Man, I am busier than a meth-head in scab-picking contest. Big thanks to Swiss for picking up the ball and running with it the last few days. Hope to return to regular fun tomorrow.

If the whole #metoo thing is Heathers as sexual assault, is this the Martha Dumptruck scene? Also, this information would have been great like, six weeks ago.
Some idiot on FB posted that women get mental illness, too but only men mass murder. Uh, sure.

Helloo, eh?
Tell him to get to work.
Are women’s victims only worth 77% of men’s victims?
*#1 by disqualification of Just Say’n*
Congrats on 1st.
*shrugs at just say’n*
This is some bullshit
Thems the rules.
Making arbitrary rules without informing everyone doesn’t sound ‘libertarian’. It sounds more like something Nick Gillespie would do. I’m just calling it like I see it
So, I guess Swiss and Nick Gillespie have a lot in common
Mooo!
How dare you. I met Swiss personally at OMWC’s door as he took off his Jacket™. Hey wait a minute…
*narrows gaze*
Lol, it was a good time. You guys need to make it to St. Louis.
I’ll be in Bloomington on Friday. That is as far south as I’ve been in Illinois in a while. Any further south and weird things happen, like people calling ‘pop’ ‘soda’ and ‘gym shoes’ ‘sneakers’. Makes me shudder
Are you TRYING to get cat butted?
Swiss Brown Cow butted
Maybe Gillespie was a low blow.
So, I guess Swiss and Nick Gillespie have a lot in common
So you didn’t get a dancing “1”, now you’re aiming for a cat butt? Some people will do anything to get an image in their post…
Does no one else find it funny that calling someone comparable to Nick Gillespie is a grave insult here?
Not funny one bit. I for one wouldn’t steep so low just too get a picture on my post.
*EDIT FAIRY…SPECIAL EDITION*
Woooooo Hoooooooo!
Lol. Edit fairy made this entire thread awesome with all these pics.
Nice Swissy. lol
Damn, they skipped right past cat butt.

Sure.
They’re improving. A couple of years ago it was 95%.
Needs moar security theatre!
Well, they identify as competent.
“Identify.” Nice. We should hammer that identify thing as a meme.
^this, I’m honestly shocked they caught 20%!
I can see 50% on the horizon, just a few trillion more dollars will get us there guys!
I feel like I should have included this
Don’t forget pension benefits, they’ll need those to get to 50%
They want to be treated like actual “officers” (they’re called Transportation Security Officers because the union demanded it, but they don’t have arrest powers) and they want to have arrest powers and they want to be able to carry guns, which will surely work out well for everyone.
Hey, give ’em a break. It was their first job, and their only qualification was a burning desire to boss people around.
You stole my comment!
If that means they only find criminals one out of five times, then they could be replaced with a sorority.
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rand-pauls-neighbors-rip-media-landscaping-dispute-reports/article/2640090
Article from the Washington Examiner quotes Paul’s neighbors who dispute the whole “Rand was beat-up over lawn clippings” narrative. The neighbors say that the attack was most assuredly instigated over politics. So, how did the lawn clippings narrative begin? The attacker’s lawyer first said the assault was over a dispute about lawn clippings and other issues of that nature and the media took him at his word, because they don’t want to discuss another left-wing fanatic using violence to further his political objectives.
Pope Hat explained why the defendant’s argument should be taken with a grain of salt. If the attack was over Rand’s politics than it would be a federal crime, but if it were over some personal dispute than it would not be a federal crime. The question is why the media accepted the attacker’s argument for the assault without ever asking or reporting about the neighbors that dispute this narrative? Just joking- we all know why.
Ken and Hihn hardest hit.
BULLY!
Dilly Dilly!

*pan sizzles*
The stock market went down today on fears that the Republicans are going to be too chickenshit to pass tax reform and that the Democrats will take the House next year.
And that the Senate tax bill does not cut corporate taxes for a year, which means there would be no corporate tax cuts under the Senate bill. If you delay a tax cut- it will never happen
The former will guarantee the latter.
The entire first year of the Trump administration has basically been proof positive that all of the left’s arguments about tax cuts and regulations are bullshit. Things have been booming in anticipation of them. And the fucking cunts in the GOP can’t even deliver the one thing they’ve usually been relatively good about.
“Democrats will take the House”
say what now? is that really a possibility?
It’s no more likely today than it was a week ago or even months ago, but the Democrats finally won some elections and they’re strutting around like a retard who just got its first erection.
It’s likely they’ll take seats, but winning it will take a hard fight. They’re strutting now for winning in some blue states, and while their advancement in the VA legislature could be telling they are celebrating way too soon (hey, that sounds familiar). I’d put odds of Dems taking the House at ~35% and odds of them taking the Senate at ~5%.
Crypto markets are up though, thanks Russia!
Is it wrong if I’m actively hoping that Roy Moore is actually guilty so that SoCon piece of shit can be out of politics forever? I’m not sure if he’s good on economic issues, but he’d be one of the worst in the Senate on personal freedom issues.
I won’t miss him.
Neither would I, but I certainly wish this had come out months ago.
He is a total POS, but I also fear that #metoo is going to become an easy way for the progs to discredit anyone they don’t like. I haven’t read the article so don’t know how credible her claim is.
But if it is true, that would make him a hypocrite of the first water.
^^^
I believe that the allegations are credible and he needs to back out of the race PDQ. You can usually count on the most Puritanical ones being the most creepy in their private lives. Fuck that guy.
I’m kind of hoping it’s exposed as a ridiculous fraud and the false accuser is raked over the coals.
Can he be shamed out of the election and THEN it’s exposed as a ridiculous fraud and the false accuser is raked over the coals? Because that’d be a win-win for everyone.
Roy Moore feel shame? /Nelson laugh.
Know what I want?
R E S P E C T?
Respect?
CODE RED
The article states that other accusers have come forward with similar accusations from the same period and there are witnesses to the contact.
The other accusers had more toned down stories of being hit on, a couple of dates and some kissing. Only corroboration is typically from the Mom or a friend who vaguely remembers them dating an older man. This despite the fact that the Washington Post claims it interviewed 30 people for the story. There’s a reason they focused on the 14 year olds claims, as well.
It’s not out of the realm of possibility. He did end up marrying a 24 year old – 14 years his junior at the time. But we’re talking about 40 year old accusations here. How hard is it to find a few women to lie about a detestable and notorious Socon? It’s impossible to prove their lying at this point.
Look, I married an 8 year old. i won’t judge.
Affidavit: “Um, Roy Moore’s sick. My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Moore make a pass at a teenager at 31 Flavors about 40 years ago. I guess it’s pretty serious.”
What if its a total and complete fabrication?
What if this is just part of the broader pattern of anyone who threatens the establishment in any way being tarred with claims of sexual assault/violence/deviance/etc. after that threat is revealed, publicized shortly before a critical juncture to try and push people away from that “deplorable” person?
I’m to the point where I automatically disbelieve any claims against someone of a sexual nature. I know they do actually happen, both my wife and I were victims of crimes of a sexual nature, but as someone who was also falsely accused of sexual harassment and found guilty by the Title IX Inquisition even after they admitted they had no evidence to support the claims and in fact there was plenty of evidence to the contrary (she openly taunted me about it after filing the claim, which I had documented), I automatically assume all such claims are false until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
I can’t believe ANYONE takes this shit at face value.
Sorry to hear that you got fucked by the Title IX kangaroo courts.
I agree. Some woman emerges from the woodwork a couple weeks before an election with a story about something that happened in 1979 with the Republican candidate?
Bullshit.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-11-08/the-aclu-wants-to-be-the-nra-without-all-the-guns
i’ve never seen it written quite this explicitly before:
The biggest conflict so far hasn’t been over how to handle elections but how to handle right-wing protests. In early August, the ACLU sued the Washington, D.C., transit agency, which had refused to let Milo Yiannopoulos, the alt-right author and activist, run ads for his book on its trains and buses. Chase Strangio, a staff attorney for the ACLU, posted a public statement personally objecting to the group’s association with Yiannopoulos. “Though his ability to speak is protected by the First Amendment, I don’t believe in protecting principle for the sake of principle in all cases,” wrote Strangio.
Strangio’s letter continues…
“And yes, the First Amendment is critical in protecting the ability of marginalized communities to protest, mobilize and build power. But it has already been eroded for those communities.”
everything someone says before the word “but” is horseshit.
In a broader sense, Shakir dismisses the idea that the ACLU should be held to a test of ideological purity. It’s a political-advocacy organization, not a legal defense fund. “When we’re choosing clients in any regard, it’s always a political determination,” said Shakir. “We shouldn’t delude ourselves that it isn’t.”
how does the ACLU count to ten? 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
They might have dementia; first they forgot 2, now they forget 1!
Clinton-McCain 2020?
There’s a Sugarfree story in there.
Zombie ticket?
That’s a pretty long-winded way of saying “Principals, not principles.”
Then why the fuck associate with the ACLU knowing that they’ve historically defended the rights of people you find icky in a critical capacity?
there’s some sort of law discussed this morning about leftists taking over an organization and gutting it from the inside out.
I think they were always leftist.
Conquests second law – every organization that isn’t explicitly right-wing eventually becomes left-wing.
They’ve never litigated a 3A case, AFAIK, but in all fairness there haven’t been any 3A issues since Independence.
There has been one recent attempt to tie the 3A into a police “we are taking your house over to stakeout next door, so scoot” case. Lemme go find it.

Biden Didn’t Run in 2016 for Fear of Clinton’s ‘Stop at Nothing’ Opposition Research
http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/11/09/joe-biden-didnt-run-2016-fear-hillary-clintons-stop-nothing-campaign
I’ve been wondering why Hillary keeps interjecting herself in every thing instead of quietly disappearing after the election. I’m convinced now that she can’t let go and is 100% planning to run again in 2020. I think we’re now seeing the Democrat party leaders realizing Hillary is delusional and are trying to cleanse their house of her to prevent any chance of that happening.
Also, because he probably has so many well-known skeletons in his closet that they wouldn’t even need to dig.
*this is also why Warren didn’t run, fwiw. the rumor i heard was that she was told that her career would be destroyed if she tried running against hill.
Where are all the #metoo’ers coming out about grabby Uncle Joe? You know they are out there…
They’ve been warned that speaking out will result in suspicious suicide.
I would love to hear about Warren’s skeletons.
Just watch Poltergeist.
This house is clean.
That’s part of her religion, you have no right to that information.
Foreclosing on people and flipping the houses is probably the biggie. The I r a native ‘murican lie. Also did a lot of asbestos defense work (that is a skeleton to a leftie) on behalf of KKKorporashunz!
Of course Hillary is going to run in 2020. She orchestrated her entire life so she could become president. We owe it to her, and she didn’t get it. Maybe all the deplorables will finally get in line next time.
Dear Lord please let her get the nomination again. She’s the worst candidate ever and by then her health will be severely failing, whatever the hell is wrong with her.
I’d be fine with that, considering that the media would lose even more credibility.
THAT’S what makes it so gratifying. Could you imagine how many people she ruined, upset and perhaps worse (drink!)?
Fuck her. I hope her ambition eats her alive.
She will have to go back to all of those people she blamed and put on her enemies list to suck up for support. My God that would be satisfying to watch.
If she runs again and has primary opponents who actually are trying to destroy her, while she’s trying to destroy them…with Trump taunting them all over twitter throughout the entire campaign…I’m going to have to stock up on a lot of popcorn.
Oh please let her run. That would be sooooo entertaining. Again.
If Biden’s planning on running, why would he reveal that he has skeletons in his closet? If Trump wants a second term (and I believe he does, as it would be a massive ego boost to win election again against all the forces opposing him), then those who wish to unseat him should not give him hints as to oppo research. Trump is the guy with the boldness to accuse Hillary Clinton of covering for her philandering husband, to her face, on national TV during a widely watched debate, with Bill sitting just a few yards away. He’s not going to leave skeletons untouched. He lacks both the tact and timidity of prior Republicans. He’s a bull in the political establishment china shop.
not sure i want to even know, but why exactly DO meth heads get face full o’ scabs?
Google tells me the meth causes them to pick at their skin due to the sensation of something crawling under it. Sounds pleasant.
yeah, i don’t get it. Redneck crack. why not just actually SMOKE CRACK? its in the same price category, and is (afaik) simpler to make., and probably involves 30% less “trailer explosions”
Simpler to make, but not simpler to get the ingredients. You need cocaine to make crack. You can get the ingredients for meth from your local Wal Mart.
Which is another way of saying that the colored-folk control the supply chain.
Walmarts used to set up meth features that had all of ingredients for meth all together and turn over footage of anyone who bought all of them to the local PD.
Now they won’t even sell you Sudafed without a prescription.
And of course this hasn’t stopped meth making and use.
duh.
its just that from my impression of seasons 1-3 of Breaking Bad, it seemed to me that when it came down to basic supply-chain issues, both meth and crack eventually run into hard-to-get chemicals when you start talking about production in bulk.
at least w/ coke, you don’t need a chemistry set. you just need somebody who knows somebody who knows some sketchy colombians.
Sketchy Colombians

You think this is a negative? *Shakes head* Yankees will never understand yokel culture.
Now wait a minute. In her first account she said Moore came on to her but there was no sexual activity. Now there is naked touchy feely stuff? In a week it will be a full blown forceable rape.
What are the odds that sometime in the next few weeks it will com rout that Corfman has some connection to the democrats or never trumpers? Volunteer campaign worker? Never Trumper? She didn’t show up during the campaign because the demops hadn’t dug her up and recruited her yet.
I smell a rat.
My position is that it’s always a rat unless the victim went immediately to the police afterwards*.
Maybe some of these women truly were raped, but there’s too many that have kept quiet for years or decades until it’s coincidentally the perfect time to cause maximum damage to the accused.
*The exception would be if the police aren’t told because Daddy took justice for his little girl using a blowtorch, pliers, and a back 40 field.
+ 6 hogs
There’s no accusation of rape here, though. She claims she willing went on dates with him. He drove her to his house multiple times. She became uncomfortable once and asked to leave. He drove her home without incident. She went back again, though. One night he came out in his underwear with an erection. She asked to leave again. He drove her home without incident.
This is a 14 year old. She claims she made her age clear. It’s obviously not appropriate, but this isn’t a rape accusation. The story hasn’t changed. The Post claims she remained consistent through 6 interviews, not that it really means that much.
It looks like it has changed to me.
1) He came on to me but nothing sexual happened
2) …kissed her. On a second visit, she says, he took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.”
This is the Washington Post we are talking about here. Serial liars, and as Q points out it is right out of the dems playbook. He flirted around with young girls in his thirties but lost interest as a dirty old man?
I am not buying it. That’s what happens when you get caught lying over and over again. You have no credibility and crying wolf until you pass out gets you nowhere, wolf or not.
So this deal with Judge Moore… I don’t excuse any of it, but it definitely seems taken right out of the Dems’ dirty playbook. *Sigh* We get the leaders we deserve I suppose.
Zeke Elliott’s suspension, which was on and then off and then on and then off and then on and then off… looks to be back on, for good this time.
Fuck the Cowboys. And not in a Brokeback Mountain way.
Did Goodell agree to arbitration and name himself the arbitrator again?
Yep. But that’s what the players signed up for in the CBA. All the courts are saying is “We don’t really care if you’re guilty or not of what he says you are, you agreed to this process, you deal with it”
TW: Reddit
It sounds like the judges all agree he was railroaded, but sided with the league because the of stupid CBA the players agreed to.
Same thing happened in the Brady and Peterson cases.
The players agreed to this in the CBA. It’s their own damn fault.
Goodell is actually playing this well for the next CBA negotiation. He’s made this subject so important to the NFLPA that they are going to have to give in on other things in order to get this changed. Brilliant, though scummy negotiating tactic. He’s an excellent politician, Goodell.
It is the Union’s fault – for wrongly assuming they were talking to a Commissioner with a shred of honesty, honor, fairness, common decency, conscience, respect for the players, good faith, morals….
My FF team hardest hit.

In time for the Eagles game I hope.

Who cares? It’s Philly. They aren’t winning the game that matters.

So no link on the Louis C.K. story?
At this point, who in Hollywood *isn’t* doing this? Anyone?
I’d imagine plenty of guys in Hollywood don’t corner women and make them watch as they masturbate. This story is one that, as I said earlier, was already known before and people in Hollywood continued to associate with him.
What is the story? I read that link earlier, but all it talked about was a movie he made. I must have not read far enough.
He hits on a lot of female comedians. Likes to invite them to places and have them watch as he masturbates. Sometimes he asks first, sometimes he seemed to just start doing it. Would make the women feel that they couldn’t leave/block their paths. That was at least the old Deadspin story on Louie.
What the hell is wrong with these dudes? I at least understand Spacey, he’s a horny megalomaniac. But the jacking off in hallways? That’s just weird.
This shit isn’t sexual abuse at all. How is he “trapping” you in his apartment when his pants are stifling his legs and his hand is occupied? Just fucking walk out.
I have older men say and try sexual things to me all the time. It’s uncomfortable but it’s not assault or abuse. You just decline and leave. Which seems to be what happened. How traumatic!
“Rape culture” is a lie. It’s just synonymous with “sexual revolution.” Choose both or neither.
Suddenly I’m a rabid traditionalist.
I saw a quote from Tig Notaro. I guess he jacked-it in front of her. She said, “He put out my comedy CD because he felt bad about it.” What the fuck? You mean you LET HIM produce and release YOUR album with HIS money because YOU knew that with HIS name on it it would sell. And now you don’t want to be associated with him. Got it.
I really liked Tig. How quickly she turned on him is so disappointing.
I wonder what Marc Maron will say about it. I’m sure he’ll throw him under the bus as well.
In the entertainment world, like the political world, no one is really ever your friend. Sociopaths using sociopaths.
Maron strikes me as a stone shit-heel/pervert. My guess is he’ll keep his mouth shut.
Gelatinous curry beef tendon is so delicious. God damn!
This has crossed over into serious pathological behavior. I actually really mean that. The inability to come to grips with reality. It’s been a YEAR.
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/scott-whitlock/2017/11/09/washpost-imagines-what-if-hillary-had-won-two-alternate-timelines
I’d like to see anyone at the Post explain how the fuck something like that is news or worthy of printing. It’s bad fan-fiction. The stuff of their fevered wet dreams.
There is no explanation. They are not a news organization any longer. Just like CNN and the NYT are not news organizations.
Well…fake news.
I have a nagging fear that TDS is getting worse and will get to the point where attacks like the one on Rand Paul are more common and not just against public figures but against anyone deemed a deplorable. If they keep on this path it will come to violence. Yes, it is pathological inability to face reality. They were so sure that the Chocolate Jesus had brought them to the brink of the glorious revolution only to have the deplorables yank the rug out from under them.
It’s a contributing factor to my decision to get a permit to carry and to buy firearms, because I am clearly a deplorable.
If I could afford it, I’d be getting one myself.
Where do you live? It might be cheaper than you think.
Texas.
It’s not the license itself (from what I understand that’s fairly reasonable). I was under the impression that a decent handgun will run me 200-300.
Louis C.K.is now in big trouble.
It sounds to me like a few instances where he asked asked was either given permission or not and didn’t. He may be a pervert, but I don’t think that’s enough to be cast out of society.
But what do I know. I’m definitely not woke enough.
Now it shows up.
Welcome to the woketopia.
This kind of thing is not helping your defense of Roy Moore, Alabama Republicans
Only, as the Post covers, the behavior was illegal under Alabama law even at the time. But it’s going to be way too easy to find nutty religious types willing to defend going for little girls.
On that note, I didn’t even much like spending time with teenage girls when I was a teenager. Fun to look at? Want to stick it in them? Sure. But actually enjoying their company?
…
*holds tongue ‘cuz not sure if Brochettaward is a serial killer or not*
Yeah it doesn’t help against the accusations that they want to return to a time when women were chattel.
I’m curious what Alabama’s age of consent in was at that time.
16.
Was it 16 at the time the alleged events took place?
According to the Post, yes?
I am seeing 14, but I don’t have the Post’s investigative skills…
http://onlineathens.com/stories/052001/new_0520010074.shtml#.WgTUB4ZJmCS
The Post could be wrong. I don’t care enough to look. But that is discussing marrying age. That’s not the same as sexual consent.
I hate that this will validate the fever dreams of the Margaret Atwood crowd.
At this point they are nothing but unsubstantiated allegations about something that happened 40 years ago. If those idiots will shut their goddamned mouths it will be perceived that way.
It’s hilarious to me how everyone made/makes fun of Pence’s whole “I’m only ever alone with my wife” thing. In every one of these stories, it turns out the guy was alone with the girl, allowing for either actual things to happen or opening themselves up to the possibility of future accusations.
Maybe Pence doesn’t look so stupid now.
I was thinking the same thing a couple days ago when this #metoo crap starting blowing up. Nah, still proves he’s a misogynist according to the right thinking people.
Hell, my grandfather gave me that advice when I was just starting in the business world. I didn’t really listen until I realized how much I had to lose.
And back then, weaponized accusations weren’t nearly what they are today.
Weaponized Accusations would be a decent band name.
I posted something like that when the story first came out. In a world where the entire elite establishment would like nothing better than to ensnare a SoCon in a sex scandal, it’s smart to do nothing to give them the opportunity to make one up.
So, just finished listening to the doc on David Parker Ray in the background and now I feel slightly sick to my stomach. That all went down when I still lived in NM, but the reporting at the time was pretty sparse on the details. For those with the same morbid curiosity as me, go to youtube and search for his “initiation tape” he played for all his victims. I won’t link it here cause it’s broken into multiple parts. Supposedly, SAW was partially inspired by this guy. May have to knock off early to start drinking.
Never heard of this nutbag. Speaking of creepy and lesser known serial killers, people should look up the Original Night Stalker/East Area Rapist. 12+ murder victims, probably a good 50 rapes, hundreds of break-ins to homes. And hardly anyone even knows who he was. Rapes weren’t even linked to the murders (which themselves weren’t linked) until 2001. After his first few attacks, he targeted couples in their homes. Sometimes with entire kids and relatives present. Woke them up in the middle of the night, spent hours terrorizing and intermittently raping. There’s actual phone calls on the internet to his victims because he liked to do that, too.
Never caught. No one has any fucking clue who he was.
Serial killers usually like to brag. Most times they are in plain site.
*scribbles on notepad furiously*
I’m far too lazy to be a serial killer. Those guys have to put a lot of man hours into that shit. It’s just daunting to me. You have to have a real passion for it.
I’m getting sceered now.
*checks 6*
You can tell us. You’re among friends. How many bodies are buried in your backyard?
I’m in Florida. Only fucking amateurs try to bury bodies down here.
“Alright boys, check the swamp!” / deputy fife
*eyes light up as they prep the swamp buggies and air boats*
Irrespective of the swamps, it’s just a real pain in the ass to dig a body sized hole in Florida. People don’t realize it.
So you’re saying your victims were hacked to pieces and left in various spots in the Everglades?
Let the gators do the work for you.
Yeah can’t believe their ignorance.
*checks out old serial killer movies*
I’m not going to dignify that with a response, but if I did kill her, that is a more plausible explanation for what I did with the body than trying to dig a hole in SWFL.
It is Florida…just wait for a giant sinkhole to open up!
Lookup Peewee Gaskins. Chilling.
Dean Corll.
This guy was highly organized. Claims he started raping at age 15, was apprehended at 62. Hundreds of rapes and as many as 60 murders. Go look at pics of “The Toy Box”, it’s absolutely the stuff of nightmares.
On his Wikipedia page now. Strangest thing is the places he operated in. Elephant Butte and True or Consequences, New Mexico? Who named this shit?
One of my friends in middle school had gone to elementary school in T or C.
Reading more about this guy, the serial killers with accomplices are always the freakiest. A lone whack job doing something like that doesn’t shock me. Finding other people who are willing to participate and go along with it? That’s the one that actually manages to actually take my opinion of humanity down a few notches.
This one’s new to me:
“In 1999, [FBI Agent Patty] Rust was tasked with preparing detailed drawings and diagrams of every item inside the torture collection of David Ray […] after spending five days in a trailer viewing the sado-sexual evidence, Agent Rust walked out of the TOY BOX and shot herself in the head with her service revolver, dying instantly.”
Uh, just look to the Third Reich or the USSR to find out how many willing accomplices there are out there.
Well, Truth or Consequences was renamed that in order to get a game show to broadcast from there, so at least they have a (weird) reason.
Truth or Consequences was a 60’s game show that told cities that they would relocate to anywhere in the US if the city renamed themself in honor of the game show. ToC, NM did, and they had a few years of notoriety hosting a game show. Now, it’s just a WTF moment, like seeing a road sign for Hell, Michigan.
I remember an FBI agent admitting that they figure there are at least 50 of those guys operating at any given time, the vast majority of which go un-caught.
Sleep tight!
I will… with a pistol by my bedside.
The guy I mentioned above would break into homes with armed residents (this was late 70’s California, that was still allowed). He would usually spend weeks ahead of time stalking victims and breaking into their homes to prepare for his attacks. In one case it’s believed he unloaded one guys weapon (rumored to have links to the actual mob/gang member) well before hand.
I have dogs. Two of which can be quite intimidating. They go apeshit every time they hear a strange noise.
Suthenboy, I can keep at this all day. He attacked homes with dogs and kids. It’s been speculated he would get to know the pets before hand. You can look the shit up.
I bet you can.
*calls CSI*
Did I tell you guys about the time the East Area Rapist struck next door to an FBI agent, and managed to escape via bike?
I hear you. I understand that some people prefer cats or lap dogs, but I couldn’t imagine not having big dogs in my life. Mine act as a pack and would tear into someone breaking in like wolves on a wounded elk. Only thing I fear for them is being poisoned, but that would act as it’s own alarm for me.
I tried posting this earlier but it didn’t seem to take.
Louis C.K.
It reads like he asked some women if he could masturbate in front of them and then did or didn’t depending on their answer. He may be a pervert but it’s not harassment just because some women regretted it.
The NYT’s is basically repacking shit that, what, Deadspin reported on years ago and calling it news? I’m not even going to bother reading it, but there were definite ways he crossed boundaries and some of it wasn’t so consensual. But the Deadspin quality of reporting was friend of friend type shit anonymously.
Well, the NYT does have names and interviews with the victims. But it’s two women who said they were joking when they said yes, one woman who said no, onw who said she could hear him when she was on the phone with him and one who said yes but later regretted it. I’m not saying he hasn’t done something worse, but these aren’t especially damning accusations.
Side note: My phone autocorrected damning to smiling.

The only thing that bugs me about this is how assaulting a senator is somehow worse than assaulting any random drunken asshole. Too ‘more equal’ for my liking.
Agreed. We actually discussed this late on the lynx last night. Six broken ribs and a pleural effusion is enough to get anyone charged with felony assault IMO though.
^^^
How dare you. Random Drunken Asshole is an international treasure.
Read it again. In my world RDA is on par with Rand.
Tbh I’m kinda wondering whether his assailant was not, at the time, a specific drunken asshole.
It may have something to do with Paul not being able to go to Washington to vote until he is well enough to travel. Interfering with government functions or the like.
Sucks, but assaulting a Senator to the point he’s stuck recovering in a hospital is potentially depriving his constituents of a voice in the Senate, which means you’ve also kinda sorta violated the civil rights of a whole lot of people.
And if it gets a slap on the wrist, expect more people with no morals and a strong lust for power (IOW, most far leftists) to do it again and again and gain real political power through terrorism. And expect people on the other side to then feel that they’re morally entitled to return the favor to reclaim the political power they won through elections. And then you get a civil war.
They’re already convinced themselves that punching Nazis is perfectly OK, and Republicans are just different kind of Nazi as far as they’re concerned.
It really is yet another good argument for a much more decentralized government. By concentrating the power in such a small group makes it much easier for the terrorists.
I’m pretty sure a couple of politicians are going to get killed before Trump’s term is out. After that, who the hell knows? Prepping for civil war is high on my TODO list.
Liars dont backtrack. They tell new lies and pretend the previous ones dont exist.
The New York Times didn’t feel the need to backtrack on blaming Sarah Palin for the Arizona shooting. It double-down on it five years later. I expect the same here.

You sure? One of the articles said it is a fed offense to assault a ‘federal officer’ and asserted that a senator qualifies.
Doesn’t really matter. They are still little piggies.
Actually it isnt worse. Go hit some random drunken asshole with a weapon, crack six ribs and put him in the hospital with a ruptured lung and you are likely to be charged with attempted murder or at least some form of felonious assault.
I should have qualified that better: blindside random drunken asshole in an unprovoked attack that causes serious, even life threatening injury and you are going to jail in just about any jurisdiction in the country.
If they let this dude off and he ends up as the next Hodgkinson the shit is really gonna hit the fan.
One of my teammates got busted in the face during a hockey game by an off-duty cop. Two-handed swing like the asshole was trying to split a log.

Nice.
One of the second stringers at Current Affairs has some thoughts to share.
https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/11/every-parent-deserves-a-nanny-state
This is a two-fer: a childless woman explaining why we should emulate the policies of countries with below-replacement fertility rates.
***
Even though our economy benefits from population growth, the state continues to confine the costs of care to nuclear families and the private sector. This toxic dynamic is straining our society’s ability to rear its children.
…
In the struggle for free universal childcare, we’ve actually regressed since World War II. For a brief three years, Congress funded an expansive childcare program through a 1940s wartime law called the Lanham Act. With large segments of the male population drafted away, the state tapped women to sustain production at home. In exchange, it offered affordable relief from caregiving duties if the mothers could meet the low eligibility bar: working in a community contributing to the war effort, and paying of a small flat fee under 75 cents per day. The school formats and hours varied by locality but, in some places, ran 24/7 to accommodate round-the-clock work schedules. The scheme worked. For the first time in the country’s history, married women even surpassed single women in the labor force. By the time the war wound down, the program had become so popular that protests broke out around the country when Congress began closing facilities.
…
Pictured: Each year, parents come to the pier to return inconvenient children to the stork, who carries them to the nearest public boarding school to be raised in a friendly and supportive environment. Artwork by Vanessa A. Bee
…
Though there’s a pervasive social assumption that 100% “DIY parenting” is inherently more virtuous, the truth is that parents, as a class, are not innately better-suited than experienced caregivers when it comes to performing emotionally rewarding, but ultimately mundane childcare-related tasks like homework, cooking dinner, and tucking children in. One Percent families have no qualms enlisting the private village to help their children with Common Core-style math and building science projects. In fact, rich parents are the few people in the U.S. who are able to take advantage of the ultimate outsourcing village: the boarding school.
….
Boarding schools should be about expanding options to parents and reimagining our childrearing culture. But carving out more time to care for children and for oneself can be achieved by additional means, too. Luckily for us, some of these means complement existing goals of the Left. For instance, shortening the work week to 36 or even 30 hours would grant parents who wish to spend more time at home the power to do so.
…
A statutorily-reduced work week would also discourage employers from demanding longer hours from parents who would choose to place their children in boarding schools.
The argument for universal childcare is grounded in best outcomes for children, but also, just as importantly, in superior quality of life for their parents.
***
Sound like a great plan. Where do I sign up for this glorious future, comrade?
The boarding school, or as I call it, Pedo-Mart.
Oh, fuck you, bitch. The state is already making me pay for their schools, their lunches, giving their parents tax deductions for their existence, and inflicting untold punishments on me because some brat somewhere might see titties or a bottle of alcohol. You want kids? YOU pay for them for a change.
“…the truth is that parents, as a class, are not innately better-suited than experienced caregivers when it comes to performing emotionally rewarding, but ultimately mundane childcare-related tasks like homework, cooking dinner, and tucking children in.”
Ceausescu approves.

Is this basically arguing that the state can take care of our children as well as we can?
If so, Melissa Harris Perry agrees vigorously.

When my older brother turned 16, in 1998, my dad found bought him a car. I don’t know where he found one that wasn’t rusted away, but he got him a 77 model Renault LeCar. .8 liters of fury under the hood. His friends made fun of him mercilessly about it.

This is sort of like the, “if only we’d spend more money, would could have averted the bankruptcy”-argument.
They will never be happy until 100% of every economy is entirely controlled by Top People; and then, when it continues to fail, they will blame ‘subversives’ and ‘wreckers’ within the system.
Which is why I call bullshit when I’m told that autonomous and real vehicles will share the road. The fuckers have come right out and said they want us out of our cars.
Pass.
Of course they want us out of our cars. Nothing else gives a person more independence than the ability to go great distances at will and carry lots of stuff with them. It is empowering to have your own vehicle. It is empowering to be able to defend yourself. It is empowering to have enough wealth that you have options. It is empowering to have people who have your back (family). It is empowering to have private property that produces wealth (land). You name it, anything that empowers the individual the left is trying to kill.

Tweaking infantry platoon structure
Current structure
***
In the United States Army,[16] rifle platoons are normally composed of 42 soldiers. They are led by a Platoon Leader (PL), usually a second lieutenant (2LT), and with a Platoon Sergeant (PSG), usually a Sergeant First Class (SFC, E-7). Rifle platoons consist of three nine-man rifle squads and one nine-man weapons squad, each led by a Staff Sergeant (E-6). The platoon headquarters includes the PL, PSG, the radio-telephone operator (RTO), platoon forward observer (FO), the FO’s RTO and the platoon medic.
***
My proposal
PL, PSG, 2 RTOs, 1 FO, 1 sapper/engineer, 1 SMAW (rocket launcher) —- HQ squad (8 soldiers)
M203 (grenadier), M249 (machine gunner), M4 with scope (designated marksman), medic, 2 M4 (rifleman), MP5 (submachine gunner), section leader — 1 section (8 soldiers)
5 sections + HQ squad = 48 soldiers
So the main differences are more medics, designated marksmen, and submachine gunners. I think having a variety of weapons is better for flexibility. Several modern armies include designated marksmen in their platoon structures.
You could make do like Germans (and I think US) in ww2 if you want an SMG and give it to the section leader. They should be commanding, not taking potshots.
A lot of armies started with 4 and 5 section/squad platoons but found it better to drop to three. Sometimes it was simply due to lack of manpower (post-42 Germany) but maybe something about number of capable NCOs? Or just how many squads you can expect an Lt to keep track of?
Yes, playing Flames of War for 10+ years made me think about platoon and company structures a LOT 😛
1) FO & FO RTO are attached from FA (at the brigade level) not organic
2) There’s been a great effort in increasing the medical ability of all soldiers. When I was in, the goal was one combat lifesaver (CLS; able to start IVs, insert airways, able to do a little more than buddy aid ) per squad. That’s pretty much the baseline now.
3) Getting rid of the GPMGs (M240) gives up a lot of your organic firepower in exchange for pistol caliber SMGs. The number I always heard was the two MGs were 83% of the platoon’s firepower. That’s the base of fire to allow the rifle squads to maneuver to the enemy under our current doctrine. Would take a lot of work to come up with an alternative to the current doctrine. Not saying it shouldn’t/couldn’t be done, but it’s not there for no good reason either. They also have a reach that is increasingly lacking with carbine equipped rifle squads.
4) Switch out the M4 with a scope for something with a longer barrel or heavier round.
5) Under the current organization, a rifle squad is divided into fire teams of 3-4 men including the team leader who is responsible for his fireteam. This allows the squad leader to give direction to the team leaders (and individuals as needed) but doesn’t have to directly supervise 8 joes all the time.
6) Schooling, in/out processing, sickcall, leave, additional duty, etc. almost always guarantees that a platoon is never at full book strength on any given day.
in 2003, CLS was optional…. by the time I was called up again in 2007, we ALL had to take and pass.
I’d advocate to return to the old “H Series” Infantry platoon of my LT days with a few tweaks. The Army adopted 9 man squad because of the Bradley- so the organization had to fit the vehicle limitations and not the other way around. (See the link for the hilarious but true story of the Bradley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA )
Three squads with 11 grunts: SL with rifle (or SMG if you prefer), SSG; two Team Leaders with rifles SGT; two automatic riflemen with M249’s (note Derp that the SAW is not a MG-it is an automatic rifle and can fire M16 magazines or belt), two M-203 gunners (a great but underutilized weapon) and four riflemen. That gives you a SL and two five man fireteams. The downside to an SMG for the SL is now you need to add another type of ammo to the supply chain and he can’t swap out magazines when the shit get real. I would keep the SL with a common ammunition and magazine type.
Weapons squad with a SL, two M-240 teams (Gunner, AG and ammo bearer) and two AT teams armed with the Carl Gustov (versus my era with the 90mm) of a gunner and spotter/ammo bearer. I would add two marksman teams of one shooter and one spotter. I advocate the M21 since the round is good and if the shit gets too hot they can strip rounds from the M240 belts.
HQ section with PL, PSG and RTO . I would up it to two RTO’s and I would also add two UAV drivers for the nano-UAVs already in use.
Keep the usual attachments. Plus everybody in the platoon would add belted 7.62; AT rounds or 60mm mortar rounds to their loads. Based on my experience the basic load would be 420 rounds 5.56 (7 magazines plus 7 loads more), one vest of 40mm per M203; 800 rounds of belted 5.56; 120 rounds match grade 7.62 per marksman 1200 7.62 rounds per MG team. Each rifleman and member of HQ section also gets 2 frag grenades at a minimum. The ammo loads would shift depending on the mission e.g. M203 rounds and grenades climbing for MOUT.

On the journey back to Nashville I stopped at a secondhand shop on the roadside, selling Confederate paraphernalia, owned by Nikki who had a complicated relationship to the stars and bars. “I’m a proud southerner,” she said. “But you and I both know the [American] civil war’s basically about slavery,” she told me. “Thank God we lost, thank God … but it doesn’t mean that we still don’t wanna honour our dead.”

What. a. monster.
Alternet is possibly the only site worse than EF.
Perhaps, just perhaps, the left’s constant harping on racial identity over the past 4 decades has worked its way into white America’s psyche as well.
If institutional racism is why black America doesn’t succeed, why can’t it be white America doesn’t succeed? After all, the burden of proof for these assertions doesn’t seem to exist.

I’m gonna shut up now before going into “get off my lawn” mode. Good luck.
But once you achieve scrum mastress status, if you ever want grizzled programmer glibettarian perspective, feel free to put up bat signal.

Same as you, smart guy.
Thanks, though.

Greatest rock and roll song ever? It’s no easy task. But I’ve spent years on the question. It’s entirely possible that it is Sonic’s Rendezvous Band “City Slang”

It is a good song. It sort-of ties together the Detroit/Ann Arbor rock scene of the late 1960’s ( MC5, the UP. The Stooges,etc.) Anyway, who gives a shit. Going to to sleep because I need to go to sleep.
