Tomorrow my wife takes a guild test that determines whether or not she’ll be allowed to practice in the field she spent two years in school for. Things are a little… tense… around here today. We don’t have a cat to kick, so I’m filling that role for the household. “See that scar? Its about the size of a cigar. That’s what happens when you fail to make breakfast properly in my house.” Kidding. She’s just freaking out and not really talking to me.
If it is true that the Trump administration has learned restraint… the world may never recover.
Let’s play a game called Antifa or white supremacists.
Duke Nukem is dropping out of the Dem primary. Seriously, if you can’t make it to Iowa or New Hampshire, what the fuck are you doing declaring your candidacy?
39 warning shots? Is this guy a cop? Nice that his 12 year old son saved the day with a wrench. (h/t FdA)
Let’s just rock today.

Speak English to me! I thought this country spawned the fuckin language and so far nobody seems to speak it!
Sorry to go OT right away, but I just had thought, what if Eppstein’s kiddie case ends up being tied to a pizzeria!?
*mind blown*
Kano, Nigeria, so not woke.
So what professional qualification examination is your wife sitting for?
Florida Woman.
Physical therapist assistant.
Is that code for “hand jobs”?
Raising Money?
Since CPRM started it, I’ll carry over the Eppstien discussion from the last thread. As crazy as it sounds, there are still journalists out there who real work. This new case was in part driven by an investigation by the Miami Herald about his last plea deal. If you read any of those articles, it will make you sick. Prosecutors, lawyers, and some law enforcement made sure he did minimal time and sealed all the records. Then when he got out, he went right back to what he was doing.
If it’s one thing that bothers me more than anything else, and that drives my political outlook, it’s the disgusting idea that “some animals are more equal than others”. I hope there’s a big public outcry, and I hope a lot of people burn over this.
There is also they dude out in California who ends up with OD dead hookers in his apartment
A 10-07?
Link, SF’d.
My assumption is always that these people have something on someone higher up the food chain than the prosecutors, etc.
Molyneux and Cernovich have a 30 or so minute video on this that I haven’t watched yet that should be pretty detailed if you’re interested:
https://youtu.be/mtiV0VJsc9c
It involves the Clintons…and unfortunately some animals are being treated “more equally”. I still think it can be reversed before the civil war.
And US Sen Robert Menendez (unknown, NJ)
I’m sure there’s a list. And none of us will like all the “more equals”.
From the warning shots article
That’s a hell of thing for a 12 year old to do. Apparently that was their first night in the house.
I’m pretty sure you’re required to disclose occasional appearances of naked lady devil’s.
To the church, or the police?
To Sugar Free.
Love the avatar. Subtle.
Thanks!
Of naked lady devil’s what?
Pet Peeve.
Well, there is a period after “devil’s”. I hope that’s not what he was going for.
My bad typing on my phone.
shoved a wrench into the intruder’s neck
That was either an abnormally sharp wrench, or an abnormally strong 12-year-old.
39 shots? So he must have had at least three mags loaded and ready. Or the time to reload some mags in the middle of all this.
He didn’t want to hit her right away.was having too much fun wrestling.
So if there is anyone who needs to have their firearms confiscated it is that guy.
If you can’t use it the way it was intended to be used to protect your family under a completely justified situation then then you have no business having a gun That story should have ended with shots being fired tops, 1 warning shot, and 1 to center mass.
Also, she didn’t have the strength of 4 men, what she had was a lack of concern for her self preservation and so she didn’t leave anything in reserve
Also, she didn’t have the strength of 4 men…
I especially doubted that description, considering it is reported she was taken down by a 12-yo boy. I don’t know any 12-yo kids who could take down 4 men.
Well, if those four ‘men’ are soyboys…
Apparently you never saw Disney’s Ninja Kids, where 7-year-olds were shown taking out 250 pound thugs easily.
Yes!
Not sure what he was shooting, but I wouldn’t have wanted to be living anywhere near this guy, luckily it sounds like no stray bullets got anyone else.
Hey, no warning wrench?!

Sensei and family are on vacation at the seashore, but today has been rainy. So far I can recommend Netflix’s “Street Food” documentary.
I’ve watched episodes 1 and 2. This is looking at Asian street food and the one on Osaka, Japan has been perfectly on point. For our Japanese speaking Glibs he is hysterical and the English translations and the filming did a good job capturing it. Episode 3 goes to India. I’m looking forward to it.

I’ve only had it on in the background while I’m working. I stopped to listen when they did pho.
That particular women went from having nothing but the shirt on her back to still cooking at 72 at her same local place. She also managed a Michelin star as well.
And thanks for not including the only new and possibly interesting information in this book.
My thoughts exactly when I read this story.
The other piece of “news” floating out from that book is that Melania thought Ford was lying. Could the first lady elaborate please?
Thought she was lying? Is there anyone who didn’t find it perfectly obvious that the whole smear was an absurd lie?
Dude whom everyone that knows him for decades calls him the world’s most boyscouty boyscout ran a gang rape gang. Sure. Sounds legit.
Ford wasn’t the one who accused him of running a gang rape. She was the credible one.
You forgot to put “credible” in scare quotes.
What’s not credible about drunk teenage boys getting handsy with a drunk slutty teenage girl?
Leaving aside her rather strange affect, and how this never came up even though Kavanaugh was known to her as a federal judge who had to be confirmed at least twice . . .
The parts that strain credulity are where the event traumatizes her for life, but she can’t remember who else was at the very small gathering (there was always one person left unnamed), how she got there or, more importantly, how she got home, just for starters.
A close read of her story over the months leading up to the hearing also shows subtle shifts in her claims that very conveniently meet some of the objections or questions.
And, of course, the rather blatant lies she told, as well, about the second door on her house, etc.
Sure, I just wanted to hear the first lady spell out the bullshit.
Even Melania? That settles it.
Ugh. I’ve taken three bar exams, and will never take another one. She has my sympathies.
What’s the pass rate for the test she’s taking?
High. It doesn’t stop her from sweating bullets

I took you up on the Langmuir speech. It is delicious. “You see, for maximum result you need to have your sausage wrapped in waxed paper and be standing in a bucket of kosher salt water.”

Excellent! It’s a great bullshit detection tool.
A female suspect who was naked and with blue hair in a ponytail broke into the family’s home and refused to leave, telling them: “I’m the devil,” WRIC reported.

What do you tell a Brett with two black eyes?
Want some Peas?
“I done tole you twice, no mayo on my sammich!”
I’d imagine a gator-fritter sandwich would need something to moisten it.
“something”
oh oh i’ve got a couple..
How does Brett tell what time it is? He checks the clock on the stove IN THE KITCHEN.
Why did Brett wear a white tux at his wedding? So the dishwasher matches the refrigerator IN THE KITCHEN.
Luckily my phone works in the kitchen, too.
Whatever you tell him say it real slow ’cause obviously his ass don’t listen too well. – terrible domestic abuse joke

Been busy (as ever) today, so haven’t seen, but any discussion of the seeming likelihood that the prosecutors found Epstein’s blackmail stash? DVDs in a safe labeled Young [Name] and [Name], with the second name presumably being someone … important.
I’m rooting for both Trump and Clinton being part of the blackmail stash.
I’m hoping Menendez finally gets what he deserves.
We have enough evidence of Trump’s type to know that it is unlikely.
Bubba’s type seems to be anyone he has power over, so his participation would be more plausible.
That mirrors my thinking.
I hope that the US Attorney gets nailed for…. something.
There’s no excuse for what he did. None.
ENB noted that the US Government now seems to be focused on seizing his assets, because of course they are.
I hope that the US Attorney gets nailed for…. something.
That’s a good one.
SDNY Public Corruption Unit – a Preet Bharara joint.
Acosta? The media would love Trump’s labor secretary going down.
There’s video of that too?
Oh man.
Phrasing.
I assume some Hollywood big-shots would be in that folder, as well.
Bring it on.
I’m hoping Trump is not part of it. I’m not usually a lesser of two evils arm waver but honestly… If Trump goes down it is guaranteed Team Blue takes the WH and they have gone full commie.
From available evidence, Trump was not particularly friendly with Epstein (having banned him from Mar el Lago after he hit on a minor there). Though the evidence is anecdotal.
Mar El Lago. This is why we must build the wall.
Like it doesn’t have a foreign name anyway
*mashes the pedant button
banned him from Mar el Lago after he hit on a minor there
I had not heard that.
And you won’t in the MSM.
FromHere. I have not found the “Court Documents” in question, but haven’t looked.
It would be something if Trump turns out to be the most moral person in all this.
That’s like being the prettiest girl at an SJW protest.
Harsh.
Let’s see:
Convicted sex criminal
Former head of the FBI
Former federal prosecutor
I think that sets the bar low enough even for Trump.
Alan Dershowitz, noted Harvard Law Prof and friend/representative of Epstein, is also accused of partaking.
I’d actually be surprised if he did.
He’s the one that when accused by a girl before sued for defamation and got them to back off. And even got her lawyers to say it was I’ll advised.
Then he wrote a letter to get the Pulitzer Prize revokes for the Miami herald who he thought uncritically ran the story despite having counter evidence.
Don’t know if I’d fuck with that guy again.
I was thinking more if Epstein kept records of who he pimped the girls to (and why the hell wouldn’t he?), and Dersh’s name is on that list . . .
What I’m really hoping for, is that the feds got their hands on his “insurance policy” during the raid.
I wonder whether/how his overseas homes could be searched.
Dershowitz has been demanding that these documents be made public for years.
I am not aware of any credible reports of Trump being anything other than moral.
The whole cheating on his wives thing doesn’t strike you as immoral?
Yeah, he’s immoral. His redeeming feature is he angers Team Blue on a regular basis. But no way is he somehow morally upright.
This is why I’m guessing that Trump’s not really going to be on the list of horribles.
He’s already thrown this shot at Epstein without fear of anything being revealed.
And yeah, he’s got a type and this ain’t it.
It’s about power, nothing more, nothing less.

His whole series on the falsification of the weather data is great.
There’s an interesting comment in there that I think gets more to the heart of what people should be considering. A guy says something along the lines that the real metric should be seeing if and where plants and animals are living in ranges they previously didn’t because of changes in climate, because that would be a more relevant indicator that you couldn’t really fudge in one direction or another or blame on instruments. I also tend to think that gets us past the argument over whether or not climate change is occurring and on to the way more important question, which is whether or not we should even give a shit, and, depending on that answer, what if anything we can and should do about it.
But that assumes plants and animals are incapable of adapting, which seems like a foolish position to take.
Well, with plants at least I’d think you’d be on fairly solid ground.
“Why would virtuous scientists….”
Seriously? You shoot the shit out of your house because you can’t handle a naked chick, and then want us to pay for it?
Bold.

I’m having terrible images of blue-haired activists who have no right going around in the buff.
Either that or someone on enough drugs to brawl with the family, and thus suffering from addict face.
When my wife and I first shacked up in college, we had no money so we rented in the barrio of Moorhead, MN (where all the illegals came to stay during sugar beet season). On a nice Sunday morning, we had just sat down to read the newspaper. This pants-less lady with a bra on the outside of her shirt walks in our door and sits on the couch, picks up the funny pages, then takes them into the bathroom. She took a massive dump and them brushed her teeth. I was in shock.
When she finally came out of the bathroom, we hurried her out the door – and then locked it.
We locked the door all the time after that.
I have a habit of locking my door learned in early childhood, so I have no “random stranger wander in” stories.
Your mom walked in on your “cleaning your gun”?
None of those stories either.
In my case, it wasn’t a random stranger, it was my POS older brother.
Why’d you give him a key/fail to lock your door?
We shared a bedroom growing up. I couldn’t lock the door.
If he lived there, it’s not the same.
I live in North Minneapolis. I lock my front door even if I’m just sitting on the front steps. And it’s always locked when I’m inside.
I often forget to lock the door. I’ve left the garage door open overnight a number of times. I leave my iPhone in the car regularly.
How did you know it was massive?
Not even a courtesy flush?
NO!
How rude. Even uninvited guests should flush.
Whose toothbrush did she use?
Never go full Tex Watson.
She didn’t think he was serious for those first 39 warning shots. But after 20 or 30 more she may have taken heed!
Shit, if you’re going to pull on gun on an intruder, SHOOT THEM. Otherwise, don’t even get it out.
Think about it for a second.
You shoot a naked, unarmed woman in your house.
What jury is going to Acquit you?
Better off in court that way. Dead womxn tell no tales.
Warning shots. FFS.
I’ve always been taught that warning shots are for the movies or 18th century naval combat. If you shoot a gun in self-defense you shoot to kill. Warning shots are just stray bullets.
Also, 39 rounds? 39? If you CAN fire 39 warning shots, you weren’t in danger to begin with. Something’s missing here.
Blammo.

Over/Under on when Epstein gets suicided?
It will be so much cleaner if he is killed by white supremacists while incarcerated. Lots of those boys in the rest home.
The circle of life.
I don’t get it? Do college girls look that much different than high school girls? Seems like the dumbest crime of all time for a rich guy.
If your kink is doing shit that other people can’t and getting away with it, the college girls have no appeal.
I’m also betting he just assumed himself invincible.
Banging underage girls is absolutely a power trip, IMO. If it was just the sex, hell, that ain’t where you go for top notch sexual antics. Nope, its the power.
And I’m hoping that power trip extends to keeping a list of who he pimped them to. If so, that’s a ticket any prosecutor would want to punch, especially a headline-hungry SDNY prosecutor.
And that the immunity deals in Florida get blown up or are just not applicable to a federal prosecution.
It’s got to be more than just a list of name and dates. Some collaboration of the information, otherwise he (or anyone else) could just throw names on there regardless if anything was done. Once the name is on there, good luck clearing it. Soviet level unpersoning right there.
A sheet of paper with names and dates is less than adequate.
Throw in testimony by the guy who wrote it down, and you’ve got a solid running start.
Get the girls to confirm, you’ve got all the high-profile convictions a publicity-hungry prosecutor could ever dream of.
I had an employee who got jacked up for it twice. Acquitted both times. I’m under the impression that it’s a self esteem thing. Like the young stuff won’t notice how unworldly you are, that kind of thing.

Nation’s Largest Teachers’ Union Embraces ‘Fundamental Right to Abortion’
The statement outlining Business Item 56 doesn’t even make an attempt to articulate why the NEA has a stake in the abortion debate at all. It merely takes for granted that, as an influential left-wing organization, the group must necessarily champion the entire progressive agenda. This is a growing tendency on the Left, as “intersectional” thinking takes hold — the idea that each interest group within the broader progressive movement has a responsibility to embrace and advocate the particular interests of the rest.
I always thought it was bad for business to reduce your customer pool.
Teachers have been fighting for smaller class sizes since forever.

I always thought it was bad for business to reduce your customer pool.
The more inclusive they strive to be, the more exclusive they become. It’s kind of ironic.
The left has zero self awareness. Useful idiots all the way down.
This has been the case for quite a while. At any large rally frequented by the left, there’s always groups from completely unassociated causes flying their banners and signs, since everyone must think the same on everything. You’ll see anti-Israel stuff at an open borders rally, commies at pro-choice rallies, etc.
There ain’t no cafeteria leftism.
Nope. Its a totalizing ideology that dictates every aspect of human existence. All must recite every jot and tittle of the catechism.
The fact that the catechism changes on a daily basis just increases the insecurity of those at the bottom, and thus increases the power of those at the top.
Yep. It’s a manifestation of their tendency to infest and take over every group they get a toe into.
Not to worry, there are plenty of ESL students to take those slots

Do these milkshake chuckers ever get the snot smacked out of them?
They should. Actually, more like a full-scale multi-day hospitalizing beat-down. Their gimmick has clear implications and they know it. Throwing a milkshake on the guy is an act of publicly humiliating the target, of making him a laughingstock. But, it’s also a mock assassination. It’s telling the target that they can be had. If a milkshake, why not a pistol? Hell, we’ve already seen the tactic escalate to the point where they used cement to give Andrew Ngo a brain bleed.
And when called on it, they give the bullshit “It’s just a milkshake. Can’t you take a joke?” line.
There was this – https://youtu.be/7fDzLGDTMqc

“Embodying masculinity in female dominated research settings: A male reflection of ‘doing research’ in massage parlours
This article considers the male experience of conducting fieldwork in massage parlours; off-street environments in which women exchange sexual services in predominantly heterosexual monetary transactions. It critically examines debates surrounding the desirability of gender incongruence between researchers and their informants. By acknowledging the complex interplay of gender and relations in the field, experiences of power are presented as variable rather than fixed. Honest and detailed accounts of interactions with sex workers illustrate the complexities of embodying masculinity in clandestine and feminized spaces. The perceived benefits and limitations of gender incongruence are presented. The need to consciously manage and comprehensively reflect upon the impacts of gender, in addition to the complex array of power dynamics in the field is discussed.”

“Honest and detailed accounts of interactions with sex workers illustrate the complexities of embodying masculinity in clandestine and feminized spaces”
…OR, straight doods prefer getting hand jobs from women.
Ockham’s razor n’ all.
Your abstract is going to need about 2,500 more made up, incomprehensible, or absurdly misused words or phrases to get any whiffs from a publisher.
Wait, now a hooker’s place of business is “feminized”? Really?
Profile I saw today on what is supposedly homomasculine (that’s your mostly straight-appearing gay guys) social media – “non-toxic masculinity is hot.”
Yeah, whatever green-haired boy. And if you have to constrain or define it then it isn’t hot.
“that’s your mostly straight-appearing gay guys”
Isn’t that most gay guys? I find the whole “I want to sing the girls’ part in Glee” so tiresome. If I walked down Palm Canyon Drive during the Palm Springs White Party, I guessing that a lot of those guys could kick my ass.
Whenever I her the phrase toxic masculinity, I always imagine the bean dinner scene from Blazing Saddles.
I’ll never forget the Mel Brooks interview after they showed that scene for the first time on cable tv.
They weren’t allowed to include the fart noises, so it just looked like a beautifully choreographed cowboy ballet.
We watch that movie fairly often. I’m going to have to mute that scene next time.
If fat girl feminism is any guide, that will shortly morph into “Soyboyphobia is patriarchy and must be destroyed!”
sigh. These clowns are so tiresome.
Stranger Things 3.
I thought it started pretty strong but the last few episodes lost it big time. Thoughts?
It lost me early in the series. Disclaimer – I’m just enough older than the kids depicted that I will always consider them as the annoying younger brothers and lower-level weed dealers than myself and my contemporaries.
Interesting. I tried to watch but it came off (to me) as a product of a cynical development committee trying to ensnare my kid brother with fan service generational touchstones – “Kids love that X-Files, kids love that Goonies. Let’s mash ’em together and talk about New Coke and Hands Across America.”
Only in at 4 episodes. So far, loving it.
Way too blatant on the 80’s references. It’s in your face. Fucking “new” coke was a two month minor ordeal like 35 years ago, it was mostly a joke to those who witnessed it.

So backwards. The American Council on Science and Health wants us to go backwards to a time when you could be forced to get mental health evaluations or possibly be committed. That’s super smart and no downsides ever occurred with that logic. But, they have “science” in their name so they must be right or something.
This is totally not just scientism wrapped in a new garb. It’s totally different or something.

Government Power Paranoia Disorder
Yeah, I posted in the comments there yesterday. See if you can figure out which comment is mine.
Get the popcorn out. Local school districts are battling the Minnesoda Human Rights Commission and Dept of Ed over how kids are being punished. The State says that minority kids are getting disciplined way too often. Local schools are saying, fuck your plan we are going to do our own thing.
I’m sure the local schools remember how badly it went in the Obama years when schools were told not do discipline kids and things got ugly at some schools with several teachers getting beaten up by students.
They tried that in Tucson. Some the schools descended into violent anarchy within a few months. I think the superintendent got canned and the policy changed.
Same in NYC and with the same result. I don’t what became of the policy – it hasn’t been in the news recently at all.
They really don’t get that teens are not yet civilized human beings, do they? I’ve met teens who were straight up arguments for retroactive abortion until 18, and then a few years later turned out to be decent individuals. The veneer of civilization may be thin, but on a lot of teens it’s damn near non-existent.
This “disparate impact” shit is where the (noble and important) idea of anti-racism goes off the rails and becomes something utterly malignant.
They conclude that because minority students are being punished more, it must be because of racism. It must be – it simply MUST be. Do they ever consider the possibility of rampant anti-intellectualism in inner city ghetto culture (which would affect anyone who is immersed in that culture regardless of race)? Do they ever examine parenting styles that these problem children are subject to? People like Bill Cosby, Martin Luther King, and Barack Obama have referenced some internal factors that could explain at least some of these disparities, so the whole idea can’t be written off as racism.
These may be uncomfortable questions, but you’re not doing anyone any favors by refusing to investigate the nature of the problem.
There’s nothing to be made by solving the problem. The power and money are in misdirecting and prolonging it.
Um, it is disrespectful.
Sit down, try to focus and shut the fuck up until called upon.
See? Simple.
So problematic.
Via the Atlantic, a new study purports to show that greater (entertainment) TV consumption leads to more populist voting, using Italy as the subject of study.

The article does include a disclaimer about social science studies, but it is written in an almost parodic manner:
” On one of Mediaset’s most infamous shows, a model would take off a piece of clothing every time a contestant answered a question correctly or had a lucky turn at the roulette wheel; when she was (nearly) naked, he won”
When is this show being imported to the US?
Right after Super Jockey.
Sadly most YouTube videos seem to have been removed including the one with Bon Jovi.
Mildly NSFW

The area around Dresden was the only part of East Germany where the West German TV was not available: it’s in a valley. Guess where the AfD has the highest support today.
Aside from the whipping he’d take in the media (which he’d get anyway), what’s stopping Trump from just having them put the citizenship question on the census anyway? If the forms are already printed/being printed, even a TRO would be impractical no?
“Tell me again. How many divisions does Chief-Justice Roberts command?”
“Tell me again. How many divisions does Chief-Justice Roberts command?”
That’s the risk of judicial activism, though, isn’t it? You can only go so far until you’re no longer seen as the defender of the Constitution and just another political player. One with a rather poor hand, at that. You don’t really have any popular constituency, since you’ve never actually faced a meaningful election.
“They’ve made their ruling, now let’s see them enforce it.”
– Andrew Jackson
And his portrait is currently hanging in the oval office.
Only ’cause he was a racist, yo.
I find it highly disturbing that our courts are now inquiring into the motivation of the people who develop and enact policies. The citizenship question was struck solely because the courts rejected the asserted reason for including it. We are now at a point where somebody with motiviations (and priors) acceptable to the courts can do things that somebody with motivations (and priors) a judge finds unacceptable cannot do. If Obama had included a citizenship question and said it was to enable targeted federal aid to jurisdictions with high numbers of illegals, no court would have struck it down. Trump includes a citizenship question, and no matter what he said the reason was, a court will strike it down because they just know its meant to be racially discriminatory.
Laws should be evaluated based solely on their text and their foreseeable consequences.
Don’t worry, much like the new embrace of federalism, this new development will not last beyond Orange Man
If Trump wins re-election and gets a Repub Congress, I think they need to take a good hard look at the power of the federal courts.
For example, why is it that a district judge can issue an order that has authority beyond the judge’s district?
They couldn’t even get rid of Zerocare.
LOL- that’s not going to happen. If Republicans have unified government again they’ll squabble amongst themselves like they did last time
That’s all different becuz ORANGEMANBAD. We promise, cross our fingers, that we’ll reinstitute Habeus Corpus once the war is over. We *promise*.
The horror. THE HORROR.

What Should A Black Law Professor Do When A White Student Wears A MAGA Hat In Class?
I’ll take “nothing” for $1,000.00, Alex.
I’ll take “shit that didn’t happen”.
Maybe do a little teaching.
“Moreover, as an African-American male…”
“From my (progressive) perspective as a black man …”
Good thing that he fully buys into the group-think. Individualism is racism.
Say “please remove your hat while indoors”?
Remember that the student is the fucking customer and shut the fuck up?
^This right here. I’ll also accept “give the student a short thank-you note for covering your mortgage for the semester”.
For anyone who was keeping track. My drug screen was negative.
Smoke up to celebrate!
“Exxxxxxcellent, Smithers!”
HAH!
Who should I call to turn you in?
Rat that bastard out!
Sorry, I got caught up in the moment.
Not my boss. He sent me the results with a note that said, “based on the look on your face, I thought you’d like to see this.”
Heh. We should play poker sometime. 😉
The proper response to such a note is “Whatever do you mean?” It’s also the only response, IYKWIMAITYD.
Yep. Once you’ve been searched while holding a few times and not end up in jail the random UA is a big ‘meh’. Never imply or deny, just shrug, say sure, no problem, then take care of it.
For next time:

I’ve used it and it’s worked everytime. Hell, a buddy of mine used it to pass a UA for Northrop Grumman.
“Fetish product”. Yeah, OK.
Legal asscovering’s gonna legal asscover, yo.
Yeah, you gotta be careful about those products if you’re peeing for the courts, though. If it looks like you’ve flushed your system, they consider that evidence of use. Or so I was told many years ago.
Luckily, I’ve never had to pee for the legal system. In fact, I’ve never spent more than about four hours in holding. Shocking, I know.
Also, It’s a synthetic urine that comes in a pouch that you strap around your waist. I’m pretty sure that the courts usually have somebody look at your junk while you piss so it wouldn’t be an option.
There is a product that includes a prosthetic wang!
Onterrio!!
Who’s down with Onterrio PP?
Yeah you know me…
Apparently you can buy guaranteed-clean human urine online. Be sure to get an adult of the same biological gender as yourself.
How dare you gender my urine!
Unless you just want to fuck with their minds, man.
For now on I’m sticking to something harmless . . You know, like drinking.
Huzzah!
Congrats. I kinda figured you’d be ok based on your usage levels/ history.
Excellent!
*hands bang a joint*
Congrats, man
Boom! Lets party!
Time to talk to your dealer, he’s been stiffing you.
blablbb

sorry, messing around with new Eyepiece and that posted for some reason
Don, can you smell toast?
He may have escaped TX, but apparently not either a stroke or dementia.
the trip through Arkansas will do that
Eyepiece/Monocle not working right for me
I adjusted the choke linkage first, but now I’m thinking the idle rich screw is dialed in too much; will back out two turns and try again
always had this: old link and other edit buttons on one row and new ones on another 🙁
Now Preview Comment doesn’t create preview: it submits comment !

If you’re suffering a medical emergency, type REEEEE!
Weird, all of Twitter appears to be suffering a medical emergency.
My first thought was the cat’s on the keyboard.
Silver coke spoon,
Little boy blew the man in the moon?
God I hate that song.
When you gonna cook up? I don’t when, but well get to banging then, we gonna finally mainline then?
And yeah, that was supposed to be for Mad.
We’ll be getting some Shakespeare soon.
Maybe not Shakespeare.
Not quite Shakespeare
I was expecting this. Good job.
I’ll bet you weren’t expecting this.
Perhaps Shakespeare

Translation: Charter schools make us look bad. What an a hole.
The most maddening part of this whole charter school debate is that the public school establishment – the ones decrying “profiting from education” – are the ones who stand to lose a lot of money if more parents switch their kids to private schools.
The teacher’s union depends wants as many teachers as possible so that they can collect more dues and then donate more to the Democrat Party, who will pour more money into the bottomless pit that is the K-12 system.
They don’t really have a problem with people profiting from education as long as it’s them and only them.
Public school. Bad test results mean we need more money. Nobody is motivated by getting more money, amirite?
He really is a real-life comic-book villain.
OTOH, the least popular man in America champions gun confiscation and shuttering charter schools. Just smile at your good fortune.
Bill releases comment on Epstein. Weasel words abound.

I dont have a critical eye for such things, but Bill was certainly a frequent flyer
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1507315-epstein-flight-manifests.html
Which words are weaselly?
Clinton?
Touché
I did check to see if he used the word “is” first.
The part where Bill Clinton assures us that he didn’t do anything wrong?
Bill Clinton was getting that sweet, sweet trailer park ass. Why would he risk that for some second rate underage poon?
Because playas gotta play?
The “to be” verbs.
Excellent
If anybody is still leaving from work or just traveling south end of denver, check your apps. Accidents everywhere. I-25 stopped. Countyline road has been closed for hrs. GF is trying to get to her studio, 17 miles from here (Aurora), and she called to say she isn’t there yet. She left 90 minutes ago.
I had the day off, thanks.
