So Friday was pretty shitty, like literally, there was a lot of poop to clean up, but young master Theodore was a quick study after all. I cleaned up no poop this weekend, and all of the accidents were edge cases — a long nap, pissed himself trying to get his pants down at the toilet (which, he’ll do again drunk at some point if he has my genetic predisposition and indulges). We declared victory and sent him to school in underwear. I think it saves us $50/month at daycare if he’s able to use the bathroom. Also, its weird how different two kids from the same parents (they at least both look like me and I saw they came from the same place) can be. The older one still expects that the toilet will attack him at any given time and wants someone to watch him go. The younger one already has no fear of the toilet, just wants total privacy and wants to get this wiping the ass thing down so we’ll leave him alone. I know which one is going to be ready to move out at 16.
So on to the links.
Trump continues to do things like this: White House flag returns to full-staff. Its not like we lost a former President or something. Still waiting to see if he sends Pence to the funeral. Me and Tooch at TOS agree on this one. The sooner everyone realizes there’s nothing honorable about all this governing stuff, the better. Although I think my favorite part is how taken-aback all the news services are. “OMG! Trump isn’t sucking McCain’s dick! Doesn’t he know that’s what you do?!”
Apparently, New York’s Bravest get that way by having other firefighters rub their balls on your face on your first day. I had several friends in Houston who were firefighters, and yes, they were all giant men-children unless there was an emergency. I just can’t imagine why I’d want to put my nutsack on another guy. That’s more like homoerotic wish-fulfillment rather than hazing.
Here’s FDNY doing something a little more productive with their time, putting out a propane fire on Liberty Island.
YCombinator becomes the latest group to throw money at the “Targeted Income Subsidies” studies to try to simulate Universal Basic Income. Why anyone would try this in Oakland… I have no idea. I like the YC guys. I think they do good work helping people become tech entrepreneurs. I think this is going to be a loss for them.
Iran claims control of Persian Gulf. I hope the Saudis can still compete on oil price if they have to pay baksheesh to the Persians. And I also hope the US Navy doesn’t feel the need to do anything about this.
I think some people are starting new schools this week.

This shit is ridiculous:
https://nypost.com/2018/08/27/ivanka-trump-slammed-for-tweet-about-video-game-tournament-shooting/amp/
This was the tweet:
https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1033809755679141889
Don’t read the comments.
Yikes. For real don’t read the comments.
Let me sum up the replies
“I AM HOLIER THAN THOU, BITCH”
There’s nothing more the left hates than one of their claimed properties getting off the plantation. No one is immune except us whitey males, because they don’t want us. Every other sentient creature in the universe is owned by them because they have to help the poor victims.
I read the tweet and avoided the comments. What on earth could possibly be objectionable about that statement?
Cuz she’s related by blood to Mephistopheles so automatically anything and everything she says is code for:
“I WILL LAUGH WHILE BATHING IN THE BLOOD OF YOUR CHILDREN!!!”
HAWT!
She didn’t prog hard enough.
“Ivanka, you malevolent, cloven hoofed yeast infection. Your claims of “compassion” are as fucking empty as the bottle of Viagra on your father’s nightstand. Shove them up your empty, plastic twat you fake, complicit lump of bleached out plastic.”
But hey, ban Alex Jones.
“But hey, ban Alex Jones”
Also: Trump is the misogynist and this guy is a staunch defender of women everywhere.
That fountain of anger and bile has her own website. It’s chock full of cognitive dissonance.

“I[…]have chosen the right side of history.”
This is a sociopathic and terrifying statement. Someone who believes this is capable of anything.
No truly insane person thinks they’re insane.
Conservatives may have changed the rules to this game,
Well, the old rules were “Leftists get to do and say whatever they want, and you have to stand there and take it.”
having facts on my side
Debatable, to say the least.
“I am in the company of RBG, Gandhi, MLK and all the others who have chosen the right side of history.”
So either dead or nearly dead?
Liberals have been losing because we only engage people on an intellectual level.
LOL
Let’s be real, that’s boring. We need appeals to emotion, humor and not to fear getting a little nasty.
Because you don’t already do those things. And throw in a few more logical fallacies for good measure.
You’re not fooling me. That HAS to be parody.
“I am a libtard. A snowflake. A socialist. A feminazi. An elitist, academic bitch, truth teller.”
Well, I find no inconsistencies in that statement.
I’ve mentioned before that there’s something oddly vicious about the attitude of some deep-south progs?
she’s from Alabama.
I think its some weird form of self-loathing. they swallow all this horseshit about being guilty for centuries of oppression, and take it out on their own neighbors, who they amplify in their mind to ‘far beyond the worst-possible stereotypes’ of racist inbred yokels.
i’m not saying racist inbred yokels don’t exist; i’m saying the idea of them spawns some forms of mutant super-progressives below the mason-dixon line.
Speaking of Alex Jones, here’s her most recent comment on him:
Totes ok with Twitter’s rules.
It is pretty funny.
Oh yeah, without a doubt. And her slam on Ivanka was actually kind of humorous, as well.
If you say “myocardial infarction” enough, your followers will forget about the 6 years of community college.
Jones does resemble a ham. Spiral-cut, of course.
As we await further details, our hearts are with Jacksonville and all those affected by today’s tragic mass shooting.
Perfectly reasonable.
*reads some comments*
Things like this make me wonder if it me that is crazy/stupid or if it is just everyone else.
Seriously, look at that kid. He looks almost exactly like the kid that shot up the school in New England. Hell, I can’t even remember the state, one of those Northeast shithole states. CT?
What the fuck kind of medications are they putting these kids on? Looking like that is not natural. Kid looks like a fucking alien. I bet Zuckerberg shoots up a school next thing you know.
The real tragedy here is that the news media actually reports this bullshit.
Reporting on what morons say in response to some celebrity’s tweet makes about as much sense as reporting on what some random drunk at a bar is raving about because they are pretty much the exact same thing.
There have always been drunks at the bar raving about some shit and we were all smart enough to ignore them but then they had to create twitter where you no longer need to be drunk or at a bar to go on your little rants but since the comment is there forever rather than ignoring them the media treats the tweets as if they are actually newsworthy

“The sooner everyone realizes there’s nothing honorable about all this governing stuff, the better. ”
That’s fine and all, but we all know it’s because Trump is petty and not because he himself has any real principles on the matter.
We should have elected a principled person, like…
NB: My sarc detector is a little wonky lately
Happy as you may be with the accidental outcome, all I’m saying is the next politician who dies who that he didn’t have a fight with will get the half-mast treatment. There’s no philosophical reason behind this. Trump is just a douche.
I’d rather the unprincipled pricks in Washington do things furthering the tearing down of the fed gov mythos for once. It’s nice to see the ratchet move in the other direction once in a blue moon, even if it’s some boorish buffoon doing the ratcheting.
Well yes.
Yes. Of course, it’s just about Trump and not McCain’s policies that are driving his opinion. But, it is also true that the next politician to die that was not sufficiently anti-Trump will be smeared for all the sins that McCain is guilty of committing.
Maybe so, but the only thing that could make me happier about this move would be Trump ordering an extra 20’ be temporarily erected on each flagpole so he could fly them even higher than normal after McCain died. He was a horrible warmonger and anything Trump has done pales in comparison to the evils McCain did.
the evils McCain did.
Name seven.
First, name one war John McCain opposed since 1980
McCain-Feingold.
If we want a list of McCain’s greatest moral failings as a public official they would include:
(1) Pimping the War In Iraq
(2) Casually pimping War in Iran during the 2008 presidential election and beyond
(3) Defending our arming of Al Qaeda in Syria
(4) Defending our support for Saudi Arabia’s starvation and bombing of Yemen
(5) Opposing any changes to the Patriot Act
(6) Supporting and praising the overthrow of Qaddafi in Libya
(7) Supporting and excusing away our trade sanctions against Iraq in the 90’s that led to mass starvation
What the hell happened to libertarianism where people are pretending like none of this stuff every happened?
The War on Xmas?
The War on Xmas was more of a defensive war. Known denies that Chris Kringle began that by sneaking into millions of people’s houses
1) tried to get Hillary elected
2) agitated for a war in Iran, Syria, lybia, etc.
3) wacko birds
4) helped kill the repeal of Ocare
5) voted regularly against tax cuts
6) McCain feingold
7) Keating 5
Okay okay trshmnstr and Just Sayin’, other than THAT, what
have the Romans done for ushas McCain done wrong?NDAA shaming
NDAA shaming
NDAA shaming
NDAA shaming
Gloating over every war he helped foment
Not resigning when he knew he wasn’t capable of honoring the commitment he had made to voters.

*threatens to sic McCain on the phone*
So first you get on about my McCain/Trump comment, and now Sloopy is supposed to supply a list of his misdeeds. You actually like the guy or something? I thought putting him on your shirt was supposed to be ironic or something, but now I wonder if you didn’t actually do it out of respect.
I mean it’s fine if you do…just wondering.
There’s are exactly three men in the world whom I have respect for, and none of them work anywhere near government. I’m going to suggest you get your Glib-o-meter calibrated. ‘Name seven.” really you thought that was a serious demand. Like six I could deal with but seven? that’s where I draw the line. I can’t even.I mean, yes I’m totally serious.
I knew it!
Heavy involvement in the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Ukraine which started a chain of events like the annexation of Crimea.
“Democratically elected” indeed. I’m all for staying out of other countries shit, but McCain being an asshole does not make Yanukovich (or Manafort) the good guys.
aaand now that I do some cursory research it turns out Viktor was in fact democratically elected…my bad.
In fairness, I doubt that Ukrainian elections are completely clean, but they were probably as clean as could be expected for that region.
“seven”
Is that sarcasm? You meant 700, right?
Yes and no, while I have no doubt you can aggregate 700 ways that John failed, I also find the EVIL!!1! bit a tad… hyperbolic… yes supporting unjust wars is evil, the rest – Keating Five, Wacko birds, voting against Tax cuts, McCain-Fienberg, NDAA shaming, etc.. fall well below the threshold that I personally hold for EVIL!!1!
How about just plain ‘cunty’, then?
I would just name 2 right off the bat, but seven is hardly a chore. The guy supported a bill to try to ban or at least heavily regulate herbs and vitamins. Also, the dick is the reason why the ACA didn’t get all out repealed. There is so much more, it’s not like I despised the prick for the last 10 years with no reason. He’s the statists statist.
How about just plain ‘cunty’, then?
Perfectly cromulent. you’ll get no argument there.
There is so much more, it’s not like I despised the prick for the last 10 years with no reason.
I don’t doubt that. What I, perhaps inartfully, am attempting to do is caution against the ‘boy who cried wolf syndrome’. If Mccain was pure evil where do you go from there? Many here rightly mock the left for accusing every Republican/conservative/ libertarian as being literally Hitler. To then, in the next breath, accuse McCain of being literally Hitler may diminish your effectiveness at mockery. I know that a few of you guys are talk radio/Breitbart true believers but I like to believe most are more nuanced than that.
Don’t care. He came to drain the swamp. If that means downplaying the “great” “accomplishments” of an asshole like McCain because McCain has been a prick to him, then so be it. Politics is a bloodsport. You show me a gracious loser and I’ll show you a loser.
Relative to the dozen people who preceded him, I can’t think of any who cut government departments influence as much as Trump has.
Cutting the hands off of DoS and funneling all their money to the DHS and the DEA so they can run rampant isn’t draining a swamp, it’s just building a beaver dam in the middle of it.
You know who held a swampy beaver?

DAMMIT.

Didn’t that turn out to be a porcupine?
Frank Drebbin?
Winston’s mom?
Adrienne Barbeau?
Wait, he’s raising the DEA’s budget? I didn’t think that got voted in. In fact, hasn’t he effectively said pot should be left to the states? As for the “war on opioids”, I haven’t seen him ramp anything up. That’s all been congress’s doing.
He has increased the DHS’s budget, that’s true. But I don’t think border security is such an awful thing…and he’s enforcing the laws as written. He’s asked Congress to address it since its their damn job. Sorry, but the arbitrary enforcement of laws should go away and they should be enforced as written. Because that’s the only way bad laws themselves go away.
Doesn’t matter if he was successful, we’re talking about his intentions to “drain the swamp”. Fact is, he requested a 3 percent increase in the DEA’s budget while simultaneously reducing the FBI’s budget by the same percent. Similarly, he requested an increase for the Bureau of Prisons and the Office of U.S. Attorneys. With DHS, all four sectors make up Trump’s crony block that profits from his hard-on for the War on Drugs and the War on Immigration.
My
cowsswamp rats are more sacred than your swamp rats, eh?But beavers are so cute.
HM, didn’t you say that Yokels had joined up with the neocons a while back? If you read TOS or CATO it would appear that cosmos have virtually become neocons. I’m not seeing a lot of daylight between the two anymore. Thoughts?
The cosmos, neocons and progs all worship at the altar of government, their only differences are in the particulars.
Not exactly. What I was trying to express is that Trump didn’t turn out to be all the paleocons hoped for on the foreign policy front. But where as the original neocons were China doves and Russia hawks, the neoyokeltarians seem to advocate the opposite.
A lot of people suffer from the “If Trump’s for it, I’m a’gin it.” syndrome.
Thanks for the clarification. I couldn’t recall what you expressed in the article, but I remember enjoying the piece
Politicians depend on the pretense of civility when in actuality they eat their own grandchildren to get elected.
John McClane was a real hero. He single-handedly beat a heavily-armed international gang of thieves posing as terrorists, and saved Christmas.

Repost from midday article:
https://freebeacon.com/issues/federal-judge-says-cody-wilsons-first-amendment-rights-abridged-rules-settlement-state-department-anyway/
Cuz it’s probably the most retarded miscarriage of justice I’ll read this week.
I liked this bit the most
The States have the right to be free from harm apparently. And they have the right to be free from potential harm at that.
Leaving aside the blatant unconstitutional 1A violation here, the basis for the states’ suit is farcical at best. It’s this weird states rights (I loathe than term) theory that it requires the federal government to ban something.
These moronic Roperites think they’re going to get their devil this time. Thanks chowderheads for shredding the Constitution even more. This will all work out well in the end this time. Enjoy the bullet in the back of the head when the political violence that you’re laying the foundations for finally breaks out.
As long as they can’t protect themselves with 3D printed guns.
While technically, this is an action by the several states, I was given to understand that the 14th Amendment incorporated the Bill of Rights to apply to the states. I did not realize the FYTW clause also appended there.
The FYTW clause exists everywhere, lurking in the penumbras of the plain meaning of the text, waiting to be discovered by the divinations of some enlightened judge.
Wasn’t it the State Department that was trying to have the plans banned? The State Department isn’t Congress, so it’s not a 1A violation. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I read this, then walked away for a minute, and my brain stewed upon it. Somehow out popped the (libertopian dream) of an activist judge that took whatever law the State Dept. was trying to use to ban this, and strike it down as unconstitutional, ideally destroying tons of regulation in the blink of an eye.
“Abridged” doesn’t mean “abridged”. Color me shocked.
I think Trump’s better biggest legacy is replacing many of these asshats with younger judges that have at least read the Constitution.
A judge just ruled that one party couldn’t choose to stop suing another party. If that’s not Peak Absurd, it’s pretty damn close.
As if it will make a difference anyway. The files have already been released, and an infinite number of leftist judges can’t undo that.

The only thing I hate more than sanctimonious lefties treating their dumb social media companies as world-changing forces for good is conservatives legitimizing their delusions of grandeur.
Why are you so dedicated to outfits dedicated to your destruction? Why maintain a presence on these platforms? Why give them targets of opportunity? They’ll degenerate into cannibalistic virtue policing without you. Nobody is more miserable than progressives isolated with loads of other progressives.
All excellent questions. If the conservative/libertarian/contrarian/unorthodox people left en masse to Gab, BitChute etc. then YouTube and Twitter would see their traffic implode. It’s just another case of “we post there because we have always posted there”.
“network effect”
I mean, I get it, I guess: it’s still valuable, maybe even invaluable, for maintaining brands. But that’s the problem, innit? It’s not always going to be accessible to the anti-Maoists. As hostile as it’s grown, it can always get worse. It will get worse. So it’s a question of whether you divest yourself now or be divested later. And these brands, Twitter especially, would wither on the vine without constant sources of indignity and outrage. Nobody goes to Twitter for press conferences: they want blood sports. They want spectacle. I won’t pretend to have an answer to it. If it were simple, people would already have done it, whatever it ends up being. But ferchrissake, quit treating your Twitter handle or Facebook profile like a serious investment, or storefront. It’s not: it’s a foxhole in enemy territory.
If the conservative/libertarian/contrarian/unorthodox people left en masse to Gab, BitChute etc. then
YouTube and Twitter would see their traffic implodeleftist dickfarts would follow, worm their way into leadership positions in the company, and eventually wind up with Twitter 2.0.Had the poster mentioned woodchippers instead….

Didn’t HM just say yesterday that Sports Games are traditionally more popular with the “urban” segments of society?
I thought he was suggesting that black video game players prefer sports games to other games.
Yes, particularly EA sports games, in my experience.
Madden is the least gaming community game out there. Popular with that segment, but also with the Legion of Chads and other normies. This isn’t some game where you deposit $30 for a 0.003125% chance to get a magic egg that hatches into either a Bog Monster or a six star copy of AAA Sublimely Magnificent Excite Nipple Fairy Lilith wearing a Blitzball uniform.

Yes, I’m just throwing things out there. It’s a but aggravating this is an issue at all, but at least they focus on flag shenanigans rather than something important.

Greetings y’all. I’m finally fully ensconced in northern Colorado. The road trip sucked. Finding a place to live was almost impossible thanks to the huge housing crunch here. About 9 places we tried to rent were rented out just before we got there. At one point we were on our way to a property management company after confirming on the phone that we were going to lease a place that day and in the 20 minutes before calling and arriving, that place had rented. Apparently people like it here and too many assholes like us are crowding the town.
We finally got a 4 story townhouse in Old Town which is pretty badass. There are several dozen bars, restaurants, coffee shops, etc within walking distance. Both New Belgium and Odell are walking distance. The only downside was moving in to a place with 3 goddamn flights of stairs before we had a chance to acclimate to the altitude. Good times.
So far we love it here though and the weather sure beats Tampa.
Awesome! I was there a couple weeks ago and was shocked how much it’s grown.
You are gonna love it.
I’m already in love with this place and I haven’t even had a chance to go hiking yet. It’s funny how much everyone hates Texans here, but they looooooove CSU so the wife being a professor there is apparently sufficient to not be considered part of the Texas invasion.
I’ve had so much good food and beer while we were settling in that I’m almost sad to be able to start cooking again.
You need to fish the Poudre. Beautiful!
My front door opens to a park that fronts the Poudre so it’s only about 150 yards away from me. In the next couple of days I plan to walk a few miles of the Poudre trail and check it out.
For the squares in the audience, pronounced “pooter”.
Always cast your rod in the Poudre.
I think it is prudent to give it a good sniff first.
*sniffs*
Yep! Fishy!
Is everyone in a stupor since the Rams got smacked around by Hawaii at home on Saturday night?
Idk but that was pretty funny. I’m not gonna cast any stones though until I see how badly my beloved Longhorns are going to shit the bed this year.
That sounds amazing. Mazel tov.
Danke. No need to uber to and from the bars from my house. As long as I don’t get so drunk that I get hit by one of the 921 trains per hour that run through Old Town, I’ll be just fine.
You didn’t move here from California or Texas so you’re allowed to live.
But I was born in California and I grew up in Texas….
Off to the FEMA camp under DIA with you!
Sorry bud, but you missed your window. I unpacked all the guns and ammo yesterday.
Are they under Blucifer the killer or the runway swastika?
You enter the proper sequence on this:

Ima be in town in October, we should grab a drink!
What dates are you going to be here? I’ve got a elk hunting trip with a couple of glibs lurkers in October but the dates are TBD (hunting private land and waiting on the tag info from the landowner). If i’m in town when you are though I’m definitely down for a drink.
8th through the 11th
Awesome! Welcome. The front range needs more liberty minded people regardless of from where they come.
If you’re up for exploring you new state, I’m-a be at Copper in Feb. Would be up for an apres ski, but won’t have transpo, except to Frisco.
“Apparently, New York’s Bravest get that way by having other firefighters rub their balls on your face on your first day.”
Ever hear of an Atomic Sit-up?

I instantly assumed that’s what was done to the firefighters. Turns out they weren’t that subtle.
It takes (a) Village (,) People.
Iran claims control of Persian Gulf. I hope the Saudis can still compete on oil price if they have to pay baksheesh to the Persians. And I also hope the US Navy doesn’t feel the need to do anything about this.
I hope the US Navy ignores this proclamation and continues to treat the international waters of the Gulf as international waters. If the Iranians want to start something, we can have a repeat of Operation Praying Mantis. Securing international waters for trade is essential, and it does not require launching a full-out war.
God damn, Razorfist’s eulogy of McCain was tight.
Cmon man, no linky!?!?
https://youtu.be/6DhBrTtn2Ho
I looked it up. I just trying to enact Pomp’s labor.
Wasn’t he enacting our labor by not providing a link?
Hmmm…. its like some kind of labor enacting circle-jerk.
Didn’t you kinda just define circle-jerk ?
It was an elaborate plan to get Gustave to do it. Yeah…
Oh another thing: I got a hold of a case of commercial beer from the Dominican Republic called Presidente just for the lulz. It turns out to be very drinkable for what it is. Pleasant and almost sweet aftertaste. My case wasn’t skunky. I reckon the local supermarket had cases due to a relatively large Dominican population settled in this area. Would recommend.
Presidente
Is this what Trump drinks?
Not aware if they make a near beer for the Teetotaler-in-Chief, but it would be a nice pairing with a taco bowl.
It was a worthy rant that deserves more airplay.
I disagree about the term limits enshrined in law parts, though. I think that should and does lie with voters.
It was a great rant, but I disagree with you about term limits. Congress folk staying in congress for decades and some for life has given us a corrupt political elite that enrich themselves and their families due to their positions. This was never intended and I don’t think even expected by the founders that someone would make a career of politics. We term limit the President and the rest of the fuckers should be term limited too imho.
I do agree, but fixed term limits just hands even more power to unelected staffers and the civil service. As with most things, government itself is the problem.
You don’t think the staffers and clerks of the likes of McCain and RBG aren’t doing their work for them and steering their decisions? Or Di Fie, Pelosi, hell half of congress probably.
Oh you have got to be shitting me.
Some Minneapolis street performers are collecting more than just tips
I would prefer if we subsidized more dogs to shit on the sidewalk.

Now that’s the market at work.
Why wouldn’t they be? Who doesn’t like drive-ins? Who doesn’t like sex?
The people who have to clean the booths?
The booths have designated positions? How very orderly.
In 2008 I was offered a job on Senator McCain’s then faltering Presidential campaign (if you recall his fundraising was collapsing and he was trailing in the polls early in the primaries). I was in graduate school and I was contemplating whether or not to postpone my studies and move to their DC campaign office or just stay in graduate school. Listening to Ron Paul’s speeches during that time convinced me to reject a job on Senator McCain’s campaign.
This decision is why I am writing a comment on an internet message board right now rather than sipping gin and tonics in DC at one of their sweet sweet cocktail parties.
It’s wrong to mock or piss on the dead. But, let’s not sugarcoat McCain’s bad policy positions (to be diplomatic on the matter).
“It’s wrong to mock or piss on the dead.”
IMO anybody who seeks political office sacrifices that courtesy.
Leaving aside his policy positions:
There have been multiple credible allegations that his conduct in captivity was not the conduct expected of an American officer. I wasn’t there, I can’t say one or way or the other. But men who were there don’t exactly revere him as a hero. They call him “songbird”.
His abandonment of his first wife is well documented. He came back from Vietnam, saw his wife had been in a car accident, been crippled and disfigured, and promptly began the hunt for a younger, prettier woman. After he found her (and after sampling several different possibilities) he divorced her.
John McCain’s personal character is entirely a creation of the media. He is a perfect example of how in Washington, people are treated not as they are but as how they are reputed to be. The more he talks of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.
Good riddance.
Perfect summation. Thank you.
From Mc Cain’s book,”I knocked down some power lines while flying too low over southern Spain. My daredevil clowning had cut off electricity to a great many Spanish homes and created a small international incident.”
That incident should have resulted in an official inquiry (maybe it did?) that should have resulted in serious disciplinary action and a negative efficiency report. He was promoted on time, however, to full Lieutenant (03). I’m quite sure those Spanish folks who lost power were not sitting on the promotion board.
Oh, he wasn’t flying ‘too low’, he was flying under the power lines, contrary to regulations
All I recall is that he spent an entire debate agreeing with Obama.
Statists love other statists. Why do you think Schumer is licking McCain’s dead and decaying ballz?
“It’s wrong to mock or piss on the dead.”
Unless it’s John McCain.
Maybe I’m totally looking at this from the wrong perspective, but the bar for what constitutes authoritatianism seems to be notching ever lower.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/08/27/trumps-authoritarian-musings-are-now-seen-as-routine/
Depends on what party the sitting President is from.
Basically if you’re a lefty, you can genocide every peasant culture on the planet and you’re a hero. If you’re not a lefty then just existing is authoritarian.

I’m good for 3 steaks tonight. I’ll have at least 2 vegetables too. Probably asparagus and Brussels sprouts.
The baby broccoli has been lacking lately, and the stems are thicker than a tree truck. Not worth it.
Oldest turned 4 yesterday. Took him to Knott’s Berry Farm today and turned him loose on Camp Snoopy.
“Dad, what’s a Snoopy?”
“It’s what happens when you have a bad marketing department and unfavorable licensing terms. I hope that helps.”
Libertarian dads never really hit their stride until the kid is about 16 or so.
LOL
Youngest, inn’it?
Dammit. Youngest. My oldest is 10.
My latest thought on McCain, what I told my wife this afternoon. You can pretty much tell who the guy was by those who are heaping praise on him right now. Chuck Schumer for instance. If Chuck Schumer is heaping praise on you, you are pretty much 100% likely to be the lowest of slimy scum on the planet.
He was against torture. So stunning. So brave.
I didn’t need to be tortured to know that it’s wrong. He did.
It’s laughable. The guy was one of the biggest neocons on the planet. He really doesn’t believe that bombing the fuck out of every peasant sheepherder village on the planet for fun and profit is not torture to those people?
That, Playa, is one of the most egregious examples of the unprincipled nature of politicians.
Rob Portman, for instance, used to be against gay marriage. His son turned out to be gay. Whaddaya know! Now he’s for gay marriage allvasudn!
“Uh, Senator, maybe other sons in other families wanted to be able to marry their partners too?”
FUCK THEM, NONE OF THOSE POOFS ARE MY SON
God, I forgot about that. Oh, the winners we get to elect here.
Had to choke down my dinner while listening to NBC suck off this dead guy. Funny how every attribute ascribed to him is essentially meaningless without further description. Patriotic, honest, willing to say what he meant, not afraid to cross the aisle. Everyone – Trump to Warren – professes to be” patriotic.” “Honest” – name one honest politician? Isn’t he the guy who recently campaigned to repeal Obamacare and then voted to save it? “Say what he meant” – what was it he was saying? “Cross the aisle” depends on what you are crossing the aisle to do. Meaningless words without context just to convince the rubes that this guy was special, indispensable, and a pal to everyone except the idiot at 1600 Penna. Ave.
Hero worship is nauseating for sure. In the spring, there were a couple of cops shot here and it was non-stop all day every day for weeks. Lots of people die. How do I know those cops werent beating their wives and shaking down hookers. What heroic act did they perform? Getting shot? That’s like Tommy fell down the well, now he’s a hero. I know that there are first responders who commit heroic acts, but passing a civil service exam and putting on a uniform doesn’t make you a hero, being an egotistal asshole politician sure as hell doesn’t either. I’m not going to celebrate his death, but I’m also not going to celebrate his life because he is no hero to me.

George Soros wrote a lovely tweet of remembrance.
So yeah, confirmation.

Except for the nut sack thing. The thought of you guys smegma covered tea bags makes me shudder.

What am I missing here? What’s her death got to do with Trump?
Nothing, but apparently Milo attacked her after he found out that she was against Trump.
My takeaway is that deplatforming brings out the worse in people.
Ah, I missed the small retweet in rightside screenshot. How can I be outraged if it’s not spelled out for me?

“You do understand that they adopt black kids to kill them for insurance money”
It’s amazing the overlap between racist and complete morons.
Not really. Racism = collectivism. Collectivism = complete morons.
It’s the circle of strife.
True. Racism is a very lazy form of collectivism. I get annoyed with “the white Man went to the moon” stuff. Oh really? What role did you play in that other than having the same skin tone? Fill in the blanks with any other race/accomplishments.
What role did you play in that other than having the same skin tone?
Well, I will have you know Mr smarty pants florida man, I watched that shit on TV so I played a part. Granted it was on a black and white tv in a trailer house, but by god I was there.
You’re a great American, WS.
That is so short-sighted. As everyone here knows, they’re so much more valuable in the mine’s. Insurance, how common.
…mine’s…
Brace yourself, dude.
See, I’m getting other people to call this nonsense out now.
Are you proud of that?
The Wrath of Ted, c’mon Man you know better…..
I just read it as vernacular, e.g. “I gots mine’s….”

I blame auto-correct.
You’re an abuse of the NAP Ted….
Hateful. 😉
Our NJ Governor is a fucking nuts.
“”While well intentioned, the approach reflected in this bill strikes me as incomplete and insufficient,” Murphy wrote. “Instituting a five-cent fee on single-use bags that only applies to certain retailers does not go far enough to address the problems created by overreliance on plastic bags and other single-use carryout bags.””
Christ, what an asshole.
Then again, when was the last time NJ had a good governor? Why wasn’t Jon Corzine beaten to death by an angry mob?
STEVE SMITH DONT PROG BUT STEVE SMITH ALWAYS GO HARDER

If he ever bothered to study, he’d know that the government, while fellating him, had no idea that what he was trying to do was absurd, and the fanboys, while fellating him too, didn’t know the exact same thing.
Tesla’s ‘Affordable’ Model 3 Costs a Bundle to Insure, Study Claims
Even better:
Musk’s Tesla U-turn Prompted by Annoyed Saudis and Fearful Fans, Despite Interest From Volkswagen: Reportse
“For the Model 3, the result is tragically high premiums. A recent study conducted by Gabi Personal Insurance Agency Inc. and posted by Automotive News shows the EV’s average insurance cost across 150 ZIP codes is $2,814 per year. That’s $35 less than the cost of insuring a Porsche 911, using the same metrics.”
Wow.
Inside the mind of a Tesla owner and, according to random internet guy, other owners as well:
That’s all week and good. Now stop asking me to subsidize your thrills.
Anyway, I still think a car that is basically controlled from an iPad is retarded, even without the insurance and financial troubles.
Is a Reportse.cx like a goatse.cx?
My mind went there too. *shudder*
“I had several friends in Houston who were firefighters, and yes, they were all giant men-children unless there was an emergency.”
Yeah, pretty much. The NY guys? Dumb fucks.
My cousin is a career firemen, and is frequently seen wearing a t-shirt with that maltese cross, and the words “My Job Is To Save Your Ass- Not Kiss It”.
Kinda sums it up.
If people only knew what thoughts were going on behind the neutral, polite look on their faces…
Said cousin also, upon appointment as an arson investigator, was sent to the police academy. Seems arson guys have arrest authority in Ohio, and before you do that, you have to be a cop.
So yeah, he’s a literal fireman/cop hybrid.
Memphis FD ain’t that special, but at least they don’t have an attitude.
The policy is Surround It and Drown(d) It. There is zero expectation that anyone will risk life for property…..and very little for life.
That’s the new standard, and don’t get me started.
Any time you are in a work situation that is mostly men we revert to being 15, it is known. Bare balls on someones face thing is just fucked up. The way to deal with that is a swift jab to said nut sack. I have heard some sick stories from security guys who worked for a company that shall not be named about shit like that. That is getting close to mental illness imho.
I have to say, this Razorfist fellow is rather zesty.
Him and Styx have no love for McCain, that’s for certain

The two best political analysts on YouTube in my opinion. It’s no wonder the mainstream media is leaning on social media and the video aggregation sites to purge these guys and those like them, if any long haired schlub who’s well-spoken can pick up a camera and do a better job than they can they’re finished.

Bloomberg is a pallbearer?
For fuck’s sake.
Seems quite appropriate to me.
Should have been the Cleveland Browns.
McCain’s pallbearers to include Warren Beatty, Joe Biden, Gary Hart, plus billionaire Michael Bloomberg and FedEx CEO while his ushers include health and telecom execs.
That better be a light little coffin.
Those guys owned him, they get to toss him in the ground.
He got five guys older than him to carry his casket? It’s going to be hilarious when they all fall and McCain’s corpse falls out
The only thing I can imagine that would tempt me to watch it.
pathetic
I looked quick, but it looks like his pallbearers -politically- run the gamut from hard-core lefty, to one Republican light? I just…I can’t. It’s kinda surreal. He wasn’t a fucking maverick. He was a poser. And that’s the nicest thing that can be said about him.
Notice no classmates, nobody from the Navy?
