It’s Monday, I’m still up to my ass in boxes from a move (Thanks to Swiss and ZARDOZ for picking up the slack), and I’m grumpy. I will catbutt anyone who posts a link that I already posted. RTFLs!
- I think all libertarians (glib, yokel, comso, and furries) can agree that being fired from a Federal job for violating the rules should not include 30 days of paid leave.
- One can only imagine how much pancake it takes to choke a Catholic girl.
- Remember, just one more law can stop domestic violence. Unless the cops tell you to stop calling 911.
- Tesla passes Ford in market cap. One makes 25,000 trucks a week, the other 25,000 cars a quarter. I know, I know, the market can stay irrational longer than a rational man can stay solvent.
- Random autoplay warning, but worth linking because SCIENCE proves Canadians are the biggest cry babies.
Have a little shovel-guitar for your Monday.

RTFLs!
FUCK OFF, SLAVER.
Comedians have figured out the trick to covering Trump, says shitbag Vox Millennial, fails to understand that drop in ratings means they’re preaching to a smug, vapid choir, one that will accept any garbage shoveled into their mouths. Comments are then full of people complaining that he didn’t mention Trevor Noah.
The first two months of Trumpmania were the left falling on its own sword. Now they’re desperately running themselves up and down it screaming “TIS BUT A FLESH WOUND.” If Trump isn’t a complete bloody moron (and with the current healthcare plan that’s up in the air) 2020 is his.
Trump is a complete bloody moron. That much is very clear.
But the progressive response to him has been so batshit insane over the top that it manages to make him look good. Which is why he’s probably going to win in 2020 (if he’s still around then).
The Progressive response has been so batshit insane, that they may actually undo themselves completely by 2020.
They may even get it done fast enough for the Freedom Caucus to be able to split off from the establishment Republicans and become the second party.
One can dream, anyway. While the stranglehold on CA & NY is probably enough to keep Team Blue on life support for a few more cycles, Team Red is now big enough and broadly enough distributed that real fault-lines are emerging. If the Dems can’t get their shit together and do start to fade away for real, the Repubs will factionalize immediately.
Well, the Dems spent 40 straight years controlling Congress while tolerating multiple factions within their big tent of a party, so while we’ll see a lot more intraparty fighting among the Reps now that they actually have a respectable number of seats I don’t see it leading to an actual party split or even necessarily electoral loss.
My fantasy entails the Dems ceasing to exist as an effective political force, a la the Whigs in 1856. If they persist even as an annoying minority party, then yes – the Repubs become the 1960s Dems.
My coworker sends me a minimum of 5 articles a day about how the jig is up for Trump and he’ll be reigned in on RICO charges. He also believes that the electoral college should be abolished due to antiquity. He’s an urban male who has only ever grown up in the liberal bubble of Atlanta.
Not a phrase I see a lot, but I can believe it.
It has become recently. But I think living out in the country has slanted my views a bit.
Also I’m starting to see more and more virtue signalling in neighborhoods in Atlanta. Like signs saying “WE WELCOME REFUGEES”. I’m sure you do, but what about your black neighbors who you wouldn’t hesitate to call the cops on if you didn’t know them.
Near where I work in Oakland CA there is a very fancy organic food market that all the rich liberals from the (swanky) Glen Park area shop at. They have a good deli, but boy they make Whole Foods look cheap.
They got new credit card scanners a few weeks back, and set them up with Spanish as the default. I have never – I mean never – seen anyone in that store who looked even remotely like they would be native Spanish speaker. Even the checkers and baggers are mostly Asian. But it’s all about the gesture, I suppose . . .
Rockridge Market Hall?
If that’s what you are talking about, I had a girlfriend who worked in the front office there. That was 25 years ago (yikes, how time flies. )
No – the Farmer Joe’s on Fruitvale. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the same thing at the Market Hall, but I haven’t been there since I lived in that area about 10 years ago.
Rock Ridge? Is it run by Hedley LaMarr?
With Berkeley Bowl nearby, why would anyone shop there?
True story: when my kid was about four, I took him there for my weekly Saturday shopping. He kept asking, “Daddy, why is everybody here so angry?”
It’s all eldric gesturing and non-Euclidean geometry at this point. May as well throw a hex on ’em.
What they mean is that they welcome refugees into black neighborhoods.
Plenty of cities in otherwise completely not liberal regions in the south are plenty liberal. I know little about Atlanta but that doesn’t surprise me.
Racking up big margin in one or two urban centers while ignoring the rest of the state is the Democratic MO. Trump won by dominating margins throughout most of Downstate Illinois, including 80% of Wayne County. He lost bigly in Illinois anyway. In 1996, Dole received a similar ass-kicking in Illinois, but it was more geographically dispersed. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/data/ct-illinois-president-results-20161108-htmlstory.html
Not just in the South. Pennsylvania, for example, is extremely conservative outside the city limits of Philly and Pittsburgh. Even the burbs of those cities are quite conservative.
I lived and worked in Atlanta. It’s an island.
So how does he feel about Susan Rice acting like a little pawn for her devious boss with regards to spying?
Never mind. NOTHING TO SEE.
As you say “nothing to see” but if that changes, Obama will throw her under the bus in a heartbeat
which is why that HBO promo for 2017 that bashes the shit out of John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight is so funny.. because it’s true.

Best thing he’s ever done. If they had Anthony Hopkins on there brutally mocking him it would have been even better.
Samantha Bee is simply not funny.
She’s awful. It’s not even humor it’s just someone being a twat for a joke. Like Anthony Jeselnik.
Jeselnik’s “Thoughts and Prayers” was wonderful.
I think it’s his voice that drives me crazy.
Are we even sure that she’s Canadian? Who am I kidding? At this point, does it matter? Yeah, she’s insufferable. I’m just waiting for that 20lb watermelon to drop from her fevered loins when Gorsuch gets confirmed.
Like Anthony Jeselnik.
Well, someone has no idea what he’s talking about. That boy is hilarious.
Could it be that comedic talent is related to attractiveness?
Because, Ho. Lee. Shit is she ugly.
One can only imagine how much pancake it takes to choke a Catholic girl.
I mean that sounds like a thing one does, right?
Three days!? And the article says they don’t know what killed her other than participating in a Greek Life event. You didn’t tell us it was a Catholic sorority girl, Brett.
What kind of monster would make fun of her dying? I’m talking about something three days before that.
I hate to throw this out there, but I feel like there is a Frank Zappa lyric that should be added to this article. Something, something from Frank’s Garage
Do you know how they go?
After the show?
And none of their mama’s ever seem to know.
Oh Zappa, you filthy bastard

Tesla passes Ford in market cap.
It’s a good thing I’m too poor to put my money where my mouth is. Between the Federal Reserve and Tesla, I would have shorted myself right into a cardboard box under a bridge.
I wonder how well Tesla performs without endless government subsidies? I’m going to guess: not so good
Which is why despite prog screeching Musk joined the businesses council Trump put together, he needs the money to stay afloat.
I think it goes to show that people value hype and good feelings at least as much as physical products.
They plan to start mass producing cars later this year – something Ford did in 1908.
I distinctly remember the Dot Com boom, and I can’t help but see some similarities here…
Except this TSLA ridiculousness has been going on for a good 10 years already. It’s an absurd stock, but it’s also a bear destroyer due to its cult nature.
Put options. Damn, I need to get some money, because when reality hits, it’s going to be ugly.
Wait, why that option unless you already have Tesla stock?
They make money when the stock price goes down. Like short selling, but without the risk, because you only risk whatever you pay upfront.
The Auto Industry Is About To Drive Off A Cliff, Again
The easy money era is over. And I agree with the article and comments on pricing. Some models like the Accord and Camry have barely budged on price. SUV’s and “luxury” cars have gone insane with their pricing.
You Gilmored that link but good.
I sure did.

Once again, they brought this on themselves.
They make too many fucking cars! It’s that simple.

I still think that monocle chain is coming out of that cat’s anus. It would explain his expression.
It’s a Twinkle Tush.
I guess the link would be helpful.
Are you competing with HM now to see who can get me fired?
Fun fact: this entire site is an elaborate ruse to get you fired.
I doubt it… there’s no asian bondage porn anywhere.
Why’s it specifically asian bondage porn? I find the Czechs and Central Europeans in general to be the masters of the field.
Intentional pun? I hope so.
Maybe you should apply for a position at the VA?
I’m not sure what you thought would happen. (Probably NSFW)
That guy is OBVIOUSLY not Asian.
Also…. PROBABLY?! Where the fuck do YOU work?
You didn’t specify that the subject had to be. Gengoroh Tagame most certainly is. Very SFW, I think Canadians will appreciate the shirt he’s wearing.
PROBABLY?! Where the fuck do YOU work?
I’m the IT guy where I work
😉
Ah yes… hide in plain sight… the mind of a killer.
Thanks for that, Jesse. Not a particular fan, but I’ve been seeing his work on a lot of tumblrs and wondered what the deal was.
There is another monocle on the other end, so that cat can see in both directions.
is a yokel a paleotarian? I’m not hip to your younggins slang talk.
Yokeltarians are the libertarians who bitch about cosmotarians being too interested in getting invited to all the right cocktail parties.
btw, you misspelled cosmo in your article.
Nah, it’s slang for komsomolskaya pravda.
Shit. Now I have to leave it there.
Yokel’s more of a general term than a specific platform, usually it’s just a vague ‘leans right/Republican’. Mostly has to do with what policies you focus on and how you want it done (immigration being the current big one, with the ‘yokel’ argument being anything from ‘reduce the amount of immigrants, maybe even from specific areas or religions’ to ‘i want more immigration, but only after the welfare state is dead’).
What I want to know is why furries are separate. Is there some secret furritarian lobby in the movement that I’m not aware of?
You don’t visit here on Fridays?
Just out of curiosity, has the random Fur Friday thing given people the misimpression that I’m a furry or something?
It’s your avatar that throws us off.
Ouch. That’s my face, not a fursuit.
Hey man, if it looks like a bear, talks like a bear…
Jesse, we cool. You don’t need to hide your true self here.
Go ahead and change your display pic to an anthropomorphic wolf or whatever.
Warning: Red Rocket.
If identifying as an anthropomorphic dog got me abs like that, I’d probably roll with it.
You people are weird.
So I frequent a gun blog that has 2 or 3 completely out there furries that frequently comment. They have the furry avatars and everything. Once in awhile a normie will notice this and have a total meltdown in the comments. It is extremely entertaining to watch.
Go ahead and change your display pic to an anthropomorphic wolf or whatever.
I suddenly have the urge to change my handle.

•Tesla passes Ford in market cap.
When the Model 3 craps the bed and fails to deliver even 10% of their pre-sales, the stock will probably just stay on flatline, because people are idiots.
I think a yokel (-tarian) is a paleotarian what loves him some traktur pullz.
Let’s ask joe from lowell. He can explain it all to us.
He hatez the pullz, because he can never see over the people in front of him.
I can’t imagine Rothbard and Justin Raimondo at a tractor pull. Unless that’s a euphemism for a Buchanan rally
Baseball season has started and Cesar Hernandez is on pace to hit 648 home runs and the Phillies are winning the World Series.

Wow… deadpools original costume was kinda lame.
That’s a pretty fucked up story. But I don’t see anywhere in what I read where the cops are at fault.
If you talk to any cop that’s been around for awhile they will tell you without question the absolute worst calls are domestic violence calls. Not only are you on the hook for making the wrong call, but quite often the ‘victim’ will side with the ‘assailant’ the moment you slap the cuffs on. It is very common to hear about women attacking the police for trying to hurt their bf and vice versa.
Repeat from AM links comments: White House wants Amash to be primaried.

I heard this story from my colleagues at my last job:
They had a Fedgov co worker who literally shit herself at her desk every day. She took no steps to seek medical or psych treatment, and did nothing to mitigate the smell or filthiness emanating from her cubicle. The cleaning people refused to ever go in her cube, even to empty her trash.
It took two fucking years to fire her. There was literal human feces in her cube, and it took two years to can her.
I imagine that’s what Reason’s office was like after Trump’s election
It’ll take 4 to 8 years to clean up there.
Wow. It’s rare to find employees that give a shit.
She certainly didn’t give a shit but man could she take one.
Did anyone ever figure out why?
Why not?
I like the cut of your shit jib
Wow. Literal pant shitting.
I worked at a psychic/phone sex place for a while, and they paid the phone sex operators by how long they could keep guys on the phone. One woman who had low numbers managed to keep a guy on for a long while, but had an accident in the process. I saw the maintenance guy taking out what then became known as the ‘poop chair’.
My sides are in orbit.
The thought of people calling up BP for phone sex is frightening.
Way harsh, Ty.
“I worked at a psychic/phone sex place for a while”
Never mind the dirty talk, what’s the winning lottery number?
Be honest, it was Pelosi, right?
I’m sorry you lost your job.
Progressive Discipline to fire takes forever. I’m sure the supervisor ‘took steps’ to accommodate her situation?
First they need to keep records to prove no one else poops on the job for an extended period of time. Then they need to counsel the individual. Then repeat several times before you can fire them.
At the state prison where I used to work, there were employees who thought attendance was fucking optional. There were employees who would flat-out refuse to do their jobs (“I ain’t doin’ that shit!”) and never faced any consequences. And there were plenty who were physically and mentally unfit to do the job, but they couldn’t be let go or made to retire. This group included a 75-year old officer with a shoulder problem that practically immobilized his left arm, poorly controlled diabetes that would periodically send him into an incoherent mental state, almost nonexistent hearing, and rapidly declining vision.
It seems like the only thing that would likely get you fired was fucking one of the inmates, but there was a CO who did that and still kept his job; they just moved the inmate to a different prison.
Well I know where I’m applying once my lifetime supply of fucks runs out.
For real. It seems like you have to do a halfway decent job for a few years, but after you rack up some seniority, you’re in the clear. In the unlikely event that you find yourself being disciplined for something, just go screaming and crying to your AFSCME rep and you’ll be good to go. You might even get six months of paid “stress leave” (true story). As long as you can resist the prisoner pussy (which is not hard to do with the body odor and abysmal level of attractiveness) you can collect a handsome wage, lavish benefits, and a cushy retirement.
Unless the cops tell you to stop calling 911.
In my municipality, the emergency response hotline is something of a humorous trifle.
Dr, Shulkin needs to figure out the only way to fire a VA employee, is by pushing them down the stairs.

Find a new job.
Way ahead of you. I had three interviews in the past two weeks.
Why would anyone use their work computer for it when you can watch anything on your phone?
1- The VA’s firewall doesn’t catch everything but it does flag websites (like this one!) for IT to manually review if the software can’t decide to block it. So maybe he got lucky.
2- I’ve been to some VAMCs that doubled as fallout shelters, so getting signal can be hit or miss.
3- The average VA employees is simultaneously averse to technology and stupid.

I’m not a serious investor or anything, and I certainly don’t work in that industry, but everything about Tesla seems absurd. Why do so many people feel compelled to dump money into that company when their plans are so far-fetched and seem so likely to struggle?
being able to run people down without them hearing you is the #1 driver of that stock.
There’s actually a law in many places that electric cars have to simulate a motor sound so people can hear the car. The first time I heard that I think I gave myself a bruise from smacking my forehead.
I fully expect someone to amend the Hearing Protection Act so that suppressors must have a loudspeaker that blares “BANG” when you pull the trigger.
Wasn’t there some kind of movement to force cell phone cameras to make a picture-taking noise to prevent dirtbags from surreptitiously photographing women?
It’s a law in some East Asian countries (I believe Japan and Korea). It’s policy for some American carriers (Sprint and it’s value partners like Virgin).
I had a phone that the shutterclick sound was actually louder than if I carried around a DSLR because the phone had a separate set of speakers for playing music. I found that out when I thought I’d disabled it and then was taking a picture with some friends I hadn’t seen in forever while we were visiting a dead-silent fine art museum. Ended up rooting the phone just to disable that file.

I’d guess a lot of it is investor “fear of missing out”. Being amplified, of course, by the fawning, Pravda-esque coverage Musk receives from the tech press.
And then you see another company totally kicking ass, but the CEO pissed off some Wall St. firm for one reason or another, and so the stock is still sitting in the dirt just so they can prove a point.
Apparently they were telling her neighbor to stop calling 9/11, not the dead woman. I’m not exactly sure that’s any better though.

There was a hotel next my college campus we affectionately call the Ram-it-on-in.
I guess someone needed to explain to them that American Pie 2 was not, in fact, an instructional video.
When you get to the story it says “reportedly” used a potion and the last paragraph is:
“Kenyan media speculated that the woman’s cuckolded husband had used a magun potion designed to catch adulterous wives.”
So it goes from speculation to an authoritative statement in the headline.
From the pancake story: Police said that Nelson suffered from multiple food allergies, but it is yet unclear what caused her death, the report said.
If they used old pancake mixes, then that might have contributed.

Like every other progressive theme, they only fail if they stop trying.
I’m of mostly German heritage. If I decide to take a Spanish class (or Italian, Russian, etc.), is that cultural appropriation.
Not if you plan to conquer and subjugate all those places.
No, as the Holy Roman Empire pretty much ruled over parts of most of those countries at one time. Also, the House of Romanov eventually married into a cadet branch of the House of Oldenburg.
Chinese then?
The Chinese Room in the Royal Place in Berlin is part of your heritage too.
You’d better work out all those Latin based words you’re mashing into your Germanic language first.

Last Monday, I submitted a FOIA request to a local PD for video and audio of police encounter I had. I finally was contacted today by the circuit clerk. She forwarded me to the local PD. The local PD said that they had seen my request but that in order for it to be processed, I would have to show up in person and resubmit and sign the paperwork. Sounds to me like I’m getting a run around.
Anyway, when I leave work at 7pm this evening, I will be going into the belly of the beast to meet with the police themselves. Wish me luck on not getting arrested/shot. I’m not looking forward to this.
Be polite, be circumspect, do not make any furtive motions.

Unclear what caused her death? Her brain went without oxygen long enough for some cells to die. Subsequently, in the course of her body trying to remove the necrosis her brain swelled to the point of no longer being able to function. I have seen this happen. It is not pretty.

I don’t know if it was his neighbor or his friends neighbor, but he was at a party last weekend and some douchebag gets really drunk beats up on his girlfriend and punches her baby in the face. The lady screams and comes running over to where the party was all beat up. My boss has her come in house and calls the cops they tell him do not leave the house we will be right there. The hours roll by and about 3-4 hours later and multiple calls to the police that includes the fact that the ladies douchebag boyfriend owns a gun, knows where she is and could be back any minute. Finally a single squad car rolls up with what my boss describes as a midget lady police officer. She takes a report and suggests the lady goes to the hospital and stays at the neighbors house or with family if possible and to call if the boyfriend shows back up. My boss is like wait a minute this guy knows I helped this lady out your hours late and he is a psycho what if he shows up later and just kills us all with his gun!!!
Where’s your boss’s gun? Or is he a liberal in the process of getting mugged by reality?
Didn’t think to ask. He is not a liberal though. I also know he built and owns a flamethrower he brought it to work because the weeds around the building got so bad and who wants to hire somebody to pull them. Still even if you do have a gun do you want to go through the danger and the legal hassle of a firefight when you pay taxes so the police can deal with that shit?
Except you don’t pay taxes so the police can deal with that shit. It has been ruled multiple times that the police have no duty to protect you, to the point that they can be grossly negligent and still have immunity.
Remember: when seconds count, the police are only 4 hours away. That’s why you own a gun.
I’m not saying that police are reliable or that gun ownership is not smart. But we live in a world where even if you are completely legally in the right in a self defense shooting you are going to suffer some major consequences. First hiring a lawyer which can cost at least thousands of dollars, then dealing with the police and possibly the courts for months. So i can see how he would be annoyed that he was basically put in the position of risking his life, his families life and finances to protect someone the police should have been protecting.
I’m not disagreeing, but how the world should be and how the world is becomes a pretty ugly venn diagram when the rubber meets the road. The moment he took that woman inside his house he opened himself up a big nasty can of worms. I would have done the same thing in his position, but if that dirtbag comes over to his house looking for a fight the last thing you want is a 911 operator saying “They’re on their way, just hang on.”

“The people who are moving into my neighborhood want their children to have a diverse upbringing, but not too diverse. They still want a white school, just with other non-white children also participating. They want to go to the Christmas pageant and not have their white sensibilities violated because the other parents are too loud and boisterous and it makes them uncomfortable, for really no good reason. They don’t want their kid to notice her whiteness in Pre-k and then find out while addressing that question, that while they already own great books about diversity, the only children’s books specifically about whiteness are published by the KKK. They don’t want their child to ask them why Quintavious’s sister says she doesn’t like white people. They don’t want to have to wonder when the teacher calls, if they are getting extra attention because white parents are often perceived as overbearing. They want diversity, just not too much.”
No one’s really sympathetic in this article.
This is made up. None of this is happening and the narrator is just projecting.
And I went to an all white elementary and junior high school. I never once mentioned how the white man was oppressing me.
I went to a 75% hispanic school the racism against whites was pretty insane at times. I got into a few fights that were as trivial as looking at a cholo wrong. I also lived in Puerto Rico for a while as a kid same thing, it was private school and Pokemon was big. If the poorer/unlucky kids wanted one of my holographic cards they just ganged up on me and either beat me up and stole it or went to the teacher and said I stole it from them. Still I had tons of hispanic friends growing up who were not racist. The other whites were a mixture of baptists, mormons and jews. I mostly hung out with jews throughout high school. The mormons were insular and the Baptists were a little too religious. I remember being so jealous that my jewish friends got to go to Jew camp over the summer and I couldn’t go or hang out with them because they were out of town.
Yeah my high school ended up being like 70/30 black -white/hispanic. And boy those kids were far from woke.
What, you don’t believe she can read minds?
I mean I know hoteps think they can.
Also, so it’s not enough to try and be diverse but if you attempt to participate in other culture’s activities is appropriation. What the fuck is going on?
That’s why you never play their game or ever apologize. No matter what you do or how “woke” you seem, you can never satisfy their social justice bloodlust.
So let me try to understand this- people moved in, thought the schools were shitty, used their resources to get their kids into a better learning environment (while still paying for the regular public schools through their undoubtedly high taxes), and this is terribly wrong. Is that the gist of it?
Her mother, a teacher at a suburban school, and her father, a PhD candidate at the state university, both find the school completely acceptable, more than acceptable.
Let me guess that his PhD program is not physics.
I got berated by one of my friends when I told him that when my wife and I have children, they will not be attending any of the Chicago Public Schools. They honestly believed that I should sacrifice my children’s education on the alter of the so called common good.
Diana Moon Glampers is a Progressive.
For a kick, point out that the logical consequence of their argument is that all private schools should be outlawed and all students should be assigned a public school via lottery, no appeals (including theirs).
It’s guaranteed to get the thousand-yard stare.
And not do they want you to pay for shit, they want you to also be apart of their shit. Because not participating means that you are a bad person.
Sacrificing your kids to a system which is incapable of competence is the only way that your social signals can have meaning.
Cool. So be a bad person. I am.
No lower form of prog than those willing to fuck up their kids lives just so they can social signal. I really hope that trend does not last.
This is just the new anti-school choice narrative. People don’t want to send their kids to the local public school in the cheap neighborhood because racism.
But if you actually take a minute to add up the loose ends in the narrative you realize that the argument is that the schools in the poor minority neighborhoods aren’t actually crappy schools, they’re just beset by crappy student populations.
The argument is literally that school choice is bad because the white kids will be taken out, which makes those schools will not perform as well, which hurts the non-white kids, because their schools will perform poorly without the white kids. Not even in code – I’ve heard this exact argument verbatim from Progressives, and even the linked article brags about how well the white student is able to utilize all the wonderful resources no one would have expected to find at that school.
Note: this is supposed to be the non-racist argument.
Man fuck all that. If I ever have kids they will not go to public school in Georgia.
My daughter is in a “California Distinguished School,” and it’s a joke. For her, it’s six hours of recreational reading, since at least she has a teacher who’s conscious enough to notice that she’s on top of ‘the material.’
Needless to say, we’re looking into private schools for sixth grade, but my Progressive brother and his wife, who live in a $1M house in a fancy school district that is great in every way except its ‘lack of diversity,’ think we’re being racist.
Yeah my coworker thinks I’m not diverse enough and he lives in lily white Decatur and I’m out in the boonies and went to my Mexican neighbor’s kids’ first birthday.
Man what a party.
School Police Officers with Guns Send the Wrong Messages, Says ACLU
Ah, yes, what’s a day without proggy gun hysteria, but this time it’s aimed at police, which is at least slightly unusual.
Kids will feel like they’re in prison!
While you’re there you can’t leave, the meals suck, others there sometimes try to hurt you, exercise in the yard, boredom, lots of reading.
Literally nobody has ever made that comparison.
That’s actually surprising that they wouldn’t want to get them used to that. Like they have with metal detectors and random locker searches. Must be amateurs.
The truth is they want another bloodbath so they can dance on the still warm corpses while screaming for some muscle to take my guns away.
And they certainly wouldn’t make a children’s cartoon out of it.
“lots of reading”
In schools? Cool! I had been led to believe otherwise, I’m glad they still do that reading thing.
OK, I’ll confess that’s what I did. I loved the library.
Still, they’d complain on and on about the few books they were forced to read, like The Count of Monte Cristo. For shame! (one of my very favorite books)
Most of the rest of them were probably trying to get away with something, which is closer to a prison experience anyway.
I love how the ACLU has turned from being a group devoted to protecting liberties to full on progressive propaganda. I am not sure when that happened, but screw them.
It never happened. You, like me and most other people just believed because of PR spin that the ACLU was once a group devoted to protecting liberties.
Ok, which one of you did this?
Paging HM to the white courtesy phone….
Thanks for doxxing me, jerk.
Isn’t Hihn a part of the libertarian party apparatus??
I am glad to tell you it took me a minute to determine WTF I was reading. The pic of Douglas is perfect.
I’m thinking about changing mine to his pic.
Libertarian woman found!
She speaks only a few words and he wants an upgrade? To make her mute, amirite?
You said it Jimbo.
Yeah, I agree too.
/why there are no libertarian women.
But he got it right about engineering her to do chores.
Hopefully ‘no’ and ‘headache’ are not in the list.
Hey, wait a minute: are we married to the same woman?
Considering how irregularly we fuck and how little she cleans the house, that would explain quite a bit.
Hey that’s my wife too.
I heard a trickling in the backyard and went to investigate. Found a little waterfall!
Bro, that is not a waterfall. Do your neighbors have a plumbing problem?
Hey, I moved from Texas! That’s a waterfall to me! (It’s a little rip-rap channel to the creek at the bottom of the ravine) I’m just happy to have water flowing on my property. The “creek” at my last property only flowed 5 or 10 days a year.
Aaaah, ok, that makes sense.
Does it smell like urine?
I’m just happy to have water flowing on my property.
The EPA would like to have a word about the navigable waters recently found on your property.
There are a few . . . hazards for the ships to watch out for.
Waterfalls are just rivers with shorter slopes.
That looks nothing like a dumpster… I’m suspicious….
Jesse dragged me into the forest
You got the bear to take away your garbage? Nice!
The Vince Foster comic.
Is this the storyboard to a new Disney Pixar film?
I saw something about the Vince Foster story on Lew Rockwell.
I am looking at this site, which is maintained by a fellow who argues he was murdered.
