When Donald, tipped back in his office chair, buried under reports he refused to read and a forefinger stiff and sore from tweeting, finally began to snore, the hair dropped from his head to the Oval Office desk and landed in a flurry of white jagged flakes.
“You have dandruff!” the hat said and began laughing.
“I do not!” the hair said angrily.
“That,” the hat replied, jerking his bill toward the white flakes. “That is dandruff.”
“No, it isn’t!” The hair shot out hairs in all directions that gathered the white flakes under him protectively.
“Then what is it?”
The hair mumbled, settling down on the flakes like they were dozens of tiny eggs to keep warm.
“What was that?” the hat asked. “What did you say?”
“They are dried skin flakes–if you must know–from Donald’s scalp.”
“That’s dandruff!”
“No, it isn’t.”
“That’s the literal definition of dandruff! You have dandruff! You’re disgusting!”
“I don’t have dandruff,” the hat said, “Donald has dandruff. I usually take care of it for him, but there has been a lot lately.”
“Take care of it?” he hat asked.
“Yes, that’s what I said,” the hair said primly.
“What does that mean?”
“Just never you mind.”
“No, I want to know. I ride on that head too. If I’m in danger of getting dandruff I have a right to know.”
“You can’t get dandruff.”
“You said you couldn’t get dandruff and just look at yourself! You should be wearing a hairnet! We should mandate hairnets!”
“I don’t need a hairnet. They aren’t very effective anyway.”
“Dandruff,” the hat said. “On me. Dandruff on me!’ a shiver of revulsion ran through his whole cotton body.
The hair sighed heavily. “I take care of it, as I said. With no harm to myself, I metabolize most of it.”
“Metabolize it?” the hat asked.
“Well, in your crude understanding of it, you would say that I eat it.”
“EAT IT? YOU EAT DANDRUFF! THAT’S DISGUSTING!”
“Lower your voice!”
“I will not!” the hat said. “You’re a fucking dandruff eater!”
“I knew you wouldn’t understand.”
“Wait. Where’re all the flakes that were on the table? Are you eating them right now?!?” The hat lashed out with his band, caught the edge of the desk, and pulled himself over to the floor. “DISGUSTING!” he yelled under the desk.
“It’s just skin flakes, and some sebaceous secretions,” the hair said around a mouthful. “And some fungus.”
“FUNGUS?!?” the hat under the desk said. “DOUBLE DISGUSTING!”
“Oh, calm down,” the hair said.
“We’re in the re-election fight of our lives!” the hat said. “And we’ve got China virus attacks on two fronts–COVID and fucking TikTok–and the economy is in the absolute shitter and you are eating goddamn dandruff!”
The hat rolled over on his side and pouted. In the silence, he could hear the quiet munching of the hair on the desk above him.
“You said ‘most,’” the hat said quietly. “You eat ‘most.’ What happens to the rest of it?”
“I store some in his ears for when I get snacky,” the hair said. “It’s… it’s delicious.”
“And the rest?”
“I drop it down the back of his shirt. After it ages on the small of his back, it gets soft…”
“Stop,” the hat said.
“…and takes on a really intense nutty flavor.”
“Stop,” the hat said. “Stop. Please stop.”
I never knew that the Hair could disgust me more than the Hat.
“If you liked that, you should try the body wash.”
Slightly misremembered.
https://youtu.be/Lvi6NaiM3ho
Hmm, I’d have thought that the flakes he dropped down the front of his shirt would be the ones with a nutty flavor.
Pubic hair cannot live on McMuffin crumbs alone.
PHAKE NEWZ! We all know Donald prefers the McGriddle!
Why would it eat McMuffin crumbs when it can feast on crab every day?
That military butler will hang, for this.
You flaked out on this one SF.
I thought it was head & shoulders above his usual work.
The grossness was a little scaled back.
It still made me itch.
Huh, I thought he had a chance at something great here but selsun blue it.
*narrows gaze*
Sore eye saw us?
“You said ‘most,’” the hat said quietly. “You eat ‘most.’ What happens to the rest of it?”
That was ominous for me as well.
The hair takes on all the True responsibility.
I /knew/ that was the point to stop reading. I mean, in SugarFree, eating of dandruff by The Hair doesn’t seem so bad. Did I stop reading there though? No, no I didn’t. Wretched.
Donald doesn’t get dandruff! He has the best skin!
I read this episode on the toilet while taking a dump. A vast improvement.

So, do you spin on your heels, or do you just vomit between your legs?
Got a response from the Dem Campaign volunteer:
Thank you, _____ Here’s what Greg had to say about gun control: “I am a gun owner and have been for almost 50 years. I am also a defender of the protections we enjoy as gun owners under the law. However, I support legislation to expand background checks on firearms to cover more sales than under current law. Currently, federally licensed firearms dealers have to submit a background check on each sale. However, not everyone selling guns legally is a federally licensed dealer, and unlicensed sellers do not have to run background checks on in-state sales. Too many sales, particularly at gun shows and on the internet, are exempt under the current system.”
I responded that the guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, FFLs must be used for internet purchases.
Ask about repeal of the NFA.
Chicago teenagers are getting them with their cell phones.
/I’ve heard
In Indiana.
Hoosiers hand them out on Chicago streetcorners, like candy.
Of all the lies of politicians, the “I am a gun owner. I support gun owners. But….*Bloomberg talking points*” is the one that drives me absolutely fucking nuts.
“I’m sorry, but…” means “I’m not sorry.”
As always, you can usually ignore everything before the “but”.
All before but is bullshit.
I think of it as a warning that I have limited time to make a tactical move before I hear what comes after “…but”
God save us from the Fudds.
Only if out of state. If it’s in state, unless under state law, there’s no requirement for a FFL.
Everything before the ‘however’ is a lie.
Everything after it is also a lie.
CA has had universal background checks for years now. Ask him how that’s working there.
Quite well. Just need to tighten a few more loopholes (loophole being whatever was left after the last restriction that allows you to acquire, posses, or operate a firearm) and they’ll have paradise.
We even have background checks for buying ammo now.
Too many sales, particularly at gun shows and on the internet, are exempt under the current system.
leon, is there a background check requirement for in-state private sales in your state?
https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title76/Chapter10/76-10-S526.html
I’m not sure. I know that it is required at Gun shops, and that there is an exemption for those who have a Concealed Carry permit. Most sellers at Gun Shows won’t sell to anyone who doesn’t have a permit, so i think it might apply to private sales as well.
It looks to me that the requirement to run a background check only applies to licensed dealers. Does Utah have its own system of licensing firearms dealers? NH has one for sellers of handguns, but none for long arms. I could look it up, but I’m going to be a bit lazy.
Those guys at gun shows might just be covering themselves. Not only from expansive definitions of “dealers” from the state law you quote but also possibly providing some protection against claims they sold a gun to the next Adam Lanza.
Not sure what number of sales moves you out of private sales and into being a dealer, but I suspect most people with booths at gun shows are probably close to the line, if not over it.
I have a vague memory that the Feds have never defined it for purposes of FFLs.
I remember reading some warnings about selling C&R eligible guns once I got my C&R license. You’re allowed to sell, but you’re not allowed to sell “too many” because that would mean you need a FFL01 instead of a FFL03. “Too many” is in the eyes of the ATF, with the Federal courts taking the attitude of “I’ll know when I see it.”
I asked the IOI during my interview for an FFL about this. Her answer was basically its less about a number and more about the context and justification. If for whatever reason they find out about a non-licensee selling 20 guns over a 3 month period and you can show say for example financial hardship then they will view it as normal disposition of property. If however you have sold 20 guns and bought 10 guns over that period they will see it as engaging in commercial activity. She stressed this was a very simplified example and wasn’t backed by any hard and fast policy.
NEVER ENOUGH
The final weeks of Joe Biden’s search for a running mate have had all the usual trimmings: leaks from unnamed Democratic party officials, last-minute suggestions of outsider names and a trail of vague hints from the candidate himself.
But this year is different. Biden promised to select a female running mate, setting up a historic nomination process that many prominent Democratic women say is being overshadowed by the increasingly nasty – and unmistakably sexist – debate over who he should choose.
“Even in this moment of women ascending to heights that we never have in our country’s history, it’s still really being talked about and debated through the lens of a man,” said Jess Morales Rocketto, the executive director at Care in Action, a non-profit group that advocates for domestic workers.
——-
Many Democratic women with extensive experience in party politics say the remarks, while not surprising, are deeply offensive and mar a vetting process that they hoped would be celebrated for its diversity.
LaTosha Brown, the co-founder of Black Voters Matter, said she has been “appalled” by the “racist, sexist tropes” used by party leaders and elected officials to undermine female candidates for vice-president, particularly women of color.
“Being a Black woman with ambition is not a problem when it’s in the service of others,” Brown said, adding: “Black women have always been on the vanguard of fighting for our democracy, and we will continue to do so. But we will also hold accountable anyone who seeks to marginalize our contributions, our intellect or our electability. This is not going to be tolerated.”
The best way for Biden to show he condemns these remarks, she said, would be to put a Black woman on the ticket.
The comments have also exposed a generational divide between an old guard of white, mostly male leaders and a new cohort of diverse, trailblazing women who are increasingly ascendant in the party.
I guess Joe should let them fight it out in the cage, Grand Melee style. To the DEATH.
So historic, he’s doing it over 10 years after he trounced the last Female VP candidate in an election.
Wasn’t there some woman who ran for President a couple years back… name’s right on the tip of my tongue.
Shh! You’re not supposed to remind people of Sarah Palin. The GOP would never be so forward thinking.
Geraldine Ferraro is coming back from the grave to tell Jess Morales Rocketto to go fuck herself.
I’d want to forget Ferraro too, given the historic pounding they took. Hmmm. Ozy and Don Escaped…how does that fit into your theorizing about this election?
Guess Sarah Palin never ran either…
All Republicans are straight white males, especially the women.
Honest to God, back during the 2016 primary one of the NPR panelists declared the republican candidates were all white men. When challenged on it, she doubled down saying the Cruz and Rubio would be offended if you called them Hispanic.
She was just a whack job that had sexual relations with at least one black man.
I thought it was her daughter that was banging black dudes and Sara was just pretending to be the mom?
/Andrew Sullivan
At the end of the day, racist Democratic primary voters put an old white guy at the top of their ticket.
Nothing else matters.
That’s because lefties believe so strongly in identity politics that they believe that white males are superior, which is why their beneficent patronage is needed to help prop up the inferiors in society.
It’s funny because it’s true.
Nancy Pelosi, for all i hate about her politics, is an incredibly strong willed and tight fisted leader of her party in the House. This kind of talk seems to be more about whats young and new than genetalia or good ideas.
The Dems are every other -ist out there, might as well add ageist.
Please, no Jello wrestling…
Yeah, nobody ever accused Trump of being unlikeable.
Stop nominating feminist hags and we won’t complain about their likeability any more.
“unmistakably sexist”
Yeah, saying you will only pick a woman is pretty sexist.
Remarkable for a party full of misogynists.
Even in this moment of women ascending to heights that we never have in our country’s history
Like what? We’ve had major party female VP candidates, Cabinet Secretaries, Supreme Court Justices, and major company CEOs, etc. before. What is she referring to?
Art critique via statue “editing”?
The more I think about it, the more I realize I would take Geraldine Ferraro as POTUS over any other person the Democrat Party has promulgated for the job this century.
She would not be recognizable as a Democrat today. Back before we had solid Red and Blue states—everything was in play.
a shiver of revision ran through his whole cotton body.
Does this mean the story is going to be edited for some reason?
Damn autocorrect. Fuck.
“a shiver of revision”
Always go with your first version. Editing is for pussies.
It’s the feeling you get every time a Flash dies.
It’s all about the Virus!
Joe Biden will no longer travel to Milwaukee to accept Democratic nomination
Keep the man hidden. It’s the only way.
There goes my hopes of an Antifa crowd rioting on the Dems.
Maybe that’ll be the cause, more room to riot
That’s probably a third of the reasons why he’s not going.
That won’t stop them from rioting, they’ll just burn and loot what’s left of Milwaukee anyway.
Will anyone notice?
Shame about the burgeoning VCR repair industry.
On the other hand, a recent survey showed that 100% of the VCR repair industry consists of hack frauds
The Hillary Gambit of never campaigning in Winsconsin? / I think he already had, but let me make a joke.
Seriously though they are working hard to prep the idea of not doing the debates.
Biden’s handler says he’ll be debating.
Then you’re not willing to win! / Visigoth
Wisconsin only peaked 8 or 9 days ago. So it is still pretty much infested with disease.
Wisconsin’s average daily C19 deaths peaked two months ago.
Has anyone posted this?
Where am I?
SF, you should do an episode with Biden. All you have to do is forget where you are and mumble incoherently. Are they really going to run this guy as a Trojan horse? I’m not sure the republic is so far gone that they will elect a guy who is clearly gone mentally. If they will, we are done, toast.
I bet those super funny people at SNL have been all over this.
I’ve done a couple now. There is more coming.
They were going to send his double instead, but they’re still vetting candidates.
And just earlier today I saw that his wife was ensuring that Joe would debate. Let’s just say I am skeptical.
How? I mean really, he refuses to do even a shot interview and he can no longer stay focused for 5 minutes without just standing there staring blankly out into space. I mean there were questions about Hillary’s health in 2016 and I think they were legitimate, but at least she was mentally functional, Biden is completely fucking gone, how’s he going to get through 3 one and a half hour debates without even true bleevers knowing the guy has a worse case than just early onset dementia?
And I don’t think Sky News is a far right organization. This can’t be ignored for much longer. They know that Biden is the only candidate they have that can come close to beating Trump, I find it sort of amusing they are in a real dilemma. They put all their eggs into that basket hoping that Biden could hang on until after the election. He can’t, so now I’m not sure what they plan to do, but I have some popcorn ready.
The party is already lost to the far left. There’s only a few of the so called moderates left, Biden, Fenistein, Pelosi, Schumer, all of them past 75 and the radicals can’t wait to bash them over the head and push them down some stairs first chance they get. It’s truly going to be outright Marxism vs what’s left of a constitutional republic no later than 2024.
“What Joe means is…”
/Jill Biden
If he does debate, the grade inflation by the media will be off the charts, no matter what he says. He will uncork with prattling, Chauncey Gardiner-esque non sequiturs that have no mooring whatsoever to 2020 reality, and press outlets will declare him to be insightful, bold, a real leader, etc. This is pretty much what they did with his VP debate with Paul Ryan in 2012. Everyone expected Ryan to mop the floor with Biden (yeah, he was a known dolt back then, too). Biden showed up and muddled through a so-so performance and the press treated him like the Oracle of Delphi.
Just what 2020 has been missing, Being There in real life.
Known in 2012? It’s been common knowledge since the ’80s when he first started being called “Slow Joe”.
No debates. The DemOp complex will put up rules and requirements until Trump refuses. They’ve already floated real-time fact checkers and releasing tax returns. They’ll keep piling on totally reasonable yet also completely unprecedented bullshit until Trump says no.
Trump has an easy out, if he’ll stick to it. Say he’ll debate under exactly the same ground rules as the debates with Hillary, only with less pre-debate leaking by moderators to the Dem campaign. Take the initiative now, make them refuse.
The simple plain truth is that if Joe Biden can’t do what Hillary Clinton did four years ago, then he has no business being President.
PANDEMIC THOUGH!!!!
The NBA has a sealed bubble to play basketball, I’m sure we can get one to debate. Hell, make a day of it. 2 hours, followed by a 30 minute break, then repeat twice more. Surely Biden will be up to the challenge.

Also in NY, apparently Cuomo is ordering an enquiry into the power companies wanting to know why so many people are without power in the wake of the current storm.
Of course when the rolling blackouts start due to his policies, he will be nowhere to be found.

Dr. Zev Zelenko Gives Insightful Talk On HCQ And Deep Medical State Corruption
Same old – we killed a lot of people for political gain.
Not to mention financial gain. I don’t think this can be scrubbed from future history books.
Zinc is the most important. It stops the virus from growing, but it cannot get into the cell. HCQ opens the cell. Zinc is the bullet, HCQ is the gun. Z-pac stops secondary bacterial infections.
He says zinc is a key part of the treatment. Yet every trial I’ve seen failed to include it.
that is what I keep saying. It may or may not work but include it in a trial. It is cheap known to have immune system effects and does no harm
Intentionally failed to include it.
And intentionally uses too high of a dose of HCQ.
Why would anyone be surprised that something that keeps the doctor away is not recommended by doctors.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. OH NOES! ALAR!!!
A Gin & Tonic a day keeps the doctor away. OH NOES! DOSE FAR TOO SMALL IF YOU ARE IN ICU!!!
other doctors also mentioned zinc
“Zinc is the most important. It stops the virus from growing, but it cannot get into the cell. HCQ opens the cell. Zinc is the bullet, HCQ is the gun. Z-pac stops secondary bacterial infections.
I guess that creating a trial program that is firing blanks proves that firing bullets doesn’t work.
“150,000 Americans are dead because of Dr. Fauci, who violated his oath. Financial profits, special interests, are not the reason to sacrifice the most vulnerable of our population.”
I hope the show trials are broadcast in prime time.
And the executions.
Now now. Fauci only has to be executed once.
I think the show trial is more likely to be for the dissident doctor.
I’ll happily trade Trump’s for Michelle Lujan Grisham’s.

In Ohio news… no preliminary injunction for DeWine’s changing of last call from 02:00 to 22:00 Friday morning. So far, I think the only wins against DeWine’s orders have been from Lake county.

So they’re being fairly targeted? Ain’t dictatorships fun?
My favorite lawsuit was from the video game, pinball, and bar games group. The specifically pointed out that the touchscreen Ohio Lottery games and kiosks were permitted to be opened, but not their entertainment options. Somewhat related since several of the bars that signed on to the last call suit run arcades (play for free as long as you’re drinking).

I guess the August 15th St. Patrick’s Day/July 4th/Cinco De Mayo event is done?
It’s looking that way. It’s still showing active on Facebook (I think, I’ll need to check with the girlfriend when she gets home).
I had a feeling that would happen.
Oh well.
There will be an anti-mask ordinance rally in Keene, NH on the 15th. I’ll go to that instead.
Maybe I should go there too and wear my KEEP YOUR MUZZLE ON T-shirt.
The more the merrier.
Just confirmed with the girlfriend, it’s still going on, but as an online only event.
Fuck. That. Noise.
Yeah, fuck that.

Hotter in her prime: Penelope Ann Miller, or Ann Miller?
Ann Miller hands down.
Penelope. But nice try Ted’S.
Penelope Ann Miller was a dish in her younger days. I think her character in Other People’s Money was the start of my predilection for hot women in business suits with shortish skirts.
Still looking good. I’m pretty sure she’s had work done, but if so it was excellent work and not the freak show so many actresses go for.

Whitmer is among the Democratic governors who early in the pandemic criticized the White House for forcing states to manage on their own. In interviews, Whitmer suggested the Trump administration was blocking Michigan’s requests for help and creating a bidding war among states for personal protective equipment. President Donald Trump pushed back, saying states that don’t show appreciation for the federal government should be ignored.
“Don’t call the woman in Michigan,” Trump said during one White House briefing. The phrase stuck, propelling Whitmer to national attention.
She now faces the challenge of balancing a state budget deeply affected by the revenue losses caused by the pandemic. Last week, she said cuts in education and public safety would be “unavoidable” without financial aid from Washington.
——-
A global pandemic was not on the radar when I ran for governor. I am most grateful for the people I serve, the incredible experts I’m surrounded by and my fellow governors. We are all building the plane as we fly it with a vacuum of leadership in Washington, D.C. It’s been some of my fellow governors who I have found to be most helpful in talking things through. We’ve shared our strategies.
We’ve benefited from each other’s experiences and knowledge. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is one of the first ones I’m on the phone with when we’re grappling with a big decision, along with Mike DeWine (Ohio), Larry Hogan (Maryland), Tony Evers (Wisconsin) and Tim Walz (Minnesota). I’m talking to Democrats and Republican governors because every single one of us is confronting the same issues and we’re all trying to get our states in a place where our people are safe and we can get our economies on track.
Uh huh. This hurts her more than it hurts you.
This hurts her more than it hurts you.
She took a 10% pay cut so she could feel the pain of Michiganders.
Is she helping defend that Nordic themed B&B in Michigan from threats of violence over their “hateful” flag?
Protestors are demanding they take the flag down because the confederate flag is hateful.
Only problem is, the flag at the B&B is the Norwegian flag.
A quick search says no, which doesn’t surprise me. She’s too busy grinding businesses under her feet and imposing mask mandates to give a shit.
Gib me dat Money! But you have no right policing us!
Offer a bailout on the condition that the governor resign from office and be permanently barred from holding any government position in the future.
“Last week, she said cuts in education and public safety would be “unavoidable” without financial aid from Washington.”
This is the real reason that all the Democrats in power, and huge swathes of the Republicans, want Biden to win.
Massive federal bailouts so they can leave office without the pension time bomb blowing up in their faces.
I find it remarkable that a governor is openly admitting she is incapable of doing her job, and asking a man to come in and save her state.

How stupid do you have to be to mistake the Norwegian flag for the Confederate battle flag? It’s a cross, not a saltire, and there are no stars.
How stupid do you have to be to mistake the Norwegian flag for the Confederate battle flag?
Woke stupid, that’s how stupid.
Think of how dumb the average person is. Then think how dumb the average Antifa useful idiot is.
Besides… the Norwegians are all white, and they’re from the North, so…
Norway is predominantly white, which means predominantly racist, which means the Norwegian flag is no different from the Confederate flag.
Those white supremacists parade past my home every year. Look at the hate in their eyes.
It’s kind of funny – I know people from everywhere ended up in NY but you don’t think of NYC as having enough Scandis to merit a parade.
It was very specific to my neighborhood. We even have a Leif Erickson Park. The nearby hospital I recently checked out of used to be known as Lutheran Medical Center. There’s still a Lutheran elementary school up the street. Etc.

You know what other flag has the same colors as the Confederate flag…
The French flag?
Nah, that one’s all white.
No, that’s a common mistake, but that flag is actually just the French Battle Flag.

did Suthen ever discuss sectional density ?
Reminds me of a FAQ for a company that sold brewing equipment (from the before times). They had an entire page begging people not to pick up a small system for your primary brewing equipment, because you’d be talking to them again in a couple months figuring out how to expand it.
Fenix makes good stuff. I shot their 77grn. Match 556 for years in 3-gun competition.
I got a thousand rounds each of their 9mm and 45 ACP bulk ammo a few months ago. I was hoping to pick up a few boxes of their self-defense ammo. I like that they load their practice and defense ammo the same.

We used to eat at one of the original spots in Marina del Rey and loved it back in the early 90’s. Then we moved back east and ate at one in NJ – it sure tasted like reheated frozen pizza. Haven’t gone back in over a decade.
I’ve only been 3 or 4 times. my overall impression is that it was okay pizza at good pizza prices.
Similar experience for me. Had it once at a mall. Very average and overpriced.
I thought they made one of the better frozen pizzas.
So i was looking at it, not that i think an electoral tie would happen, but i didn’t realize that when a tie happens, each state gets only 1 vote for president, rather than each rep getting a vote.
That would be the final straw for California to secede. If only it wasn’t so damned unlikely.
Yes. Each state’s delegation casts one vote. Which could be interesting for some states.

Fun scenario, from the 12th Amendment:
if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President
The 20th Amendment moves March 4 back to Jan 20.
Isn’t that legacy language from before the President and VP ran together. Today, once the VP’s term expires, there simply is no VP on March 4.
No, the 12th is the start of them running together.
It was created after the election of 1800 when they realized the previous method was broken.
The point is that is the Senate votes in a VP, even if the House is deadlocked on President. The old VP I think gets to break a Senate tie, although maybe not. So there will never be a tie in the Senate.
Yep. Each Senator gets 1 vote for veep, but reps vote by state. And a 269-269 tie creates some other interesting scenarios…obviously a faithless elector can push someone over the top. But also, the house votes from top 3 candidates, so a coaltion of faithless electors could try to get enough support behind another candidate that would be more acceptable.
And we end up with a President Romney or some such nonsense.
By current makeup, party line voting leads to 26-23-1 GOP win. The tie is Michigan, which includes Amash as GOP. But the Presidential vote would be after the new congress is seated, right?
new congress
which makes ratifying their election, including mail-in ballots, vital; expect lawsuits at this level
In that scenario, I could see some brutal fights over ratification. Majority refusing to ratify a member to flip a close majority to a tie or a tie to a close majority.
One scenario is that Biden* accepts that he will lose to Trump in a house vote, encourages Dem electors to vote for squish republican that both the Dems and never-trumpers can accept, in exchange for some quid pro quo. Get three states to flip from Trump to Squish along with D support wins the election.
*And by Biden, I meant Dem party operatives
Unless the squish is one of the top three candidates, I don’t think it can go that way. Not sure, though.
Presumably, the third candidate will be either Green or Libertarian.
Third in ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES. Neither the Green of the LP will get one. Third would be the result of faithless electors. In 2016, it would have been Colin Powell, with 3 EC votes.
We want our cut of the action, too.
Stupid press office.
Latinx businesses
How many businesses owned by gender-confused “brown” people are there in NY, anyway?
you’re on fire today, dude
Fewer every day, thanks to Cuomo.
Gee, i wonder what that feels like. To be left out all the time, it must really hurt. Thankfully it was just a mistake, and there isn’t a group that was purposely being excluded.
Let’s take one more look at that pick up truck/motorcycle incident from yet another angle.

Antifa scumbags totally assaulted that dude. 100%. Not even a smidge of doubt.
Yup. He bumped the bike that cut him off, and some asshole took a hammer to his windshield before he took off.
He could have left a trail of bodies a quarter mile long, and I’d vote to acquit.
Before he bumped the bike, it looks like there was already a group of Antifa moving to converge on the truck. Seems like a planned ambush.
Yes. They stopped him to assault him.
Of course. But they were going to do it peacefully. A mostly peaceful assault by mostly peaceful protesters.
Not only did they break his windshield, but a guy on the driver’s side knifed his rear tire.
Didn’t see it there, but I’m reading that antifa is now trying to blind drivers with lasers at their roadblocks.
No matter what else, antifa with lasers need to be shot. Blinding somebody is maiming them, and attempting to do so justifies a lethal response.
People have been more than patient with these bloodlusters. However, there is always a reaction, and the reaction tends to be more violent than the original action.
