I think we use Teddy Roosevelt’s face on Mt. Rushmore the same way the Nazi’s used the Sphinx.

 

Fall is fading, the polar vortex has once again missed Southwest Idaho and gone where it belongs. Montana.

 

And they’re still trying to Raine on our parade.

 

You what cops and firefighters have in common? They all took the fire service entrance exam.

 

You know you’ve always wanted to know.

 

The jokes, they write themselves.

 

And for you auto enthusiasts.

 

A little Grateful Dawg for tonight.

    You know you’ve always wanted to know.

    It won’t be anything like a SugarFree post.

    • Rebel Scum

      Work her into the story.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Yes please

    PA has a law that bars must have food service. There’s a couple of places where they may technically offer food, but you would need to pay me a hefty amount of money to risk eating it.

    Here in Ohio, fall is finally here with rain all week most of the leaves finally changing (I still have several fully green trees in my yard) and fairly large crowds at the candy store.

      There’s a couple of places where they may technically offer food, but you would need to pay me a hefty amount of money to risk eating it.

      That made me think of Taco Tuesday at my college dive bar… 3 tacos for a buck. Bars in VA had to have a certain percentage of food sales, and I think they could use the fair market meal price and not actual sales price for calculating the percentage.

      Regardless, those tacos were still no bueno and I ate way too many.

      • Nephilium

        Those scofflaws!

      • Ted S.

        Better ingredients, better tacos?

        Well sure lol

      • UnCivilServant

        There’s too much liquid for either of those glasses to hold individually. That’s a mess in the making.

        And that poor guy’s out of work right now. (At 12 second mark.)

    I really didn’t.

    I like to go fast but that seems…excessive. I couldn’t see driving that on the street.

    Dermatologists say the 78-year-old Senate majority leader’s black-and-blue bruises and bandaged hands are likely a common condition called senile purpura.

    Or his wife beats him.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      My skin does that now, bump me I bruise, any harder I bleed, thin skin, age,

      • slumbrew

        My cousin is on blood thinners after a bypass a number of years ago (in his 30s!) – he bruises unbelievably easily now.

      • Fourscore

        I take an 81mg aspirin daily, for over 30 years now. The slightest bump on my hands and they look worse than Mc Connells. I’m left handed, the skin on the top of my left hand has permanently changed to a darker pigment. Those bumps don’t hurt, only make things look uglier. The skin is so thin that a small scrape will start bleeding.

        Things could be worse. I could have the Biden curse.

      • Rhywun

        Wow. I was completely unaware this is a thing.

        I guess I ain’t seen nothing yet at 51.

      • UnCivilServant

        It’s an anticoagulant. So you bleed more, even when the bleed is under the skin.

      • UnCivilServant

        And I just realized how stupid I was… the plebotomist messed up drawing blood, so there was a nasty bruise in the area. And I went and kept taking apsirin for the pain, wondering why the cruise took so long to go away.

      • Fourscore

        You’ll see a lot of older folks that have multiple bruises like that, from the constant blood testing or intravenous injections. McConnell is not exempt.

      • Rhywun

        Now that I think of it, I did exit the hospital recently with all kinds of bruises but I was on IV for days – one of them in particular was brutal, potassium, I think – plus a couple dozen other stabs so I didn’t think anything of it. Not having a baseline to compare it with.

        What sort of wierdo are you? You’d probably get off on that.

    A few months later, Bormann was forced to confess to his wife, Gerda, that he’d fallen “madly in love” with his mistress. Gerda, instead of being stung, had a novel solution. Why not establish a polygamous household together?

    I could have a blonde and a brunette…

    On second thought, I don’t need two women syncing up and lashing out at me during a particular period every month.

    But will she dress up as a sexy witch?

    First lady Melania Trump announced Friday that the fourth annual Halloween at the White House celebration would take place on Sunday.

    In this spooky celebration, the White House grounds will open up to costumed trick-or-treaters, specifically those from families of frontline workers, military families, and local schoolchildren with their parents, according to a press release from the White House.

    • Ownbestenemy

      I think she should do a covid protester with only a mask on, but thats me.

  10. The Hyperbole

    The company is currently planning to produce 100 Tuatara hypercars to sell to customers.

    They set the production car record with a car they plan on producing, shouldn’t the car have to be available to the public for it to be a “production car”?

    • The Hyperbole

      Anyone got more than the 24 second clip? I’m willing to eat my hat if he isn’t referring to voter fraud prevention and the full context will make that glaringly obvious. But yes lets “very fine people” Biden. Turn-about being fair play and damn consistency and whatnot.

      • Ayn Random Variation

        I think the point is that he will read whatever they give him to read. It was probably a typo.

        Transcript of the interview. He’s a rambling, babbling ass, but you may be right.

        First of all, go to iwillvote.com to make a plan. Exactly how you’re going to vote, where you’re going to vote, when you’re going to vote. Because it can get complicated. Because the Republicans are doing everything they can to make it harder for people to vote. Particularly people of color to vote. So go to iwillvote.com. Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for President Obama’s administration before this, we have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. What the president is trying to do is discourage people from voting by implying that their vote won’t be counted. It can’t be counted. We’re going to challenge it and all these things. If enough people vote, it’s going to overwhelm the system. You see what’s happening now. You guys know it as well as I do. You see the long, long lines in early voting. You see the millions of people have already cast a ballot. And so, don’t be intimidated. If, in fact, you have any problem, go to and I don’t have the number, but it’s 833-DEM-VOTE. The letters D-E-M-V-O-T-E. Call that number. We have over a thousand lawyers, over a thousand of them answering the phone. If you think there’s any challenge to your voting, go to 833-DEM-VOTE. Dial those letters on your phone that will get you the assistance that we have already put in place

      • Ownbestenemy

        Republicans are doing everything they can to make it harder for people to vote

        How Joe?

      • Rhywun

        Particularly people of color

        Yeah, right.

        Go fuck yourself, racist Joe.

      • db

        I sincerely doubt Joe would be in a position to know about an organization within the Democratic party dedicated to committing election fraud. The whole idea is to have fraud or unethical behavior buried down a few levels. There are never any orders, or direct instructions to commit fraud. That stuff disappears as you get to the top. It may be encouraged or expected, but the leaders sure as hell don’t want to know about any fraud going on now.

        They may know all about the fraud that occurred as they were making their way up–certainly, because they were likely to have been the ones committing it in the past. But now? Nope.

        It’s all about plausible deniability. It happens in the corporate world, and it happens in the government world. The underlings are expected to do whatever it takes to get shit done, and to take the fall if it goes sour. The potential reward is they eventually get a chance at being top dog, if they are good enough to not get caught, and to deliver results on the way up.

      • Ayn Random Variation

        Good analogy. My cocksucker of a boss at a big bank, that has the same name in reverse as an 80s WR, never put anything in writing/email until the day I was presented with a performance review full of lies that couldn’t disprove.

      • Fourscore

        Look, do it, I just don’t want to know about it, OK?

      • Ayn Random Variation

        yup. Just get it done!

      • Agent Cooper

        Your boss’s name is Ecir YrreJ?

      • hayeksplosives

        This is about how I imagine it works.

        Thanks for writing it up.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        We have over a thousand lawyers, over a thousand of them answering the phone.

        You know how they staff these phone banks? By hitting up companies like mine, pretending to be non-partisan. I know more than a few who volunteered for this project.

      • Ayn Random Variation

        The equivalent to what you’re saying would be if Trump said “Nazis are fine people”.

      • prolefeed

        The phrasing that wouldn’t be problematical would be “anti-fraud”. Which he didn’t say. So, the smart play is to run hit piece clips showing Biden saying the actual phrasing, along with other problematical phrasing clips, a few days before Nov 3rd, and make Biden try to walk back what he actually said.

      • Ayn Random Variation

        Nobody would cover it anyway so it really doesn’t matter. I just thought it was funny that he read/said that and didn’t even pause to correct himself. He’s not there.

      • prolefeed

        Since the MSM won’t cover it, Trump should cover it by paying for the clips to run. Which leaves Team Blue forced to answer it, or take the hit by losing voters who have a WTF moment watching the clips.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Well…thats gonna leave a mark when the ballot counting lawsuits start.

    • Cy

      For context… or something:

      Dan Pfeiffer: One final question for you, Mr. Vice President. This interview is going to come out
      tomorrow, which is early vote day. And so I’m going to ask you a two part question, which is what I think
      President Obama used to call pulling a Chuck Todd. So part part one: what’s your message to the folks
      who have not yet voted or do not yet have a plan to vote? And, part two, for the folks who have already
      voted, the 50 million Americans who’ve already voted, what can they do over the last 10 days to help
      make sure that you’re the next United States?
      Joe Biden: Well, first of all, you know, what really rankles my opponent is I say that the thing that
      bothers them most is he’s not a patch on Barack’s jeans. I mean, Barack is one hell of a president. And I
      tell you what, man, what an honor it was, I think you guys believe it, too, to serve with him. An
      incredible honor. And I’m not being solicitous. I really mean that. He had more integrity in his little
      finger, than most people have in their whole body. And he had a backbone, like a ramrod, has one. But
      one of the things that I think is most important is those who haven’t voted yet. First of all, go to
      iwillvote.com to make a plan. Exactly how you’re going to vote, where you’re going to vote, when you’re
      going to vote. Because it can get complicated. Because the Republicans are doing everything they can to
      make it harder for people to vote. Particularly people of color to vote. So go to iwillvote.com. Secondly,

        “Dan Pfeiffer: One final question for you, Mr. Vice President.”

        Huh. That’s weird. I thought that Mike Pence is vice president and Biden is running for Senate? I can’t keep up.

      • slumbrew

        I find the lifetime title annoying.

        Not that I checked, but do they refer to him as “Vice President Cheney” these days, or is it back to just “Mr. Cheney”? “Vice President Quayle”?

    So today is the start of Cleveland Beer Week. This year is… not good for it. They were offering up a mix 12 pack of participating breweries, which wound up with a bunch of standard (and easily findable) beers that broke down to $5 a can with home delivery. Sunday was traditionally one of the most looked forward to events with a donut and beer pairing menu at a local place. At least there are some events still going on, and some specialty beers being released (I’ll be looking for them next time I’m at the store).

    On Tuesday, the Ohio Craft Beer Association is doing Ohio Pint Day with a pretty nice glass available (which is state wide).

    • Ownbestenemy

      Im trying Dead Guy Ale. Not bad..not my normal cup o tea but it will do pig.

      • slumbrew

        I don’t drink much beer these days, but I’m a big fan of Dead Guy.

      • Nephilium

        Not my favorite, but I’m also not a big fan of Rogue brewing. They’ve got a couple of good beers, but they keep renaming beers and putting them back out there. They also use the same (Pacman) yeast for all of their beers.

        Currently on a tripel from a local brewery that I’m in the delivery range for, and this was their secret “beer of the month”. For $6 a 6 pack, I can drink the hell out of this.

        I’m planning on making it up to the Troeg’s pop up bar and potentially the Abita one (not because I’m a big fan of Abita beer, but I really like the Bourbon Street Barrel Room’s food).

      • db

        Have you had Troeg’s Java Stout? I liked it. In fact, Troeg’s hasn’t struck out with me for a long time, all their offerings are quality.

      • Nephilium

        I have, I’m a big fan of it. I’m hoping for some of the Mad Elf variants to be on tap (which will mean I’ll need to get someone else to drive). Christmas Ales are a big deal here in Cleveland due to the legacy of Great Lakes (which is canning their Christmas Ale for the first time this year).

        Of course, the one with my favorite name is from Saucy: Three Hos.

      • db

        When I was working on my instrument rating, I flew up to Burke Lakefront with my instructor, and we took a cab to Great Lakes. It was Dec 23, and the place was packed. The most excruciating 3 hours waiting for a table, waiting for food, and not being able to drink any beer! We stocked up at the gift shop before leaving. That year, it was really difficult to get the GL Christmas Ale (which is awesome) in PA, so I bought 2 six packs (the limit) and flew them home.

      • Nephilium

        Depending on how long ago that was, that whole area has changed for the better. There’s now a dozen breweries within a mile of Great Lakes (and four closer to Burke now, including one of my favorites).

        Here in the suburbs even the hole in the wall pubs get a keg of Christmas Ale at a minimum every year. It also usually means it’s the most dangerous night to be on the road as all of the people switch from Dortmunder Gold, Bud, Miller, or Yuengling to a 7.5% spiced ale.

      • db

        I’ll definitely have to check out the ones near Burke. I was up there in 2014 I think. Still can’t drink when flying but it’ll make a cool fly-out destination, and there’s a baggage compartment for a reason!

      • Nephilium

        db:

        Let me know, I’ll gladly pick up a round. Right near there is also Masthead (solid brewery, if a bit overpriced), Southern Tier (same owner as Victory and Sixpoint), Hofbrauhaus (big overpriced chain), and Butcher and Brewer (good meat based food and beer).

      I’ve been hearing this defund the NPR my entire life, my cynical side says they ackshually want them around so they can fund raise/campaign on it’s existence every four years. Like the NRA ackshually liking when the left pushes gun control BS because it boosts their fundraising/membership.

  16. prolefeed

    Stupid rental car company meets stupid governor’s mandate:

    We return the rental car. As we enter the long line to board the shuttle, we see the shuttle warning sign, saying you need to arrive there 3 hours before your flight, because the shuttles are running slowly because have to be at only 50% capacity.

    Warning people who can’t time travel back.

    And the rental company has four shuttle buses, two of which are sitting there unused, because apparently they don’t have drivers for them.

    And so people wait a long time in the cold, standing maybe a foot apart, conspicuously not antisocial distancing, to board the half capacity buses.

    Which were running at 100% occupancy three days ago when we arrived.

      You don’t understand global climate change. If it gets warmer — it is because of global climate change. If it gets colder — it is because of global climate change.

    The oldest gold medal Olympian practiced that most Glib of sports:

    ***
    Oscar Gomer Swahn (20 October 1847 – 1 May 1927) was a Swedish shooter who competed at three Olympic games and won six medals, including three gold. Swahn holds records as the oldest Olympian at the time of competition, the oldest person to win gold, and the oldest person to win an Olympic medal.
    Biography

    At 64 years and 258 days of age, he became the oldest gold medallist ever, a record he still holds.

    The origin of corn-fed cows

    ***
    The single-grain experiment was an experiment carried out at the University of Wisconsin–Madison from May 1907 to 1911. The experiment tested if cows could survive on a single type of grain. The experiment would lead to the development of modern nutritional science.

    In 1908, it was shown that the corn-fed animals were the most healthy of the group while the wheat-fed groups were the least healthy. All four groups bred during that year with the corn-fed calves being the healthiest while the wheat and mixed-fed calves were stillborn or later died. Similar results were found in 1909. In 1910, the corn-fed cows had their diets switched to wheat and the non-corn-fed cows were fed corn. This produced unhealthy calves for the formerly corn-fed cows while the remaining cows produced healthy calves.
    ***

    ***
    Hibernating bears are able to recycle their proteins and urine, allowing them to stop urinating for months and to avoid muscle atrophy. They stay hydrated with the metabolic fat that is produced in sufficient quantities that satisfy the water needs of the bear. They also do not eat or drink while hibernating and live off of their fat storage. Despite long-term inactivity and lack of food intake, hibernating bears are believed to maintain their bone mass and do not suffer from osteoporosis.

    Worst paragraphs from the article:

    UN Women calls domestic violence during coronavirus the “shadow pandemic,” citing confinement as something that fosters tension and creates strain at home. With nationwide closures and restrictions, women are more isolated and separated from resources. The organization claims that from April 2019 to April 2020, some 243 million women and girls (aged 15-49) across the world “have been subjected to sexual or physical violence by an intimate partner,” and it predicts this number will significantly grow as the pandemic continues.

    “The global cost of violence against women had previously been estimated at approximately USD 1.5 trillion,” according to UN Women. “That figure can only be rising as violence increases now, and continues in the aftermath of the pandemic.”

    The 1896 Raines Law was designed to put dreary watering holes like these out of business. It raised the cost of an annual liquor license to $800, three times what it had cost before and a tenfold increase for beer-only taverns. It stipulated that saloons could not open within 200 feet of a school or church, and raised the drinking age from 16 to 18. In addition, it banned one of the late 19th-century saloon’s most potent enticements: the free lunch.

      The usual problem with air guns is the seals which are generally some plastic/nylon/polycarb and wear and/or age poorly. In many cases even if you stock up on replacements those will age whether used or not. With some materials you may be able to fabricate replacements but that’s a pretty big “if”.

    • Derpetologist

      If all the big ammo plants shut down, I can imagine a power struggle to control sources for black powder. Depending how much of the world economy collapses, there could even be a return to something like a flintlock. Or maybe some kind of weird hybrid like using a 9 volt battery and steel wool to make a spark.

        Black powder used to be made by people out in the sticks. You just need a natural source of sulfur. Charcoal and saltpeter are man made.

Honorable mention to the fat swinger couple looking for a devil’s 3 some.

    I think the most depressing one I ever saw was a gal who simply said she was pregnant and needed money for a crib. And then there was the shemale with a 5 o’clock shadow complaining about Trump.

    An abyss of endless sorrow, it is.

      That could be Spot the Not worthy.

      • Derpetologist

        Capital idea, but I think I gave most of it away just now.

        I could always do more research. Was it online dating that numbed me to derp or derp that numbed me to online dating?

        So many questions…

      • hayeksplosives

        Some questions are best left unanswered

    • Derpetologist

      When I visit my parents for Thanksgiving I’m going to show them the pics Red Dragon style.

      DO YOU SEE?!

    • Festus' Mustache

      Good God Man! Go to a tavern and wait until last call at least. That is fucking horrifying. Did you reply? 🙂

      • Derpetologist

        Yeah, I’ve tried that too. I’ve been the last guy out of a bar about a dozen times. The closest I got was a conversation about architecture with a decent-looking gal right before closing time. I name-dropped Le Corbusier and she seemed impressed. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure she was a girlfriend of one of the bartenders. Oh well. I tried.

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Oh yeah, the Army banned us from bars because of Wu Ping Cough. Whatever, I’m trying to keep my booze-free streak going. 50 days and counting! Yay me.

        I’ll date pretty much anybody. The most surreal moment was being told by a fat, pink-mohawked, nose-ringed, heavily in debt gal who lived with her mom that she didn’t want to settle. Ho-kay then.

        Another time, the gal was pretty, gave me a bag of candy at the end of the date, texted me back first afterward, but for some reason, I couldn’t get her to go on another one.

        My last date was in August. She seemed nice but gave me the thumbs down. Also living with parents, also in debt, also in late 20s with no degree. But I guess I’m just not good enough for them.

        Better alone than with bad company.

      • Festus' Mustache

        Don’t settle. Settle in! Do you do any kind of co-ed activity like softball or bowling? DEG likes to swing dance. Maybe some sort of charity work? Lot’s of ladies with big hearts and big asses involved with that and nary a mohawk to be found!

      • Derpetologist

        I did Peace Corps 13 years ago. Dated a gal who also did that once. I give blood often because I’m type O and I know it goes to wounded soldiers. Or at least it’s supposed to.

        I dated a girl from Zimbabwe. We had a connection because it turns out some Swahili words are pretty close to Shona, the main language in Zimbabwe.

        Zimbabwe is a garbling of nzimba dza mabwe, houses of stone. The same phrase in Swahili is nyumba za mawe.

        Zombie is a garbling of the Lingala word nzombe, which refers to a person forced to work fields at night by the spell of a witch-doctor. They awake very tired and with no memory of it. Sort of like a combo of slavery and date rape.

        And now you know.

      • Chafed

        I’ve got to believe you are fishing in the wrong pond. I was never a ladies man. I had plenty of bad dates. At some point I just decided I wasn’t going to settle. I upped my standards and stopped taking shit from prospective dates. Things mostly went better after that.

      • Derpetologist

        I’ve dated about 50 different women, almost all of them I met through online dating and all my girlfriends I met online as well.

        Bars and nightclubs don’t seem to work unless you’re tall, good-looking, and/or extroverted. I’ve been out of school for a while and I don’t go to church, so those are out. The gender ratio in the military is not favorable, but there’s a slim chance.

        Although I’d like to get the pension, the Army hassles are on the rise. I can get out in a year and then move on to Wyoming. That’s where I want to be anyway.

        I tried a gun owner dating site, but the interface was practically useless. Maybe it’s time for Farmers Only.com?

      • dbleagle

        If you want to punt on active duty keep the Army Reserve and National Guard on your radar. The money is pretty good for time spent. Plus you get to keep commissary/PX privileges’ and the reserve TRICARE rates are hard to beat.

        Now that we aren’t mobilizing people like crazy the odds of spending a year in Upper Shitstain have come way way down.

      • LCDR_Fish

        Based on when you came in, I’m doubtful whether you’d even be eligible for 50/50 – but guard reserves still pay put when you hit 60 (my current plan).

        Otherwise, make sure you max out the matching TSP BRS funds.

        And he’ll, if you feel like it try what I did and go OCS in a different service. AF has stupid GPA reqs but Navy doesn’t care.

    Just opened a series of e-mails from Head Office and one of them was instituting a mask mandate. Texted my “Supervisor” that I will be ignoring any future correspondence from “Ayo”. Fuck you. I wear a mask when needed for really dusty jobs, not so the HR department can check me off a list.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Thermometers were passed out so we can take our own temperature daily. I asked my boss if I was getting a sippy cup as well.

      • Festus' Mustache

        Anal?

      • Gustave Lytton

        Uh, no just oral.

        Funny about that. I got a contactless one (because I don’t feel like worrying about cleaning the oral one every day) and one of the selling points was I didn’t have to undress to us it.

      • westernsloper

        Wait……you are supposed to clean them?

      • commodious spittoon

        Oral or rectal?

      • commodious spittoon

        Man. Sick minds think alike.

      • Festus' Mustache

        This day has been the shit but at least there was one win.

      • Gustave Lytton

        No love for armpit temperatures?

    • l0b0t

      You’ll wear your face-diaper and you’ll like it.

      • Festus' Mustache

        No. No I will not.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Festus already goes commando below the waistline, sunshine.

      • Festus' Mustache

        If it ain’t Toobin, it ain’t worth the Lubin’.

    • Festus' Mustache

      They also wanted a list of all the equipment on-site. Oopsie! Guess who just lost the contract for Canada Post?

      • Gustave Lytton

        Guess who just lost the contract for Canada Post?

        Themselves?

      • Festus' Mustache

        Yep. They are the third company that I’ve worked for at these sites. I really don’t need this disruption right now. I have a handshake deal with the existing contractor so that I was able to work at day rate rather than hourly but in turn I had to join the union. I’m a leetle skeert for the future…

      • Gustave Lytton

        Was trying to make a postal joke that Canada Post lost their own contract and screwed it up.

        I need more whisky.

      • Chafed

        Why? What’s that got to do with your job?

      • Festus' Mustache

        Parent Company taking inventory of assets. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. It took me about twenty minutes to feature but I’m dull and a little tipsy.

      • Festus' Mustache

        If existing contractor loses, the new one will 90% hire me on or conversely, replace me with two tiny Asian ladies. It’s all in my head so far but inventory of assets usually means bad shit coming down the pike.

    • Festus' Mustache

      I wanna be her lap-dog. I also want to lick that weird mole on her chin.

    • PieInTheSky

      it does not, in fact, look at all fun. it looks uncomfortable,

      • Festus' Mustache

        That’s just because you’ve never lived with a semi-hot blonde, in a van, DOWN BY THE RIVER!

      • PieInTheSky

        indeed I have never been a filthy hippie

    • Chafed

      I loved that show. I still miss it.

      • Festus' Mustache

        Yeah, back when comedy was allowed to be funny.

    • Festus' Mustache

      Hold me sexy avatar of Mojo, I’m skeert!

      • Festus' Mustache

        I appreciate the nipply hugs.

    I reverse engineered mcdonald’s internal api and I’m currently placing an order worth $18,752 every minute at every mcdonald’s in the US to figure out which locations have a broken ice cream machine

    Almost 10% are currently broken.

    • Festus' Mustache

      The Planet is Burning and yet you have time for this?

    • Gustave Lytton

      That actually doesn’t surprise me. Their machines always seemed unreliable when I would eat there more often than I should.

      I miss when their milkshakes were served in ordinary drink cups without whipped cream or extras.

  45. Festus' Mustache

    The coyotes are singing again tonight. I wonder how many naked Honduran children are shivering upon their backs?

      Camp Pendleton has been doing a lot of nighttime booms.

    Whelp, just call me thread and job killer and be done with it.

      Not me. But some of us.

    Vote Biden if you want to wear a face mask until you die. ???

      What’s a hardcore three month lockdown among friends, eh?

      • Sean

        Montana’s dailey infection rate is up 500%

        500%

        No actual numbers given on the news, but 500%!!!!!!

        Shut it all down. For the children.

    • Ted S.

      I was flipping through the college football games and the two political ads I saw were:

      A farmer telling me to vote Biden so he continue to force me to subsidize his farm that Trump allegedly destroyed; and

      Grainy video telling me Biden and Harris are “fracking liars”.

    Who was the guy here the other day who was in a similar vein lamenting being from the island of misfit toys? Hugs to him.

    So, which of you sickos have watched the Hunger Biden doing drugs and having sex with hookers videos?
