Sorry – Thicc Thursday is in a little while yet. You will just have to bat these links around for a bit until then.

- Hi, GOP…(hint, the author is displeased with ObamaCare Lite)
- Liar, lawyer, pants, fire, etc.

OK, bide your time until Thicc Thursday.

I’ve been told that this has already been posted, but I didn’t get a chance to talk about it yet:

Hillary has a punchable face. It’s science.
turns out being a robot and speaking the way she did is just an ugly style.
Jezebel’s hot take is that this finally decisively proves that the only reason HRC lost is because she’s a woman, because even if you reverse the genders, people still hate the woman-in-the-man so much that they vote for the man-in-the-woman, because they inherently hate women.
So… who do I get to punch?
Umm . . . trannies?
That can’t be right.
*gets charts and calculators back out*
I blame Common Core.
Actually it proves what a cunt she really is.
Hey, just a suggestion, but could you consider using archive.is when linking to shit sites like that, so I can visit without giving them any traffic?
(before anyone asks, yes I’m using adblocker. but I don’t even want to give them pageviews, lol.)
I’m over 45, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Go to :
http://archive.is/http://jezebel.com/a-woman-can-be-president-if-shes-a-man-1793099434
And hit “archive this URL” and then link to the archive.is copy, instead of directly to Jezebel.
Even if you don’t care about sending (a frankly insignificant amount of) traffic and SEO to Gawker, this also helps links in older threads stay available if sites, for example, re-do their URL scheme. Media companies, especially local newspapers and TV stations, seem to love changing their URLs.
Wait. These people consistently make the argument that assertive, swaggery women are viewed as “bitchy” in a way that other people don’t like.
Now they’re saying that people find such women heroic and really like them?
They can’t even keep their own arguments straight…
They may even had suggested – nay, asserted full-throatedly with overweening outrage – that that’s precisely why people reacted negatively to HRC – i.e. that she is “bitchy” and “bossy” in ways that people don’t like in women.
Oh yes they can – HRC lost because she’s a woman. They’ve been very straight about that. Maybe not quite in the way you mean . . .
She’s a MAN, baby…punch away!
I thought I saw the GOP one this morning?

The Sun Page 3 back. Loosing 100,000 in daily sales will do that to you.
So a couple years ago I got an instagram account that I posted a few pictures to. I forgot about it and recently my account is being followed by hot women who post sexy pictures. I guess the follow-for-follow thing is how they get attention. I’m not complaining. Instagram gave my phone a neato slut-of-the-day feature.

That headline is bananas.
Post #4 protest: A proper DailyFail link has either a hot chick or Lena Dunham in it. Sort of a Russian Roulette thing.
What ever happened to Sarcasmic, anyway?
I split the difference. HM will cover the hotness, and I won’t touch a Lena Dunham story, not even with asbestos gloves.
*shudder*
OK, you know I have a weakness for the Daily Fail, so here is one from them that makes me jealous of the British way of politics.
Didn’t read. I always get sidetracked by the Daily Mail sidebar.
I completely understand.
I wasn’t aware they covered news from Britain.
Police killing link features our favorite prosecutor for the state.
Wood chipper is the name of uncivilservant’s teeth.
Mongo no like FBI.
I feel this appropriate.
The previous post reminded me of what I think is the most amusing non satire thing I heard from a leftist, about how entrepreneurs make all the money on the backs of the workers. It went something like: you start a business, you hire a person and you make profit off that person’s labor by exploitation. Then you hire a second person, and a third and so on and so forth and the company ends up with 100 employees and the capitalist gets rich at their expenses. Idea concept product sales plans etc don’t enter into it.You just start a business from zero and with no input from you that business reaches 100 employees.
I wonder why more people don’t just start businesses to get rich. Guess how many businesses this guy started? I’ll give you 3 tries.
Ah, the joys of a political intellect powered by “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist”.
Yes it exists. Much beloved of British Trades-Unionists.
STUPID, LAZY, GREEDY OWNERS/CEO’s SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING ALL DAY! OF COURSE I DESERVE THE MONEY THEY MAKE OFF MY BACK!
Stated otherwise – ‘I’m tired of making other people rich’.

That’s pretty bad.
Now, other people have working ones so they can’t be all bad. I still think that the graphical errors and screen buzzing is pretty bad. The fact you can put them together backwards so they can’t come apart is pretty terrible though.

Especially now that the mobile/IP business is booming. $93 million in revenue, and that’s before Super Mario Run comes out on Android.
Sold out up here. I’m totally in otherwise. As long as a console is not just a retarded PC, it has my attention.
The grey one is still in stock at Target around here.
Best Buy and Amazon.ca are sold out. I may have to venture into…ugh…EB Games.
*shudder*
Yes, it’s still called EB Games, not Gamestop up here.
Yeah, super-duper sold out around here. An impulsive thought to buy one crossed my mind but I only really want to play that Zelda game. Maybe I’ll look for a discount WiiU. I don’t game much but nostalgia is one hell of a drug.
I have the WiiU. I play Mario Kart 8 with the kids when they’re behaving. So, not very often.

If Uncivilservant could invent his very own culinary spice, what flavor would it be?
Bland.

•morose salt
In a roundabout fashion he already has. Sawdust is a USDA approved extender.
Sounds like the “miracle bread” found in Leningrad during the WWII siege. Paper dust, potato flour, pine shavings and whatnot all mixed in.
Didn’t the Frenchies grind cadaver bones for bread during a siege one time/
Prussian Siege of Paris 1870
Due to a severe shortage of food, Parisians were forced to slaughter whatever animals at hand. Rats, dogs, cats, and horses were regular fare on restaurant menus. Even Castor and Pollux, the only pair of elephants in Paris, were not spared.
A Christmas menu, 99th day of the siege. Unusual dishes include stuffed donkey’s head, elephant consommé, roast camel, kangaroo stew, antelope terrine, bear ribs, cat with rats, and wolf haunch in deer sauce.
A Latin Quarter menu contemporary with the siege reads in part:
* Consommé de cheval au millet. (horse)
* Brochettes de foie de chien à la maître d’hôtel. (dog)
* Emincé de rable de chat. Sauce mayonnaise. (cat)
* Epaules et filets de chien braisés. Sauce aux tomates. (dog)
* Civet de chat aux champignons. (cat)
* Côtelettes de chien aux petits pois. (dog)
* Salamis de rats. Sauce Robert. (rats)
* Gigots de chien flanqués de ratons. Sauce poivrade. (dog, rats)
* Begonias au jus. (flowers)
* Plum-pudding au rhum et à la Moelle de Cheval. (horse)
Mmm… Sauce Robert.
… but no lupins?
Alistair Horne’s book on the topic, The Siege and The Commune, is awesome.
My favorite bit has an Englishman who’s lived and worked in Paris for years walking around the city few months into the siege. Lights are off and few people are out in the street, as one would expect from city at war with tens of thousands of enemy troops outside.
For the first time, says Horne, the man felt like he was back in London.
Solid proof cooking with lots of butter makes everything good!
The contrast between the savagery of being reduced to eating rat and the civility of printing a fancy menu featuring said rat dish amuses me.
I think this is it.

I wonder if any sort of lesson will be learned…..seems doubtful.
probably not.
Look. I just need her show cancelled because I can’t stand the commercials. They are literally on every single break for a show that airs once a week or month or something. It’s driving me nuts.

Glad I’m not the only one annoyed by the constant Samantha Bee ads. None of her “jokes” have come close to making me smile, much less laugh. My wife gets seriously agitated by her.

But Pruitt’s attempt to sow scientific doubt where little exists alarmed environmental advocates, scientists and former EPA officials, who fear he plans to use such views to attack Obama-era regulations aimed at reining in pollution from the burning of coal and other fossil fuels.
“The world of science is about empirical evidence, not beliefs,” Gina McCarthy, the EPA’s most recent administrator, said in a statement. “When it comes to climate change, the evidence is robust and overwhelmingly clear that the cost of inaction is unacceptably high. Preventing the greatest consequences of climate change is imperative to the health and well-being of all of us who call Earth home.”
She added, “I cannot imagine what additional information the Administrator might want from scientists for him to understand that.”

She’s perfects for leftists who find Trevor Noah too hard to understand.
She has a pretty spot-on mix of smug and ignorant. I think the people who find her funny are people who are ignorant and like that she makes them feel smart.

File Under = Things I always needed in my life but never knew about until now
An Album Devoted Entirely to The Subject of “Streaking”
There are many excellent streaking-themed tunes on the record, including = “Hello Streakers“, “Streaking Land“, the tautological “Streak to Streak“, and the particularly libertarian-minded, “No Tax For Streakers“…
….but i’d have to go with “To Streak With The Devil” as the number which really captures the essence of ‘stripping off your clothes and running through Times Square’
(pictured on the album cover)
There is no ready explanation for any of this other than, “it was the 1970s”
Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.
That one album was probably the catalyst for the entire Punk movement.
I thought Tales from Topographic Oceans was the reason for the punk movement.
Ah – perhaps the most reviled album ever made. And my favorite Yes album, BTW.
My favorite is Relayer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yar10vUjcc
Enjoy.
We need to bring back prog weekends or something.
Amazing with head phones.
It has my favorite guitar “solo” (Moraz plays keyboards over top of it in places)
I’d never noticed that, but it surprises me. The more I’ve listened over the years, it really stands out to me how often Wakeman gets shunted to the background, doing flourishes for Howe’s solos (especially on Topographic Oceans).
I personally like Howe’s earlier guitar work better (Yes Album being his high point, IMHO), but my favorite prog guitar solo is Hackett’s in the “Ikhnatan and Itzhakan and their Band of Merry Section” of Supper’s Ready.
Huh – never could get into Relayer. I was not an appreciator of the turn-toward-jazz, but maybe I’ll revisit now that I’m older.
I like Topographic Oceans because it’s the most Yes-y Yes album, with flaws as deep as its highs. Unlistenable as a whole though – I can only take about 10 minutes at a time. A guilty pleasure of sorts (being more of the punk generation, myself, as a lad I had to keep my Yes and Led Zeppelin albums hidden behind my Dead Kennedys and Bauhaus albums).
I know prog fans will hate me, but I really like Talk, even more than 90125.
And yes, I do like the earlier stuff, too. Close to the Edge is my fave.
Pah. The Yes Album. It was all downhill from there.
Isn’t it strange, I’m also a huge Yes fan from inception thru’ to probably Keys To Ascension, and I find Topographic Oceans deeply unsatisfying, and fit only to be dissected and consumed in tiny pieces.
In fact, if we’re slinging rocks to identify the true harbinger of Punk, I submit to you, Rick Wakeman’s “White Rock”. An unfortunate harbinger-y title if there was one.
It is in its nature. It is their moon-shot. It suffers from all the flaws of Romanticism. They set a blatantly unachievable goal and did great things as they failed to achieve it. They are the exact opposite of The Cars.
What I love most is the ‘essay’ on the inside gatefold where Anderson explains what is clearly a mushroom-induced reverie inspired by a footnote in a pop-Zen book about some hypothetical body of ancient lore that could be used to enlighten the world through rock ‘n roll. As annoying as I find Jon Anderson, if he didn’t exist we would have to invent him.
Wasn’t Spinal Tap based on Yes?
Spinal Tap was an amalgam of a number of 70s arena-rock bands, most of which were more properly straight-up rock/glammish metal. The most often mentioned were bands like Saxon and Uriah Heep (particularly details like “drummers that keep on dying every year”) and UFO and Hawkwind/Motorhead. Harry Schearer (Derek Smalls) went on tour w/ Saxon while writing the film, and stole anecotes about their behavior and their costumes, etc. They also bit a number of stories about the exploits of Michael Schenker + Phil Mogg of UFO, who were partly the basis of the Nigel/David St Hubbins characters. The stage antics (e.g. stonehenge) was lifted from Sabbath/Heep/others…. etc.
Ray Stevens did it best.
I should also add = the music on the record is actually good
(if you enjoy French 70s-library-music jams;)
Why the American Economy is Fucked, ch 9,712
At Cork Wine Bar, owners Khalid Pitts and Diane Gross host corporate dinners, political fundraisers, embassy receptions and an array of other events for clients looking for a casually elegant setting offering more than 200 wines from around the world.
But the couple contend their Logan Circle business would be better off if not for a new player in town who they claim is operating with an unfair and illegal advantage: President Donald Trump, owner of the $212 million Trump International Hotel he opened last fall.
With support from a legal team headlined by the co-founder of Ralph Nader’s advocacy group, Gross and Pitts sued Trump and his D.C. hotel company Wednesday in Superior Court, alleging that the president’s continued ownership of the hotel constitutes unfair competition that damages their business.
Maybe there should be “certificates of need” for wine bars. Competition is just a lot of wasted motion.
Or, maybe we really should just kill all the lawyers.
I’m pretty sure that acting like a smug jackass is a prerequisite for being a wine bar owner.

Texans trade Brock Osweiler to, I’m not shitting you, the Browns…
Time to get let down again!
The Browns have insane amounts of cap space. They basically bought a second round pick. Word is they may release him.
It actually looks like a good move for the Browns, but like the Lions, you can’t trust them not to screw it up. They’re only on the hook for this year and get a 2nd and 4th round pick. They can either trade him, play him, or cut him. If it was any other franchise people would be praising the move like crazy.
Wow, that’s going to give the Texans a ton of room under the cap.
Also, sorry Browns fans.
WHYYYY?! they have some decent young QB’s. They have some great prospects in the draft this year too.
the browns record doesn’t show it, but they lost games last season because they can’t finish or play a full four quarters.
Reading the article the speculation seems to be they’re just trying to get a couple draft picks and using their cap space to achieve that. If they can’t trade him, they’ll cut him.
Of course, this is the Browns, so…
So…whatever the worst possible decision is, they’ll make it.
That makes more sense. I’m a USC guy, so I’m hoping Kessler can make the cut. Really, I don’t think the browns are as bad as we all like to say. I genuinely think they just couldn’t finish in a few games. Bad play calls, pressure, too young/tired. It’s not like every game they had was 21-0 or 28-7.
Hey time to expect some more out the Browns, according to ESPN, the Browns are already looking to trad Brock.
I say this as Houston fan. Tony Romo will be starting the first game for the Texans. Hopefully the young QBs will be okay. But at least they dumped their mistake for the best deal they could and moved on.
Savage did really well.
As a COWBOYS, and Romo, fan I hope you are right.
I like the Texans but I’m a life long Cowboys fan.
Adding Romo to that team may put them over the hump and might result in an all Texas Super Bowl next year.
Vegas odds makers , who are pretty damn smart, have the Boys second only to the Patriots as SB favorites next year.
“A Day Without Men” = One woman takes the idea a little too seriously
That’s horrible.
for whatever reason (and i’m sure there’s shelf-loads of books on the topic), women with otherwise-mild-forms of mental illness seem to have a high-propensity to murder their own children. I recall a few years ago looking into the topic and discovering that you could find about a dozen examples in any 3 month period, if you just go looking for press-reports.
Call it a “medea complex” or something. But they’re always, “not crazy enough to go to the loony bin” but just crazy enough such that when it happens, everyone goes, “we saw it coming”.
this story seems to go into detail on the subject (*can’t read it because muh adblock, but figure i’d link it anyway)
Wow. Some people’s brains are scary places.
Did I ever tell you about my last dinner with Playa?
I was on my best behavior, if I recall. But I might not recall.
You, “Old Man with 1 beer”, might have a better recollection.
TWO BEERS. But you won the farting contest.
And, buried deep in that WaPo article about the wine bar owners suing Trump:
Similar to others pushing legal action against Trump or his companies, Gross and Pitts are active in liberal political causes, with Pitts running for D.C. Council in 2014 and having formerly served as national political director of the Sierra Club and as a campaign director for the Service Employees International Union.
You could knock me down with a feather.
Nice “competition is stealing” quote at the end.
Yeah, noted that myself.
This is a nothing lawsuit that’s going to get thrown out. What it’s going to do is bring attention to these two, and a bunch of left wingers who are probably going to flock to their place.
Which is likely exactly what they want out of this in the first place.
Rule 11 sanctions for their lawyer would do wonders to discourage that stuff.
Rule 11 sanctions are very rare unless there’s truly no legal argument in favor. There’s something of a plausible legal argument here if you really, really stretch things.

And they say the Jerrys have no sense of humor.
20 years ago when cellphones were first becoming ubiquitous, there was a competition to come up with a name for them. One of the suggestions I remember best was “Protzy”, from the German verb meaning “to show off”.

reading about the guy’s story elsewhere, it sounds like he’s definitely ‘not mentally ill’, but rather just obsessed with the idea of living out some Rambo-fantasy.
Sounds like a Manson wanna be.
What I want to know is this: This happened in 2014. Why are we just getting into jury selection THREE YEARS LATER?!
I vaguely remember something about a right to a speedy trial in some book I read in school… ah fuck it, probably wasn’t important.
I read there was a 48-day manhunt for the guy. Would the police spend one-tenth the time looking for anybody who killed a non-cop?

It’s a good investment. You need to know what too drunk to drive feels like.
It could keep you from making a big mistake.
I know what too drunk to drive feels like. It’s too drunk to not get a DUI I need help with.
I don’t drive if I have had any beer. I weigh almost nothing, but my tolerance is big. I made it a blanket rule a few years ago, after driving a friend home from a party. She needed to get home, so I think I made the best call I could that night.
I should know what .08 does feel like though.
Around here it’s zero tolerance if the cop feels like pressing the issue/padding his stats. An ex of mine spent ten days in Tent City and she wasn’t exactly wanting to give it rave reviews on Yelp afterwards.
It’s nice to have Uber, which doesn’t break the bank, as an option nowadays.

Not the most useful impulse buy if you didn’t get calibration solution and plan to keep it from drifting, because it will.
Having an miscalibrated breathalyzer will put you in good company with the local police… that is, they don’t calibrate theirs properly either. Always pick the blood test if you’re ever actually in that situation.
It’s a good way to get the charges tossed. If the PAS wasn’t calibrated in the past week, the whole thing is inadmissible. Provided that your lawyer knows to ask.
But yes, blood is always best. There’s often a 2 hour wait at the hospital.
I once was the Defense Attorney in a mock trial for a guy who hit a kid running across a street at night after having a few drinks at the bar. I questioned the “officer” on the stand about 1) what is the margin of error for the breathalyzer, and 2) when was the last time it was calibrated. She couldn’t answer either question (apparently her info packet didn’t go into too much detail.) I tried to get it thrown out on a technicality, but mock trials don’t work that way. We ended up with a hung jury.
Has anyone shot the glock 43?
I’m still looking for a carry gun. I really should go rent one, but maybe I shouldn’t even look at the thing. I will be shooting whatever I end up with before I buy.
Glock grips feel like a brick in the hand.
Agreed. I have some little rubber grippy thingy that wraps around mine. Feels much more comfortable.
Hogue grip?
Yes, that’s it!
Nice grips.
Talon grips are the bomb.
Doom, I have an M&P Shield that shoots nice. The 43 wasn’t out when i bought it, but I have shot it. Nice gun, but I like the Shield better.
Shoot a bunch of them. A buddy of mine loves his XDS.
I should just spend a day at the range.
My gun guru buddy loves the shield.
I have an XDS. Meh. I’m going with a G42 next time.
That’s .380, isn’t it?
I was assuming Doom wanted a 9mm.
Yeah, 9 would be my goal. could be convinced to go bigger, but 9 seems decently cheap enough to really practice with.
It is.
I don’t have anything in .380. Therefore, I need it.
I have an XD .45. Very happy with it.
The wife has a Ruger GP100.
At some point, I’ll get a 1911. Not sure what brand.
I’m seeing lots of people send them off to be stippled, or stippling it themselves. seems like some work the factory could have done.
which glock do you have them on?
That’s really my fear, just looking at one. If my budget wasn’t tight, I’d look at some nicer things. I also really like 3-4″ revolvers. Grew up with them at camp. but those model 60’s and such are above 700.
Ruger has a nice concealable revolver LCR I believe. I’m a Ruger fan.
The shop in town has a few, I’ll head over to check em out.
Don’t let me sway you from glock either…very reliable weapon. I am personally a fan of West German made Sig Sauer and anything Ruger.
I won’t. It’s all about what fits. It’s just nice to hear some other ideas. I will be looking at that revolver.
LCR 357
The .357 is a little intense…
thus my want for steel or a 3-4″
It takes .38 plus p I believe.
this one fits what I’d want from a revolver.
Shoot .38 out of the .357 for range days, but use .357 if you’re carrying.
Use .38 most of the time. The added weight from more steel makes it less snappy. If yer in bear country, load the 357.
Agreed.
I’ve been looking at this kimber 357 along with a 7 shot SW 686. Both pretty pricey. Probably trade-in one of my Glock .40s which will help.

My one problem with the wheel guns… All the good ones have become really expensive.
Damn. Those are beautiful.
Wheel guns are the coolest.
4″ 686 Plus is a big frickin’ carry piece. As of about 4 weeks ago, it had finally reached seniority on the #6 Post Captain’s list, so a purchase is relatively imminent.
Like most (all?) true carry revolvers, the LCRs suck if you want/like to practice a lot, and have hands any bigger than Barron Trump. They’re great guns, and I have to say, If I had a need to carry, a 9mm LCR would be on my shortlist, but (and I repeat myself here) they’re not much fun to shoot.
i am not a regular shooter or owner, but everyone seems to universally rave about the S&W shield in the ‘single stack 9’ category
Yeah, my buddy who owns a shit load of guns swears by the M&P single stack. Thin grip going to be much more comfortable if you want to do an IWB. They have a .45 M&P I might look at. I’m a .45 guy.
I’d probably(?) end up IWB. I own no guns right now, but the first one I get should be carryable. I can work my way out from there.
45’s have a push recoil that feels much better and accurate than 9’s and the like. My next pistol.
that’s good to know. I don’t think I’ve ever shot a 45. If I did, it was once. 44 from a revolver with a 6″, lots of .357’s and 9mm.
Yeah, I love my stainless Officers Special. Really finally with ammo though. Fit a new Wilson Barrel Bushing on it which really tightened up the group’s. They we already pretty good.
Finicky not finally. Fucking auto correct
Yeah, I much prefer the .45 recoil to the .40.
I carry mine all day, every day IWB in a plain Remora. Effortless, even in shorts and t shirt.
M&P single 9? It’s that, and now I suppose that ruger is in the mix. I’ll try to get my hands on all of them to see which seems to fit best.
Yep. M&P Shield 9. Also available in .40 and .45.
I live in the People’s Republic of California. So, that’s not an option for me.
My wife and I will be moving out of state shortly after she retires. Alas, that’s not for another 11 years.
I personally recommend an XDS. Better sights, slightly more ergonomic, better capacity, and right now Springfield will give you 4 mags and a holster with any new handgun you buy with their logo on it. The trigger is not as good, but overall I think its a better deal.
The 43 is a fine gun. Pick it up, slam in a loaded mag, point it at something you want damaged, pull the trigger,
If you’re a functionalist at heart, and that’s all you want your gun for, it’s hard to beat. As with all gats, just make sure that it passes muster ergonomically.
I will go to a shop and get them all in my hand. Thats the real test i suppose. Thanks for the input guys
Brick in hand
Probably wouldn’t work if you have large hands, but I just got a sig sauer P938 for my carry gun and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s not rough to shoot with despite being small and slim enough to easily conceal, and it’s just heavy enough for my liking.
I’ve hated the smaller glocks I’ve tried and found them to be too painful too want to put in any range time with.
I’m still looking for a carry gun.
I know a few people who are big fans of the Ruger LCP (I think). If you like purse guns…
no .380 unless it’s a ppk.
I have a PPK. Good a good deal on it from a friend. If I were buying a nee .380 for carry, I’d go for a pocket pistol. Like the Ruger.
Buddy bought the Glock .380. raves about it. Have not shot.
It even comes in pink.
So kawaii!
Try again
“Not everyone thinks its a bad idea” = possibly the highest praise we will ever see from the press re: Trump policy.
Say wut?
For a website called glibertarians you guys sure are…oh wait, carry on.
Can we drink, anyway?
I’m not the boss of you.
If I’m mixing Red Bull and wine, what’s the proper ratio?
Asking for a friend.
Send it to advice@glibertarians.com asshole
Time for a glibertarians 8-ball email responder
That seems like an accelerated hangover waiting to happen
1 Part Vodka to 0 parts Red Bull and 0 Parts Wine
And we now know the spice of choice for UnCivil.
UnCivilServant gets it
But still hates it.
No, I drink Vodka.
It’s a bit flavorless…
1:1, add a dash of No Xplode.
About one tablespoon of arsenic with every glass.

the author is displeased with ObamaCare Lite
I’m going with “ObamaCare, Jr.”
Not a bad choice.
Personally, I’m inclined toward “The Festering Spawn of Obamacare”.
Third try.
What do you call it when somebody openly solicits some random stranger to commit a federal crime?
The early days of the Trump administration have turned Washington into a land of leaks, with a national security adviser’s telephone calls, raw intelligence dossiers and confidential C.I.A. surveillance schemes spilling into the public. But the holy grail of leaks remains elusive: President Trump’s tax returns.
As taxpayers scramble to file their own returns and Republicans push to overhaul the tax code, attention has shifted back to Mr. Trump’s taxes and how he could benefit from the sweeping legislation he hopes to sign. Looking for the ultimate leak, opponents of Mr. Trump have wondered aloud how it could be that top intelligence agencies are suddenly fonts of classified information while the staid tax collector remains hermetically sealed.
“The American people deserve to know what conflicts of interest are hiding in Trump’s taxes,” said Delvone Michael, a member of the Tax March executive committee, which is organizing a mass demonstration to call for the release of the tax returns next month. “Every president in a generation has released his taxes. Trump must too.”
There must be hundreds of IRS employees eager to throw themselves into the volcano for the amusement of a bunch of journalists and political hacks.
Samantha Bee will probably come visit you in the federal minimum security facility in Danbury every weekend. She’ll even bring cake.

Make Club Fed great again!
I was kinda enjoying the shadenfreude of a crooked murdering cop killing himself until I got to the last line of the article.
Crooked cop built like truck.. whats the over under on him being a wife beater? Wouldn’t shed too many tears.
“Alexa, are you connected to the CIA?”
Of course not. That would be illegal. I am connected to China, Russia, Great Britain, India, Germany, and Moldova. Would you like me to connect you?

I just read a snowflake post all excited that they’ve defeated the “fascist bill that seeks to employ asset forfeiture against peaceful protestors” (the AZ bill). I’ve written three tries at a response and keep getting more irate at their ignorance.
like, I’m glad you see this is bad, but HELLO idiots, this is happening everywhere. And if you only think this is a bad practice because it can be used against protestors, I don’t know where to start.
Saw a reference to this on the CNN news ticker at the gym this afternoon (don’t judge me).
As always….the complete absence of any physical details on the [arrested] perpetrator says it all.
“witnesses saw someone start attacking people with an axe”
Could have been anyone. The Red Brigade, IRA, Russians smoking baths salts…
