Wow, I’m first? Was everyone else afraid of the “prize” they’d get for the first comment?
STEVE SMITH DEPLOY PRIZE NOW
AND BY PRIZE, MEAN
well, you can work it out.
Hopefully you can work it out … with a lot of KY and some tongs. If you can’t you may have to go to the ER and have a professional work it out.
Like a cat dong, it is barbed.
STEVE SMITH MORE OF A CORKSCREW SHAPE.
My first “1”. I’d like to thank Harvey Weinstein. Seriously, without his work this post wouldn’t even exist.
WHAT STEVE SMITH OPINION ON SORORITY GIRL CULTURAL APPROPRIATION?
http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/03/sorority-system-condemns-member-for-dressing-up-as-pocahontas/
COLLEGE GIRL DRESS SLUTTY FOR HALLOWEEN, BUT WRONG KIND OF SLUTTY
https://twitter.com/reaganwest_xo
SHE STUPIDLY APOLOGIZES
HOW CAN SOLUTION BE RAPE, WHEN THOSE ANGRY ALREADY BUTT HURT?
One of my daughters friends that she went trick or treating with (she’s 8, people) was dressed as Pocohontas. I was personally very offended by such cultural appropriation. Even worse, her sister (she’s 2, people) was dressed up as Moana.
I was so triggered.
Oh, and her cousin and younger brother were both dressed as police officers, which was an act of violence against any PoC in the neighborhood.
(the friend’s cousin and younger brother. I’ve only got the one kid. How do people survive more than one kid?)
Alcohol. That’s how my very large Irish family copes, anyway.
That’s how the Irish cope with everything
Way to collectivize us.
*takes a swig*
That’s how
the IrishI cope with everything*opens bottle of kirschwasser*
I am married to an Irish woman and suffered under the yoke of Irish Catholic educators for twelve years of my life. I now live in a heavily Irish part of Chicago where everyone’s arms are pasty white, but their faces are rosy red.
I have been oppressed by the Irish all of my life. It is a love/hate relationship
Is there a better way to cope?
*Looks at clock, looks over at tap handles*
Yep.
*PSHHH*
Was that a beer opening?
If you were Irish, you’d know.
Because of The Curse?
4 kids here
Mostly we don’t
Was she like literally wearing brown people skin?
My 4yr old nephew was a ninja (strike one) and his face was painted black (strike two)!!!!11!!!
What’s the difference between celebrating other cultures and appropriating other cultures, anyway?
“It’s not the content of your character, but the color of your skin”- that dude they name streets after
– in really bad neighborhoods
It’s celebrating when it’s forced, like “celebrating” diversity. If you do it on your own, it’s appropriating.
What’s the difference between celebrating other cultures and appropriating other cultures, anyway?
If you derive any happiness, joy or benefit from it, it’s appropriation. If you do it to demonstrate your obeisance to the noble victims of Western Cultural Oppression ™, it’s celebrating.
Where you sit on the intersectional victimization matrix
<— Dresses up as Amos and Andy
When I was a lad, the Chicago Bears had won the Super Bowl which was (and remains) a super big deal in the city’s neighborhoods. My parents dressed me in Walter Peyton’s jersey for Halloween. No one seemed to think that was a problem, but I wonder if that would be considered cultural appropriation today, because I didn’t share Peyton’s skin color
Cancer-zombie sweetness Halloween costume might be offensive.
When stuff like that happens, I’d bet that a significant portion of black people get pretty pissed off at white people for making this kind of thing a big deal. If you have a legitimate issue with society, its annoying to have it reduced to petty bullshit.
How is it cultural appropriation to go as Lizzie Warren?
Normally when progs pull this shit I find it somewhat amusing, but I get super pissed when they go after hot chicks.
How horrible of a cis-Nazi shitlord does that make me?
From one of the twits: white people dont (sic) get to decide what is and is not racist.
Perhaps, Skippy. But we do choose to whether or not to give a shit about your cries of “racism”. And it’s a currency you’ve long ago debased to the point of worthlessness. Which is a shame for you because, when you get to the heart of the matter, that’s all you’ve really got going for you.
Actually, white people have as much right as anyone to decide whether a thing is racist or not. To believe otherwise is itself racist.
Less attractive white chicks championing the supposed plight of non-white chicks, publically shame an attractive white chick. More at 11.
Ah, who am I kidding? It’s a bunch of the same shit at 11.
LEAVE RAPE TO RAPESQUATCHES
This is how we end up with rape guilds.
*PICKETS JESSE’S HOUSE, BY PICKETS MEAN RAPES REPEATEDLY*
Jesse is just angling for the lucrative lube supplier contract.
Careful, a lot of the old wood on that house is splintery, I’d hate for you to injure the tools of your chosen trade.
How *is* the The Rapist Guild mutual aid society?
RAPE GUILD NOT TALK ABOUT RAPE GUILD TO SCABS
THE FIRST RULE OF RAPEGUILD IS DO NOT TAKE NO FOR ANSWER
THE SECOND RULE OF RAPEGUILD IS DO NOT TAKE NO FOR ANSWER

Can you fix his lawn while you’re there?
What lawn?
OH NO YOU DIDN’T
I’m just warding against future drought conditions.
I recommend a controlled burn before mid-March.
*over Jesse’s place*
There’s not enough dead plant matter to actually burn. This is all very unfair.
from the Spacey story:
This could could be a cultural misunderstanding, because as many of were amused to find out in middle school they don’t always call them cigarettes over there.
Maybe he just need some reassurance?
I can just see it:
Spacey: Hey, where’s the other bartender?
Waitress: He’s outside having a fag.
Spacey: Awesome! *heads for exit*
Am I bad for laughing at loud at that?
No more or less bad than the rest of us here…
*haunted stare*
/lights fag…
He could try the George Costanza defense:
“Was that wrong? I got to tell you, I’m going to have to plead ignorance here. I didn’t know that stuff like that was frowned down upon here”
“Hey, you ever seen that movie with the body carrying around its own head and it goes down on that babe?”
Cigarette break = jerking a fag in the UK.
This is how we end up with rape guilds.
Do you want a giant inflatable rapesquatche in front of your house? This is how you get giant inflatable rapesquatches in front of your house.
SOLIDARITY, BROTHER!
Well shit. I have to travel to India for work in exactly one week and I CAN’T FIND MY FUCKING PASSPORT.
Shit. Fuck. Cockassballshittyshittyfucksometittyeatingyourmomsassshitcockbitchslut. SHIT.

That, or an ISIS operative stole it.
Where did you last have it?
#PatentlyUnhelpfulSpouse
Where was the last place you put it?
/not helpful
I’ve used Transvisa and Cibit for fast turn Passports and Chinese visas. They can do it quick for a fee. If the company is paying and they are sending you I would use a service.
I had to get one with only 5 days to spare.
You’re probably going to have to have it next day aired from the National Passport Center in New Hampshire.
They’ll do it for a small, large fee.
“Pray to St. Anthony”- My Catholic mom.
order RFID scanner from Amazon and attempt to find it that way.
*makes note to check for own passport tonight*
Also,
https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/services/expedited.html
I love their definition of “Prompt” and “Expedited”
It makes my agency look responsive by comparison.
When I dealt with them, they did a great job. The guy was really helpful, called me back twice when my cell phone dropped the call, and got it to me by the next day.
I had to get my first passport expedited and it went off without a hitch. There was a couple who had flown in, applied in person at the LA Federal Building that morning and were picking up their passport that afternoon.
Everyone else there was chatting them up to figure out what the fuck was fucking wrong with them.
I hate the Federal Building on Wilshire. Hate it. It’s worse than TSA security.
Thanks.
Does that actually work?
Think back to the last time you had in your hand. The passport.
OH GOD, No!!! I don’t want to go back to that Azeri Customs room in the Baku airport!!!!!!
Thank you, we come again.
*Guard swaggers out, hooking pistol belt back on, goat is led out the side door*
And I’m back in Dublin now. Wait… that means…
*Checks clock; realizes it’s after 17:00*
Do you even have to wait until after 5 in Ireland?
I sure as hell didn’t.
Earlier this morning while posting FLBP, making my coworkers uncomfortable… oh wait, should have read to the end of your post.

*sighs*
Am I the only person who keeps track of their passport?
I haven’t left the country in several years, but I still know exactly where it is. I even saw it there recently.
You are the only person here. We are all just figments of your imagination.
Tulpae
Am I the only person who keeps track of their passport?
Mine is inside a fire safe, inside my gun safe. I assumed we all had go bags with critical documents and assorted currency. For shame.
And you’ve forgotten both combinations…
I sent myself an email with the codes, that way as long as I have internet access I can recover them. Yes, the combinations are coded in a way they don’t look like safe combos.
I think I see a hole in your emergency planning…
We have docs in a fire box and guns in a gun locker, both locked with keys. I take a pretty blase approach to securing personal, paper documents because I have terrible credit, two large dogs, and my limited budget means that most of the time I’m sitting inside my house no further than one room away from said gun locker.
About the only thing that takes out internet for me is nuclear war and hurricanes. I’m not really concerned about forgetting the safe combo because that’s where I keep my guns and I shoot at least once a week.
The master key can open anything you want given enough time. #powersaw
A bug-out bag is for when you don’t have enough time.
I’m familiar with a bug out bag. Mine is under my desk.
…and bugging out in AZ means you’re probably just going to die in the desert. Better to “bug-in.”
But for Florida Man, sitting there cutting open two safes means the hurricane gone and got him.
And yet he has that part figured out. ; )
And yet he has that part figured out and I’m in the desert watching the hurricane on the news. ; )
If I’m killed by a hurricane, I derserved it.
whoa, double tap.
In Florida Man’s go bag:
Porno magazines, a large box of condoms, a bottle of Old Harper, a couple of panty shields, some illegal fireworks, AND one of those disposable enemas. No, make it two.
You forgot Meth and a straight razor.
It’s a Homer Simpson quote.
The sale of fireworks are prohibited by law in this state
*other customer leaves*
Right this way.
Re: two disposable enemas.
You need both a soap suds and a mineral oil enema because you won’t know what cuisine you may have to eat on the run. I’ve done the planning so you don’t have to. You’re welcome.
Whatever you’re planning, count me out.
The old Harper reference is from American Graffiti. The liquor store scene.
No. Its squirreled away on top of the fireproof safe. Why is it on the safe and not in it you ask? Because my wife probably put it there and couldn’t figure out how to open it. We own a unlocked steel box.
So I’m not the only one.
Get your company to pay for passport express. I got a 24 turnaround passport and China visa with them.
Spacey sat down next to him, flashed his privates and said: “It’s big, isn’t it?”
Slightly better than, “Does this look infected?”
Am I the only one that doesn’t think that’s a big deal? The proper response is to whip yours out and say “I’ve seen better…every day”.
That would only encourage him.
THats how you get the big payout, brother.
“I’ve seen better…every day”.
Go on…
Being that I’m probably the only man to have seen more penis than you Jesse, I’ll share a pro tip. If you enjoy large dongus, look for a rail thin, tall man. I’m not sure if the pituitary gland got confused and said “abandon all effort except penis growth” or what, but that’s a pretty bulletproof way of knowing before you buy. You’re welcome.
That’s fairly consistent with my observations. Does not guarantee that he’ll use it as anything more than decoration unfortunately.
My take on that is, people with great gifts can be lazy because they haven’t had to work as hard.
Eh, I’ve run into a lot of really well-endowed bottoms. It seems like an enormous waste, but I generally assume that most people aren’t going to be able to deal with the overly well-endowed-ness without a ton of warm up or there’s a bloodflow issue.
Blood flow issue? You mean like having a penis so large you pass out when you get an erection? I’m intrigued.
Mostly kidding about that, but I’ve occasionally been surprised there’s enough blood to spare when someone’s particularly gangly and well endowed.
Or, “what are we going to do about this”?
That Grindr news story pisses me off:
OK Asshat. If sexual innuendo prompts people to rape…. why aren’t you raping people? Gosh! It’s almost like the rapist is the one who is responsible for what he did!
And then, if they have a duty to keep protect your health and safety, what about you?!? You don’t have any duty? You aren’t responsible for your inebriation? Other people should be financially liable if they fail to rescue you from the bad situations you find yourself in because it’s not your job to keep yourself safe?!?
Is that what you are arguing, sunshine?
I can’t believe that a sex app company encouraged sexually explicit language! Shocked!
SHUT ‘EM DOWN!
NUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Actually their advertising system has gotten really egregious. Burning it to the ground might be appropriate.
What are the advantages of grindr over tinder? Isn’t it basically the same?
Ummm…yeah.
If you ignore the user base.
Tinder doesn’t have gay people on there?
1000% more dick.
Any of these apps and sites need some kind of critical mass of users to be useful. Grindr is literally the granddaddy of all “location aware social networking” apps and has the most consistently broad user base for gay men.
Tinder was something like seven years late to the game, and is mostly straight people and also designed to obscure how near or far someone is from you compared to the location-aware grids that are common with gay apps.
One of my brother’s roommates scoffed when I told him that he owns his own body.
This is someone that supports abortion as a right, drug use, etc.
Lot ‘sa morons out there man. *kicks pebble*
Can the 50 shades thing die already? There’s a place near my office that just opened up called 50 Shades of Polish. Do they strap you into the chair before doing your nails?
Huh. I woulda thought it was a pierogi joint.
No our Pierogi joints all have pierogi in the name, they have to compete with the Catholic churches. But don’t worry, they deliver.
You know you want to order the Candy Bar Pierogis…
Delivery Pierogi, goddamn.
No GMO, I am disappoint
*throws hat in the air, huzzas*
Kielbasa?
Now I’m hungry.
If they don’t actually have 50 kinds, you should sue.
Seriously, I took my daughter to one of those places and she took half an hour picking a color.
“If you choose quickly, you get 2 scoops” works on 2 of my 3 kids.
When I worked at a cafe I’d just tell indecisive customers they looked like they wanted whatever the easiest sandwich to make that day was. They’d either instantly decide what other item on the menu they wanted or just roll with it because they were incapable of making decisions on their own.
If I can’t decide I flip a coin. If I’m disappointed, I choose the other option
I used to be very indecisive and started getting arbitrary in college. I don’t love being in charge, but was on a trip to Italy where everyone was crippled by indecision so I just started doing coin-tosses with a 50c piece for points where there was either not enough information or two options seemed nearly equally appealing and the trip went really smoothly. One of my companions found out and lost her fucking shit over it. The coin disappeared some time in the next 12 hours (I’m not sure if she thought I considered the coin special other than it having a nice heft when flipped).
At restaurants I’ll just narrow it down to two options, if and pick the cheaper of the two best options. Same thing, if I’m disappointed by the cheaper of the two I get the other option.
I also use the half dollar to decide. Interesting…
They hold me accountable for that by bitching about it in the car. They know that pisses me off.
That’s a 1 scoop penalty.
Sounds like you have it all figured out. Me? I just figure they don’t need ice cream in the fist place.
The worst misbehavior is usually in the mornings, so I’ve been known to take them out for donuts and then not let them have any.
This is the most blatant case of false advertising since “The Neverending Story”.”!
I rest my case. Uhh, I mean case closed.
If I could throw something into the suggestion box?
I really like reading Zardoz doing relationship advice. I can’t help but think STEVE SMITH could also help a lot of people having problems with their relationships.
I’m just sayin’.
For instance, my girlfriend’s sister is a totally hot, pain in the ass, ingrate with a smart mouth. Can’t stand being around her.
I put up with my girlfriend because I get something out of it. What do I get from her stupid sister except for an earache and blue balls?
Nothing. And yet her sister always wants to come over to the house.
What should I do?
Dump the girlfriend. Life is too short to put up with bullshit.
If you don’t put up with any bullshit, you sleep alone. Women come attached with a certain amount of bullshit. If you don’t want to go swimming, you’re gonna have to get wet.
You sleep alone or you end up sharing the bed with the dog, which not only opens you up to ridicule from your poker buddies, it’s also impractical–since that damn little dog will hog the whole bed. I guess I give off a lot of heat. Damn dog starts out snuggling up and then goes orthogonal and pushes me away in my sleep.
Id rather be alone and bullshit free, than have some harpy ruining my life.
It’s her sister!
The sister is always . . .
There’s no society in which your woman’s sister should have any kind of relationship with you.
She’s not my mother.
She’s not my sister.
She’s not my wife.
. . . and yet she’s totally off limits.
Keep you damn sister out of my house.
I have friends. I don’t need your sister as a “friend”.
I’m not going shopping with her.
She’s not going to the hockey game.
We’re not going to be friends.
Oh, and women have a weird way of describing their “friends”.
When a woman says that one of her girlfriends has a great personality, what they really mean is that she complains constantly.
When a woman says that one of her girlfriends has a great sense of humor? What they really mean is that she complains constantly.
When they say that one of her girlfriends is really smart, what they really mean is that she complains constantly.
Oh, and women have a weird way of describing their “friends”.
Observational comedy night at the Glibs Lounge. Tip your veal and try the waitress!
Then set clear boundaries. It’s your house, right?
I’ve done that.
Live long enough with any woman, and eventually you’re either moving closer to her family, or her family is moving close to you.
The one that moves is the one with the least amount of money–if you stay married.
They say that divorces are most often over money and where to live. The where to live part is probably universally about her moving to be closer to her family or her not wanting to leave her family behind when you need to move for a job or something.
Anyway, there are certain aspects of being in a relationship with a woman that just aren’t going away because of . . . whatever.
If you marry a Canadian goose, you’re flying south for the winter.
If you want to mate with a salmon, you’re swimming upstream.
Rationalizing it away isn’t going to change anything, and if you make an agreement and she somehow breaks it when it’s time to fly south, then that’s really your fault.
You’ve heard the story about the scorpion and the frog? That was the frog’s fault.
Obviously there are always compromises to any situation. You just have to decide what is important and what you can let slide. If the sister is a major problem, that’s not going to change, so cut GF loose. If you can set limits and they are respected, rock on.
Huh… my girlfriend prefers my family to hers. Of course, she’s only got a couple of aunts and a grandmother at this point. Some of them come over to my house once a year for Thanksgiving, that’s it. I may see one of the aunts at most 3 other times through the year, and the grandmother maybe twice. Hell, I didn’t even know she had a step-brother until we ran into him at an event one year.
Yeah, eventually, when it becomes too much of a pain in the ass, you split up–but that’s almost always the woman involved’s decision.
That’s not always obvious, but when you start thinking of breaking up, chances are she’s probably beaten you to it by three to six months.
If I were willing to compromise a little more, I’d have been married . . . a number of times already. I regret not marrying one of them, but to compromise for that, I’d have had to convert to Islam.
If I had my life to live over, I’d have made that compromise. I’ll always regret that. If there’s a parallel universe somewhere where we’re married with kids, I’d change places with that Ken in a heartbeat. Maybe he wishes he were me, but I doubt it. I bet he’s in the happiest of all possible worlds–practicing some religion he doesn’t really believe in.
Religion is a pretty big issue and you can’t fake it. I told my wife before we got married that I’m an atheist and won’t convert to Catholicism. If that’s a deal breaker then let’s sort that out now. She was okay with it and I support her by taking her to mass, but she knows I’m just there so she can feel welcome to practice her religion. The only time it’s been an issue is this week her sister wants us to be God parents, but the church probably won’t approve of me. That’s life though, nothing is perfect.
the church probably won’t approve of me.
The Church approved of my gay aunt as a godmother. How? I didn’t tell them and I gave them a “gift.”
^this, this, thisity, this this^
Mass? You need to renegotiate.
I won’t even drive my kids to Hebrew school.
Uh oh.
Yep. Ex’s family were all warm, welcoming people. We got along swimmingly and I miss having them in my life. Five years of relationship building gone in an instant. Her little sister was pretty hot, though.
^^^ TRUTH ^^^
One of my past relationships is proof of this. It was going wonderfully right up to when her sister came into the picture. Her sister was older, objectively less attractive and single, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to conclude how that played out.
So here’s what you’ve got to do, find the most loathsome, controlling asshole you can and pay him to date your girlfriends sister. I’m told this is an ancient technique that has remarkable results.
QFT.
Ask me how after having called out sick but still waking up in order to get our daughter ready for school and making not only her but my wife’s lunch her inability to get ready to leave the house a full hour later than normal is my fault. And we’ve been married for nearly seven years, so it’s not like I’m getting any action out of the deal.
You have a penis right?
That is how it can be your fault and always will be your fault
yeah but the dog loves you just the way you are
And as far as those biological urges go…
http://www.realdoll.com
Has you covered
Oh, that’s right about the dog, and I’ve had conversations about that with other women in the past.
Her: “You care about the dog more than me!”
Me: “For good reason–she doesn’t try to make me get rid of you just to make herself feel important!” If I knew you were that kind of person before we got together, . . . “
Men ask that too.
Him: “You care about the dog more than me!”
Me: “And…”
When did you talk to my wife?!
*rimshot*
Sadly, I think my wife would say the same.
I’m just wise enough not to ask.
Cats in my case.
“What if I asked you to get rid of the cats?”
“I wouldn’t.”
“What if I was allergic?”
“Well, I’ve known the cats longer, so…”
Incorrect, have the “Hey can we have an MFF threeway with your sister?” conversation with the girlfriend and then either have her say yes improving the GF’s sister problem or have her dump you improving the GF situation.
The Costanza solution doesn’t work in that realm.
Even the Old Testament cautions against marrying two sisters. It says it’s cruel–but it’s probably worse for the guy that marries them.
The Costanza solution in that situation may get you put on the sex offender list.
For the rest of your life, that’s gonna be out there. And women tell everyone they meet about everything you do and say. She’s telling everyone you suggested that.
You can’t win in that situation.
The Costanza solution in that situation may get you put on the sex offender list.
Oh, I missed the point where the sister was under-age, or was coerced into sex.
I was speaking figuratively, fer goodness’ sake.
If she tells everyone about the shit you say (and they all do), then you might as well be on the sex offender list if you suggest something like that.
Women don’t breathe underwater and they don’t keep secrets. Everything you tell them becomes public knowledge. It’s one of the things you learn in a coed boarding school.
By the time you get to high school, most guys have taken a trip or two to the vice principle’s office. There was a fight or someone brought fire crackers and set them off on the playground or something. Guys learn not to rat. In the Sixth grade, they busted ten of us standing around watching firecrackers go off. They brought us in one by one and put the (figurative) thumb clamps on us. No one would tell, so they called us all in at the same time and suspended all ten of us.
First time you get in trouble in boarding school and a girl is involved, they bring her in alone, and she starts crying and tells them everything–and not just the stuff they’re asking about either. It’s hopeless. Lower your expectations.
Women don’t keep secrets.
Then the ladies will know you expect threesomes and act appropriately.
Never doubt the Costanza
“Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank god that you know me and have access to my dementia?”
Or bang the sister, and let the girlfriend dump you. Same result, but more fun.
Pics?
RAPE BOTH, GO BACK TO WOODS.
It sounds like you’re asking for permission to use hidden cameras.
The answer is yes, as long as you post the highlights here.
+1
Why do you have to choose between STEVE SMITH and Zardoz? Couldn’t it be both? A much manlier version of Love Line? Maybe call it BRUTAL RAPE LINE?
They just don’t have the same chemistry that Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew had.
I dunno, that might be interesting. Remember, Zardoz stayed with STEVE SMITH when he was drying out.
A ZARDOZ and STEVE SMITH debate about relationships would be interesting… But then STEVE SMITH would just rape the Brutals and then ZARDOZ would cleanse them. Too easy.
Yeah…that does kind of sound like their answer to every relationship.
Buried in the tax reform package is this little tidbit:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/nfl-lines-up-against-stadium-provision-in-tax-plan-1509660444
Rand Paul and his boyfriends here at Glib, presumably, are against cutting income taxes unless they’re cut all the way down to zero–along with all the other taxes, too–but for the rest of us, there’s a lot to like in this tax plan.
Did Rand come out against the tax plan? I bet he votes for it

*halfheartedly reaches for catbutt collection, wanders off instead*
No, that calls for a cattbutt
STEVE SMITH-BUTT
NO ONE SEE THAT AND LIVE!
ALL OF YOU BULLIES
Let’s be real, that’s probably projection about how Ken wants to hatefuck him.
HAWT!
ZOWIE!
What the appropriate model of catbutt for when someone’s bitter or being mockably salty?
I was thinking of going with an old classic:
Impressive…most impressive!
That loses none of its impact no matter how often I see it. It’s like that picture of the VC getting shot in the head: horrifying, but somehow fascinating.
So far, the worst thing I’ve seen about this tax plan is that it has some green energy credits in it. Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised…
The also buried this shit nugget.
The GOP’s hidden 46% tax bracket
Just talked to my aunt who’s planning on retiring in six years and moving to Hawaii with her husband. They’re about to get royally fucked by the elimination of the mortgage interest income deduction for mortgages about $500k. Shit, that’s probably going to kill us on our next house.
I thought the point of retirement was that you moved to someplace with low costs of living so your savings would last as long as you did.
They’re both feds, and Hawaii doesn’t tax federal retirement income.
I just can’t see how capping the mortgage deduction is going to royally fuck them. They have a jumbo loan now and will lose some of their deduction and pay a few grand more in taxes (oh, the irony of feds complaining their taxes are too high)?
They are planning to borrow a ton of money to buy a million dollar house in Hawaii after they retire?
Or are they feds who hate Trump and this is just TDS?
Yeah, that kind of shit really needs to be indexed to local markets
$500,000 in Columbus OH gets you a 3500 sq foot mcmansion
$500,000 in San Fran gets you one bedroom in a 4 bedroom home without kitchen privileges
Why should the Ohio residents subsidize the decision of others to live in San Fran?
If she’s 6 years away from retirement, she should be well over the hump on the mortgage and paying down actual equity at this point.
I’m halfway through a 15-year mortgage at 2.6%. I could care less about that deduction.
Yeah, I have 9ish years left, I am at 2.71%…doesn’t do much for me.
Does the cap on mortgage interest apply to existing mortgages or only new ones?
Plus, I’m pretty sure they aren’t actually eliminating the deduction for mortgages above $500K. They are capping the deduction.
For a $750K loan, the interest above the cap would be around $800/month, and the value of the deduction would be, at the top bracket of 39.6% would be about $320/month, or $1,920/year. IF you can afford a $750K house, a couple grand a year in extra taxes should neither kill your finances nor blow up your retirement. If your aunt is planning on borrowing a million bucks to buy a house in Hawaii when she retires, well, she’s doin’ retirement wrong.
And nothing should be indexed to the local cost of living. You’re living somewhere expensive, why should you get a tax benefit for that?
Existing is grandfathered as I understand it.
Current CAP is 1Mil… so that is lowered for new mortgages to 500K… current mortgages from 500k-1Mil can still deduct (grandfathered) re-fi and take out equity today before the change goes in… (reminds me I have to do that, won’t break the 500K level).
Get ready for a short term explosion in high end home sales.
Why would you base it on the value of the house, though, unless just catering to envy? First of all, it’s just subsidizing people with high interest loans, and punishing people who put more down on the same amount of house.
The AMT is eliminated, so I don’t believe this is an actual increase. However, the lack of tax cuts for high-earners as well as increasing number of “zero” Federal tax-payers is a peeve.
FFS, y’all focused on the Rand Paul bit?
LOL
There’s a point there to be made about making the perfect the enemy of the good, but it wasn’t supposed to be so serious.
P.S. Rand Paul is still wrong on replacement, and we still have ObamaCare largely because of Rand Paul.
If he’d gone along with that bill we’d still have Obamacare anyway, and the R’s would have given the D’s a prime talking point that its constant failure was the result of the new legislation. Paul is one of the few Stupid Party members who doesn’t fit with their designation. They were elected to repeal the fucking pig, not put lipstick on it. It’s just that they are more scared about being called mean names by the media and at cocktail parties than screwing over their constituents.
Focused? That’s all I do is read your first and last sentence.
And there is also a point where a couple nice to haves aren’t enough to be worth sacrificing your beliefs over.
Sure you need to compromise to score wins but you also need to hold your ground on the things that are really important
And getting rid of such a tax break sounds like a really good idea–like getting rid of the state tax deduction.
It creates a moral hazard, and somebody somewhere in the Republican coalition appears to understand that and had taken the initiative to fix it.
Yeah, but don’t you think it’s a little convenient that they way they remove the moral hazard doesn’t result in tax cuts?
I’m one of Rand Paul’s boyfriends? *flutters eyelashes*
I don’t even mind sharing.
I have to travel to India for work in exactly one week and I CAN’T FIND MY FUCKING PASSPORT.
Pffft. Just download the app.
Whaddya mean, there isn’t one? I blame TRUMP.

*outside smoking*
Guy: I just got back to India
Me: That sounds neat. Where did you go?
Guy: Mentions some place that I never heard of
Me: Is that by New Delhi
Guy: Yeah. Have you been to India?
Me: No, but I saw Slum Dog Millionaire so I get the drift
*throws curry*
Uffda. I was going to make a joke about Q needing to curry up and find his passport for his trip to India, but now it seems derivative of your comment.
Behold the brilliant, unbiased reporting of the BBC. In a blurb for their “Newshour Extra” podcast titled “Do We Need Economic Growth?”
“Donald Trump has said his proposed tax cuts will be ‘rocket fuel’ for the US economy. He is the latest in a long line of political leaders chasing economic growth as a key policy objective. We are told again and again that GDP – Gross Domestic Product – growth is good for the economy; it lifts people out of poverty, provides jobs and investment, and improves lives. While there is general agreement about the need for growth in the developing world, what about the costs of growth in the rich world? Is growth accelerating environmental damage? Is it causing greater inequality?”
“The BBC would rather the poor be poorer so long as the rich were less rich”
-Paraphrasing Maggie
She even used her hands to show the difference to the three year olds in parliament at the time.
Is it causing greater inequality?
Yeah, fuckheads, it might… we can go from a gap between the middlin’ and the rich to a gap between everyone being fucking well off and some terrifically so. WOULDN’T THAT BE HORRID?!?!?!
what about the costs of growth in the rich world?
Doesn’t growth mean that the benefits exceed the costs? By definition?
other people pursuing their lives endowed with the resources to do so is not a ‘benefit’ to such an asshole.
Well… I suppose if we were to liquidate the left and divy up whatever resources they would have otherwise consumed, we could make ourselves better off without growth for a few years.
Is it causing greater inequality?
Ah, of course. Because it doesn’t matter if poor people make more money or see quality of life improvements, if it means the rich get even richer.
Whoops, accidental Brooksing.
While there is general agreement about the need for growth in the developing world, what about the costs of growth in the rich world? Is growth accelerating environmental damage? Is it causing greater inequality?”
Yeah, growth sucks. I hear that all the time. Boo hoo, quaint little Bozeman is being destroyed by carpetbagging gentrifiers and profiteering real estate developers and the rest of the blood sucking capitalist ghoul rogues’ gallery. I suggest they go have a look at some of the towns in Montana in the process of drying up and blowing away and ask the people there if they’d rather have growth or stagnation.
Seriously. Ask some people who live in Appalachian, Rust Belt, or Northern New England depression towns that have degenerated into meth or opioid havens if growth would be good for them.
If there’d been more private sector work, I’d never have been stuck in government. I applied and took the job because I had none, and no capital to finance a relocation.
People who can afford to flee, are.
Damn near everyone’s parents where I grew up worked for a mill. Damn near everyone of the children that we spawned work for the government. The median age of my city is 55 years old. It’s got so bad that when you see a kid riding a skateboard you think to yourself, “Wow, A Kid!”.
And the same people who bemoan the loss of big ranches all over southwest Montana will look at you like you just tossed their favorite pet bunny into a pot of boiling water if you say anything bad about the inheritance tax.
Regarding the college girl who dressed up like Pocahontas:
Never, never, never apologize., ever..I’m sorry but that’s just how it is now and it didn’t buy her one bit of sympathy or forgiveness from the thin-skinned lunatics who bullied her into it in the first place. It emboldens them actually because you’ve admitted to wrongdoing.
Also, was there a link to this horrible picture in its I undeleted state? I want to judge for myself.
Wait, found it. I’ll be smoking my peace pipe in my bunk.
Care to share?
Enjoy
Thanks:)
The proper response would have been to ask the twits if they were Irish, Scottish, or even English (a stretch). If not, they have no business commenting on anyone’s choices of costume since it’s not their holiday! They’re appropriating Celtic culture so that they can walk around dressed like a slut (NTTAWWT, but no one has to tell them). If they treat 10/31 as anything other than just another month-end, they’re “totally not okay”.
The Welsh, Manx, Cornish, and Bretons would like a word.
Point taken. Somehow, though, I don’t think they’re the ones throwing tantrums about Halloween costume appropriation.
I think I found a lottery that we would all want to enter. Of course, they could also just price the bourbon at the right price, and no lottery would be needed.
Id rather be alone and bullshit free, than have some harpy ruining my life.
AMEN, BRUTHAH!
Welp, still can’t find my passport and if I dilly dally any longer I’ll miss the Straight Women Who Love Anal Support Group letting out down at the Y. Fear not, I’ll be back for afternoon lynx! Probably sans passport.
“letting out down at the Y”. Now I understand why that group needs Anal Support. Not sure how they got that way to begin with, but it sound’s like you are doing the Lord’s work Q.
It’s a battered women’s shelter. Q is sick and opportunistic.
That just makes it more hot.

It’s always been that way.
No jail time for Bergdhal. Wow! So I take it now that in the Army your first general order is now just you first general suggestion.
Did anyone listen to the NPR podcast Serial (season 2)?
It was all about Bergdahl and his antics. I think it was too sympathetic towards him, but I also think that it does do a good job of showing that he wasn’t some Taliban dupe. He was just a huge douche retard.
I think he should have ended up with some jail time (I’ve seen guys get time in the brig for a lot less), but I also don’t think he deserves a firing squad.
Didn’t 6 soldiers get killed trying to find the guy? I think the military would be fully justified going the firing-squad route.
I can’t remember exactly, but I think the answer was sort of a qualified no. I say qualified because there seems to be some leeway in how you read the reports.
Here is a page on that question from NPR’s Serial Podcast.
He walked away from his fucking post. That’s desertion.
The post was in an area infested with enemies. That’s desertion in the face of the enemy.
Getting captured by the enemy doesn’t change the fact that he deserted in the face of the enemy.
He should be shot.
^^^
He should have been shot. I would have accepted life in in prison.
Something that was suggested in passing around the donuts I donated to the office this morning: maybe the Taliban turned Bergdahl into a sex slave so the courts let him off easy.
He should still see some time in Leavenworth, even if that’s remotely true.
Is it really sex slavery if he likes it?
You can’t rape the willing.

The photo of Laika in the capsule gets to me…
It was standard Soviet policy to only report a launch after the module successfully landed. Any failures never happened.
FUCK YOU, Col. Jeffery Nance.
+ infinity. Motherfucker is going to use Trump’s dumb ass as a fig leaf for a decision he was going to make anyway. “Oh, I was totally going to throw the book at Bergdahl but then Trump said something stupid, so no prison time” Coward.
The punch line is that Bergdahl is going to appeal even this absurdly light punishment because he doesn’t want a dishonorable. Unfuckingbelievable. God, I wish that whoever hears that appeal had the option to say “You know what? Col. Nance is a jackass, and since you’re appealing, I’m changing your sentence: you belong in Leavenworth for 14 years. “
THIS was all Bergdahl’s fault.

Amazing or slackers at work – who can say?
It’s been one distraction after another today, and I haven’t even addressed the celebration of the sandwich yet.
Looking forward to hearing about your creation. I had a disgusting sandwich from a “chain” for lunch – disclaimer: in the line of duty.
I’m running on about 3 hours of sleep, so I might opt for a nap instead. I feel so unpatriotic.
call it Mexican Patriotic, then duck.
I can. Slackers at work.
So I was still a little pissed about this and decided to call the ACLU to ask why they were talking about it in general seeing as income is not a civil right, and that it’s propaganda not fact.
got passed around a few times. finally pretended to be media (published works here count, right?), called the media office. Their web page has a picture trump with “GET READY TO FIGHT” -fight him on what? there are plenty of things the gov does that is in the ACLU’s wheelhouse, but somehow I doubt they had the image of Obama last year.
The man on the line that finally did talk to me told me that it was an accurate statement, and that they were fighting for legislation to something soemthing.
I think I’ll call back and try to get names and write something up. fuck off aclu.
This isn’t the 90’s. The ACLU hasn’t been a reputable civil rights organization in quite some time. Most of their money is spent suing Catholic hospitals to force them to perform abortions and transgender surgery. It’s just a left-wing outlet now
There’s a reason the Institute for Justice gets my Amazon Smile donations.
Them and FIRE will get money from me when I have some money to give.
Thanks for letting me know that’s an option. I manage to derive value from this site every day.
If you want to be more productive, go outside and yell at some clouds.
I took an anger-break from packing power tools.
That’s good. Don’t work with power tools while angry.
Of course, now the ACLU has my phone number.
That’s what Google Voice is for. If you want, you can block a number as spam, and the caller get’s a not in service message. I use it all the time.
There’s a good idea.
Thanks!
If you have the right hardware, you can also use google voice to replace your land line for free.
My ISP wants 30 bucks a month for the same service. Nope.
That’s exactly what I do. One time purchase of $40. Zero monthly free for a voip landline.
*zero monthly fee, though that is free.
Plus the blocking feature of google voice. 80% of my home phone calls are bullshit. It does a great job of filtering them.
More on the ACLU…
It doesn’t look here like they’re actually denying that they lied to the court and the DOJ. In fact, looks like they’re admitting it.
https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/926461766791581697
“The courts found that Jane had a constitutional right to abortion”
The courts were wrong. Sorry.
What’s the lie? This?
Our lawyers informed the government that Doe had an appointment at the clinic.
Basically.
http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/nov/3/doj-petitions-supreme-court-illegal-minor-abortion/
Questions. I got ’em.
(1) Was she locked up? If so, how did the ACLU get her to the clinic? If not, why not?
(2) Was this case really about forcing the government to pay for the abortion? Forcing the government to release her for the abortion? Both?
Hmm… I see that the ACLU wished Colin Kaepernick a happy birthday today.
Glad to see that they’re sticking to their core mission.
Promoting retards?
Some things don’t need promotion. Some things, do.
