Despite what The Cure may tell you, it is Friday that always comes too late. I’m done with this week. Been done for a while. So done. Time to crack open the office bottle and work my way through that until I can call it the weekend. I took my wife out to dinner last night because my mother is a saint and offered to watch the kids for a night. We ended up going all two miles down to the beach, where we had a nice dinner next to eight stereotypical Alabamans. How stereotypical? They shouted, “Roll Tide!” before doing a round of shots. I’m sure there are a lot of nice people in Alabama.
Florida Man had a rough day yesterday when his GTA LARP was interrupted by police.
Dubois was charged with two counts of Grand Theft Motor Vehicle, one count of Attempted Grand Theft Motor Vehicle, three counts of Burglary to a Conveyance, two counts of Burglary to an Occupied Dwelling, three counts of Leaving the Scene of a Crash with Property Damage, one count of Burglary/Battery, one count of Battery, two counts of Possession of a Controlled Substance, and three felony warrants for Violation of Probation- Grand Theft Motor Vehicle.
Angry dwarf goes on unhinged rant about Trump’s economic plans.
Don’t get me wrong. Some regulations should be eliminated because they’re just too costly relative to the protections they provide. But many regulations protect you and me from being harmed, fleeced, shafted, injured, or sickened by corporate products and services. And they’re worth it.
Yet Trump is taking a meat axe to all regulations. In so doing, he’s creating a new form of trickle-down economics—where the benefits go to corporate executives and major investors, while the costs and risks land on the rest of us.

“We wanted to help create a space where community members felt comfortable and open to express themselves without the distraction of cameras and press. These were the first set of events where the press has been excluded,” said Trent. “This is an outlier and will not be the norm. We’re still adjusting our logistics to fit Alexandria’s national profile.”

I love these breathless takes about the disappearance of the young lady from Iowa, especially the source that is citing from the FBI profiler playbook. At this point everyone who has ever read a single police thriller knows all of these things:
The 20-year-old Iowa college student was last seen on July 18 before she vanished without a trace. Police have followed hundreds of leads but have yet to follow one to Mollie, but it is believed she was kidnaped by someone she knew who is inserting himself into the investigation.
A source close to the FBI told Radar Online that authorities believe Mollie’s abductor is hiding in plain sight and even attended a vigil held for the missing student.
“There is reason to believe the person responsible for Mollie’s disappearance attended a vigil and has continued to closely follow the case,” the source said.
Oh what the hell, I worked too hard on the links to go deep on the music.

“Angry dwarf goes on unhinged rant about Trump’s economic plans.”
If it is bad or we want to pretend it is bad, blame Trump. If it is good give credit to Obama even though nobody did more damage to our economy than his party while he was in charge? OK…
When someone uses the term, “trickle down economics,” it’s an indicator that they shouldn’t even be taken seriously.
Fortunately, people already didn’t take Robert Reich seriously, other than when he plays one of Santa’s elves at Christmastime.
Let’s add “creating a space” to that list as well.
The bad thing about trickle down economics, is that we don’t approve of wealth trickling down, because we aren’t in charge of it and didn’t get to choose from who or to who this trickling is going on. /the left
Yup. Pretty much the way these people think. If they are not allowed to pick the winners & losers the system is unfair.
Imagine how much faster the economy would be growing if Hillary had won!
We might be at 1.5% growth! (To be lowered next month ‘unexpectedly’)
Look, shitlord, everyone would now have free healthcare, free college, and ponies, and it wouldn’t cost a dime! That’s the only reason you hate progress!
I bet you every team blue douchebag is going “Why can’t we do cool stuff like this to the Trumpers?
Thomas Friedman got a chubby reading that.
While reading Le Monde in an Uber driven by a Cuban ex-pat while on the way to a conference in Dubai.
Also in Dubai, at the Marina. It’s amazing what capitalism hath wrought. Was here twenty years ago, and the change is staggering.
Him and Bruni probably had one of their nooner chubby orgies over that. Sorry, I know that’s disgusting, not even SF would do that to us. I’m a bad person.
If I was even more meaner, I would have thrown Krugabe into the mix, so at least give me credit for that being a sort of decent human.
There needs to be an expiration date on stuff like this. If you can’t reconquer territory within X years, you don’t have any claim over it.
Is there a corollary? Could you for instance, shutter a reservation system after a period of X years and just declare the original natives to be citizens (no more, no less).
I think my favorite part of that is bashing Trump for wanting to lift regulations that could put out fires dumping tons and perhaps megatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Like, is CO2 the most serious agent of climate change or not?
Shit that was supposed to be a reply. Office bottle seems to be leaking, it is losing fluid fast.
Go go go!
I am gonna hike some 10 miles in a bit then come hit my bottle for the eve myself… And yeah CO2 is evil, but not as evil as Trump!
Roll Tide!
“Like, is CO2 the most serious agent of climate change or not?”
It is when it fits our plans. Otherwise, shutup.
So if Florida Man is copying GTA, that means he’ll be released from jail within a few seconds with a cleared record?
Did he use up all his lives?
I’m not sure the game is faithful to real life. The real motherfucker of the story is getting hit with 3 felony violation of probation charges. That’s just piling on.

Seriously. If only he was as evil as all his detractors keep saying.
I could woodchip a stack of papers that would stretch from here to the moon and it would barely be a dent. Government for and by a plan to sustain and grow itself is not exactly what the founders had in mind.
Trump needs to not only gut the administrative regulatory machine, he needs to annihilate as much of it as he can.
Obama took it to such soaring heights it’s the only way to bring back some semblance of coherence.

Obama. NOT GONE ENOUGH.
Just wait until the next time the Dems take the presidency. I’d be willing to put down money that Obama’s name will be brought up as a Supreme Court nominee if there are any openings.
I’m surprised they haven’t started a gofundme page to pay for carving his face in a mountain somewhere.

I just looked, it’s up to $431K.

Mark my words. Before I leave this world, there will be a colossus of that asshole straddling the Potomac.
I was thinking this too. Only potential drawback – can a SCOTUS justice still accept six figure speaking fees to spread his manure around?
Doesn’t matter. Rules like that are for the little people.
Only if you run it through a foundation.
“Just wait until the next time the Dems take the presidency.”
Well, at the risk of being redundant. Because I’ve already said this enough. They will refuse to vacate the office when they are defeated or their term is over. It’s just as simple as that. This is where we are currently headed.
I would wear a mask too.

Indeed.
Wow.
Damn it. I’m going to Denver next month. Maybe I should pack my Glibertarian shirt… or my Dropkick Murphy’s shirt that says: “Try burning this one.”
I’d go with the Molon Labe shirt.
I could tie one hand behind my back, to make it a fair fight – assuming they all came at me at once.
Seeing that picture I’m tempted to buy a nazi shirt just to pick a fight. Damn that is one punchable group of faces.
“You’ll now they found a Nazi when you hear the sound of their tiny little wrists snapping.”
Some pretty good comments.
I want to go to Colorado now to smoke and laugh my ass off at these douches. Just follow them around heckling them while higher than their estrogen levels.
For their own good, I hope it’s 90 year olds or women they are planning to punch, because otherwise, I think this will be very hazardous to their health.
Quaere: Will there ever be a response by Glibs that is violent? Understood that opsec negates a response. This is rhetorical.

Also I heard De Blasio attacked Pineapple Sprig Cuomo for his ‘America was never great’ comment. Yeh….that’s not good when you lose a socialist tart like De Blasio.
Deblasio and Cuomo have been feuding for years, despite being stamped from the same exact political mold. I wouldn’t read anything into that.
I’m not sure they are of the same mold (mold being the operative term).
DeBlasio is a real-life true believer. Cuomo is a political hack willing to opportunistically pander to the true believers.
Pretty much, yeah. DeBlasio is an actual Communist. Cuomo is just a standard-issue grifting Democrat who’s flailing around trying to appeal to the Commie types.
Perhaps. But Cuomo has been governing as a progressive long enough to claim the title, IMHO.
I’m, by no stretch of the imagination, a fan of Cynthia Nixon, but even she found a smart response to Cuomo’s “America was never great” comment:
“I think this is just another example of Andrew Cuomo trying to figure out what a progressive sounds like and missing by a mile.”
Except that is exactly what a prog sounds like. Most of them aren’t as refreshingly open about it, though.
True. But, it is a clever move to cast Cuomo as “not one of us” and try to pretend you don’t hate America (for mass consumption).
Oh he didn’t miss. That is what progressives sound like.

Strzok, who was fired Friday over anti-Trump text messages he sent in 2016 and 2017
Oh, I think he was fired for a lot more than that (including using private email for classified info). But, gotta build that narrative.
Hey, we hate him, too. Can you pay for my treatments?
No. Go cook some meth.
Strzok’s page has raised over $425,000, which is approaching his half-a-million goal. During that same time period, over 11,000 people have donated to the cause
Without any sort of verification, I’m going to assume this is just a laundered payoff to Strzok.
Jealous. Must be nice to have local family that aren’t batshit crazy. ::awkward silence then sad trombone sfx::
His mother could be holding a gun to his head and forcing him to type that. We have no way to know!
Yes. My parents are pretty sane people. They aren’t all up in our business, but we probably see them every week or two. Very different from when I was coming up and my parents lived 1000 miles away from their parents. As long as I don’t have to ride in a car with my father driving, we are all good. I love the man, but he pulses the gas, and still pumps the brakes like anti-lock brakes haven’t been standard on cars for 30 years.
Sounds like you’ve taken a trip with Tres Sr. before.
In re: Strzok’s GoFundMe.
What are the tax implications of all those people just giving you money? My 1st thought is that its just standard income, but I wasn’t sure if there’s a “gift” loophole or something.
Great point. Knowing IRS, I doubt they are cool with the line of reasoning that every donor that contributes under the $14k per donor gift exemption results in untaxed monies. I would suppose they prefer the Self Employment Tax point of view on the net takeaway.
Fuck all the parasites working at IRS.
In general, they should be considered personal gifts which are not taxable to the recipient, nor are they deductible as a charitable donation to the donor (unless I guess the donee is a 501c3. .
Now, I have not personally seen it, but I would assume the IRS still likes to find people on GoFundMe to fuck with by sending them a letter for taxes due on the amount received through GoFundMe.
My 80 year old father has a lead foot. He’s driving my Tundra and I’m wondering when the transmission is going to give out.

Is it normal for the media to try to get jurors’ info during high profile trials?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/17/judge-in-manafort-trial-says-hes-been-threatened-over-case.html
Is their request SOP or is it a dox threat?
Even if its common, in this case its a dox threat.
I don’t know, but I think I would want to interview them if I were in the media without any agenda other than getting the story.
if I were in the media without any agenda
Meanwhile, back at CNN . . . .
“Contact us if you want to be interviewed.”
You’re welcome.
Media types have been claiming that it’s a standard request, but I don’t see why it would be until after the trial is over. You can’t talk to the jurors until the case is over anyway, so what’s the big rush?
So they can get those hit pieces ready to roll as soon as the verdict is out.
Fortunately, the judge told them to go pound sand.
And his reward for preventing an injustice from being carried out, pointing out how Mueller’s case against Manafort is nothing but a flim-flam shit show, and protecting that jury from the loving left was death threats.
The judge denied it, but it is absolutely clear it was a threat to influence the jurors.
Here’s a question I meant to ask during the hunting discussion on the previous thread: I’ve started teaching my son basic marksmanship. In the course of this, he’s said he wants me to take him hunting sometime. I’ve never really been hunting, nor do I know anyone who does other than my father in law, who a)lives hundreds of miles away b)doesn’t particularly like me. How do you pick up hunting if you didn’t grow up doing it?
I don’t really have much desire to kill anything myself, honestly, which is why I’ve never done it. Hell, I barely even fish anymore – the only reason I’ve gone fishing in the last fifteen years has been in the last few when my kids have wanted to go. However, if that’s what he wants to do, I’m game (see what I did there!). Honestly, seeing his reaction to me cleaning some fish we caught leads me to believe that he’s not going to enjoy it as much as he thinks, but then I’m a big believer in learning by experience.
Hunting for what?
The Most Dangerous Game
STEVE SMITH!
Horny cougars?
Bow-chicka-bow-bow
Hell, I don’t know! Deer I guess? It’s not as if we have big game in Virginia. Deer, ducks, turkeys are most of it as far as I know.
https://lakotahuntclub.com/
Something like this might be an option.
Start with turkey, would be my advice. Ask around to see if anybody you know is a turkey hunter, and have them either take the kid, or “guide” both of you. Most hunters, in my experience, would be more than happy to do so.
If you don’t know anybody, hire a guide.
Why turkey? Ducks are wingshooting, and unless you’ve been practicing, you will be very cold and wet, with no ducks. Deer hunting on public land is a huge crap shoot, with the dice loaded against you. Now, if you know somebody who owns a farm that has deer, and would let you hunt, that would be a better bet.
But I’d still start with turkey. Its a nice combination of challenging and managable.
Now, if you know somebody who owns a farm that has deer, and would let you hunt, that would be a better bet.
*raises hand*
Come on by Chip. Just saw a beautiful doe run through the fields yesterday morning.
Back when I last had a roommate I wasn’t married to, he had an uncle with about 100 acres in GA, most of which was leased to a peanut farmer. Uncle calls up my friend, “I got my buck this season. I made coffee, looked out my window and saw him, got my rifle and shot him from the porch before my coffee was cool enough to drink.”
That’s how I want to hunt.
That’s almost exactly how I shot my first deer. Off my back porch, about an hour after sunrise when I came back to warm up from a cold opening morning.
Or you crawl down out of your stand, hike a mile back and find a buck sniffing over your truck.
ProTip: a radiator is not a good backstop
One of the houses I looked at had a deer feeder ~100 feet off the back porch. This is illegal in VA, so the guy had built a cinder block wall along the road to hide it.
I got into hunting through friends who hunted. “Deer Camp” has become a yearly tradition. I usually do the cooking because otherwise we’d be eating pop tarts and hotdogs and beer. Now we have Swedish meatballs, ribeye steaks, Colorado green chili, and gin and tonics. I like to class it up a little bit.
I was worried about how I would react to taking something’s life when I first started. There was a small tinge of regret when I shot my first deer but not bad. She was delicious with helped get over the guilt.
I don’t know how it is in Virginny, but in Minnesoda, the youths have to take a gun safety course before they can go hunting. There are local gun clubs or the DNR that offer the classes.
I’m pretty much in the same boat. My father grew up hunting, but never passed down the tradition to me. I’d love to see what people come up with on this topic.
Over the past couple of years I’ve been fixing to go hunting “soon” and reckon I may take my daughter along. Specifically, wild hog hunting seems to appeal to me the most.
My plan of action is one of the following:
(1) Pay to go on a guided boar hunt with an outfit that doesn’t set one up with an easy kill, and ensure that part of the package involves me participating in the field dressing and butchering of the animal.
(2) Ask one of my several hunter friends to just tag along.
My primary desire to do this is that I feel like I am definitely lacking some really primal skills and don’t even know how to butcher a kill.
I like this plan. Depending on where you live/who you know, you might not even need to go on a guided hunt. Feral hogs are a big problem in many parts of the country, and farmers and ranchers are pretty open to people shooting them. In North Texas, you’d have no problem getting permission to hunt, and it would be dead easy to get a real life cowboy to guide you for not much money.
Talked with some others about this at TOS at first, and after some research it seems like the best course of action if I want to come away with high quality meat, is to go to Texas where the feral hogs are fenced in to some degree on many many acres of land, and fed dominantly an acorn diet. “They” say the meat taste is impacted by the diet.
I don’t like the idea of a hog that feasts on garbage and rancid opossum carcasses and shit like that for primary sustenance. I want to be able to make sausage and cure some boar ham.
Good point on the meat. A lot of cowboys do a sideline in feral hog trapping. They feed them before they sell or butcher them.
Some of the high-fence operations in Texas are huge, too. With just a modicum of planning/attention, should be plenty sporting.
I’d like this idea – wild boar certainly aren’t cute and cuddly, so probably wouldn’t feel as bad about shooting them. Not sure we really get them around here, though.
Boar: they’re asleep. Pigs and deer are nocturnal, so that means dusk and dawn hunts for the most part.
If you’re still talking about the kid, I don’t think those are good times to start as a hunter: people “see” all kinds of things as it is on a hunt; compromise the light 50%, and the mistakes can be tremendous.
Boar are simple enough game….for after the marksman in you has evolved into a hunter with a more than zero field savvy.
Go to a hunting ‘farm’. My friend took his son to one when he was first learning to hunt. It was a large (very, very large) penned property where the company took care of cleaning the animal after you shot it. They did deer and then pig. Delicious…
In most states you need a license. And to get that license you need to take a hunting course. These are usually held at fish & game clubs. So it’s a good way to meet people.
If it were me… I would go up to a mom’n’pop sporting goods store or shooting range (better if they have an archery range too), and ask them. Perhaps they have a message board. Perhaps they know people willing to teach. Perhaps they know someone who needs someone along. Perhaps there’s an old geezer who wants to pass his knowledge along to somebody but has no one. Or…put an ad in Craigslist or ask on the NextDoor app.
/rubs chin. Perhaps…
Marksmanship came first for me, and I grew up hunting small game on private land with a rimfire….but I don’t at all recommend that.
If you live somewhere that has state-managed wildlife areas, I’d do that…with shotguns. That’s a can’t miss situation where one focuses on the game; I recommend squirrel. That way he’s keeping the muzzle up and away from everyone and the scatter won’t go 100 yard. WMA tend to have rules and heavy staffing, so the rednecks don’t like them as much; the hunting pressure might be high, but at least you’re dealing with folk who have jumped through hoops, paid their fees, that sort of thing.
If you’re out west, varmints are the obvious marksman’s target. I find no fault with turning little dodgy critters inside out if it saves a cow or twos’ legs.
I really, really don’t recommend this: I honed my skills prone on a shed above a terrapin-infested pond at five years. The land belonged to friends, the backstop for ricochet was reliable, and we were miles from anywhere or anyone. I’d call off my targets, squeeze off, and then critique myself (eg: right and high….pulled more than squeezed that one). With iron sites out to 100 yards, I doubt I hit 20%, but I loved the challenge.
I honed my skills prone on a shed above a terrapin-infested pond at five years
I used to have a pond that was rotten with snapping turtles. Great varmint-shooting fun. Plus, I was using a 22-250; even the misses were fun, what with the waterspout those hot little rounds kick up.
Speaking of varmints. Any recommendations from the Glibertariat for dealing with a garage chipmunk? Damn thing isn’t falling for the peanut butter in the live trap and I’m about ready to escalate my use of force.
Get a large bucket, like one of those big plastic paint buckets. Fill halfway. Lay a towel over the top and put some food in the middle to bait it. Chipmunk goes for the food, towel falls into the water, chipmunk eventually drowns. I’ve never needed to do that but a guy I know swears by that method.
I think this calls for a few six packs and a large caliber rifle.
Correct me if I’m wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’re gonna lock me up and throw away the key.
Relevant
Get a can of gasoline. Burn all the trees down.
It’s a garage chipmunk now. As much as I’d like to burn down the house from time to time, I think the bank might feel otherwise. And wifey won’t like .22LR holes in the exterior wall, which is probably where I’m going. Maybe pick up an air rifle?
Buying a gun is always the right decision
That’s an option if he often gives you a clear shot. Good excuse to get a Daisy.
Putting a Gamo air rifle in the Amazon cart. $90 and can be here Sunday.
I don’t know about chipmunks, but if your cat ever brings a duck in the house and it hides behind the washing machine, I can tell you its a great way to solve the problem.
Yeah, I’d shoot the little fucker, too.
I like that. I already have a really powerful air rifle, but that thing looks like squirrel killer, I want one.
Is that one multi-shot and does that even work? The thing I don’t like about mine is that you only get one shot before repumping.
Single shot

Ok, I pulled the trigger. If Chip&Dale knows whats good for him, he’ll climb into the little cage in the next two days and get relocated with a shot at living a full & happy life. Otherwise he’s going to deal with an acute case of lead poisoning.
22 caliber rat shot
As a kid one of my jobs on the farm was killing rats in the commercial chicken houses.
Rat shot would make for an easy shot and not penetrate tin walls or ceilings
rat shot = bird shot?
I guess it could be called bird shot.
When I was a kid the boxes were labeled rat shot.
Fired out of a 22 rimfire rifle or pistol
Mini shotgun shells in a 22 caliber brass
I dont know how to link from my phone but invoke your google fu and there are plenty of links to rat shot 22 shells
That should solve your problem
Yeah, I was just doing that. It looks like different names for the same thing.
bird shot = rat shot = snake shot
Thanks! that’ll be the backup plan. I’ll pick up a pack of those & see how they compare to the new pellet gun.
Looks like #12 shot is the stuff.
A cat?
Claymores. Just be careful setting the tripwires; they have to be super-light for chipmunks.

Mousetrap Monday videos are so so so so satisfying for anyone that’s ever had a mouse infestation. I could watch for hours.
Rat poison.
I’m in the same boat. I plan on doing a guided hog hunt, then a WMA. I read an article and the best advice is see if you have any friends that hunt and let you tag along. I posted this earlier for hunter education.
https://nra.yourlearningportal.com/courses/Hunter%20Education/details
Hmmmm….I’d have to make friends first! hahaha
One of best friends goes dove hunting quite a bit, but he lives near Houston, so unless we made a helluva trip that doesn’t seem practical. I think my neighbor across the street hunts. We’re not really friends, but we are friendly, so maybe that would work.
Take him a case of beer and shoot the breeze. Bring up hunting and how you have an interest. Maybe you’ll get an invite.
I was about to suggest rabbit hunting as they are very easy to clean, and also abundant.
Trouble is they move fast and it helps having a dog to flush them out.
If you can make friends with someone who has a few hunting dogs though that could be an option as well.
Get your son a subscription or two to some outdoor magazines. Go to the library or a used book store and get some of the books Animal mentioned in the previous thread. Both of you can enjoy the adventures vicariously, learning as you go. Get a good book on guns, like a Shooter’s Bible or Shooter’s Digest and compare the various guns/ammo etc. Hunting doesn’t need to be a once a year experience. It can be a whole family affair. My mother wasn’t a hunter but if we brought it home and skinned it out she would cook it. Woodchuck and Porcupine made the menu (but only once). Snapping turtles were on the list in summer.
If your son has some friends that are hunters/shooters he may get the motivation to learn about guns and gun safety.
Start him off small game hunting…ie rabbits, squirrels and quail. Even my Commie State of Illinois has youth hunting programs that can help out.
My vote is for squirrel. They’re everywhere and they taste pretty good, too
Skwerlz are not only fine eating, they can offer a pretty good challenge to new hunters. Bushytails in areas where they are hunted are cautious and spooky; hunting them teaches you to look, to listen, to plan, set up and execute a stalk. That’s where I’d start if there are skwerlz in your area.
You would also be helping those of us in the know to fight the good fight against Skwerl World Domination.
One other thing to sweeten the pot for squirrels; if junior really get into it, he can make a little bit of money or get free fishing tackle.
Mepps Squirrel Tail Program
You’re only shooting targets. Once you decide to pull the trigger, it’s just a target. And you have to be all in with that. No holding back on the commitment to the kill. Watch Apocalypse Now. That’s the lesson. If you’re commitment to the act of killing is fractured, so you shall be.

To get away from STEVOSAURUS, would be my guess.
I dunno but the choice seems to have worked out for them.

Piers Morgan Says Omarosa Manigault Offered Him Sex to Win ‘Celebrity Apprentice’
When he declined, she called him gay.
I think I’d believe just about anything that was said about her.
She is truly one of the more repellent personalities on the public stage, and the competition is stiffer than STEVE SMITH at a Boy Scout jamboree.
Trump’s decision to bring her into the White House has to be one of the worst moves he’s made.
He really does like the crazies on the make.
Frank Drebin – “Don’t feel sorry for me! I haven’t had this much sex since I was a Boy Scout leader!”
*stops, sees people staring at him*
“I was dating a lot at the time.”
Frank Drebin. ?
Or OMWC at a Cub Scout camp out.
It’s this kind of dirt that made News of the World great.
“When he declined, she called him gay.”
She may be telling the truth in this instance

What does Gary Johnson mean that Elizabeth Warren is “off-base” when she accuses him of opposing the minimum wage and wanting to raise the age for Social Security? Maybe he should just own this attack. Unless he’s got more creative “libertarian” positions to offer
You’re assuming he knows what he means.
That does make an ass out of me and Gary
He’s checking a map right now.
Maybe…He’s adopting a Trumpesque Twitter style. Which means it doesn’t really matter what he writes on Twitter. Soon he’ll call her a four letter word that rhymes with Shunt.
Aleppunt? Isn’t that what he did last time?
Yes. Yes it is.
Don’t sink to their level, Gary! You’re goofy in a pathetic sort of way. Trump is goody in a deranged sort of way.
*goofy
Warren: Gary Johnson wants to end the minimum wage and reform Social Security
Me: Hey, that doesn’t sound half bad. Maybe I’ve been wrong about Gary
Gary: Woah, woah there, I’m not trying to come off as some sort of alternative to the two major parties. I’m just trying to combine the bad ideas of both sides and then couch it in some general desire to reduce spending.
Aide: Gary, you’re not drawing a lot of support from traditional libertarian voters. Maybe we should rethink the strategy here
Gary: Let them eat homo cake!
^ This is all a joke. I just needed to come up with a scenario to work in “homo cake”.
I helped!

I admit to immediately viewing that very video not a minute after posting that comment.

Whoops…mis-threaded. And Im sober. Ill try again:
In re: Strzok’s GoFundMe.
What are the tax implications of all those people just giving you money? My 1st thought is that its just standard income, but I wasn’t sure if there’s a “gift” loophole or something.
How did you predict that you would mis-thread before you posted your comment?
Just admit that you can see the future
Not Adahn has taught me some things….
Which Gary Johnson is running for Senate? The sensible New Mexico governor, or the goofy weirdo who ran for president and picked the worst running mate this side of Wayne Allyn Root?
I’ll see your misthread and raise you one.
See you can’t predict the future, unlike Tres Cool who appears to be some sort of wizard
Wayne Allyn Root is such a piece of shit. Still hate that guy. Incredibly and defying physics, he’s even more punchable as a Trumpalo.
WAR (as he now dubs himself) has a show on Newsmax and it’s broadcast out of what appears to be his dining room or a very spacious and cluttered office.
Yes, it’s as sad as it sounds
Does his dad bust in and yell at him like Jason Kessler’s does?
That shit was hysterical.
LOL, that actually made me chortle. He puts forward his public image as some incredibly successful multimillionaire baller. I would feel sorry for him if it weren’t for that shit-eating grin.
It looks like a gift to me. He didn’t provide a service to donors. He didn’t provide them with a product. He provided nothing in return. It’s a gift.
BTW, for anyone who’s never spent time in Alabama around big Crimson Tide fans, they are EXACTLY what the stereotype paints them to be. It’s hard to really grasp it if you’ve never spent any time in Alabama.
they are EXACTLY what the stereotype paints them to be
tOSU fans with funny accents?
The ones from Toledo are the worst. That NW Ohio/SE Michigan accent just grates my nerves.
If I knew some OSU fans, I might agree with that. Basically, Alabama football dominates every facet of their lives. They spend the offseason obsessing over who is going to be the third string fullback on the depth chart. They actually do yell “Roll Tide” all the time, for any reason at all (or no reason whatsoever, just because). I was working in Foley, AL when Nick Saban was hired. His entire introductory press conference was broadcast on the local networks. I know this because, in the middle of the working day, my boss brought in a TV and we watched the entire press conference…AT WORK. And this was when they had been mediocre for a while and hadn’t won anything since the days of Gene Stallings 15 years earlier.
Before I lived down there, I thought no one could be worse than Kentucky basketball fans when it came to smug superiority and entitlement. I was wrong. And I actually liked a lot of these people, too, but you just had to roll your eyes when they’d start going on about the Tide.
They’re easier to handle when you get them out of AL. Knew a lot of tide fans, but being in SC meant they were in Gamecock country, they toned it down to just, “roll tide?”
ROLL TIDE
First day I rolled into Costa Rica for work, my coworker picked me up along with a nice young woman from the Charleston office who managed to work in “Go Cocks!” five minutes after we sat down to dinner. She was into cocks, but coworker got to that first.
managed to work in “Go Cocks!”
What with the plural there, I would think a threesome would be in order.
Too many ticas.
Did you get to attend a Costa Rica futbol game? Now those get muy serioso.
They were setting fires in the stands at the one I went to and throwing flaming rolls of toilet paper at the players.
I did not. My boss, who had the car, liked to get the fuck out of Dodge whenever we weren’t working our asses off. I spent weekends on the Pacific or at Tabacon in the hot springs. And worked 12-14 hour days when we weren’t out of town.

If I knew some OSU fans,
You have seen what a tOSU shill Sloopy is, right?
I am quite fond of how the North Alabama regional accent sounds.
I find all “die-hard” fans of any team to be SJW-level annoying. Being a fan is fine, but that weird tribal shit over entertainment is retarded once you’ve reached your late teens.
*blows sad vuvuzela*
You’re probably right.
Still, fuck the Hokies.
I couldn’t agree more. Those fucking dook fans are the absolute worst. I hate those carpetbaging, faux-gothic campus having, ivy league wannabe New Jersey punks and their rat-faced vampire like coach with his unpronounceable name are just obnoxious.
Not like us Tar Heel fans.
This probably works lots of places, but I know I prefer road games this wise: the Away stands tend to be full of alumni. Home games are full of anyone who can scrape together $120 and a quarter tank of gas. So, for me, especially for my native SEC, I do what I can to distance from “fans.”
Favorite observation around these here parts: I’m wearing a Volunteer sweatshirt because I went to Tennessee; he’s wearing a Bama hoody because he went to Walmart.
That’s pretty much the FSU/UF breakdown in Florida if you get more than 50 miles from Tallahassee or Miami. The problem is that the UF alumni try really hard to blend in with the guy who went to Walmart.
The problem is that the UF alumni try really hard to blend in with the guy who went to Walmart.
I refuse to believe that any Florida Man has to try hard to blend in at Walmart.
I quit wearing UF stuff even though I’m an alumnus and started wearing just UNF stuff because I don’t want to be harassed about football bs when I’m out and about.
I wore Tennessee stuff all the time in Texas.
Now that I’m back home, that’s not special, so I wear stuff from my son’s alma mater.
Ah, the Walmart Michigan fans is a thing in the B1G as well. Although these days, they may just buy the shirts because they are marked off in the clearance bin.
They are either academic utopian schemes or failed European governance models. There are very good reasons none of these dusty relics of eons of progressive corporate thought have made it into law.
“An Afghan teenager who said he feared being persecuted in his home country for being gay has had his asylum application rejected by Austria after an official said he did not “walk, act or dress” like a gay man, according to reports.
An official in Lower Austria found no grounds for fear of persecution based on the sexual orientation of the 18-year-old, the Falter newspaper reported.
“The way you walk, act or dress does not show even in the slightest that you could be homosexual,” the official reportedly wrote in his assessment rejecting the claim.
The official also found “potential for aggression”, which “wouldn’t be expected from a homosexual”, because the man fought with others in the accommodation where he was being housed.
He reportedly had few friends and liked spending time alone or in small groups, leading the official to question in his report: “Aren’t homosexuals rather social?””
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/15/austria-accuses-afghan-asylum-seeker-of-pretending-to-be-gay
I didn’t know that Klinger was an Afghan name.
Maybe the guy has good gaydar.
Oh, just give him a pink triangle already.
The man fought with others in the accommodation where he was being housed. He reportedly had few friends and liked spending time alone or in small groups,
On second thought, sounds like a jihadi. Send him to Sweden.
Wow. I would think that being gay and being deported back to Afghanistan would be one of the real humanitarian grounds for allowing asylum. Someone who is likely to be killed if they get deported without any sort of due process trial. Not that Austria is founded on any sort of Lockean/Jeffersonian constitution of human rights, but…
Could be, except that at some point as you travel further and further away from whoever might persecute you, you stop being a “refugee” and you start being a plain old migrant.
Under international law you can claim refugee status in the first safe harbor country. After you pass that country you are an immigrant and no longer a potential refugee.
It goes to show that it doesn’t matter where you go, you will always find the border control agents are full of people who are a toxic combination of callousness, malevolence and stupidity.
It’s shocking that a guy who is marked for death by being thrown off a roof won’t make friends with the guys who want to throw him off a fucking roof!
Next we’ll talk about Emmet Till’s inability to get along with klansmen.
Are you telling me he didn’t check out the Afghan branch of PFLAG even?
Jesus.
“We’ll grant your asylum case if you just suck this girthy erection to climax and then swallow the result.”
My freshman college roommate was gay. I didn’t know until I reconnected with him on Facebook year later. Not all gays fit the sterotypes.
The big boss man at work here is gay. I only know this because someone told me. He in no way aligns with the gay stereotype. The only thing he’s ever said that might be a tipoff is his love of Broadway musicals.
I noticed that Texas girls found me light in the loafers: I eventually learned to cowboy up so they wouldn’t worry.
Where I’m from, real men don’t spend 40 minutes out of every hour braying about what they can do, where they work, or what they can do. I didn’t know that was necessary. I also have a bad habit of knotting a fabulous tie and never going a week without touching up the shine on my brogues.
So the bullshit cuts both ways.
My favorite showtune is “Master of the House.” * starts whistling *
Wearing loafers to the cowboy bar will get you every time.
They hate me already: they wear 10 gallon hats and are jacked up on heels and I’m still 3″ taller.
In fairness, little guys do make better cowboys, leverage and weight on the mount and all that.

Those few would have met it anywhere they lived.

Continued from the last thread, it’s 3:15 and my Tahoe is still at the dealer getting serviced. I’m going to be sober until six, because I still have to have the shuttle pick me up and take me to the dealership, and then I’m going to have to drive the busiest road in the state at 5:30 on a Friday night, with everybody heading home and out of town for the weekend.
Two days for a fucking oil change and brake service.
Do you go to the dealer because it’s under warranty and service there is a requirement of said? I hate getting my vehicle serviced at a dealership, never had a good experience at one in my life.
$40 cheaper for an oil change than the drive in places. I will be shopping around for a new place. I’m not going back.
The fuck? Around here oil changes cost about $30
Yeah, even around here I’ve never had it be more than $40 and I live in MD, the fuck u over by taxes and regulation state. Maybe he’s driving a Bugati or big rig.
Diesel?
Tahoe, so maybe?
Eight quarts of full synthetic oil. That shit’s expensive. $65 at the dealership, $105 at Einstein’s.
Your Friday rush hour commute is 30 minutes? Jesus Christ you have it easy.
Oh, it’s several hours. That’s just when I’ll be in it. Eagle Road makes me feel like I’m right back in the Bay Area.
Brakes are fine. Two days for an oil change.
Two days for an oil change.
“Yeah, if I had to drain eight quarts, it’d probably take me two days.” That’s what she said.
I dislike my Honda dealer. It took 2 hours for the last oil change, and that was with an appointment. I started taking my car instead to this local quick service place that will change the oil in 20 minutes, no matter how slammed.
The dealer’s service manager called a few days later to see how the visit went. I told her it was a 2 hour wait w/ an appt, the quick change place across the street only takes 20 minutes for a walk-in, so why should I ever bring it back to your place? She explained that Saturday is their busiest day and they only keep the service bay half staffed. She then offered to have someone come pick-up and drop off our car for the next one oil change… 2 hours of driving for 2 employees.
So, this Dealership refuses to fully staff the garage on their busiest day, but will send 2 employees away for a min 2 hours to drop-off and pickup a single car during that time. I can’t even begin to understand their business plan.
They’re obviously using full fledged mechanics for oil changes and mechanics are hard to hire. They can pretty much dictate the hours they work.
They would be better off using low skilled guys for oil changes.
Market opportunity? Do I need to get out my wrenches and start changing oil in your parking lot at work?
I see an ample supply of Andrew Jacksons and Harriet Tubmans in your future.
Have drain pan, will travel.
‘Struth, the mobile tire guys are pretty awesome.
I have actually heard of services like this.
I don’t know. They could be using full fledged mechanics, but there’s no shortage of labor, skilled or unskilled, desperately seeking work around here if the dealer wanted to hire more.
I used Jiffy Lube back with my first cheapo used car after college – until they dethreaded my oil pan plug, let me drive home with a loose plug and it all drained out on the apartment complex parking lot (a couple years before cell phones). Good times.
That sort of thing is surprisingly common. I wonder how many successful changes they have to do just to pay for all the engines they ruin.
It’s dealerships. They have a local monopoly.
Next time do it yourself. An oil change and brakes should only take a couple hours.
Great advice if you have a place to do it.
I recommend driving over to OMWC’s house and doing it in his front yard.
I’d have to move his cars out of the yard first.
Spent the morning out at the Air Force base here in Tucson on a tour. High point: I got to “fly” the A-10 simulator: didn’t crash, even hit my targets with the 30mm cannon (eventually). Apparently, my flying style is a cross between “evasive maneuvers” and “flying while intoxicated”. Yes, I asked “What does this red button do?” Turns out, it drops the bombs. I so wanted to drop the damn bombs, just so I could say “Was that wrong? Was I not supposed to do that?”, but I didn’t know how to arm them. Dang it.
Also sat through a presentation on the squadron’s most recent tour in Iraq. They were flying A-10s in the battles for Mosul and Raqqa. Interesting tidbits: The 30mm cannon fires about 100 rounds per second, and the high explosive rounds are about the same as a hand grenade. So: a standard one second burst puts 100 hand grenades on target. The pilot said that he actually “de-tuned” his gatling cannon because it was too accurate and he wanted more dispersion. Finally, they showed us the official count of targets destroyed. Prominently featured was a rather large number of “Daeshbags”, which made me laugh.
“30mm cannon fires about 100 rounds per second”
yummy: bet it was fun calculating the compensation for all that negative thrust
They had combat footage from their last Iraqi tour. The whole plane shakes like crazy.
The pilot said a couple of interesting things about collateral, which I believe because he had no reason to whitewash anything with the group I was with.
He said the A-10s got a lot of work because the cannon is much more precise than any bomb. He also said when they were interdicting tanker trucks and whatnot, they would put a white phosphorous rocket in front of it on the road, to give the driver a chance to bail because a lot of the drivers weren’t ISIS. If he didn’t, they would shoot the back of the truck, because sometimes the drivers could still get away. I think they were genuinely trying to keep the collateral damage to a minimum.
We’ve got an A-10 squadron in Boise. A pair flew over the house today.
The 30mm cannon fires about 100 rounds per second, and the high explosive rounds are about the same as a hand grenade. So: a standard one second burst puts 100 hand grenades on target.
Supposedly if they hold the trigger down for more than a few seconds they risk melting the barrels.
Haven’t heard that – but the back pressure will stall the plane since the airspeed is already so low – if you fire bursts longer than 1-2 seconds. We had them conduct joint ops with us at FT Indiantown Gap back in ’05. Also, unless they changed it, the “normal” anti-tank rounds were depleted uranium (probably tungsten now) due to density for armor piercing vs tanks. Hand grenades will damage a tank, but you want AP to really rip them up – a la “Devil’s Cross” from “Red Storm Rising”, etc.
The anti-tank rounds are penetrator/incendiaries. They didn’t let me keep one for a souvenir.
Typical target run is from a decent altitude, optimally at a pretty good angle of descent, maybe 45 degrees, and shoot a couple of miles from the target when they can. They can fly low and slow, but generally don’t.
They are technically fighters. I told the pilot that they sure didn’t look like dogfighters to me. He said they are slow, but have a tighter turning radius than any fighter aircraft, so he thought he might get one (1) chance to take out an interceptor.
I used to watch them doing gun runs at Indiantown Gap when I was in the Guard. The sound of that Gun… Like the enraged battlecry of a god.
I really want to see them shoot and make things go boom. They do tours, but unfortunately, their range is about 3 1/2 hours from here.
It holds 1100 rounds. They have a special vehicle just for loading the magazine for the gatling cannon. It was remarkable to me that the plane has 11 – 14 seconds total firing time for its main armament.
None of the pilots would admit shooting a burst of more than a few seconds, but apparently emptying the magazine in one go will, indeed, require replacing all the barrels. I noticed during this conversation that the sergeant running the ordnance crew kept a very impressive poker face.
Yeah, crew chiefs hate pilots, mostly because the pilot thinks its their plane. Its not.
But yeah, against ISIS, they probably would use HE vs AP for max effectiveness…not exactly a column of Soviet armor or Iraqi tanks for a target.
They had a mixed combat load; I think it was 5 HE to 1 AP. They shot up a lot of vehicles and buildings. I didn’t really realize it, but they also carry a pretty good load of missiles and bombs, too. But you could tell the pilots preferred shooting the cannon. They did tell us how they would take down a large building: one 500 pound bomb to open a hole, and then put a 2000 pound bomb through the hole to drop the building.

Finally back in Cville – probably gonna sleep downstairs on the sofa all weekend. This weather is absolutely killing me. Even in Virginia Beach all week for a class – I was sitting in an Airconditioned classroom with my glasses off and my head in my hands – heat/humidity/brightness is just too much these days. Not sure why – seems to get more unbearable every year.
My normal job is more manageable since I’m inside a building for work the entire day – vice this week when I was in and out for lunch, etc.
At any rate, The Creepshow just shared this on twitter – will definitely have to check them out more in the future. Looks like a lot of fun. https://youtu.be/tYDt2kSSNag
It’s been a rough couple weeks of heat wave. Over. It.
Oo – Sunday looks like relief.
I had yesterday and today off, so yesterday I went to one of the state forest parks to get a little hiking in. Damn there were so many mosquitoes. First time I’d been there that there were mosquitoes, too.
We’ve had them for a while. I’m ready for the fall.
Summer here has been relatively dry until the last couple of weeks.
It’s 6PM on Friday and I’m still in the office, waiting for an answer to a question. I really can’t wait for vacation. Monday night can’t come fast enough.
You going somewhere?
I have filled 70 boxes, used 175 square feet of bubble wrap, and gone through 133 yards of packing tape. WHYFUCK AM I NOT DONE PACKING?
Packing is like the loaves and the fishes. After you’ve packed all your shit, you’ll still find 7 baskets of stuff that didn’t make it in a box.
WHYFUCK AM I NOT DONE PACKING?
Because you own too much shit?
Fucking capitalism. If we lived in a socialist paradise you wouldn’t have this problem Not Adahn.
Well played there sir!

Had company wide meeting today. We now have a diversity and inclusion nitwit. Full time salaried position. We are also short dozens of people who would actually be doing work. Yes I work on a college campus. Apparently no one has heard actions speak louder than words. Hire whoever the fuck you want, our staff is full of gays and minorities in a white trash town. We don’t need a fat old lady wasting our time with her horseshit.
Let me clarify, our staff was already way more diverse than the town. We don’t need some corporate pos telling us that diversity is good. She needs to fuck off and die and quit wasting tuition money.
We hired one a few years ago. I work in the headquarters and I’ve never seen her.
