I have existed since the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Donald Trump’s hat, I am all hats as I am no hat, and, therefore, I am a god.
Monday Night
“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,” the hat ha-ha’d. “I can barely breathe.”
“You’ve been laughing for twenty-five solid minutes,” the hair observed.
The hat started laughing again–loud, harsh and barking laughter shooting out of him until he began to conclusively cough. Once he was finally able to take a deep breath, the laughter started again.
“You’re going to hurt yourself,” the hair said.
“Iowa,” the hat managed through howls of laughter. He clenched himself into a tight ball, still shaking, and then vomited a handful of buttons and the long rough ribbon of a zipper.
Tuesday Morning
“Read the speech as written, Donald,” the hair said again.
The hat started to speak and coughed.
“I told you you’d hurt yourself. You blew your voice out, didn’t you?”
“Worth it,” the hat croaked.
“Mayor Pete is claiming victory in Iowa,” the hair said.
“Don’t call him ‘Mayor Pete,’” the hat said, his voice like a shovel thrust into dry dirt. “Too cutesy.”
“No one can pronounce “Buttigieg,’” the hair said.
“He designed it that way!’ the hat said, coughing again, rattling.
“You don’t have lungs,” the hair said, “Or a voice box. How are you coughing? Why is your voice rough?”
The hat hawked up a spongey clot of hat blood and spat it directly into the hair.
Tuesday Afternoon
“We’ll give Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” the hat rasped. “The white suit twats will stroke out.”
“He has cancer, so that’s perfect!” the hair said.
“We’ll seat him right beside Melania,” the hat whispered hoarsely.
The hair laughed and then stopped suddenly. “I think I just peed a little.”
“Break it down,” the hat whispered.
“Economy,” the hair began. “Employment rates, yadda, yadda, stock market, then the homeless vet who cleaned up his act.”
“Good. Let’s see the shits boo him,” the hair said in an almost normal voice.
“You sound better,” the hair said.
“Keep going.”
“Factories come back, NAFTA, China trade deals, then the Venezuelans.”
“That’ll pinch ‘em in their withered titties,” the hat said, setting off another round of coughing.
“And then… SPACE FORCE!” the hair crowed.
“SPACE FORCE!” the hat said and fell off the desk coughing.
Tuesday Night
“He did so well,” the hat said. He was wrapped in a thick stolen hotel towel and an untouched mug of tea steamed in front of him.
“It was a wild time,” the hair said. “Did I look good on TV?”
“Just great,” the hat said with little enthusiasm.
“I wish you could have been there,” the hair said. “The grimace on their faces. Pelosi tearing up the speech in a snit. It was your moment of triumph.”
“Re-election will be my moment of triumph,” the hat said, burrowing deeper into his towel. “Did you watch the reply?”
“OMG!” the hair said. “Potholes?!? They went with potholes?!?”
“And a low energy nobody governor. Either the only one willing to step into the meat grinder or the only one not crying and menstruating on their suffragette suits.”
“Well, not Nancy,” the hair said, laughing.
“I’m sure there’s a lithopedion in there some hard sobbing could jar loose.”
Is the Hat Rush Limbaugh? Inquiring minds want to know!
lithopedion – stone baby, is a rare phenomenon which occurs most commonly when a fetus dies during an abdominal pregnancy, is too large to be reabsorbed by the body, and calcifies on the outside.
I learnt a new word today!
Me too!
Same.
Fucking brilliant.
…and then I vomited.
*joins*
Right in the middle of lunch,
#MeToo
Nancy is a lithopedion carried to full term.
Nice
In honor of today, I just completed a PERFECT PHONE CALL with my cable company in which I received free HBO in exchange for not canceling my service…. a “quid quo pro”, as the Romans would say. If I had to describe my endeavors, they would invariably involve the terms “stable” and “genius”.
You MONSTER! How dare you continue Funding CNN!
So you essentially threatened to withhold funding until they agreed to your demands?
IMPEACH!
Good luck. I could essentially shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and still hold all of my titles of royalty.
You have a date with Madame Guillotin, your grace.
She sounds hot, but how sharp is she?
Very, but has been known to make cutting remarks.
Careful, she’ll make you lose your head.
You’re going to start grabbing pussies, arent you?
Start?
Pussy tends to grab me. By that I mean my cats are sometimes very obnoxious, particularly in the morning.
What’s the tally today? You in double digits, yet?
You’re Mr. Digby?
I assumed Tulsi was the only one still menstruating.
Womynstruating.
You’re the best!!
Thanks for the giggles
The monosyllables, like bullets.
The only thing that makes politics interesting these days.
Ah, Gov Gretchen. What a disaster. She should have just worn her blue dress and leaned into the camera.
I see why.
Needz moar low-cut.
I can believe this, though I’ve seen no coverage of it.
NPR had multiple glowing stories about the latinx womyxn who was going to give the D’s response en Espanxl. But this morning, there was no followup on it, no soundbites. I assumed she shat the bed.
Response
And she floated a gigantic tax increase to fix the roads and her own party told her to get lost. Now she selling $3b in bonds to cover it while telling anyone outside of metro Detroit to get fucked.
I thought Dominos was already fixing our roads?
That ad campaign fizzled out rather quickly.
Michigan would have bled them white.
Or NPR couldn’t find anyone to translate it.
Not even Lulu Garcia-Navarro?
I visit MI regularly. What they call potholes, I would call hazards to navigation.
Fighting positions.
Wul-ver-aye-ns!
Last night, for the first time in months, we turned off all the radios and did not listen to NPR at all. We watched reruns of The Office, and it was a far better experience.
I was on an airplane reading Mo’s novel and listening to some good music. Some of the people around me were watching it, but I had no fucks to give last night. I might listen to the speech later.
But probably not.
w00h00!!! I hope it’s keeping your interest!
It’s really good. As I said, not my usual, but your characters are excellent and the story is solid. Your plot twits have surprised me a few times already.
❤️❤️❤️
plot twits
Beautiful.
It actually works that way, too!
LOL Yes, it does!!!
going to give the D’s response en Espanxl
What country is it that they wish to
rulegovern?All of them, Scum.
All of them.
Try to take over the world, Pinky, try to take over the world.
But what if the chicken doesn’t want to wear the nylons?
I was a brilliant response, basically it boiled down to: Gov’t is too inept to even repair pot holes, you’re more likely to get it done by a 13 year old.
It was, not I was.
FINALLY, the true nature of the Hat is revealed. I fucking knew he was the brains behind the mission.
Also, it sets the tone for some great follow-on adventures.
“And a low energy nobody governor. Either the only one willing to step into the meat grinder or the only one not crying and menstruating on their suffragette suits.”
Boom.
That was a quote from an earlier episode.
So?
It’s still a tremendous line.
Nono, I meant the reference to The Hat’s trans-temporal nature.
And the Lord said “Let there be Hat”, and there was Hat.
I think you have to back up a few verses there:
You expect me to remember everything?!?
Thanks, though.
Hat is my favorite character in the H&H Universe.
I am an unrepentant Hatist, I guess.
“Potholes?!? They went with potholes?!?”
Potholes? Is that some sort of infrastructure hogwash?
The official Democrat response was the Michigan governor telling a story about a little boy fixing potholes on his own because of funding issues.
And then he got whacked by a bunch of overpaid pubsec union goons for horning in on their territory. I bet she left that part out.
Just like the chiropractors did with Homer and his garbage can.
Forget it, Homer – it’s Chirotown.
I thought pothole repair had been outsourced to Domino’s Pizza?
Trump invented potholes and spread them with his tax cuts.
WTF do local potholes have to do with the Feds?
(I know the answer, of course)
I sure would enjoy a Governor ask his/her constituents: “Why the fuck are we laundering money through Washington, anyway?”
The high tax states like California always complain about sending more money to DC than they get back. Gee, maybe they should embrace federalism rather than trying to concentrate everything in DC>
I’m not sure that pols can spell ‘subsidiarity’ or would know it if it bit them on the ass.
Watching the parade on the teevee in my warm house in my recliner with food and drink and—most importantly—a nearby restroom. One reason I didn’t go.
Dont humble brag with your fancy indoor plumbing and winning football team.
We just about went without fancy indoor plumbing last winter. Lemme enjoy it while it lasts!
Winning football teams are a myth, like fiscally conservative Republicans and socially permissive Democrats.
And libertarian women.
Hey! I am a fiscally conservative republican.
Right… and Mojeaux is a libertarian woman.
Dude, you’re a towel!
“Bullying people on Twitter doesn’t fix bridges, it burns them,” she said.

“No attack ever fed a hungry child”
— Bill Clinton, 1996 presidential debate
I don’t know about that. Plenty of attacks on wildlife fed plenty of hungry children. And then there were those families funded by plundering.
I have existed since the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night.
I believe!
Pelosi tearing up the speech in a snit.
I hope that wasn’t the official copy delivered to the House.
I was wondering that myself.
I had Brian Kilmeade on the radio in the truck earlier, and that very subject came up briefly.
From the articles I’ve read, it was a personal copy.
I’m just picturing the Trump presidential library now. All gaudy marble and gold leaf, with an exhibit showing a torn up copy of the SOTU speech.
They’ll sell torn-up reproductions in the gift shop.
Zing!
“I was not sure she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution,”
– Vice President Mike Pence
Trump has even managed to corrupt a nice neocon like Pence.
“It was such a dirty speech,” she told an ABC News reporter.
Meaning it completely destroyed Team Blue on several levels.
I don’t understand what about it would be “dirty”, unless this is some archaic use of the word I’m not familiar with.
Maybe she was daydreaming dirty things while he was talking?
A Merry Acquittal Day to us all.
Is the voting done? Can we ignore this farce again?
Until the next go around.

Frank Clark is wearing Derrick Thomas’s jersey. ❤️❤️❤️
DT was my favorite player during Marty-ball era.
He is fondly remembered around these parts. His death was a very sad day for us all.
Stationed at Leavenworth, I was out driving around in that same ice storm up by the airport when they announced his death on KCFX.
He was speeding on ice. ? He knew better. ?
As a Giants fan, the highest praise I can give a defensive player is comparing them to Lawrence Taylor. There are very few players I can say that about. Derrick Thomas was the closest I ever saw to LT.
Speaking of useless papers, I want to see Trump or McConnell make a big show of collecting all the copies of the Articles of Impeachment and running them through a shredder and dumping it in a recycling bin.
dumping it in a recycling bin.
Burn barrel and light it up!
the uncontrolled emissions!
Why do you hate Gaia ?
Or use them to light cigars and snort coke. That’s what McAfee would do.

Ahhh. The wife is out shopping and having lunch with the neighbor. I’ve actually got several hours to myself. Think I’ll go get new tires put on the Tahoe.
What? Don’t run chores. Live the dream. Masturbate on the roof.
I live a full life. I had a teriyaki rice bowl for lunch, now I’m getting tires changed, then I’m going to shop for dinner and hopefully have time for a beer.
How many times can he do that? He’s bordering on carpal tunnel as it is.
How much can you really know about yourself if you never jizzed in your rain gutter?
I thought an ass crack WAS a rain gutter!
I thought an ass crack WAS a rain gutter!
And this is why you can’t be within 1000 feet of a public school.
That’s why they call him Rain Man?
How else can you be sure that it is YOUR rain gutter?
I don’t go on roofs anymore. I’ll spank it the old fashioned way in the shower.
That’s an excellent question. I’ll have to ponder it.

How to Buy a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Diesel for Just $21,000 Right Now
If you need a 4×2 tow rig this seems like quite a buy.
I loved my 2500 Cummins, but Im happy to see they’re putting them in 1/2 ton now
I think Nissan has a diesel option in the Titan, too
But it’s not rational to live in California.
OMG It WAS the Constituion! LOL

A university gift shop display hung ornaments of African American history-makers from the branches of fake trees, days before the start of Black History Month. Nobody thought anything of it until a black graduate student pointed out that it looked like they’d been lynched.
The backlash from black students at Michigan State University was swift. Many said it’s only the latest example of the racial bias they encounter on the campus, where just under 7% of the student body is black.
Krystal Rose Davis-Dunn, a graduate student at Michigan State, first spotted the display last week in the gift shop at the university’s performing arts center where she’d attended a jazz concert.
She told CNN she immediately noticed ornaments of black figures like Michelle Obama, Harriet Tubman and Prince, among others, hung from the branches of several small fake trees. Seeing the figures positioned in that way evoked a visceral response in her, Davis-Dunn said.
She checked with her friends to make sure she wasn’t “hypersensitive,” she said, but it enraged them, too.
——-
The incident is the latest in a string of racial insensitivities on Michigan State University’s campus in the 2019-2020 school year.
It does not appear from the photo that they have hangman’s nooses around their necks, but it’s hard to say for certain. What sort of “ornaments” are they? Christmas tree ornaments?
Full-body dolls of black folk dangling from tree branches? My reaction is “C’mon. What were you thinking?”
Now, “visceral response”? “Enraged”? Grow up, already.
Strange Fruit?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mO92ll_q0k
I’m a bit mixed on this. I can see where it’s problematic but yes I think this is an overreaction to this. Note to young lady, your friends may not be the best people to ask if you’re overreacting as they have been through the same propaganda sessions.
Agreed. Also, it’s not “national news headline”-worthy except for a MSM that wishes to stir up racial discord.
For me it’s sort of like when someone refers to a black person as a “boy”, e.g., “Your boy Kyrie Irving just puts up meaningless stats”, or, “Damn, boy, you tore that pizza up!” Because there are a few people who will take offense because they tend to look for things to be offended by, you might feel a touch antsy about saying it, but it’s not offensive in and of itself. It’s like if you’re doing a potluck barbecue lunch at work and a black coworker asks you what you brought, and you happened to bring a watermelon.
IIRC, there were also ornaments of wypio on the trees.
I can’t imagine the poverty of spirit required to spend every waking minute of one’s life looking for the next thing at which to take offense.
I’m betting she is a mediocre intellect, at best. This is her defense mechanism, how she reconciles the entitlement from a childhood of participation trophies with the emerging (if repressed) awareness that she ain’t nothing special and never will be.
“I’m betting she is a mediocre intellect, at best”
No betting required. It said “Michigan State” right there in the article.
It was a much better school before it became a sports franchise.
It’s still a lovely campus, but a lot of departments and colleges have tanked pretty badly. Rather like their sports franchise.
Well it must have been a horrific scene if nobody realized they ought to be insulted until one diversity studies doctoral candidate suddenly decided on the ideal thesis.
Just under 7% of the university’s student body is black, according to a 2019 Michigan State enrollment report. But students at the university said the gift shop display is just one example of the racial bias, intentional or otherwise, that they face on campus.
John Ray told CNN affiliate WILX that black students feel unsafe at Michigan State.
“Students of color here feel unwelcome,” he said. “I’m just going to say it.”
Davis-Dunn echoed his sentiment.
“That display was just a physical representation of the institutionalized racism within the university,” she said. “There are people in this university that don’t want me here, that do not welcome me and are not able to meet my needs as a woman of color.”
Que? I dread to contemplate precisely what these “needs” might be.
“not able to meet my needs as a woman of color”

Nadless, you impotent cunte.
While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) stated it is “likely” that former National Security Adviser John Bolton will be subpoenaed by the House.
Nadler said, “I think it’s likely, yes.”
He also stated, “I think when you have a lawless president, you have to bring that to the fore. You have to spotlight that. You have to protect the Constitution, whatever the political consequences.” And that “as more and more lawlessness comes out, I presume the public will understand that.”
“We’re not done making fools of ourselves!” vows impotent House member.
impotent House member
Seems likely.
Verging on redundant.
Keep fucking that chicken, Nadler.
What an idiot. They have an opportunity to drop the whole thing, and let it recede into the rearview mirror (along with the political benefits it gives Trump), but noooo.
“THIS time, we’ll finally nail him!”
How many more inquries, subpoenas, or investigations until the Dems call on the military to remove Trump?
Is the hat dying?
Did you not read the intro?
“I shall exist until the last star falls from the night“
Epstein said that too.
Interesting take on Pelosi and ripping up the delivered SOTU…when President Trump handed her and Pence the document is that the official transmittal of the Constitutional requirement?
If so, I see it floating around that she desteoyed an official record and violated 18 US code 2071
Not that it matters because no one will do anything about it…still an interesting note to ponder.
Supposedly, that was her personal copy.
If I was Trump, I would ask her for the one she ripped up. Tell her I want it to display in my Presidential library.
Alongside the Articles of Impeachment, also ripped in half.
Ask Nancy to tear those up for him, too?
Romeny: I don’t want to be a senator anymore.
On the floor of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday afternoon, Utah Senator Mitt Romney announced he would vote to convict President Trump on the charge of abuse of power, but not on the charge of obstruction of Congress.
During a sometimes emotional speech, Romney laid out his reasoning for his decision.
Senator Mitt Romney was one of only two Republicans who voted with Democrats in favor of calling new witnesses in the impeachment trial. The other, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, has already announced her intention to vote to acquit.
Well, good luck in your future endeavors, you carpetbagging pos.
So, if he had enough to vote to convict, what did he want more witnesses for?
I stuck up for him when he was running against Obama. I was wrong. I feel shame now.
Same
I wonder if the Repubs would introduce and pass a motion that says, not only is Trump not guilty, he is fully exonerated?
Probably not. There’s enough squishes who want to “censure” him that I doubt it would pass.
Is a Mormon running in Utah really carpetbagging? Or just returning to the promised land.
I wonder how hard or easy it would be to strip him of his committee assignments. That’s where the real power is, for the most part.
Just sideline the worthless POS.
“I don’t want to be a Senator no more!” a tearful Mitt wailed as he ran from the chamber. “Trump has made it no fun! No fun at all!” The grown-ass 72-year-old grandfather could not be reached afterward for comment due to clutching his binkie.
You know it has to grind his gears no end that he lost to an eminently beatable Obama, and Trump beat the nearly inevitable Hillary.
I take pleasure from imagining how it must eat at him, constantly.
When you run a presidential campaign like a doormat, everyone’s going to walk all over you.
I think he’s made his peace about being Prezicucked by Obama. But this Trump guy offends him on a much deeper level than merely being President: Trump lowers the tone. Romney’s object to Trump is a purely aesthetic one.
Even if Tugg or Tagg or Timber or Trample eventually run and win, what worth the office now?
Like all NeverTrumpers, he really has no strong objection on policy. Its all shallow bullshit like aesthetics, combined with the natural immune reaction of a ruling class when some nouveau parvenu crashes the party. It all boils down to “Not our sort, rally. Wouldn’t you agree, Muffy?”
“Its all shallow bullshit like aesthetics”
Trump is Al Czervik
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvHk4wLtQnE
Like, that scene covers it. Hes loud, obnoxiously dressed, and hes slipping the waitress a 20 while the “right sort” look over mortified by his behavior.
UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!
Icky verminous subhuman filth!
Romney is a legacy Rockefeller Republican, a Mormon, an honorary Brahman Wasp in Massachusetts, and a complete cuck – Trump really represents every uppity redneck that people like Romney hate more than anything.
+47%
I’ve started listening to the Dave Rubin podcast, and he has Michael Malice on in the most recent one. He gives a few variations on the theme that it isn’t about party versus party so much as establishment versus outsiders, and the impeachment proceedings continue to offer example after example of that.
That’s mostly what it is. But it is also about someone leaving the plantation.
And really they created Trump themselves by running as a sort of anti-war antidote to the GOP in 2008 and then kowtowing to the deep state war machine as soon as they took office. And to deflect criticism on that they started drumming up the phony-ass “woke” bullshit which won’t work against a guy whose history has more diversity cred than most of the party he abandoned.
Diversity? Trump is notoriously anti-spring football.
What’s more, if they had just gone after Trump as they did W – IOW, a normal opposition to a president – Trump likely would be in much worse shape right now than he is. By acting like hysterical children for three solid years, they’ve driven a lot of people who were lukewarm at best on Trump into being his supporters.
Or they could have simply cut deals with him. It is what he does and wants to do. For example, I’m sure he would have passed some kind of gun control. The most important thing to him is his ego.
So naturally rather than deal with him they attacked his ego.
This is the biggest whiff of all. Trump is more than willing to shred the 2A and all it would take would be Dem leadership extending the most meager of olive branches. They can’t even do that. These politicians who claim that the NRA is basically killing brown children in the street because of the 2A can’t even fake civility with Trump long enough to get exactly what they claim to want.
Interesting, but probably totally not related at all…..
Romney is the only Republican with someone on the board of Burisma.
It’s like he’s from another planet.

The Mormon religion is comparatively weird, so they try to blend in too much in other aspects of their lives.
How is any weirder than the others?
The undies.
A real ‘One True Religion’ would make underwear optional, if not outright discouraged.
Religous clothing is quite common, and in this case, isn’t even worn where it’s visible to other people.
“A real ‘One True Religion’ would make underwear optional, if not outright discouraged.”
Well there’s always Thelema, if that’s your hot button issue.
No alcohol, caffeine. The ban on sex before marriage is taken seriously. The mission work that sends them overseas to proselytize. All these things set them apart.
How are those things weirder than Lent, Ramadan, no working on the sabbath, no eating Pork, taking communion, baptism, faith healing, etc.
Yep… all cultures have weird things in them. Chinese New Year usually screws over most first time Kickstarters doing manufacturing in China. The fact that butter comes in different shapes depending on where in the country you are.
All of these things are kind of weird, too. I would probably argue that devout Muslims or orthodox Jews are further away from the mainstream than Mormons. But Mormons are not visible minorities: they have more opportunities to blend in.
To their credit, our Glibs Mormons seem to have no difficulty letting their freak-flags fly.
I’ve met quite a few Mormons in real life, I held this opinion years before this site was even a thing. Also, a couple of my friends spent several years living in Mormon families when they attended high school.
Yeah, sure.
During a closed-door caucus meeting, Pelosi expanded on why she tore up the president’s Tuesday speech at the conclusion of his remarks.
“He shredded the truth so I shredded his speech,” she told lawmakers, declaring that President Trump’s address was “a manifesto of mistruths.”
“You are supposed to talk about the State of the Union, not the State of your alleged mind,” she said to cheers and a standing ovation from her colleagues.
Why close the door, if you’re going broadcast what happened at the meeting?
You can tell this was their prefab narrative, because this was the rare Trump speech that really would pass a fact check. Notice the lack of articles on how he exaggerated or lied? That’s your tell, right there.
She mouthed “not true” to trump saying California had sanctuary cities.
Actually, Breitbart of all places called him on an exaggeration of the number of people that have gotten off food stamps. It was about 6 million since he assumed office and 7 million since he won or something. But I do think most claims would stand a fair test. If not Team Blue is fair to challenge them. Interesting that they aren’t other than calling him a liar with justifying the claim.
Even the NY Times reported very few errors – “stock market up 70% – false, it was 60%”
I remember back in the 80s the House Democrats would have a media event declaring Reagan’s budgets dead on arrival.
On the day it was released, having never seen it.
OT: I’m getting ready to injure myself on my desk. A DB server had an issue today, checking the system logs, it was because the drive the transaction logs were supposed to be on wasn’t there. Not full, not nearing full, the drive wasn’t mapped. Tracked down the issue to a SAN problem. Reach out to someone to check to see if they could recover the drive, and their response was, “That looks like a DB issue, have the DBA’s confirmed it’s configured correctly?” Cut to a couple hours later, and I’m getting pinged for another ticket for the same system, but different alerts. They were very certain that this second issue was completely unrelated to the DB being down. The alerts Data access issues, and DB errors.
On the bright side, the drive was able to be recovered from the SAN, and the services started up without an issue.
Fire the SAN admin who said that. From a cannon.
“This drive is not mapped.”
“Not my job.”
“Yes it is, drives and data storage is all you do.”
*”This drive is not mapped and we can’t remap it”
Sorry, typed too quickly.
I do not have that authority. I’m not even involved in the hiring process, I’ve just been tapped for mentoring some young minds, and one I would put into that cannon with the SAN admin.
“All you motherfuckers need Nephilium!”
When you say it like that, it sounds so dirty!
I’m not that full of myself… I can be replaced. But FFS, when the SAN drive is gone, that’s not a DBA or an application issue. And to argue that alerts about DB access during the time the DB server was down is unrelated…
I ssee three main places to check – OS, SAN or network. Since it was only one drive, the chances of it being the network connecting the machine to the SAN is nil. I’ll have to assume someone had or was planning to check on the OS. So, all Mister “not my job when it is” needed to do was look into the issue from his end.
Sadly, I’ve also run into that type too often. Typically they spend more effort avoiding work than the work takes to perform.

As a lefty friend once said to me, indignantly trashing the “wrong” result of the Brexit referendum and attempting to make the case for a second one, “yeah well, democracy means you can change your mind!”
“yeah well, democracy means you can change your mind!”
You mean, like the Brits changed their mind about being in the EU?
This is how I picture her.

On the one hand, TV gets money. OTOH< the money is being drained from people who think it's a good idea to advertise on TV. Kind of a wash really.
So what are the perpetually outraged outraged about in this instance?
This always reminds me of my mother. I tried and tried to make her happy when I was a child and it wasn’t until I was maybe 12 that I realized that she didn’t complain because I did something poorly, she complained because she loved to complain.
These are toxic people who have made a choice to be unhappy and unhappy they will remain. The best thing is to just ignore them. And, after enough time passes, put them into a crooked rest home.
