Sanders has heart stent procedure after chest discomfort
Bernie Sanders experienced chest discomfort during a campaign event Tuesday evening and had two stents inserted to address a blockage in an artery, his campaign announced.
“Sen. Sanders is conversing and in good spirits. He will be resting up over the next few days,” senior adviser Jeff Weaver said in a statement Wednesday. “We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates.”
The Vermont lawmaker has kept up a relentless campaign schedule, particularly during the summer months, and often makes three or four stops a day in different regions. He was scheduled to attend a gun policy forum in Nevada on Wednesday, and then make seven appearances in California on Thursday and Friday.
At 78, Sanders is the oldest candidate in the Democratic field. But he projects vigor belying his age on the trail, and has not been faced with questions regarding his stamina and mental acuity that have plagued former Vice President Joe Biden, who is two years younger.
Chest pains. They’re called chest pains. He almost had a heart attack, you quisling fucks.
Sen. Cory Booker is breathing a sigh of relief as his campaign announces that he raised over $6 million in the third quarter.
The haul represents the most Booker has raised since the start of his campaign for president. His campaign manager, Addisu Demissie, celebrated the fundraising results after Booker declared last week that the campaign would need to raise at least $1.7 million in the final 10 days of the quarter if the candidate was to remain in the race.
“I’m proud to report that our 10 day push raised a total of $2,159,165.34 from more than 46,000 donation,” he said in a memo to supporters on Tuesday. “Because of you, we’ll be able to make critical investments that will allow us to continue growing our campaign in the way we need to compete to win the nomination.”
“Yay,” America says while clapping limply.
Elizabeth Warren’s new remedy for corruption: a tax on lobbying
Elizabeth Warren wants to tax the corporate lobbying she says is breaking the American political system.
Warren, whose presidential campaign has been incrementally releasing a package of anti-corruption proposals, has unveiled a plan to tax corporations and trade organizations that spend a lot of money lobbying Congress and federal agencies.
The proposal would tax groups and companies that spend between $500,000 and $1 million per year on lobbying at a 35 percent rate, increasing the rate for bigger lobbying budgets. Corporations and trade groups that spend more than $1 million per year on lobbying would get hit with a 60 percent tax rate, and those spending more than $5 million would see a 75 percent tax rate.
These brackets would hit the pocketbooks of big pharmaceutical and health insurance companies, the real estate industry, fossil fuel companies, Wall Street firms, and electric utilities the hardest. They do not apply to charitable or social welfare organizations that also lobby the government, such as 501(c)3 and 501(c)4 nonprofit groups, but do apply to trade and professional associations, 501(c)6 groups.
It’s surprising how many of the Dem candidates really only have one idea. Warren will tax our way to utopia, Sanders will grumpy unmutalism, Yang has his pie-in-the-eye UBI panacea, Biden has “I was Barack’s VP. [flashes blacklight white fake teeth]”, and Harris, well Harris… she’s never met a problem that can’t be solved with a fake AAVE accent and a lengthy prison term.
Kamala Harris Is Trying to Get President Trump Kicked Off Twitter
Kamala Harris is trying to get President Trump and his sausage fingers kicked off Twitter. On Tuesday, the senator and Democratic presidential candidate wrote a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, stating that she believes Trump violated Twitter’s user agreement regarding targeted harassment and inciting violence against a group or individual.
“In recent days, President Trump published the following tweets from his Twitter account to target, harass, and attempt to out the whistleblower who set forth credible allegations that the President has abused his power by urging a foreign government to investigate a domestic political rival,” Harris wrote. She also cited Trump’s tweets targeting House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and his tweet mulling the hypothetical “Civil War” that would ensue over his potential impeachment.

The Dem field is one of the most entertaining circle-jerks I’ve ever seen.
But in the CJ there is some mutualism; here everyone is out to get everyone else. In the CJ there is one loser and many winners; here there can be only one winner.
And 330 million losers.

I question how healthy it can be for an old man to be hunched over and shouting all day long.
Over/under on how long until he drops out? I’m giving him until Columbus Day.
Racist…….
Indigenous Peoples Day has a sad.
Cardi B’s birthday is the 11th.
I think that the Bern is in it until the end. His ‘vigor’ comes from the commie demon that has inhabited his soul. Those people drop dead still trying to convert the world to communism.

Bernie may be only 2 years older than Biden, but he looks 20 years older, at least. Dude is starting to look like the angry white haired version of commie Yoda.
I dunno. Biden looks like his teeth and one eye will fall out if he’s jarred too much.
I’m pretty sick of the mocking the health problems of an esteemed senator. Y’all can fuck off. Sorry but I’m out.
Sad meme is sad…….
Christ, is that a meme now?
I didnt quite get it. I didnt think the brunt of the criticism or mocking was of Thunberg herself but of the shitbags pulling her strings…amounting to child abuse. I like the guy and sure hate to see him go, but that seemed a bit of an over-reaction. I hope he comes back. We obviously hit a nerve we didnt know was there.
I hope he comes back too.
Me too.
Me three.
Keep up the good fight.
I believe he has an autistic (to some degree) son and I would presume got a nerve touched, which I can understand.
I have a son with Asperger’s that just moved out on his own at 28. My reaction was a bit different than LH.
What happened?
Lord H and EF stormed off over HM mocking Thunberg.
Doubly bad, then.
Lord H flounced EF just left.
“Lord H”
That’s too bad, he’s a good poster, IMHO.
Somebody who has been with us for a very long time, and I believe one of TPTB, left abruptly after the taunting of Thunberg as a probable autist here.
Slight quibble, she has a diagnosis, so confirmed rather than probable. Whether that makes it better or worse is up for interpretation.
Ah, didn’t know that. But it is tangential to the issue at hand.
Of course, thus labeling it a slight quibble. I’ve just seen several people make that mistake both here and in meatspace, and thought a correction for clarity on that point to be pertinent. The overall point and story remain unchanged.
The thing about it is, you have to have pretty thick skin to stay around here. If you are going to let being a little offended or disagreement cause you to run off, it’s eventually going to happen. Hat Tip to all our (non-existant) female glibs for hanging with us glibs. If you’re a guy, man up and get over it.
No such thing as a female libertarian.
Yeah. Mo is a tranny.
More bang for the buck.
Most women – my fellow Glibbroads being a refreshing exception – get on my nerves. I think I was in college when I decided I largely preferred hanging out with guys. It’s hard – though not impossible – to offend me (::SIGH!!:: Glibboys take that as a challenge in 3…2…1…) especially since I’ve been hanging around with a fair number of male rock & roll-ish musicians for more than twenty years.
(Q: What do you call a person who hangs around with musicians?
A: A drummer.)
Q: What do you do when a drummer comes to your door?
A: Pay for the pizza and close the door.
Q: How can you tell when there’s a drummer at your front door?
A: The knock speeds up…then slows down…then speeds up…
In another lifetime i was in a fusion band. I played with that drummer.
We had a full house at a local pub one night. Our cut was $300 plus the cover.
We had a replacement drummer and a new bassist. The bassist was a Japanese dude who barely spoke english, couldn’t read music, played a fretless bass and had perfect pitch.
The drummer just couldn’t keep time. I fought like hell from my lead trumpet position to keep everyone with the trombonist band leader…. but it was a losing battle. The drummer was just too inconsistent.
People actually started getting up to leave. The only time that ever happened to me. Ouch!
So we took a break to regroup and figure it out. The leader turned the new bassist loose to do a solo while the rest of us discussed things….. He proceeded to play this avant-guarde atonal free jazz solo. It was amazing, if you are into that sort of thing. Which I’m sure at least two or three dozen people are… worldwide.
He chased a bunch more people away.
We told the drummer to sit the rest of the evening out and continued without a drummer.
It was a lot better… but we turned down the cover fee…. it really isn’t the job of the band to chase customers away!
So, yeah…. that joke speaks to me. Even though that was some time in 1988 or so…..
Oh, Lordy – that’s brutal. Hope that bass player could at least keep time after you put the drummer in time out.
Q: How can you tell when there’s a chick singer at your front door?
A: She can’t find the key and doesn’t know when to come in.
Q: What’s the difference between a guitar player and a large pizza?
A: A large pizza can feed a family of four.
Danke. I am here all ze veek.
A lead singer locked his keys in the car. It took him 2 hours to get the drummer out.
Ba-dum KEESH!
What do you call a drummer with no girlfriend?
Homeless
#metoo
That being said, I’m not sure where the issue got escalated to the point of a meltdown. I don’t really know where to insert my comments on this, but here seems good because…We obviously hit a nerve we didnt know was there.
That’s easy to do. I have an autistic son myself. My wife and I have had many sleepless nights worrying about his future. Where is he going to be in 5, 10, 15 years? When I see the Greta girl, I have little sympathy, but my wife screams, “Child Abuse!” I do not get it, because my son has no, “Rhheeeeee!” in him. Maybe she is being coerced, but I see a something different. I see something ugly (inside), something vile. Make no mistake (to be sure), the parents need a full-on ass-kicking. But this little girl, like AOC and Ms. Romano and Kamala and Beto, are deep down, nothing but evil. Don’t tell me it’s just the adults around her. The kid would kill for more attention.
I say this because my my family had a really bad day yesterday, and I got to see my son in his full autistic glory. Nothing horrible, but just hard to understand. My old family dog (17 years) had to be put down yesterday. She was suffering, and I called my wife to the vet. My wife brought my son with her. My wife then called my daughter, who bailed from work and rolled in like Niagara falls. I was keeping my composure quite well until then.
My son was visibly distraught, but I couldn’t tell if he just wanted to leave and not deal with it, or if he didn’t care all that much. Could I coerce him into doing shit that was bad? I don’t think so. He has questioned me more than once about my choices. He knows right from wrong, and is willing to accept new opinions.
I asked him pointedly when we left, “Aren’t you sad?!” He yelled, “Yes I’m sad!” And I realized, this is new for him; feeling a loss.
My point? Greta might be on the spectrum. Sure, but she a also might just be a damned psycho. No free passes until I am proved wrong.
Sorry for the ramble.
“but my wife screams, “Child Abuse!”
It is. Not by you or anyone here. By her parents.
Thanks for the insight. It’s interesting to see how autism affects different kids (yeah, I know, that’s why they call it a spectrum).
Very sorry about your pup, man. Always fucking brutal.
Thanks, man.
You know what else is brutal? I live in a ginormous traffic choked city, in a first-world country, that doesn’t have an NHL team! Oh wait, I think I’ve already ranted about this. Hmm, shall I get NHL.tv, or not? Who should I root for? *sigh* I just don’t know.
That incident was just plain sad all around. Just let it go, Leon.
Too much pain. Just walk away?
Just walk away?
What you did there – I see it.
I am sad to learn about Lord H & EF. I hope they return.

There’s a Mandy Patinkin meme that goes with this.

I had chest pains once, turns out I was just hungry…
Ahh so you were experiencing socialism related health effects.
*golf clap*
Turns out it was a nightmare about living in Ukraine in 1932……….
I have had them too. I just ignored them. They went away. What the hell, I am mid-fifties and a 35 year smoker….no worries.
You had a good run.
My heart turned out fine, seriously, and your stats as well, so, enjoy that Cigar/cigarette!
Same stats here. Spent 2 days in the hospital with blood clots in my lungs a couple weeks ago, but the Xaralto seems to be doing the trick(I have a genetic condition that predisposes me to clotting). I am also one of those people that only goes to the Dr. when I know something isn’t right, so the last doctor I saw that told me not to worry about thinners until I experienced some kind of trauma almost got me offed.
“I have had them too. I just ignored them.”
It’s probably gas. Seriously. I had to take my grandpa to the emergency room like 3 times for chest pains. He was convinced he was having a heart attack. Diagnosis all 3 times, gas, take this here pills.
It’s probably gas. Seriously.
This.
Me: “My chest hurts sometimes”
My primary: “Were you drinking the night before?”
Me: “Yes, bu…”
My primary: “It’s gas.”
Ne: “But I.”
My primary: “It’s gas. If it’s correlated with drinking the night before, it’s gas.”
Years later I had non-boozing-correlated chest pains, ended up in a full sprint on a treadmill while covered with leads – “it’s probably gas.”
I had real heart problems, but I’ve never had heart paints and my arteries are 100% clear. Problem was my heart rate and blood pressure were so high I was going into heart failure. 60 lbs lighter and daily exercise, better diet, I’m completely fine.
Out the whistleblower who is going to testify in front of Congress?
Wearing a paper bag and with his voice modulated.

That is never going to happen, because the person either doesn’t exist or was using a script written by the DNC and/or NYTs.
Out the whistleblower who is going to testify in front of Congress?
I don’t see how the Senate can hold an impeachment trial based on his statement without him.
Lobbying is simply exercising the natural right mentioned in the 1A of petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.
Big Senator Warren want scalps.
How?
Ugh.
It is sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues.
Have your heard that Chief Zuckerberger Alienface of the Technobabble Tribe and Chief Liawatha are making war?
Technobabble Tribe would be a great band name.
Maybe for a weekend group of coders playing covers.
Yeah.i would expect Citizen United level anguish when a judge strikes that down.
I can only imagine the tantrum when a Gorsuch/Kavanaugh SCOTUS strikes that shiznat down.
“It was old man Comey the whole time!”
Dammit! Was supposed to be above.
But corporations aren’t people. -sjw
Then neither are unions.
Maybe, just maybe, if the political class didn’t have control over every fucking part of our lives and livelihoods, the lobbying wouldn’t be as necessary.
Money follows power, not the other way around.
Warren know that perfectly well, which is why she’s instead proposing new rules for the rest of us.
And that’s precisely what she wants to stop. Because she doesn’t want anyone to be able to organize against her agenda. She wants to be able to impose her will with the opposition muzzled. Of all the Democrats running this time around, I find Warren the most tyrannical piece of shit.
I’ve been saying this since 2012! She is undistilled evil.
Insty’s revolving door surtax would have a _much_ bigger impact – but that’d piss off her fellow leeches.
Lobbying is simply exercising the natural right mentioned in the 1A of petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.
True, but lobbying professionally is already heavily regulated (stop laughing, on paper it is). I don’t think a tax in lobbying income would have any trouble getting through a Constitutional challenge.
Cory Booker raises over $6 million in the third quarter after threatening to drop out of the 2020 race
6 million pesos isn’t going to go very far. Or has he returned to speaking English?
Do you even lift bro?
I lift in the mornings, before breakfast, so when I come home I like to put together a hot breakfast with plenty of protein and carbs:
half a cup of plain rolled oats
one packet of maple brown sugar flavored oatmeal
half a cup of fruit, usually frozen raspberries
one cup of whole milk
…all combined in an extra-large coffee mug and microwaved on half power for five minutes (to avoid splashing)
The guardian isn’t the only one with a hack fitness writer.
Im not a dietitian…..thats a a lot of carbs
“Looks about right.”
/dietitian
Half of that stuff is fiber, so it’s not that many calories. The brown sugar is probably the only calorie dense stuff going on there, and the whole milk. I use Almond milk, 30 cals per serving. /not dietitian, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express and lost 60 lbs.

Near as I can tell, the only protein is coming from the milk, which would be 8 or 9 grams. Not what I would consider plenty of protein. A single egg has 7 grams.

That’ll change once they look up the corporate structure of the NRA and realize they won’t be getting taxed.
That would require inventing a plausible loophole for all the pubsec unions.
Nah, just a new corporate structure needs to be created specifically to shield unions from the tax. Congress doesn’t need to find a loophole, they can just create it.
I’d imagine they’d ram through a special exemption for the NRA, what with them being a terrorist organization and all.
Nice bill of attainder you have there. Shame if something should happen to it.

Non-sequitur: The greatest Joker ever was CESAR ROMERO.
You misspelled his name. It’s Mark Hamill.
OK, I’m sure now. He’s a troll.
Is SugarFree a troll? 3:18 pm today: “The way the Joker is written now, Hamill comes closest in Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker.”
Is Pan Zagloba a troll? 3:25 pm today: “Hamill/Conroy are so far ahead of the field it’s not even fair.”
“Conroy” is Kevin Conroy as Batman
I think he was a great representation of the character at that time. The way the Joker is written now, Hamill comes closest in Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker.
The problem with even the slightest goofiness in the Joker is that it misses the fact that nothing he ever does is funny to anyone but himself.
I found the “but first, a magic trick scene” to be hilarious. Hey, why is everyone looking at me like that?
I liked Ledger’s Joker quite a bit, even if the character as presented was founded on a blatant lie. (“Do I look like a guy that plans anything?”)
It was a more anarchic take on the character, which I liked but it wasn’t the psychotic loon, the dark reflection of Batman, aspect that I think makes the character so interesting.
Authoritarianism is the opposite of anarchy, and Batman is as much a rule-breaker as the Joker in that sense. And the bad taste that “anarchy” means “I can murder anyone I want” leaves in my mouth.
‘The same side of the same coin’ psychological aspect of Joker-Bat-Man is one of the best in all of pop culture.
This is why Superman generally sucks as a story-telling vehicle. He has no counterpart. He’s impeccable, indestructible, and utterly boring.
The only way he’s made interesting is thru the addition of Lois Lane and mild humor as portrayed by Reeves.
Well, he is Super.
Like me!
‘The same side of the same coin’ psychological aspect of Joker-Bat-Man is one of the best in all of pop culture.
It was the theme of the ‘Lego Batman’ movie, that the two needed each other so much they were practically lovers.
I would like to see him ACT the Joker not voice him. It would be interesting.
Umm… I’ve seen him act. It was not very good.
His best dramatic role
Here you go.
That’s a lot of laughing.
Whatever. He has TDS.
Fuck yes, Hamill/Conroy are so far ahead of the field it’s not even fair.
Agreed! @ Rufus!
You would think Jack Nicholson would have been great. But I have to say his portrayal left me a bit cold. I can’t quite figure out why.
For one thing. the writing sucked.
Nicholson brought the underlying menace and insanity to the role, but he was trapped in Burton’s Hot Topic version of Gotham. It was a dark remake of the TV show rather than an adaptation of the last 15 years or so of development of the character under Neal Adams and others.
Exactly. It achieved neither gravitas nor humor.
And poor Kim Basinger. “OK, in this scene, you just look frightened and scream. And in the next one. And the next one. And the next one….”
Batman Returns on the other hand had the most ridiculous villain be actually threatening. And had Michelle Pfeiffer licking herself.
This is true.
Nicholson was 30 years ago.
30 years ago, this Batman was a great adaption. Now, it pales in comparison.
True. Teenage me thought it was ok. I rewatched it recently with the kids and was incredibly underwhelmed.
Meanwhile, the original TV series still holds up great.

Maybe he should sit this one out.
Did Sanders go to the VA Hospital so he could get the best possible care?
Seeing as how the procedure is already done, I’m going to say no. Had he been put on a list and had to wait 4 months, I’d have
moresome respect for him.Don’t you need to be a veteran? I see Bernie as a vet alright, Commie vet……
He fought in the Cold War, for the other side.
Yes, the VA only treats veterans.
Basically my first thought. Though he would of course be exempt from any plan inflicted on the little people anyway.

Minarchism is rated as an invalid term by spellcheck. Maybe some of those people on that subreddit are victims of auto-correct? *Ignoring reality is the only way to stay sane.*
I don’t see how oligarchy is much better than monarchy.
At least with monarchy you know who to blame. When Austria lost WWI the Hapsburgs lost everything. When the US lost Vietnam, Henry Kissinger and McNamara were praised as true statesmen.
Chomskey once said that a self-assured technocrat is infinitely more dangerous than a man who earns his position due to birth.
Apropos
Neo-monarchists always imagine themselves as neo-courtiers. They never seem interested in being neo-serfs.
And people who criticize neo-monarchists seem to believe oligarchy is a more fair system when its fluffed with sexy words like “democracy” and “the liberal order”
But the Rawlsian concept of the “veil of ignorance” still stands. Would a neo-monarchist be so keen to advocate for a such a society if they had know knowledge of where they would ultimately stand in this society? Not that I advocate for oligarchy, but if it’s mono- vs. oligo-, with the latter the chance one would be of the elite is slightly higher than the former.
That having been said. I said kill them all. No Gods or Kings, Only Man.
Citing Rawls to bolster your point is….uh….interesting, to say the least.
Say what you will about monarchies, but, as has been pointed out by Chomsky and Hoppe, among others, is that you already are a serf and you live under an oligarchy. And at least with a monarchy you have someone to blame. In the technocratic dystopia that the West has invented there are no free people, beyond that which is granted by government, and even more intrusive government than ever existed under the era of kings.
I still don’t get how throwing one’s hands up and saying “Fine, I give up” helps the situation. Why not advocate for radical individualist anarchism instead?
I’m not knocking that. Although, I am more partial to minarchism, because I live a comfortable life and I am a sellout. I’m only knocking the status quo conclusion that this is better than the forms of government that preceded it. At best, I think it’s about equal.
This. Just like everyone who went through “past life therapy” was a king or queen or whatever.
Not me Jack.
Are you saying I wasn’t?
Well that sucks.
And everyone who opposes monarchies imagines that they are not serfs now. It’s rather hilarious.
Have I only ever been just ‘Thicc Thursday Guy’ to you?
I’m thinking of a divorce!
It’s not that I’m defending the idea of monarchy. It’s more so that I’m mocking the concept that somehow our current states are better. Even though it was these system of governments that introduced notions such as “the draft” and regulating speech and thought in a far more aggressive manner that would make even the Bourbons blush.
The myth of the “Dark Ages” persists, but at least the yoke of monarchs was easy to dispense with. This is not true for ousting our current political elites.
“Liberalism” is better than kings. But, “liberalism” is dead. It died by a thousand double standards and incremental increases in state authority since the 1700’s.

” no one should fear going bankrupt”
Good comrades don’t fear it, they’ve already accepted bankruptcy as their duty to the state and its elites.
“no one should fear going bankrupt if it occurs. ”
Going bankrupt because you don’t have the assets to pay for some incredibly complex and expensive medical care that saves your life is actually one of the more acceptable reasons for having bankruptcy protection laws. Filing because you can’t pay those credit card bills rung up at Neimann and Ruth’s Chris and Cancun is the problem.

In Preparation For Impeachment Inquiry, Trump Burns All Evidence He Was Ever President
President Trump is taking no chances with an impeachment inquiry looming, as he was recently seen destroying all evidence he is the current president of the United States.
“To impeach the president, they first have to prove you’re president,” advised Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. “If they can’t do that, you get off scot-free!”
“Brilliant!” Trump responded, throwing MAGA hats into the White House fireplace. He then burned the official certificate marking him as the 45th president of the United States. He also deleted his Twitter account and burned all his phones.
The strategy may be working, as in the confusion, police ended up grabbing the popular vote winner of 2016, Hillary Clinton, and dragging her off to be impeached while Trump stood by, yelling, “Lock her up!”
There are some worries that Trump could now be charged with obstruction of justice, but Giuliani has a strategy for that as well. “You can’t be charged with obstruction of justice if they can’t prove there’s any justice to obstruct.” Trump was last seen burning all evidence justice exists in the U.S.
Left Fantasy. After Trump leaves office they want him memory holed.
Trump will be the last serious, fair-minded Republican when the next Republican takes the presidency.
many of the participants in the subreddit seemed to be “from fairly developed western countries where the notion of monarchism wrapped largely in warm historical overtones”.

The Constitution Party is one of only eight recognized by the United States’ Federal Election Commission as a “national political party.” It is only about two and a half weeks until their national gathering. The four major candidates for the parties’ nomination for president for November 2020 are (in reverse alphabetical order by last name, not as a comment on their relative chances):
Arthur Van Houten, Colt Hample, Don Grundmann, and Rachel Davis
All four are running on platforms that seem as though they have not been issued the special glasses politicians and judges must get to see the invisible ink in the Constitution of the United States of America.
Arthur Van Houten
Is he related to Carice Van Houten? Because if he is, he’s got my vote.
Carice Van Houten is Dutch.
You got a problem with hot Dutch women who drop their clothes a lot?
natural born 35 14
How about Milhouse Van Houten?
Might as well. Ralph already ran in 2008. The episode title is “E. Pluribus Wiggum”
I don’t know about the current platform, but every other election the Constitution party has had unconstitutional things on their platform, like the war on drugs and such.
The 2016 platform indicates they think it’s a state issue, not federal.
Unconstitutional and un-libertarian are not the same.
The 2016 platform called for legalizing at the federal level and making it optional to the states to make them illegal or not under state law. If you think that is “unconstitutional”, please cite the numbers for the Article, Section, Subsection or Paragraph, and Clause that this position violates.
like the war on drugs and such.
I do not recall every election cycles’ specifics. And I was using that as an example not as a singular instance. But, this hardly reads to me as stopping the war on drugs at the federal level:
If something isn’t illegal on a federal level, what gives the feds the power stop the flow of illegal drugs? If it’s legal in 49 states and illegal in one? Or the reverse? It just sounds like weasel words to me.
Weasel words or incoherence?
These people are not our friends. They give lip service to individual rights, but are ultimately cranky statists for whom the GOP is unacceptable.
So then those who want to nationalize perceived social ills rather than allowing local communities to decide are our friends?
I’m always confused on when something is best left to local communities to decide and when it is best that something be nationalized.
Some libertarians say marriage, abortion, and public bathroom rules should be nationalized. How much longer before they say “the right to a job” should be nationalized? They wouldn’t do that? I use to believe the same thing on marriage, but the mantra went from “get the government out of marriage” to “get the federal government firmly entrenched in marriage”.
Seems better to have people who at least say “well, whatever is explicitly written in this document should be the purview of the federal government and everything else is up to the states and localities”. The alternative, will, without a doubt, lead to a nationalized right to “housing”, a “job”, and just about anything else people will imagine.
“We support legislation to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the United States from foreign sources.”
Not weasel words. They’re just plain the wrong words. “Illegal drugs” are the wrong words.
These folks are SOCONS disgruntled with the GOP, like Tonio said.
Well, naturally, we can’t allow people to have different values and govern themselves differently. Freedom is about values being pushed on you from a large centralized authority.
And that large centralized authority would never be used against you and your values, because your values are objectively correct.
This means legislating large centralized authority. It’s not a statement about preferences for individual states.
Yes, but that is the existing status quo. Allowing states the freedom to decide for themselves and citing the 10th Amendment is the radical proposal and really the only correct way to resolve the question
They cite the 10th, but the words after make that so much as lip service.
Again, if the feds are declaring which drugs are illegal, they are not leaving the issue to the states.
Also, their phrasing says they “uphold the right of states and localities to restrict access to drugs and to enforce such restrictions.” No mention of states un-restricting access to certain things, could be poor phrasing or like I said, weasel words.
Compared with Libertarian 2016 US VP nominee Bill Weld who is running for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination?
AFAIK, the platform for this election cycle is scheduled to be voted on at the national gathering that starts more than two less than three weeks away (18th?)

Study Finds Avoiding Red Meat May Lead To Longer, More Miserable Life
Careful research showed that those who spent every waking moment trying to avoid the temptation to bite into a delicious bone-in ribeye could gain a few months of life, but they would pretty much hate those extra months of life, as well as the rest of their life, because they weren’t eating red meat.
One man in the study, John Alpers, died at the ripe old age of 80 after avoiding red meat his entire life. His last words were, “Life is awful.”
Another man in the control group, Lyle Manning, died at the age of 79 while eating a plate of bacon. His last words were, “I’ve lived a full life, and now I’m ready to go to the eternal meat-filled potluck in the sky.”
Experts are recommending that if you want to live a melancholy existence full of existential dread and unfulfillment, go ahead and avoid red meat so you can go on existing a little bit longer.
They never miss, do they?
I laugh out loud at every single Babylon Bee article, and I was reared on Mad and the early, brilliant National Lampoon.

The neighbor was not home at the time. Pleading no contest to the charge of firing into the house, she received three years’ felony probation on October 20, 2000. She was also ordered to receive psychiatric counseling and pay restitution as ordered by the probation department.[6]
On October 27, 2000, she was sentenced to 120 days in jail after pleading “no contest” to charges stemming from an August 20, 2000, arrest for hitting a man with her cane.[7] She was given credit for the 98 days that she had already spent in jail awaiting sentencing, thus avoiding having to spend any more time in jail.[8]”

Top kek
Pffft, what are you, a DOCTOR?!
No, but I’m pretty sure if he needed stents, it wasn’t angina.
What did you say about his mangina?
Angina is caused by a lack of oxygen to the heart. Clogged arteries would cause a lack of oxygen to the heart, henceforth, angina pectoris.
See? This guy is a fellow intellectual!
I’ve treated a lot of angina.
There’s a great old Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers cartoon where one of the characters (IIRC Freewheelin’ Franklin) is trying to buy 1,000 amyl nitrate ampules at a pharmacy (he wants to bring them as ‘party favors’ for a drug dealers’ convention). The pharmacist asks what he needs all of those for, and Franklin grabs the guy and shouts “I’ve got one FUCK of case of ANGINA PECTORIS!”
LOL!
Yup, it was Franklin. He gets stomped by some “good ol’ boys” which breaks the amyl, which he inhales. Brief surge of rage and strength. Final line something like “…meanest hippy you ever picked.”
“Angina is caused by a lack of oxygen to the heart. ”
So is myocardial infarction.
Myocardial infarction involves actual muscle damage. Angina is a warning sign before damage occurs. There’s no report that Bernie suffered muscle damage.
Well, we can argue all day whether angina is a symptom or a diagnosis (I’d say it’s both). But unscheduled stents as first-line for angina? I’m not buying it.
It’s a bad case of mangina.

The ADL appears to oppose anything that a random selection of five internet retards decide is a symbol.
This one is just retarded.

If the ADL is now designating 311, a pretty standard phone number for non-emergency government services, as a hate symbol, maybe they’ve become a sort of a joke. Or have the sneaky Kochs fooled them into thinking government services are a hate activity.

I guess RACIST was the color of their energy all along, tsk tsk.

How is this real life?

I thought “13” means you sell weed?
so 42 is OK?
It better be.
Truly we live in stupid times.

Hate
It is common for white supremacists to deny being racists or to claim to that the groups to which they belong are not hate groups, but in fact the word “hate” itself is commonly used as a white supremacist symbol for tattoos and clothing. Many white supremacists use the word to openly proclaim their hatred of people unlike them.

I could go up to the local hospital and find twenty women who sacrifice more of their time and money to help ill children and such. The Royal Twits fly,dine and dress on someone else’s dime and are treated like they are compassionate heroes or something. Let Charles, Wills, Harry and their wives and kids learn to code and get real jobs. Harry can fly a helicopter and do London traffic reports if he wants to be useful.
Imagine being a true volunteer making a difference and being lectured by….FRICKEN MARKLE. Heck, anyone really.
/fist in mouth.
Far be it for me to defend the pretenders that sit on King James’ throne, but at least the nobles have a tradition in serving in the conflicts that their country engages in, regardless of how reckless. We haven’t had a president that served in the military since Bush senior. Still an unbroken chain of warmongers, though
I believe Harry flew combat missions in Afghanistan (or reportedly has?)……if so he doesn’t seem any wiser for it unfortunately.
I believe he did a tour in Iraq as an infantry officer and then went to A-stan as a helo pilot. Which is why I was disposed to think well of the young fella, despite my healthy American dislike of the idea of royalty, until he fell victim to the woke succubus.
Both Willy and Harry served, I believe. As did their father and I think their uncle who totally didn’t sleep with young girls provided by Epstein, but most likely did sleep with young girls provided by Epstein
Willie is a helo pilot as well, but never deployed to a war zone if I’m not mistaken. Harry going to war was a bit controversial, and his second tour was cut short when the press publicized where he was stationed, which led to concern that the Taliban would try to capture him.
Also, and I know this may inflame your Royal sensibilities, but fuck the Stuarts too:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_Time
They oversaw one of the most brutal periods of religious oppression of the reformation. They more than earned their extinction.
Imagine believing that the Stuarts were the ones who imposed religious persecution and not that they were overthrown because King James was too accommodating of religious dissenters
“The Stuart regime, worried about the possibility of disorder and rebellion and resentful of the Covenanters’ having made their fighting for Charles II during the civil wars conditional upon the maintenance of Scottish Presbyterianism, attempted to stamp this movement out, with varying degrees of success.[11] Fines were levied upon those who failed to attend the parish churches of the “King’s curates”, the death penalty was imposed for preaching at field conventicles, and torture of suspects using inventive punishments such as hanging people by the thumbs or using the boot or thumbscrews became a tactic of first resort.[12] In 1678, some 3,000 Lowland militia and 6,000 Highlanders (the ‘Highland Host’) were billeted in the Covenanting shires and plundered their unwilling hosts.”
Super duper accommodating
If you want to debate the Glorious Revolution, I’m game. But, not now and not on this thread.
What’s amazing is that I saw a couple of weeks ago that National Review had two writers argue about the Glorious Revolution.

I don’t read NR very often but I assumed they had a few descent articles when they aren’t busy clamoring for more war.
Yes, the problem with the royal family is this girl who married in, not that a royal family exists in the first place.

*after Franco*
I should say
Get a load of the royal apologist over here.
That was brutal. And deserved.
Someone’s got to sit these imbeciles down and explain the facts of life to them.
I’m a republican, and so don’t much like the idea of monarchy. But, I get how it works. And Harry and Markle are fucking up in a big way. The monarchy is supposed to be above politics. That isn’t just some minor breach of etiquette. It’s kind of central to the whole act. They aren’t politicians elected to fulfill the wishes of constituency. They’re there to represent the whole country. They’re supposed to be aspirational to the entirety of the body politic. It’s not supposed to matter if you’re Labor or Tory, white or black or brown. The monarchy is supposed to be that national unifying presence.
The whole woke gimmick is the exact opposite of that role. Woke is about drawing a line to differentiate yourself from “those people”. It’s about setting yourself as enlightened and the unwashed masses as unfit for the glory that is you. That doesn’t work for a king or queen. Elizabeth gets that. So does William. You’ll note that neither of them comment on politics in any way but obliquely. They understand their role.
Markle and Harry are doing a great service by exposing the shallowness of their woke faith.
Clearly, we’ve all noticed that it is always the wealthiest who lecture others about privilege
Markle and Harry are doing a great service by exposing the shallowness of their woke faith.
True. But, they’re not much serving the monarchy they’re supposed to represent. And, if you’re lucky enough to actually be part of that, you should probably have a little more humility.
Good grief. Y’all just spent a lot of words, time and effort on people that do not matter one whit.
I don’t even know who the fuck they are. They are the kids of that useless moron Charles, right? They are skipping over him, aren’t they?Doesnt he have a younger brother? What is he, chopped liver?
Succession continues down a single line until it runs out. The only way Charles Philip Arthur George’s sibs are in line is if Charlie P.A.G. dies without any heirs of his own.

“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, “In this world, Elwood, you must be” – she always called me Elwood – “In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.” Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me. ”
I’d like some version of this.
How the dickens do you 4 door pickup guys drive these things? What a pain in the tush!
Short bed.
You’re never gonna pass yourself off as a yokel with that attitude.
No shit. It’s an XLT with a company policy to back in to all parking spaces. wtf
I found backing in to be much easier than pulling in forward. At this point, I’m thinking “whiny pussy”. 😛
You’re not wrong – there’s a reason I’m not bitching to coworkers.
I fucking hate people who do that, learn to park asshole! get out of my way, I’ll show you how it’s done!
/rant off
Truth.
This from a guy that used to drive a Kia.
Idk, it’s about the same as an extra cab.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib tells Detroit police chief to hire only black analysts to run facial recognition software because ‘non African Americans think all African Americans looks the same’ – but he refuses
I like that she exists. Also, she’s right.
She’s right on the idea that facial recognition is bullshit. Not so much her anecdotal suggestion that would be considered racist if said by anyone else
She’s not opposed to using the technology. She’s just wants it focused on someone else.
African Americans. Really, now many of those do we have? A few thousand, mostly from Nigeria…?
I am hearing from Houstonites that they have a bunch of Eritrians over there that are giving them fits.
Islamophobia?, excuse me? I’m not afraid of Muslims, but that’s what they want to think,
Words mean things is my point Suthen….
I’m afraid of homos, sadly. They keep putting their penises in my mouth.
On the one hand, Tlaib is a piece of shit.
On the other hand, Real Time Crime Centers are some creepy-ass totalitarian bullshit that have no place in a free society.
At some point we are going to have to stop using that line. Free society. Free country.
Secret courts. Universal surveillance. Patriot act….I could go on all day about the things that do not exist in a free society.
I say we have to stop using it when our first domestic drone kill happens.
Well yeah.
Wine, cheese and Scotch whisky hit with US tariffs
Good news for you bourbon lovers, bad news for those of us with a taste for classy liquor
I’ve got a wine cellar full of classy liquor from Europe. And bourbon, and rye suit me just fine.
bourbon, and rye suit me just fine
Amen.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuccccck……
Beemster cheese is awesome, and Dutch. No tariff.
And I’m fine drinking bourbon instead of scotch. Allows my gun budget to be higher.
#winningsohardithurts
What is the logic behind this specific set of items?
AFAICT, it’s items that we claim are subsidized by the respective governments.
Like the tariffs they want to impose on Boeing and who knows what else.
25% on Scotch? AYFKM!?!

Simultaneously glad I’m home alone so I don’t have to explain this and sad that I don’t get to share it.
Thank goodness women don’t do that.

Too soon?
That’s mildly disturbing.
Ok, that’s a bridge too far HM…really? Making fun of lizard people? Have you no humani….I mean Lizmanity…Lizardity…uh….you know what I mean.
Fuck Google. Evidently there was a hilarious video someone made with a near perfect voice over of her saying Samuel L Jackson’s “Do I look like a bitch?” speech. The fucking technocrats made sure it either got taken down or buried so far down in search results as to make it impossible to find.
Do you take a bathysphere to explore the depths of Youtube or just scrape at the barnacle scuzz on the sides of ships as they hove into port?
Bitch know tailgate.
That reminds me. They had to shut down Mudfest day before yesterday. Every year during muddiest the medflight helicopter flies over my house a few times. Day before yesterday no helicopter. They just sent a crew with a bag.
In case you are unfamiliar with my neighbors

There are a bunch of videos. A mile or so as the crow flies there is an oxbow that has been transformed into a party ground. Every year three or four times they gather to splash around in a mud puddle drunk. Every time people get hurt. This time someone got killed.
A fella asked me once if since I live so close I had ever been. I said “nope, never been.”
“Ya ever see a bunch of rednecks get drunk and have fist fights?”
Me – “Yes, more than a few times.”
“Well then, you aint missin’ nuthin’ “
I think we can all agree that a McConaughey/Hugh Grant/Charlie Hunam/Asians (they all look alike, too) gangster film is just what we needed.
We needed something to feed.
Just what we needed.
We needed something to bleed.
