Friday Afternoon Kararinku
About The Author
Brett L
Brett set out to find America, the real America, the America of strip malls and serial killers, of butthole waxing and kelp smoothies, of cocaine and maggots.
He sought it in the most American part of America—Florida: swamp gas and fever dreams, where love arrives on a rickety boat and leaves when it doesn't have the money for its fourth abortion.
Oh, where has Brett gone?
He’s drinking at the neck of America’s wang, chewing its foreskin and working its shaft.
Brett is becoming legend.
Brett can never die. Brett can never die.
Brett is America, facedown in his own patriotic puke: the red his blood, the white his stomach lining, and the cold, cold blue his gas station slushie, spiked with coconut rum and tetracycline.
“BREAKING NEWS: Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is charged with the murder and manslaughter of George Floyd after he knelt on his neck for eight minutes in video which has sparked violent protests nationwide”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8370537/Minneapolis-police-officer-Derek-Chavin-taken-custody.html
Somebody else watched that video and noticed the same shit I did but couldn’t articulate. When cops usually kill people they are yelling and fired up – these guys were absolutely silent and emotionless. They were also very purposeful – they knelt on the guy until he stopped breathing, and stayed on him another 4 minutes to make sure he was dead for absolutely no legitimate reason.
So, put on your They Live glasses and read Floyd Murder a Staged Event?
I’d still believe the screwed up training narrative.
Psychopaths.
Is his wife gonna go on TV to say what a great guy he is?
I feel for the kids but for the love of God….that was nuts. When will cops learn?
“When will cops learn?”
They’ve already learned, that they can keep getting away with this.
‘Protesters’ will burn down their own neighborhoods.
Republicans will say ‘LAW AND ORDER!’.
Democrats will say ‘ALL ABOUT RACE!’.
And.nothing.else.happened.
^^^This.
A friend of mine was strangled to death in college. During the trial the killer tried to claim it was a mistake. The prosecutor set a timer to 4 minutes, the amount of time it takes to kill someone by strangulation despite what you see in the movies. He sat silently and let the timer run down, and asked if it was an accident after 4 minutes. The video reminded me of this.
Yep. Had the same impression when I first watched it. It looks deliberate. It looks like murder.
Staged event, nah. But somebody posted a comment earlier that the cop and the victim worked at the same club for a while, and might have known each other. Makes you wonder if the cop had a personal grudge against this guy. Or maybe he just felt like killing somebody, and this was an opportunity.
After viewing the video can see what I think was the exact moment he decides to kill the man. It was not about race, it was about “How dare these plebes question me? I can do whatever I want in this circumstance and I will prove it to those dirty bystanders by killing this thing under my knee.” At that moment the man under arrest became nothing more than a prop for this murderer.
I can see that fucker at home punching the walls in total incomprehension yelling, “Why am I being singled out? I just killed a “civilian”, like I have done in the past. After all I didn’t insult a union rep. Why me!?” He can never understand the righteous fury of an enraged citizenry.
“However, a preliminary autopsy did not find evidence of ‘traumatic asphyxia or strangulation’ and found Floyd may have died from being restrained as well as from underlying health conditions.”
Officers made it home safely. Another Coronavirus death!
“get my ass chewed on” somebody has a relaxed HR department.
Someone screwed up and hired a HM department.

When I was the auditor on the LNG plant build, guys would talk about “getting [their] ass ate out” by a boss for messing something up. It took me at least six months to stop visualizing a sex act between the two men when I heard that. The first couple times I was like “damn, the construction trade has really embraced analingus in ways I did not expect.”

That is long overdue.
Now do the UN as a whole.
Common sense economic recovery solution. Kick all the tinpot scum out of the UN building, suspend their budget and use it to turn the UN building into a bar and casino. WIN!
I wonder if 2020 is the year everyone over played their card. WHO, politicians with the pandemic, cops killing people for stupid reasons…..
As a result, unfortunately that means few will believe the election results.
The comments. Why would anyone bother to defend the WHO/UN?
Let me put things into certain perspective.
Back in the 80s my world history teacher in high school asked if the UN did more harm or good in the world.
Even by that time the UN was losing the plot.
Since then they’ve had tin pot dictators and shit hole countries with atrocious human rights records sit on human rights councils.
This is what they defend because Trump.
They think there’s a hierarchy in which the USA is just one member of a larger order, the UN. That’s why Obama secretly wants to be UN Secretary—in his mind, that’s King if the World.
King Clown of the Bozos.
I’ll defend them, in a limited fashion. Defang then, defund them, and keep them around as a skinsuit.
Neither one is going away and pulling out allows others to take further control (the problem all along) and use them as a cudgel against us. As bad as the UN is, it would be 1000x without the US occasionally vetoing the worst of it. See what happened to the Korean War when the USSR decided not to play.
End tax free and visa free status for UN and other international orgs workers. Cut the staff and cut the budgets down to an empty assembly chamber where a handful of diplomats give speeches to cameras that are turned off.
But Youtube, Twitter and every other SJW scold in the US will continue to remove messages that contradict the WHO, right? With the sole exception of the WHO position on wearing face masks: WHO says face masks are unnecessary for healthy people.
It’s ok. The idiots have spun it as ‘asymptomatic people should still wear them because respect for others’.
The crazy governor still putting covid patients into nursing homes? Keep it going and you’ll eventually catch up with the East Coast blue states.
In topical Hitler news, his alligator died this week at the Moscow zoo:

Damn thing was 84 years old. I had no idea they could make it that long.
Especially to survive through the Purges of Stalin…
I suspect they can live longer than that. The alligator snapping turtle can live…uh…I know 100 years…maybe longer.
*pulls up DDG*
Yep, at least 100 years. Holy shit, who would keep one as a pet? Those fuckers get up to several hundred pounds.

Its like handing out condoms at a gang bang.

So it’s illegal to open a shop in Minneapolis but not to loot one. Got it. Thanks, mayor!
It was funny a couple days ago. Looters coming out of Target with several big TVs on a cart. Outside were more looters trying to pull some of the TVs off the cart.
Saw a looter on TV outside of Minnehaha Liquor carrying a case of Jack Daniels with a case of Gentleman Jack on top. Too heavy to run with but he was going somewhere. A man after my own tastes, at least in the past.

White rioters don’t get to hide behind black protesters whose communities they just vandalized. Every video I’ve seen has been at least 50% white kids destroying stores and stealing. Plus, I don’t think “Unicorn Riot” is well known in the black community.
Every video I’ve seen has been at least 50% white kids destroying stores and stealing
Antifa shitbags, I’m certain.
It doesn’t take much to realize that you can go down there and face no consequence (at least the last two nights) so it will only grow unless some type of order is established.
I think calling the rioters/looters protestors does a disservice to the actual protestors. They are not one monolithic group.
100%
I think it’s important to draw a distinction between non-looting protesters, and opportunistic looters who use the protests as cover to loot. You get those vermin after any unrest or disaster.
Fuck.
He needs some Rooftop Koreans. Hell, Rooftop people of any race.
Are any Hmong getting fucked with or are they going deer rifle on any rioters?
Over time the Asians on University Ave in St Paul have been displaced by Somalis. Still a couple Asian groceries left, I think, but mostly Somali stores and the few American stores (now burned up). The new soccer arena is in that neighborhood, probably not a good advertisement. Light rail runs down University to the capitol.
Will Chauvin’s arrest sate the mob or does it show blood in the water? Or do they just want to loot and burn?
The window to sate them is past. I suspect 2-3 more nights before they are either bored with it (and at home playing with their new toys they stole) or the Guard puts an end to it.
Loot and burn would be my guess. Simmering (stoked) racial tensions, the usual looting urges and quarantine seem like a recipe looking for a spark to just let loose. I wouldn’t expect the mob to stop now.
I dont know about up there, but when we had riots in 2001 after cops shot & killed a black kid, most of the people they caught and arrested weren’t from the area. They drove down from places like Dayton and Columbus and up from Lexington and Louisville. The promise of some free kicks and an unattended liquor is enough enticement to get people motivated, I suppose.
(WIKI says that was 63 people, but I cant find a working link to cite)
3rd degree murder doesn’t satiate me and I don’t even live there
So a public lynching?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yL89sTITZQ
Yes. What happened was akin to a lynching
According to the criminal complaint, the cop kept his knee on his neck for over eight minutes and he was unresponsive in the last two minutes. Do you honestly believe 3rd degree murder is appropriate?
Horrible as that video is what I honestly believe is that rushing to judgment is wrong even if the perp is a cop. If in fact the autopsy showed that Mr. Floyd was not strangled or asphyxiated, but died from undeerlying issues exacerbated by the police misconduct then 3rd degree murder is entirely appropriate, and in fact the highest possible charge:
Whoever, without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life, is guilty of murder in the third degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 25 years.
2nd degree murder requires that the killing be intentional, 1st that it be premeditated. So yeah, be angry about it, be furious when QI gets a cop off where an ordinary person would be convicted, but do not join the insane chorus that insists on a sacrifice when the scum of the earth riot. This was at worst 3rd degree murder, more likely some level of manslaughter.
If the autopsy wasn’t fixed to protect the popo. I hope the family gets an independent examination performed by a recognized expert. I will accept the 2d examination since the first smells of coverup.
Remember that a “short drop” hanging kills by constricting the flow of blood to the brain- just like kneeling on a neck can.
Agree. Shit’s going to hit the fan for a while there.
Or do they just want to loot and burn?
yes
They’ll tire out. There is only so many things that will burn.
“All over New York City, people have placed Reopen New York signs in their windows in a show of support for the coalition of 1,000 small businesses that are flouting the lockdown order and risking having their licenses revoked.

I wonder what NYPD’s “ignore this business” rate is? $5k?
Cuomo is beyond retarded.
Another one who has to face justice for what he’s done.
You would think he’d say, ‘you know, I kinda fucked up sending Covid patients into homes. Maybe I won’t cause more misery by being an extra fucken dick.’
…and gun shops not included until after that.
I would like to point out the Detroit riots of 1967 were due to police behavior. Worked out well for them.
And what set off the Troubles in Northern Ireland was rioting over cop behavior.

That’s just one of those “let’s post a story about some douchebag’s family so we have an excuse to post a picture and get him/her harassed” things the modern media likes to do. This is in no way a relevant story.
I didn’t even bother reading it. I just loved the inanity of the headline.
I thought it was a bee link, to be honest.
See my reply above. It is to say how dare he stop or respond to a call of counterfeit monies when his wife bounced a check!

Not grounds for murder, o’course. He also was a known rapper of some note in TX
Even if Flyod had committed murder, the police should not be on site executioners. The guy was handcuffed. Put him in the cruiser and e gets his day in court.
Yep, gonna be long hot summer in the TC.
That’s something that bothers me – the police we’re called because he was accused of forgery? Or was there some other pretext?
He apparently paid with a counterfeit $20 bill.
Isn’t Mipple City one of those places that isn’t enforcing Federal law?
What I read is that he tried to use a counterfeit $20, was turned away, then came back and used it again with another cashier who took it. Then somebody went out from the store and asked him to give the stuff he bought back, which he refused to do, so they called the police.
Capital offense
When the Australian lady was shot by the Somali cop in Minneapolis, there were small murmurings and some conflicting reports, but no real resolution.
The victim in that case (the lady) was completely innocent, but no reforms were made. So now we have a case where we can bring race into it and sell clicks!! Woot! Turn on the outrage and keep focusing on race, not police unions !
Wasn’t he convicted of murder?
Yes, he was
True, also true that the appropriate response to rioters is to shoot a few dead to disperse the rest, with a few being defined as the smallest number needed to end the riot. One probably suffices if you do it at the beginning. In case it isn’t clear I really hate rioters, and the minute your protest starts destroying private property and attacking private citizens it stops being a protest and becomes a riot. Sing, scream and chant as much as you want, hell burn the freaking cop station to the ground, but so much as slap one private citizen or smash one window and I’m all in on doing whatever is needed to stop the riot before it gets out of hand.
We are mostly well enough off that we can avoid being in the area when a riot happens so it becomes academic. But what a riot is is true Hobessian anarchy. Angry people justifying brutality toward anyone in their way because they are angry at some other party. And maybe I am not a TRUE libertarian, but liberty without the base level of order needed to inhibit random violence is not liberty at all. Riots are the worst state of humanity.
But riots and plagues are good if they get rid of bad orange man, right? I mean there has to be exceptions.
How the fuck did I type so many years without a mechanical keyboard? My g-d. This is so beautiful.
Did you get a modern design or one of the retro typewriter style ones?
What were you using before, and what now?
I was using the regular old scissor switch keyboard that I’d used for years. Now using a Ducky One 2 with Cherry MX Brown switches.
Yep. Good luck typing on a membrane keyboard going forward.
They are noice. I have one but I am not currently using it because it’s missing F14-F19 which I use very frequently.
*considers pulling it out of storage*
Missing the key caps, the switches, or just not on the layout of the keyboard?
Missing as in not present. It’s a Das keyboard “designed for Mac” but I am pretty sure they didn’t put too much effort into simulating an actual Mac keyboard. I can reassign those functions to other F keys but it’s annoying.
What do the F14-F19 keys do? I’ve never had a keyboard with them.
Launch a fighter off a carrier.
There’s no button for landing again, sadly.
No one knows what the f 19 does, it was the original designation for the stealth fighter when it was in development but the released drawings looked nothing like the f 117 . Maybe it is out there carrying on the secret war against the greys! Maybe everything we complain about as insanity by the government is really cover for the war against the greys!
Nothing standard. For me they are a convenient place to assign actions or macros. I have one that toggles the widget bar, one that does lookups/previews on the word or URL under the cursor, et al.
F1 to F12 are mostly assigned by default to media functions, volume, brightness, etc.
Pretty sure you can remap keyboards to assign those to other keys, maybe your numeric keypad if you don’t use that.
WTF uses all those function keys, btw?
I have an old AS400 program I need to access occasionally that uses them.
(it’s just mapped in PCS software that f13-f23 are shift+f1-f12)
One of the small projects I have on my list for this summer is to build an Ergodox
What could possibly go wrong?
The creation of these units was a mistake, being compounded by changing their mission.
Anyway what worries me about cop misbehavior is that it will lead to the federalization of the cops. We can trust the Deep State with total control of the local police, right?
And it’s not like Hitler came to power because his predecessor has federalized the Prussian State Police which allowed him to control Germany’s largest police force when he became chancellor, oh wait.
Or how the Czech coup of 1948 occurred because the Commies controlled the Police.
FBI, ATF, DEA, BP, … That ship has sailed.
‘member when the Department of Education SWAT team raided someone’s house?
I ‘member.
Damn your nimble fingers!
“Opposition to the Department of Education mainly stems from conservatives, who see the department as an undermining of states rights, and libertarians who believe it results in a state-imposed leveling towards the bottom and low value for taxpayers’ money.[9]”
It’s the fault of libertarians
I sometimes get giddy with how much power we wield.
It’s Weld. How much power we Weld.
Dept of Education has sworn, gun toting agents. Maybe all of these will be consolidated into one, lean, mean, oppressive machine?
“BP”
Wait.. what’d I do?
I don’t that’s likely to happen. People who know what’s what know that local law enforcement is generally preferable to federal and the various governors, mayors, etc. don’t want to give up the power they derive from controlling their more localized police forces.
Just after the Boston Marathon bombing, there was a rumor that the suspect was in custody (he wasn’t) and was going to be brought to the courthouse. So reporters were all over the place.
I noticed that one of the uniformed cops had a badge that said “Federal Police.”
I couldn’t believe my eyes. Then they did that “lockdown” and door to door search for the Bro hiding in the boat.
Nobody minded because the bad guys were caught. But I had a bad feeling about it.
The fucking GSA security guards have police in big lettering on their vehicles. The real police have unmarked or nearly unmarked vehicles (which is a separate problem).
Y’all provide the links while I get my ass chewed on for the afternoon.

NH Supreme Court overturns precedent which keeps police misconduct secret
The New Hampshire Supreme Court on Friday threw out a 27-year-old legal precedent that has been used to deny public access to personnel files of police and other public employees.
The court’s action came down Friday in two cases brought by newspapers and the ACLU seeking access to records involving high-profile cases of police misconduct in Salem and Portsmouth.
The Supreme Court sent both cases back to the trial court and told the judge to balance competing portions of state law that both provide public access to critical documents but protect confidential portions of personnel files.
Anyone in NH can get tested for Lil Rona
Health Commissioner Lori Shibinette said any Granite Stater can now schedule a test at any of the state’s fixed testing locations. Previously, only people who showed symptoms, who had certain health risk factors, who were 60 or older or who worked in certain jobs could get tested.
All good – but I don’t want any state sampling me. I got tested a few weeks ago at a private lab – no antibodies so I probably never was exposed to the Kung Flu.
The state’s testing centers don’t run antibody tests.
The Supreme Court is weighing two other Right-to-Know cases: the disclosure of a secret list of problem police officers
How the hell is a Brady list secret non-public information?
(And why isn’t inclusion on a Brady list an automatic termination and bar to hiring/rehiring? Integrity and honesty should be a condition of employment as a police office.)
It’s called the Laurie List in NH.
As noted in the article, it’s only secret because the state AG hasn’t released it. The state Supreme Court said it is subject to public disclosure.
My client is exhausting me. I will see her out to the end of this project, but no more.

So Covid killed him?
Exactly
Maybe this info explains the lower tier than I’d like to see murder charge.
It does say the officer’s actions contributed to his death though so I don’t think it helps him much.
It doesn’t get him off the hook. We also don’t know what the jury will buy.
Looks like the RNC convention will be moving.
Yes, he was allergic to being choked to death.
For people who hate racists the Dems sure to be in charge of a lot of racist cops. And when they go over the line riots starts and you lose you livelihood too! Win Win!
Not to mention those shutdowns are probably bankrupting a lot of blacks and immigrants but whatever…
At this point I have to say if those in power decided to deliberately destroy society I dont know what they would do differently than what they are doing now.

Proprietorial discretion protects government agents from the consequences of criminal behavior
Public union protects the careers government agents from any consequence of any bad behavior

I feel like they have kind of gone TOO far in the “fail quickly” direction. I read about Musk’s efforts down there, recently. They are basically creating a factory down there that can create a Starship every week. Think about how amazing that will be- you screw something up, and 2 – 3 weeks later your design changes have been incorporated in the next version of the ship. It is the sort of thing that makes me tear up, it is so goddamn innovative and beautiful.
That said, you can start to rely too much on “we’ll get it right on the next one!” Those ships have to be ridiculously expensive. The steel alone must be absurd. They need to have a balance.

Poes Law man. Poes Law.
I looked at the page about who most of you are voting for right now and I….don’t get it. I could see the case voting for Trump, to an extent, which includes Gorsuch, criminal justice reform, repealing the Title IX Dear Colleague letter, and the very very low bar that he hasn’t expanded any wars from his predecessor (what a pathetic low standard that no president has achieved since Gerald Ford).
But, Jo is not Gay Jay and she doesn’t offer prog lite like Amash was pushing (judicial expansion of the CRA, criticizing lock down protesters, and believing in the mentally challenged brand of John Bircherism).
I’m as critical of the LP as the next guy and Jacob was my first choice, but Jo is a good option. Much better than Trump and obviously Biden.
I dont know anything about her. After GJ I swore ‘Never again. Never. Again.’ That was beyond pathetic. Then Sarwark claiming NK was freer than the US? What the hell was that? Dude was off his meds? Or on some pretty heavy ones.
Gay Jay was trash. There really wasn’t any redeeming quality to either of his runs in 2012 (when he was praised by the Weekly Standard for not being one of those kooky anti-interventionist libertarians) or 2016. Sarwark is the epitome of a “waste of space”. I have nothing positive to say about him. He is walking anal cancer.
Jo wasn’t Sarwark’s pick. And “pragmatists” pulled every trick out of the book to try and prevent Jacob from winning the nomination and then finally settled on backing Jo, since it was really just between the two of them.
She’s worth looking into.
I will look her up but I wrote off the LP a long time ago.
Because I care more about the Democratic party losing this time around than I care about signaling purity. I’ll wallow with Trump this time, if it means team blue loses.
^This^
They have gone full-on totalitarian and must be defeated. If they win the whole country will look like Minneapolis. We will have a hot civil war.
Yup, me too. We dodged a huge bullet last time and I did not vote for Trump. Biden is worse than Hillary, so I’m voting Trump this time to make sure that sack of shit loses.
And in case anyone is wondering why I think Biden would be worse than Hillary.
Biden, as bad as he is, always has been, is made far worse by the fact that he has no grip at all on his faculties. He can barely remember his own name. The country would basically be ran by Super Karen and ultra-statist Warren who will be his VP candidate. Couple that with that the fact that the entirety of his cabinet will be full of uber left wacktards like Gulag Barbie. Just ponder that shit for a minute.
She’s a psychologist, which is gross. But otherwise, yeah, she seems pretty good. Much better than usual, that’s for sure.
Agreed. Psychology is a pseudoscience. And she was a college professor. You just got to look past that horrible stuff
Dude, I’ve voted Libertarian every year since (and including) 1996, but I’m tired.
Also, what LG and Suthen said. I’ve made my useless political points. I need to help make sure the Dems get nowhere to the power they want, because the Reps will f**k it up less.
Crap. should’ve been posted above.
She has as much chance winning as you converting to a Calvinist.
She was on Part of the Problem today. It was a good interview, but she made some weird statements. Like the focus of her capmpaign:
1) Healthcare
2) Environment
3) War
She made some comment about how the youngsters are passionate about the first two. Dave politely tried to encourage her to make a bigger deal out of the third.
Whatever. She’s light years better than GayJay, but she bores me a little.
In my opinion, and I am working on a writeup, the biggest problem we have right now is war. The only way the swamp gets drained is to put a stop to the wars we are in. That would cut their water off.
What does healthcare mean? That sends up a red flag for me.
Environment? WTF is that? That sends up a giant red flag.
I am starting to not like her already.
Rothbard, Raimondo, Rockwell and Ron Paul have a happy.
The wars we have right now are side shows. IMHO the problems we have in order are:
1. Size and scope of government especially Federal
2. Spending
3. Over reach of the law (ADA, Civil Rights Act of 64, war on drugs, Patriot act, ACA, and everything in the CFR)
4. Lack of personal accountability and liberty, and yes I deliberately put them in that order. In some ways number 1 because it is the root cause of the first 3.
5. Foreign Adventurism
1-3 are so intertwined that it is almost impossible to seperate them, 5 is lagging way behind them.
“The freedom to trade and travel are fundamental to human liberty. As American citizens, we should be free to travel anywhere we choose, and to buy and sell anywhere in the world. As President, I will use my Constitutional authority to eliminate trade barriers & tariffs, and work to repeal arbitrary quotas on the number of people who can legally enter the United States to work, visit, or reside. “
So, open borders. I have two deal-breakers: gun control and open borders.
Yeah, that’s not encouraging but I am open to hearing her flesh out that position.
I just looked at her page. I like her positions but she has a snowball’s chance of getting any of that done. Besides, she would be JFK’d inside of a month.
16 years since a true libertarian on the LP ballot. I am okay with her. I voted for her in 1996.
Trump should be a lesson for EVERY SINGLE LIBERTARIAN. Let’s say the seas parted, and Johnson was president tomorrow. She would get absolutely nothing done. Trump, barely got anything done as an outsider, and at least he had about 50% of the GOP giving him mild support. A libertarian president would get absolutely no support, ever.
Libertarians have two choices: Elect Libertarians from the ground up, so that in 20 years there is a party that can help them accomplish their agenda, or work within one of the two parties to get libertarians in the seats.
I am pretty sure that 90% of people here (including myself) do not have the time, energy and discipline necessary to identify libertarian-leaning republicans, get them through the primary process, and then get them through the house. Likewise, I doubt the same people have the time, energy or discipline to get libertarian candidates competitive in their district.
Let’s say I drew the “You are now the POTUS” prize from a cracker jack box.
I can immediately pardon every single person in prison for a victimless crime. I can immediately announce that I will be pardoning anyone convicted of one in the future. I can immediately start declassifying documents.
I can veto any bill that’s longer than 20 pages. I can veto any bill that’s unconstitutional. I can use the bully pulpit. I can rally and organize. I can, by being not of Team Blue or Team Red, draw support from all over. I can start whipping up protest and fury at the state level for such atrocities as Certificate of Need laws. I can fire swamp creatures.
You can pardon people convicted of Federal crimes, which is a tiny fraction. As to declassifying good luck, you need the bureaucracy to do that.
bwahahahahaha The president is not a king, no matter how much we grumble about imperial presidencies. The power lies in the bureaucracy and until you repeal the Pendleton Act and its successors no President can undo the damage.
Most of our problems flow in some fashion from the MIC and the never ending wars they support. War should definitely be at the top of that list. The environment? WTF?
She wants nuclear power.
At least she’s realistic there but nuclear power attracts the votes of guys with engineering degrees, not the youth.
It’s been recommended here before. LP needs to win some local and state elections and build from that foundation. I’m in Michigan which is obviously a swing state for defeating the democratic socialists. What is gained by me voting for the LP candidate for president in Michigan?
Rioters Decline To Sign Colin Kaepernick
MINNEAPOLIS, MN—Colin Kaepernick arrived at the Minneapolis riots last night, saying he was excited to be a part of the looting and violence.
Kaepernick tried out for the riots by throwing bricks into windows but missed every time. He was able to rush a Molotov cocktail into a target window and then spike it on the ground, but then he caught fire. Finally, in a last-ditch effort to get selected for one of the riot squads, he filmed a workout video and sent it to various protester organizations but hadn’t heard back as of publishing time.
“While we appreciate Kaepernick’s enthusiasm, we need someone who can lob a Molotov cocktail accurately,” said a representative for the rioters. “We wish him the best of luck in his future rioting career. We believe Kaepernick will land on his feet with another rioting organization. Maybe Chicago or Louisville will want him.”
The former quarterback quickly blamed his failed rioting career on racism.

The Bee is the gift that keeps on giving.
Huh, I learned something new to dislike Brother Keith for today.
This story is a long interview with locals about the Floyd killing. I learned from that story that somehow Ellison’s son has become a city council member in Minneapolis. I guess that must be more of that rampant white supremacism that is going around.
I await Ellison’s next lecture about how the white devils use nepotism to keep the downtrodden powerless.
But that was the least of my irritations. I also learned that once again liberals lie like rugs when it comes to guns. In the story the claim is made that during a previous protest cops had pointed a gun at Junior.
This is the picture that they are talking about.
It definitely isn’t an automatic rifle (like tye story synopsis claimed). It also needs a lot of squinting to make it look like he’s actually pointing at Ellison the Younger. I’m shocked that the Ellisons would stretch the truth.
This is the story summary that was quoted in the roundup where I found the link to this story:
ps. Yeah the one loon really was advocating for the defunding/abolition of the police in Minneapolis. I’m sure she will get a lot of signatures for her petition, if she can only keep the looters from burning it.
Keith Ellison is a PoS and always has been.
He’s also very stupid; not sure if crawling up on the hill of bodies to make a speech is his idea or that of his handlers.

This story was posted a couple weeks ago. Mom claimed that two black men stole her car with her son inside it. Then the son was found dead in a canal.
Yeah, turns out she killed her son.
I read on TOS the other day that the belief that the right is censored and banned more than the left on social media is nothing but a myth. Can that possibly be true? Ive only heard of it happening to one side.
Supposed to be a new comment sorry
Well, we all know that all voter fraud is non-existent except when it’s not, in which case it was done to benefit the GOP.
They also said voter fraud is a myth.
” Can that possibly be true?”
No, Jack Dorsey himself said it is not true and CNN backed him up.
The left is also targeted if they aren’t typical neoliberals (see people like Jimmy Dore and Aaron Mate) but the right is targeted to a greater degree from what I’ve seen. If TOS is saying that they’re full of shit.
Glenn Greenwald. He has taken a beating.
Yep, him too. He’s a principled leftist and I respect him and his work because of that even though I probably disagree with him on ninety percent of the issues.
I doubt I can find 10% of issue common ground with Greenwald, and even where we agree we would disagree as to why we come to that position and how to address it, but I can respect the man and could discuss things with him with confidence that he might be able to listen to counter arguments. The twitterleft leaves me praying to saint Augusto de Valpariaso.
Yes, what it amounts to is anyone not towing the leftist narrative line gets smacked down at every opportunity.
Geez….line….not line, lion.
leftist narrative lyin’?
Yo, Neph. It’s like Friday, and stuff. Do we get the special, secret link?
Damn its Friday?
That’s what I said!
Bars are opening up so maybe his social life has returned!
I am still trying to come to terms with it being 2020.
Friday
As Ohio gets back to normal, I hope he is out drinking and enjoying life.
And hopefully it’s thawed enough for him to ride to a brewery.
If it is like here, it is.
Here in NH we have summer like weather, but a storm is brewing. Rain is supposed to come through tonight with a cool-down to more seasonal weather.
I decided because of the possible rain and some things I need to do around the house that I wouldn’t get a table at the local Irish pub and instead get take-out. They reopened for the first time today for outdoor dining, tables by reservation only. I asked a little bit ago, and they said had plans to do take-out as well. I called, and they actually are not.
I’ll call for a table on Sunday whether or not I’m by myself. It’s supposed to be a good day on Sunday and they have a brunch, and a good brunch menu.
I need my crazy ass happy hour, man! Straight to my veins
7:30 EDT, Peeps

The Clown Prince extends cower-in-place
Gov. Chris Sununu is extending New Hampshire’s stay-at-home order for another two weeks, but more businesses and organizations, including houses of worship, will be able to open under new guidelines.
Sununu said the current stay-at-home order, set to expire at the end of May, will be extended to at least June 15. It will be reevaluated at that time, and a new order might be issued then, the governor said.
In the meantime, more parts of the economy will be allowed to reopen, and Sununu announced new guidelines to let houses of worship open more broadly. He said they will be limited to 40% capacity, and families must remain at least 6 feet apart.
Places of worship are encouraged to continue conducting services online to allow those at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 to take part from home. Shared cups, books or plates should be avoided under the new guidance.
Sununu said churches and synagogues were never ordered to close, but state restrictions on gatherings of more than 10 people made it impractical for many services to be held.
That last paragraph I quoted is just beautiful. The rest of the article is on how the Clown Prince will centrally plan other parts of the economy.
Since yesterday I have seen a few studies showing that cower in place has made no difference, masks are mostly useless and social distancing doesnt work.
When are we justified in telling these people to just blow it out of their asses?
I have been doing that all along but I everyone else on board with me
Protect the vulnerable and leave everyone else alone.
Professionally, I don’t have that luxury. I have to jump through hoops and play the game to keep our employees working.
0.01705882352 mortality rate from Covid-19 in New Hampshire. Sununu is a lunatic.
