Brett is MIA again. We have unconfirmed reports that he has been using an alias to duck certain cartels and this may be him. Way to kill the planet, Brett! If it turns out that wasn’t Brett, there may be other ways to locate him. (Pay particular to the last sentence in this story. I’ll buy a beer for anyone who can explain why the hell that’s included.)
With Brett gone, I’ve volunteered to babysit. The bad news is I’m not going to cut the crust off your sandwich, and I didn’t bring any juice boxes. The good news is I’ve brought some links to assist with your nap time:

I like Firsting because it is so much fun. It is the most fun because man is the most dangerous animal of all. To beat something gives me the most thrilling experience. It is even better than getting your rocks off with a girl. the best part of it is that when I die I will be reborn in paradise and all the people I have Firsted will become my slaves. I will not give you my name because you will try to slow down or stop my collecting of slaves for my afterlife.

Denim is made from cotton. Wouldn’t it just rot?
Yes….your question is regarding….?
The second link:
“Denim makes outsized contribution to ocean microfibres
The study, published by the American Chemical Society’s Environmental Science & Technology Letters, found microfibres from jeans are much more prevalent in the oceans than previously thought.”
Even if they did not rot, I have to say this is one of the most egregious examples of misunderstang the scale of two large but not remotely comparable quantities I have seen. The oceans could absorb every pair of jeans on Earth without a hiccup.
“Oil tanker on fire off the shoulder of Sri Lanka”… anybody seen SEA SMITH lately?

So, how exactly did the Feds start looking at his tax records?
If not the Feds, then prosecutors. Seems like they went fishing.
When I found out he had a home in windermere, I asked how? I guess tax fraud is how. For those who don’t know windermere is where all the sports stars live in Orlando. Very expensive area.
They have the ridiculous notion that punishing the cops over Floyd will somehow placate the rioters so they are crawling up his ass with a microscope?
This is SOP now and has nothing to do with the riots
When someone gets in legal trouble, go looking for white-collar crimes that he might be involved in. His assets are already tied up in one defense, he won’t be able to afford another. Fight a DUI while being employed as a financial analyst? Expect an insider trading prosecution. Get into a labor dispute with your factory workers where you make medical supplies? Expect a medicare fraud prosecution and a civil asset forfeiture on your home to make it harder to take out a mortgage to hire an attorney.
They overcharged him on Floyd, so they’re just basically going to prosecute him forever, for something. I think they call that doing a ‘Flynn’ now.
*Whatshisname Zimmerman clears his throat*
Between the prosecution, and his divorce, his assets are coming into question big time. It seems he has a 2nd house(?), and I’m gonna presume his wife wasn’t making the lion’s share of their bank. I imagine that he was working top-dollar off-duty gigs, which often times pay cash, and wasn’t reporting it.
Of course, they may have had other side hustles that were given the same treatment. This goes to show just how safe he felt at his agency–no way none of the co-workers didn’t know about this house, and, no one went snooping to find out how he could afford it. Or, at the least, they operated on the honor system, trusting that he was “following the law”, which isn’t necessarily unreasonable, per se. Still; seems like someone should have noticed something before now.
My dad told me that a colleague at IBM bought a bunch of land in MN in the 60’s and planted a crapload of trees. That was his retirement plan. I wonder if it worked out for him?
What kind of trees? Pine is one thing. Hardwood is another thing altogether.
Oh gosh – no idea. I assume it was whatever was getting the highest prices that would grow in MN with little to no maintenance
I mean… You don’t get how that is pertinent to the tree/dead body story?
I guess it’s left over from another article.
I want to read that article that it might go to because the statement alone is weird.
“According to the latest data, tectonic forces beneath mountains, rather than weather conditions or surface erosion, may be key factors in how high a mountain will be.”
Because it wouldn’t work above the tree line?
“According to the latest data, tectonic forces beneath mountains, rather than weather conditions or surface erosion, may be key factors in how high a mountain will be.”
Hasn’t that been geological science knowledge for a long time now? Why it was included…to make their article sound more “sciency” and thus authoritative to the reader.
Why no! Until now, everyone thought erosion made mountains taller. How silly we were!
Cut & paste error, I bet.
“Latest data”
Alfred Wegener has a sad.
Hey, the article is about mountains. To a mountain Wegener was so recent his borth hasn’t even had time to register, much less his work.
I think I remember learning about this in like 4th grade.
That reads like something from a press release from a university written not by the scientific department responsible for the research, but the communications department.
It reads to me like it was written by a journalism student who heard some geology terms 5 years ago, but has no idea what they might mean.

She looks like an alien there. However, I believe she is the most “most natural” of the Jenner/Kardashian clan and is somewhat cute compared to her sister.
Something about “raising a very low bar” goes with this comment as well as the tweet.
Such a reinterpretation of the Fed’s mandate could be seen as a foray into social policy, a vital precedent for others as they reexamine their own roles after years of unconventional moves that already impact wealth and income distribution.
A foray into social policy, you say? That horse left the station a while ago, and was last seen sailing over the horizon.
I’ve been hoping for either a Tom Woods or EconTalk episode detailing the Feds actions over the past six months. Any semblance of a Fed restrained by rules is basically hopeless at this point, right? I seem to recall seeing very early on that they would be buying ETFs and — although I’m testing my memory a bit here — municipal bonds. Are they still doing that, or was that a one-off event? The fact that the US government could issue debt subsequently purchased by the Fed was farcical enough — state- and local-governments and individual companies lining up at the trough unfortunately seems a fairly logical next step.

I assume there was ample hand-wringing in the press about the implications of this guy drinking other people’s beer with respect to coronavirus spread.
I think “Biden voters” is a good label.
The thing is, they’re not, though.
Not that anyone would listen, but I feel like a lot of older Civil Rights leaders could put an end to this bulshit. Claiming to be hated “just like Emmet Till” when _you_ went up and drank someones drink is obscene that it would be called out as racist and derogatory if anyone but a black person did it.

Stealing from the dead thread because it interests me:
The whisteblower case was interesting. You had the entire media colluding not to report a story. That isn’t that atypical in itself. They often refuse to report on stuff that makes team blue look bad. But it was the way they acted in unison shouting down anyone who dared to try to name the whistleblower as if doing so broke some sacred ethical standards they actually have.
What was crazy was how Hard Youtube and Facebook came down on it when Eric’s name was already out there.
SMITE
And there was no good explanation for any of it.
MY WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION! That is all they ever said. Its akin to their anonymous sources.
But naming whistleblowers had never been an issue before unless you were the journalist using them as a source.
All the explanations I saw had to do with what government officials are allowed to do, as if that somehow applied to the press, too. And it’s always been that way even if it hasn’t, so shut up.
I find it infuriating that this started because a nothing staff officer didn’t like the decision his boss made. Shut the fuck up you staff puke and do what you are told. The action was neither illegal or immoral just because it did not fit “interagency consensus”. He was elected to hold the office that runs foreign policy- not you.
just because you did not receive an end our tour award and got a mediocre OER (just speculation) doesn’t mean their was retribution. You got your pension so just go away.
You can’t be hospitalized when you’re already dead.
I’m leaving this everywhere because it’s important. The majority of hospitalized cases are not hospitalized FOR covid 19. People are admitted for something else, tested for covid 19 and if positive, isolated from the rest of the population. The only hospitalization metrics that is worth paying attention are the number of COVID 19 patients in the ICU AND the ICU capacity.
I cannot believe how fucking stupid our society has become.
They stopped segregated COVID units here because the staff is the primary vector and they’ve all had COVID and are immune now.
I see
pretty girlswhite-supremes everywhere I go, everywhere I go…Rev. Lynce Pinkard and Nichola Torbett led multiple sessions on “Sitting with the Trouble: Spiritual Tools for Ending the Racial Terror,” which was hosted by Stanford University. The events took place every Monday in August and covered how “institutions, policies, practices, and ways of knowing” are permeated by white supremacy.
“White supremacy so permeates our institutions, policies, practices, and ways of knowing that it is nearly impossible to think outside it. The prosaic solutions of governing bodies do virtually nothing–often less than nothing–to mitigate the everyday, ongoing devastation,” the event description states.
The four-week session, offered by Stanford’s Office of Religious Life, lasted from August 3-24 and gave students and participants the chance to “take time to sit with the trouble, to risk being cut by the jagged edges, as we grow our spiritual capacities to be present to one another, to hold one another’s suffering, and to conspire toward freedom.”
Pinkard, one of the speakers, focuses on what she describes as “empire affective disorder,” and helping others by showing them the nuances of “decolonizing” the human spirit. The other speaker, Torbett, is a podcaster focusing on “helping other white people recognize their own trauma and discontent as catalysts for the dismantling of systems of oppression that are killing us all, and killing Black and Brown people first.”

I read it as NBC News/Marxist poll.
Right?? I mean…it is NBC.
“Biden has the advantage on the coronavirus and race relations”
Because people are stupid?
I read an interesting argument that Biden is doing well with seniors because older voters are less inclined to want to believe that he’s on the cognitive decline. It hits too close to home for them. I mean, Grandpa doesn’t want to believe that he might be losing it.
That combined with their panic over the coronavirus and I could see Biden picking off some elderly.
Not if Cuomo gets to them first.
[rimshot]
“duck Martha, someone’s shooting!”
Brochettaward would beat both of them to it.
Exactly why Secret Nazi President released the coronavirus, to pick them off first! BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Or they don’t fill out their “harvested” ballots.
The best I can figure is that Biden is a known quantity. He was Obama’s VP and before that he was a Senator for a long time. Nostalgia + rose-colored glasses = Biden looks like the better candidate. Older people are also more likely to trust the mainstream media, call it Cronkite syndrome.
“That combined with their panic over the coronavirus and I could see Biden picking off some elderly.”
I’m just not seeing this. The community I live in is probably 90% retirees. At 60 I’m the youngster around here. The oldies do not seem to be in the least worried about it, they’re always out congregated and none of them are wearing masks. I just don’t believe it from what I’m seeing.
But some of them are life long democrats and they’ll vote for whoever is D just because of that. They don’t seem to have the slightest notion that the dem party of today is not the dem party of their younger days. And they all watch CNN and believe every word. Let’s face it, for most of them, their cognitive decline is at least close to Biden level and they aren’t learning any new tricks.
*Sees NBC News, scrolls past link*
“Biden overperforms with seniors but lags with Latinos in the key battleground state according to a new NBC News/Marist poll.”
The only reason he’s not doing better with seniors is that the dems haven’t yet sent thugs to nursing homes to terrorize them and drink their prune juice. I’m sure they’re working on that plan.
Compelling argument
“The economic inequities that began before the downturn have only worsened under this failed presidency,” Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Friday. “No one thought they’d lose their job for good or see small businesses shut down en masse. But that kind of recovery requires leadership — leadership we didn’t have, and still don’t have.”
Isn’t this the guy who says, “Elect me President, and I’ll shut down the economy even harder.”?
Biden’s plan is to reduce the GDP to about a dollar, then take credit for a 1200% increase in GDP when it goes up to 10 bucks.
NotTheBee article right there.

I get it. It’s the old “Does a fish know it’s swimming?” approach. They’re going to smash the fishbowl with a hammer, and see what happens.
*I’m guessing the fish will get really pissed off and quite possibly rip them to shreds.
In a perverse way, they’re not wrong. The system absorbs and neuters most reform efforts. The people who work in and around government on a day-to-day basis by and large cannot fathom solutions that are drastically different in character than everything that has come before. Laws don’t get repealed, they get amended. Agencies don’t get abolished, they get “refocused”. Career civil servants don’t get fired, they get laterally promoted. Failure is always the result of not enough money, and there’s always more money to be found somewhere.
The idea, however, that white supremacy or cutthroat capitalism is the pervasive current in which our government swims is absurd.
That’s my cue to head for the hills.
The left is all for empiricism, except when it gets preempted by whatever politically expedient epistemology is fashionable in the ivory tower.

Right-wingers and Trumpsters and Proud Boys, oh my!
The Transition Integrity Project, of course, is heavily involved.
“It is very obvious that Trump is laying the groundwork for claiming victory no matter what,” MoveOn’s director told the Daily Beast. Progressive groups at the end of the day believe in our democracy and, while it is not perfect, believe in building upon it and strengthening it. And we will fight to protect it from what we truly see as a president who has gone off the rails and taking this country down an authoritarian fascist path.”
“One person familiar with the discussions told the Beast that they are worried about right-wing extremists taking action on Election Day, going so far as to warn that armed groups or individuals inspired by Kyle Rittenhouse could show up to intimidate voters,” Fox News noted. Documents, drafted by the Transition Integrity Project and available through the MoveOn group, mention everything from “chaos” to “violence” to “crisis.”
That most of the current unrest — even that which eventually included one instance of so-called “right-wing violence” in Kenosha, Wisconsin — has been perpetrated by demonstrators who identify with the far-left and allegedly facilitated by “anti-Fascist” groups that boast far-left agendas, seems lost on the the “Fight Back Table.”
lulz.
People inspired to defend themselves against leftwing violence! Truly horrifying!
Only white supremacists would do that.
Huh….I am wypipo, and I’m inspired by Rittenhouse. Namely, his willingness to put himself in harm’s way to help others.
If it’s a Trump landslide on election night and they try to find / harvest enough votes to flip it – yes all fucking hell will break loose.
I still can’t decide if stories like this are indicative that the Dems are total dolts for spilling the beans early on exactly what they plan to do, or if it is just complete hubris. They are so confident that they can steal this election that they are telling us exactly what they will do and are daring people to stop them.
The reason they think they can get away with it is because they get away with it.
At least that has been the case so far with relentless lies and constant riots.
And previous elections – the one for WA a while back that was obviously fraudulent comes to mind.
It’s hubris. They have literally every advantage and system on their side and they know it. I honestly can’t wait for the complete and total fraud of the mail in ballots it’s going to turn a ton of republicans into anarchists.
Even giving us their timeline for when the votes will be in and counted after Nov. 3rd. An animated map even. They aren’t hiding the fact that they will be crowned and there is nothing you can do about it.
MoveOn and Transition Integrity Project, two things whose names mean the opposite of what they sound like.
all these people have is projection. It’s amazing.
“Progressive groups at the end of the day believe in our democracy…”
They believe in it so much that they have spent just shy of four years trying to oust a duly elected president.
Also, Transition Integrity Project…
“Just the TIP, America!”
Do these so called ‘Proud Boys’ even exist today, or are they just making this shit up? Seems I remember Proud Boys and it was Gavin McInnes and Lauren Southern and as far as I can remember, there wasn’t anything white supremacist about them.
So now, they just report on any non-leftist or anti-leftist group as being white supremacist.
Then I hear about these Patriot Prayer guys, never heard of them until recently and then I seem to be sensing that prayer+patriot == racist and white supremacist.
“they are worried about right-wing extremists taking action on Election Day”
I’m not sure you can even call that projection. It’s something beyond that.
Everyone knows the left is trying to eliminate racism, ipso facto the right must be pro-racism. It’s simple logic.
It was so much easier when I was a kid. The racists would say that minorities were inferior. Now, They actually have minorities in the groups being called racist. It’s really hard to keep up. Like a bad comedy skit.
You aren’t black or a woman or even gay if you don’t vote democrat. Jeez man, try to keep up!
I don’t remember Lauren Southern being part of it.
“a president who has gone off the rails and taking this country down an authoritarian fascist path.”
A man who has clearly not read the Democrat party manifesto. It is the very definition of authoritarian fascism.
Documents, drafted by the Transition Integrity Project and available through the MoveOn group, mention everything from “chaos” to “violence” to “crisis.”
Straight from the horse’s asses’ mouths.
This sounds like a self-fulfilling prophesy to me.
Nobody Is Switching from Trump to Biden – Kurt Schlichter

I can confirm this. I know several who are voting Republican for the first time, zero who are switching to Democrat.
That checks out. Only people I know going for Biden are fucking nevertrumpers and a guy who went Gayjay last time.
No, and the Democrats know it, which is why they are focusing on suppressing enthusiasm in the traditional Republican base. They aren’t getting those votes, but they’re hoping they can stop them from going to the polls for Trump.

This story should be taught in every high school in Minnesoda. It perfectly illustrates how entrenched businesses use the govt to protect themselves from competition. Bonus: The bad guy is named “Butt” which will make every kid happy.
He doesn’t want to shut them down, he just wants to eliminate any advantage they might have over him.
Seems like he could use that as an advertising advantage but would need to be competitive in price.
In this guy’s mind he’s the hero.
Fuck that guy with a hay hook.

There’s an ice museum in Alaska that was intended to be a hotel, but couldn’t afford the sprinkler system. Because ice is so flammable.
Question -is it the law? Because if he was told (by government code guys that he had to do it, and now others aren’t doing it, then government is disadvantaging him. I don’t like his approach, I think he’s attacking the wrong people, but he has a grievance.
“I do not want shut places down, but my goal is the safety of the venue.”
If this was really about safety, then he wouldn’t be doing this since, “There has never been a fatal fire a Minnesota barn venue.” This is about eliminating his competition, pure and simple.
If you read the article you would have seen this:
Oh, and Butt-boy forgot this tidbit (which was also in the article)
So if the sprinklers do only start when temps are at 160 degrees, it really does seem like it isn’t going to save a lot of lives but would only limit damage to the barn.

Or when I tell my neighborhood lawn maniac that I’m trying to bring back the “natural prairie grassland” and not being too lazy and cheap to do basic lawn maintenance.
Butt only would be for lockdowns if he could make a buck off them.
Yep, I missed that. Butt is a butt.

Today was quarterly meeting day for me, which usually means social justice indoctrination day. Today was no exception, as they spent 75 of the 90 minutes in the call talking about various social justice initiatives and 15 minutes talking about, well, our day jobs.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that my next promotion (currently in the approval pipeline) will likely be my last one, and that, at best, I could get one more above that before I hit a hard cap due to my second class race, gender, and sexual orientation. The pending and unlikely promotions are only to more senior titles in the same role. The chance of me getting to the most senior title before being outed as “lacking allyship” is really low, as they’re working towards making volunteering with social justice organizations all but mandatory. The chance of me ending up in the running for the management role? Near zero. They have bounties in place for hiring minorities into those roles.
The timing keeps slipping back (good reasons) each time I mention it here, but I’m keeping my head down until the end of next year. Use up the benefits, get to 5 years seniority, and then shop around for a company not HQed in the bay area.
That sounds like a living nightmare. Hope you can tell them to shove it soon!
Sounds like it’s time for you to come out of the trashcan.
It’s getting pretty damn close. Currently it’s mostly words. I can live with words for a while. The bounty system is deeply concerning, but doesn’t apply to my situation yet. I don’t plan on staying here when it does apply.
It feels like walking a tightrope. If they push too hard too fast, I’m gonna have to leave before I want to. If they keep adding one-time-only benefits programs that dump money into my pockets, then I’m gonna hang around longer than I should.
Sorry, Trsh. I’m going through the same thing and it’s very frustrating. When an employee freaked out that diversity struggle sessions wouldn’t be mandatory, HR said they didn’t have that power (yet) but to make your voices heard and that could be changed.
They have bounties in place for hiring minorities into those roles.
My company is initiating these too… referral bonuses to be paid on a sliding scale based on a employee’s race and gender. I don’t understand how doing so could possibly be legal but I guess it must be.
Sounds like an opportunity to start a social justice organization yourself. Not only will that ensure that your mandatory volunteerism is as painless as Costanza’s Human Fund, but could also turn into quite the financial opportunity if done correctly.
Basically, your sham organization would sell spots to white shitlords in your area. In return for a small fee, they could get their SJW card checked without having to suffer through any real facetime with true believers. Maybe even go upscale and charge more in return for attending private meetings where you just drank good booze and talked smart with each other.
In fact, the SJW’s might just be the seed that causes real Secret White Men meetings to become reality.
My company has been having these kinds of meetings too. I usually blurt out, “Oh fuck me!” when it starts. Then I panic and make sure my microphone is off.
My company just sent me a reminder that I haven’t responded to my anonymous social justice survey.
So anonymous they know I haven’t responded to it.
I like my boss, but he is going to have to live with his department not having a 100% responses rate.
I like it when I get those. I give a chuckle then delete/toss and move on. Its so anonymous that we will log your IP and you have to use this unique key in the email for the survey we sent to just you.
We once had an “anonymous” survey that asked which project/contract we were on and how long we’ve worked there.
I deleted that with extreme prejudice.
I do the annual survey, but that’s the only one. I also censor myself on there so that I look like a good little drone.
A few years ago our SES complained about the scores coming out of my field office on the FedView survey. My response to her was “you mean that survey that is supposed to be anonymous?”
Even though I am uniquely identifiable due to my demographics, I still send in the survey. Thankfully I’ve had managers that valued the blunt input, and I’ve gotten away with it for the most part. I’ve actually had one call me out by name in an agency wide town hall – “Does anyone have any questions? Nobody? Ok, I’m Here To Help, I know you are biting your tongue, so what do you have?”
This year I think I’m going to skip the survey though. I’m just not feeling that safe anymore…
Anonymous surveys are the best!
I’m terrified of this.
I just got a new job. As it happens, it’s for a previous employer so I *think* I’m safe but you never know. They went private while I was away so maybe that’s a plus I dunno.

You almost have to marvel at just the level of malevolence and corruption on display here.
“It’s shocking, it’s infuriating,” Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, told a local NBC station. “Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”
You wanted repercussions? Ramifications? Hah.
If covid doesn’t redpill someone I don’t know what will. I can’t believe I thought I was cynical before this.
I think (hope?) that the general sentiment is starting to change. I get the sense that more people are realizing it’s all bullshit.
That is why they are hoping, no praying, for a massive body count from Sturgis. If the deaths tick upwards from that event, you can say goodbye to people going back out because the news media will make them fear they can get the VID from their own shadows.
Shouldn’t we be seeing that by now?
I think we are in the window this week and next if it follows the patterns.
Football starts thursday with fans in the stands in KC. I think between that and the SEC it’s on. So many fucking people still think millions are dropping dead seeing people in the stands for sports is going to help change hearts and minds.
They tested a bunch of people in town and found 26 or 27 positive cases, which is not out of the ordinary given the size of the town. They were all asymptomatic. The horror…
They’re already closing schools after one or two weeks. I’m afraid the rest of this year is shot and who knows how much of next year.
We hired a girl that we know from the pet store to walk our dog. We get to work from home uninterrupted and she gets to make some cash while the pet store is shuttered.
Last week, someone at her fiancé’s work site tests positive. They have to self isolate until they get a negative test result. Of course, there’s no testing on the long weekend, so they have to wait until today to get tested. And then wait until they get the test results nfl.
This tells you how serious this really is. The government employees who run this thing can’t be arsed to work on the weekend to do tests, because they’re still getting paid no matter what. Meanwhile this young working couple misses out on several days’ pay.
Fuck it. We’re done here. Open it all back up.
The girlfriend got an angry rant on Facebook from an acquaintance because we went to Cedar Point. There’s still some true believer’s out there.
Ignoring that all the fucking elected officials are ignoring their own fucking edicts (with no end dates… remember when they had announced end dates).
I’m 100% not posting about my trip to SD on Facederp.
(a small part of me wants to post a pic of me in Sturgis, though)
“Shove it up your ass, commie” is the only viable response.
(a small part of me wants to post a pic of me in Sturgis, though)
I hope the proprietor of Wall Drug gets a bunch of mannequins and puts them in a pile and charges a dollar to take your picture in front of them with a caption “Sturgis 2020”
Florida has been mostly open for months and our case load is dropping like a stone. We are officially on green status at my hospital now. Time to drop the kabuki and stop the mask BS.
Smoking meth kills the virus.
Then open up en masse. Seriously, the State has shown that the application of the shutdown orders are arbitrary and capricious. It has to be all of you opening up though, any hold outs will get you shut down once more.
You almost have to marvel at just the level of malevolence and corruption on display here.
You really thought the California Democratic Party was going to play second fiddle to Illinois and New York forever?
Elect commies, get Animal Farm.
Not the Bee.
@JoeBiden: “The only person calling to defund the police is Donald Trump.”
It’s like he’s taking a page out of Trump’s playbook: just saying random shit that obviously isn’t true.
Wow. The debates are going to be fantastic.
This motherfucker is amazing. I honestly can’t wait for the debates where they keep the mask over his face and pipe in another voice to answer the questions. They’ve basically weekend at bernie’s him so far with his scripted interviews and questions I would imagine everything is on the table.
He’s going to supposedly catch the koof and the debates will need to be canceled. They’re not stupid enough to let him debate and it wins sympathy with the added benefit that it’s mean to disparage a “sick” person. He’ll have a tough time of it but he’ll pull through in time for the election but too late to reschedule.
*adjusts tin foil hat*
I can buy that they will have him “catch” it for sure. You can always fall back on a false-positive test result 2-3 weeks later when the media tries to verify it, if they ever actually did their job.
Almost as good as his “I didn’t call for a national mask mandate” spin a couple of days after he said he wants a national mask mandate.
And fracking. Don’t forget that massive flip flop that he’s trying. “I never promised the environmentalists that I’d ban fracking”. But you did say it during a debate and you chose someone who is openly hostile to fracking as your VP.
He has a campaign ad saying as much.
Wouldn’t the body decomposition thing apply to any large mammal? Also, if the effects are only to a 3 square meter area, you’re looking for 300 pixels, tops. So you get your aerial or satellite images, find the glob of pixels with a different spectral signature, and head out to the woods. Nope, it was just a deer.
This is how you win Wisconsin!
I wasn’t paying much attention earlier in the primary process so I never realized just how horrible Kamala is during an interview. She really is unlikeable. And that laugh? Uffda.
Her fake, hostile laugh is psychopathic
Curried Hillary
And in her stupid mask. We’re not gonna see either of them maskless ever again, are we.
Despite being the right gender and skin tone, she ran an abysmal primary campaign that didn’t collect a single delegate.
It was because of the racist/misogynist voters [in the Democratic primaries]!
Before this year, I thought she was a shoe-in to win the primary, then I saw how she actually campaigned and her quick and decisive loss was unsurprising. Now, I am left flummoxed by them choosing her as VP.
Wait, she once lived here? Now I have to vote for her! Now that I know she’s in prestigious company like Ed Gein, Jeffery Dahmer, Joe McCarthy and Collin Kaepernik!
You should have left off Tailgunner Joe and Kaepernik. Then you could have made a strong case that Wisconsin people are famous mostly for putting human meat in their mouths.
If you don’t vote for her, your head’s not made of cheese.
You guy’s just stop already. She’s half Jamaican. That’s why you have to vote for her.
You almost have to marvel at just the level of malevolence and corruption on display here.
Sublime indifference, rooted in unassailable entitlement. They may as well be titular nobility. They are (or believe themselves to be) utterly insulated from little people rules.
I love how everyone’s personality expresses itself in creating unique links.
Andrew Cuomo: ‘Donald Trump Caused the COVID Outbreak in New York’
The lies aren’t even plausible any more.
See Biden above it’s total clown time. They aren’t even pretending anymore. Media is going to talk about Kamala’s shoes and trumps rally that kills millions.
If only Trump had thought to restrict travel and order selective quarantine of individuals returning from countries with known coronavirus cases.
Oh, wait…
If Cuomo had been in charge, there would have been no ban on travel from China and the outbreak probably happens a few months sooner? I mean, it’s more logical than what he’s arguing.
He would have banned travel from Europe, but left the travel from China open and the same outcome would have occurred.
He would not have banned travel from Europe, certainly not in time to matter. If that’s what he’s implying by blaming Trump here, he’s a lying sack of shit.
Did Trump force CV positive people back into old folks’ homes? I’m not going to say Cuomo’s a murderer, just an incompetent fuck who couldn’t see the possible bad outcomes that should have been obvious to even the stupidest of the stupid.
So manslaughter.
*kicks dirt*
*grumbles about no one giving Minnesoda Gov Walz the credit he deserves for killing granny in the nursing home*
I’m tired of this “News only happens in NY” attitude! 75% of our 1800 deaths have been in nursing homes and no one from the coastal elites talks about what a great job we did here.
Is it because we still haven’t gotten up to the 50K deaths what we promised in our second “new and improved” Rona model?
I can forgive a lot of mistakes people made early on, because there were so many unknowns. There are still a lot of unknowns. But that COVID was especially dangerous for old people was known. Assuming he didn’t do it intentionally, perhaps an incorrect assumption, the only excuse I can think of is that he was in the AIDS mindset where he didn’t want to discriminate against people who tested positive.
They knew from the beginning that it was 99.5 % survivable. They also knew that 70% or better would have no symptoms. They also knew that elderly and comorbidities were the most at risk. This was all made public in Feb or earlier.
The simpler explanation, I think, was that everybody told him we had to keep the hospitals from overflowing because OMG ITALY. As it turns out, Italy was not in as a dire shape as people thought, and much of the amplification of that narrative was driven by social media.
These are supposed to be our best and brightest. That’s not how you do a risk assessment and planning.
But they are totally competent enough to run an economy.
The term is “mostly competent”
Anybody watched the raised by wolves show on hbo max?
I won’t pay for it. HBO series have gone to complete woke shit.

The Beatles.
Once in a while – like the Eagles.
John says “what?”
Good point. I think most of their albums were split fairly evenly with one Ringo and like one or two to George.
The Police. Cream. Sometimes Kiss.
The Who.
Not The Who with Entwhistle on bass and Daltrey singing.
Google says: Jack Bruce of Cream. My brain only came up with Rush and Thin Lizzy.
One of my favorite songs qualifies individually, though.

A pretty entertaining run down on exactly how fucked colleges and universities are. (Hint: I’m sure the joke is on us because Big Education will demand that the generous pensions they give out be paid for by taxpayers once the funds collapse).
But I loved this line:
good riddance cock suckers.
must-adds, such as mental health counselors and sustainability officers
Right…
Oh, lemme tell you, k–by the Wednesday of our first week–of the semester when we, a community college, start having dorms–had two suicide attempts from residents of said dorms. This is a pretty good CC district; two new campuses, the dorms on mine, nice areas at each campus, cooperation with 4-year institutions from around the state.
I have said this so many times to my co-workers, but–Kids; if this is kicking your ass that bad, I have very bad news for you about the rest of your life.
I am actually quite shocked that we haven’t had an influx of new hire mental health pros.
“Teaching is the only profession, with the possible exception of prostitution, that has had no productivity improvement in the 2,400 years since Socrates taught in Athens,”
That’s because real prostitution is mostly illegal, unlike “teaching”.
2 brief thoughts:
1. “must-adds”: yep. Tuition goes up, faculty numbers stay fairly flat, faculty salaries bump up. But, let’s go hire another vice-dean of diversity.
2. Generous pensions: true in some states but not all. We have the equivalent of a 401(k): defined input, not defined benefits.
Capital expenditures are part of it, too. Hospitals, governments, and schools are all building much nicer buildings than they did decades ago. Comparing the old buildings and new buildings at my alma mater (UMBC) was quite striking. The old buildings were basic and functional, with not much aesthetic charm. The new buildings look like a large team of architects spent a considerable amount of time on them. The interiors are spacious and luxurious, from the hallways to the classrooms to the meeting places to the offices to the bathrooms, and the ratio of non-classroom are to classroom area is higher too.
STOOPID HUMANS! PLANT FRIENDS NEVER SNITCH ON STEVE!!!
People in the previous thread were questioning how anyone could believe that the Antifa rioting in Portland was really done by right wing white supremicists, much less my wife and mother-in-law.
Here goes:
1) Cognitive dissonance can be really strong.
2) The people in question are very smart, but live in a social and media bubble where they rarely hear, much less listen to, voices dissenting to the agitprop being spewed at them day after day.
3) Voting is easy and essentially costless, since your individual vote won’t change jack.
4) Going against the herd, getting shunned, and reexamining all your core beliefs is costly and hard.
5) It’s incredibly hard to rationally argue someone out of beliefs arrived at emotionally, because those are done by separate halves of the brain that don’t communicate well.
So, once people get indoctrinated, they have to basically get bitch-slapped so hard by reality that they can no longer continue in their delusions. You might need things like rioters burning down your store or calling you racist or locking you in your home to have a WTF moment.
As a former Mormon, I’ve witnessed super bright people clinging to their delusions, because walking away is So. Fucking. Hard.
Checks out they are both religions.
My wife’s hometown of Daegu, Korea was one of the first non-Chinese cities that was hit by the Rona. Since no one really knew much at that time about how deadly the disease was or how it was really transmitted, there was a lot of freaking out at my house. My wife was very scared about the Rona.
Fast forward to now and she is still a Rona panicker. She even still is convinced you can get it from by touching something in a store. Why? Because that was one of the first things that people said. Since she “learned” that while she was scared it is nigh impossible to convince her that touching things isn’t nearly as bad as first thought.
Shoot, I can’t even convince her that the fact that her 80+ year old mother is still alive and kicking is proof it isn’t as bad as they said at first. (She will counter that the reason – other than simple genetic superiority – that Korea has done so well is because they all listened to the govt and obeyed)
they all listened to the govt and obeyed
Trust, as they say, is a two-way street. When the government repeatedly shows that it is untrustworthy, mostly through its employees’ own actions, it doesn’t deserve such obedience. The average government employee in the U.S. is lazy and incompetent and hates his neighbors. That attitude doesn’t get checked at the door when he shows up for work. As long as government workers believe failure is someone else’s fault, that the dumb rubes don’t have to be convinced only forced, etc. things won’t change here. Never mind, of course, that the whole formulation of democratic government is that they listen to the people and not the other way around.
As a FedGov, I can corroborate your statement about the typical government worker.
So you’re lazy, incompetent, and hate us?
Spot on!
Y’all have no idea how much the bureaucrats hate you and want you to stay out of “their” business.
I’d say Congressional staffers and bureaucrats are universally contemptuous of Mrs. & Mr. Taxpayer, and they especially hate it when the Taxpayers show up in DC.
The same trustworthy Korea with a total of one PM who hasn’t been imprisoned?
Look, my wife is one of those weirdo Koreans who don’t hate Japanese down to her bones, but you are on thin ice mocking Korean PM’s.
You will probably be all right as long as you don’t get specific. And if you do have to pick out individuals, keep to the newer corruptocrats. Do NOT attempt to say anything bad about Park Chung-hee. I made that mistake early in our marriage and I got an earful for pointing out that he was a hard ass dictator who did a lot of good things but wasn’t a good man.
The story of his death is some crazy shit. It’s like Idi Amin level.
LOL!
I guess you don’t have too much choice on the Japan thing with the Japanese extended family.
Yup. That is one of the main reasons that she is OK with Japanese. She also went to college in Japan (her BIL paid for it) and that softened her up too.
I’ve had a Japanese class with two different Korean students.
They both did really well with the language.
So there are a few out there. My friend in Japan teaches a Korean woman married to a Chinese man. Her son speaks Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
Explains North Korea.
While labor productivity in the broader economy has gone up since the last recession, measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as output per employee hours worked, higher education has been adding more employees to serve fewer customers.
It’s like Baumol’s cost disease on stilts. Not only are the professors no more productive than they ever were, the universities bring in additional, even less productive, workers and put them on the payroll.
A non-binary gender identifying engineer quit Facebook today. On their way out the door, they cried that Facebook is on the wrong side of history because they refuse to crack down harder on the right:
Remember kids, foreign ad buys are election interference, but censorship, trend manipulation, favoritism, and content warning labels are not.
OMG a Facederp worker quit! STOP THE PRESSES!!
Bye
Awww… little confused fascist wants to impose their viewpoint on others and mean Facebook is not complying hard enough.
I’ve been watching this nonsense at my own company for months. Every single complaint about a Trump ad is immediately forwarded to the advertising team, followed by another long, lengthy discussion as to why our company is not about to ban national political advertising, even if a few wokesters at the company are willing to sacrifice all national political advertising in the campaign to remove all Trump ads. A good 80% of our revenue comes from advertising. It’s like talking to 5 year olds.
Just keep in mind–
hesheit is now a free agent, and will almost certainly be working for, or starting up, a company that will do all this.If it is any good at the job, expect to see a lot more of the bullshit it’s peddling.
Hey, someone picked up Kaepernick:
https://www.npr.org/sections/live-updates-protests-for-racial-justice/2020/09/08/910798422/the-return-of-colin-kaepernick-to-the-madden-franchise
I’d say Madden must be spinning in his grave but a quick search shows that he’s actually still alive. Good for him.
Bold strategy for a game sitting at a .2 on metacritic. It’s well known that gamers are super receptive to SJW stuff in their games. I’m really wondering if they can get it down to a .1.
And EA likely paid Kaepernick a sizeable amount of money for the privilege.
Sports games are an interesting niche. Every year a new game is released that is a trivial rehash of warmed-over content from last year’s release, everybody knows this, the reviews are generally terrible, and yet they still sell a million of them.
Disclaimer: haven’t payed attention or played Madden in years, but supposedly it is much worse this year. Basically there was a huge revolt because there haven’t even been the token updates to gameplay and people are fed up with paying $60 for a roster update. The result is the review bombing that is much worse than for any previous iterations.
If that translates to actual sales, I don’t know, and it’s EA so they don’t give a shit about negative press if it doesn’t effect their bottom line, but it might be a bigger deal this year.
I refuse to buy EA any more. It helps that they haven’t made anything I’ve wanted to buy since 2014, but between so many well-polished turds and so many shitty business practices, I just will not give them another red cent. I’m sure they cry all the way to the bank, but still. That they are wokifying just gives me another reason to hate them.
The Sims 4 (also EA) came out in 2014. I still play The Sims 3.
(Sims 3 came out in 2009! Dayum)
I’ve got The Sims 3 as well though it’s been awhile. The last EA game I bought was Dragon Age: Inquisition which is pretty good. But 2014 is about the time the suck got really bad, as they corpse-fucked both Sim City and Star Wars: Battlefront around then.
I’ll never forgive them for what they did to Dead Space and Visceral Games.
“Here’s a great franchise with two strong games, but we don’t make enough money. Find a way to add in microtransactions and multiplayer to a game that doesn’t work with them. Oh, that game didn’t sell as well as its predecessors, fuck you we’ll close your studio.”
I still have fond memories of EA putting out the coolest games in the early to mid 80s.
I wonder what happened to that EA.
Holy shit, you’re not kidding. (User score, anyway.)
LOL
They gave him an 81 overall rating, as well. That’s better than 17 starting QB’s in the game and tied with Ben Roethlisberger.
This for a guy who was last lost his job to Blaine Gabbert.
I can’t wait to start ribbing my steeler fan buddy about this.
lmao. We live in clown world.
Also, from EA’s website:
TAKE MY MONEY!
I wonder if get to control the players’ position during the national anthem.
On both knees?
Well, come on guys. I mean it’s beyond obvious that the only reason Kap is still without a starting job in the NFL. It can only be racism, because there has never been a starting NFL QB who is black. I mean come on, man!
Madden Now Allows You To Select Greta Thunberg As Your QB
Meh, still probably better than Trubisky
If there’s a way, there will be hundreds of fan videos on Youtube of Kap getting sacked in every possible way.
It is interesting. My MIL, a former nurse, started out very logical about the corona-scare. Didn’t cast if off as just the flu, but also didn’t think it was Death roaming the streets. Apparently, she has moved into the later — that is until we say, okay Grandma, but you can longer come over to see your grand-kids, they will no longer go over there, and we will see you in a few months.
Her response – I didn’t say it was that bad. Just saying be careful out there.
Love it!!
My grandparents are pulling this bullshit, too. They are traveling on a weekly basis. They are visiting friends and all that jazz. But this covid thing is the worst thing ever and it’s the end of civilization and everybody out there defying the executive orders is selfish and probably an idiot trump voter.
“Fine,” I told them, “Ill cancel our planned trip, and well see you again if/when this all blows over.”
Comparing the old buildings and new buildings at my alma mater (UMBC) was quite striking. The old buildings were basic and functional, with not much aesthetic charm. The new buildings look like a large team of architects spent a considerable amount of time on them. The interiors are spacious and luxurious, from the hallways to the classrooms to the meeting places to the offices to the bathrooms, and the ratio of non-classroom are to classroom area is higher too.
At Colorado College, when I was there (mid ’70s), even the “heavy hitter” professors had offices which were little more than closets. I doubt that is the case now.
In my admittedly anecdotal experience, the teachers with the crappier older offices were better than those with the newer fancier offices, and this went doubly so for the non-faculty office staff.
Sounds legit to me.
Remind me again, which President created DHS? I’m sure it was a Democrat, surely the Republicans wouldn’t be dumb enough to… wait, nope, never mind.
So this is the reality we are going to pretend to live in today.
Whoever wrote that should be fired and lose their pension.
That shit has been embedded in the federal government since the 90s. Thanks to Timmy M.
Things you will see a flip on if Biden wins on Nov 3:
– No need to count all the mail in Ballots
– Facebook will not crack down on people declaring Biden the winner
– No one will be forced to eat crow when Trump hands over the presidency peaceably
Things you will see a flip on if Biden wins, on Jan 20:
The gender of the POTUS.
Do you think Trump has a potential Willie Horton moment on his hands, with Biden & Harris meeting with Jacob Blake and ooing and ahhing over him?
Maybe to a small degree, but Blake is at least somewhat sympathetic since he got shot. Horton didn’t have that going for him.
I dunno. They could have Blake’s victim(s) on a commercial and completely obliterate him as a sympathetic totem.
“Jacob Blake raped me, and Joe & Kamala think he’s a hero.”
Just get the woman that Biden assaulted to do the interview with Blake’s victims.
I don’t like to blindly accept the cop’s ( or the victim/girlfriend’s) version of events. All I need to know is the fucking guy had his knife in his fucking HAND as he was forcibly fleeing into a car full of kids. All he hadda do was let himself get arrested and he’d be way better able to fend off attackers in prison. I put small stock in the charges he faced. His dad’s a douchebag, though, no doubt. Number one rule, don’t think you’re gonna kick the cop’s ass and thereby escape.
When Bush the Elder did that in 1988, it was endlessly trumpeted as horribly racist. That accusation may get more traction in the current environment.
Later, when hindsight kicked in, it was generally viewed by pundits & pollsters as quite effective.
Blake is no hero regardless of his crimes still being prosecuted.
Biden & Harris calling him one & cozying up to him, even as an accused rapist/abuser is not a good look and should be used against them.
It’s the “MeToo” hypocrisy here that needs to be hammered.
I think the woman directly involved in his recent incident is now calling herself his fiance. She probably wants a piece of the settlement. Maybe they can find some others.
Ghetto lottery
He had three kids in the van, and I’ve been wondering how many women were involved in the formation of his family. His mom & dad have been on the news, but not his wife.
Pimp shaming ain’t cool Juris. Hate the game not the playa.
Man, as if that was my biggest beef with his judgement as a man, or human in general.
Yeah, I saw that bit already about Kamala calling the meeting an “honor”.
Now she’s just insulted every dignitary/grand high poobah she’s ever met or will ever meet.
Sorry (not sorry) for being crude, but if she really respects someone, she gets on her knees.
I saw that earlier in the dead thread.
As I remember, it was saying that Horizontal told the guy ‘she’s proud of him’.
Proud of him for what?
Having warrants out against him?
Being accused of breaking into someone’s house and violently attacking them?
Getting into a fight with the cops and being shot? That much we know is true, it’s on video.
Now, all of that being said, this guy is still presumed an innocent man.
It’s getting harder and harder these days to even figure out what actually happened in a situation, because you have the media dead set on spinning a narrative that is their narrative.
The first I heard about it from one of the alphabets, all I would have known is that the cops showed up and this guy was trying to check on his kids in a car and the cops just gunned him down for no reason other than he’s black.
Seriously, we don’t even have a media anymore. What the fuck is the half Jamaican proud of him for? Is he getting a Nobel Prize now?
I’m not sure why they’re even wasting the time. Didn’t Biden already tell the colored that if they don’t vote for him, they ain’t black? I thought that would have already taken care of it and now they can move on to solar panels and windmills.

I think Matt Taibbi rivals Scott Adams for having Trump (and support of Trump) figured out.
He has no shame, will say anything, and experiences morality the way the rest of us deal with indigestion.
As opposed to “real” politicians, who would never say anything just to get elected, and wrestle daily with morality? Yeah, no.
I think a big part of his appeal is that while he says some outlandish things, and is certainly a salesman, at the end of the day when he declares his love for America and says he wants to make it great… he goddamn means it.
Which is absolutely meaningless until you define America and Great. An actual White supremacist and an actual Commie shitweasel could both say those things and goddamn mean it. Jingoism and populism are a hell of a drug.
I just read your avatar/profile pic. LOL

Great – Stuff I like.
That was easy.
*writes in Scruffy *
This ↑ nails it when considering his appeal to many Americans more than whatever the hell Taibbi is going on about.
Fatty, that just proves his salesmanship. And yes, politicians are a subspecies of salesman – they just don’t believe they are (and think they are above that). Trump knows what they are and cuts them to shreds because he is better at it.
He’s also got no idea what MAGA fucking means – but he knows you and others will buy it.
Id rather a salesmen sell me a shit sandwhich than a politician sell me hope and change disguised as a shit sandwhich.
Don’t blame the salesman for what people will buy.
True. I was always amazed when I was in retail sales at a sports store at what our resident BS artist can get people to buy. I would just shake my head in amazement. There is a reason for the saying “sell that person a parka in hell”.
I like Taibbi, he’s wrong as often as he’s right but he’s a principled leftist a la Jimmy Dore. I can respect that at least.

It’s not how dumb he is, it’s how dumb he thinks you are.
There are even some lefties in there chiming in saying he could have taken the train-to-nowhere money and used that for forest management and pollution-reduction. LOL
I’m not convinced he isn’t that dumb, the man’s a focus group slathered in hair gel and poured into a thousand dollar suit.

It doesn’t take a lot of brains to mouth the platitudes that the people who are greasing your governorship want to hear.
Political. Corruption. Is. Real.
True. Probably a bit of both.
The comments aren’t much better.
He probably doesn’t even do his own tweets. That’s a kind of a unique Trump thing.
Yeah, I doubt he touches twitter at all. This tweet could’ve been fed to him, but the “register to vote” one was obviously some twentysomething PR hack typing it in.
He is dumb. The problem isn’t forest management as much as it’s mandated “clean energy” The electric companies are mandated to spend a huge percentage of receipts on solar/wind. It’s so much money, they can’t afford to upgrade the power delivery lines. A little wind and the lines touch, presto! Forest fire. Most are caused by 100 year old transmission lines running through deep forests. After that kind of time, the poles just crumble under any stress.
Anyway, there’s so many variables contributing to acreage loss, only a dedicated team player or a fool would ascribe it to the slightly warmer climate. Fires that threaten highly populated areas get put out NOW! If it’s burning the middle of nowhere, they focus on the other places. Damage seemed far greater last year because it hit population centers. Who cares if empty acres burn? Plus, multiple fires at once tax the firefighting system and therefore burn more area. We have so many fires, it’s a season, LOL!

I think Melania is weird looking and has some uncanny valley about her. Mooch looked more “real.”
But Melania rarely goes wrong on fashion and the examples in the tweet were almost all white except for the inaugural cape, which was ice blue (might as well have been white).
She, unlike Mooch, does know how to dress and she’d make a burlap sack look like a million bucks.
My wife thinks Melania is more mannish than Mooch.
#fakenews
Put them side by side down a catwalk.
That’s interesting. I never thought of it that way, but I think more androgynous, maybe.
Is Mooch is supposed to be former first Lady Obama, or Anthony Scaramucci? After the Joan Rivers videos and a few photos, my husband is convinced that Michelle is actually a man.
Because she’s built like a linebacker?
It’s the Adam’s apple that convinces him.
That is no excuse for not looking better than a drag queen.
How many men pass for women every day? And she couldn’t? Poor effort.
It was that, the Joan Rivers video claiming Michelle Obama was the first transgender in the White House, and this video that finally flipped him to convinced that Michelle is a man.
But you’re right, Mojeaux. Having visited several drag shows in my younger years, they did way better jobs of it.
Michelle could never pull off this cape blazer dress.
https://twitter.com/MsBlaireWhite/status/1302389321102745606
“Because she’s built like a linebacker?”
More like a cornerback. She isn’t big enough to play linebacker.
Moochelle Obama.
My issues with her are the lunch menu and her inability to look better than a drag queen.
I remember what she wore on election night 2008 and the little cardigan/shrug thing that she had the designer add to the dress. I’m sure the designer was horrified to have to alter the look to frump it all up.
Vicious. *note to self: cut nose hairs before next zoom*
She ruined that designer’s thoughtful work! It was a nice dress without the cardigan, IIRC
The school lunches thing pissed me off, too, even though I always packed for my kids. That’s actually one of the reasons I *like* Melania; I don’t give a shit about how she looks, although I think she’s pretty. She picked a really generic cause like “don’t be mean to people” and hasn’t tried to legislate from the bedchamber. Clinton did her best to rewrite our health system from a totally unelected position, and Obama tried to dictate what children eat. Fuck them both.
I can’t even remember what Laura Bush did.
Shit, me neither. I think it was something to do with literacy?
Yup–libraries.

Its like we took all our collective medical knowledge and dumped it at first sight of Coronovirus
The last 20 years of helicopter parents created this mess.
I love how befuddled they all seem to be about masks. Lessee, it’s a respiratory illness. Is there some way it’s spread by facial emissions? NAH, couldn’t be! If we ask everyone to wear a mask, will it help? Nope, lets strongly discourage them for now, we can always mandate them later! Then, we’ll have lengthy debates about HOW and which to wear. Of course, people will be totes careful to dispose of them in a timely and effective manner.
Fucking maddening. Nobody is doing it properly and it doesn’t matter because they ain’t helping anyway. The “experts” had no idea about any of this because there was no advance warning we’d have a bug that come from people’s lungs. None whatsoever. There has been no studying done on the efficacy of masks in preventing the spread of respiratory disease ever. Its a miracle anyone bothered producing masks before this happened. So much is unknown, you know?
We’ve never really had to contend with a virus that affects lungs before. Well except those half a dozen other times, the one’s where almost nobody wore masks and we seemed to weather it just fine. This whole fucking thing is like a Marx brothers skit. These people are truly retarded.
In a sane and logical world, people would have picked up on the BS about masks 5 months into the pandemic. We do not live in a sane and logical world. No one likes to be called a sheep, but we are just that. Sheep.

Wrong place, this was supposed to be about the trump ad.
Figured that. Just do it Trump. Just recall them all. Who is going to say no? You are the CIC. Give them a mission stateside. God as my witness I would campaign for him if he did that one act.
I’d vote for the SOB if he did it. But just as he doesn’t have the spine or attention span to be a dictator, he will “order” it only for any number of subordinates to countermand it, for reasons. There is a reason Obama and his confidants sneered at The Blob – the govt doesn’t really work for the President. He can’t fire anyone below the appointee level; can’t reassign them and can’t take the money away from them. He’ll be there for 4, or at most 8 years, and they’ll all be there the rest of their careers.
And we citizens repeatedly indulge the fantasy that sending the right outsider will change all of that. Reagan ran on it, Obama basically ran on it and so has Trump. You can even go back to Mr. Smith Goes to Washington – that’s our collective fantasy.
I agree JI…I agree. The ambassador is the right move though in the right direction.
Why is such a terrible human being the only rationale voice on our foreign entanglements?

“Not-the-Bee”
Jesus, that shit is straight up Byzantine.
This is the kinda stuff that Lefties have been telling me for years is a ridiculous slippery slope fallacy.
And it won’t stop with just the film industry if it’s allowed to metastasize.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why these people need so many g’damn awards for the same work. Why the hell do you care, folks? Hell, half of the awards get ragged on constantly in various TV shows for being worthless–it’s virtually its own meme.
It’s almost like wondering why anyone still wants to go to an Ivy League school, considering the prestige is almost worthless, itself. And, it can’t be about the quality.
I think of it like a factory that has a great reputation but recently fucked up their assembly line and started making bad parts. It takes a very long time for the company to actually start feeling the repercussions of that – the bad parts have to make it into the hands of consumers, the defects must be realized, word about these defects must gain traction and become widely known, and consumers must change their brand loyalties.
The same thing goes on with college. For centuries, college degrees were a fairly reliable indicator of a good employee, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth looking at someone who graduates today. The Marxist infiltration of colleges was very gradual, and it’s going to be likewise for those indoctrinated students to start percolating through the workforce. Then we have to wait for employers to make the connection and realize that “they don’t make ’em like they used to”, then develop other means of vetting and evaluating job applicants. THEN, at long last, the colleges will start losing customers and wither away (that is, if the government doesn’t prop them up somehow).
I’m still predicating (and rooting for) a major collapse of the higher education system, which will be replaced by a combination of intensive online courses, self-guided study, job skills testing carried out by employers, and a small amount of classroom/lab instruction for hands-on fields. Things will get much better if people can move into a career without spending five or six figures a year to go to these ridiculous medieval institutions when they can accomplish the same result by spending a few thousand bucks maximum to learn it online.
I agree, with one tweak to it–with communication being as instantaneous and global as it is now (the intertubes), I expect, rightly or wrongly, for the word to spread a lot more quickly than in years past.
I’ve worked with a number of ivy league grads back 20 sine-odd years ago. These were all super-bright Asian guys who got in based on their grades and performance and not the usual WASPs who get in to the school based on their father’s previous attendance there.
I have also met a number of WASPs who most probably got in based on connections. In all cases the main reason one goes to an ivy league school is for the future connections to others working in the top echelons of your chosen industry. Those connections help maintain one’s career and give one a network of highly placed people to contact for business opportunities.
This is what bothers me, I suppose–that it still has this cache that far outweighs what is actually earned by attending.
So it turns out that Orange Bad Man is the most anti-war president we’ve had in 50 years. Whoda thunkit?

Trump’s remarks came Monday during a White House news conference.
“I’m not saying the military’s in love with me,” Trump said. “The soldiers are, the top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs & make the planes & make everything else stay happy.”

Good grief, did he use to be a hippy or something?
Remember when he started World War 3 by killing some Iranian jerkoff in Iraq?

(did ABBA ever have a Swedish song?)
When ABBA sang “Waterloo” at Melodifestivalen (the Swedish qualifier for Eurovision), they sang it in Swedish. English lyrics were written for Eurovision, and the rest is history.
I didn’t realize that it was the rule for only a couple of years in the 70s allowing artists to sing in English if they’re not from an English-speaking country and that the rule was re-instated only in 1999.

The 1801 State of the Union Address was written by Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, on Tuesday, December 8, 1801. It was his first annual address, and it was presented in Washington, D.C, by a clerk. He did not speak it to the 7th United States Congress, because he thought that would make him seem like a king. He said, “Whilst we devoutly return thanks to the beneficent Being who has been pleased to breathe into them the spirit of conciliation and forgiveness, we are bound with peculiar gratitude to be thankful to Him that our own peace has been preserved through so perilous a season, and ourselves permitted quietly to cultivate the earth and to practice and improve those arts which tend to increase our comforts.” [1] During the address Jefferson proclaimed the Washington Doctrine of Unstable Alliances.

The Karens have been trying to get rid of trick or treating since I was a kid.
+1 razor blade in the apple
I knew an old lady that swallowed a fly. A pro but my Levis are ruined.
A boy cast out his fly line. A trout tugged on the fly and it dropped in the water. A cat noticed the fly and was curious and jumped in the water. Moral of the story? When the fly drops six inches, the pussy is sure to get wet.
Or something like that.

Huh…
CNN can’t even say that when Trump says Biden voted for the Iraq war, it is true. Instead it “needs context”. As stated, TMITE
https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/08/politics/donald-trump-north-carolina-rally-fact-check/index.html
Don’t know what context you need…here is his vote….
https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=107&session=2&vote=00237
And here is their defense…18 years after the vote, and when it seems politically expedient….he ‘regrets’ it.
But Trump said contradictory gibberish on Stern’s show about the war when he wasn’t even in politics. It’s Same!
And gunz
“Trump said that Biden wants to “confiscate your guns.”
Facts First: Biden’s gun control plan does not include confiscating legally owned weapons but would mandate that people who own assault weapons either properly register them with the authorities or sell them to the federal government, along with other measures.”
And Robert Francis who will be his gun czar said he’s coming after them.
“Properly register them.” Hm…that implies that people are currently not properly doing something. As in, they are breaking the law. Which isn’t the case. So what policy does Biden actually support? Oh, yea…an “assault weapons” ban.
I skimmed the article, but this jumped out at me:
Because their entire argument against Trump’s handling of covid is that he allowed states to make their own decisions.
The whole article is bullshit.
WHATABOUTISM or something else I should scream at you!
You see, they are just reporting that someone else suggested that. Every minute of the day. They pull this trick all the time to have their cake and eat it too. Never forget how much they love cake.
A celebration
WTF?

That video is racist.
Just peeked. Holy shit it’s garbage. Too much to unpack.
Good for the owner!
And, “death threats”?? If that is true, that means (brace yourselves) that there are people out there hoping that Nancy notices them and that they’ll fuck.
Yeah–sweet dreams, folks.
The Great Salon Setup of ‘20. Truly a historic moment in our nation’s history.
It’s as Mark Steyn said today:
Historic moment in history.
I should be whipped through the streets for that.
I, uh….I don’t know how to respond to that. Hoo, boy….
Also, Howdy!

I don’t understand, anything.
Straff, you look mighty fine, with that shaved head look!
Dafuq is wrong with this kid??
I don’t understand, anything.
I don’t understand, anything.
Awesome. I wanna see that kid in a crack/whore house.
I hadn’t thought of that…..until now, of course.
It will haunt my dreams….Right–dreams.
Unfortunately, he’ll probably become a politician.
Oooooohh….right in the feels, man.
/you are correct, of course
Puppy syndrome. He is exploring the world by putting everything in his mouth, learning by using his sense of taste.
His dumb ass needs to learn by touch (being restrained) and hearing (being told to stop, multiple times).
All I can say is, if that had been my mom trying to control him, the belt would have been out and applied in a flash.
looks up thread, um, well, this may be more than I would like to know about you.
Hey–I never said I would do so.
I mean; unless I’m asked.
I know that “I” want to eat some fecal, snot-laced cookies with Grandma.

Twitter is a mad bitch.
Is that, like, some kind of sex code?
It’s the set up. You make a lame joke early on a popular account, you get the love. It’s a stupid game to play.
That’s how it’s done! Of course! It’s so simple…

Everything else is stupid. I’m doing music links after this one.

A fucking classic, yet still relevant jam. YouTube pushed a Biden commercial with it. ?
Campy as heck, that. Mornin’ Sean.

This song will never not be cool.
It reminds me of this, and thereby effectively the end of Matt Leblanc’s career as an actor.

Solid rock.
Time to get ready for work.
Already trying to bolster their case with some tax gotcha? If Chauvin is objectively guilty of anything in terms of his professional conduct, I expect that to be punished to the full extent of the law, but this is shaping up to make the OJ trial look like a shining example of the American legal system.
It’s how they got Al Capone.

I heard this on the radio yesterday and thought it was pretty groovy and chill.
Not bad. Never heard of her before.
Pardon me if you’ve heard this; sometimes I live under a rock for a few days and I miss the “news”.
This one reached out and smacked me with its brazen rewrite of history in real time. And the rewrite is coming from the unelected state, not the media!

Yup, far right ideological ideas such as individual rights, the foundation of Nazism. It sucks having grown up with a reverence for the ideals of the Constitution and to then see how the fedgov works against them. It’s probably always been that way but at least for now the internet still provides somewhat uncontrolled access to information. Sad
I’m not saying, I’m just saying—if any of you lot ever receive a message in some medium or other from The Digital Pimpernel, don’t ignore it.
*insert Homer gif* “You really don’t think much of me, Boy…”
Heh. So The Academy Awards just now realized that they have lost any credibility and just now woke up from their coke binge? They see what Pro sports are doing and spring to life, “Hold my farts, I’m going in!”
“I know a way we can become even more meaningless than the Grammies!”
The VMA’s say “You step on my turf I’ll cut a Bitch!” So fucking tiresome.
For the amount of hate QAnnon gets from the media, you kind of think that maybe there is a pedophile ring.
Nothing is too far fetched anymore. A few years ago, I’d have thought such a notion is ludicrous.
Now, I’m merely skeptical.
My skepticism lessens daily.
I just assume that everyone is out for themselves and keep my Special Shades on. Shame about the softheartedness, though. Trips me up even still.
I look at the Catholic church, repeated child sex abuse scandals (read about Ireland sometime), Penn State, USA gymnastics, Harvey Weinstein, Michael Jackson, Rotherham, the BBC asshole, and Epstein. I think it’s reasonable to suspect a pedophile ring. In all of those cases, people knew what was going on and either looked the other way, or even protected it. I don’t think the Qanon people are crazy.
It’s akin to the child porn rings. All of these people seem to know each other and the little fish always eventually get caught with their dick in their hand. Funny how the hornet flies right through the spider’s web but the mosquito always entangled.
The mosquito didn’t kill itself.
Sure he did. He was bad at being a mosquito. Hornets have no such fears.
My bit of brain that has some optimism left wants to reject it, but evidence is stacking up.
Also, in every one of the examples, some of the abused came forward and reported what happened (often separate reports from different people, years apart (YEARS!)), and were brushed off.
And, all those people are connected. Lots of pictures of the Clintons (and Trump) with Weinstein and Epstein. I bet we could find more pictures with the BBC guy or Sandusky, etc
One more thing. All I know about Qanon is the pizzagate stuff as covered by the Washington Post. So, I don’t know all the wackadoodle stuff. But, the idea that there is a pedophile ring operating at the highest levels of government, academia, and Hollywood? That’s not crazy.

Uh-oh. My Province just rolled some freedom back because of the big scary. Expect more from now until November or whenever The Twink In The North decides to actually restore our Parliamentary system. They want to steal your election but our ruling party just wants it to go away. Poor Justin, he’s like a certain kid that I know that held a house party that quickly grew out of control and now all he can do is wait for his parents to come home from their week-long getaway to survey the damage.
Did he suspend the possibility of “no-confidence” votes or whatever it is that triggers elections under Parliamentary systems?
Best Parliament.
Not yet, he’s still dithering and having his people make deals for him. And yes, I do dig some Funkadelic.
By the way *Paul Harvey voice* that kid from the party turned out to be… Festus! Now you know the least… of the story!
Honestly, if Angry Dad Doug Ford actually rolls us back a “stage” and we just take it and smile we’re done.
Refer to avatar.
Though, to be fair, it should be a lil bit quicker.
Poor Joe.
Sounds like me on a Glib-Zoom. Sad.
Jesus.
That’s just pathetic. I stick with my assessment: the DNC is throwing this one.
‘Morning everyone.
I look at Joe Biden and just think the Democrats are not serious people. Not if this is the nominee.
Morning.
Well, Glibbies, I’m off to get ready for work.
San Diego has been OK so far, with one smallish fire to the southeast.
But it’s supposed to be very windy, gusts up to 40mph, so wish us luck.
I’m just happy that terrorists, domestic and foreign, haven’t realized what level of devastation that one single match could cause.
Good luck!
Stay safe and unsinged!
Well, Portland is making sure they do know. https://mobile.twitter.com/PortlandPolice/status/1303544462136586243
Fire! BAAAD!!!
Plot twist. I love it.
That cop should reconsider his life choices.
