Once again, I am going to search the comments and distill the ones most likely to be an effective writing prompt.
Which upon the dreaded realization that at the time it was August and they already had pumpkin beers out, you can probably appreciate my self-control for waiting until October to actually put this out for general consumption.
This is my review of Southern Tier Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale. H/T Bob Boberson
Of course, this also means that there were number of others things about October that people have little self-control in talking about—namely Halloween. Which means today we 
are going to discuss the top 7 libertarian Halloween costumes, because 7 makes sense.
#7 (slutty) Rape Apologist
This one is actually pretty easy to complete. Just dress up as a lawyer if you happen to be a unicorn female–bonus points for showing a little leg. If you happen to be a libertarian male, just wear what you are wearing anyway, and leave your pants open. The key for both is to simply demand hard evidence for everything, and in every conversation. For example, did somebody spike the punch? Demand evidence that it was spiked, or that there was even any punch to begin with.
#6 Rick Sanchez
I don’t know why Rick is libertarian, to be honest. I never watched the show, but I am willing to entertain any arguments as to why or why not.
#5 (slutty) Gender-Fluid Handmaidens Tale
Again, this is also a simple to costume to create. Get a red smock, a bonnet and grow a beard. Once again, bonus points for showing more leg than required.
#4 (Slutty and/or Gender-fluid) Ayn Rand
Objectively, this costume is superior to all the others, because it allows for a level of morality…okay I can’t do it. If you have the stomach for it, I WANT TO SEE IT. The downside, is everybody asking you why you are dressed like a peasant lady.
#3 Kochtopus
Amazon has plenty of octopus costumes for which you can wear, add top hat and monocle accordingly. However, you can take it to the next level by creating this lovely top hat with tentacles sticking out of the top. Simply add a monocle, some body paint, and you are golden.
Things will get real ugly
#2 Walt (Gran Torino)
Halloween means a bunch of kids are going to be running around your lawn; there is only one effective way to keep them off your lawn and that is a M-1 Garand from your days in Korea and explaining it to them you wish for them to get off your lawn. If you prefer to chase them down, a Colt M1911 A-1 to the face after tackling those damn kids, will also do the trick.
#1 Zombie John McCain
Too soon?
My friends, BRAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!
Its never too soon, Cowboy.
So is this beer any good? You will not like it if you are not down with pumpkin ales. I however, happen to enjoy and appreciate the history behind the pumpkin ale therefore I will likely purchase this one again. This one is intense in its alcohol content and does not apologize for anything, just like all of these costume ideas. I give Southern Tier Pumpking Imperial Pumpkin Ale a solid 4.5/5.
Not dressing as a pimpkin?
Pimpkinning ain’t easy, but tis necessary..
I expected this to be an OMWC column.
First.
Damn your eye’s, Ted!
Damn my eye’s what?
Are sexy.
Hawt.
I already had my quota for the day. And the musical selection was for you. Mr. Rooney.
Yo OMWC, can you explain to me WTF Jew ear beer is? You posted that pic on your morning link and I am just baffled.
It’s a funny pic, that’s what it is. I’m *guessing* that it’s a transliteration of some Chinese words, but since I can’t read or speak Chinese, that’s a guess pulled out of my ass.
All right, suspected as much. I have seen some of the instructions that clearly came from Chinese translations and I am familiar with what kind of nonsense you gotta go through to figure out wtf they are saying. Of course, you example was one that baffles.
He likes his orphans undressed.
you Americans and your pumpkins. Bleah
The question is “whose ox is gourd?”.
Butternut start a pun thread, lest Swiss deploy the Gaze of Narrowness.
BTW, I actually got to witness the Gaze being deployed in person during our get-together in Chicago. Impressive. Fortunately, it was directed at Animal.
If narrowness of gaze turns this way, I’ll make another acorny pun.
Or run him over with my Kabocha tractor.
I found Kabocha at our local Giant Eagle:)
You’re thinking that will squash him?
Or rollover and pun him to the ground.
Frankly, I can’t beleaf this thread is going so long
*MASS NARROWED GAZE*
It’s only weird to you because vampires walk your streets year round.
I like using a watermelon for the backdrop rather than an actual, you know, pumpkin.
Yeah well….I’m not about to buy a pumpkin to rot on my front porch just yet. KnowutImsayin?
Are you talking about the real deal or a member of the church of AGW RC?
That is how you know Mr. Sharpshooter is a true artist rather than some poseur just taking a photograph.
Walt. That’s an excellent idea.
I even have Hmong neighbors for realism!
The key for both is to simply demand hard evidence for everything,
IYKWIMAITYD.
Wife and I had our first Pumpkins Ales of the season. I went with a New Holland Ichabod and she had the Dogfish Punkin. Both were good although I had a preference for the Dogfish. I have enjoyed many Southern Tier Pumkings and Warlocks. Very solid. My wife liked cinnamon and sugar around the rim for her pumpkin ales which our local pub usually does. I don’t really have sweet tooth but it’s not a bad accent for that style.
I didn’t see slutty slave in blackface?
They haven’t voted yet, sheesh.
I didn’t want German, gay porn in my search history.
“LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — An outbreak of flea-borne typhus has hit downtown Los Angeles, the county Department of Public Health said Thursday.
Health officials say they are investigating several cases of flea-borne typhus, a disease that infected fleas can spread to humans. While the fleas can come from cats, rats, and opossums, pets and animals do not get sick from typhus.
In people, however, typhus can cause high fever, chills, headache, and rash. It is not transmitted from person to person and can be treated with antibiotics.”

Watching now at the campground with some Bell’s best Brown. Hilarious.
Is going as a Democrat cultural appropriation? Although this might be a little too passive and mature.

I’m going as slutty white(r) Obama.
Well he’s whiter than I am and I’m pretty damn white so good luck!
That looks like what they are showing is happening outside of congress right now…
Left wing “comedians” accost Brian Kilmeade from Fox and Friends through the streets of NY and onto the Subway where they encourage the mob to join in.
1. This wouldn’t happen.
2. Even it did, we all know which side is far less likely to resort to violence or even go along with this nonsense.

The Trump 2020 campaign coffers keep filling themselves.
I just ditch the skin suit, and walk around with an old guy carrying an amber topped cane.
I agree with Pie, pumpkins are for shooting not eating.
Pumpkins are for making ravioli di zucca and kadoo.
Mmmm, when’s dinner?
I have yet to try a pumpkin beer. Halloween I am going as gender fluid Brett Kavanaugh in a mini jurists robe and fishnets with a bent over Dr Ford blow up doll stuck to my crotch the back of which will double as a
quartersDevils Triangle table.I mean I would go as that but I will not be going anywhere.
You could dress up as the rarest thing of all today: a civil libertarian. Since so many have exposed themselves as preferring the presumption of guilt (at least when it’s woke to do so), I suppose a clown costume would be the appropriate dress for most ostensibly “civil libertarian” people today
What I wore to a Halloween party last year:
I was a Fallen Angel. Got a halo and the wings, but got a shirt that said “Let me tickle your tonsils” in the shape of a cock, and carried around a copy of Juggs and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s all night.
Shitlord af bruh
So all you did was wear a halo and wings with your everyday outfit?

FTA: Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women….
So now three is all you need to be “multiple “, even though it is only one sorta possibly credible, one crackpot and one super loony.
Even in simple word choices the mainstream media reveal how biased they are.

Oh that’s good
Ha!
That was priceless…
I was watching some football and decided to flip around and see what the political channels had going…. ooof. Our country is in a weird, weird place.
MSNBC had some lady on who was saying “they tell us that black lives don’t matter. When young black men are gunned down by police, they say black lives don’t matter. And when children are detained at the border, they tell us their lives don’t matter because they are brown. And now they are telling us that women’s lives don’t matter. The supreme court was our last line of defense against these people, and now they have politicized the supreme court. Where will our democracy turn now? Where can marginalized people go for justice? They have bastardized the supreme court. If you are black, or brown, or a woman, where do you go for justice?”.
Everyone nodded in agreement… and they moved on to discuss which republicans are most likely to be defeated because they voted for Kavanaugh. The expert with the final say came in to let us know that Collins vote was sealed a long time ago, and the Koch brothers would give her all the cash she needs to keep her seat. Because the only vote of conscience would be a vote against Kavenaugh, obviously.
These people are absolutely unhinged.
Never, ever, ever, ruin football Saturday (or Sunday) by watching more than 30 seconds of toxic political commentary.
I prescribe the antidote I use….white chili with chicken (which should be about done) and ice cold (cheap) beer.
Ribs cooking, should be done in about an 45 minutes. Some baked beans and pepper slaw, oh, and beer, yes life will be quite good.
Michell Bernard was the crazy racist lady. Now she’s on opining that there is no way that the Republicans would have fought for Kavanaugh if he wasn’t going to overturn Roe V Wade. She says the fact that they fought for his nomination if proof positive that they plan to overturn Roe V Wade.
Un. Hinged.
Peter Emmerson is the “expert” guy. He’s on now saying that Koch money is flowing freely to buy elections all over the country. He first insinuated that Koch money bought the votes to confirm Kavanaugh, and now he says the inevitable takeover of the house was in jeopardy because of a huge outpouring of money from the super wealthy, like the Kochs.
The same Kochs that have been actively trying to derail the mammal with the hat and the hair?
The very same. It is almost as if they are operating from a script playing in their head, instead of the reality they are facing.
I dont get where everyone thinks that a conservative (leaning SCOTUS) is going to make overturning Roe v. Wade some kind of priority? Groups scream that women’s reproductive rights are in jeopardy, but I havent heard a single elected official say “when (x) happens, THEN we’re making abortion illegal!”
Regardless of what side of that argument you’re on, I dont think abortion will ever be illegal in the US again.
It’s not. This is all about guns. I suspect your team stupid may attempt a bit of judicial activism to start knocking down state level gun control.
If they work it right they can probably get national carry through judicial fiat.
Basically team proggie made it cool, team stupid might actually make it work.
The far left is definitely wound up about Roe. All of the “believe her” nonsense has nothing to do with her or sexual assault or anything else. It is about Roe. They used that to try to fire up women in 2016. I’m not sure Trump would have ever mentioned it if they hadn’t started poking him on the issue.
Say what you want about Trump, he knows how to take your talking points and stick them in your eye.
If anything, punting that issue back to the states might turn several deep red states blue locally. Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Alabama governments might be pretty strongly anti-abortion right now… but if they actually had the opportunity to ban abortion and did it, there’s a pretty good chance that they’d get voted out.
Abortion is a very hot button issue, but when it becomes less theoretical there’s a really good chance that people are going to start thinking less theoretically and start thinking more practically.
Which is a long way of saying, yeah, you are probably right.
Abortion isnt nearly the winner you think it is in those states. None of those states are going blue because of an abortion ban.
They are solidly anti abortion now. I lived in Alabama for several years. I’m not sure that opinions don’t move when faced with the reality of a ban.
Alternatively, things could really come out in a different way.
Currently, no doctors perform abortions except special clinics. But I wonder if many OBGYN docs wouldn’t start performing first trimester DnC procedures as routine practice in an “abortion is illegal world”.
Impossible to say for sure what would happen… but people don’t usually eschew valued services simply because of prohibition. In fact, things are often more plentiful in the face of full prohibition than they are in the face of being legal, but severely regulated.
I don’t doubt that they’d continue to find ways to murder babies in the face of a ban, but I don’t think the demographics have shifted enough to change the politics in those states if a ban were implemented. Besides a bit of kvetchingat at the time of the change, I don’t think many middle grounders will go full on abortion support because of it.
ABORTION WITH NO RESTRICTIONS is really not that popular. Neither is BAN ALL ABORTIONS IN ALL CASES.
The poisonous legacy of Roe is that it handed the most extreme position on one side of the debate 100% total victory. It would be just as poisonous a legacy if a pro life court invented out of the whole cloth an emanation of penumbra that life begins at the moment of conception. Roe is poisonous because it created or at least solidified a doctrine of “if the Constitution is silent, then the judges should make up something” vs “If the Constitution is silent, the legislatures should legislate.”
From a more practical POV, the majority of people don’t think abortions are a good thing. You have the insane fanatics of the Left, to whom abortion is a positive moral good. The other ~70% of the country sees at as something between distasteful, a necessary evil, or as the premeditated murder of an infant.
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
“Abortion” is just shorthand for the entire slate of leftist claptrap they want to use to destroy the country. It gets the useful idiots in the trenches all fired up. The leaders don’t especially give a shit about it, because they know that – like you said – it will never be repealed.
Did Kav ever say or imply he would overturn Roe? Honestly, you’d think his opening remarks at his confirmation hearings were a detailed critique of Roe and how he would bend every effort to overturning it.
Raping is not all that fun unless you can force the victims to carry your child to term.
Are there even any serious challenges to it? After 40 years its pretty well established.
Meh. It just takes 1 case and 5 justices at the right time to modify or overturn it. With the right conditions, it might get modified/clarified (e.g. Gonzales v. Carhart), but it’s highly unlikely to get overturned (returning power over abortion law entirely to the states) and incredibly unlikely verging on inconceivable (“you keep using that word”) that it would get reversed the way many seem to think (abortion being illegal everywhere).
You want to have some fun – ask a liberal if they think we should treat abortion like most of Europe does. After all, proggies and lib-tards just love Europe, right? Most conservatives would be okay with it because it actually is a bit more restrictive than our current regime.
Of course if YOU aren’t paying for other people’s abortions (as in when you weren’t a party to the conception) you are some kind of woman-hating shit-lord amongst the loud and stupid.
The only thing I’ve ever seen anyone point to is the opinion he wrote where he said processing an illegal immigrant and sending her to a detention center before terminating her child wouldn’t interfere with her right to an abortion, which isn’t supporting unfettered, on demand access . Collins, in her speech, said he had all but assured her that he considered Roe, the cases it was built upon and the one that followed, to be settled law. Everything else I’ve read says he doesn’t like to overturn precedent. But I’m no expert.
That paired with Trump’s promise to only appoint judges that would overturn Roe proves that all abortion will be illegal and democracy is dead.
It’s hilarious. I haven’t seen any indication that a case that would overturn Roe v. Wade is imminent, but I’ve been seeing hysterical “here’s how to get a back-alley abortion” and “make sure you order tons of Plan B now while it’s still legal” posts going around on social media for weeks now.
Also, hi guys.
Long time, no see. How is things?
Good! The book I spent way too much time working on came out a couple weeks ago, so now I can take a little break. My next deadline is in April so I’ve finally got some free time.
Kathy Charlton getting her moment in the limelight. She’s super convinced that she has proof that Kavanaugh is guilty of perjury. Well, she didn’t say that. But that’s what MSNBC put on the chiron.
Anyway, what she did say is that she talked with a friend from school after a reporter contacted her about the Ramirez allegation. He then said that he talked to Kavanaugh. So she runs to the press with that. So he texts her with a “WTF was that?” message. Which she runs to the press with.
See, that proves that he was trying to cover up his guilt. Totally.
Anyway, she spent about 15 minutes explaining how many ways she tried to tell the FBI that she had this super serious information.
Because when asked when he became aware of the Ramirez allegation, he said something like “uh.. recently.. .uh in the time since…. uh.. the story… the New Yorker…”
So she says this is proof that he knew about it before the story was published (by a couple of days). Therefore, perjury.
These people are mentally ill.

I’m not really a fan of pumpkin beer, or any fruity beer, but I actually enjoyed the Brooklyn brewery pumpkin beer, fwiw. Just enough of the flavor so you know what you’re drinking but not overwhelming or too sweet.
Most pumpkin beer I don’t find sweet at all.
This whole Kavinaugh thing really shows that these people don’t think about unintended consequences. The way this was handled probably flipped at least 4 R no votes to yes, and has people even here who were against the guy rooting for him to win. What a shit show.
They were willing to burn down the country to stop him. Now, I suspect, that when the consequences of this shitstorm they created results in so many people seeing how callous and downright despicable they are in their pursuit of power, it will end up torpedoing their dreams of a major midterm victory, which will really make the crazy shit go to a whole new level. Of course, I suspect that if they get violent, they will not like how that plays out for them considering the people they will fuck with have guns and will fight back.
Oh and I’m thinking of creating some nifty banners for regular contributors to put on their articles, so if you have a request for something like that let me know.
Vox has perhaps been the most batshit of the left wing sites covering the Kavanaugh hearings. They’re being clear – Kavanaugh delegitimizes the court. Unfortunately for them, the amount of respect they have for its rulings doesn’t change the fact that they will have to abide by them.
I remember hearing about Vox maybe four years ago, being favorably impressed by their site design, and then having a hard time actually believing that any of the articles weren’t parody. That place is absolutely bonkers.
“..woke up to the radical right that’s run the court….”
Uhh…..have I been asleep for the past, oh….20 years?
Vox. Commie shitweasels, complete useful idiots. Those dumbasses will be the first ones up against the wall and have no idea how they got there.

Before I got to the word “Rugby” I was picturing a bunch of Turks slashing the shit out of diamond-patterned costumed mimes who couldn’t even scream.
YES.
Our local CostCo has the Pumking and I found it to be quite tasty. Today I picked up Elysian’s Punkaccino Coffee Pumpkin Ale and The Great Pumpkin Imperial Pumpkin Ale; the Punkaccino was quite nice last time so I grabbed it again and figured to give their other one a go. We grabbed the Stone 22nd Anniversary Anni-Matter Double IPA; my 4 yo. is obsessed with gargoyles right now and he insisted upon seeing the label. I am, however, most excited about the Founder’s Curmudgeon’s Better Half Old Ale Brewed With Molasses And Aged In Maple Syrup Bourbon Barrels; I’ve very much enjoyed everything I’ve had from Founders.
Oklahoma tied up that game too sooner.
Well the shit show is over. The Dems showed their anti-liberty bias yet again to no positive impact to them. BK is problematic to me on the 4A and other issues but DiFi, Hirono and Moobs turned me into a “fuck it, confirm him”
I was in the “well something must have happened to her, even if it was not BK” camp to a firm member of the “she is a lying Dem operative who probably did not have any event that resembles her testimony” camp. The inconsistency of her statements, the lack of any corroboration, the reports of her supporters trying to pressure her “witnesses” into perjury, the the scrubbing of media presence, releasing her medical files to the Wash Post but not the FBI and the absolutely stunning silence of her immediate family to support her all convinced me to alter my opinion.
I don’t know why I punish myself, but I watched several of the “No” senators’ speeches. Holy crap these people are so dishonest. Basically a few senators were all like “SOOO many women have come forward to me to talk about their experiences…” WTF does that have to do with this?
Then there’s the screeching protesters. Lol, what tools.
“I don’t know why I punish myself, but I watched several of the “No” senators’ speeches. Holy crap these people are so dishonest”
What freaks me out are the people that don’t see or choose not to see that…
Yyyyyep. Kinda hard to come to any other conclusion.
So who’s throwing the kegger to celebrate?
My thoughts are exactly the same. Add in the disgraceful and mendacious way the Dems and media handled themselves, the ridiculous additional allegations and the way the conversation turned to his drinking in HS/college as evidence why he couldn’t do the job. Everything just screamed railroading they thought would push him out immediately and they wouldn’t be called on to show their hand.
I was in the “well something must have happened to her, even if it was not BK” camp to a firm member of the “she is a lying Dem operative who probably did not have any event that resembles her testimony” camp.
After seeing how intensely this circus boomeranged back on the Dems, I’m now a firm member of the “she is a lying GOP operative” camp.
Just kidding and we’ll see how the midterms turn out, but talk about reaping the whirlwind.
Pumpkin.
A couple of halloweens ago we had a spare, leftover pumpkin.
I cut a hole in it and put a pound of tannerite in it. Holy shit, pumpkin was falling out of the sky for ten minutes. That was fun. The following spring I had pumpkin vines sprouting over about 3 acres.
Now that’s funny. Law of unintended consequences.
Did you work for the Oregon Highway Department in a past life?
#SaveTheWhales
This is it, boys and girls. We have officially descended into Lord of the Flies territory. When RBG croaks, Trump will have to nominate a mass murdering cannibal necrophiliac if he wants to stay ahead of the shit flingers.
Too bad Charles Manson is no longer available.
Yeah, we think this one was fun. The RBG replacement will be epic.
I am hoping that happens while orangeman is still POTUS and he puts another constitutionalist on the court. I want to see the left lose their fucking shit. I hate the fucking socialism peddling asshats.
If Trump gets a second term, it’s almost a guarantee that she won’t last. She’s half dead already. I think many progs would have to legitimately be put on suicide watch if Trump gets to replace her.
Is it wrong that I pray this plays out like you just said it would?
I feel no sympathy for those whose main goal is to institute policy that enslaves me.
Why would you put them on suicide watch? Just to get video I hope.
Pay-per-view event of the year.
And don’t forget that Breyer is 80. A long shot but he could get two more picks.
If Trump gets two picks there will be blood in the streets. The Progs have completely lost their minds, and I don’t think they can take another setback without going completely apeshit.
And it will be proggy blood.
On FB, I said I wanted RGB to kick it so Barrett could take her place, and some asshat called me out for wishing death on somebody. Dude, RGB is OLD. It’s not a wish or a hope. It’s an inevitability.
Then again, maybe I really am just that cold, heartless, and not-classy.
The democrats are fucking furious that their scorched earth campaign has basically done nothing but expose them for power hungry political hacks. This orange guy is really starting to make me think this country not only dodged a huge bullet when Hillary was denied the WH, but might have a chance to avoid the fate that team blue wabted to foist on us. Then again, I suspect team red will find a way to fuck this up unless they finally realized the way to fight team blue is to use expect dirty tactics and deal with that accordingly.
Now I need to go find me some progs to collect those sweet tears. I hear they make for the best home brewed beer.
Do they not have editors?
I’m pretty sure he was the only Democrat to vote for him, not against.
Yeah. Semi-related, I saw a most amusing typo today scanning through all the news. The guy who doxed the GOP senators and got clipped for it; his name is Cosko. Midway through the article they accidentally referred to him as “Cocko”.
I loled.
Hopefully Bubba gives him some of that typo in prison. I have no love for people that do this sort of cowardly and low shit like he was doing. Where are all the asshats that always want to do it for the children now that we know this douchebag was trying to do the same to the children of team red asshats?
GOP politicians (and, increasingly, voters) are viewed as subhuman by the prog industrial complex. I’m willing to bet they have masturbatory fantasies about “exterminating the vermin”. And the GOP are the Nazis. Right…
Democrats hope that the roll call, exactly a month from elections in which House and Senate control are in play, will prompt infuriated women and liberals to stream to the polls to oust Republicans.
Hahahahahahaha.
I’ve talked to multiple women, including my wife, who’ve said they were so outraged about this shit that they are going to vote for sure, and will vote straight Republican. And polls are showing the Rs have incredible momentum right now.
Even if Ford was 100% true, which they all doubted, they still felt that some tipsy boy jumping on you for a couple minutes in high school was no big deal, they’d all been through worse at high school parties, but they didn’t make a big stink about it, in fact usually forgave them and remained friends. As one told me, “how in the world could teen roughhousing be some traumatic event that changed your life? She’s so full of crap.”
The whole thing demonstrates how the Dems really view women; simultaneously as helpless victims and pawns to be used in a quest for power. How insulting is it that their opinion of women is so low that they think a drunken grope in high school will permanently traumatize them? Most women (and men for that matter) had those kind of interactions in high school and college. Usually a slap, a strong word or an angry boyfriend were enough to settle the situation and move on. Now it’s a scar that can never be healed, like going to war or something. The women in my life would never appreciate being treated that condescendingly.
Just remember that these are the people that believe in the concept of safe spaces and that free speech is a bad idea because it protects those that might say something insulting, and you can see why everything and anything they might not like suddenly is a traumatic event..
My wife became a republican this morning. And she came out swinging.
Euphemism? Pics?
She’s been apolitical for most of her life, but leaned to the left on women’s issues. Not anymore.
She was fucking BRUTAL on Facebook this morning.
To our close friend from college who posted a #MeToo
“I was there. Getting caught cheating on your boyfriend isn’t sexual assault”
To a guy friend from law school who posted #IBelieveHer and claimed that both of his young daughters will one day be sexually assaulted and won’t have the courage to tell him:
“It almost sounds like that’s what you want. I hope you got the attention you were looking for”
“claimed that both of his young daughters will one day be sexually assaulted and won’t have the courage to tell him”
That’s disturbing: one of my friends posted something similar. Something about he knows his daughter will tell him if shes assaulted by a stranger or a creepy guy she knows. But she needs to be most careful of the nice guy, the good friend. Because he could assault and she’ll be left wondering if she was really assaulted. I’m not a parent (and unlikely to be one), but some of this seems to be setting up a very unhealthy society about 10 years down the road.
Damn! Good on Mrs Playa.
Now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed and the Pachyderms are actually benefitting politically:
https://www.investors.com/politics/trump-approval-rating-ibd-tip-poll/
Do you think that maybe, just maybe, they’ve learned something about actually standing their ground against the insanity of the Jackasses?
I suspect that many of them that used to complain about Trump’s ways will realize that the only reason they defeated what amounts to a campaign of deceptive lies and scorched earth by the jackasses is that they decided to play by the rules the jackasses play bye, and that will change some of them Q. At a minimum the ones that get it will now put pressure on the ones that still don’t get that the other side fights using prison rules and you will end up beaten and sold off as a bitch if you don’t show up and fight that fight by the same rules.
It was pretty nice to see Graham actually locate his gonads during this process. When he gets going, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Again I point out that the thing that stands out to me about Graham finally rising up to the challenge is that he no longer has that asshat McCain whispering in his ears.
Zombie McCain is a douchebag for holding Lindsey back.
He obviously likes Trump dick better than McCain dick.
It’s the classiest!
Sure, look at Graham. I still can’t stand him but he’s becoming less contemptible and certainly more effective.
Anyone else in office besides Trump would have caved.
And I hope that the team red asshats realize that he won because he chose to play by the same rules the fucking team blue criminals play bye.
Don’t get too excited, by this time next week they’ll all be hobknobbing on the golf course and at cocktail parties. This was all a show for the little people. They’re still the brothers from Trading places making bets on on poor schlubs for kicks.
I’ve been told repeatedly that women never, ever lie about this kind of stuff and would never dream of using it to simply punish and slander men they don’t like.

Good Lord, talk about a defamation lawsuit waiting to happen.
I expect that there is a lot more of this out there than people would think happens in their worst nightmares. Remember that men usually fight and it is physical, while women resort to conniving and devious tactics. I have seen how women deal with each other in an office and I have to tell you they are not just viscous but oft outright insanely evil. Now that they are getting told they can do the same to men and they will immediately get the benefit of being seen as being honest if they accuse any man of anything, this instinct will only make things even fucking worse for everyone. Lucky for us some women are seeing how this plays out when it is done to their fathers, brothers, sons, and husbands, and they are actually fighting that nonsense back.
I agree that they’re sticky and evil.
HA! I won a cowboy squirrel in Sloopy’s auction!
What the eff am I going to do with a stuffed squirrel?
I’m thinking some kind of stop motion, stuffed animal/action figure porno.
I would watch that.
Put it on a stake pour encourager les autres.
That could actually work…
What are you going to do with it? Give it to Banjos. I think she was coveting the cowboy squirrels.
put it in the server room at work, then maybe one of the squirrels will be on your side.
Plus he’s armed, so he can keep the he others in line.
That shit heel Lisa Murkowski withdrew her vote against and simply went with present. What a joke.
She is scared because the might get railroaded back in Alaska for having voted either way.
Refusing to take a stand on this issue will just piss everyone off.
It was the establishment Rs that put her in there against the state party’s primary results, she’s one of them and will be protected.
She continues to baffle me. She comes from one of the reddest states in the Union, is she trying to get primaried? I’ve heard rumblings about Sarah Palin trying to primary her in 2020. If that happened, the prog screeching would be priceless.
It was to offset Daines’s absence because of his kid’s wedding. Something something senate gentleman’s agreement.
So she gets to do “the right thing” and follow the traditions of the Senate while avoiding a permanent record of a “no” vote.
It’s the smart thing to do or an act of craven cowardice. We’ll have to wait to see the campaign ads to know for sure.
Both.
“Present” is the same as “no”, I think.
The final tally was 50-48. “Present” is “abstain”.
New York abstained courteously from the Declaration of Independence vote.
Sorta. It meant neither Daines nor Murkowski was counted. There were not 100 votes; there were 98 total.
If she had voted no, it would have been 50-49. Wouldn’t the outcome have been the same?
As kinnath says, it was an act of cowardice (hiding from a yes or no vote behind doing a traditional favor for a colleague) and/or a smart thing to do for her reelection prospects. IOW, it was a show to hedge her bets with her constituency.
Ask Obama. It was his favorite.
OBE’s Smoker Menu: Smoked chipotle-honey chicken leg quarters with mashed cauliflower.
Glad the first phase of the DC shitshow is over but I think it opened up the playbook and I feel like Henry Winkler in Waterboy…looking at the Dems like they all have baby heads.
For the movie fans out there, this actually looks like a lot of fun. Lots of great creators on board for it already. Not the same production team as “Not Quite Hollywood” and “Machete Maidens Unleashed”, but the same tone I think.
Looks interesting, but them putting Reagan into the mural of movie monsters on the poster has me worried they’ll try and mix in politics.
What? I’m not seeing him on any posters – the one on the front page just has horror movie characters.
Wait…I see it on the other poster – middle portion. Assuming it’ll be for context stuff re: “They Live” or something similar or for the metal controversy (admittedly mostly congress). For the 80s, it’s kinda relevant culturally, but I doubt it’ll be a big portion.
OTOH “Not Quite Hollywood” had some very interesting political context for the Australian film scene that really fleshed out the context of the flicks themselves. That film’s available on DVD at netflix, but they do have “Electric Boogaloo” on streaming.
That looks cool. I’m a huge horror fan, and I love hearing about the behind-the-scenes stuff.
Melania wore a white hat in Africa. You’ll never believe what happened next.
Acrually, I do believe it since somebody posted it last night or this morning. :-p
Chris Matthews is unhinged.
Asking how crying and”scarediness”(his word, not mine) are now the leadership qualities of the GOP.
Someone should ask him if they can collect some prog tears for their beer brewing.
I didn’t watch it very long and all my barrels are full.
So what do you glibs think of this..
I am not surprised in the least. There’s a lot of emotional hysterics and no adults in the room to settle these people down. You’re going to wind up with a bunch of vegetarian cat-ladies pushing somebody too far and somebody’s going to get hurt. Or, God forbid, all this doomsday rhetoric is going to encourage someone with a tenuous grasp on reality to start shooting suspected Trump supporters.
You mean like James Hodgkinson?
Yep, just like him. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if after all this shit another episode like that goes down.
I don’t know if Kristen is around, but Ruka opened this weekend
And here are the webcams from Levi.
Anyone else in office besides Trump would have caved.
Jeb Bush would have crawled, naked, on his hands and knees to the Capitol to beg his good friends the Democrats to provide the name of an appropriate “compromise” candidate.
Fuck him and the rest of the establishment types.
Well damn – just when I thought my tear rain barrels were getting empty…
Has any of the more daring (and trained) Glibs visited the lefty fever swamp sites? I dare not for my mental health.
The gun show was a sea of high prices and plastic guns. I managed to score a deal though. ANIB Sig P239 LE model in .40 for cheap.
Ya right now anything in .40 cal is stupid cheap. This country has been deeply divided along .45 and 9mm lines.
Co-worker of mine had a .40 cal handgun – been so long that I forgot the brand! – but it was a good shootin’ gun. Easier to control than the .45 we rented at the gun range.
I love my glock 23. Not nearly as snappy recoil as I thought, given the online reviews.
So, like every gun show now a days?
I bought a M&P .40C during one of the great ammo shortages because .40 was still available while 9mm and ,45 were gone.
Pretty much. I still enjoy going occasionally though. It was packed, so I’m not the only one. Plus, seeing a big and diverse crowd gives me some optimism about 2A supporters.

This day is the saddest & angriest of my time in the Senate. The Republicans have succeeded in confirming a dangerous & deeply flawed nominee only by breaking all the rules & norms. The damage done today will be enduring—to the United States Supreme Court & to our country.

Is it worse than Vietnam ?
I love this lady for telling this asshat to fuck off.
“only by breaking all the rules & norms.”
Can the left do ANYTHING without projection? ANYTHING????
BTW, I want to thank Harry Reid whom is responsible for forcing that 51 vote threshold when he wanted to circumvent the game during the Obama years for again proving my point that when all you think of is how to get more power for yourself and you ignore the checks & balances, eventually you will be subject to that shortcut you made. The irony that Trump has now put 2 judges on the court, including the swing vote, because Reid blew up the game so he could powerplay for Obama, is just priceless.
and the real irony of this is that since the left is much more lock step than the right, removing the weapon the minority had to force compromises benefits Team R more than Team D. The left used to be able to force Republicans to nominate ‘moderates’ even when they were a minority in the Senate, and moderates of either side tend to be more swayed by the media storm the left mobilizes on every issue. Not any longer.
Not a big pumpkin fan but I love apple and cinnamon for a fall flavor. I used to get Angry Orchard’s Cinnful Apple every fall, but it looks like they’re not doing their seasonal flavors anymore. So I looked to see if I could find anything similar and got Cider Boys’ Mad Bark. I actually like it a little better than the Angry Orchard. The apple flavor is stronger.
I am an occasional cider drinker, usually Angry Orchard, but I will try the Mad Bark.

YAY!
The I liked beer, I still like beer GIF is great and will become a t-shirt if my printer still works.
I managed to score a deal though. ANIB Sig P239 LE model in .40 for cheap.
I saw a sale circular from a local sporting goods store for factory reconditioned P226s in .357 Sig and .40.
I did not rush out and buy one.
3 mags, bright night sights, unfired since the factory – $425 out the door. Plus, I love metal framed Sigs and already stock .40.
This day is the saddest & angriest of my time in the Senate.
I recommend ritual suicide, Senator Blumenthal. Set yourself on fire, and see if anybody stops to piss on you.
Local pub out here did a charity dinner for Pipes and Pours. What a fun night with my FIL. Last night was a battle between Scotland and Ireland and clearly the Scots won with their choices paired with the food.
I spent too much money on a silent auction for some 12 yr Balvenie Doublewood. Came with a cool set to include a pour glass and a mini flask they call the Dipping Dog
