“Does either of you want to explain why you decided to say you had a bomb on an airplane?”
A TSA inspector had Sugarfree and I in a small room. It had a single table and a couple chairs with a small light fixture in the center of the ceiling. He sat there with an unopened bag of donuts on the table.
“I don’t recall saying anything…” I answered. “…other than a request for counsel as it is my right guaranteed under the Constitution.”
“I said I had a bomb” Sugarfree answered.
“Shut up!” I shouted. “You’re going to get us into more trouble.”
“It was true. I brought the plane down. I warned you.” Sugarfree continued.
“What is the reason you travelled to Washington?” The inspector asked again.
“I told you, we are newlyweds on our way to the Earth Capital.” Sugarfree said, again. In all fairness to him, most of his answers seemed to confuse the TSA Inspector.
“You guys have been here a while.” The inspector seemed to take a different tack. “You want a donut?” He broke the seal on the bag of Drake’s Cakes donuts.
“I believe I requested counsel.” I answered.
“I went Keto years ago, I can’t eat that.” Sugarfree answered.
“You sure?” The inspector asked again.
“Oh hell.” I grabbed one with both hands, being handcuffed, and began eating the semi-stale powdered donut. “I am still not answering anything until my counsel arrives.”
“You sure you don’t want one?” The inspector asked Sugarfree again. “Drakes Cakes are really good.”
Sugarfree shook his head.
“Cmon. You want a donut. You’re really hungry. You’re going to eat one and tell me where that bomb is.”
Sugarfree shook his head again.
“GODDAMNIT!” The inspector grabbed a donut and shoved Sugarfree onto the floor, stuffing the donut into Sugarfree’s mouth. “I SAID YOU WANTED A GODDAMN DONUT.”
“What is wrong with you? That is abuse of power. There is no reason to do that.” I said.
“YOU WANT ANOTHER DONUT?” The inspector asked me.
“Fuck off slaver!”
Sugarfree rose slowly from the floor. His eyes were bloodshot with pupils dilated and a burst capillary under his left eyelid made him appear to be crying blood. His hands were noticeably shaking, his breathing seemed to increase rapidly. “I….told….you….” his quivering words stammered out like a meth addict.
“I….went…..KEETTTOOOOOOO”
He screeched loud enough the inspector covered his ears. I tried but couldn’t because of the handcuffs.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Sugarfree kept shouting as he snapped the chain on the handcuffs. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” Sugarfree picked up the stainless steel table and threw it at the inspector.
“Stop that!!” The inspector tried shouting over Sugarfree’s bloody screech. He pulled his weapon and emptied the magazine at Sugarfree.
_____
…thankfully this isn’t that kind of story.
“You’re going to have to explain how we got out of there.” Sugarfree said while we were walking through the Mall. “I kind of blacked out there.”
“You tweaked out. I’m not so sure I want to get into that right now.” I replied.
“Why am I so hungry?” Sugarfree asked.
“I’ll tell you what, once we find STEVE SMITH I’ll buy you a steak?” I answered.
“Elk? I can totally go for elk…” Sugarfree made a yummy sound. “Where’s STEVE anyways?”
“The White House is this way, I assume he’s in that crowd somewhere. Nothing is on the twatter about a Sasquatch being shot by SS.”
“The SS?” Sugarfree was puzzled. “The Schutzstaffel?”
“No the Secret Serv–yes the Schutzstaffel.” I stopped. “Is that STEVE?”
Sugarfree looked onto the crowd of people in black masks gathering at the White House gates. He fixated on a single seven foot tall figure in the crowd. His back was turned to us and was wearing a black hood and mask like everyone else. “Is that ANTIFA?” He asked.
“1-2-3-fo, racist Trump has got to go. 5-6-7-8 we want someone new to hate”
“What are they chanting?” I asked. We began to work our way through the crowd. They had a distinct smell of urine and spray paint; and those fucking idiots kept stepping on my shoes.
“1-2-3-fo, racist Trump has got to go. 5-6-7-8 we want someone new to hate”
The gates to the White House opened, revealing a limosine behind them.
“He’s going to rape Trump in the limo.” Sugarfree said. “This should be good.”
“1-2-3-fo, racist Trump has got to go. 5-6-7-8 we want someone new to hate”
“That’s not the President’s Motorcade.” I said. I turned and looked at Sugarfree. He emptied a glass bottle onto a convenient white girl with dreadlocks.
“What are you doing you creep?” The white girl asked.
“Do you have Styrofoam peanuts?” Sugarfree asked her.
“Actually I do, comrade.” She pulled out a handful from her coat.
“1-2-3-fo, racist Trump has got to go. 5-6-7-8 we want someone new to hate”
The car began to slowly creep out from the open gates. The crowd began to gather around the car.
“They won’t run over the crowd…” I said. I looked and Sugarfree had stuffed the Styrofoam peanuts into the bottle. “Too many people are watching.”
“1-2-3-fo, racist Trump has got to go. 5-6-7-8 we want someone new to hate”
STEVE SMITH GET ORANJ MAN!
The lone figure towering over the crowd began forcing his way through the crowd and jumped on the car. Suddenly my phone began vibrating.
“Oh no, he’s confusing Trump with Trump Jr.”
Sugarfree was shaking the bottle to dissolve the peanuts. I smelled gasoline. My phone vibrated again…
“He took a photo of STEVE…we need to get him out of here.” Sugarfree somehow found an oily rag. My phone vibrated again…
and again…
and again…
”The voice of reason chimes in. Do these people do anything beside sit on twatter?” I asked. Then it vibrated once more…
”STEVE SMITH has a twatter!?”
“Do you have a light?” Sugarfree asked. I handed him my Zippo and tried to squeeze my way through the crowd.
“STEVE! You’ve been made! Get out of here.” I shouted.
STEVE SMITH GET ORANJ MAN. STEVE SMITH TAKE BACK $1.5MILLION PAPER LOSS FROM ORANJ MAN.
”Thanks for the light.” Sugarfree handed me back my Zippo. He had a lit Molotov cocktail. “How long do we let this cook?”
ORANJ MAN NO RUN FROM STEVE SMITH. STEVE SMITH GET ORANJ MAN GOOD
“Aye-ya-yie!” Sugarfree tossed the Molotov cocktail at the crumpled limousine. Flames erupted and spread across the car and into the crowd.
”The Nazis are here! Run!” The crowd began to disperse and panic. A clusterfuck of hapless retards in black masks crawling over each other. I grabbed Sugarfree by the collar and moved with the crowd.
”Do you see Steve?” I asked. Sugarfree pointed at a tall figure sprinting through the crowd.
And like that, he was gone.
Washington was on lockdown and none of the restaurants seemed to be open. Sugarfree didn’t seem to mind, he had a pigeon spinning on a makeshift spit over a small fire in a park. He seemed to have spooked the homeless. Thankfully, I found a gas station open.
Tecate Titanium. Its like regular Tecate, only they don’t water it down. Its a thirst quenching, 7.5%abv Pilsner that has a needless bite of booze, which was what I wanted. Previously found only in Mexico, it is now available stateside…in tall cans.
”You want a breast?” Sugarfree asked?
“I’ll take a wing. Well done.” Tecate Titanium: 2.5/5

Next time YOU wrangle STEVE SMITH.
Epstein committed suicide, this is how wars begin,
Wrong yes, Evil yes. But you have to respect the skill of the Clinton’s fixers/hitters.
I’m wondering if they got to Epstein in a similar way they got to Penangeli in the Godfather.
Jk I think.
I supposed to believe a guy who tried to hang himself in jail a few days ago just successfully hanged himself? Rest easy Bill and Hillary, nobody is talking now.
Epstein has a brother……I wonder if some Clinton associate brought him by the jail for a visit.
Even the normies where I usually post aren’t buying it as a ‘suicide’
Unless they have a videotape, I am calling BS.
And even then, someone needs to check and see if it is a deepfake
Of course STEVE SMITH has a Twatter.
Enjoyed your handicraft, Mr Shooter. Glad that SS made his getaway, getting lockup on the East Coast appears to ruin a prisoner’s day, IYKWIM.
The Schutzstaffel?
AND BY “SCHUTZSTAFFEL” MEAN “SCHWANZSTUFFLE”
Cool sidebar, bro.
“I’ll take a wing. Well done.”
Wise choice.

Why does it only get a 2.5?
Hey, did you ever get your gate key situation sorted? If not, the offer still stands if you give me the measurements.
Take Tecate, add a shot of Everclear. Thats what this tastes like….which doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
This cocktail needs a name.
The Wetback, perhaps?
I’ll consider it coined.
Excellent illustration on the main page.
OT: Fios in front of my building, rooting under the sidewalk and erecting some sort of switch-box looking thing. Interesting….

We LOVE our fios. Are they just bringing it to your neighborhood?
No idea. Last I looked some streets around me had it and mine did not.
Been wanting to drop Spectrum for awhile.
Any office buildings or businesses or new development nearby?
Well, I’m near the corner of an avenue that is lined with businesses up and down for miles. Nothing “new” though – nothing changes around here.
TBF, it’s directly in front of the pool hall next door. Though I would imagine these things probably service the whole block or something.
Hard to tell because it could be for any number of things, but Verizon is rolling out a higher capacity version of their Fios for wireless infrastructure and business data.
I’m getting it, in the middle of nowhere MT, next spring. Thanks for paying for it, NY & CA!
They stopped just short of my neighborhood – fuckers.
Plug in for the camera aimed at your residence. Hope you have any alibi.
Is there something that looks like this?
No, just a featureless off-white box about 3 feet tall sitting on the sidewalk.
You should go urinate on it and claim it as yours.
Meh, I’m not leaving the house again today. Maybe tomorrow.

HEY YUFUS!
Ive still got a pile of Milwaukee’s Beast Diet to work through.
So Mexican Cobra? I shall try one and report back
Yes, this is something to keep an eye out for. I like the watered down version of Tecate.
It isn’t that bad.
neither is Cobra, so based on your impeccable taste, I shall try one, good writing too ,y’all nuts round heaha
Its better than Cobra. And thank you, we’re constantly striving for crazy.
So are we here for the freak show, or are we the Freaks?
Yes
“1-2-3-fo, racist Trump has got to go.
Since everything is racist now I picked up a White Rascal in my build a six pack this morning. I am not sure if the beer has privilege or not yet. (PS: Great story MS)
That one is good. I haven’t had anything bad from Avery.
Yes, Avery makes good beer. I haven’t had White Rascal but everything else I’ve had from Avery has been good.
Wasn’t there a discussion on here recently about Avery having financial trouble? Overexpanded, I think.
You are correct. It is a good one. Will buy again.
I like the chupacabra angle worked into the story. Chupacabra references are always appreciated. ???♂️
I used to have a Vietnamese engineer working for me who always drank King Cobra. I asked him why he did that, and he replied that he always saw black guys drinking it and that must be the secret to why they had bigger dicks than his.
Now I hear James Earl Jones saying, “This is the BBC”.
Hmmm… he might have mixed up the cause and affect.
Logical
Drink enough of them and you’ll feel like it’s bigger.
Just don’t drink Anaconda Malt Liquor and expect that to help.
We will not ask you how you know this.
True story: our CEO hired the equivalent of Bob and Bob to go through our people and determine who was important and who was superfluous. They asked me, “What would you say that Trac’s role is here?” I responded, “Comedy relief.”

I had Tecate once. I recall it being decent. And I don’t like most Mexican beer I’ve had.
Pacifico or Modelo. Fuck that slice of lime bullshit.
I had a Pacifico Familiar recently, and was pleasantly surprised
Fuck Constellations Brands knock off beer.
Pacífico in a bottle is just about the perfect hot day drinking beer on the planet. Koozie required, except for the first one which will go down in under a minute.
It’s a good beer to enjoy after mowing the lawn. Funky aftertaste, though.
Hmm, I never notice anything like that in California and Mexico. Maybe due to the sled dogs peeing on the cases as it’s brought up to the far north?
This was during my time in that little state down south called Texas. Can’t say I’ve had any up here.
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/42/141/

It’s the only beer I like from a can.

It’s a fun game to play with family and friends. I’ve only played it a few times myself, but am thinking of getting a set.
If you have even minor DIY skills and own (or can borrow) a drill, circular saw, and jig saw, you can make your own set in a weekend. Lot’s of plans on the internet.
And I agree; very fun game to play with loved ones.
The Tecate Platinum reminded me of the Ice beers of the mid to late 90’s. I was overjoyed in my Sr. Year of college when I found a pizza place one block from my house. They had a Med 12” pie and a sixer of Black Label Ice for 10$.
The Black label could be found at <10$ a case, but still a good deal.
Ice beer is still very popular here in Cali, but every cheap malt liquor Company seems to be in the ABV Wars, how cheap for how much bang
I used to drink Molson Ice quite a bit.
Time to up your game: https://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/labatt-maximum-ice/
Don’t think I’ve seen that.
You’re not missing much.
This stuff was probably the worst mass produced beer I’ve ever had: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/molson-carling-black-label-big-10/49297/
My dad used to drink the original Black Label when I was a kid. Not good beer:)
My uncle used to buy the worst beer he could find because he knew my cousins wouldn’t steal it. That’s how you end up drinking Genny Cream Ale.
I had no problem with the Genny cream ale. It was my first drunk.
30 years later I imagine I would get tired of wiping the next day.
Beast bottles* > Beast > Keystone > Natty Ice > Natty Light > Busch > Genny Cream. I learned this while barely graduating college.
*Fun fact: you could make furniture out of the empty cases!

Better Icehouse.
I won’t comment on GnR – “my momma always said…”

“No the Secret Serv–yes the Schutzstaffel.”
I read that as the “Secret Perv”.
Totally could have been.
I read it as “Soft Serv” which also works as a comment for the morning after concerning Black Label above.

Do we have to ban Deliverance too? You know, for “equal time”?
We need to create a secret group of Fabian Libertarians to infiltrate the arts and academe and gradually reset the zeitgeist in our favor. The problem is our artists (SF) and academics (you) scare the normies.

Epstein was not on suicide watch:

So be lenient with him and just hope the problem just works itself out (which, obviously, it did).

I haven’t spent much time in the pool area the past week or so, and god damn if the wasps don’t build a new nest every week. My ass gun grabbers, I do need a flame thrower for personal protection. I chucked the latest construction on the grill after I lit it and only got stung once. TAKE THAT WASPS!!
Can you fog wasps like they do honey bees? Only 1 sting is pretty impressive though.
I have what I think are some carpenter bees inhabiting the shed-portion of the garage I haven’t put to use yet, but they keep to themselves when I’m mowing their territory so it hasn’t come to war yet. Also have what appears to be a thriving population of mud daubers, though only seen the tubes so far and I heard they eat spiders. Never seen a spider bigger than my pinky in the 2yrs living here either so the daubers are a keeper. My apologies to them for when the screen door knocks the bottoms off their tubes sometime next year.
Can you fog wasps like they do honey bees?
Sort of.
A true sharpshooter would break out the 2mm pinfire and take out the wasps sniper style.
Dude, I am not messing around with wasps.
So don’t mess around! Fix bayonets and charge! and yes I am trying to decide if I can justify this purchase.
$689? I don’t think I’m your wife…so go for it.
It’s not the $689. It’s not even that I don’t need it. It is that it is literally a useless gun lol. There is no actual use for this firearm. unless… wait … if Downsizing became reality. This would be ideal for taking out smug miniature climate warriors.
Bees I never mess with, wasps on the other hand get death. As I was relaxing in the pool I noticed another nest the size of a cantaloupe. They are busy this summer. They usually fuck off after the first annual eradication. When I am in a condition to drive I will be heading to town for some spray. It was a light sting but the fucker went for my neck. Hurt for an hour or so but I drank past it.
The Hunt follows 12 red-state strangers who wake up in a clearing and realize that they’re being hunted by liberal elites.
IOW, retarded nonsense. Should be a moneymaker.
Sounds like real life except replace the guns with whiny social media posts.
Eh. City folk being hunted by deranged hillbillies is an entire genre of horror. Flipping the script has the potential to be interesting.
Yeah it sounds funny to me.
Also anyone ever see Tucker and Dale vs Evil? Cute premise. A bunch of snotty college kids think they’re murderous rednecks but they’re super nice.
I hadn’t heard of it until now, but I’m going to watch it.
Plus there’s a wood chipper. Very fun movie.
Yes. That is a horrible and hilarious scene.
Great movie. Watch it.
TAKE THAT WASPS!!
The original Brakleen would knock down a wasp in mid flight. Take the shine right off them. This new crap? They don’t even notice.
Thanks, California!
I’ve found that a good strong stream of WD-40 takes out wasps and their nests very effectively. It’s not instantaneous so plan your escape route accordingly and, for god’s sake, don’t try it with hornets.
Hornet spray is flammable, too. Just saying.
Several people familiar with the investigation told NBC News that Epstein was not under supervision when he killed himself in his cell in a Manhattan federal prison.
Evidently not.

Currently at a nearly-empty trampoline park with the boy and his friends. Right now they’re playing 2v2 full contact “basketball”. It’s glorious. Earlier it was pugil sticks on the battle beam. No thunderdome but this is pretty close. No bar though.

Wanton destruction
We’ve seen this from the start of Trump’s presidency, and it continues. I don’t think there’s any full accounting of all the damage that’s being done, whether it’s attacks on government statistics or the capacity to do science or the well-publicized war against an accurate census.
——
But in the long term, the U.S economy will likely pay dearly for it. Economic management will suffer without reliable statistics. Productivity will suffer without government assistance in innovation (regardless of what ideologues on one side or the other will claim, innovation in the U.S. has always been a product of both public and private initiatives).
And the same thing for U.S. foreign policy, and really everything else.
This is of course not to say that everything the federal government does is worthwhile or running at maximum efficiency. Or that every federal bureaucrat is delivering for the nation. But there’s nothing systematic about any of what’s happening here. No plan. No strategy. No effort to separate the worthwhile from the worthless. It’s just basically random attacks on random pieces of the government. It will take years to recover from. In some ways, perhaps the nation will never recover.
Trump is like a drunk monkey with a flamethrower.
*Hands Brooks styrofoam peanuts*
I learned something new today. Thanks.
The Anarchist Cookbook …http://bnrg.cs.berkeley.edu/~randy/Courses/CS39K.S13/anarchistcookbook2000.pdf
By and large, the President can’t act “systematically” to impose reform on the government because Congress and the courts have claimed that as their prerogative. The government is inefficient and corruptible by default; any attempt to make it more efficient or more accountable has to be done on a case-by-case basis or the courts will look askance at it.
Of course, government efficiency is not inherently a good thing. An efficient government tends to focus on curtailing the rights of the people. But an inefficient government is not inherently a good thing, either. A government that takes forever to issue permits and process paperwork so that people can get on with their lives is not to the benefit of liberty, either.
Literally none of that is happening.
Asking more specific questions is clearly an assault on accuracy.
Hmmmmmm. That sounds like hail.
Ugh. I have to go to a place and do things tonight. I don’t work all week just to put on pants and a shirt with a collar and go to a place and make small talk with assholes I barely even know. This is gonna suck.

Sorry. Gonna have to throw a red flag on that one.
You jest, but if the assault on the first and second amendments continues, this is inevitable.
“But if it can serve even one child’s life, don’t we have an obligation to try?” —Barack Obama
No, “we” don’t. You can raise money for gun safety training or lobby for laws all day, but we have the Constitution. If you don’t have time to read it, the short version is Fuck Off, Slaver.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
The power of the Courts to decide the meaning of the Constitution should have been foreseen and constrained by the Constitution itself. The Court now loves to find the narrowest possible reading of individual liberty and the broadest possible reading of its own authority.
Empire building is a natural impulse, fed by each new bit of power achieved by its wielder.
You know I just don’t want to regret later that I saw the signs and didn’t do anything.
I absolve thee.
Ya know, eventually they will call Climate Deniers crazy or guilty of hate speech.
Chuck Todd has already said they are not allowed on his show. It is settled science after all.
At least they haven’t managed to disarm anyone (yet) for saying we don’t KNOW that climate change is real or maade or even a problem.
But they’d love to pass a “common sense” mental health restriction on gun ownership, and I could see it passing.

So…how many drinks do you have per week?
Yeah, that would end up there.
How about people who post joking memes about hating their ex/wishing them harm?
How about people like Billy Graham’s wife, who when asked if she’d ever considered divorce, quipped “No, but I’ve considered homicide.”
Clearly Mrs Graham was a potentially violent person!
Pfft. Who didn’t want to murder Billy Graham?
It’s not even that much of a stretch.
1. Climate change affects the poor the hardest
2. The global poor are women, people of color, indigenous people, etc.
3. Criticizing the climate change narrative is downplaying their suffering
4. The critics tend not to be among the global poor
5. Hence, there is a privilege imbalance between the critics and the victims
6. Thus, it’s racism, sexism, etc.
They are laying the groundwork.
That’s why it’s so desperately important that we keep the Supreme Court from going full-tilt Left. Congress and the Exec branch don’t give a shit about our rights, and the Supremes are the only ones who can block them from violating the Constitution.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
That ship sailed 100 years ago.
Yeah, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were very different people, but they both expanded government power enormously in the name of Progress.
To me, 1913 is the year the Republic died and the Empire began. 16th and 17th Amendments and the Federal Reserve started it all off.

Over/under on how many type B invasion before they kill somone at the wrong address.

If they go with plan B, how many years will it take for the teams to go and confiscate 10 million assault rifles? Collecting all the guns is going to be even more impossible than rounding up and deporting 10 million unlawful immigrants.
