Had a nice visit with my brother and absolutely adorable 18 month old niece, makes me want another one. Children are the best.
I’m running late this morning so I’m going to keep the links short.

Feds have had whistleblower information on the Clinton Foundation for over a year now.

No idea what the hell all this is about. I’m sure we’ll all find out in good time.

More topically – Trump picks another spokes-babe to crush U.N. balls. I shake my heads in admiration.
That’s some stutter there man, are you ok?
SQEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Plus she is a former FOX News leggy blonde with no diplomatic background. He is also signalling the “high” regard he has for the organization.
>>Feds have had whistleblower information on the Clinton Foundation for over year now.
and nothing else happened…
Yet, usually I’m cynical, but am starting to believe that a massive case has been brewing for over a year and is now about to drop.
It’s like the reverse Mueller!
“the reverse Mueller”
Hey, friendo, this is a Family Friendly site!
I was gonna ask but then realized that this site hosts both SF and HM and decided to let that door swing shut on its own.
Manson Family.
MulattoFree is one of those handles that will get us some of that sweet Stormfront ad traffic.
You mean, they have actual evidence?
blackguymakingcomicalyoujustgotservedface.gif
How hard is it to trace back the source of funds to a foundation? From there, it should be pretty crystal clear if the foundation was acting in accordance to the law. I don’t get it.
The IRS and Rev Canada does it with ease.
They know.
It’s just that they apply the law differently to different people.
By Hillary continuing her tour, she doesn’t give the impression of someone who is worried though.
How did the NSA not know about her emails?
I imagine they have a ton of evidence, for lots of things, that can’t be used cuz of 4A.
You know who else reversed some German guy?
Bunny Lebowski?
Indiana Jones?
Dolly Buster.
It’s like the Warren Commission but moreso.

108) Diversity—1. the state or fact of being diverse; difference; unlikeness; 2. variety; multiformity; 3. the inclusion of individuals representing more than one national origin, color, religion, socioeconomic stratum, sexual orientation, etc.
“From today’s Washington Post, an article on Prince George’s County, MD, a large, wealthy, suburban DC county with a majority African-American population”
“The team portrait reflected a growing diversity in the county of everyone except white people, whose numbers have been steadily declining. New data released by the Census Bureau on Thursday shows the percentage of whites in the county has dropped by half since 2000 to 12.7, while the portion of Hispanics has dramatically increased from 7.1 to 18.5 percent, and the portion of black people has remained steady at around 62 percent.”
So, um, the county’s African-American population was at 62% in 2000, and is still at 62%. And the white (non-Hispanic, presumably) and Hispanic populations have basically swapped. But the county is more diverse? Am I misreading this, or is the Washington Post literally using diversity as a synonym for “fewer white people”?
I mean, that’s long been implicit in progressive thinking, but now it’s just right out in the open. Diversity = fewer white people
Been that way for decades. See also: “majority minority”.
Of course ‘diversity’ means less white.
I didn’t watch the CFL this year because coaches wore those stupid ‘Diversity is our strength’ sweaters and t-shirts. Because Trump.
Fuck that. I’m not going to be a part of stupidity.
They have a point if they mean that you need a diversity of body types to play those specialized positions, but yeah, that’s probably not what they meant.
Yes. Diversity literally means “fewer white people”. To a somewhat lesser extent, it can just mean more black people. This is how you can have a place like PG County where whites are a minority and yet “increase diversity” by simply reducing the number of white people. And Asians don’t count. Welcome to the DMV.
Oh, and the African-American family with two parents holding advanced degrees who live in a $850k colonial have less privilege than the 20-something white mechanic’s helper splitting an apartment with roommates in Dundalk.
This area is, and I’m not exaggerating, a hotbed of racial tension. There are very few other places in the United States where race is a bigger deal.
“Two underground layers in the Delaware known as the Wolfcamp Shale and Bone Spring Formation contain 46.3 billion barrels of unrecovered oil and 281 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, the DOI announced.”
Sounds like the US is about to lower its carbon dioxide emissions some more with still more abundant natural gas. Maybe the global warming folks in Paris should take notice?
Lucky. Up here we have a P.M. that’s vacillated so much over pipelines that Alberta is buying its own rail cars in order to get product to market. There’s a mutiny a-brewin’ between the Feds and the Provinces.
Bone Spring Formation.
I got one of those from Heather Nauert.
Is that near
err Big Bone Lick State Park
I’m glad that they clarified that those shale layers were underground. I was going to be paranoid about rocks falling from the sky and damaging my paint next time I had to be in MD.
Just to correct the misconception, the Delaware in this case refers to a geological formation straddling the Texas-New Mexico border, not the state.
Well shit, that’s worse. Everyone knows that the Sky-rocks are bigger in Texas.

We’re going to put a lot of coal miners out of business.
I was just in Clinton, TN yesterday. I was reminded of how so many people from that part of the country just don’t have any hopes or aspirations. It’s like when coal left, they didn’t know how to cope at all.
Like Eastern KY, when coal left, people who knew how to cope left too.
>>Purchase of product drops after public is no longer penalized for not buying it.
but just wait until we get a Democrat president and the house/senate again.
Of course you alt-right-wingers would overlook the real cause, as stated in the article:
Because insurance agents don’t exist?
Because 8 years in, nobody is aware that Obamacare is a thing?
Their ad budget should be about $300.

It’s almost there. If they could just get another $200M then it would be totally working great.
“As detailed during the course of the public hearing, Mr. Vlaming was recommended for termination due to insubordination through his repeated refusal to comply with directives made to him by multiple West Point Public Schools administrators,” Abel said in a statement. “As superintendent, it is my responsibility to enforce board policy, and due to Mr. Vlaming’s non-compliance I therefore recommended termination.”
The school also held a public hearing on the matter which featured testimony from the school’s principal, Jonathan Hochman, who claimed Vlaming told him that he liked and missed “the female version of the student.”
Not only did he have the temerity to refute their claim that 2+2=5, he attempted to alter history by exhuming the “her” from the Memory Hole.
*Stares blankly*
After the day that I just escaped from, I am fairly certain I haven’t heard anything so wrong all day. Dealing with hundreds of other people’s
mistakeschildren…the nightmare….seemingly never ended.I have turned into Mrs. Krabappel. I get her, man. Three weeks, Evan. Three weeks and you’re out. Fourteen days (X-Mas off). Four. Teen.
Children, much like the government, are much better when they are less in number, and directly controlled by you.
Kids are assholes. I remember being a kid surrounded by kids. Assholes, every last one of us. Then I grew up and changed out “kids” for “people”.
I prefer the semi-responsible adult (aka Uncle) role. I pick them up, we go do stuff, then I return them and go home.
I used to do that. Unfortunately my sister is raising the nephews incorrectly; they are glued to their screens and crazy cool Uncle Gord cannot compete with video games anymore.
One annual tradition we’ve done is Free Comic Book Day which coincidentally is right near the older nephew’s birthday. One of the comic stores by us does a huge event for FCBD, bringing in artists to do sketches, an art show, renting a separate area filled with toys, a mural, two different releases (Midnight and 10:00 AM), discounts, and a special lithograph every year. I’ve told both of them multiple times that it’s up to them if they want to go, so far, they’re both fans.
What kid would rather stare at a screen that have some free heroin from their uncle? You must be doing it wrong.
FREE?!?
Are you mad?
You’re crazy. I love kids and not in OWMC way. Even little girls will laugh at a well-timed fart joke.
If this is in reply to me, I have ~300 kids. Weird, Korean ones. I feel like pulling my own eyeball out and farting on it.
Mostly I’ve just been burnt out by my current school and it’s longterm gaslighting of me to the point of fairly severe emotional instability.
Kids need to fit into at least one category to be tolerable: Cute, Smart, Well-Behaved. More than one checkmark is preferred. Kids without any of those redeeming qualities are dead to me. It doesn’t help that kids that aren’t like that—usually I can see myself having a great time with them in a playground or playing baseball or something. But having to do work with them is just a nightmare. There are several kids now that I actively dread being in the classroom with.
I’m confident that I would be enjoying myself again if I were in a different school with at least one or a couple other weiguks. But absolutely not here. It’s just a slog to me now. Time to eject.
I’m assuming you’re bigger, stronger and smarter than them. Use one of those to establish dominance. They love it.
Piss on the doorframe to mark it as your territory.
One kid at my daycare was born with a serious head and facial deficiency including missing an ear and paralyzed right side of his mouth.
No matter what he always comes in to say goodbye to me with a wave of the hand. He even mustered the energy once to lift his arm as his head lay on his mother’s shoulder because of a fever.
Love that little guy.
My brother in law – a big feller who was once a street pugilist – was with me once and saw it and was moved. Then he said something that was really sad. ‘Poor kid. The kids are gonna really bug him in school’.
A great kid like that fills me with rage upon hearing how sometimes asshole parents abuse them. I’m definitely not going to say I’ve met more asshole adults than I have asshole children.
I got that backwards. Meh. More adult assholes than kid assholes.
This is gonna get our family friendly status revoked for sure.
Best of luck, my dude. Hope you make it through the home stretch intact.
Mine are pretty good. Everyone else’s are terrible.
“Purchase of product drops after public is no longer penalized for not buying it.”–“ObamaCare enrollment down 11 percent from last year”
Maybe now we’ll start to see a recovery in US lifespan. Also, I keep reading that the fall in US life expectancy for the past 3 years is due to the opioid crisis, but hasn’t that been going on since the 1990s? Is it really so hard to admit that massive govenrment intervention in the health care system might, just maybe, be the prime culprit?
The opioid crisis is not separable from the health care mess because the rise in deaths is directly attributable to the previous drive to get rid of ‘prescription drug abuse’ by drastically restricting pain medication scripts. Of course, as with any ‘successful’ prohibition the users reacted to reduced supply by finding substitutes. The substitutes were heroin and fentanyl both of which are considerably more likely to result in fatal overdoses due to fluctuations in purity than nice clearly marked as to dose pills.
So now we have the perfect world. Pain docs in prison, the terminally ill and those with chronic pain writhing in pain, and the junkies dying like flies. God bless the drug warriors.
Am I misreading this, or is the Washington Post literally using diversity as a synonym for “fewer white people”?
Some days, white flight is bad. Other days, it’s good. They’ll let us know what day it is.
It’s either white flight or gentrification with those types. Just stop with the phrasing and just get on with it. What a bunch of racists.

Probably. Have Mustang send me a mail on my phone. That email is dead. Idiot me lost the password.
You got it, I’ll let him know ASAP. Maybe a few bottles of shochuu or something of that like will get your memory back.

Sucks about that French teacher. Hope some private school in the area picks him up soon enough.
We had a French teacher in high school. Funny sort. Wore clogs in the winter. Tried to get us 14 year-olds to quit smoking. Had a boyfriend. Mighta been a fag.
That is one wacky French teacher. Clogs in winter? I thought that was a Danish thing.
“Tried to get us 14 year-olds to quit smoking. ”
Are you sure this teacher was French?
Hmm… Name checked out, fluent in French, clogs, fag. Yep, he was French.
Did he wear a beret and a striped shirt?
Naw, just faggy stuff like jeans and t-shirts. He was pretty intense about “Ode to Billy Joe”.

No Oscar hosting for you!
Nothing’s gayer than getting with a chick, dude. They’ve got feelings and always want to talk.
I saw a funny write-up on that once. Went on about how the straightest, most manly guys do it with guys because you’d have to be gay to want to be with a girl. Wish I could remember where I saw that.
Chicks are for fags. — running joke in college.
My brother and I were big on insinuating one another’s faggotry, but I got him beat. Knocking up his wife was the gayest thing he’s ever done.
You mean you didn’t knock up his wife too?

Maybe you’ve been reading the ancient Greek philosophers?
It’s kind of surprising. West Point is notoriously conservative and has an excellent school system.
I’m guessing the school board didn’t want the national Transgender lobby to drop the hammer on them and turn the school into a media shit show.
If only he was molesting the kids or embezzling funds… the union would be there to defend him.
The problem with all the political correctness in the media is that there is no way to know if the student was actually transgender or not.
So there is this House Resolution, HR6159, which is supposed to call for a study into the effects of the ELD mandate, specifically on truckers who have quit or otherwise had their livelihoods affected by the mandate. I finally get a nice long letter, with references and links, professionally edited, and send the motherfucker to Thomas Massie’s office, as Massie is on the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee. Massie, for whatever reason, had previously came out of nowhere and followed me on Twitter. (Ikr?)
I received a nice message from Massie the other day, acknowledging receipt of the submission, but that nothing would be done as yet because of Senior’s Funeral.
Not only has Senior indebted my heirs, for generations to come, to tax debt servitude for the hornets nest he stirred up in the ME, but the one and only time I may ever participate in this dumb shit called democracy, he put a fuckin’ delay on it.
Hey, Senior also promulgated “no net loss of wetlands” and gave us the ADA, so there’s more to ponder on the tree of woe.
And that gun control executive order and helped put that jackboot squarely on the NRA’s face so they’ll always be badge lickers from now on.

“Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.”
That evidence was assembled by a private firm called MDA Analytics LLC, run by accomplished ex-federal criminal investigators, who alleged the Clinton Foundation engaged in illegal activities and may be liable for millions of dollars in delinquent taxes and penalties.
In addition to the IRS, the firm’s partners have had contact with prosecutors in the main Justice Department in Washington and FBI agents in Little Rock, Ark. And last week, a federal prosecutor suddenly asked for documents from their private investigation.
The 48-page submission, dated Aug. 11, 2017, supports its claims with 95 exhibits, including internal legal reviews that the foundation conducted on itself in 2008 and 2011.
Those reviews flagged serious concerns about legal compliance, improper commingling of personal and charity business and “quid pro quo” promises made to donors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of State.
The submission also cites an interview its investigators conducted with Andrew Kessel that quotes the foundation’s longtime chief financial officer as saying he was unable to stop former President Clinton from “commingling” personal business and charitable activities inside the foundation and that he “knows where all the bodies are buried.”
“There is probable cause that the Clinton Foundation has run afoul of IRS rules regarding tax-exempt charitable organizations and has acted inconsistently with its stated purpose,” MDA Analytics alleged in its submission. “The Foundation should be investigated for all of the above-mentioned improprieties. The tax rules, codes, statutes and the rule of law should and must be applied in this case.”
Fake news, man. Water under the bridge. What difference, at this point, does it makes?
Besides it was all accidental, and I’m sure some Republican did something that sounds similar at some point, so why bother punishing that nice old family?
Oh lord, if something comes of this the Fappening will seem as tame as a pretty girl in a sundress smiling at you. I’ve got in a good store of Jiffy-Pop, just in case.
I prefer getting bulk bags of popping corn from the Mennonite store in town (mushroom popcorn is awesome), and using this style popper.
Jiffy Pop will give you cancer.
But… but… it’s the magic treat! As much fun to make as it is to eat!
I have never encountered mushroom popcorn before. Is it sprinkled with dried and powdered mushrooms?
No, pops up quite large and spherical, not as many nooks and crannies as other types. Can be handled without busting into pieces if your into adding toppings.
https://goo.gl/images/erjSgB
OK, I am officially intrigued.
You are right about mushroom popcorn, but when it comes to selecting the style of popper, your opinions are bad and you are bad and you should feel bad. This is a much better popper.
You are objectively wrong. This is the one SP and I use. It is life-changing.
I have one of those, but I find that my are has enough muscle memory to just grab the handle of the pot and shake it back and forth until the fun starts.

I make world-class mashed potatoes. SP craves them. I use excessive amounts of butter, just like I was taught in France.
I use a shit-ton of sour cream, but the real secret is to mash up some anchovies. That’s a no-go for you, but I’m sure you could sub in some vegan mushroom/amino concoction to get the requisite umami bomb.
My wife just replaced the hot air popper she sold when we moved…. It is the best way to pop corn.
but the real secret is to mash up some anchovies
This is also the real secret to kickass Mac & cheese.

No way. Speech as part of the job by a public employee is not protected. Teacher interaction with students according to the policies of administration is within the four squares of a teacher’s job.
Four square should be four corners. Duh.
I think it is fourcorner within the four squares of the job.

Is it just me or did Salon manage to completely utterly miss the point?miss the point

The AV Club was just as bad, but they did love the socialist box.
I thought the box was a pretty clear analogy that ‘Marxism=self contained bubble incapable of doing anything outside it’s own confines’ and they were mocking both Amazon and the renewed fascination with socialism, but I’m just a dumb yokel who misses the point of stuff….
What was the episode about? Like, what was the actual point?
Also, what the fuck is this?
I am having problems squaring those clauses in this writer’s mind. A weak B storyline is…uh….the definition of a weakness? How they manage to cognitive dissonant (i am making this a verb) so actively?
That’s really the crux of the issue isn’t it? It seems that the lefts (and in reality, much of the rights) entire ideology has evolved to rationalize and support cognitive dissonance. The ends are predetermined, they just need to find a way to justify them in their minds.
If they were smart, they’d have a better job than writing for Salon.
did Salon manage to completely utterly miss the point?
That’s pretty much their business model.

Fat neckbeard Nazi banned from Patreon:
https://literaturedevil.com/2018/12/07/patreon-purge-sargon-of-akkad-gets-his-account-banned/
Actually, I like Sargon even though he’s a middle of the road 90s liberal but the purge continues. The interweb is going to be a sad and sterile place in a few years if this keeps up.
Sargon is okay but long-winded to a fault. If he spoke in a less cultured accent he’d be just another schnook with a youtube channel that gets twenty views and then vanishes into the aether.
An English accent adds gravitas, it is known and yeah, he can rattle on for 20 minutes about something that can be said in two.
Uh oh, might be time to turn off my patreon contributions.
Not a bad idea if you don’t want them getting your money. They also cut off James Allsup who’s an identitarian (still shouldn’t have been banned though).
Sargon is about as milquetoast as you can get when it comes to criticism of SJWs. They really are intent on silencing any and all dissent.
Sargon is hardly right-wing. But he got permanently banned from Twitter for merely telling the truth.
Okay. I tried reading that Salon thing. It’s bad enough when people do that deep chinscratch thing with Citizen Kane, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to read a “scholarly analysis” of man’s existential nightmare as embodied in a goddam South Park episode.
Salon was not terrible before 2008 and the Great Enlightenment. Open Salon was super interesting and then Obama happened. Slate prior to Trump was my go-to for a number of years but after 2016? Nope.
Know what I think about that teacher in Virginia? They did him a favor. At least he won’t be a part of a process that’s fucking the mind’s up of children. What they’re doing to kids with this gender thing is not only not based on science but cruel. How are they any different from Creationists at this point?
“After thoughtful deliberation, the School Board voted to support the superintendent’s recommendation,” the school’s board wrote in a statement. “The School Board has adopted policies and tonight we upheld these policies.”

I wonder if Bill is watching this week-long orgy of performative grief for Bush 41 and thinking about his own funeral: Hillary in widow’s black and a little jar of Vick’s to get the tears going. Chelsea’s blank look as she wonders how her mother will try and make every little bit of it about her. Does Bill imagine he will get a funeral train? Lay in state, have his coffin be elaborately flag-draped, be put to rest at his flyblown Presidential Library? Will Monica and Paula and all the other girls he chased, molested, came on, raped or just fucked with a cigar be there, a wailing chorus of what was? Or does he worrying his dissolute corpse will be treated with just as much dignity as he deserves: rolled out of the back of a pick-up truck into a ditch outside an Arkansas whorehouse…
Irrelevant. Hillary will feed on him until there is nothing left of him other than some bone fragments and hair.
Being dumped right outside of the whorehouse would be the perfect end for his funeral.
Hillary doesn’t have the wherewithall to think of Vick’s. She’ll just stuff a raw,skinned onion up her dried up old snatch for the same effect.
Check that. When Hillary finally gets her crown and Bill kaffs she’ll just have him un-personed, Soviet style.
You’re an asshole. As if this doesn’t deserve it’s own post. I’m reading about cybersecurity and you got this ready?
Chelsea is gonna snap during Hillary’s eulogy that will somehow be spun about her.
She’ll run up to the casket, tears streaming down her clown face as make-up runs screaming grabbing the American flag sobbing, ‘You never cared. NEVER. Even when he was raping all those women! You don’t care about nobody. NOBODY. Surely not me? You still call me ‘You!’ You’re such a bitch. A BITCH! Oh Daddy! Why did you leave me with this harpie!? WHY?! You’re out of order! Out of your mind! This whole Church is out of order! You lost the election because people hate you! I HATE YOU!
The Gregorian Chants of Oos and aws flutter across the serene Church now filled with angst.
And some laughter.
*stunned silence followed by standing ovation*
And Hillary sneers and slurs, “You know he’s not your dad, you stupid urchin.”
Is this a lead-in to a crossover episode of Hillary the soul leach and Subaru horror theater?
I could see this ending with Hillary absorbing Chelsea’s life essence and running for president as Chelsea. I could also see it ending with Chelsea and Hillary picking through the remains of a Jonestown-like massacre, looking for gonads to feast on.
You just had to go and ruin it, didn’t ya?
Oh indeed, that’s a *slow clap*
Surely I can’t be the only one who laughs during the funeral scene at the end of the Lana Turner “Imitation of Life”.
He more likely to be thinking of Hilary’s funeral.
Well, that’s more of an everyday sort of thought…
I believe that polls have shown that the average American fantasizes about a horrible way for Hillary Clinton to die at least twice a day.
The ACME anvil or the 16-ton Monty? You decide.
My favorite is where her entire body is covered in skin tags that eventually grow together, trapping her like a cancerous testicle in a sightless, soundless, hairless 250-pound scrotum that is then buried in her home state of IlliNewyorkansas.
You ain’t right, boy
I’m picturing a sentient sheet of skin, like Cassandra .

Let’s go do some crimes.
Lets get Sushi and not pay.
When I started my current job, I had to go visit our factory in Iowa. Right across the street is the company that makes the car deodorant trees, and they have a giant one as a display out front. I texted a photo of that to Spudalicious, who immediately responded, “Find one in every car. You’ll see.”
Some people get it.
I heart that movie and have an enduring lust for the whiny girl that will run to fat later in life.
I do, too. Been too long since I watched it. Its up there with The Outlaw Josey Wales for quotable lines.
Bud: Credit is a sacred trust, it’s what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said, do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?
Otto: They don’t pay bills in Russia, it’s all free.
Bud: All free? Free my ass. What are you, a fuckin’ commie? Huh?
Otto: No, I ain’t no commie.
Bud: Well, you better not be. I don’t want no commies in my car. No Christians either.
another from this wonderful movie:
Miller: John Wayne was a fag.
Pletchner: Wha? What did you say?
Miller: I said John Wayne was a fag.
ALL: THE HELL HE WAS!!!
Miller: He was too, you boys. I installed two way mirrors once at his pad in Brentwood, and he come to the door in a dress.
Oly: That don’t mean he was a homo, Miller! A lot of straight guys like to watch their buddies fuck!…..uh, don’t you?
Pletchner: Hell yeah I do!
Lite: Man, fuck a John Wayne – give us his name, you little pussy!
What about your old lady?
Oh…shit… forgot all about her. But she’ll take the bus – she’s a rock.

It’s Pearl Harbor Day. Let’s all celebrate appropriately and get bombed.
This is one day of the year where I walk around town give out wet willies. “You like that? Do ya?”
Is the official drink of Pearl Harbor day a Kamakazi?
I’m not really a shot person but I like kamakazi’s. Not too harsh. Not too sweet.
When I’m trying to be less fat I drink a lot of vodka and lime seltzer water instead of beer. It’s close to a Kamakazi. The only problem being it’s too easy to end up drinking 5 of them on a Tuesday.
Problem?

Today is going to be one of those days – the dreaded company Christmas Party, where HR comes up with silly games (like the employees are in 6th grade) that everyone hates. And the thank yous from the VP and the little shitty presents. At least we can drink when we are there; plus I’ll be leaving to go home as soon as I can.
Office Christmas Parties are for two thing; 1) getting drunk and finally having that ill-advised tryst with the woman you’ve flirted with at the copy machine for the last year in the janitors closet. 2) Getting way too drunk and telling your boss he’s an asshole.
Tell HR to dispense with the games and stupid gifts.
and re #1 – if she’s not into it, you can always just beat your paper jalapeno until the milk duds and cow tails explode all over the place.
That’s a hell of a euphemism….I’m not sure if I want to know what it’s for
…I’m going to go with a pinata reference.
My first industrial job after my post-doc was with a scientific instrument company in Wisconsin. The Christmas party was held, coincidentally, on December 7. Peppermint schnapps and Tom & Jerrys seemed to be the drinks of choice, but I had never experienced Wisconsin Drunk before. It was profound. The VP of R&D got up on a table and dropped his pants. The head of QC took a swing at the company president, missed, and spun around to fall on his ass, then pass out. The sales manager puked on our table.
Man, I miss that job.
Why is the copy machine in the janitor’s closet? That’s just begging for trouble.
We have a potluck taco bar, no gifts, no games. It’s pretty fun.
We don’t get to have a pinata any longer, though. Something about a bunch of white people beating a paper jalapeno with a broom handle made someone uncomfortable, I guess.
They did a Taiwanese-style Christmas party one year when my group reported through that branch of the company.
Lots of drawings for prizes, but when you won, you were supposed to show gratitude by entertaining the group. It was awful. Fortunately our org chart shifted to reporting through US managers soon after that, or there was going to be a guailo rebellion.
>>to show gratitude by entertaining the group.
So lap dances?
…that actually was an option.
People actually still have office parties where they can drink? I’m so envious.
We just have a catered lunch paid for by the big boss. He’s a very fancy sort, so the food is usually excellent.
Let’s all celebrate appropriately and get bombed.
On German beer.
Kirin and Sapporo, asshole.

From Bob Boberson’s CNN link:
Another way to judge an election is by how many votes each side wins. Democrats’ position in the national House popular vote is now reaching historical proportions.
They are totally obsessed with this.
Again I ask- how long until the “progressives” are actively inciting their True Believers to cast absentee votes in states the do not live in, like Wyoming, to save democracy from the hicks in flyover country?
I wonder how that popular vote thing would actually work out for them. I’m certain there are a hell of a lot of right wingers in Cali and other leftie strongholds that would vote that don’t even bother now.
It makes them sound incredibly uneducated. Everyone knows that you don’t give a rats ass about any national popular vote.
In a nation without states you would …
The Dems are too stupid to realize that their dream of having everything done on a national popular vote is probably the one thing most likely to lead to secession and civil war. The Founders set up the protections for small states and rural areas for a reason. Even at the start of the republic, it was perfectly apparent that a pure popular vote would mean a handful of states and cities controlled the national government. The Revolutionary War was fought precisely because Americans did not want to be ruled from a distant capitol over which they had no meaningful say. Replicating that would have (and still could) lead to the effectively disenfranchised areas trying to split off.
And the Dems are actually so stupid that they are setting the precedent for dissident areas to ignore the authority of the federal government they want to control, mainly with their sanctuary cities nonsense.
If you had a long-term plan to shatter the US into hostile warring factions, it would probably a lot like this.
Cogent commentary as usual RC, except I question the assumption that democrats are all that averse to secession and civil war. I’m not sure they particularly want a shooting match (outside a retarded fringe), but are they any less eager to just chuck it and go their separate ways than their conservative/republican counterparts?
I don’t think I’ve seen any actual polling on the subject, but my pulled-out-of-thin-air sense of the matter is that 20+ years of ever-increasing political polarization across the country has resulted in a very large chunk of the population who would willingly call it quits on the union given a practical way to do so.
I question the assumption that democrats are all that averse to secession and civil war
I do too. Regardless of whether they are averse to it, they are stupid to court it.
Not averse to it, stupid to court it, totally unprepared for if it happens.
The US left would never allow a peaceful break. For starters, California’s water would be shut off.
One big problem for the US if the proggy states decide to leave is that the US might lose all of its Pacific ports.
Wouldn’t be a problem if Supermand didn’t stop Lex Luthor from dumping NJ and CA into the ocean.
Anchorage would still be there. Only problem is there would not be a land connection to North Dakota
We just need to annex British Columbia.
Naw, reconquer the separatist blues and don’t give them back voting rights until several generations of prog-free schooling have passed.
Kirin and Sapporo, asshole.
Swing… and a miss.
Heavy. Metal. Music. When I pull an all nighter, I get loaded up on Diet Dr Pepper and put on song on continuous loop. I listened to this song for something like eight and a half hours straight last night.
I expect today to be very weird.
That’s a pretty cool video.
I like metal, but I don’t really get the extreme shit. I much prefer this.
Its like any other abrasive but comlex input. You start out drinking makers with soda, and a few years later you find yourself walking around the greenhouse asking if they have peat moss you can lick.
I started out on Metallica, Black Sabbath, BoC and Blue Cheer, and over 25 years have moved further into the extreme end.
Motorhead, Sabbath, Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax. That’s all I need.
This guy gets it.
No Misfits?
*looks around*
I’d say there’s plenty of misfits.
*hums* “We’re on the Island of Misfit Toys”
Of course Misfits, but I was just listing the metal bands I listen to.
I’ve been meaning to ask you; I don’t believe I’ve ever listened to a single Misfits song and I’d like to correct that. Give me 3 that will make me a fan.
Hmmmmm…..well, I wouldn’t say these are my three favorites necessarily, but trying to hit some different sounds from them, I’d say:
-Last Caress, the archetypal Misfits song
-Death Comes Ripping, the best of their more hardcore Earth A.D. songs
-American Nightmare, their bluesy “twisted Elvis” song
Thanks! I’ll give them a listen.
I don’t like this new metal with strings and keyboards.
Keyboards have always been a part of metal. Deep Purple had a Hammond organ, Hawkwind had two synths, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath had both strings and keyboards. Lots of early seminal albums did like Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Abigail, etc.
I wouldn’t call Deep Purple metal, but John Lord playing through stacks of distorting amplifiers is way more aggressive than wooshy pads.
Black Sabbath did occasionally add other instruments, but they didn’t rely on them.
kinda funny there’s three dudes with long flowing locks/dreds and then one bald guy.
I liked the music, but the vocals seem like a parody of that type of vocals, know what I mean?
Historical Fact
Selfie Friday:
https://thesexier.com/selfie-addicts-pics/
In a rare (for me) all blond trifecta, I gotta go with 11, 5, and 16
NSFW
Wait. Not even selfie’s. People taking pictures of people taking selfies.
Meta. Titties within titties.
For future reference, what’s a reasonable guideline for a NSFW warning? In retrospect, 5 is NSFW despite having some material sort of covering stuff, but how about, 6 and 16, both nude but with camera angles blocking views of off limit body parts.
My rule is areola = NSFW (obviously any beaver too). Butt cracks and nude girls with the good stuff occluded are usually ok.
I’ve never gotten any complaints and/or cattbutts.
But perhaps the overlords should provide guidelines?
Butt cracks are like PG13 – at least out there in Television Land. Of course I don’t want to be caught at work looking at this stuff so I opt out when I’m in the office.
How about something like 10, where it’s possible some areola is showing, but it’s a complicated enough bra that you can’t be sure?
Or body paint, where you can make out the shape of the areola, but technically no skin is exposed?
I guessing in the absence of guidance, better to err on the side of labeling it NSFW.
The front page already has it.
Only inline stuff. Links are fine, we just want the site itself to be readable at work.
When I get drunk and start posting nekkid ladies I always put a “NSFW” warning. Hopefully that’s ok. Otherwise, you can exile me.
COMMENThttps://glibertarians.com/2018/12/friday-morning-links-68/?replytocom=816655#respond
Apologies for whatever the fuck below is but in regard to your statement – FREEDOM!
My 2 cents: if you have any doubt at all, label it NSFW and let the viewer decide if you were correct or not.
5,7,8,10,14 and 15. I may not survive them all, but damn it I’ll try.
Very nice.
I’ll go with 5 cause see-thru shirts are da bomb.
I wonder how that popular vote thing would actually work out for them. I’m certain there are a hell of a lot of right wingers in Cali and other leftie strongholds that would vote that don’t even bother now.
Yes, exactly. A lot of Republican/conservative voters might come out of the woodwork in an election not featuring two commies.
I had never experienced Wisconsin Drunk before. It was profound. The VP of R&D got up on a table and dropped his pants. The head of QC took a swing at the company president, missed, and spun around to fall on his ass, then pass out. The sales manager puked on our table.
Sounds like any random Tuesday night in Butte.
No shit. There was a bar across the street from my office where you could count on at least one major fistfight per hour.
St. Patrick’s Day in Butte is like Mardis Gras, but without the same sense of quiet dignity.
Uffda. What a sad, sad day.
The worst obit I have read all year.
Lutefisk is the devil, but that’s still sad.
I don’t want to live in a world where people can’t get lye cured whitefish and smother it in butter.
Gobs of butter and lots of salt. The only way to eat lutefisk.
A friend of mine had a great grandma who would make lutefisk every year and if you stopped by, she’d insist on you having a plate. He would never warn you, just invite you over and laugh as you choked down your lutefisk.
The second he opened the door and you smelled that smell you knew you were screwed. His great grandma was convinced we all loved it because we always stopped every year just to get a plate.
“lye cured whitefish and smother it in butter.”
gag reflex activates, runs to bathroom
I’ve never had lutefisk, but I’d be hard pressed to say it’s worse than gefiltefish.
My grandmother used to force me to have it at Pesach *shudder*.
May I also say that if life was fair, we’d all be talking about Walleye’s life and funeral and not about that fuckhead Bush’s funeral.
One of my friends in high school had the same name as that author. Jon Klawiter. I used to call him Klawiterus. That would be quite the Kawinkidink if that’s him.
Remember that tent city in Minneapolis? The one that city leaders promised to clean out by the end of September? Well, it is still there and things aren’t going too well.
The new big plan is to move them from their homeless tents into two big city owned tents. Unfortunately efforts to do that are being hindered by the fact that the “support group” Natives Against Heroin is threatening everybody and EMT’s and other social workers are scared to go into the camp.
TLDR – This person is a violent maniac.
Same thing happening with a homeless camp in downtown Fort Lauderdale. They’ve taken it out twice and it hasn’t done anything. They supposedly did it a third time a week ago but driving past it the other day didn’t seem anything had changed.
Weird. If I were homeless, I’d pick somewhere like Florida or Hawaii/ Marie Antoinette
You can’t make it up. When I was a younger yeti and working on the rez, I couldn’t understand why, with so many people ‘helping’, the Indians were so thoroughly fucked up.
Said it before and I’ll say it agin: reservations and handouts are among the most immoral things the fedgov has ever concocted.
Good lord, there are four alphabet agencies mentioned just in that short quote – and they’re fighting a turf battle. What a shitshow.
The reservations should be turned into private land.
Homeless folks get mighty scarce in Michigan once the snow starts falling. I’m sure they’re hiding out somewhere though.
::Looks under the rug::
Normally there are no homeless out on the street by November or so. My understanding is that most of them take the trains west and south, but that could be wrong. There are shelters you can call if someone is out on the street in cold weather, and their response time is faster than the police coming to aid a soccer mom in a good neighborhood.
But like every bad idea, people gotta try this every once in a while it seems.
When I used to work in the North Loop area (before it got gentrified) the homeless were thick under the freeway bridges that go into downtown. They could go to the Salvation Army shelter next door, but they won’t let you in if you are high/drunk and will toss you in a second if they think you are using inside.
But you’d be amazed at how many winter here.
Homeless encampments are best self-cleansed through fire.
ZARDOZ smiles.
Ithaca must be so proud to have its own homeless camps.
Bullshit Minneapolis is nowhere near downtown l.a.
The new big plan is to move them from their homeless tents into two big city owned tents.
That’ll fix it.
Wait does this mean the Democrats are going back to the big tent party concept?
The big tent is racist. And sexist. And homophobic.
Just like you.
The no whites big tent
It’s like they are building a camp where they can concentrate them all.
For once, TOS has a decent article, about whether individuals have the right to self-defense against government agents:
https://reason.com/archives/2018/12/07/when-nonviolence-isnt-enough
Jason Brennan… is he new?
From the bio link, he doesn’t appear to be staff, but he’s had two other articles published there despite not rising to the usual level of statism lite TOS seems to prefer:
Introduction to the symposium on the “Routledge Handbook of Libertarianism”
September 18, 2017
Why Democracy Is Not Sacred
November 8, 2016
Like Tucille, not statist enough to be on staff, but they occasionally let someone who is actually full-on libertarian guest contribute.
That’s a good article. If only I could get some of the people in my life on board. My whole family skews Right so they are fine with the concept of self-defense against agents of the government when its a three letter agency and a D is in the White House, but quick to say “HE SHOULDN”T HAVE RESISTED” if the agent is State police on down. Its a glaring inconsistency that they refuse to acknowledge.

So I guess our benevolent prog betters have decided that holding “POCs” to any standards of behavior at all is racist.

That’s been the case in the inner cities for a while.
“She said Moss apologized to her “for her classroom reaction.” Burgess, in turn, “apologized to her if my behavior appeared to be disruptive, unprofessional, or uncivil as a student.”
You know, the way we used to handle shit like this. Look at how easy that was. It took 2 people. Not 4 agencies, not a commission nor a legislative body.
Oh no, it doesn’t end until at least one life is ruined. C’mon, people, make it happen.
So what you’re sying is – shutter a half dozen agencies and lay off their employees?
So today is my last day of work and, later on, the Christmas party for my new job (which I technically don’t start until Monday). Is it too early to get hammered and make complete ass out of myself at the party?
Drink too much and let the new boss have it. Trust me, they act like they hate but secretly they love it.
Christmas party for your new job where you don’t know anyone yet? Sounds…awkward.
Hence the inevitable drinking too much.
Never too early to do that, though you might want to be only a partial ass so you can keep the new job. 😉
So I take it no sneaking off to the coat closet with the hot admin?
just the opposite — having the admin think well of you will make your life vastly easier.
So remember to think of baseball.
For your new job, yes. You haven’t yet proven your worth. Next year, on the other hand…
How big is the new company?
My first job out of college was with a finance company. I was employee number seven. The CEO was only 8 or 9 years older than me and was a blast. Always sprung for limos and taxis and we had an amazing time.
Man, I miss the early ’90s.
~60 people in this office. I have only met the guy who interviewed me. It’s going to be… interesting.

Re the upthread lcomments on what Bill Clinton was thinking at Bush 41 funeral.
My local rag, in honor of the new “civility” celebrated by the funeral, ran a political cartoon today by someone named Stahler.
It shows the living presidents with their balloon thoughts about the funeral: Carter= “Humility”; Clinton “Kindness”; Bush 43 “Honor”; Obama “Patriotism”; Trump “My funeral will be grander than this.” Us cynics would have them all (except the son) saying: “When will this shit be over and where are we going for lunch?”
Disgusting authority worshipping ass kissing toadyism.
Yuck!
Do they honestly think they won’t be praising Trump for being better than whoever is the GOP president at the time of his passing? Hell, I bet Trump could die tomorrow and by next week they’ll be comparing him unfavorably to President Pence.

If there ever was a company that needed some competition.
I just received an email from a telecom rep about my expiring service contract. His name is “Africa Guy”.
I guess it makes as much sense as “Whitey”
I am TRUMP, destroyer of worlds.
The Trump administration plans to eliminate an Obama-era requirement that new coal-fired power plants have expensive technology to capture carbon dioxide emissions.
This latest administration effort to boost fossil fuel industries comes as leaders from nearly 200 countries are meeting in Poland to discuss how to keep greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere. And amid reports that CO2 emissions are rising again, as well as the administration’s own report that climate change is causing more severe weather more frequently and could eventually hurt the U.S. economy.
The Environmental Protection Agency proposal would revise its “New Source Performance Standards” for coal power plants, allowing coal-fired generators to emit more CO2 per megawatt-hour of electricity generated. This would ease an Obama-era rule that was a central target in critics’ accusations of a “war on coal.”
Game over, man. Game over.
>>that climate change is causing more severe weather more frequently and could eventually hurt the U.S. economy.
but yet, through the magical power of unicorns and rainbows, going green for the majority of our energy won’t have any effect on the economy at all.
Oddly enough, we haven’t actually experienced more frequent severe weather than historical norms. In fact, there have been much more severe hurricane seasons in the past than in recent decades.
Yet they will just make statements that fly in the face of reality.

“[You] can go back to 1977, when Barack Obama’s future science “czar,” John Holdren, co-authored a book with Paul R. Ehrlich predicting that global warming could lead to the deaths of 1 billion starving people by 2020. (The authors theorized, “Population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution.”)”
Always with the eugenics these progs…
Of course the Cleansing never involves themselves or anyone near and dear to them. Merely numbers on a ledger, Comrade, no need to shed any tears for those sorts.
It’s so weird how the same people who were pimping “peak population” in the 70’s (which led to Western countries funding forced sterilization programs in the third world through the UN) were some of the first to proclaim climate change Armageddon.
laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution
We’ll retroactively start with Holdren, his children, and his grandchildren.
Hmm, what article of the constitution does he think grants the government such power?
Other than the invisible FYTW clause, of course.

One wonders how many “new coal-fired power plants” are actually on the drawing board in the U.S. or will be once this regulation is repealed? I’m guessing the answer is zero.
True. But, it’s also fair to ponder how many coal plants this rule originally killed. Kind of ruins the whole “the free market killed coal” narrative

So yesterday was the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre wherein some fuck-headed incel separated the women from the men at an engineering school and murdered fourteen of them. The only reason that I mention this is that I received a second-hand text about it and was supposed to lower the flag to half mast. Yesterday. Fuck them. If they want want their flags up, down or somewhere in betwixt I’m certainly not driving across the city to do their bidding. Their flag protocol seems to echo whatever the CBC is blathering on about at any given time. Some fossilized politico from Quebec? Half-mast. An entire junior hockey team from deplorable land? Crickets.
I learned about that massacre a few years ago. Insane story. But, I’m with you on flag protocol. It’s either to just not even hang a flag, because the flag etiquette busy bodies are always blathering on about some arcane rule (sorry I don’t have a light shining on my flag at night, but it’s my damn flag and I do what I want).
You will do what you’re told, young man.
“You can’t tell me what to do!” 15 year-old Festus. Rolls over and farts – 54 year-old Festus.
That massacre predates a lot of the hysteria down here, but it truly was a horrific thing.
What I really don’t understand is why these incel types don’t just go hire a hooker. It’s almost as if lack of sex isn’t really their problem…
Because only losers have to pay for it, duh.
Because ultimately it is not the lack of sex they have a problem with. Yes they are hyper fixated on the sex but what they really are upset about is their inability to have an actual relationship with a woman.
If it was truly just about the sex, then yeah they’d all just go hire hookers
Because they are afraid of diseases and getting busted by the cops?
I argue it’s still preferable to murder. Or even to bitterly bottom feeding in internet misogyny.
Actually, I think Rasilio probably has it right.
Was just at O’Hare Airport yesterday. Their flag budget must be in the seven figures. All at half-mast because of Herbert Walker.

It involves a slurpee, an ex-girlfriend, a broken knee, a pack of Winston cigarettes, and Yesterdog, a local hotdog only restaurant.
Akin to the “Popcorn Surprise” or the “Halloween Candy Bowl”? Don’t be greedy, just take one.

It is not enough to want to cut spending. The focus should be on eliminating bureaucrats.
If that’s not a symbol of a decadent and decaying empire I don’t know what is.
The federal government is one huge massive teat that everybody’s sucking on. Eventually it’s going to go dry.
OT: so the dog has been coming with me to work fairly often. In fact, this week she spent Tuesday, Wednesday, 1/2 of Thursday, and all of today (so far) with me. It’s been awesome! If there is something bugging me, I leave to take the dog on a walk. . . she helps my mood out immensely. I hope to buy her a little bean bag or easy chair to relax on, and see how she takes to it. She’s also gotten used to the routine of coming here, waits patiently on the elevator, follows me to the copy machine so I won’t be too far away.
Nothing better. Our office often has a dog or two visiting. It’s very calming.
I’m glad to hear she’s settling in. How’s the training coming along?
All decent humans like puppers. I wish I could take mine to work but she’s a secretive shitter and the buildings are very large…
Some day I want to be senior enough, or respected enough, or simply powerful enough in the company/industry to implement a pilot program to use dogs to detect rogue emissions in the fab. I honestly do think it can work, since current portable metrology sucks at the (sub)ppb range.
Plus a dog in a cleanroom suit would just be adorable

My old mutt was an extremely friendly dog. The only time I ever remember him getting bristly and upset with another dog was when I brought him to work. Every time the elevator opened up on the ground floor my mutt would go berserk and growl at the dog in the lobby. Every time. He never figured out that the lobby had a mirror and it was his own dumb self that he was growling at.
But yeah, dogs at work are great.
I have a cat who did that for a week or two. We move into a new house with a glass sliding door leading to the back patio. At night, with the lights on, she could see her reflection. The growling and hissing would start. Derp.
Now she ignores the “new cat” on the back porch.
Our dog does this with elevator doors – the ones in my building are slightly mirrored. It’s cute.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.”
sounds like consent to me.
HAWT
But there definitely was a huge power imbalance, like Bill and Monica.
Consent is consent. Sorry but this whole power imbalance idea is crap. People have traded sex for favor from the powerful as long as there have been people. It is a perfectly valid choice for them to make and is qualitatively different from powerful people forcing themselves on others and then using their power to avoid consequences.
Ie. Bill and Monica is fine, and no one’s business but Bill, Monica, and She of the vaginal beak. Bill and Paula is not fine.

19 year old against the Cook County State’s attorney and the Illinois Attorney General. Sometimes you hit your self in the balls when punching down that far.
I wonder if there’s a federal civil rights angle. There’s no way the state or the locals will do anything.
The kid is lucky. I new a guy who was the campaign manager for a woman who was running against Bernie Stone and was beat-up in his front yard before the day before the election. The attackers said “you’re not going to be canvassing no more”. There’s never any federal intervention and the State ignores the corruption so long as it benefits them.
*knew
That’s a great quote.
And unless (a) there is a federal angle and (b) DOJ can be arsed to actually prosecute election crimes, NOTHING ELSE WILL HAPPEN.
Never forget: Obama was a product of the Daley Machine and the Chicago Way.

i was interested in that masterclass website after watching a promo for their Texas hold’em series.. but they have Krugman for econ and society so now i’m skeptical about the site.
although the chess series is taught by Kasparov, and there’s deadmouse and several others that are badass at their craft.
anyone here try out the masterclass stuff yet?
My son is interested in electronic music production so the deadmaus series was interesting to me, but every other word that comes out of his mouth is “fuck”. It kind of detracts from the information.
Someone should take the Krugman class. I will bet your dollars to donuts he’s not as crazy/stupid as his NYT columns are. I think the NYT stuff is just a working shoot for him.

Trump Taps William Barr to Be Next Attorney General
Am I supposed to be happy or sad over this?
Trump Taps William Barr
Paging SugarFree.
“Taps”… yet another word that I won’t look up in the Urban Dictionary.
Gee, lemme think…
“HE PUT HIS WEE-WEE IN MUH STINKIE-HOLE!”
/kid that went to kindergarten with Barr
Zombie William Burroughs would have better.
I read that in the voice of William F. Buckley.
It doesn’t matter. Every AG instantly becomes the most scummy political in the history of forever. Every party, every admin, they are all awful. This guy will be again.
An ex-Bushie? Trump really is a fucking idiot isn’t he?
I don’t get this one. IMO, this is no time for Trump to start playing nice and looking for ways to cool down the conflict with the Dem party apparat. He should appoint an AG that is going to go after everyone involved in fucking with the last election. Wrap it in a big “election integrity” plan, and start pushing hard on all the shenanigans.
Otherwise, he risks the Dems controlling too much of the election machinery and making any opposition purely decorative.
Appointing a middle of the road guy who has loyalties to a powerful family dynasty that hates your guts is just stupid stupid stupid and it will piss off his core supporters. The guy just isn’t that smart I’m afraid.
I had a half-chub for Trey Gowdy but then I got better. Say, these sores on my dick are gonna go away and never come back, right? Right?

Mr Barr has voiced disapproval over some aspects of the inquiry but his views on the investigation’s legitimacy remain unknown.
He has said that Robert Mueller hired too many prosecutors with Democratic campaign ties for his investigative team – telling the Washington Post he “would have liked to see [Mueller] have more balance”.
In a 2017 opinion piece for the Post, Mr Barr said Mr Trump had been right to fire FBI director James Comey because he “crossed a line” by announcing the outcome of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
He has also defended Mr Trump’s desire for a criminal investigation against Hillary Clinton to the New York Times, adding that some of her actions merited an inquiry more than any Trump-Russia collusion.
The Times has described Mr Barr as a lawyer with a vision for broad presidential powers, but also one who sees the attorney general’s duty as avoiding political considerations.
68 years old. Perhaps he wants to finish his career with a big bang.
*Shakes magic 8-ball*
…Barr added that an investigation into the Uranium One controversy was more important than looking into whether Trump conspired with Russia: “To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility.” Elsewhere, Barr has commented that “I don’t think all this stuff about throwing [Hillary Clinton] in jail or jumping to the conclusion that she should be prosecuted is appropriate. But I do think that there are things that should be investigated that haven’t been investigated.”
Big talk when he doesn’t have the ability to do anything but talk big.
I have my doubts that he’s actually going to do dick. Swamp creatures gonna swamp creature.
You know who else finished their career with a big bang?

R. Budd Dwyer?

I have no problem believing that white progressives are unrepentent racists, but not for the reasons they believe they are.
He forgot “dumb” and “smug”.
And we’ll do this by marginalizing other people according to their race, gender, sexuality, wealth, and other forms of privilege
White guilt is a helluva drug.
It ain’t guilt. It’s bible thumper moral signaling. These assholes are simply jockeying moral positioning among their peers. They don’t give two fucks about minorities, they only care whether they can claim moral superiority in their social cliques.
Of course, which is why the kind of rich white leftists who scream constantly about this kind of nonsense are the same people who also would move heaven and earth to keep minority kids out of their school districts.
And bitch endlessly about their precious SALT deduction.

She: If I had known we had more time, I would have taken off my panty hose.

There’s an old Ole and Lena™ joke similar to that but I can’t remember. Where’s his holiness when I need him?
I’m right here Mike. But I think that the joke is exactly the same. Only you use the names Ole and Lena.
It was something about he knew he was doing it right because her toes were curling.
That’s the one.
“I knowed you liked it, your toes was curling!”
“I’d liked it better if next time I can take off my panty hose first…”
Hate Crime Hoax: Drake University Student Admits to Sending Racist Notes to Herself, Others
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/12/06/hate-crime-hoax-drake-university-student-admits-to-sending-racist-notes-to-herself-others/
I for one am grateful. I think the “hate crime” crowd have so thoroughly discredited themselves that I can’t imagine average people take such reports unskeptically at this point.
Not sure why this effect hasn’t carried over to the climate lunacy crowd yet – possibly because they’ve been entrenched so much longer.
Have we tracked down the perpetrator of those graffiti swastikas who very thoughtfully avoided marring the portraits hanging right next to them? You know, that white supremacist Nazi who lives on the Upper East Side.
‘Tis a shame that these hoaxes are only covered by the likes of Breitbart. The original story goes viral and the mea culpa gets buried on page 17.
…in a 16 page publication.
Indeed.
What’s the hoax to real ratio at this point? 100:1?
I’m sure the president said that it sparked a good conversation?
This is something i’ve been mulling around in my head lately, about the effects and ease that we are able to keep bad information and truly believe it.
“”So I say, the future is not ‘female’… I am not saying everyone should or will eventually identify as nonbinary. But the future is one where we don’t push a binary norm. The future should be nonbinary. Period.””
https://twitter.com/PPact/status/1067789383804297219
“No, the Future Is Not Female. It’s Nonbinary.
This popular motto is supposed to be a statement about women’s rising power. But this framing feeds into gender binaries that feminists must discard.
But the statement reinforces some very backward ideologies. With colonization came the enforcement of sex, gender, and sexuality binaries, and fierce attempts to erase cultures (like many in the Americas and Africa) that recognized gender identities and presentations outside of a binary, something that white Europeans couldn’t fathom. Whiteness, binaries, and oppression go together. Black-white, male-female, gay-straight: The list goes on and on.
But recognizing that human biology doesn’t operate under binaries isn’t just a cultural perspective. It’s backed up by science’s old guard, which tends to ignore evidence that sex and gender have never been either-or propositions.”
https://rewire.news/article/2018/11/27/future-is-not-female-its-nonbinary/
There are only two sexes, and human sexual dimorphism is strongly bimodal.
The party of science!
PAAAAARRRRRTTTTTTAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
That is some seriously stupid, deluded bullshit.
If you can alter the meanings of words, like they’re managing to do, they’ll be correct.
But recognizing that human biology doesn’t operate under binaries
Outside of a handful statistically irrelevant genetic malfunctions, yes, human biology does indeed operate under the male-female binary.
sex and gender have never been either-or propositions
Sex (which biological), certainly has (again, setting aside genetic malfunctions which can safely be ignored). Gender, which is psychological/social, certainly can be non-binary, but one has to wonder how well it works to divide gender from its biological foundation. How sexual preference and gender fit/overlap, I really couldn’t say and don’t really care. Do what you want with your naughty bits; just don’t send me the bill.
If gender is a social construct/choice, then it is ultimately meaningless. Therefore I can safely ignore those people who want to trumpet their gender of choice.
Sex is biological and therefore, not meaningless.
“If gender is a social construct/choice, then it is ultimately meaningless.”
That isn’t true. Many things are social constructs — race, nationality, etc.
So are fatherhood, piety, mercy, liberal inquiry and the scientific method. And I’ll give them up when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.
I’m pretty sure fatherhood isn’t a social construct, not sure about the others.
Regardless, I wasn’t saying social constructs are bad.
I mean fatherhood as the collection of expectations, responsibilities, and occasional benefits that form a social role. This is distinct from providing a genetic donation to a fertile egg. Lots of men procreate and never act as fathers in the fatherhood role. Adoptive fathers are fathers even if they don’t make the genetic donation.
And I was agreeing with you and providing more examples.
No only aren’t social constructs bad, they are human’s (fairly) unique evolutionary adaptation that made us the most successful multicellular organism.
How ’bout we dispense with the entire concept of gender? AFAICT it’s just a meaningless construct designed to obfuscate biological reality. You have a cock n’ balls, you’re a dood. You have a pussy and ovaries, you’re a chick. Dress however you want, call yourself whatever you want, fuck whomever you want, just shut up about it. You leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone.
And yes, there are a very few people out there with genetic disorders who would probably give their left arm to have been born with normal genitalia.
Scruffy beat me to it and put it more succinctly.
That’s what I say. If you’re a dude who wants to remove your wedding tackle and dress like a lady, go on and get it, son! Do you! Wanna keep the dong but pick up some aftermarket bolt-ons upstairs? Knock yourself out. Are you a woman who enjoys farting in public, crewcuts, and wearing flannel? Grab yourself a tin of dip and do your thing! It’s a great big weird ol’ world and we don’t have a lot of time on it, so I say do what you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody else. But that last bit also includes not suing people who refer to you as a man because you’re a “woman” with a full beard and balls.
I’m still struggling to understand how gender is a meaningless distinction, a holdover from the unenlightened dark ages of 2012 and before, a construct to keep women barefoot and pregnant and men (corporately, somehow) in unearned positions of power… but if you choose one or the other of these crude social inventions that you weren’t “assigned” at birth, progressive white biddies shed tears for your heroism. What?
I mean, isn’t choosing to be a more or less stereotypical woman merely reinforcing those dreadful gender norms? And why aren’t more women choosing to identify as men, since our lives are so privileged and badass? It’s a meaningless distinction, after all, and merely stating that you identify as a man means you are now a man, so you’d think all of these ambitious young women who are being held back by their gender would transition.
Biological female who embraces social gender norms for women: Victim of the patriarchy.
Biological male who embraces social gender norms for women: Brave and heroic.
There’s a conundrum: if you’re a woman but identify as a man, does that make you a privileged shitlord? Wouldn’t you then lose your status within the LGBTQETC community? On the other hand, if it’s all about how you identify and not your chromosomes, why is it less woke or whatever if you’re a man who identifies as a man?
Acceptance isn’t adequate, you gotta praise it.
Praise it? Fuck that! Build altars and temples and somesuch. Man, I’m sorta happy to be getting so old that I don’t give a cat’s fart about any of this except to stand by and watch it all happen. And point. And laugh.
It’s gonna get to the point where if you don’t do it yourself, you’re transphobic. They already kinda took that direction by saying men who don’t wanna fuck transwomen are bigots.
So if I cut a tranny’s dick off, I’m good?
Oh, you meant do it to myself. Hard pass.
How dare you force science on their truth?!
But…if the future can either be binary or nonbinary…wouldn’t that make it binary?
Is there anything–ANYTHING–that isn’t the fault of white Europeans and colonization? Anything at all? It’s amazing the Earth isn’t a smoking cinder.
Really, what it comes down to is how one presents oneself. If you present yourself as female, be prepared to be called “ma’am.” If you present yourself as a male, be prepared to be called “sir.”
Nobody cares enough to ask your preferred pronouns first. Unless you’re a Pat, which only makes you a passive-aggressive douchebag.
This is the crux of the issue, as it were. Who is the cunty one in this situation? The belligerent Tranny or the well meaning but ignorant civilian?

I don’t care how big the wig or ruff, Stephen Fry is instantly recognizable.
She’s buddies with Assange and is one of the few that manages to keep in touch with him. I suspect she’s just repeating something he said to her because she doesn’t exactly strike me as a deep thinker.
She’s dumb as dirt but clever in a way. She’ll ride the fence until she finally goes “Full Bardot” and alienates her fans by becoming old and bizarre.
I don’t think she is dumb as dirt.
Correct. As I stated, she’s got some street-smarts. When she ages out she’ll never be the Grand Dame of anything except maybe a second career as a burlesque dancer. Don’t get me wrong, I am completely neutral in regards to Pamela Anderson but she says about fifty stupid things for every one that she gets right. PETA ring any bells?

All the moral scolds of today miss the point of that song – the woman wants to stay every bit as much as the guy, but needs a plausible excuse, to save her from the moral scolds of that time.
It’s not at all surprising that these mouthbreathers find even innocuous expressions of affections confusing and rapey: they’re rarely shown any.
She also WANTS TO BE PURSUED. And the man is obliging. Which why the feminists of a certain stripe hate the song.
The types concerned about this song are either gamma males who don’t understand that women like being pursued, or are women so repulsive no men pursue them, and they figure if they aren’t getting what they want, no other woman should either. It’s all jealousy and projecting with these types.
There’s also the third type of women who have bought into an arbitrary ideological perspective so deeply they have become unmoored from both the larger society and the biological impulses that make up the human condition.
Not that they come off looking any better than the other two groups…
