You got it. I’m still asleep.
Yeah, these links are Covid effing free.
And we’re not talking Catherine Zeta Jones.
It’s assholes all the way down. (Warning: Daily Beast trigger alert)
It’s not real money unless it starts with a “T”.
Don’t they have lots of orphans in Thailand?
This should be worth a couple extra stars on the Yelp review.
What else would I post? Have a great day, Glibbies!
I thought that Costco story was a misprint when I hovered over the link.
PETA, man…
The company shared a 14-page document with the outlet titled “Monkey-Free Coconut Due Diligence Assessment” that claims 64 randomly selected farms out of 817 were not using monkeys for coconut harvesting, the outlet said.
SMOD, TAKE US AWAY!
Ancient Chinese secret, huh?
^^^Nice
Why do they hate gainful employment for our primate friends?
Because PETA is full of the worst people in the world who think pets are slaves, and kill more animals then they rescue in their “shelters”.
As you know, Mr Ilium, I am aware of the loathesome character of People for the Unethical Treatment of Humans.
P.U.T.H. doesn’t really roll off the tongue. Unless you are Sylvethster. “I think I’m a cat… Meooerrr. Yep! I’m a cat!”
Speaking as the guy who literally wrote the book on these PeTA assholes – I can confidently say this bit of assholery doesn’t even make their Top 100 list.
Also, “Forced Monkey Labor” would be a great band name.
How do you force a monkey to labor – do you spank it into submission?
I LOLed
My sister lived downstairs from a PETA “employee” in Norfolk for a few years. The cult member would spend her Friday evenings leaning out her window screaming MEAT IS MURDER at the people frequenting the steakhouse across the street.
Jesus. I would have bought a long bamboo pole and skewered a hot dog on it, raised it up one floor and waved it back and forth in front of her stupid, ugly face.
I like you.
Tasty, tasty murder.
*Homer drool gif*
There’s a dick joke somewhere in there.
“Would you shut up already, trying to murder my meat down here!”
Can’t be. I’m not at church.
Well, lady, *my* meat is murder, anyway.
Hope they don’t find out about the “Egg Farms”, where eggs are grown in non-traditional ways.
Hey Fourscore! Daughter #1 is completely Countrified, now. She’s all about the chickens. When I told her that one of the eggs she gave us was twins she nearly burst. Bad girl/City girl is a Farmers Wife now. She’s raising her blended family right. There’s hope for tomorrow. Chop some wood for me in celebration!
When I was in middle school, my friend and I created a satirical “charity” group known as SSWA — Student for Slaughter of Worthless Animals. We even created the SSWA Bears — which were like evil versions of Care Bears as mascots. They were not very woke to say the least.
I am voting for Biden after seeing this ad for the dnc and Biden!
The Biden ad that’s annoying me now is showing how filling out a bubble (completely and with black ink) and dropping it into a drop box can turn off Trump audio.
The one that gets me is the one that just simply states, in song, “Joe Biden: He’ll always be your friend.”
Same as our elected officials are “Working Hard for Us”
Most of them are nonentities that fell into the job, just like 90% of the rest of us. Then you have your Hillarys and Kamalas. Those are the ones that you need to set out the Claymores for.
Nice.
I love how she didn’t write anything on the
whiteColonialist racist boardpassages discussing Facebook, Twitter and Google’s prioritization of profit over their responsibility to safeguard democracy from hate speech and disinformation.
Aaaaand done.
You were expecting better?
Infuriating, isn’t it?
SPUD! Nice to see you this morning!
Obligatory.
I embrace my assholery and encourage you all to just accept yours and join in the fun.
I hope all of you have a fantastic day! I woke up kind of fired up this morning – I have a feeling gloves will be dropped!
Satisfaction will be demanded.
For you, then.
Hope those ain’t work gloves…’cause I ain’t pickin’ ’em up.
gloves will be dropped!
Minnesoda nice!
I can’t get to the shower and will die if someone doesn’t make coffee
“The new documentary “Assholes: A Theory” examines the assholing of America, a nation ruled by the biggest asshole of them all: Donald J. Trump”
I hope they talk about elites who think any behavior they don’t like is being an asshole
Democracy only exists when the credentialed mendacious and inept elite class – which includes the billionaire masters – get their way. Anything that isn’t part of the flow where the serfs do what their masters tell them they want and will like, is not democracy!
*glances at television, sees a BLM commercial with all these pasty white people raising their fists, thinks, yeah it’s all Donald’s fault*
Well, technically he is in charge of the Bureau of Land Management.
Remember Finicum! Oppose BLM.
It’s always thirty seconds to midnight somewhere.
I think the first Borat movie proved that, far from being a nation of assholes, this is a nation PAINFULLY polite to people in most circumstances.
I know he’d never include it, but people should respond to any of his personae with “You were never funny, Mr Cohen.”
You are correct. Those whom he portrayed as rubes were mostly just people trying to cling to decorum. I don’t find it very amusing and in fact find it quite cruel. Karen/off
According to CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who broke the news on his network on Wednesday afternoon, “We did not know this until today.”
This. Is CNN.
Why are people so excited to know who it is. Isn’t that who was always suspected?

So the Zeta hurricane isn’t going to give me throat cancer? *fist bumps*
It’s just going to stretch out the grey and rainy days here in Ohio. It’s getting a bit tedious.
We’ve got snow on the ground. Half of our summer stuff is still outside. I’m a terrible homeowner.
Ahh, but the good part, m’boy, is that you’ll be the first one in the neighborhood to be ready in the Spring. You da man!!
This is how the hurricane snuck into Louisiana.
I managed to cut my fucking finger and after I got the bleeding to stop I managed to drop some weight on exactly that finger and restart the bleeding. this is not a good day goddamnit. It is extremely aggravating to be pissed at your clumsiness but not have anything you can do about it.
there goes my drink less resolution.
Uh…Cheers!

Say, you’re not about 80 or so, are you?
Maybe in Metric Years.
I smashed my knee on the ice while doing an Ovi one timer last night. Somehow my shin pad shifted as I shot. Hit hard enough to tear instead of cut the skin and right on my kneecap. Adding to the pain is that it was a rocket and hit the post, so it doesn’t even count as a shot on net.
Now I get to zoom meeting about hurricane response all day while rotating ice packs.
Ovi one timer – I have no idea what this means but the knee sounds nasty. at least it was doing something cool not something stupid like me… but I guess my finger will heal reasonably fast
Sigh.
Here you go.
that guy is Russian. are you guys a bunch of Putin stooges?
Maybe Irish up your coffee?
And Toobin up your meeting?
One time we were playing pick up hockey sans most pads and I fell full force right on my * button while skating backwards at speed. I managed to yike yike yike my way to dressing room and bleed out of my fundament for a bit. Went back to the game and the chirping was pretty epic.
I hate falling on my asterisk button.
You’ve witnessed me on Zoom.
LIke this, except hurting myself and not scoring…

Where are you that leagues are still going?
Michigan. We played all summer on the down low. Whitmer finally allowed rinks open in September. The funny thing is that when we were playing ‘illegally’ the bar at the rink was open. Now that’s it’s open, the bar is closed for sit in beers.
Youth leagues are going, but they have to wear masks under masks (eyeroll).
Yeah, things are going here, but the rules are insane. At first, we were supposed to get no closer than 10 feet from the goalie.
WTF?
INFORMER! Don’t tell him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Heh.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSffz_bl6zo&ab_channel=RHINO
I knew it would be the fluffy white pride of Toronto 😉
so one timer means in hockey the puck comes and you just hit it without stopping it? didn’t know that
Use super-glue to close it.
Works like a charm.
Can confirm – best use I’ve found for superglue.
I’ve never been able to get superglue to work on anything other than skin.
It works on everything, unfortunately the fifth fundamental force, the Strongest Murphy Force, causes it to instantly leap to exposed skin
Assholes, man. They’re everywhere.
I want to go to a live show.
Without a mask.
Fuck 2020.

That’s pretty slick. I never saw those movies, or any of the viral marketing before, I don’t think.
Git ’em, Bubbles!
Is it bad that when I saw the idiot give the poor ape the gun I rooted for the ape?
I stopped watching that idiot show “The Walking Dead” after 2 episodes for this very reason: the people involved were stupid and assholes, and I ended up rooting for the fucking zombies.
Which one is the monkey? Either that is staged or I just watched some of the stupidest primates on the planet.
True. We’re all apes here. It was a viral marketing campaign for one of those Dawn of the Rise of the Beginning of the War of the Rise of the Planet of the Primates movies.

Romania passed 6000 covids in one day for the first time.
Only a matter of time now before Putin takes the land with no resistance since anyone who could have resisted will be dead. If only you guys hadn’t elected Donald Trump, none of this would have happened.
Better lock down.
Just to be safe.
Governor Cuomo laughs.

Romania has that many people?
You all have vampire immunity, though …
Sources say
Three officials in President Donald Trump’s White House said the administration, despite publicly denying it, is actually pushing for a herd immunity strategy to the COVID-19 pandemic, although it could kill thousands of Americans unnecessarily, The Daily Beast reported.
Three senior health officials told The Daily Beast that the administration is taking the step to push that strategy into policy despite public health experts and doctors warning that the strategy would result in many more people getting sick and dying.
Public health officials have repeatedly said that a herd immunity approach would be dangerous and potentially catastrophic.
“This is simply wrong,” Marc Lipsitch, an epidemiologist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, said on Twitter on Monday. “Herd immunity is not a strategy or a solution. It is surrender to a preventable virus.”
One source told The Daily Beast that while the administration has been careful not to use the term “herd immunity,” their policy efforts focused on the idea that vulnerable Americans should be protected while everyone else is able to get exposed and potentially infected.
…the idea that vulnerable Americans should be protected while everyone else is able to get
exposed and potentially infectedon with their lives.Crazy talk. We don’t really need a functioning economy. Or a functioning society, for that matter. We have our money printer, and our magic hat.
“This is simply wrong,” Marc Lipsitch, an epidemiologist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, said on Twitter on Monday. “Herd immunity is not a strategy or a solution. It is surrender to a preventable virus.”
We can’t do the thing that is obviously going to happen!!!!
Do tell, how is this “preventable”?
Uh, preemptive suicide?
Also, this whole vilifying herd immunity makes no sense, but it is obviously the new lefty taking point. I was talking to my mom a week or so ago and she said “are you one of those people who thinks herd immunity is the answer?”
At first I was flummoxed, but realized that the NPR poison was working its magic on her. “Mom, what is the point of a vaccine?”
Crickets.
This shit needs to be over.
Put everybody in sealed containers for a month.
Airtight.
While they’re at it, tell me how “immunity” is not a solution.
Because the ‘problem’ isn’t coronavirus.
Nuke the Chinese virology labs?
“Do tell, how is this “preventable”?”
If you would just vote democrat and give up all your rights, it will go away. Stop being so stubborn and do as told!
You mean the hysteria peddlers will do what they did when Obama was president and always bury or spin stories to make it sound like all was fine no matter how criminal and corrupt things got?
It’s become clear that these lockdowns are not about the virus. I mean we always knew that was the case, but now the credentialed elites are turning everything we know about virology upside down to continue supporting these tyrannical policies. I think this is a major turning point… not just merely going along with it but actually changing everything 1984-style to continue supporting it.
I posted this last night but I’ll throw it up again since it relates to what you said. That Ms. Tam wasn’t fired immediately for submitting this piece of garbage tells me almost all that I need to know about what’s going on up here.

More from up north… help me out, maybe I’m missing something. Can anyone find even a single number or statistic related to hospital capacity in this entire motherfucking article? Even the “what we fear!” example in NYC is an anecdote rather than numbers.

On the positive side it seems like there are some people in the comments there who noticed this as well.
It is surrender to a preventable virus.
You can’t stop the spread of any other corona/rhinovirus. This one is no different, hence the original premise of “slow the spread” (until you cuntes got your power boners raging). You are not an epidemiologist or you are lying.
Right. Explain to me again how a virus roughly as infectious as the common cold is in any way ‘preventable’.
If you want me to fucking love science, how about you trot out some scientists that aren’t complete idiots?
It is endemic, has been since November.
Technically, it slid from pandemic to endemic somewhere around May, once the peak in deaths passed for a given locale.
I can’t wait to read the Wall Street Journal on 11/3 about “the terrible economic news and outlook we just found out about.”
I get too much time off.
IF I take two weeks in november, one week in december and three weeks in may, at the end of the may vacation, I will still have four (five) weeks worth of vacation (plus one of personal) leave when I get back.
That’s almost French. But I have to take some of it, because I’m approaching the “Use it or lose it” threshold. I’m not giving New York any of my compensation back if I can avoid it.
I know a cabin in the woods, no phone, no mail, no TV.
IT’S A TRAP, UCS!
I happen to know that the neighbor living next to that idyllic cabin in the woods is a crazy coot who is mean to census takers.
Well la-di-dah! I don’t get any vacations. If I take any time off I have to work twice as hard when I return.
I have a corrupt and inefficient employer.
“I get too much time off.”
Join the private sector. That will remedy that.
I’m private sector and I get 4 weeks of vacation a year. I can only roll over 1 week to the next year. I have a hard time using it all.
My rollover limit is 300 hours, and Wuhan aborted my planned 2020 vacations, so I have been bleeding it off.
So in some good news for those of you who still listen to radio:
ESPN Cleveland says station will no longer talk politics
It appears that there’s at least some backlash to sticking politics into everything.
“The network has since relaxed the rule amid the protests against racism and social injustice that took place over the summer.”
So they went back to babbling leftist points and their audience snowed them under with “shut and sport!” and they finally got it.
Quoting Sowell…
Stupid sports fans wanting to watch and listen to sports talk. Don’t they know they could be bettering themselves by listening to their wise ESPN hosts?
And we’re not talking Catherine Zeta Jones.
Supposed to be heavy rain and 20-30 mph winds with up to 50mph gusts here at peak. Seems high after all the time on land but I suppose it is pretty fast moving. So we’ll see.
Glad it is moving so fast, with the amount of rain that is still going to get dumped today.

He did that on Rogan. A true smart guy pulls that off without being so obvious but he’s just a hacker-punk and it shows in his appearance and speech.
They’re publishers and that’s all there is to it. With that, nail them.
There is some interesting formatting on that page as it loads for me. The station logo at the top is tiny, the headline disappears behind the picture, and the author’s picture at the bottom is yyuuuuge.

The “I once was lost, but now am found” vote
This year, strategists are wondering about Biden voters in red states and counties who are not waving signs and are keeping their views relatively quiet, but who could help the former vice president not only win states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, but also other states Democrats lost to Trump in 2016, such as Iowa, North Carolina and Georgia, where the vice president visited on Tuesday.
“There is a lot of evidence that they do exist and they’re everywhere,” one Biden ally said.
——-
Tony Fratto, a veteran of the second Bush White House, said there are definitely Republican voters out there who are supporting Biden but aren’t talking about it with friends or neighbors.
“They’re not shy with me, because they know how I feel,” he said.
Fratto said the fact that there are high-profile Republicans breaking with Trump could help other voters feel more safe in quietly voting against a party they have long identified with.
“We’ve never seen anything like this,” he said. “And it does give people cover to know that there are prominent Republicans publicly out there. There’s comfort in that.”
——-
“Part of the Biden appeal from day one has been the ability to pull in a broader coalition of voters, including Republican fence-sitters who feel alienated by President Trump,” Payne said.
The Florida Republican who spoke anonymously to The Hill also feels “pushed into a corner” by Trump.
“I never ever thought I’d support a Democrat. It’s not who I am,” the Republican said. “But this was the only option.”
Millions of Republicans who have just been waiting for permission to vote Democrat are out there. They’ll turn their backs on kkkapitalist racism and thievery, and embrace the loving benevolence of the Green New Deal.
Utter bullshit. I live in a deeply rural, deeply conservative area. The kind of place where every neighbor and nearby pastor swarmed our house within weeks of moving in to see if (((my family))) would join their church. Even out here, marxism has spread like a virus and there are some Biden supporters. I know this because they are not quiet.
One neighbor rants about Trump every chance he gets. Although heavily outnumbered, there are some Biden signs on some very nice houses. I see VOTE! sharpied on some patrons’ masks in stores. No one hassles any of these Biden voters.
^^ Many rural leftists have a savior complex and have no ability to shut the hell up about their politics.
Yup. I see plenty of Biden signs in my semi-rural Utah town
It’s just leftists in general.
They’re enlightened and want you to know it.
It’s progjection. Now do Trump voters in heavily blue areas…
They are trying to flip the script.
It’s a class divide. Pretty much every working class person I know over the age of 25 is voting Trump or someone else not dem and are open about it. Every Biden voter I know is a by the numbers stereotype.
Millions? Probably not.
But I do think there are a lot of moderate conservatives turned off by Trump’s crassness. And they’ve been convinced (or are desperately trying to convince themselves) that Biden is a decent man who will restore dignity to the WH. I don’t know how many of those people there are but Biden doesn’t need millions, just a few thousand in the right states.
Shut up Shut up Shut up!
Biden is a decent man who will restore dignity to the WH
There is no reason to believe such a thing, and abundant evidence to the contrary.

But Trump is the threat to democracy and a white supremascist secret Nazi….
Democracy, like bipartisanship, to the left means they get their way. This is like someone posted the other day about realizing after they had a conversation with their 2 year old that to the 2 year old “fair” meant they 2 year old got their way…
I think that was my kid. Unfortunately she’s 23 now and still thinks that way. You can imagine how well things are going for her.
Funny you say that. I had a conversation with a neighbor just the other day about his daughter. She too is getting kicked in the teeth by the life decisions/choices she makes, and she gets mad when her dad points out to her that the common denominator is her and her insistence that the world conform to her reality rather than the other way around. My advice to him was that eventually something will happen that makes it click, and she will join our reality. Hopefully before the damage is so monumental that it is unsurmountable. But he told me he was not sure even that could change the indoctrination she got from our public school system.
Made me glad I spend the time deprogramming my kid when he was in school and he is not one of these participation trophy envious of others types.
Yeah, my dad spent a good bit of time contradicting my schooling, but he’d probably spend a lot more time if I were in school now. We did read Ayn Rand’s Anthem sophomore year of HS, so it couldn’t have been that bad.

Predictably, tEh gUaRdIaN is most concerned about private industry having any access to this sort of thing, rather than governments, because that’s not so much of a concern at all I suppose.
Artificially cooling the planet, in the hopes of buying humanity more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

youtube recommends the weirdest shit… I understand some of it but this one baffles me… why do I get a youtube of some chick renovating a cabin in the woods? Is living in the woods even safe in Minnesota for a single woman?
This channel also seems to have van life videos. I remember a discussion on some links thread involving blondes and living in a van by the river but I don’t think I googled van life… or maybe I did and youtube thought I was interested in it? Anyhoo like all weird recommends I am linking it here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8wOHjbklhU
“Is living in the woods even safe in Minnesota for a single woman?”
Considering Minneapolis has tuned into a war zone – car jackings, robberies, drive by shootings, and hobos jacking off in public (the politicians) – are now everywhere and no longer only in the no-go zones, the answer here might be that the cabin in the woods might be safer. Especially since STEVE SMITH is now moved to Minneapolis…
” Is living in the woods even safe in Minnesota for a single woman?”
If you saw the ladies at the Log Cabin bar in Podunkville sharpening their chainsaws you wouldn’t fear for them, perhaps just bring in your own chain saw and have one of them just touch up the chain a little.
I just want to thank SugarFree and SP for that fabulous CYOA story. I don’t posses the vocabulary to express how much I enjoyed the many readings so far.
My life in 2020 – https://youtu.be/yF17b8ghUdM
That is going to be my morning reading. If you no see me tomorrow night you’ll know why.
Still plowing through it, skanky and frivolous all in one, well done.
I recently read the election 2016 coverage by SF and have to say I got odd looks from my coworkers from time to time. Largest gawfa came from the medical priest demanding 10 kilograms of orphan meat. “She’s not a Libertarian!” I had to stop reading at work after that, no one needs to see me laughing like that, they may wonder what I’m laughing at.
Scranton Joe.
So the super rich with agendas invest their money in the candidate that is the easiest to buy favors and perks from? SAY IT AIN’T SO!
Well when your 1.2 billion controlling the guy, girl who’s bringing the carts out on a, on forklift, then four more years of George. I mean the voter registration physicians. Why am I talking to this black girl? Do I know her from Scranton? One nation, under you know, The Thing, for real. It’s clobberin’ time. I’m a proud Demagogue and I’m running for Senate. We got a whole voter fraud organisation and I’m your husband and the kids would stroke my legs like a, like, like a, like a- If you ain’t black you can’t vote. Bring it closer I can’t read- the glare – yeah that’s better. Kama- Kaahmal, uh, I’m Joe Scranton and I endorse Harris Biden for president. Where’s the piece of shit son of mine? Boy he fucked up real bad. I’m gonna, i’m gonna, i’m gonna, uh – Jill I think I smell the roast don’t let that n*gger cook burn my dinner. I’m China for President and I approve this massage.
Verbatim. Impressive transcription skills 😉
Where did you find that transcript?
(Srsly tho, do most Brits of your cohort pay as much attention as you do to Yank politics?)
It’s interesting to me how many Brits seem to have picked up on Biden’s apparent senility. Normally people here just take the WaPo/NYT line on the USA.
I think the particular reason for that is that, very sadly, so many of us recognise the symptoms we have seen in members of our own families and in the older people we know and love. So, as you can probably guess, I’m not so much laughing at it or mocking Biden for it, but highlighting just how obvious it is.
On a seperate yet related note, I still intensely dislike Biden for the way the callous lies just roll off his tongue. The years of slander about the “drunk” driver in the collision that killed his wife and son was one thing, but these days he’s repeating things like the “fine people” hoax, while lying about or denying the levels of violence commited in the name of the causes he puts his name to, casually putting targets on the backs of honest Americans, happy to write off large swathes of the populations as “racist”, and tacitly green-lighting them for the shock troops. The establishment says it’s okay to kill these people, or rather, in the officialspeak, I guess it was Trump supporters who killed that guy in Portland.
You left out his lies about Hunter’s “business”, of which there are several.
But I do think there are a lot of moderate conservatives turned off by Trump’s crassness. And they’ve been convinced (or are desperately trying to convince themselves) that Biden is a decent man who will restore dignity to the WH. I don’t know how many of those people there are but Biden doesn’t need millions, just a few thousand in the right states.
This is worse than people saying, “Biden is right”.
What you describe are people who have gone all in on valuing style over substance. Biden looks, to them, like the adult in the room, and that’s all they care about. They want superficial decorum and a return to government by career Mandarins. To get that, they are willing to completely ignore the substance of the Democrats’ stated goals.
Yep, that is what I’m saying. It’s ridiculous but it’s there – I think.
One anecdotal example: my neighbors are voting R in the House, R in the Senate, and for Biden. I asked him about this and he said that Trump is rude, incompetent, corrupt. My response was “so he’s a politician?” My neighbor: “yes, but he’s so public about it.”
“corrupt”
Hasn’t Trump’s net worth dropped by hundreds of millions since 2016?
That is proof he’s an idiot or proof he’s corrupt depending on who you talk to.
What I wonder, though, is how many of those people were Trump voters in 2016? My gut feeling is, not many. They either didn’t vote or voted for Hillary.
I mean, Trump’s approval rate among Republican voters has consistently been 90%+. There doesn’t seem to be much of anything to indicate, other than people who talk to publications like The Hill, that he’s bleeding support from within the party. Doesn’t mean he’s going to win, of course, but if he doesn’t I suspect losing independents would be the reason why.
There is rumor that 2016 Trump voters are fleeing from Trump in 2020. All of those rumors are from the NYT, so take it how you want.
I didn’t vote in 2016 because I hated the choices. I voted this year even though I hate the choices.
The NeverTrump types have a platform far far far in excess of their actual numbers. Yeah the Lincoln Project and The Bulwark and The Dispatch exist, but that doesn’t mean they represent the tip of some iceberg of GOP support for Biden.
I mean honestly, if the Democrats had someone with Joe Bidens background and mannerisms who wasn’t a corrupt senile 50 year Swamp Creature, I think they would be running away with it. I think Jim Webb would take 40 states.
well yeah. The guy talked about killing commies and was proud of it. I remember listening to that debate and not getting why he wasn’t getting more positive press as a contender and than I got a text from my greenie cousin mocking him and it all kind of clicked. The blue collar class are a dead letter to these people as a viable voting bloc they hate them.
They could never nominate a Jim Webb, though.
Sweet drunken Enkidu. You’d rather have someone lie to you about how corrupt they are?
Of course!

Nope. But I don’t really talk to people, so I’m probably not a good example.

Substance requires extra thought and consideration. Style is immediate.
For a lot of people, including a lot of Trump supporters, that’s extremely important in their social signals.
Having to take the time to discuss a choice or policy position is not desirable for most, particularly when they would have to educate themselves on the topic and then run the risk of being corrected in an argument. Simply proclaiming your support for a candidate, wearing their colors, and calling your opponents pansies or rednecks is far, far simpler. TEAM UBER ALLES.
For a lot of people, including a lot of Trump supporters, that’s extremely important in their social signals.
Yep. How many people here (myself included) have said that Trump’s biggest value is as a middle finger to the system?
The difference to me is that Midwest MAGA Man is voting against a system where NAFTA shipped the factory jobs away, the EPA prohibits the mine from digging a new pit, and he’s supposed to just knuckle his brow and thank his Ivy League masters for the beneficent manner in which they have reshaped the American economy for the benefit of Wall Street first and foremost.
Now, I know there’s more complexity to it then “BOO NAFTA” but Midwest MAGA Man has the broad strokes correct: there has been a concerted effort in this country over the last 30 years by the education/media/political complex to push out the blue and brown collar jobs. The vision of the Democrats, totally captured by tech bro and Wall Street money, is that everyone who’s smart enough to work a knowledge economy job gets to do that, and the great unwashed masses get to be Uber drivers and waitresses and personal trainers. These people absolutely fucking hate it when they’re driving out to take their weekends in the country and they get stuck behind a logging truck, and they have the power to do something about that.
Strike out ‘Uber drivers and waitresses and personal trainers’, and replace it with, ‘the connected ones get bureaucratic sinecures, and the great unwashed masses get to be on public assistance, forever, in exchange for their votes.’
But yeah, the broad strokes are correct.
“Uber drivers, waitresses, and personal trainers” is about the subservience aspect. Chris Arande says “front row kids” and “back row kids”. The front row kids who end up at some mediocre desk job with their expensive degree absolutely fucking despise the back row kids who make good money despite not chasing the big degree.
It’s not just money, it’s class. Someone in debt up to their eyeballs, living with roomates in NYC, on her parents health insurance and phone plan, making 50,000 a year thinks that the plumber fixing her sink before he goes home to his family on Staten Island is beneath her even though he makes more money, owns a home, has a great wife and 2 great kids.
That’s why they continually push the green bullshit, continually push taxes and regulations. They want to drive the back row kids, the jocks who made fun of them in high school, into perpetual poverty and subservience. The douchebag jock who called them a fag in high school cannot be allowed to get a good job in an oil field, he must be forced to work at the WalMart Tire Center.
The summer time Trump boat parades was an illuminating moment for me. These people were absolutely fucking furious that people who voted for Trump had boats and free time and smiles on their face. They want the price of gas to double so they can’t take trips to the lake in the summer in their big trucks hauling their ski boat.
Yeah I’ve come full circle on all of this I used to think the alex jones’s of the world were nuts because these people wouldn’t want to destroy wealth and hollow out the whole world out of literal class envy but they do. They’d rather rule over ashes than permit people to make money the wrong way. These people would happily live in a fuedal agrarian society as long as they were making the rules.
Yeah, you’re certainly right too.
This line of thought is depressing the fuck out of me.
Viking is right, scratch a lefty and you usually find someone who is still clinging to adolescent bitterness.
Half of them go to therapists who nod their heads and write prescriptions for anti-depressant refills that don’t seem to solve anything (probably by design).
Viking is right, scratch a lefty and you usually find someone who is still clinging to adolescent bitterness.
I think much of this is rooted in the infantilization of adolescents. If we treated 13 – 18 year olds as varying levels of proto-adults, teaching them to earn money, save for the future, learn what they enjoy doing, and take responsibility for their own outcomes, we wouldn’t have nearly as many 20-something failure to launches out there agitating for daddy gubmint to just help them get to the end of the month.
You know who doesn’t have time to be a bitter adolescent? A person with a full-time job and 8 credit hours of classes.

I know a Dem like that, sadly. Sane on most local and state measures, but Trump is evil, dontcha know. (A Mondale voter, fer crying out loud.)
Abrasive ≠ evil, although obviously they can overlap.
All else being equal, I probably wouldn’t vote for Trump because of his style. His style was fine on The Apprentice. It would be fine as a Las Vegas showman. It’s not great as a president. Having said that, all else isn’t equal, so I’m voting for him despite his style.

“While I claim sole authorship of the work, the sentiments expressed within it were widely held among officials at the highest levels of the federal government,” Taylor wrote in a statement published on Medium. “In other words, Trump’s own lieutenants were alarmed by his instability.”

Speaking of this asshole…
“I think the president will feel completely emboldened to pursue not just these almost Nazi-like immigration policies—I don’t say that lightly that is a pretty harsh term to levee against the president —but that’s really where they want to go is turn this country into fortress America rather than the shining city on a hill. But worse still for me as a lifelong national security professional is I believe the president is going to sell out our allies and befriend our enemies, and put this country in danger. He’s already shown a proclivity for friendships with depots and dictators around the world. He has kicked our best friends to the curb. That kind of thing will put this country in danger for the long run.”
Enforcing immigration law that has existed since the 90s is “nazi-like”…
And way to take every foreign policy maneuver out of context, you mendacious cunte.
Immigration enforcement laxer than almost every other country on the planet is “Nazi”.

“On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden will be inaugurated President of the United States,” Pelosi declared. “The states will count the votes that they have in a timely fashion. And again, if the president wins in that format, then so be it, then he’s president. We don’t anticipate that that will be the case, and neither does he. And that’s why he’s trying to, as I say, stir the pot so that people will think that he really won when he didn’t. Of all of the things that the president has done, and they have been horrible, undermining the Constitution, degrading our environment, denigrating who we are as a people, undervaluing who we are in terms of our priorities as a country, taking children out of the arms of their parents, again, dimming the bright light that we are of hope to the world, of all of the things, the very idea, and again, ignoring that nearly 250,000 people have died from a virus that many of whom could have been saved, the list goes on and on.”
She continued, “[T]he easiest thing for him to do is to stand up like a man and accept the results of an election of the American people. For him to make these kinds of statements shows his lack of patriotism, his undermining of our elections. While he allows foreign countries like his friend Putin to undermine the integrity of our election. He himself is doing it as well. But let’s forget about him. Let’s get on with the future. Let’s have the results counted properly, that everybody’s vote is counted as cast. Let’s unify the country as we go forward. Joe Biden is a great unifier.”

“But as global warming continues, producing more destructive hurricanes, wildfires, floods and other disasters”
Except there hasn’t been an increase in natural disasters….
Also it’s a complete fabrication. The severity of hurricanes have been said by actual scientists, not scientific journalists, to not be affected by Global Warming. But the point isn’t that they are dumb or hypocrites. The point is that just because they have or had the main hold over cultural thought, doesn’t mean they are right.
An above average year for hurricanes after what 4 or 5 years below average?

Did someone loot the sporting goods, jeweler, entities with pharmaceutical drugs, and liquor stores there too?
“it seems like France may be devolving into Ethnic violence”
It’s not ethnic violence if it’s only going one way.
The problem Europe has is none of the countries really wants immigration, but they’ve all gotten it shoved down their throats. And none of the powers that be expect the refugees/immigrants to assimilate (and in fairness, assimilation is all but impossible within those cultures). Hard to imagine a more perfect illustration of elite estrangement from common man, and yes, worse than here.
It is the re-Reconquista they just decided to start in France this time. I mean they have seen the French get invaded to good effect in recent history.
Let’s unify the country as we go forward. Joe Biden is a great unifier.
Of course, by “unify” I mean “subjugate”.
“Bingo, if you have

Christmas family celebrations in the UK will be broken up by officers if they break lockdown rules, police said.
West Midlands Police Commissioner David Jamieson said officers will investigate reports of rule-breaking over the holidays, and he fears that riots could be sparked by the enforcement.
“If we think there’s large groups of people gathering where they shouldn’t be, then police will have to intervene. If, again, there’s flagrant breaking of the rules, then the police would have to enforce. It’s not the police’s job to stop people enjoying their Christmas. However, we are there to enforce the rules that the government makes, and if the government makes those rules then the government has to explain that to the public,” Jamieson said.

What was it that the court said about Trump’s twitter account being public record?
Twitter suspended U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan for a post celebrating the success of the U.S. southern border wall keeping violent criminals from reaching American communities.
According to screenshots shared exclusively with The Federalist, Twitter locked Morgan’s account Wednesday afternoon for apparently violating platform rules governing “hateful conduct” after the commissioner attempted to tweet about the wall’s benefits.
It’s public record so the account holder can’t ban people viewing the tweets, but Twitter can, because it’s a
publicationplatform.“Forced Monkey Labor”

Album. When the band is trying to get out of their remaining contract.

In fairness, this is something even a lot of Marines argue about. It’s actually been a topic of contentious discussion at meetings of my Marine Corps League detachment.

*hands Mojeaux a pager*
I never had one of those.
Mo, am trying in vain to find you pic of awesome white (double-breasted?) suit from 2000 or so. Olivier Theyskens? Anyway, where you would find stripes on an Adidas sweatsuit were black ruffles, so that it looked as if the wearer were bursting out of a painting or something.
Gal Gadot is on the Nov. cover. GD, is that a useless rag. Only thing in that issue I found vaguely interesting besides the cologne samples was the article about how Erewhon health food store (L.A.) became super-trendy.
Gal Gadot’s dress — I kinda like it but it wouldn’t turn my head. Also, on some things I don’t like aesthetically, I like from a construction standpoint, as in “how did they do that?”
I never saw the white double-breasted with the ruffles down the legs, but the white double-breasted unstructured suit is one of my favorite looks.
Gal G. mention was for de menfolk, really. Probably wouldn’t even have picked up VF if not for the topic yesterday.
Mo, I gather you and I like much of the same stuff: Vivienne Westwood? Charles James? I’m too lazy for dry cleaning in my old age though.
! I only just learned the other day about Nelly Jo!
(sorry: Nelly Don.)
https://tam.missouri.edu/MHCTC/collection_nelly.html
Vivienne Westwood, her regular stuff, yes. Charles James, never heard of. Badley and Mischka for sure. I didn’t pay much attention to designers, though.
I also like midcentury modern stuff. I like the hobo look. I tell you, I am all over the place.
I like fashion history. Shoot, I’ve constructed whole book scenes around one outfit. My books often start out as clothes porn.
In one of my fashion classes (that I took because I could) (my local community college had a clothing and design prep program for FIT), I learned that fashion follows architecture, which I think is a fascinating phenomenon.
My husband got me this for Christmas one year. It’s a heavy mofo, too.
(I love art books.)
Anyway, Japan is a huge curator of western fashion. They love it.
Also, a Japanese designer did the costumes for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. (I have that book, too. Got it at the museum.)
Paul Poiret is the be-all, end-all for me. Love Schiaparelli too.
That time period was exquisite.
Oh, let’s face it, I love most of it as long as it has a personality. The last few years have seen no personality whatsoever.

This young and hip congresswoman is trailblazing in more than just policy, as she swings her Fendi handbag over the seat to sit down with us to chat about Marx and Manolo Blanik. She’s ditching the old dour socialist workers garb for Gucci suits and designer pumps. It’s truly champagne socialist wishes and caviar dreams.

Cheers. I still need to see that movie. Was Robin Leach in it? As a kid I used to love to watch Lifestyles (I was an unusual kid) and a big part of it was Leach’s accent. I could do a mean impression of him at ten years old.

A note:
Oxford gives 2 relevant meanings for “respect”: 1. a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. 2. “due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.”
I have worked alongside Muslims, Hindus, Mormons. I didn’t demonstratively eat pork or drink beer next to Muslims, eat beef next to Hindus, or drink coffee next to Mormons. Thus, I accorded them respect-2.
However, I did not respect-1 them for being Muslims, Hindus, Mormons. Indeed, I don’t have much respect-1 for these religions.

Have you met mormons in person? I know they go out to far corners looking for converts, but they can’t be everywhere,
Have you met mormons in person – only one. there was this chick me and a couple of friends met in a hostel in Florence. We talked about stuff in the evening and the next day she went with us on a day trip to Siena. I found two things weird: one that she decided to go on on a trip with 3 random guys she met literally an hour before. Two she was wearing flip flops when the purpose of the trip was to walk a lot and I consider flip flops as uncomfortable footwear for long walks. She was on holiday with her mother so no converting or missionary work. We talked a bit of religion but not much, enough to find out she does not drink alcohol. I don;t know if the flip flops was a Mormon thing or due to her being from Orange County California. She was good company overall.
Flip-flops were california.
I could not walk 7 miles in flipflops I tell you that
Also I would assume Flip-flops are not great in Mountain Utah in winter
Mormons are like Irish Pubs. They are everywhere.
I dunno about Mormons but #metoo and to me “respect” means they didn’t give a shit what I ate and vice versa.
I do not accept the idea that eating certain meats next to a Hindu or Muslim is in any way offensive.
You got to it before me. I’ve worked with, dated, been friends with, and otherwise socialized with a cornucopia of people with various food and drink restrictions. I’ve only felt the need to conform to their restrictions in 3 scenarios.
1) not drinking in front of recovering alcoholics; 2) not eating meat in front of ethical vegans (unless they are assholes, in which case I eat as much meat as possible) ;
3) adhering to their restrictions when they pay for the meal
#2 — It wouldn’t occur to me not to eat what I eat in front of other people who don’t eat what I eat.
When I was low-carbing, there were times I didn’t go to family get-togethers because I didn’t feel strong enough to stay on my diet. My family respected that.
I’m not going to ask someone else to curb their eating/drinking habits for me, and I’m not going to curb mine for theirs. If they have a problem with what I eat, I’ll never go out with them again.
If you have dinner with SP and OMWC you must insist on no wine though just to fuck with them
I’ve had dinner with SP and OMWC, OMWC twice. 🙂 I was so taken with the company, I didn’t notice what they were eating or drinking, which is as it should be.
I’m not gonna be the asshole who goes out to lunch with my “meat is murder” friend and chows down on a surf and turf plate. I’m not going to order a beer with lunch when dining with my teatotalling Baptist family members. It’s a minor accommodation in a limited situation.
That said, respect is a two way street. As soon as they get preachy, I start ordering meat with sides of meat and extra meat on top and have my favorite beer.
I’d also limit this to intimate interactions and/or social gatherings planned by them. We had plenty of meat and booze at our wedding despite the presence of both teatotallers and vegans.
teatotalling Baptist family members. – only in public or also when alone?
Right there with you. I’m not a member of your religion, I don’t need to follow your eating rules. Am I not supposed to get swiss on my corned beef at a Jewish deli?
To be fair, a deli serving Glatt food wouldn’t have meat and milk available at all, so it’s a moot point when it comes to Kosher vendors. That said, when out with in-laws, I shut my mouth and choke down bland cutlet, terrible pizza, or (if I get a choice in restaurants) some shockingly good Chinese food.
Most of the Jewish communities here are Reform, but I do believe that in the areas that border the Orthodox communities they do have separate slicers and equipment for Kosher/Non-Kosher. The really good Chinese place changed owners a couple years back, and has gone downhill since.
Yes, no Coffee or Tea.
Also i think this is funny because its the exact opposite. I have no problem with people drinking beer when i go out to eat with them, or drinking coffee at work. Because I respect them as individuals who can make their own choices.
Now do Muslims
Le Sigh.
Meh, look at it this way: They only make fun of us because we won’t kill them for it and thus, they are cowards.
I don’t even care about being made fun of. I had two years of that and it really doesn’t phase me. Its when people tell me what i believe and they are wrong that gets me to sigh.
English already has words that cover meaning #2, therefore it makes no sense to attach that meaning to a word that means something else unless the entire purpose is to lie.
Words that already cover meaning #2: obligate, pander, compel, coerce,

An excellent conversation.

Nope. Eye popping cleavage.

Jack Dorsey was clear that only happened for the first 24-hrs.
2. The killing is not an act that as a Muslim I would approve. But while I believe in the freedom of expression, I do not think it includes insulting other people. You cannot go up to a man and curse him simply because you believe in freedom of speech.

“Costco pulling products allegedly made with forced monkey labor”
Well, that’s a headline I wasn’t expecting.
https://frinkiac.com/caption/S09E21/317800
Oh sure, But what Costco doesn’t realize is that those are the best jobs out there for those monkeys and otherwise they will be forced to resort to crime and prostitution.
If you like your forced monkey labor, you can keep your forced monkey labor.
It would make a good album name that.
You missed the “Donation not Taxation” part.
Heh, heh.
Since you referred to primate prostitution, those monkeys cousins have to endure exactly that. In the “humans suck” category of news:

It is ok for Muslims to kill now because in the past French killed a lot of people and some were muslims.
Don’t think about all the past people killed by muslims.
Isn’t Collectivism Grand!
I just said that two replies up 🙂
Well it wasn’t totally related… Maybe.

Anyone surprised that The Biden team told the media they would be punished if they did their jobs?
Please name your sources.
A few years ago i was talking about Trump with a lefty friend of mine and he talked about how Trump displayed all the hallmarks of Fascism, in particular the Hostility towards the Press. I stopped him and said that IMO that was the exact opposite. Because Fascists had incredible Propoganda machines, they were not hostile to the Press but controlled them.
This is why i default to rather having a GOP president than a Dem, because at least then i know the press will be hostile towards the President.
“I stopped him and said that IMO that was the exact opposite. Because Fascists had incredible Propoganda machines, they were not hostile to the Press but controlled them.”
Yep. Mussolini was a newspaperman before he was a dictator.
Labour suspends Jeremy Corbyn over reaction to anti-Semitism report

Not for actual anti-Semitism, just his reaction to a report.
SON OF A *****!
UK Labour suspends Jermy Corbyn over anti-semetism.
Corbyn says this is just further proof of a vast (((conspiracy)))
Well, crap. My cogent and insightful comment on the Biden documents being stolen at FedEx got eaten by a site time-out. I’ll have to reconstruct it later.
FedEx stole your comment too? Those bastards!
Was it FedEx? Tucker didn’t name the company last night.
I swear I thought I saw FedEx mentioned by name, but don’t recall where. On a quick review, Fox has been careful not to say, it looks like.
TInfoil hat time:
It was the FBI that intercepted and removed the documents. Even I hadn’t thought of that.
Sketchily sourced, but given what we know about the FBI, not entirely implausible.

That Daily Beast article is full of stupid. I tapped out part way through.
Taylor was hired by CNN as a contributor in September. However, it is now known that he lied to the network by denying authorship of the op-ed during an Aug. 21 interview with his now-colleague Anderson Cooper.
What else did he lie about?
Today’s music selection is good.
What else did he lie about?
What else did he say?
