Can it get any richer than serial legitimizer of dictator’s elections, Jimmy Carter, calling on the GA Secretary of State to resign? Jimmy, your heart may be in the right place, but you’ve had your head all the way up your ass on this issue for 30+ years.
I’m hoping this was one of you guys, running a Ron Swanson-style campaign of benevolent incompetence and mayhem. If so, we’ll start a GoFundMe for you.

She had her belly button removed? Why didn’t she just bondo it up, like Barbara Eden?
Now there’s a whole lotta crazy.
You’d find it crazy for a hot woman to call you Master and grant your every wish?
I meant the chick in the article.
Just because Carter says something doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
not first!
But so far, it’s worked out that way.
You’re talking about Nell Carter, right?
Oh geez, gimme a break…
Nell Carter. Thicc?
Not anymore
“Just because Carter says something doesn’t mean he’s wrong.”
Sorry Don, but I am gonna have to disagree with that.
The first time Jimmy Carter ran for election (Georgia Senate in 1962), he was defeated in the primary due to voter fraud (begin at section “Community Involvement and Political Aspirations”. Brian Kemp should just explain to Jimmy that Kemp is trying to protect the integrity of Georgia elections.
Whoa. What a rush man!
Better
Agreed. Funny for a song with a basically psychedelic structure to be written by a guy who is so anti-drug.

If she wants to have a belly button again, can’t she just get a cheap used one at the Navel Reserve?
I think you need to go sit in the corner for a while.
orange you funny with the navel jokes….
Nah, they ran outtie
God C, I dont have a boo big enough for that one.
That was deliciously terrible. Boo-vo!
You are sooo lucky Switzy was army.
Did the navel gaze back, though?
I will be so disappointed if he doesn’t turn it into a doorbell to his house.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7588804/woman-belly-button-removed-sent-boyfriend-connection-mum/
Like most women, she would look much better without all the tattoos.
Landeros, from Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, decided to have her belly button removed in an act of revenge against her estranged family, The Sun reports.
After the removal, she sent the belly button to her then-boyfriend as a “present.”
This is where I noped out of the article. Call me squeamish, but this is some Slenderman shit – if I keep reading, I fully expect a bellybutton in my mail.
Hot/crazy matrix fail. And that’s without the ink.
“because she wanted to break all connection with her mum”
Apparently, she doesn’t know about DNA.
Did you just relink one of the links?
Nope. Different link, this one with a picture of the nutter.

She is pretty much the exact stereotype of “those people” plucked from my head.
The HR intern and tourism student explained
…
If he really loved her, he would have eaten it.
You would say that, bro.
Also… Is her left arm in blackface?
I believe that’s all tattoo. I always thought those were too cover up previous poor choices, but now I’m not sure. Anyone know?
Anyone know how to say “skank” in Spanish?

There are folks that get them. They are called blackout tattoos. It is something of a minimalist trend.
I generally like ink but I think that’s dumb.
Is it really minimalist if you get a an entire limb blacked out?
Well…it’s all one color with none of that fancy line work or anything…
More is less.
Minimalism is subtle. Like a couple of strokes painted with a 00 brush that speak volumes. This is like slathering paint on with a pressure roller.
Maybe you’re just not looking close enough?
The quality of her other tattoos doesn’t just draw you in?
My new secret wish is for the Dems to attempt to impeach Kavenaugh for lying about having a blackout tattoo.

That’s the lead singer of a German joke-metal band called Knorkator (pretty good music and funny lyrics as well). It looks like he has something close to a “blackout” on his entire left torso.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Was there a picture in that article that I missed?
See the article to which Count Potato linked in comment 6 above.

It’s a testament to your skills that this is one of the less revolting things you’ve ever posted.
Kemp has been under fire for deciding to purge tens of thousands of voters from the voter rolls — months after declaring his intent to run for governor.
To be fair, eating tens of thousands of voters is a tall task.

Something something rhetoric something something violence.
Florida law enforcement officials said on Monday that several shots were fired into the Volusia County Republican Party’s office in South Daytona, which resulted in shattered windows and damaged drywall.
South Daytona police Capt. Mark Cheatham said the shooting happened sometime between Sunday evening and Monday morning, The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.
“At this point we can confirm that at least four rounds were fired into the building,” Cheatham said. “We are working to see if we can get video from nearby businesses but so far we have no witnesses.”
The commenters of Slate have already declared this a false flag.
Since only Republicans own firearms, I believe they are correct.
Perfect logic.

Wait. did she really marry her brother? WTH?
The claim is immigration fraud. I think she just watched too much incest porn.
No, Occasional-Cortex did not marry her brother. That’s the soon-to-be-Rep from Minnesota, Ilan Omar. Probably immigration fraud, possibly some other kind of fraud. They got divorced. He has conveniently left the country while she is running for Congress, and is unavailable to assist with untangling what must be a very interesting family tree.
That family tree doesn’t fork does it.
You mean ‘family stick’.

If you guys want to understand why Trump is not pursuing her criminally, there’s your answer.
Hillary under indictment becomes a rallying cry for the Democrats while keeping her out of the campaign trail.
Hillary free to pursue her dreams continues to act as a fifth column to elect Donald Trump.
I never thought of that angle…if that’s really the reason the man’s a damn genius.
I don’t want her under indictment. I want her in prison.
Very good point.
You’re Bill Clinton?
Note to self: Keep reading.
You’d think Acosta would eventually learn his lesson.
Acosta was upset when Trump called out the media Monday on Twitter for reporting inaccurate and false information, saying, “Fake News Must End!”
“There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news,” Trump tweeted. “The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly. That will do much to put out the flame of Anger and Outrage and we will then be able to bring all sides together in Peace and Harmony. Fake News Must End!”
“Shouldn’t you reserve the term ‘enemy’ for people who are actually the enemy of the United States rather than journalists?” Acosta asked.
“The president is not referencing all media, he’s talking about the growing amount of fake news that exists in the country and the president’s calling that out,” Sanders replied.
Acosta shouted over other reporters to ask a follow-up question, asking Sanders to state for the record which news outlets the administration considered to be “the enemy of the people.”
“Those individuals probably know who they are,” Sanders fired back.
Pwnd.
Sanders handles him like a cat playing with a mouse.

“‘Nothing to Gain,’ Kavanaugh Accuser Raises Nearly $1 Million
“You had absolutely nothing to gain by bringing these facts to the Senate Judiciary Committee,” Sen. Dick Durbin said during her testimony last month. This sentiment was echoed by other Democrats, who presented it as evidence that Ford was telling the truth. “I want to thank you,” added California Sen. Kamala Harris, “because you clearly have nothing to gain for what you have done.”
In fact, Ford stands to gain some $1 million and counting from national crowdfunding campaigns launched by friends and other supporters, while she is said to be fielding book offers.
The potential seven-figure windfall, which she says she intends to cash in on – while still asking donors for more money – has some questioning her motivation for accusing the conservative judge after 35 years of silence, and whether it goes beyond personal or even political justice. Others worry the largesse sets a dangerous precedent: Crowdfunding, which unlike political donations is unregulated, could be routinely used in the future as a bounty for providing political dirt on opponents.
Two GoFundMe accounts have raised more than $842,000 for Ford, and the money is still coming in weeks after she testified and left the spotlight. The total does not include a third account collecting $120,000 for an academic endowment in her name.”
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/10/27/nothing_to_gain_kavanaugh_accusers_coffers_are_growing.html
So a million big ones for about four hours of testimony. Nice work if you can get it.

Bloomberg makes $1.5M donation to oppose grocery tax ban in Oregon
That troll needs a case of drooling dementia. Fuck him.
Bloomberg’s hatred towards the poor and racial minorities is utterly staggering. The fact that he gets away with it is even more staggering.
I kind of want him to win the D primary for 2020, just so he can get a good months long tongue-lashing from Trump – including three debates. Few people deserve it more. Although on the other hand I don’t want to risk him winning (although on the other, other hand, he might be the best D option).
Clinton supposedly really, really wanted Trump to win the primary, so be careful what you wish for…
No shit. I would point and laugh if he had a stroke and ended up with locking in syndrome.
Am I understanding correctly that Bloomberg wants the state to be able to increase the price of food?
Why does he want poor people to starve?
So he can come in and help them afterwards.
He’s doing it out of altruism!
Because one of the side effects of a blanket grocery tax ban is that it would probably prohibit taxes on soda and junk food, his pet causes.
That’s it…

“Professor Put On Leave After 30-year-old Sexual Misconduct Claim Surfaces
Earlier this month, the Washington Post published an article about women rethinking past encounters and now seeing them as sexual assault or harassment. The main story in the article was from a woman named Ruth D’Eredita, who claims a professor at Mount Holyoke College groped her and kissed her while she was a student there in the 1980s.
D’Eredita graduated in 1984, but after watching other women make claims as part of the #MeToo movement, she now has decided whatever happened 30 years ago must be held against the professor using today’s standards.”

It was a guest on a panel show and the very next guest calls her out for the stupid claim. Not sure why CNN gets credit for her view and not his, but I guess outrage gonna outrage.
Because CNN (any show producer at any halfway-professional level, actually) knows who their invitees are, and what they are going to say before the show begins? With pre-scripted exchanges and trial runs?
Okay even if* CNN engineered the exchange, that still doesn’t explain why her opinions are attributed to CNN and not his. They were both invited on, both given the same platform, etc. Also while I’m here, why are these opinion shows/commentary bits conflated as news or Fake news, I don’t even have a TV but I housesat at this weekend and watched what I could stomach and 99% of the crap on CNN/FOX/et al is neither, it’s idiots bandying about talking points.
*not sure I beleive that, but I’ll assume it’s the case.
I haven’t seen the particular exchange, but I can tell you from first hand experience (not at the CNN level) that nobody on there was an accident. As to which people are to be given “credit,” consider:
1. How many people were on the panel? Odd number? Majority opinion is the majority because the host wants them to be the majority.
2. Which of the panelists are agreeing with the host employee?
3. What are the panelists NOT disagreeing on? Particularly if the purported topic of discussion ends up not being an actual point of contention. For example (and yes, this actually occurred) TOPIC: SHOULD MUGABE EXPROPRIATE THE LAND OF WHITE FARMERS? Panelist 1. “Yes, he should, but the farmers should not be beaten raped, or killed” Panelist 2 “Talk about the rape and murder of white farmers is grossly exaggerated and is being spread by opposition politicians for their own ends.”
“The FBI has indicated that white nationalist terror is as great a threat to America as ISIS. Donald Trump very obviously has a lot to do with that. I know you’re a Rush Baby who was a conservative pundit since high school, but this willful ignorance is harmful and foolish.”

What do you think “By Any Means Necessary” means?
Try and fail in a spectacularly embarrassing manner?
The Atlantic, in their “Twitter taxonomy” of the alt-right (which opens by tying it all to Trump and the recent attacks), manages to sneak in “Libertarians and anarchists” between “Shitposters” and “The manosphere”. While the inclusion may be disingenuous, the actual description was surprisingly accurate:
Such extremism.
“Everyone who disagrees with us is an extremist.”
-The Atlantic
If you’re not with us, you’re against us.
If you’re not with us, you’re extremely against us.You extremist whacko bird!
I remember during the pearl clutching over militias, how they would include home schoolers and militias in the same sentence about those anti-government wackos. Nothing against the State!
“..The end of Trump’s unchecked presidency, whether it comes through electoral, political, or constitutional means, will not solve this problem in the near term. In fact, it will probably further consolidate the far right around his personality and leadership, at least temporarily. Almost any imaginable circumstance under which Trump leaves office is likely to coincide with a wave of violence even greater than what we are currently experiencing. This has gone too far; there is no easy way back.
But there is no way back at all that leads through the status quo. The gravitational field of the presidency is unparalleled in U.S. culture—arguably unparalleled in the world. For as long as the center holds, the alt-right’s component parts and adjacent movements will continue to be drawn into Trump’s orbit, with an increasing sense of empowerment and license to act. Until the tide stops rising, their boats will continue to sail. The past week was just a taste of what that dystopian future could look like.”
Holy. Jesus. Jaw dropping. Fuck.
No person with a working knowledge of history could possibly utter such rubbish. Especially in the 2nd paragraph. Wow.
I’m sorry, can someone please translate that from derp to English? I honestly can’t figure out what it is they’re trying to say there.
TL;DR — That is a call to war. Trump and his followers are so extreme that only extreme measures can be used against him.
That’s what I got too. I might expect that kind of talk from a blog somewhere or one of the nutcase commenters at Democratic Underground but not the Atlantic. They really need to be more careful with their rhetoric.
My read is that it’s a poorly written screed justifying pre-emptive violence against Trump supporters since as long as people remain “moderate” they’re not doing anything to actively counter the violence that’s certain to happen when Trump’s term is up.
Kind of blending “words are violence”, “if you’re not with us you’re against us” and “evil flourishes when good men do nothing” with a heaping helping of cognitive dissonance and projection on top.
Isn’t their job to convey a message lucidly?
Even at that they fail.
Almost any imaginable circumstance under which Trump leaves office is likely to coincide with a wave of violence even greater than what we are currently experiencing.
Bullshit. I can think of a couple. Trump serves out his term, loses in 2020 and retires. No violence. No “alt-right” (at this point that term is meaningless) social unrest. Or how about this one. Trump serves out his term, wins in 2020, serves out his second term and retires. Again, no actual problem. But, that’s not what these sociopaths want. The only outcome acceptable to them is “they remove him”. And I’m quickly becoming very convinced that this isn’t really about Trump. Or is only nominally about Trump. This is about the rest of us. They want to impose their control over every element of our society that isn’t part of their orbit. For them, this really is about a boot stomping on a human face, forever. And that’s why a normal election isn’t something they can accept. Because Trump transitioning power over in the normal course of American electoral politics means whoever replaces him, even if its one of their own, is still bound by the messy back-and-forth of American electoral politics. It means he or she is still bound by the same traditions and Constitutional order to respect the limits on his or her authority. We saw a preview of it with “a phone and a pen”. The progressives now want to multiply that form of rule by orders of magnitude.
As I mentioned in the past two civil war articles, the right will be pissed if Trump is removed from office by the progs via impeachment. Anything short of that (including losing 2020) will not trigger violence.
Completely agreed. But, increasingly, I’m finding myself thinking that the normal course of political back-and-forth is precisely what the leftists aren’t aiming for in removing Donald Trump. I mean, how the hell do they think they’re even going to impeach him? The Senate isn’t going to have the votes they’re looking for. Honestly, I get the impression that some part of the progressive movement is trying to psych itself up to push for a coup or a violent revolution of some sort.
I had not put it together consciously, but that’s what I’ve been trying to mentally articulate, if you will. That’s scary.
But people who do have a working knowledge of history will recognize this behavior, rationale and rhetoric. We have seen it all before, over and over. Leftists are always and everywhere the same. They all come out of the same cookie-cutter.
No person with a working knowledge of history could possibly utter such rubbish. Especially in the 2nd paragraph. Wow.
If this was written sometime between 2008 and 2016 it would be dead-on accurate.
…unlike my HTML tags.
Wave of Violence? What Wave?
I realize the point was to link to no shit white nationalists, but isn’t that as fair a thing they can actually say about libertarians?
Low taxes and gun rights = Literally National Socialism.
Yes, but that’s why I mentioned it. The whole thing surprised me and came out of left field – libertarians are in league with racists, but they mostly sit in the corner complaining about taxes and gun control? To me, that seemed more devious than a casual defamatory cry of “racist” – the specific charge is true, but it is wrapped in a greater narrative which is false. The half-truth is often more effective than the outright lie.
Of course they think we’re racist. Best way to lie is to include parts that are true.
What’s funny is, most self-described “anarchists” in the US are, on examination, hardcore leftists. Indeed, I suspect that Antifa is just the Black Bloc rebranded.

I fully support the ban of all AK-15’s if it will get the left to shut up about further bans.
I was wondering this the other day. If we sacrificed one specific model of firearm, the current boogerman, to the angry mob, what would happen?
I know what the answer is, but it was nice to fantasize for a minute that they might be satisfied.
Then next week they come after another model, and now they have a precedent for doing so.
Exactly. Gun banning is a one way ratchet towards a goal of banning all of them. They will never be satiated. And when all the guns are banned, they’ll turn on kitchen knives and screwdrivers.
Yes, because they will never be satisfied so long as you have any means of defending yourself. There is nothing you can give to them that will placate them. They will never leave you alone.
Remember when it was the Saturday NIght Special?
Look at Airstrip 1. They will be satisfied when you can be arrested for having a spoon in your pocket.
They want you completely unable to defend yourself. I will let you speculate as to why that is.

If I shelled out a ton of money to purchase 122 acres of land, I wouldn’t be able to handle the fact that I have to crawl on my belly to a city council to beg their permission to build what I want there. And even if I could suppress the urge to tell them to go fuck themselves, I couldn’t speak the developer lingo to signal to all the other yahoos that I am building a “sustainable community”.

Just pay them off like everyone else….

Oh, come on. That can’t be serious.
I got to work on that site back in the early 90’s when they still made Ford Rangers there. I wonder if the caves that go from the plant to the river are still there.
Also right across the street was this dumpy diner with an awesome Aussie cook.

OK…that’s clever
Got damn. That was clever.
Oh, bravo.
Those porns of buses and trains are scripted with actors. Apparently this moron thought it is a real thing.
You mean that FakeTaxi isn’t real? You lying liar.
Cash Cab hardest hit.
Now the bang bus on the other hand is real.
Oh come on, that’s just gross.
Oh, C’mon. How can you make a judgement about this story without a pic of the woman?
Those vacant eyes are mesmerizing.
Uh, fuck it.I’m sick of shitty news.

I think the likely cause of death was you guys blowing the animal up. Am I wrong here?
Bullshit. They just wanted to play with firecrackers.
Yuck.

The fault of Brazilian Trump, obviously.
Didn’t we see a story a few years back about a crowd going nuts at a soccer game in…Costa Rica?…. and beheading a referee on the field?
I might have more than one story mixed up. My memory aint what it used to be.
This did happen in Brazil…after the referee stabbed a player
Oh yeah, that was it.
The beheading in Costa Rica happened to a pedo when I was there and probably didn’t make the news.
A week later some dude put a 12ga. set-gun in his house because he had been broken into repeatedly and it successfully got the bandit. He cut a 14 yo girl in half. He got dragged out into the street and dismembered by a crowd also.
Dont fuck with kids in Costa Rica. My impression of them was that they are incredibly friendly people with strong family values and the national pastimes are drinking and screwing.
Great place. Really.
Costa Ricans can be quite the vigilantes.
When I was there some Nicaraguans robbed a bank. When the cops cornered them in the street they made sure the TV’s were rolling when they shot the robbers as they were attempting to surrender.
Nah, Brazilian again. In fairness, the ref had stabbed a player. In fairness, the player had taken a swing at the ref.
And Brazilians have the nerve to complain about crime there.
And people have the nerve to call “American” football a violent sport.
From the Fringe Report: So the (((mass shooting))) this weekend has stirred up the parts of the kink scene whose biggest kink is activism. And there are now calls for banning Nazi uniform play at any public event. Because somehow, kinky fuckers wearing leather or latex that look like Nazi uniforms as a way to express their transgressive sexual desires leads to actual anti-Semitic acts of violence or something. I’m not sure of the connection.
I understand why people do Nazi play or have Nazi uniform fetishes. Part of kink is exploring the darker side of the psyche and what is darker than being an evil Nazi? Plus, like it or not, Hugo Boss knew how to make a the cut of a person’s jib be bad-ass. So I get why people get it even if I don’t get it. The whole sanitizing kink is a bummer and fortunately people push back on it. It really emphasizes how much of the modern left is simply Puritanism V3.0.
I don’t run in kink circles, but I have friends who do and they are mostly proggies who are now judging others’ kink. I’m having cognitive dissonance over their cognitive dissonance.
Yeah. I mean, when I was first getting involved, the sort of trinity of things you learned was “Safe, Sane, Consensual”, “You have to earn it”, and “Your kink is not my kink and that’s ok.” because so much of this thing that we do yucks out vanilla people, that you get enough static from that without getting it from your own people. But somehow over the last decade, the proggie judging has really spread like a STD. There’s virtue signalling, and activism, and litmus tests galore.
I had occasion to speak with a black domme, which is apparently rare. Apparently, BDSM amongst black folk is really underground.
Well, there are very few black Germans.
Yes, it is. Dommes are quite rare to begin with. Plenty of women switch, but women dominants are quite rare as a percentage and esp. in comparison to the number of submissive men. And there really aren’t many blacks involved other than in their own little enclaves. Which I get. My rope lab partner is a black woman who is a switch and she is enormously popular, but rare as hen’s teeth. Though I’ve asked her cause I’m blunt if she feels uncomfortable and she’s said, “You know, nah, I’ve had people treat me better in the kink world than in my regular life. I get some weird requests from subbie white boys, but other than that…it’s good.”
White people are weird. I’ll cop to it.
Funny, I’ve known two black dommes, and I’m neither black nor involved with the BDSM scene.
Friends of a friend are a quasi-libertarian (really more moderate liberal, but I digress…) couple who runs in that circle and they’re honestly thinking about dropping out and going straight mono because of this. G-d bless you man, but I don’t know if I could tolerate being in a community with so much prog-ness.
There’s a great deal of talk among experienced players, and new folks who get it of “going leather” or “going old school”, meaning staying away from public parties and events, and hosting small get togethers for people who are well known in private homes the way it use to be, sort of creating an inner circle. So I get where they are coming from.
I mostly simply stay away from the online discussions which is where it is heaviest. it’s always comical when people find out I’m a libertarian as their image of what a libertarian is runs smack dab into their respect for me as an individual.
My post about KinkFest brings up a good example of this issue. I’m on the team this year for picking our presenters/educators. We got mail over the weekend from someone requesting that we not bring back a specific presenter. The guy has been presenting in kink venues for 20+ years. He’s done hundreds if not thousands of porn shoots for Kink.com and others. if you’ve ever watched any kind of kinky porn, you’ve probably seen his donkey-sized schlong. He is internationally recognized in the kink scene as a presenter and commands a fairly hefty fee normally. There’s never been a word bad said about him as far as the way he treats bottoms and subs. He does KF basically for the cost of his flight from California because he a) has friends in Portland, b) enjoys the event, and c) is a really good guy who enjoys teaching. We have him back every year because he is popular. But the request we turn down his application because he enjoys Nazi uniform play, even though he doesn’t do it in the dungeon. Fuck that. We’re bringing him in. Cause what the idjist complaining doesn’t know, is he’s one of (((y’all))) and that’s part of why he’s into it.
Hans… are we the
baddiesperverts?“Have you looked at our caps recently?”
“What about them?”
“They got dildos on them!”
I mean, whatever floats your boat, but… yeah, I don’t understand that fetish.
You haven’t lived until a Nazi has pounded you with a strap-on.
That would be a great bumper sticker.
I understand the fetish more than I understand the puritan impulse to stamp it out.
Ilsa hit hardest.

BIF hardest hit.
Seriously, this is supposed to be a science radio show. This isn’t even close to being science. It’s speculation and fear mongering.
I have a more plausible theory. Beer shortage could be because more been drank and not enough beer made. Doesn’t beer cause cancer in California anyway? What are they complaining about, we just improved public health!
Ah, “could.” Such a small word, such large amount of work it does….
STEVE SMITH could be gentle.

The hatred and viciousness of these people is over the top.
I think they really thought BO was ushering in the glorious revolution and that being rejected has driven them insane.
looking for. Honestly, I get the impression that some part of the progressive movement is trying to psych itself up to push for a coup or a violent revolution of some sort.”
Agreed. I think many are
They’ve been LARPing 1960s for thirty years now. At least October Revolution LARP would be a change.
Let’s see, the vast majority of guns are owned by conservatives and libertarians, and some data suggests that physical fitness trends towards the right wing. And you have right-leaning people who have been stockpiling food and preparing for major civil unrest for decades (while Lefties mocked them as paranoid loons).
That coup would be fucking hilarious.
That is why they want gun control so badly. They will never be able to pull that shit off with an armed populace. Make no mistake, that is exactly what gun control is about.
I don’t think so…okay maybe the antifa types. I think most of the rhetoric serves only to feed their obsession with being the most moral people in the room. It is a religion to them, and the whole point is to the religion of Proginess is to prove what a great person you are without actually doing anything. “Sure I could volunteer at a homeless shelter, but they smell. I’ll just get the government to steal more money from other people to help them. Aren’t I great.” But because their side is so obliviously the righteous side, and it’s not simply a difference of opinion on how to tackle major problems, all others must be evil and know they’re evil. Hence the demonization of all non-progs. It’s not a call to action, its mental masturbation to make them feel better about themselves by convincing themselves what great people they are.
I think this is pretty close to the truth. Essentially the progressive movement is a bunch of soccer moms and hipster douches clucking their tongues in stereotypical moral scold/slacktivist fashion.
Progressives have been like that from the get go.
I’m reminded of the lynch mob coming for the prisoner and get called out by the town marshal, armed with a rifle, on the steps of the courthouse.
After a little grumbling the mob decides to go home rather than encounter the wrath of that 30-30.

Tannerite
Cool. Younger mikey would have loved that. Heck, old mikey may get a pumpkin and take it to the range.
Not that it should be illegal but I can’t believe the banners haven’t zeroed in on that stuff yet.
I think the reason is the 2 chemicals separately are inert, kind of like bleach & ammonia or whatever it is you’re not supposed to mix.
It also takes some effort to detonate.
Interesting. From wikipedia:
“On April 23, 2017, an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent, who was shooting at Tannerite targets on state trust land south of Tucson, Arizona, accidentally ignited nearby dry brush, setting off the 46,000-acre Sawmill Fire. At the time, winds were gusting up to 40 miles an hour and the National Weather Service had issued a fire watch in the area. By the time the wildfire was mostly contained one week later, it had jumped over the Santa Rita Mountains and crossed Arizona Highway 83, spreading into the historic Empire Ranch and the surrounding 42,000-acre Las Cienegas National Conservation Area. The estimated damage caused by the blaze was $8.19 million dollars.[16] The agent pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge, and was ordered to pay $220,000 in restitution.[17]”
MISDEMEANOR CHARGE.
What a dummy. I’ll be surprised if he pays any of that bill.
Bleach and ammonia. Mixed and contained in a glass jar makes a nice explosion. Damn near lost an eye with it (still have the scar on my eye brow).
Dip shit friend was finishing sterilizing the family milking equipment and said “Hey guys want to see something cool!” Ran down the block to my grandmother’s with blood pouring from what looked like my eye socket. After she cleaned me up and I told her what had happened the worst thing her Mormon vocabulary could come up with was “Those darn Alred boys!!”
If not contained, it also releases toxic fumes.
OK. After watching some videos, I’m totally in favor.
Tannerite might even bring back natural selection:

I think some guy blew up a lawnmower and some sheet metal severed his leg, killing him.
I blew up a pumpkin. Pumpkin shrapnel isnt so bad. Your hair gets glued back with juice and decorated with seed. Putting that stuff in anything that creates dangerous projectiles is…less than wise. As you can see it really does pack a punch.
Yeah, I did that last year. I have told about it before. It was fun but the following spring I had pumpkin vines sprouting up everywhere on about three acres.
See, even the pumpkins benefit!
I remember now – thought I’d seen the word before.
It really was fun. Shit, I had pumpkin bits raining down for ten minutes.
A pound of tannerite packs a pretty good punch.
A word of advice for anyone thinking of doing this: when the warning says move back 100 yards, blowing that off and backing off 25 yards is not a good idea.
Blow up some watermelons next time. Much better shrapnel eatin’.
We did. My brother lives next to a 40 acre field that was planted in watermelon. After harvest we had the pick of what was left. We had about 100 melons. We ate what we could and blew the rest up with rifle, pistol and tannerite. You could say we had a blast.
There is a whole series of tannerite vs. wild hogs on youtube.
Something about ‘when pigs fly’.
So you were the crazy pumpkin lady in last Friday’s Zardoz vs. Dear Abby! :-p
I know Warren’s Pocahantas moment has been discussed plenty, but Liberty Doll has a nice round up.

Interesting coincidence…
Last Wednesday was “trunk or treat” at my church. I got recruited to help set up some tents and photo-opportunity things, so I was hanging out with some of the rougher-around-the-edges guys from church… you know, the ones with the good tools.
One of them is a former Marine who works in the prison ministry (I didn’t ask, but I assume he did time himself). He mentioned that he was helping a bunch of guys through the concealed carry permit process. So the conversation turned to “what would you do if someone walked into Sunday service threatening to shoot up the place”. His take was surprising at first, then funny and insightful.
He said, “I would duck!”
His reasoning? “There are so many people carrying in this church that I wouldn’t be worried about the shooter, I’d be worried about everyone getting shot by people not minding their line of fire, missing and hitting someone behind the shooter. ”
The shooting at the synagogue of course brought that conversation to mind. I don’t know how many churches are like this, but at our southern baptist church, there would not be much success with a shooter attacking the congregation. And I did agree with their sentiment that more people would be shot by well-meaning parishioners than by an attacker. I know at least a half-dozen police officers who attend and all carry, at least 2 associate pastors carry, and I know at least a half-dozen 70+ year old ladies who carry…. And of course the number of dudes who work in construction, lawn service, retail, etc. is huge, and most of them carry…. Plus a few lawyers, financial planners…. I dunno… I’m gonna set the over/under for the number of guns at a Sunday service at 35. (the guys who would know better pegged the number at more like 65, but that seems awfully high for a service of about 500 on a normal weekend).
So at some point I suppose that’s gonna happen. Random nutjob is going to try to shoot up the service at a conservative christian congregation and get shot 147 times. When it does happen, I wonder what the media spin is going to be?
Did you say Southern Baptist?
“Random nutjob is going to try to shoot up the service at a conservative christian congregation and get shot 147 times. When it does happen…”
LA County Sheriffs Department has been there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Deandre_Brunston
My parents attend a Southern Baptist church. I’d say easily a quarter to half the congregation carry. It’s an informal requirement of ushers and deacons to be armed. My aunt is the choir director and she has her revolver in her purse. I pity any dumb sonovabitch that tries to shoot that place up.
Sounds very familiar. I do believe the deacons all carry at our church as well.
It seems like a deep-dive story for either side of the gun control debate.
I mean, all over the country, but particularly in flyover country, there are millions of people gathering in very large groups every week with a significant number of guns….. and nobody is getting shot.
I’m sure they’ll just ignore it like they ignore most other armed citizen stories. After all, not only does it run contrary to the Leftist narrative, but there’s not even a double digit body count to get those sweet, sweet ratings and advertiser dough.
^This. You very rarely hear about armed citizens successfully defending themselves, not because it doesn’t happen but because it doesn’t fit the narrative. God forbid people should get the impression that these dumb redneck gun nuts are on to something with this whole self-defense thing!
I think one of our contributors has an article about that. I cant remember who.
I couldn’t tell you how many people carry at the church I attend, beyond knowing there is at least one person carrying.
Given that some 12% of the adult population of the State has a weapon carry permit, I’d have to expect that there is at least a few more in a crowd of at least 1000.
This happened in 2007 at a New Life Church service in Colorado Springs. Parishioner Jeanne Assam was carrying, and shot the guy square in the head. He had managed to kill two people before she stopped him.
OT: As part of my plan to get back into copywriting as a career, I’ve read some books on advertising: The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard and Ogilvy on Advertising by David Ogilvy, a prominent ad executive. There’s a lot of discussion about how advertising has been crafted to tug at your heartstrings; to play on your fears, anxieties, and dreams.
Strictly from an ethical philosophy standpoint, and excluding the use of false claims: Do you think there’s a point at which advertising crosses the line into immoral deception or manipulation? Just interesting questions to ponder, I think.
90% of advertising is immoral desception. I think a demo along the lines of “Here’s our product try it free” would not be
Hell, I hate [insert person’s name here] laws and laws with acronymic names.
I work in advertising and my answer to “Do you think there’s a point at which advertising crosses the line into immoral deception or manipulation?” is no.
I never lie, and even good advertising cannot sell a bad product (or not for long.)
Advertising is a transaction. You agree to give us your brief attention in exchange for entertainment and information. That’s it. The problem is most advertising isn’t entertaining at all.

I’m ready for the National Take Candy From Strangers Day. My neighborhood gets lots (lots) of kids. I spent $40 on those big mixed bags. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
My parents live in a very popular trick or treating area called the “Walk Streets”. Streets without cars, basically.
They buy candy in bulk from Costco. 2000 pieces. They start at 5:30, and the candy is gone by 7:30.
I haven’t had any trick or treaters for years. I still get a bag of Reese’s pieces, just in case. If I have to make the sacrifice of eating them, I can live with that.
Circus peanuts make sure they never come back
I had a friend – and this was in 1975 – who would give out little boxes of raisins for Trick or Treat. Her husband was a drummer with the Allman Brothers so she could get away with it.
As I said in another thread, I’ve got a 1000′ driveway uphill, with state forest on the other side. I don’t think we ever had a trick or treater.
My wife requested no steak for dinner tonight.
Lobster and scallops it is.
How kosher of you.
She gave that up.
No judgement here. Bacon wrapped scallops are a gift from Heaven.
If eating lobster and scallops makes one virtuous…well, I can do that.
We’d get along as neighbors.
With bacon, I presume?
Nah. These are fresh and dry.
Vermouth and herb brown butter with lemon wedges.
I don’t go for many of the foofoo food trends, but non-homogenized milk is truly superior.
Oh hell yea. My local butcher shop carries some absolutely delicious milk with a thick puck of fat on top. You have to scrape around it with a knife and shake it up before drinking it.
It’s a must if I’m making a latte at home.
One of the coffee joints near work put that stuff in their milk carafes one day – and didn’t tell us. So one day I pour some milk into my coffee and it comes out all chunky and I stifle a barf.
I think they call that “cream”. Fewer carbs than milk too.
