursday morning, before the president’s trip to Afghanistan was announced publicly. The story’s initial headline was, “How is Trump spending Thanksgiving? Tweeting, golfing and more.”
Kwong told the Washington Examiner that she was assigned to write a story on what Trump was doing on Thanksgiving. The next day, Kwong reached out to the editor on duty and relayed the president’s latest actions, after which the story was published. When the president’s trip to Afghanistan was announced, that editor then decided to assign another reporter to write a new story about it but neglected to update Kwong’s original piece in a timely manner.
Fingers were pointed.
Ignored in all of this is why the troops are in Afghanistan still…
We’ve always been at war with…Is now true to a whole generation of adults.
Wonder if NEWSWEEK sent the termination letter in all caps.
So the Whitehouse sneaks Trump off to Afghanistan for a surprise visit and some nobody reporter writes a puff piece based on what they (to sell the surprise) were saying Trump would be doing and somehow this is a big gotcha? Not seeing it.
She used past tense to describe something that never happened. At least wait until you do your hit piece so that reality complies.
Meh, pre-writing filler articles (it’s a bit of a stretch to claim reporting that Trump will golf and tweet on a holiday as a “hit piece” IMO) is probably more common than one might think. This bit –
“He spent Thanksgiving Eve, from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, playing golf at his Trump International Golf Club. It was closed to the press, according to his public schedule.”
-seems to imply that the White house wanted reporters to think that was what he was doing. Just seems weak tea to me to intentionally trick people and then ridicule them for falling for it.
She got fired for it so it sure seems like the magazine thought it was a bigger deal than you imply.
Well they were made to look bad and the Trumpsters are making hay out of it so I guess maybe it is, I don’t see it is all I’m saying.
They fabricated a story to make Trump look bad. It is called lying. Then they light their hair on fire and run around in circles when they are called fake news.
The fourth estate is chock full of bald faced liars. That is kind of a big deal.
The Whitehouse fabricated the story so Trump could surprise the troops, this reporter fell for it. They told the press he was going to be golfing they set up automated Tweets so it looked like he was tweeting. And how is reporting that Trump was going to golf and tweet over Thanksgiving a hit piece anyway? Sometime a puff piece filler article is just a puff piece filler article.
Newsweek fired her. Go tell them it was no big deal.
Hey, Newsweek it was no big deal.
I actually feel bad for her – they threw her under the bus just for optics. Kind of scummy.
Same.
/necro
I feel bad for her too, IF her account that she was only following her editor’s orders is true.
Her story is plausible – reporters you’ve never heard of don’t just post what they want – they go thru editors. And if the WH told her a false story what the hell else was she gonna write.
Whether it’s her or her editors -or likely a combination- fault, the part that irritates me the most is writing a story on Wednesday about the President’s activities on Thursday. And I don’t care if it’s “just” a puff piece or what the official WH itinerary said. If you’re going to publish the WH itinerary, then describe it as such. Don’t put your own byline on it and call it news.
If this was such a common thing for journalists to do, Newsweek wouldn’t be the only one that got busted doing it.
I have bought a tiny bottle of peychaud’s bitters and have no idea what to do with it. I put a dash in a martini with unimpressive results
Manhattan, bruh. Do you have any rye and vermouth?
nope. Well I have the Noilly Prat which I used in my martini. I have no rye, I have the bottle of Buffalo Trace bourbon I bought on black Friday discount.
I also have half a bottle of campari and my bitter cherry infused gin (which is great). I put a couple of big jars of sloe gin last week but I have 3 more months to go.
I told you to get the Bulleit rye! You never listen to me anymore!
Well black Friday here was 3 weeks ago 🙂 . When I asked was after I bought stuff as I was thinink to get some more Americanese whiskeys besides just the Buffalo Trace. But I did not yet. I prefer the Rittenhouse Rye to be honest but it is out of stock in Romania.
Earl Grey, Bushmills, a little sugar, heavy cream. NFL Sunday!
An old fashioned is my go to bitters drink. Again you need rye or bourbon and fresh oranges and cherries.
An old fashioned is to be made with brandy. /sconnie
If I get rye I should get some absinthe beaus I enjoyed the sazerac cocktail I had at the whisky fest. But that sazerac rye was waay overpriced at 60 lei a bottle.
I don’t know if it comes in Romanian, but I use the Playboy Bartender’s Guide. It’s a very comprehensive old school cocktail book.
i honestly don’t do many cocktails I bought the bitters on a whim
Bitters in water is an indigestion remedy.
Curious did anyone watch the Joe Rogan with Tulsi Gabbard & Jocko Willink?
About half way through it. Good stuff.
It was a good interview. She is certainly a Dem, but she has principles.
Is it a debate?
not quite

Delayed the publication of Cods & Cuntes indefinitely until I figure out which scene (of 2) that I wrote for the pivotal moment the heroine escapes the friendzone. To do that, I am going through every track in my hard drive to find one that will put me on the edge of despair. Except the next one up was entirely inappropriate for the task.
Chiefs.
which scene of 2 works better for the book and captures the characters’ personalities and feelings best*
‘Ders!
Fuck a duck.

Wassamatter with that one? Certainly less depressing than this one. Also no “doo wop, doobie doo doo wop.” (Srsly?)
I had the link prettified in my original post and did something wrong so it doesn’t show up.
Late update: considering changing it to }}us{{ so the nipples are facing each other.
Also, sorry to hear about the delay, but I’m sure you want to have it completely to your satisfaction – a lot of the point of self-publishing. Should I keep reading the version you sent me anyway?
Neh, don’t feel obliged unless you want to tell me which one seems more real to you. ?
But it’s at the end of the book.

It’s fun to see where I need to be in order to catch the good games instead of the crap ones I always get.

These photos from the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong are incredible.

Can we exchange some of our tyranny-worshiping ingrates for Hong Kong protestors?
