- Howard Root, founder and CEO of Vascular Solutions, was found not guilty on federal charges spearheaded by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates. Yes, that Sally Yates. The actions of the federal government under her control were described by one juror as “nothing short of criminal”.
By the gram? That’s how you know it’s bad for you.
- Kerrygold butter, one of the premier dairy products on the market, cannot be sold in Wisconsin. I’m sure there are perfectly legitimate and logical reasons to protecting consumers from a noted dairy established in 1961, and protecting the Wisconsin dairy farm lobbying interests had nothing to do with it.
- Daniel Crowninshield was sentenced to 41 months in prison for “unlawfully manufacturing firearms”. Special Agent in Charge Jill A. Snyder, of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said that Crowninshield “owned and operated a machine shop where he allowed customers with unknown backgrounds to use his machinery to unlawfully manufacture firearms for profit. That activity posed a very dangerous threat to the safety of our communities.”
- Avik Roy knows how to set a gal’s pants on fire. That’s hot. There are graphs.

I guess that’s a good idea, but in this particular case the natural reaction I have to this story isn’t particularly sinful.
I meant the opposite of the bunk

The President of Iceland wants to ban pineapple pizza
Which for some reason puts me in mind of a joke that some of you might enjoy:
A man writes into a British newspaper advice column:
I am a sailor in the New Zealand Navy. My parents live in the suburb of Seatoun and one of my sisters, who lives in Palmerston North, is married to a guy from Manchester, England. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my two sisters, who are prostitutes in Auckland.I have two brothers, one who is currently serving a non-parole life sentence in Mount Eaden Prison, Auckland, for the rape & murder of a teenage boy in 1994, the other currently being held in the Wellington remand centre on charges of incest with his three children. I have recently become engaged to marry a former Thai prostitute who lives in Christchurch and indeed is still a part time “working girl” in a brothel, however, her time there is limited as she has recently been infected with an STD. We intend to marry as soon as possible and are currently looking into the possibility of opening our own brothel with my fiancee utilising her knowledge of the industry, working as the manager. I am hoping my two sisters would be interested in joining our team. Although I would prefer them not to prostitute themselves, at least it would get them off the streets and hopefully the heroin.
My problem is this: I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing her into the family and of course I want to be totally honest with her. Should I tell her about my brother-in-law being a United fan?
That’s a long add joke. But funny
*long ass, dammit
Have heard that joke many times. Never ceases to be funny.
Fuck Manchester United.
FUCK YOU.
Right on, brother
No, no.
Fuck you.
Meh, least you’re not a Chelsea fan.
They should have received a severe punishment for what they did to Anders Frisk.
I wasn’t aware of that Anders Frisk story but WTF it’s not like I need any more reasons to loathe Chelsea so thanks.
Seconded
Fuck soccer, you commie bastards

I’ll take that from you as long as you aren’t a baseball fan.

Wisconsin county wants ‘Pokemon Go’ to pay for use of parks
Holy Christ. Surely, if the parks dept could set up a beef stew stand to generate revenue.
So what I’m getting out of today’s links is Fuck Wisconsin.
BAN WISCONSIN!!
It’s like taking a cold shower, but makes you feel dirty.
That’s a generous offer, but is Wisconsin really worthy?
I’m beginning to doubt that even Russel Ziskey could get his ass kicked there these days.
When Making A Murderer is the most interesting thing about your state, you are truly fucked.
Not surprised that they are still crazy trying to protect their dairy. My mom lived there during WWII and if you purchased margarine it was off white and came with a packet of yellow. If you wanted to make it yellow you had to melt the margarine and stir in the yellow goo. My uncle swore that they kept that law until the mid-1960’s.
I was raised a Packers fan but the state is very odd.
Actually, that was pretty much everywhere. The Wisconsin dairy industry was largely responsible for the legislation, but other states – especially big dairy states – passed it in quick succession, long before WWII. I think it was somewhere around the turn of the last century.
Your uncle is correct. Wisconsin didn’t get rid of the margarine color legislation until the late 1960s.
Do people still play Pokemon Go?
Yes. They added Gen 2 recently. I take my nieces and nephews to the park all the time.
This is straight up extortion (as all taxes are), but on a more transparent level.
I tried that Kerrygold butter once and it tasted gamey to me. Probably just not used to it.
Is this a lube story? ?
No, I’ll leave those to jesse.
Aaaaaand he’s here
Hurtful, both of you.
Do you like other cultured butters?
I like mine provincial and unspoiled.
Somehow I think this is appropriate.
We use a ton of it. For the money, it’s pretty damn good.
Funny you say that. I love using it to pan roast venison tenderloin as the flavors really complement each other. Nobody else I know seems to notice, but it makes the pan drippings taste incredible.
I don’t like the taste of grass-fed beef either, FWIW.
ಠ_ಠ
Swiss? Swiss? Dammit…
*narrows gaze*
Late, but needed.
*narrows gaze*
I resisted buying it forever because I am a fundamentally cheap man and paying 6 bucks for half as much butter as I can get for 3 pained me. Bought it once at my kids’ request, and now we use it all the time.
Yeah, I’m a cheapskate too. Well, it’s not like I’m a high earner anyway. 🙁
I have never and will never try it. The Kerrygold branded swiss cheese was easily the worst I have ever tried.
Ah, yes. Sally Yates, of the infamous “Yates Memo”, instructing prosecutors that whenever they went after a business, she wanted actual human scalps on the wall. Every time. Thus, the misconduct in this case.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of technical violations of federal law that businesses can commit that do not require any criminal intent or activity by actual human beings. But Yates wanted scalps, dammit. Scalps of those scumbag 1 percenter executives.
Good riddance to bad garbage. Now, if the new AG or one of his minions will just retract the Yates Memo.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of technical violations of federal law that businesses can commit that do not require any criminal intent or activity by actual human beings.
Wait a minute, how long has this been going on?
Since 1789?
State rep introduces bill to stop Texans from using Chilean flag emoji
I have no idea where to find the emoji in my smarthone’s messaging app.
I had no clue until my 7 year old daughter showed me how.
I’m already one of those old people who needs to be shown how to use technology by a young’n.
So Chile is Laurel, and Texas is Hardy?
Texas is ??
Chile is ?
Texas taxpayer confidence in state reps restored.
There’s a reason we only let them meet a few weeks every two years.
I want to believe the following conversation occurred:
“Damm it Tom, we only meet a for a couple weeks every other year, and you’re wasting time with this bullshit! We have taxes to pass! Regulations to enact!”
“Exactly. Gonna talk about this damn fool emoji thing instead. Get the fuck out of my office.”

“White House Fingers John McCain As Media Leak”
http://truepundit.com/exclusive-white-house-fingers-john-mccain-as-media-leak-believes-u-s-senator-eavesdropped-on-trumps-classified-phone/
If that’s true, wouldn’t that be a violation of wiretapping laws since McCain isn’t a sworn peace officer with a warrant that had been approved by a judge?
Serious question.
I’m assuming this is a crude attempt at a two-fer (since the drooling idiots of the left love them some drooling idiot of the right).
And he doesn’t get the congressional exemption since this isn’t part of his job.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
…that sounded like the beginning of a SugarFree story.
Phrasing!
Well, on the bright side, as we traipse back down the path to the bad old Lawn Order Republicans, we’ll get to watch this administration and the establishment eat each other.

Make sure to use Kerrygold butter on the popcorn
Even SugarFree would balk at fingering McCain. Trump’s America….
I am not sure how McGramps would get hold of the info. I can see him handing it to the press which at first glance appears to be a serious crime…but he got it from someone in the intelligence community.

“MODESTO, CALIF. It took all of six minutes for San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy to rouse a crowd of nearly 700 community organizers and social justice “protagonistas” by calling them to become disrupters and rebuilders amid current American politics.
The speech, 20 minutes in length but interrupted nearly two dozen times by cheers and applause, took head on key policies of the early presidency of Donald Trump.
““President Trump was the candidate of disruption. He was the disrupter, he said,” McElroy told those gathered here Saturday morning for the U.S. regional meeting of the World Meeting of Popular Movements. “Well now, we must all become disrupters.”
““We must disrupt those who would seek to send troops into our streets to deport the undocumented, to rip mothers and fathers from their families. We must disrupt those who portray refugees as enemies, rather than our brothers and sisters in terrible need. We must disrupt those who train us to see Muslim men and women and children as sources of fear rather than as children of God. We must disrupt those who seek to rob our medical care, especially from the poor. We must disrupt those who would take even food stamps and nutrition assistance from the mouths of children,” the bishop said.”
I’ve noticed that NY’s archbishop has stayed not woke as I expected.
So tedious
So…second Cadaver Synod when Francis pops the clogs?

Bears seeking trade for Jay Cutler. Yet Trump is SILENT.

Thank you. I’m missing what Trump is doing wrong here.

The same conference, covered in a somewhat more conservative Catholic site
“POPE AND CLERGY OFFER REMARKS AT MARXIST-INSPIRED EVENT
“‘Conferences like these are a replaying of the trial of Our Blessed Lord, where the crowd called for Barabbas, rather than Christ’
“Michael Hichborn of the Lepanto Institute told Church Militant, “The Catholic Campaign for Human Development had a long history of funding Marxist organizations. The CCHD, as well as PICO and Gamaliel, are the brain-children of Marxist radical Saul Alinsky.”
“”When examining these groups in an historical context, it’s pretty clear that they follow the model of communist front groups,” he explained….
“Hichborn remarked, “Considering the presence of Marxists and population-control enthusiasts at the Pontifical Academy of Social Science, I think the timing of this event in California and the population control meeting taking place in Rome at the end of the month is not a coincidence.”
“While these movements appear to be Catholic-friendly, Hichborn clarified that they arise from a spirit of rebellion: “So-called ‘popular movements,’ which are rooted in materialist revolutionist ideals, have no concern for the salvation of souls, but seek to create chaos, division, confusion, and ultimately, violence,” he said. “By agitating poor and uneducated people with speeches and marches about inequality, these movements water the seeds of pride, envy and wrath.””
Wait, dont y’all have a relatively new pope? As soon as he finds out about this he will put a stop to it.
We were spoiled with a string of good Popes – not perfect, but good ones.
Now we get to find out what late-medieval Europeans knew: What it’s like to be under a bad Pope.
I’m sure there’s a Milo joke there somewhere…
St. Louis just added a new protected-class status to its “civil rights” ordinance – you’ll never guess what it is!
Russians?
Number 6 will amaze you!
HINT: Rhymes with “contortion.”
extortion?
Damn your nimble contortionist fingers!
Extortionists are a protected class?
If it’s abortion, I’m going to blame you.
It’s a legitimate news article, they’re telling landlords and businesses they can’t discriminate against women because they’ve had abortions.
And the state legislature is thinking of undoing what St. Louis is doing.
Hey, it wasn’t me, I’m just the linker.
Is this another example of Don’t Mention the War?
I can always do cat videos, but they don’t seem as substantive.
Women shouldn’t be telling prospective landlords they’ve had an abortion. After all, it’s a choice.
What’s next, protected status for furries and Juggalos?
It may also apply if a Planned Parenthood wants to rent space from a prolife mall owner, for example.
Of course they have to tell everyone, so everyone can fawningly tell them how wonderful they were for fucking, conceiving and terminating.
And Lord help you if you refuse to bake the juggalos a Faygo cake.
Enlighten me. I’m trying to imagine a scenario where it would even be brought up with an employer or a landlord
From the article, they’re worried about prolife pregnancy centers requiring their staff to be prolife, and landlords renting to abortion clinics.
The link in the article, purportedly toward the remedial state bill, doesn’t seem to provide the text, so the details are unclear to me.
OK, I found the ordinance
“An ordinance to prohibit discrimination based on a person’s reproductive health decisions or pregnancy; and containing a severability clause and an emergency clause.”
“…It shall be a prohibited discriminatory employment practice…For an employer to fail or refuse to hire, to discharge or otherwise to discriminate against any individuals with respect to compensation or the terms, conditions or privileges of employment, because of their reproductive health decisions or pregnancy status (including childbirth or a related medical condition). However, nothing in this ordinance shall require a religious institution, corporation, association, or society to provide reproductive health benefits of any kind…”
[labor unions can’d discriminate either, etc.]
“(6) Nothing in this Ordinance shall prohibit a religious institution, corporation, association, society, health care facility or educational institution with historic religious affiliation from:
i. Prohibiting the provision of any reproductive health service on property owned or leased by it;
ii. Refusing to provide or pay for any reproductive health service to any patient, student or employee; or
iii. Refusing to provide health insurance coverage to any employee for any reproductive health service….
“It shall be a prohibited housing or realty practice and shall constitute a discriminatory housing
14 practice… For any person, including, without limitation any real estate broker, salesman or agent, or any employee thereof, to discriminate against any individuals because of their reproductive health decisions or pregnancy status (including childbirth or a related medical condition), with respect to the use, enjoyment or transfer, or prospective use, enjoyment or transfer, of any interest whatsoever in realty, or with respect to the terms, conditions, privileges or services granted or rendered in connection therewith, or with respect to the making or purchasing of loans for the purchase or maintenance of residential real estate or loans in the secondary market, or the provision of other financial assistance, or with respect to the terms, conditions, privileges or services granted or rendered in connection with any interest whatsoever in realty, or with respect to the making of loans secured by residential real estate”
[also exempts religious institutions or institutions with historic religious affiliation]
Behold the ordinance
Bans discrimination in employment or real estate transactions based on “reproductive decisions,” exceptions for religious institutions or institutions which have historically had a religious affiliation.
Nevermind, I got it
Well, at least we still have Eddy to introduce abortion into unrelated threads…
I keed, Eddy, I keed. You’re alright.
Haven’t the proggies made so many groups protected and special that they have encompassed the entire human race by now?
With a few exceptions, like right-wing religious nuts, and Republicans…and white Southerners.
Am a white southerner, can confirm.
Don’t worry, white gay men are about to drop out of protected status. Also passing transgenders.

She is so woke she spells her name wrong and wants you to know it.
She just went with S&S because she wanted to throw a little something nice their way. So altruistic.
Am I the only one with a major problem with this statement? I hear it a lot lately.
There should be freedom from many of the “consequences” that could befall a person in retaliation for something they said. I know most people mean some sort of ostracism when they say consequences, but it also seems that anything is fair game.
Chicago wants to name a street after terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera. For some reason, the child of one of his victims has a problem with that.
You know what Chicago, you’re on the list.
Without government, who will name the ROADZ after terrorists?
The Somali people?
Chicago loves glorifying it’s shitty pizza and shitty criminals.
But is the pizza criminally shitty?
Yes. I hate it as we all know MY FEELINGS matter.
To be fair, it’s just one woke alderman, not “Chicago”. Watch it pass.
It passed a committee though. Just needs to go through the full board. Probably will fail now, but wouldn’t have if this guy hadn’t made noise about it.
This is weird… why have i heard nothing about this in the news today (or yesterday), and yet somehow i’ve heard 100 stories about @#*)$&@*( SWEDEN?

I suppose the answer (having read the link) is, “Because you didn’t read the WSJ, jackass”

I have to really hand it to Donald Trump. Judging by the headlines I’ve read, he’s accomplished more in 1 month in office than Obama, Bush and Clinton did combined in 24 years.
And he’s almost literally Hitler, too
At least they identified the problem group to ensure that others could separate themselves from them.
Nice avatar.
Everything is Hitler.
Imagine how much better off Hitler would have been if instead of steamrolling over Europe he just registered a trademark on his name.
But that would literally make him like Trump!

Canada will continue to accept asylum seekers crossing illegally from the United States but will ensure security measures are taken to keep Canadians safe, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday.

“Kerrygold butter, one of the premier dairy products on the market, cannot be sold in Wisconsin”
Yeah, well Wisconsin sucks. I mean it’s cold AND you can’t buy the butter that you want, right?
Did you know that centuries… millennia ago, they were so ahead of that game. In the fair isle which is now known as the UK, the made butter and they buried it in the bog. I have no idea really, why they did that, but I suppose because there were no refrigerators. Or maybe because the vikings were coming and they really craved butter. It was called ‘bog butter’. No shit. And sometimes, apparently they would forgot where they buried it. So anyone could just go out and dig in the bog all day and on a good day, they would find some butter! Free from government snooping! You can even dig it up 2000 years after it was buried and you can still eat it! When’s the last time you tried to eat some 2000 year old butter out of the fridge? They had advanced alien butter technology!
Question: Is the “posted at” time EST? Or did I see something about CST?
Everything is CST.

Ok. I assumed that the post shows for everyone in their own time zone? I’m EST and it’s showing correctly for me. Central time it’s now just after 8PM, but I’m seeing 9:02 on that last post.
All the post times show in CST for me. The one I’m replying to says 8:04, for example. I’m PST. You can probably change it in your account settings or something.

From the Yates story at Powerline:
According to the Yates Memo, prosecutors must “focus on individual wrongdoing from the very beginning” of every corporate investigation and “fully leverage” resources to identify individuals for prosecution. Instead of a balanced approach to justice, the Yates Memo advocates an obsession with individual criminal prosecutions in order to recover “as much money as possible.”
I guess Sally has been listening to those people whining about “No banksterz went to jail!”
So out of curiosity I dropped over to the old neighborhood and sure enough dajjal was nowhere to be seen about the same time that CM has been stomping around here. It must have been so tempted to trot out a “Trumpencuckenwhatever” but couldn’t since that would’ve been a dead giveaway.

I took a look at number of responses to those articles compared to the others, and, well…. only worse thing than being talked about is NOT being talked about.
