Scenes from Le charme discret du magnat de l’immobilier
“And I thought sheltering in place in the Oval Office was boring,” the hair said in the gloom of the White House bunker.
“Communists are here to kill us,” the hat said. “Communists cleverly disguised in blackface. So offensive.”
“I think those are just black people,” the hair said.
“Why would black people be protesting Donald?” the hat asked. “He’s the blackest president we’ve ever had. Divorced multiple times, guzzles soda, loves using Twitter to crack on fools, makes it rain in all da clubs, almost everything he owns is gold…”
“Preach, brother!” the hair said.
“Certainly blacker than that nerd Obama,” the hat said.
“No one cares about Obama anymore. Joe Biden is the King of Black People,” the hair said. “He will heal the 400-hundred-year wound that still festers.”
“Stop quoting The New York Times,” the hat said.
The hair giggled and scratched himself.
”I’m more black than Joe Biden,” the hat said, puffing himself to tautness. “In fact, I’m 40% recycled FUBU.”
“That doesn’t make you black,” the hair said. “And you say that all the time.”
“How dare you! My polyester suffered the Middle Passage!” the hat thundered.
“Oh, God, don’t,” the hair said.
“Mine is the cotton that picked itself!” the hat said proudly.
“Bullshit,” Donald rumbled from the couch, laying back, talking with his mouth full. “Black people don’t like Joe Biden. Didja hear him fart on the YouTube? Black people don’t find farting funny.”
“Uh…” the hair said.
***
“All the snacks down here are old,” Donald said. “These Oreos are horrible.”
“I think those are iodine pills, Donald,” the hat said.
The hair scampered down Donald’s arm and took the bottle from his hands. “And they are expired,” he said, shaking himself like a wet dog.
“They wouldn’t let me bring my hydroxy pills,” Donald moaned.
“They were killing me!” the hair shouted.
“I need them,” Donald said petulantly.
“They were making you crazy and gassy and your heart sounded like a garbage disposal with a handful of loose drywall screws in it!” the hat told him.
“Whatever. I out-maneuvered you losers. I drank all the water out of the aquarium,” Donald said. “And ate two of the fish. Parasite-grade hydroxy. The good stuff.”
“Donald!” the hair yelled.
“I can never die,” Donald said. He stuck his tongue out at them and it was dark purple shading to black.
***
“I need to get out this bunker. I think I’m allergic to all the 70s furniture down here,” the hat said.
“We need to stay safe,” the hair said.
“A paisley couch,” the hat said. “Who thought a paisley couch was a good idea?”
“I don’t feel safe,” Donald said. “The toilet down here isn’t Presidential at all.”
“And I don’t mean down here. Like where or when or how was a paisley couch ever a good idea?” the hat asked the dusty air conditioning vent on the ceiling.
“What if I need to do Presidential Business?” Donald asked. “High-level, top-secret, international, maybe really loose Presidential Business?”
The hair jumped off Donald’s head, ran to the hat, and cowered beside him.
“And then there this discharge…” Donald began.
“Did you see how they are making fun of you on Twitter for staying down here?” the hat said rapidly.
“What?” Donald squawked. He began pawing at his phone to unlock it.
“We agreed,” the hair whispered to the hat.
“I know, I know,” the hat said. “But I had to change the subject. Did you want to spend the rest of the day listening to his shits and dribbles?”
“I go out to visit the lesbian’s church and they bitch,” Donald said, “And I stay in here and they bitch.” Donald scratched his crotch with his phone and groped on the floor for his Diet Coke with the other hand.
“Imagine that,” the hair said.
“Tweet at ‘em, Donald!” the hat said. “Rile ‘em up! They’ll never get in here. The White House is completely safe.”
“What if they come up through the tunnels?” the hair asked
“Tunnels?” Donald asked.
“Oh, shit,” the hair muttered.
“Donald! They said you held the Bible the wrong way!” the hat squealed. Donald let out a strangled cry and went back to scrolling through Twitter.
The hair sighed in relief and snuggled closer to the hat.
“In fact, I’m 40% recycled FUBU.”
I lol’d.
did you know FUBU hasn’t really been a thing in the US market for almost 20 years?
(I didn’t mean that in a condescending way, just that they literally retreated to overseas markets in 2003 and have made their money there since)
In 2003, FUBU mostly withdrew from the U.S. market, concentrating its efforts in Saudi Arabia, China, Korea, Japan and South Africa, while acquiring other apparel brands. In 2009, annual revenue of the company was around $200 million.[5]
And their efforts for the environment. They donated over 20,000 pairs of Fat Albert jeans to be loaded onto barges and sank for artificial reefs after Bill Cosby was convicted.
Hey hey hey!
Na-na-na, gonna have a good time!
Okay, that’s not racist because…reasons?
In 2006 the Japanese exchange students came over and all these cute little Japanese girls filled up empty suitcases with FUBU apparel.
This has nothing to do with anything, but way back when, I had a long layover at the airport in Tokyo. Went to an airport restaurant for lunch, and a big gaggle of JAL stewardesses came in to eat. All of them were young, very well dressed in their uniforms, and looked pretty damn hot.
I was very foolish then, I thought the cute little schoolgirl who came and sat with me at lunch all three weeks and giggled at all my jokes just wanted chaste company. She wanted the Southern Weisswurst, and I was completely oblivious.
“Whatever. I out-maneuvered you losers. I drank all the water out of the aquarium,” Donald said. “And ate two of the fish. Parasite-grade hydroxy. The good stuff.”
Nice.
This was my fave
“your heart sounded like a garbage disposal with a handful of loose drywall screws”
because I can identify with that.
Yeah, I lol’d at that.
Genius, all the way around, as usual – you frakking bastard.
like a garbage disposal with a handful of loose drywall screws
[still chuckling]
Orgy in the fuck tunnels!
Crédit Mobilier!
This is the relief I needed. My company’s always non-political CEO sent an email today about racism embedded in America and a desperate need to enact social change. My inbox is full of companies touting how much they support the protesters. Not small ones either. It is scary how quickly so many are begging not to be targeted because they’re right thinkers.
I think it’s noble they took the same courageous and controversial stance as McDonalds and Coca-Cola.
In the trendy Carytown shopping district of Richmond (VA), most stores boarded-up in anticipation of riots and looting. And they all spray painted BLM slogans on the plywood.
When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and the two sideposts and pass over the door; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
??????
I’m guessing a whole bunch of Carytown merchants are all for rioting so long as it isn’t their joint getting cleaned out and torched.
RVA in the house! I haven’t been in to the city since all this started. Not planning on it til the looting dies down either.
Me neither. In fact, I need to go into the office – while I’m working from home, there are a few things I have to connect to the mainframe to do. I go in every few weeks. I was explicitly told not to go until further notice – our building is a block away from the CVS that was set on fire.
LOL!
Best Buy CEO sent that exact message out today. “Please loot someone else!”
Please consider Circuit City before breaking our windows.
People who owe everything that have to capitalism and the opportunities it provides, kowtowing to anarchist and communists. Hey dummies, they see that as sign of weakness, they want to destroy you, they said so. What a bunch of dumb spineless cowards.
I’ve gotten some of these mass emails about racism embedded in America and a desperate need to enact social change from chambers of commerce and other professional groups. It’s taken all of my will power and self control not to respond with a rant about that’s a bullshit deflection and hijacking from the real issue and then ask since all these cities with such horrible racism, crime, and inequality have been run exclusively by Democrats for at least half a century wouldn’t real change be to vote for different leadership other than more Democrats.
But I don’t because I’m sure my wrongthink would end my career.
While there are actual, feasible changes that could be made to change policing in this country (stop giving cops tanks, strip unions of power, get rid of immunity so people can sue individual cops), I have little doubt that the end result of these cries for change will be yet another money pit with Progs shoveling taxpayer money into it as fast as they can.
There’s good money to be made prolonging the problem.
“In fact, I’m 40% recycled FUBU.”
One of the very few origins clues we’ve gotten for the Hat.
Is the new press chick down in the bunker too? Who’s “taking care” of Melania?
That’s where the new press chick is. It’s a slumper party.
I hope a pillow fight breaks out.
Pictures or it didn’t happen.
Johnny Majors and Pat Dye died within hours of each other.
Is this like some old married couple dying on the porch together or more like Jefferson and Adams?
“In fact, I’m 40% recycled FUBU.”
The best line. The classiest line.
Get your red-hot Antifa merchandise here!
Is this place for real?
Capitalism is the best way to enact socialism, or something. 2+2=5, can I go now?
It could be a white nationalist hoping to make money off of LARPers.
Look how boutique they are, they don’t have a cart like those capitalist sites, they have a bag!
Anyone else ever notice that the Antifa symbol looks like a large high-heel shoe doing a small high-heel shoe doggy-style?
I think it looks like a Louboutin.
It looks like a commie flag hiding behind an anarchist flag.
??
Leave it to SF to notice that.
The shoes all love the big black heel
Well fuck, I do now!
I just went into town to go to the post office and grab some lunch. I see a sign on main street of my little podunk town :The Future Site of the [REDACTED] Gentleman’s Club. The world is getting really weird, feels like the desperate attempts of sitcom on the verge of being cancelled.
They sell lunch at the post office?
3 day expedited delivery
Rosenstein gets called out on his bullshit. Nobody watching mainstream media will know it happened, which is the idea.
He should’ve gone all COL Jessep on them, just for the lulz.
He’s a weasel.
The mainstream media is a true enemy of the people. Even the ones who don’t know it.
“I am accountable for it.”
My followup would be, “So what does that mean, jail time?”
He means accountable like Janet Reno means accountable.
It’s like Ricky Bobby and “with all due respect” – it doesn’t mean you can just do whatever you want with no consequences.
So, yesterday I just couldn’t take the fires and stupidity anymore. Shut down the Glibs, loaded the bike in the truck and drove into the mountains. Drove to the top of the ridge and got on the bike. It was glorious!
75 degrees
25% humidity

3,000′ altitude gain
Didn’t see anyone else.
Every so often I stop to soak in the view and think “Fuck, I live here!”

Spectacular, mikey!
And yes, I am jealous.
Very, very nice. Enjoy!
You just wait.
When corn field out back hits July, I’ll be able to post some spectacular photos.
Not jelly at all. Drove up the Rogue and around Crater Lake yesterday.

Doesn’t do justice to how beautiful it was, and that was one of the lesser nice spots.
What a gorgeous spot!
From a couple years ago.
Very pretty, but I’m much happier with my much flatter, longer rides. I’m less then a mile from getting into the park trail systems.
Assuming the riots and curfews are done by Saturday, I’m planning a ride up for brunch at a local place.
Jealous, yes — but also ear wormed.
LOL!!
First thing I thought of when I saw the second pic!

You are a WONDERFUL photographer!
Thankyou – the scenery around here makes it easy.
Drake’s post re: Rosenstein reminded me – wasn’t there supposed to be a hearing yesterday in the case about Hilldog’s e-mails? What the heck happened with that? https://www.fort-russ.com/2020/06/do-riots-distract-from-hillary-clintons-june-2nd-deposition-regarding-illegal-emails/

Because it’s been forgotten about, the Federalist has a good write up on Judge Sullivan’s defense:
https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/02/judge-sullivan-finally-responds-to-mandamus-petition-in-flynn-case-proving-why-it-was-necessary/
This guy has now hired a lawyer at taxpayer expense to defend why he is not following the law.
I’d be interested to see the specific authorization for a judge to pay a lawyer with federal funds to defend the judge’s position in an appeals court.
My fascination with people’s theoretical/academic arguments is always to look at the practical implementation of the position: i.e. Does Sullivan think he can force the DoJ to keep prosecuting the case? What’s he going to do if the DoJ doesn’t send someone to prosecute it, hold them in contempt? Further, what happens if/when they come in and just go through the motions/tank the case – does he get to decide if they’re “not trying hard enough”?? This is complete and utter insanity for a judge and I can’t believe he is trying to defend it. Says an awful lot about where his head is at.
Menstrual products are now a covered/reimbursable FSA/HSA item thanks to the CARES Act.
How can i use this to pad my bank account?
We had better stop the flow of puns quickly!
I’m pulling the rip cord and bailing before Swiss gets here.
Stop raggin’ on Swiss!
We seem to have a discussion like this every month or so.
Put a plug in it boys!
This needs to stop, period!
I’m just soaking up all the puns.
*NARROWS GAZE*
I don’t have a problem with that.
How about toilet paper? It’s used to clean up after a natural physical process.
Like paintings?
Shit. I had to get a complete hysterectomy/oophorectomy to get mine to stop.
But not other OTC medications like it was pre HCA?
I am all for rolling back the regulations to those days.
Clark sez certain OTCs are A-OK: https://clark.com/insurance/health-insurance/changes-fsa-hsa-accounts/
That is going to add onto my HSA carryover (from some of my daughters medical expenses, we max out and cash out our HSA on the first day of the year, we are almost caught up, 2021 we may not cash out full amount on day 1).
In case anyone didn’t know, as long as you have an HSA eligible plan when you incur the expense, you can carry over HSA eligible expenses to the next year. Just don’t deduct them as medical expenses on your taxes.
BRAVO!
I laughed out loud a few times.
Jesus Christ, I had no idea
My buddy sent me some images of protesters getting gas’d that didn’t make the cops look good. Holy fuck if that was happening I don’t even want to imagine how they restrained. But it’s also gateway pundit so I’ll hold off for now.
There are no good guys in this store….aside from the business owners trying to keep their businesses alive. Cops, protesters, city and state leaders, they are all a waste of skin. If they all caught fire today I wouldn’t bother to unzip.
gas’d
If there’s one thing we can all still agree on during these contentious times, it’s that apostrophe abuse is still a crime against humanity.
“But they were peaceful protestors! It was those horrible gun rights demonstrators who were the thugs!”
And they’re all in jail right now on murder charges, right?
This is why I don’t know if I believe this shit.
Hindering first responders, like fire truck would first of all land your ass in hot water. Add a few murder related charges to that. Why have I not seen that story yet? Are you telling me that now they are letting people do that and get off with nothing?
To clarify, I don’t think (per the article) that there were any fatalities in this case. Perps should definitely be prosecuted nonetheless.
The police chief made it sound like there was.
I can’t even imagine anytime someone could get away with intentionally blocking a fire truck and not land in prison. There’s all sorts of reckless endangerment going on there.
Yes. There was a fire started by “protesters” when they responded, “protesters” were blocking access for some amount of time. Sounds like a typical riot. In ’92, there were shots fired at the fire department and the police at all of the fires. That would be way closer to what they’re alleging here.
Why are these people not being shot?
Because democrat governors and mayors are telling the cops to stand down.
Those are the ones I was asking about.
Calm down now. That’s a little extreme.
Tar and feathers right before the hanging from lamppost is a much more measured response.
From a link in the GP article (to the local NBV affiliate:
However, later in the week, Richmond fire officials said the family was already outside of the home when they arrived. They did say they were delayed in their response due to the protests, but not to the extent the chief alluded to in the press conference.
This still doesn’t address whether or not the people were inside initially.
So it turns out that Anti-Malaria drug study was complete and utter bullshit. They used falsified data invented by a shell company called and I kid you not Surgisphere ( surge the fear???). How much you want bet this was a pump in dump scheme in an effort to inflate the fucking stocks of that goddamn hiv drug fauci is touting. WTF is happening. I begining to suspect Alex Jones is closer to the truth than anyone ever about everything. They need to reinstate public executions for all these clowns.

Dude, more linking of far right wing extremist sites? Why do you hate science?
What Plandemic on Bitchute, Fauci is all over this shit…..
Right now there’s a march down West Broad St in Richmond. It was supposed to start at the Short Pump mall, but all the entrances were barricaded, so they went to Willow Lawn instead.
To their credit, they’re not pulling the blocking-traffic bullshit. Walking on the sidewalk. The crowd looks like mostly normal people. Not really seeing any commie shitbag types. A lot of youngish women with kids.
Not really seeing any commie shitbag types.
They generally seem to come out at night.
Yep, when all the mayhem is going on.
Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
As a Richmonder, I’ve got zero issue with protestors (even rowdy ones) in any part of the city.
Picket and scream and holler because too many black people are killed by police? I’m cool with that. We could all do with some common sense changes to policing.
But the sheer number of “fuck capitalism” types that these protests have revealed live among us is seriously disturbing.
Agreed. If someone can explain to me how looting the CVS at Boulevard and Broad advances the cause of stopping police brutality, I’m all ears.
Minnesota AG Ellison increasing charge against Chauvin to 2nd Degree Murder and preparing to charge other officers.
I’m worried that they will be overcharged and get off…
This x about a million.
That was my first thought. Particularly with Ellison involved – he can play this both ways. “I charged them bigger and was robbed!”
Honestly? I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the point. Gotta keep the outrage stoked for maximum benefit to the Democratic Party.
On the other hand, Brother Keith is a fucking moron and likely a terrible lawyer, so it could be simple incompetence as well. Wouldn’t be a shock either way.
The feds will then charge and convict them under civil rights violations to sate the mob because double jeopardy has no meaning.
Does Minnesota allow lesser charges? Can a jury find not guilty on 2nd degree but guilty on 3rd degree?
Oh, so you remember Ray Tensing too
Ironically all the new people who are new to the Cop Brutality stuff as of last week, are probably celebrating and don’t even understand how this could be bad.
Don’t get me wrong, with what i know i think he’s a murderer. But Trials are an animal of their own, and you don’t know how it’s going to turn out. Juries are privy to the evidence and the arguments that actually matter.
“I’m worried that they will be overcharged and get off…”
Feature, not bug.
I understand this concern, but I saw second degree murder plain as day. If it turns out there was a personal beef, then that’s first degree. Chauvin had a chorus of warnings that he was killing the dude. Even with all of that, he stayed right there for multiple minutes AFTER the guy stops breathing and moving. There’s just no way to say that he merely knew it might be dangerous and erred in taking a risk. He seemed to be trying to use his actions as a message to the people calling for him to stop. Of course every juror will know somebody who lost a business or at least something. They are going to want the cops to show up and do something when the BLM thugs go after them. Conviction, while likely is not completely certain.
Contempt of cop, plain and simple
I agree. I think he probably will get it, and i think he is a murderer. I just worry, because some of the things i’ve heard will give his defense some good help. (the autopsy etc.). It’s just that by raising the charges (possibly for political points now?) could let a bad man go free.
I certainly hope you’re right. He doesn’t deserve to take another breath as a free man.
this was always the plan. They don’t actually want to solve these problems leon. If they did we wouldn’t be on our 12 iteration of this “national” conversation. The solutions are pretty much obvious at this point. Only one party gets the fundraising, only one party promises to fix this and only one party has been in charge of these police forces for 50 years. They don’t care, it’s a wedge issue and gin up the vote issue.
There is something very hinkey about that whole story. I have heard all kinds of things. There was something between those two guys but I cant say what. The cop definitely murdered the guy in a very deliberate manner and it didn’t have anything to do with a fake 20 dollar bill.
The wife filed for divorce about 5 seconds after he was arrested.
I wonder if the wife was banging Floyd? She might have met him at the club they were both working security for.
We had an almost identical case down here in Marksville. Cop was banging wife, shot and killed husband and 5 year old son was collateral damage. Fortunately that scumbag is now in Angola. I have visited Angola. Trust me, you don’t want to be in Angola. Try to imagine hell on earth, then ratchet it up a bit. You really don’t want to be in Angola.
I watched a documentary on Angola once (or maybe it was just a TV show about it) and your description seems on the nose.
Brubaker?
No, it was nonfiction.
Just yanking the chain.
Although, technically Brubaker is dramatized, not fiction.
I went to the Angola Prison Rodeo every year I lived down in LA; it was always a fun time. Also, when all the different law enforcement agencies come to NOLA to help out at the Mardi Gras, the 2 groups you never, ever, ever want to tangle with are the Navy Shore Patrol, and the Angola guards.
The two words that send a shiver down the spine of any sailor or Marine: “Shore Patrol”
Pater Dean was telling stories about his time in the Marines. When he was in San Diego his “heroes” ( as he calls the Marines in his unit) got into a scrap with the Navy SEALs at some bar. I think he was officer of the day, so he got called and went out with the Shore Patrol. On the way in, one of the Shore Patrol stopped him from entering the bar and told him “Sir, you are officer. If you go in there and somebody hits you, that’s a court-martial. Please wait here.” A few minutes later, the Shore Patrol had that group of Marines and SEALs squared away.
The faces on the sad-sacks, who fall under their jurisdiction, being carted away, tells you all you need to know. Also, they are VERY liberal in their application of the long white truncheon, when wading into bar brawls. The Angola guards, by contrast, all look MMA’s Butterbean and carry revolvers and leather blackjacks.
I was a midshipman on the USS New Jersey in the summer of ’88. Because I had declared I was a “Marine Option” they stuck me with the MarDet on board. So, after my
hazing ritualinitiation, our section of 17 Marines goes to the E-Club on a Friday night. Of course, all hell breaks loose right next to me when one of the Marine’s gal (a former LA women’s gang member) gets bumped into by a sailor and promptly punches him out. Instantly shore patrol is coming in the front door. Before I can join the fray, three Marines physically pick me up, carry me to the back door, dump me outside, and then lock me out. I stand there for a second and the door opens and one of the Marines says: “Midshipman, you got desires o’ bein’ an officer; you can’t be in here for this. Go to the O Club, Junior Zero.” And the door slams in my face again. Shore patrol is like the Goon Squad in “Princess Bride.”We had customer at the bar, an NOPD Sgt. who had been working Bourbon Promenade (French Quarter foot patrol) for a couple decades. During Mardi Gras, he always ‘stored his hat’ at our place while working the streets. He and the boys would pop in regularly for drinks (his was a triple Ketel 1 on the rocks; $11 and he would ALWAYS drop a $20 on the bar, G/d bless him). He once let me in on a secret. He hated arresting tourists at Mardi Gras. He would much rather smack somebody around as an on the spot correction than give them a record and waste his time doing paperwork. However, the city loves money. The (wholly unofficial) policy was to arrest tourists if possible, set their court date several months later, bond them out at a high but not unreasonable amount, and hope they would not return to the jurisdiction for court so as to forfeit the bond into city coffers.
The fact that they both worked security at the same bar seems like too much of a coincidence.
Doesn’t mean that there’s absolutely more to the story, but it seems very, very unlikely that the cop just happened to kill a guy who worked at the same place as him.
Minneapolis is a small town, so you never know.
The guy is a sadistic bully cop. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had been beating the hell out of her for years and telling her nothing will be done because he’s a cop, and maybe threatening to murder her and get away with it. She probably found this is the time to escape.
That’s all speculation, nothing more. But the guy being a sadistic bully cop, that has about a 100% chance of being true.
Yes, he had more than a dozen complaints filed against him, although only one merited a reprimand.
Well, she’s a beauty queen, the bad press would likely not help her much. Probably elicit some laughs when she wishes for whirled peas, LOL.
Someone said the other day that both of those guys worked in porn. I didnt look at the videos but they claimed they had examples.
Porn and bars….that means Mafia. There was something very fishy going on with those guys. A fake 20? Non- violent offense? Handcuffed an not resisting? Cop very deliberately put his knee on Floyd’s neck and strangled him to death. Yeah, right. It was a murder, probably a mob hit.
My two cents:
I don’t need a conspiracy to believe that a cop thinks he can murder someone with impunity.
Can’t argue that point.
That is certainly reasonable but I suspect we will never find out the truth of it.
I’m not convinced at this point. It’s that Occam’s razor thing. Sadistic bully cop with qualified immunity decided it would feel good to kill someone today, and nothing else happened? That sure sounds more than believable to me, it sounds likely. I guess we wait for more evidence, while the media tries to kill anything that kills the narrative.
Floyd probably did something to piss him off, so he decided to kneel on his neck. And when bystanders told him he needed to let up he decided to show them who was boss by keeping it up. He had every reason to believe there would be no more consequences than there were for his previous 12 complaint incidents.
This
Too late. Chauvin is white, but the other three are: half black, asian and hispanic. Obviously white supremacists.
Half black? Didn’t Obama re-establish the one-drop rule?
Do you have a link to this information? I tried to but was unable to find confirmation for two of them (half black and hispanic).
I don’t. Here;s a page about one. He’s obviously part black:

Can’t find the screen shot of Lane.
Just noted below – all the middle-class protests to get lock-downs lifted are now over. No more news stories about gum and salon owners trying to re-open to stave off bankruptcy, just to be crushed by a Dem Governor. This is either a great job of the media to take advantage of an opportunity, or a hell of a set up.
gym not gum.
I have a GUB!
I need to watch some old Woody Allen movies – Sleeper and Bananas in particular.
I’ve tried, but Take The Money And Run is the only one that really took.
Doesn’t even matter though. It’s all about the narrative. First, the leftist, aka the democrats and the media made sure there is massive unemployment. And just when that was accomplished, they created some riots based on something that happens all of the time, but mostly just results in small protests and then is over. But this time, there are massive numbers of people out of work to participate in the protests. Perfect cover for leftists gangs to find cover in and start rioting and looting.
Next, they will overcharge these 2 guys like discussed above and they will get off, all intentional. Right in time for the next round of riots, right before the elections.
I don’t think they will go to trial that quickly. If they do, then I will begin to suspect a setup as you describe.
From May’s “ballot access news”. I loled.
LEGISLATORS IN TWO STATES FAIL TO GET ON PRIMARY BALLOT, DUE TO PAPERWORK ERRORS
New Mexico: Representative Patricio Ruiloba, a Democrat who was first elected in 2014, failed to get on the June primary ballot this year because his petition accidentally omitted his district number. New Mexico permits write-ins in primaries and he will probably seek to win via write-ins.
New York: Assemblymember Rebecca Seawright, a Democrat who was first elected in 2014, failed to include a cover sheet when she submitted her primary petition. She will try to get on the November ballot as an independent. No other Democrat is running.
Earlier this year my wife was collecting signatures to get on the ballot here for the primary, and there was a space that had to be filled out by the person actually handing out the signature page (not the candidate), so those were not valid. This was a new feature, they were not on previous years’ forms. My wife ended up not running due to health issues, so it didn’t matter, but they do have rules and woe to those that don’t follow them.
Iowa bureaucracy is the worst – no way to “get around” the rules – it’s like they don’t even Jersey.
A week ago the middle-class protests to re-open the states still locked-down were really picking up steam.
Now they are a distant memory – pretty fucking convenient.
All part of the plan, comrade. All do do is wait for the glorious new utopia!
Lightfoot was talking about the “protests” possibly causing a delay in re-opening. The next day, it was “re-opening going ahead as scheduled.” I’m guessing the chamber of commerce warned her that she’d have a riot right there in her office if she didn’t a fucking move on.
Pretty much. I guarantee Cuomo is on DeBlasio’s ass because certain extremely wealthy Democratic donors that live in Manhattan called him and told him to straighten it the fuck out or else.
Even though they are both Team Blue – they hate each other. So honestly I think it’s case of whatever one wants the other wants a reason to do he opposite.
Albany has a surprising amount of control over NYC.
The NY State Police just built a facility at the foot of one of the two bridges that allow access from Brooklyn and Queens to The Rockaways. There are constant pissing contests between Rat-Faced Andy: The Mobbed Up Lawyer’s storm troops and the NYPD of of our Commie shit-heel Hizzoner over who gets to issue tickets (and get that sweet, sweet lucre) in city limits.
They’re still happening.
Gyms in NC are opening in defiance of Gauleiter Cooper’s order. There is a lawsuit working its way through the courts.
Reopen NH will storm the beaches on Saturday.
There are lawsuits in Maine over Gauleiterin Mills’ orders, plus some restaurants in counties where dine-in is not allowed planning to open up for dine-in in defiance of the orders.
On the other hand, these are all too local.
“Reopen NH will storm the beaches on Saturday.”
*Saturday evening News*
Earlier today, the governor sent in the state’s entire police force to arrest the beach goers, to ensure public safety, while antifa burned Concord to the ground.
It has been interesting to see what some politicians are willing to go after.
Heh. I can see the Clown Prince doing something like that given he has trashed the Reopen protests and praised the BLM protests.
Totally OT and irrelevant. My $160 Jaybird bt headphones went to heaven the other day. Still under warranty and, shockingly, they are replacing them.
I bought a cheap pair from Monoprice for like $22 to use in the interim. I got them today and damn they sound pretty good.
These may become my gym set, as my Tarah Pros will be replaced with the new Vista (true wireless). I like being able to hang them around my neck at the gym.
Here. I guess I got them on sale, but they are still a deal at $30.
JFC the news is depressing and rage inducing.
Take a break….

Perusing that thread….goddamn at the stupidity. People have lost what little they had of their minds. Back to the music.
I think I may have posted this one before but I was probably drunk. The vocals are so great it is worth another listen

Good stuff even sober, thanks.
Because he didn’t stop reading his book and surrender that little bit of public space to you, he somehow prevented you from paying respect to George Floyd? That makes no fucking sense, and just speaks of the desire to force everyone to pay obeisance to the whims of the left.
Another tweeter responded saying that he’s been there for the past two days. I guess his mother passed recently, and he has mental health issues, and that the organizers left him alone.
Yeah but civilized people shouldn’t care if he has a “good reason” for ignoring it.
To a civilized, liberal citizen in a free republic “I would prefer not to” is a completely valid reason.
Theres people trying to doxx him and talking about burning him in the replies. Deeply disturbing shit.
Carry your guns.
Death to Bartleby.

Dude, Instagram just said they would censor any posts that promote “injustice”.
Yeah, yeah, private companies. Much free market. Much capitalism.
Pretty soon the only fucking website people can dissent from the Leftist Cultural Monopoly will be right here.
It was nice knowing ya’.
Heads over to line up against the wall.
Does assault, arson, and theft count as injustice?
I don’t know what any of that means. Some dude sunbathing. So what?
He refused to bend the knee. He’s lucky nobody broke a 2×4 over his head.
A quick scan of the replies shows support for him.
I would have walked right through there and never noticed him.
I dont get why people can’t mind their own fucking business and ignore everyone else.
Because once you’ve conceded your own personal autonomy to group think, it’s deeply offensive to your fragile psyche encounter someone who hasn’t.
*Checks Saiga mags*
Ok then.
Suthen – you like the Saiga, I take it?
My concern with mag-fed shotguns is the ergonomics and the security of a heavy fully loaded magazine – seems like it could be prone to getting knocked out.
Your observations?
Yes, I am in the market for a combat shotgun. Semi-auto only, pls. I’ve been leaning toward the (pricey) Benelli M-4. You can get a 7 round mag for it, which would be nice.
I’m seriously considering the Beretta 1301 Comp. They liked it a lot at Lucky Gunner.
I’ve always been a pump-gun fan-boy; my dad had an ancient 12 gauge semi-auto turkey gun, but I only fired it a few times as a teen. That Beretta looks nice, is it available in 20 gauge? After a badly broken shoulder in 2001, 12 just starts to hurt after a couple rounds.
That Beretta looks nice, is it available in 20 gauge?
I don’t think it is.
Here, have an unfucked link to the Benelli page.
“Loyalty oaths!” coming to a community near you!
Ho Lee Fuk…..OK, I linked a story about the bogus hydroxychloroquine study earlier, but this story from the Grauniad (!) with more detail is nuts. This is the outfit The Lancet and the NEJM chose to publish:
A phony outfit set up with the sole purpose of derailing hydroxychloroquine research. Nothing suspicious there.
I’m legitimately stunned that the Guardian would run this story.
The question is who paid Surgisphere. That’s what I want to know.
Was it to boost Moderna stock? Was it political?
Whycome people don’t trust Our Institutions anymore?
Interesting, Surgisphere has been around since 2008 and Desai’s CV is impressive.

I wonder if he’s got some gambling debts.
Runs deeper than just hydrochloroquine.

May be? Commie shitbags skin suited them years ago. They aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.
The main author of the study is on the board of the hospital running the Gilead trials in case this could get any worse.

Regarding the electoral college, I was looking up measures of urbanness/ruralness to compare with COVID death and infection rates and ran across this on 538.com:
How Urban Or Rural Is Your State? And What Does That Mean For The 2020 Election?
If you count up the red and blue electoral votes here, you get 300 red, 225 blue (VA with 13 electoral votes is rated as even). FWIW (not much?), for the red/blue rating they use 50% the 2016 presidential election, 25% the 2012, and 25% the state legislative races (they don’t specify the year there).
There is a plot of 2016 presidential voting versus urbanization that is interesting. Correlation coefficient is 0.69.
They go on to speculate that if voting was purely by urbanization, the Dems would win the electoral college vote by 323 to 215. One problem with that: they don’t state the criterion for choosing the cut-off point in urbanization. They choose it between OH and MI, with no apparent reasoning for this, but if it were between PA and CO, it would shift the other way.
VA is “even”? News to me. Since the last election, this place feels more like New Jersey South.
They did not include anything from 2018, apparently.
I think it was 538 or 270towin that let you play with different rules. In 2016 if every state had a Nebraska/Maine style proportional vote for EC it would benefit the GOP, and this is probably why.
I thought it benefited Clinton slightly. Trump would still win, and the chances of the Ds pulling off a win would go down slightly, but Clinton gained a few EC votes out of it.
Just to be clear, NE/ME is by congressional district, not proportional. Proportional might be different.
https://www.270towin.com/alternative-electoral-college-allocation-methods/
You sir are correct, Interestingly all the methods they have would have led to Trump winning or a “tie”.
The last method throws the race into the House.
Trump 267
Clinton 265
Johnson 4
Stein 1
McMullin 1
yeah “Tie”.
Which would have been crazy in 2016. But also puts a bit of a lie to the “National Popular Vote” folks, because if they had their way Hillary would have won, when she only won the plurality of the popular vote.
Clinton gets 16 more votes with the NE/ME rule. Romney gets +68 in 2012 and wins 274-264.
I think that is where i went wrong.
I’m pretty sure “I” voted Democrat in 2018, it’s the only fucking explanation for why I am continually bombarded with proggy mailers and text messages.
Information you can use. If somebody in front of a 7/11 offers you a baby racoon, don’t accept that trash panda. Might be rabid!

Shit
*calls Virginia Dept of Health to inquire about vaccine costs*
I had the vaccination a few months back. It is about $12K. To make up for the cost it is a lot of fun. You will love it.
*Bonus: you get Parvo, tetanus, and half of a dozen other critter vaccines in the package. I cant remember what they all are*
I suppose i did get a little hot under the collar with the wireless this afternoon
But they’re so cute when they’re foaming at the mouth!
I feel a rewatch of Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run are in order. Maybe also Pump Up the Volume.
STAY HARD!
“Eastbound and Down” just makes me happy.
Vanishing Point
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
Might I suggest Flash Gordon. It’s schmaltzy enough to be uplifting in these trying times, and the costumes, set designs, and color saturations are very pretty.
Agreed, and watch Ted afterwards so it all comes together.
Neh, bruh. Smokey and the Bandit/Cannonball Run is totally comfort food.
“If you’re gonna be a bear, be a grizzly!”
I made a critical error and ventured out – a woman at Hy-Vee told me “it’s selfish not to wear a mask and go the wrong way” – I said “OK, Boomer Karen”
Unknown to me, my husband walked by the same woman and she told him he was “rude for going the wrong way” – he told her to “fuck off”
Right attitude. Last night I ordered a t-shirt that says “FUCK SOCIAL DISTANCING”. But it won’t arrive until next week.
I want a T-shirt that says “Lockdowns are a public health problem”.
A while back, HyVee had a sign out front saying basically only one person per family should shop at a time.
Nobody has hardly given me even a side-eye for not wearing a mask.
You should have said you were following the latest WHO advice (only to wear a mask when with people sick with COVID-19) and not the Trump tainted CDC.
