    I don’t even think they had any meaningful sportsball yesterday. Except for there fact that Manure won the Europa League (which has existed for more than 20 years). And the Firstros lost a game, which I feel compelled to mention so as not to be accused of giving only good news involving them.  Anyway, the real big shit happens tonight at the Wales Conference reaches a crescendo and the Celtics have their season ended by the Cavs, which I feel comfortable reporting as a fact even 13 hours ahead of the game.

    Anyway, blah, blah, blah. Other stuff and shit.  You guys want to get right into it. So here come…the links!

    Greg Gianforte

    Montana special election takes a turn toward the insane when the Republican hopeful decided to literally bodyslam a reporter that got in his face. When asked for a comment on the incident, the candidate was heard to say “oh yeah!” He was cited for misdemeanor assault, which would not prevent him from taking office and by law could not even be adjudicated until after he leaves his post, should he win.

    When DREAMing goes wrong. But hey, when you’re such a piece of shit that you’d illegally export arms to another country through drug cartels and you’d climb on top of a school full of dead children to call for gun control , I shouldn’t be surprised when you’d also let violent gang members in after they had been apprehended.

    Dirty little bastard. He’s lucky it wasn’t my kid otherwise his sentence would have included spending more than the next five years eternity on probation in a pine box.

    The offending clown

    Aw shit.  They’re baaaaaaaaack!

    I guess this guy never heard the phrase “quit while you’re ahead.” Dumbass.

    The title to this isn’t accurate. I know a lot more than just this one. Sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.

    Have a great day, friends! A freaking great day.

    News, news, news!  Comin’ at you at 100 miles an hour. Some of it true and some if it…well, we’re not sure yet but we’re gonna report it anyway. Especially if it serves our political paymasters well. But we don’t fall into that trap here at Glibs. Nosiree. We only report the facts. Or if we’re gonna report on innuendo, we at least make sure you know things are alleged or unconfirmed rumors according to unnamed sources familiar with ways of thinking of certain parties or whatever other bullshit people over at WaPo and the NYT are reporting as fact.  Facts. Like the fact that the Celtics are one game closer to being put out of their misery.  Facts. Like the Firstros winning again. And facts. Like the Penguins completely dominating a game yet losing to the Senators on the most dubious goalie interference call I’ve seen in my lifetime (with no explanation given by the official and much head-scratching occurring in the announcer’s box). Oh well, Game 7s are what makes playoff hockey so damn great. Tune in Thursday to see who will win the Prince of Wales Conference Championship and face off with the Campbell Conference champion Predators for the biggest trophy in North American sports.

    But I digress. Even though you’ve come to expect it, I have steered away from my purpose. So its time to get back on tracks and give you…the links!

    Three more arrests were made in the Manchester Suicide Terrorist Attack. I wonder how many of them are named for British monarchs. I’ll go ahead and take the under on that at 0.5. Won’t touch the over at 2.5 for them having a certain prophet’s name somewhere in there. Hell, I bet not even Ladbrokes is giving action on that sucker bet. Bu there was one thing I noticed in the article. Excerpt:

    Officials are probing how often Abedi had traveled to Libya, which has seen an eruption of armed Islamist groups since dictator Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown and killed in 2011.

    I suppose that’s the nice way of saying “Libya, which has been a cesspit since the United States had Quadaffi assassinated, the government overthrown and let the place descend into a terrorist haven where they could set up their gun-running to Syrian rebels operation under the stellar leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.” But that would be like those facts I alluded to up top. And that’s just not cricket, mate.

    Barack Obama: Illegal Spymaster Extraordinaire

    Alright, enough is enough. When a President and his administration abuse the authority granted to them so badly that they are getting formally censured by a secret court set up exclusively so they can spy on people without it being made public, then even I will say enough is enough and heads should roll.  Its time we all demanded prosecutions and impeachments. Its time we demanded congressional oversight in a public forum to shine the light on these flagrant abuses of authority.  Its time we called Donald Trump Barack Obama and the rest of his crooked administration out as the scumbags they are.  Seriously, Democracy Dies In Darkness, eh WaPo? So get off your fucking asses and report on legitemate and documented abuses of authority instead of third-hand accounts of what people are allegedly thinking about doing.

    Um, maybe that’s not a woman, you shitlord. Ever thought that since Xe hasn’t identified Xerself as male or female, then you shouldn’t attach labels when you put these stories together? I swear, sometimes with all the unwokeness that exists in the world, I just can’t even. (How long before the harpies at Jezebel actually write a story with those exact words when something like this happens?)

    Artist Rendition Of What May Have Happened

    OK, instant poll time. And be honest, because God is always watching. Yes or No, how many of you expected to read this headline in your lifetime: Clown with Bladed Gloves Murders Man and Escapes on Scooter, Cops Say. The only thing that could make it more awesome is if it happened at a taco stand that used to be an Arby’s “with a bad reputation.” WHICH IS FOR REALS IN THE FUCKING STORY!!!!!  Life is a mystery, my friends. A beautiful fucking mystery.

    “Right there. In the middle of the day. In broad daylight. In front of God and everybody,” You can imagine where it goes from there. (No, he doesn’t fix the cable.)

    Because you can’t, you won’t, and you don’t stop.

    That’s all I got. Sorry for the long-winded commentary. Sometimes you gotta let off some steam. Anyway, have a great day, friends!

    Damn. I’m still gonna give my usual little blurb about sports even though we all know the major topic of conversation today is gonna (literally) be 5,000 miles away.

    Still not gonna talk much about the NBA. We all know what’s coming once the formality of the Eastern Finals is done. I’m just sad that Popovich can now dedicate even more of his time to personal attacks on people he’s never met and politics he has a lot less understanding of than he thinks he does. Oh joy! Also, the Nashville Predators reached the Stanley Cup Finals after winning the Campbell Conference last night. So now Anaheim can go back to their paper routes. And of course the Firstros won.  They seem to always win.

    Alright. Enough diversion.  Its time to get down to business. I present you…the links!

    At least 22 deaths and scores of injuries after a suicide bomber terrorist attacked an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. My prayers are with them (which a great number of HuffPo commenters ridiculed others for saying). And it has the earmarks of an Islamist attack (which a Slate editor said he’ll ban people for bringing up if it proves to be something else). But nobody has claimed responsibility yet. Although ISIS shitbirds are cheering.

    Venezuela further descends into chaos

    Venezuelan protesters torch childhood home of Hugo Chavez. I didn’t know wreckers and kulaks had that much free time on their hands.

    It’s anonymously cited, so I won’t report it as fact like some other outlets do. But the DNC is allegedly in full-blown pants-shitting mode over the Seth Rich murder potentially being tied to the Wikileaks release of the Podesta (and others) emails which were never confirmed as genuine.

    I thought it was just a Trumpalo talking point. Which makes these two Democrat election clerks pleading guilty to voter fraud so perplexing. I guess those rednecks in deep-red Harris County, Texas (lololol) framed them.  Yeah, that’s the way the media will spin it. Just kidding. They won’t spin it any way. They’ll just ignore it.

    Dick Patterson: Not Guilty

    Excuse me while I whip this out. Hey, it worked, didn’t it?

    Didn’t this writer get the memo on sucking up to cops?  Apparently not, because this is a scathing takedown on how they did their jobs. Bravo!

    I know there’s a lot of fucked up shit happening out there, but the future is still bright.

     

  • Monday Morning Links

    It was a big sports weekend, to say the least.  The Nashville Predators moved a game closer to the Stanley Cup finals and now have a 3-2 series lead and could clinch the Campbell Conference tonight at home.  Meanwhile, I believe my predicted demise of the Penguins might have been premature after they beat the Senators by a touchdown yesterday and now have the same lead in the Wales Conference. We will know who makes it in the next few days, but after the weekend, I’m gonna reassess my earlier picks and just keep my mouth shut. Meanwhile, in Europe, the limeys and Spanish (as well as the Catalans) finished their domestic leagues. Real Madrid won La Liga for the first time in a while and Liverpool won their match, forcing Arsenhole to the Europa League for the first time in 20+ years.  Enjoy Thursday football, Gooners you smarmy dickheads. You certainly deserve it.

    I don’t even want to comment about basketball until the predetermined finals matchup materializes, which should take a few more days after the Celtics miraculously won a game last night. (Oh yeah, except to say that Popovich is a smug, douchey asshole. His “manslaughter” comment was among the dumbest things I heard this week.) So stay tuned for that.

    Anyway, I know what you all came here for, so let’s get on with…the links!

    Rep. Elijah Cummings has selective memory

    Top Dem on oversight committee wants every note the White House has on President Trump’s meeting with Russian diplomat. This is the same guy that called the committee’s request for Eric Holder to testify during the Fast and Furious investigation overreach. I guess Executive Privilege only applies to his Team. Or he’s a raving hypocrite who is still living off the goodwill he earned from the 60s. (TW: HuffPo retardation)

    Lengthy article wherein ultra-progressive author projects his family’s racism onto the rest of the nation. The comments, last time I looked, were pretty surprising. (TW: Salon super-retardation)

    Looks like somebody doesn’t understand that the words “fresh” and “fries” at Wendy’s rarely go together. Now she can compare them to the fries at the county lockup.

    Step right up out. And don’t come back. The Greatest Show On Earth performs its last gig. I remember seeing the show several times as a kid and enjoying everything. Even the clowns. But that’s all over now.

    The California Democrat Party’s opinion of the rest of us

    California Democrats embrace philosophy of “when they go low, we go high”. Well, if by “high”, they mean raising both hands and giving the President Camacho salute. Keep it classy, you clowns. That shit may sell in your bubble, but people in flyover country aren’t big fans of that idiocy.

    Can’t miss with this one.

    You want to talk about crazy.  Try spending 9 hours in a car with three toddlers who all go to the bathroom on different schedules and who can only stay seated for so long without going nuts.  I blame the airlines. If the government was in charge of them instead of the greedy corporations, the price of a flight from Houston to LAX wouldn’t be four times the price of a flight from DFW and I wouldn’t have had to drive all the way up there to drop my oldest off.  I also blame the greedy rental car corporations for not being cool with letting 18 year olds drive cars without additional fees not to mention the drop fees for leaving them at another place.  If those selfish capitalists were replaced by benevolent government overlords, I could have started drinking that 12 pack of St Arnold Summer Pils earlier in the day.  But its ok. I managed to catch up by the end of the evening and watch the Nashville Predators almost pull off a miracle. Alas, they’re tied 2-2 with the Mighty Ducks (don’t give me shit about the name, I’m a traditionalist). Meanwhile in the NBA, the Spurs enjoyed their best night of the Western Conference Finals to date…because they had the night off.

    Anyway, blah, blah, blah. You don’t want to read about me rambling. You want to get on with it so you can talk about Flappy McClutchyclaws or whatever its called. And other happenings in the world. So I’ll get on with…the links!

    Julian Assange

    Sweden have dropped the rape charges against Julian Assange. But the British said they will still enforce the arrest warrant for the Swedes…who are not after him for anything. Because that makes sense, right?

    Some crazy asshole decided to play Grand Theft Auto for real. Failed to hide behind a dumpster and hit Circle Square Circle Square Left down Right Up before cops got there, so he’s in custody.

    Talk about a shitty first day on the job.

    Was that wrong? Was I not supposed to do that?  Also, bonus points for the two-face. Should have been smuggling Proactiv instead of smack, blondie.

    Holy shit! A politician tells people with their hand out to kindly pound sand. Its a miracle. Hallelujah!

    Amanda Knox

    Foxy Knoxy to President Trump: I don’t owe you shit! Because America was just dying to know how she felt about things that the LA Times had to give her a platform. Either way, she’s still smokin’.

    Say what you want about the lyrics, but the guitar is fantastic in this song.

    Have a great day, friends!

    Well, I’m headed to Dallas today to drop my daughter off at the airport so she can head to California for the summer and teach kids how to swim, and artificially inseminate cattle.  I just gotta get on Amazon and order her a gross of turkey basters before I go.

    Read the links…

    Hoo-boy, did the Penguins ever shit the bed last night in the first period.  It was probably as painful to watch for Pens fans as that rendition of “O Canada” before the game started.  I swear that took 15 minutes. And half of it sounded like gibberish.  Anyway, I think the Senators are gonna win that series now. And I think Nashville will win the west.  Which will get us that dream matchup all hockey purists have been begging to see.

    OK, I’ve dithered enough.  There was some real shit that went down and we need to talk about it.  So I bring you…the links!

    Former FBI Director Robert Mueller named Special Counsel in probe into Russian election interference. Impeachment countdown clock starts…NOW NEVER!

    Students may soon have more options.

    In an absolutely stunning move, Charter School advocates have gotten control of the Los Angeles school board. Seriously, this is a huge story that’s gonna get overshadowed by the above one.

    Maybe he was just trying to add a little flavor to one of their pies.

    This seems legit.

    Another accusation

    You know, after another accusation, perhaps its time to roll out the death penalty.  I mean, come on.

    Get on the road!

    Have a great day, friends!

    Well the Spurs sure got their asses kicked.  Like K-I-C-K-E-D.  The only downside to that I can see is that these beatings will precipitate Popovich’s Hillary Lovefest media soundbites played incessantly on ESPN.  Because I can assure you they’re coming as soon as the Spurs are out of the playoffs (which will be in two more games). Also, go Nashville! The Predators took the series lead against the Anaheim Mighty Ducks…that team named after a freaking Disney movie. Also, the Firstros pounded the crap out of Miami and just keep chugging along with an 8 game lead. Keep it up, boys, and I’ll come see a game soon. Oh yeah, and the conspiracy theorists are already out in force after the Celtics and Lakers went 1-2 in the NBA draft lottery.  Good luck dealing with LaVar Ball, Lakers front office. That dude is cancer.

    That’s pretty much it for sports unless you want to talk soccer. But I think waiting until Monday for that would be appropriate. So that’s what I’m gonna do on my end.

    And with that…the links!

    Another day, another major news outlet publishing a third-hand anonymous account of something President Trump supposedly did as fact. And they’re cheering in the pressrooms that this will be the end of the man they all rooted against winning. Also, here is (finally) a SOURCED (Cabinet level!) story about the President openly offering to give the Russians intel. From 2016. And the outlet and their commenters cheered like trained seals, hypocrites that they are.

    American Airlines: Racists?

    I’m starting to think the airlines are all playing a big game of one-upmanship. How else to explain the latest retarded shit from American Airlines?

    City hires full-time code inspector. Results are predictable.

    Oh, that’s much better!

    Newspaper sues to open hearing in IRS Tea Party targeting case. I just hope an open hearing doesn’t result in the public finding out what happened. Because they might result in threats against the people that conspired to wholesale violate guaranteed constitutional rights, or something.

    Damn, looks like Denver schools have some serious money.

    Want to know where to start a career? Protip: don’t do it in Augusta, Georgia.

    Sometimes this is the only way to get your point across.

    Have a great day!

    Well the Penguins righted the ship last night (sort of). The Celtics closed out the Bullets (finally). And Sharapova won her first match at a major after her return from her doping suspension (um, ok).  But this is not the day to dwell on sports news.  Oh nosiree! There’s enough craziness out there in the rest of the world that needs a mention.

    So without further ado I give you…the links!

    “Botched robbery victim” Seth Rich

    Investigator believes he may have the tie in between Wikileaks and the DNC. Unfortunately, the local cops already said his death was a botched robbery attempt.  Which would definitely explain why they or the FBI have his laptop.

    If you want to know what equal protection under the law looks like, then look elsewhere. Because you sure as shit ain’t gonna find it by clicking through this link.

    The left-media suicide pact explained pretty succinctly.

    Louisiana House passes bill that would allow locals to decide whether or not to take down monuments. Leftists outraged.  Look, this is a contentious topic. And I’d like to see where you guys fall on it. So please discuss this in the comments. I have my own feelings on it. I’d like to see how they jibe with those of the the rest of you.

    Libertarian Space Explorer

    Derpa derpa derp. Da tum ta tidally derp. (I was at a loss how to properly introduce this steaming nugget.)

    And if you thought that was derpy….baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet. (TW; Salon doing what they do best: being retarded as shit by thinking they’re hammering libertarianism.)

    Sometimes the best solution is: do nothing.

    Man, what a busy weekend. But rejoice all you Canadian hockey fans! And you Liverpool fans (YNWA!) I don’t know how long the glow from either victory will last, but I’m feeling a lot more solid on the latter than I am on the former. And the same goes for the Spurs.  Blowing a 25 point lead against the Warriors in Game 1 is not a good sign. Neither is losing your last healthy star.

    Anyway, there’s a lot I’m sure you want to talk about, so let’s get on with it shall we?  Here are…the links!

    Lois Lerner

    Ever wondered how self-absorbed and full of shit IRS agents could really be?  Well wonder no more! Seriously, the gall on these two is beyond parodying.  (TW: You’re gonna want to bust some shit.)

    Baltimore on pace to out-murder Chicago this year. If only those two wild west-like towns could institute some serious gun control, all would be well.  Oh, wait…

    Victor Davis Hanson is back…and with a vengeance!

    Yeah, yeah. We all know Chelsea Clinton used diverted funds from Haiti relief orgs to fund her wedding. But I found somebody that came up with a worse way to fund theirs.

    Miss USA: Controversial

    Social Justice Warriors go apeshit when a black woman strays off the plantation on national TV. How dare she have an opinion of her own! She’s a woman. She’s supposed to be in lockstep with leftist retards.

    Man, I need a fucking vacation.

  • Friday Morning Links

    Sorry-ass Houston Rockets.  Although I’ve been a Celtics fan since forever, having grown up with no local pro team, I’m trying to develop a rooting interest in the hometown squad and last night certainly didn’t help that cause.  Anyway, they got absolutely freight-trained by a depleted Spurs team.  And now Popovich, the smug assclown with an incredible basketball knowledge, gets to face off against the Warriors again, where I can only hope he gets publicly humiliated. Either way, the Astros beat the Yankees last night, so something positive happened. You know, since everybody with a heart hates the Yankees.

    Other than that, we’re all just waiting on hockey to kick back off again tonight with a matchup tonight between those two hockey-crazy hotbeds of Anaheim and Nashville. That’s right, Canada. That’s how bad our domination of hockey has gotten.

    So having rambled on about sports  long enough, lets get to…the links!

    The incredible, edible avocado.

    Listen, dummies. If you’re too stupid to know how to cut something, then you don’t deserve to eat it.

    New York Times reports one person’s version of a dinner conversation, reported to them third-hand, as truth. Gives passing acknowledgement to first-person account of said dinner conversation that doesn’t fit their narrative.

    Turkey sliding further and further toward a fascist state. And they don’t even need Trumputin to do it!

    Want to get to the bottom of the Trump-Putin election interference (which likely doesn’t exist)? This guy has the solution for you! (TW: get a barf bag before reading it. Seriously.)

    The hospital in question.

    I’ve got a serious question: are there people out there that are naive enough to require this advice? Because its all pretty much common sense (except the forwarding service bit, that’s pretty awesome).  Anyway, here’s some news you can possibly use, or at least an opportunity for you to discuss more alternatives for those of you that read the links.

    Single Payer in action! But, you know, we’re the uncivilized barbarians that want people to literally die in the streets.
