NY Times hot on the case of a 29 year old hockey player that died of t
he commie virus. And what was his pre-existing condition you ask?
His favorite breakfast cereal was oxycodone.
Doomsday camps are a business opportunity for me.
A fun argument to let Huawei operate in the US:
To which some will say that there’s no evidence Huawei has the better technology. Ok, but if Huawei’s technology is vastly overrated, why all the hand wringing about Huawei? That there’s so much is a fairly pregnant signal that the technology is not only the best, but also that the Chinese corporation isn’t nearly as close to or controlled by the Chinese state as politicians and pundits want us to believe. We know this because conservatives have long made the correct point that heavily subsidized and politicized businesses are weakened by the subsidies and politics precisely because they blind them to the very market signals that drive progress.
If Huawei is in the pocket of the Chicom government, if governments are terrible at picking market winners, its stands to reason Huawei makes a shit product. Shit products don’t last long in the market because their shit. What’s the problem now, you’re being watched? YOUR ALREADY BEING WATCHED.
I am old enough to remember some asshat asking this question.
Sure, try it again. Let’s see what happens, morons. Now thst I look at it more, it makes sense if Pence has to participate in the process to plead the 25th. If Pence is stuck in DC, it means neither he or Trump are campaigning…or its just a straight power grab.
I’m done. I need a cigarette.

Now that is how you ignore the post.
Anything worth doing is worth doing right
At this point is Winston’s mom still worth doing? Seems like the cost-benefit analysis is pretty straightforward on that one, even with double rubber.

“His favorite breakfast cereal was oxycodone”
Also, xanax, apparently.
The Washington Post does this too, although they seem to have given it up lately. All through May, June, and July they would run a front-page story every day about somebody between age 10 and 40 who had died of COVID. Invariably, if you would read like 12 paragraphs into the article, you would discover they had some serious pre-existing condition that made them extremely vulnerable to any sort of opportunistic disease.
Hey, they had a narrative to support man. Can’t blame them for that, can you?
And while many point out that putting COVID on death certs let them collect something like $36K per body, encouraged the medical community to label everything a Kung Flu death, I think the media reporting ignored that too to sell the dnc trope (and destroy the economic advantage they wanted to remove from Trump-Putin).
The NYT did issue a correction:
Correction: Sept. 17, 2020
An earlier version of this obituary misstated the day Amburgey died. It was Aug. 29, not Aug. 30.

You’ve never worked with government procurement, have you. A lowest bidder mandate means they keep buying the shit product because people who make worthwhile products can’t bid down as far. No one who makes the decision has any accountability for the problems it causes, and in the end they’ve spent more money on the shit products because they keep needing replacement, but are always the lowest bidder.
I don’t know the ratio of government elecommunications to quasi-government telecommunications or the way non-government telecommunications providers procure, but Huawei could gorge itself on tax dollars and gets hooks in all over the place without once improving its products.
It’s the whole reason Unisys isn’t out of business yet.
Really? I thought they got acquired and rolled into one of the fulfillment/distribution groups.
/wanders off to search the toobz.
Well shit. I was wrong, they do appear to still be independent.
New York is stupidly committed to some pretty awful Unisys offerings. One of our biggest recurring headaches comes from them.
Why are you so keen on denying some people their ability to put caviar & champagne on their family’s table from some kickbacks huh, man?
That 36-bit architecture is a bitch to move off of.
Well, that isn’t actually our biggest headache. But they had started the process of getting off the 2200 twenty years before I joined twelve years ago… and they’re still a few applications short of completion.
Yeah, I can understand why the low bid standard was started but it’s been a disaster in practice. The cheapest thing for sale out there is usually junk no matter what it is.
Not if the vender is selling a quality product cheap and making the loss up on volume!
/morons
The challenge in government procurement is to then write your specifications well enough that the unacceptable products get precluded.
But usually your procurement guys are no where near enough of an expert on the requirements and your requirements experts know nothing about the procurement process.
Mix in some leadership who read an article on the subject once and slept at a Holiday Inn Express, and you get shit.
That was a logical, thought provoking, well reasoned response. And I would address it but based on your inability to figure out your cooling rack dilemma has made me conclude you are either 12 or a serial killer and this is actually your antipsychotic meds talking.
Go home kid.
“”Fortitude Ranch is a survival community equipped to survive any type of disaster and long-term loss of law and order, managed by full-time staff. Fortitude Ranch is affordable (about $1,000/person annually) because of large numbers of members and economies of scale. Fortitude Ranch is especially attractive to join because it doubles as a recreation and vacation facility as well as a survival retreat. Members can vacation, hunt, fish and recreate at our forest and mountain locations in good times, and shelter at Fortitude Ranch to survive a collapse,” the company’s website said.”
I wonder what you get for that $1000?
timeshare points in a recreation facility.
If I were running such an operation each purchaser would get a list of 100 items (with minimum quantities listed) and be advised to bring at least 30 of those items if they intend to exercise their option to stay. Storage for those items would be provided.
Then you get the potluck problem where most of the participants bring the easiest items and no one brings the good stuff.
It might have to be weighted in such a way that thing’s like 1,000 round cases of 5.56X45mm are items 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30 on the list. So they get more credit for covering the really necessary items.
Put a point value on each item, say 10 pts initially, so that would be 1000 pts total across 100 items. You have to bring in 300 pts. Whenever someone shows up, the point value of the items they bring drop and the items they dont bring rise, but keeping 1000 pts total. Thus, it encourages the later showing up people to bring the unbrought items.
Note: I have apparently played too many games of Brass or Power Grid.
Which can be solved the same way you solve the potluck problem – even house numbers bring salad or main, odd bring desserts, etc. Not too hard to come up with a variation.
Numbers? Fuck Off Slaver!
I will bring the rubbers and lube!
I always had a hunch that that it was you, McCaffey.
HEY!
These are essentials. Society would implode without that stuff!
Without rubbers society would explode, not implode.
Population would explode.. society would then implode due to lack of resources and shitlordry…
Hopefully some handmaidens.
^^Mr. Coney Barrett
On an unrelated note, a while back, I bought brand new baking sheets (made in the usa), cooling racks (made in the usa), and a silpat (made in… France), but I haven’t removed them from the box because I don’t want to get them dirty. This prevents me from using them, which makes having bought them pointless, but I still can’t bring myself to unbox and use them, because that would get them dirty…
A friend’s mom when I was growing up had this same attitude with the furniture in her house. I always wondered what the point was of couches, chairs, etc. you couldn’t sit on.
I’m trying to force myself to open the box and bake some pierogis.
I even have parchment paper to keep the food from directly touching the pan…
But national pierogi day was yesterday.
And… baking pierogi? If you’re going from raw, they need the boil, but then it’s always been a pan fry for me (traditionally with butter and onions, I prefer ghee).
They’re frozen. In a box.
Defrost in the fridge overnight, pan fry in fat of your choice. Get them nice and browned on the outside which adds a bit of texture.
I figured you were in the pierogi belt, no nearby shops or churches selling grandma’s handmade pierogi? Hell, our butcher shops all sell homemade pierogi.
No such thing around here.
And no, I am not postponing my breakfast to tomorrow.
If youse guys don’t fry them with bacon and onion youse are dead to me.
I ran out of bacon and used the last onion last night.
No worries, I’ve been known to just chuck em in bowl with margarine and seasoning salt and bake in the oven until barely palatable. Drunk cook does as drunk cook do.
I suspect that’s not true.
I have no idea where such a place would be, but judging from my coworkers and the frequency with which pierogies and kielbasa are on the cafeteria menu there is a large enough market to support such a thing.
Unfortunately, my last overtly Polish tech left so I can’t ask her where to get the good stuff.
Your nearest Ukeranian Orthodox church will sell them round about their weird Easter. The best pierogies.
And the Mexican Catholic churches sell delicious tamales before Christmas.
I am not postponing my breakfast to tomorrow.
…sell them round about their weird Easter.
…sell delicious tamales before Christmas.
When you want breakfast today, Glibs have plenty of meal suggestions for two months from now.
The best time to plan for breakfast is last year.
I’ve done the pan fry with butter and onions, although boiling is way easier.
You boil them first then pan fry them. Most of the ones you purchase at the store have already been boiled, and just need the pan frying.
“You boil them first then pan fry them.”
I do sometimes, but boiling is way less time and effort.
You want them crispy. I can’t even with you people!
Just think of them as Polish ravioli.
Or Polish “potstickers.”
That’s what *I* call “ditchdigger food.” In the Before Times™, when people weren’t afraid of their own shadow, Edmonton had a specialty restaurant that was nothing but pyrogys and other dumplings. That place was heaven. Probably permanently shut down now . . .
Call it “seasoned” instead of dirty. We’ve had the same few Silpats in heavy baking use for like 15 years. Use the heck out of them.
Well, I opened the box. And the silpat packaging has an image of the eiffel tower on it. I think it’s a bit much, I already knew it was a product of france
Does it look like this?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Tokyo_Tower_Afterglow_2.JPG
No. It’s grayscale, and just a step above clip art.
My Silpat has pie crust measurements.
The tower is just on the packaging. I don’t believe there are any markings on the pad itself.
I had JVC stereo receiver in the late 1980s that lit up like a Christmas tree. All from a backlit orange LED. With the lights out and nothing but the receiver on you could almost read by it.
We referred to it at “Tokyo at Night”.
Sounds like a shroom magnet.
Ok, that warrants this.
You should open the Howard Hughes Bakery.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is questioning President Donald Trump’s fitness to serve, announcing legislation Thursday that would create a commission to allow Congress to intervene under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution and remove the president from executive duties.
Congressional
Option to
Unseat the
President act?
*applause*
There really should be some consequences for puling such a stunt. I don’t care if you love, hate, or ambivalent about Trump, nobody should be allowed to sidetrack the government for such a blatant political move.
It’s a shameless display of realpolitik. When I used to watch that show called Shameless, I always thought that Fiona Gallagher was the baddy and Frank was the protagonist. Then they got woke and I gave up.
I think they were all bad in some way. The first few seasons were very entertaining, then it turned to crap, like every other show on Showtime.
^^^ See True Blood, Dexter etc. The original British version of Shameless had the same problem. Oz was interesting for about a minute.
Brit series are easier to sustain because an entire season is only four hour long.
The first few seasons were very entertaining, then it turned to crap, like every other show on Showtime.
Word. I used to watch it as well. Then I suddenly lost interest.
The Democrats are really worried that they can’t get Biden elected.
No, they are just making sure. Trump isn’t doing great. But they let off the pedal in 2016. This time they are going to magdump every dirty trick they have, reload, and go again.
This “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office Act” could also be used to get rid of Biden.
Isn’t the 25th a function of the cabinet and VP?
There is a line in section 4 that goes “Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide,”
But… changing the law that designates the body eligable to declare the president unfit requires, well, passing a law. And Nancy’s in no position to do that right now.
That is the one upside, they aren’t passing any asnine legislation while they are chasing thier tail with this nonsense.
Does anyone know how the body of law that is supposed to accompany the 25th currently reads?
To me it looks like it starts in the executive.
I can help. It reads, “Orange Man Bad! Make Dem President!!!111!1!1!!!!1!”. I hope that helps you understand this vital part of out Democracy(TM).
It requires the Vice President, that much is in the amendment itself. So this will have no legs.
Well better this than moving forward on the Watermelon New Deal.
Baseball birthdays: After yesterdays lackluster entires, today features two pre-WW2 HoFers — Joe Sewell and Rube Marquard. Meh, neither really deserve it, especially Rube. Brian Downing, who no one* considers a HoFer, falls in between them in WAR.
*In 1998, his first and only year on the HoF ballot, he received 2 votes, .04% of the total. He actually has more WAR than Jim Rice, who got 42% of the vote that year and was eventually elected. Rice had a **much** better peak.
Downing was rumored to be one of the early steroids adopters. What is known is that he went from pudgy as a younger player to jacked in his thirties.
There weren’t a lot of players lifting weights and bulking up back then but my understanding was that Brian committed himself fully to it and blossomed. I’m not saying he definitely didn’t take steroids as well but I don’t think it’s anywhere close to a given.
Of the Boston outfield of the ’70s, Rice has the lowest career WAR, and you don’t see anyone lobbying for Dwight Evans or Fred Lynn to be enshrined.
I have heard arguments for Evans. But that was 25 years ago.
Now that I think about it I think I’d be OK with drawing the line so that Evans is the best outfielder (or in the general top tier of all positions) who is not in the Hall. There’s already more than one guy in who is worse the Dwight so obviously this is going forward, I’m not suggesting that we throw anyone’s plaque out.
BUT DAT BATTING STANCE, YO.
I am better off than 4 years ago, but much like when that question has been asked before, that has approximately 0% to do with who is president.
Where will you be under President Kamala? It’s death by a thousand cuts and you know they are coming for your 2nd Amendment first.
And your 401K second.
Agreed, I can be much worse.
Despite her weird BLM fetish, I would be even better off under President Jo.
Saucy!
Oversharing here but I did an older woman when I was about 22 or so. She was younger than I am now but it weren’t half bad. Made for strange interactions later on.
The one impact that the president has had (that comes to mind) was the tax bill. That freed up quite a bit of cash.
I can’t tell, because I was paying zero taxes, Trump style for 2016-18, that I dont know what the tax bill did to me. Same for KY changing to a flat 5%. By the time I was actually paying it, I was leaving the state.
Financially, I’m more stable. But 4 years ago I could go to a bar, restaurant, concert, sporting event, etc.. I don’t blame the president for that being taken away. I blame my piece of shit Governor.
If Biden wins you’ll be able to blame the President for that too.
He and what army are going to shut down the country?
That remains to be seen but he wants to give it a shot. If you’re unfortunate enough to live in the wrong place they’ll just unleash the cops, in other areas they can withhold federal funds until the local pols fold and most of them would.
Not the Chicomm asshoes bioengineering a virus and then having some guy sell the monkeys they tested them on at a wet markey?
There’s been (according to the state of Ohio stats) 4,674 deaths from COVID in Ohio (4,983 “probable”).
I’ve known more people who have committed and attempted suicide then have tested positive for COVID, let alone died from it. Going back to 2017 CDC stats, COVID ranks above diabetes and below Alzheimer’s as a cause of death.
DeWine is asshoe.
Jeez, Alzheimer’s kills more people than diabetes?
The most money I have ever made I made this year. Weird.

131) Not trying to humblebrag with today’s Thought Not Sermon! Just something I’ve been wondering about, and it always seems like the Glibertarians know everything, collectively…
Okay, so I’ve lifted weights regularly since 2002, and off-and-on going all the way back to high school. Several years ago I discovered the Weightlifting Strength Standards website and check it from time to time to figure out how I rate. In most exercises, I’m in between the intermediate and advanced categories for my age (45), but mostly closer to intermediate.
Only I just figured out, I may have been using it wrong all this time. It seems the Strength Standards on the main page are based on your one-rep maximum. But for my exercises, I always do 6-10 reps. If you go to the strength calculator on the site, it gives you how much you should be able to lift one time for each exercise, based on your number of reps. Going by this calculator, my one-rep maxes should put me at well above advanced, and in some cases close to elite-level, for my weightlifting.
But I don’t feel “elite-level” in my weightlifting, and I don’t think I could do the one-rep maxes. I feel like my true maximum is just a little past my actual lifts, but I happen to be able to do those several times.
So, is the one-rep max calculator bullshit or what? Or something else? Here are my hypotheses:
1. One-rep max is simply a different way of training. I’ve trained my body to do more reps, and if I wanted to train for a heavier one-rep max, I’d have to change my whole approach. My actual lifts are pretty close to my true limits, and the one-rep max calculator isn’t relevant for me.
2. The one-rep max calculator is designed to convince weightlifters with fragile egos that they’re a lot stronger than they actually are, and its output is meaningless. My actual lifts are pretty close to my true limits.
3. The one-rep max calculator is an accurate tool, and I’m actually a lot stronger than I think I am. I could go out today, or perhaps with a couple weeks training, go to my weightbench and achieve the one-rep maxes. (But if this is true, shouldn’t I look a lot more body-builder-ish?)
I’m leaning towards hypothesis #1, with a bit of #2 mixed in. But I could be wrong! Thoughts?
Football players are strong, but don’t necessarily like like bodybuilders. Two different things (with some overlap).
if #1 is true, it calls into question that first chart, as well.
It’s not bullshit, per se, but very few people ever do a true 1 rep max, the exception being someone in a competition. The 1RM calculation is helpful for planning your programming, i.e work sets at X percent of calculated 1RM.
Don’t overthink it. Increase the weight and you’ll get stronger.
Do you have a program?
No program. I just do my lifts and try to add a rep each time. When I get to ten reps, I increase the weight by 1/2 pound (I use magnetic micro weights), and fall back to six or seven reps. I do separate upper body and lower body days. Once a year (maybe sooner, if I pull a muscle or something) I take a couple weeks off and set everything back 10-15 percent.
With this method, I’ve very gradually managed to get increases in my lifts over time. “The only way to get there fast is to get there slow.” My only real setback was five years ago, when a major shoulder injury caused me to have to start over with my upper body. (When I was able to start lifting again, I literally had to do bench presses with 10-pound weights in each hand).
Gotcha. I like having a blueprint. Personally, I use Wendler’s 5/3/1. It works well for me.
Listen to what Drake linked down there. Rippetoe has some really good info on reps.
“Don’t overthink it.”
I’m not sure that’s the JATNAS way.
The advice you’re about to gather would be a lot more persuasive if we never had those zoom things.
I’ve done the Rippetoe routine for five reps. Sometimes when I move up I can only do 2 or 3 reps, but I don’t go higher until I can do 5 correctly.
I love Rip.

Doomsday Camps Set To “Activate” Due To Risk Of Election Violence
That’s what DeBolshevik has been up to with the NY jews.
I’m in Georgia, which has done a halfway-decent job of ignoring much of the covid craziness, and as a result is very nearly done with it, based on the state’s own (well done, actually) charts. There are obviously some nuts here whose personal lock-downs were too extreme, so they haven’t participated in the herd immunity and will drag it out. Basically everybody knows a few people who’ve been “positive” in one way or another, knowing 1 or 2 deaths also.
Anyway, except for the very earliest week or two, in all cases of which I’m personally aware, the hospitalizations were ALL of folks with other conditions. And peoples’ commentaries on deaths are invariably like “We had one older lady in our office who caught it and passed away. She had diabetes and several other complications.”
(Rant starts here) I could get it tomorrow myself. Both of my parents are extremely frail, though with no chronic conditions, and are surely in a high-risk group. But good grief, it’s like people have forgotten that life is uniformly fatal, and that all the folks we know who are old and with diabetes (for example) and other things would have already passed away if this were our grandparents’ time. It sounds heartless to normies, but it’s just true. If it weren’t this, it’d be the next flu, or something. People have a ridiculously naive underexpectation regarding mortality.
Yeah, I think COVID is really just showing this fallacy that has taken hold that modern life is completely safe, and anything bad that ever happens must be somebody’s fault. Up until now, it’s mostly come out in how we treat our kids (bicycle helmets, ridiculous no-fun but safe playgrounds, etc.), but now we’re turning the societal neurosis on ourselves.
Yeah I’ve decided to be like the cool kids and have a trigger word – mine’s “safety”.
Funny, the safety is supposed to prevent triggering.

What pisses me off is the moving of the goalposts since then. The original premise arguably made sense since it was a relatively unknown disease.
That said, I’d argue against it given that it is a respiratory illness in the coronavirus category, which is generally understood. And we have not behaved this way for any other respiratory illness outbreak in my lifetime.
a few people who’ve been “positive”
I try to stay positive but the tyrants of the world keep making that difficult.
Maybe just mailing everybody ballots is a bad idea.
Newark woman says someone got a hold of her identity, stole her mail-in ballot
Not possible, Drake. There’s basically no such thing as voter fraud.
Nope. Never happens.
Hadn’t seen that, thank you. And that’s taking place in Texas, where voter fraud actually has a chance of being investigated and prosecuted. Can you imagine how widespread the voter scams could be in California, where there’s little chance of anybody ever caring?
Voter scams in California’s aren’t needed.
Strange, no mention of party affiliation.
Voter fraud is a myth…
If your voting methodology cant get 6-sigma (ugh) approved, you shouldnt use it.

A fun argument to let Huawei operate in the US
They are operating in Britain. The Tories are faux patriots.

Thanks for the depressing lynx. Holy shit what a fucked up world we’ve created.

I listened to a podcast the other day where the guy discussed the genesis of many big tech companies. Not surprisingly, the Stanford/DoD partnership is over-represented. I think the surveillance train has sailed. Other than getting a flip phone (which still provides plenty of data), I’m not sure what to even do anymore. Maybe my relative insignificance will finally pay off!
Man, they just keep throwing the shit at Two-Scoops. And yes, it’s a straight up desperate power grab. Their internal polling must be fucking terrible. Here in the PRM, our fuckwit governor is calling a special session again on Monday to keep the state of emergency active. Both branches of the legislature need to agree to slap him down, but the Dems have the house so that won’t happen. Don’t you love the feeling of powerlessness?
Bah. You know what? Let’s have a great day just to spite the motherfuckers!
It’s an odd move by Pelosi. My gut reaction is that doing this would sink prospects, like impeachment, because it’s a coup 30 days out from the election. But since I’ve been wrong about everything, I expect it to strengthen the Dem standing.
It isn’t so odd. It energizes the Dem base, keeps Donald responding to her instead of campaigning and let’s the media focus on Orangemanbad instead of anything coming out from the Durham probe/declassified documents out of Justice (should anything materialize).
Thanks for the depressing lynx.
Don’t you mean mourning lynx?

“To which some will say that there’s no evidence Huawei has the better technology. Ok, but if Huawei’s technology is vastly overrated, why all the hand wringing about Huawei? That there’s so much is a fairly pregnant signal that the technology is not only the best”
No, it isn’t.
“but also that the Chinese corporation isn’t nearly as close to or controlled by the Chinese state as politicians and pundits want us to believe.”
That doesn’t follow either.
“We know this because conservatives have long made the correct point that heavily subsidized and politicized businesses are weakened by the subsidies and politics precisely because they blind them to the very market signals that drive progress.”
Weak companies can undersell their competition through subsidy.

I don’t think that is how 25A works.

So it’s political posturing, but I see no upside benefit of doing it for the Dems. Male Donald’s supporters more fervent and disgust the undecided moderates.

DNC internal polling may not be so good since they are running with this narrative.
Don’t know about that. Could just be something to gum up the works so ACB can’t get confirmed before election.
That was my thought – no way do they pull this kind of nonsense if they think they are cruising to an easy victory.
Clear violation of the separation of powers. Congress has a devise to use for the check of removing a president, impeachment. That’s it. If the executive branch wants to remove the president that’s within their power, but Congress cannot do it this way.
Since when have they cared?
1789?
Had dinne3r with some normies last night; my sister, her husband, their son and his wife.
We’re fucked. Joe Biden will win easily and restore the nation to sanity. I’m not sure why that even matters, because the plague is so contagious and deadly nobody will survive. It’s apparently all they think about. Wholesale death and debilitation are the wages of

“How many would have died if you were president and isn’t that too many?” Why not ask that?
There are a lot of people who think the antifa violence will stop if they elect Biden. And they are probably right.
So a right wing militia member, an Antifa dude and a Bernie supporter walk into a bar that was closed by Whitmer…
They are probably wrong. Those fucks want to change everything, not just put a couple of corporatists at the helm.
If you’d stop being racist, which you can’t, they wouldn’t have to do this.
^Yup.
When Biden takes power some things change:
1. Antifa lots of funding
2. It no longer is just an idea
3. No Media gasps at when Biden sends in the tanks to smash what is going on in Portland.
The government can easily squash antifa, it’s politicalt been beneficial to not do so.
I don’t see any of these things happening if Biden wins. The riots aren’t happening to hurt Trump… it’s an advantage Trump has been hammering. It’s why there’s a media blackout on what’s really going on in Portland and you have to go through independent sources like Andy Ngo to get the truth of have bad it is. Even then, Andy has been attacked several times for trying to show it.
The riots have nothing to do with Trump, Biden, or the election. I’m not sure what the exact end game is, but you have a large group of youngish, disaffected individuals being trained in violent confrontation, squad tactics, and supply chains. Catch and release to rinse and repeat training. As someone pointed out, I think Evil Sheldon, one of the biggest advantages to winning a fight or engagement is actually having been in numerous fights or engagements before.
It’s a training program, pure and simple. Maybe they are envisioned to serve as the backbone of the new citizen police force the progs are begging to install, in a similar flavor of what we saw happen just a few years ago in Venezuela.
I’m not talking about the source. I’m saying that once they have served their purpose to the establishment, their will be no tears shed when Biden hunts them down and destroys them. They may not be beholden to the establishment, but they are so much weaker that when Biden comes to power he can easily destroy them. The media tolerates them because they have a narrative to spin, and if they had to recognize the violent core, then they would be giving trump a huge win. So they are ignored and tolerated until Biden wins and they have power again.
A lot of people confuse me for saying that Antifa == Biden. No they don’t, But Antifa couldn’t last during a Biden admin, like they can under Trump because then it helps the narrative that Trump is just a big dictator.
Yes, but we’re very much differing on “their purpose to the establishment”. I don’t mean to misinterpret, but it sounds like you’re saying their purpose is to swing the election to Biden.
I’m saying their purpose has nothing to do with the election. In fact, they are actively harming Biden’s chances of election and helping Trump with the “Law and Order” theme. This why there is a media blackout. If they helped Biden, it would be 24/7 news coverage of the graphic details Andy shows.
As others have pointed out, Antifa could be wiped out now by the Dem mayors and governors. They don’t need Biden to win to do this. Since these riots aren’t helping Biden but the Democrats are still protecting Antifa regardless, there must be another reason besides the election and no reason to think Biden would act differently then the Dem mayors and governors.
I think part of it is that the Dem politicians, except for the hardcore machine ones, are somewhat to largely sympathetic and demoralized (in the Bezmenov sense). They don’t have a principled stance to separate themselves from the more extremist elements.
I think SSD’s take is more sensible. The only thing that might happen if Biden won is that the local prosecutor might actually decide to prosecute a few of the idiots instead of letting them go and then the bullshit would wind down naturally. But the prosecutor could do that now or could have months ago. The motivations of the assholes in the streets are completely different from the motivations of the office holders.
I see SSD’s point. I think my point was closer to: Trump can’t do anything about it without being called a tyrant. The office Holders in Oregon and Portland seem to be okay with this, i’ll agree. But their is or was a benefit that they got to make trump look like a dictator if he tried to squash it.
Their is also a cost right not to doing something about the riots, which is that it forces them to acknowledge that BLM isn’t just “Peaceful Protests”.
In short, i stand by the fact that a Biden Admin could, and would squash these riots without any implications of Tyranny.
Y’all are both right. Antifa is a problem for the Dem party right now, but taking notice of this right now helps those on the right who have been trying to get the public to notice what the hell is going on in the streets. So they must stick to the “peaceful protests for justice and to end racism” narrative. A Biden administration will try to quietly curb stomp Antifa. And that’s where the real action will be: What happens when the mainstream of the Dem party tries to curb its left wing (you know, the place where all the energy is)? Intra-party/movement war.
So Chicago 1968?
“And they are probably right.”
Because Portland is so Republican?

As much as people here make fun of how the MSM is nothing but propaganda now, the sad fact is you have to put in some effort and go outside the mainstream to get the counter-narrative.

Trump is Hitler who genetically modified the virus in a lab to kill as many American as he could, especially blacks and gays, who he hates.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/yelp-will-now-identify-businesses-accused-of-racism-on-its-platform/ar-BB19Q7Lm
It seems like that’d be actionable somehow, it ought to be anyway.
I hope they get fucking sued and forced to make a lot of entities/people a multi millionaire.
I already hate Yelp. That’s not going to improve my attitude towards them.
Can’t businesses pay them to “clean up” their Yelp pages? It seems like a simple protection racket to me.
It is. They’ve been sued before because Yelp employees were writing bad reviews of businesses and then contacting those businesses to “assist” them with their profiles for a fee.
Now that I think about it, Yelp is probably losing paying clients (restaurants and bars) hand over fist because of the closures.
This would be a way for them to try to get new income streams. Fuck them sideways with a rusty pitchfork.
Every bar that has an American flag up will be reported as racist. What could possibly go wrong?

Good morning, Glibs! Hi, Winston’s Mom. How is it you got up so early or have you not gone to bed yet?
Here I am in a parking lot waiting for XX to have her driving lesson. I was opposed to paying someone to teach her how to drive, but man, it’s made the world of difference. Good use of $$$. And 2 hours to myself where it’s quiet and I don’t have to wear a mask.
“Good morning, Glibs! Hi, Winston’s Mom. How is it you got up so early or have you not gone to bed yet?”
Sleeping interferes with her profit making efforts…
Admirably hard worker, that one.
And I want to mention that I heard Winston’s mom had a vagina implanted on her hip, cause she wanted to make some extra money on the side..
A little competent professional instruction can really go a long way.
And no, Winston’s Mom, we’re not talking about you…
You think I can’t drive a stick? I’m insulted.
Euphemism?
My Mom tried to teach me to drive. It was a complete disaster. My Dad then taught me.
“You just cut off that car when you merged, you should pay more attention.” That actually happened. my Mom would have been screaming at me.
My wife tried to teach our first kid to drive, but freaked out over every little thing.
I took over without her in the car and it made a world of difference.
The secret is to be a quiet as possible and let them figure it out in a parking lot and then back roads.
My dad taught me to drive. He was a screamer. I screamed back. Got the job done, though.
I taught my youngest brother how to drive a stick because he wasn’t going to have my dad screaming at him. My next-youngest brother refused to learn at all until he was going on 18 and had no plans to subject himself to my dad’s screaming, so my dad asked his bestie to teach him.
That was pretty much our household dynamic. Dad screamed at me, I screamed back, my brothers stayed out of the way and didn’t engage my dad.
The one time my next-youngest brother was forced to engage, my dad moved the goalposts so I was brought into the fight. I recused myself but my dad kept after me until I engaged. Then my brother ducked out. Such a drama queen, always having to have a fight and I was the one who’d give it to him. *sigh*
I was opposed to paying someone to teach her how to drive – here that is not an option… you need to learn from a licensed driving school
My Dad gave one lesson. One. Then he ponied up for driving school. I was a bad student and he was a terrible teacher.
Are we brothers? Dad gave me one lesson, told me to pull over and give him the keys. Said once I get my license, learn yourself.
As much as people here make fun of how the MSM is nothing but propaganda now, the sad fact is you have to put in some effort and go outside the mainstream to get the counter-narrative. Normies hear all the news channels saying the same thing and think if everyone is saying it, it must be true. Trump is Hitler who genetically modified the virus in a lab to kill as many American as he could, especially blacks and gays, who he hates.
I think this is pretty much true. In the rare circumstances where I allow myself to be in the room when the PBS or BBC (They’re unbiased!) news is on, I snort derisively and roll my eyes while my brother nods his head like a good Party member. And when
GoldsteinTrump comes on, the hate flows.To be fair, I can’t really listen to Trump either.

“In 1932, Walter Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for a series of reports about the Soviet Union, eleven of which were published in June 1931. He was criticized for his subsequent denial, and thereby exacerbation of widespread famine (1932–1933) in the USSR, most particularly the famine in Ukraine. Years later, there continue to be calls to revoke his Pulitzer.”

Carville said, “You’re really starting to see separation with these Republican candidates from Trump. All along, people say when are they going to say something?

You know what that’s going to do for African-American turnout in Georgia or North Carolina? Donald Trump is not trying to win this race. He really isn’t. I have no idea who would give him money because the guy is just going all over the place on the debate, all over the place on the stimulus.”
He continued, “I think Speaker Pelosi has a point, that’s something really, really wrong with a politician who’s running for an election who’s not trying to win.

“‘These politicians keep on robbing us’: The chilling social media posts and videos of Trump-loving militiamen who ‘planned to kidnap Michigan’s governor and incite a civil war’
Many of the 13 boasted on social media of their support for Donald Trump, or anarchist beliefs”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8821499/The-chilling-social-media-posts-videos-Trump-loving-13-militia.html
That’s a a big “or”. The only social media stuff I’ve seen so far is that they were “anarcho-communists”.
Except for Pete Musico, the alleged co-founder of the Wolverine Watchmen militia, who arrested and charged with domestic terrorism, but I don’t know what he actually did.
Y’all must come from some soft, sheltered places if you find any of that “chilling.”
What I’m seeing is a bunch of guys, of pretty average intelligence and below-average executive function, who nonetheless understand how they are being lied to and mistreated by the people in power, and who tried to do something about it. Pardon the run-on.
I did get a smile out of the local news spin of the story:
Gov. Mike DeWine says he was not notified of alleged plot with Ohio connections to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
/queue up the four boxes of liberty
I’m beginning to think we’re moving on to the fourth box which makes me nervous.

Hmm, and how many times have you heard exactly this directly from any number of people with a (D) after their name? But stating this on a chat forum makes one a terrorist???
Put y’all back in chains!
“they were “anarcho-communists”
Those are Trump supporters? I think they’re supporting the wrong party.
Apparently, it was an “anarcho-communist” group that didn’t support Trump, and a militia group that did. So if left and right extremists are willing to team up to get rid of a governor, that doesn’t say much for her.
She didn’t support antifa riots?
I mean it’s not hard to understand why everyone else hates her.
Is Anti-government organizing a bad thing?
Remember, Patrick Henry was an anti-government organizer.
My name is Biden and I can’t stop lyin’.
“The FBI arrested a group of militiamen who had a plan to go in and to kidnap the governor of Michigan. You’ll see it in the news tonight, the governor of Michigan. Remember those guys with the assault rifles standing in her driveway? And the president is saying things in my debate with him, like ‘To the Proud Boys and all white supremacists group, stand down, but stand ready.’ This is serious stuff,” Biden said.
He went on to argue that “the words of a president matter.”
“They can cause a nation to have the market rise or fall, go to war or bring peace, but they can also breathe oxygen into those who are filled with hate and danger, and I just think it’s got to stop. The president has to realize the words he utters matter,” the Democrat argued.
I know the media is out there with a narrative, so i don’t know why i still get upset when this is so easily counterd with the fact that Biden has refused to denounce Antifa, simply calling it an IDEA, when they have been at the root of much more violence in the last 6 months than some stupid idiots with a plan to “kidnap” a governor.
The timing of this “plot” (likely instigated by the FBI field agent) is awfully convenient, isn’t it?
Convinent or not, it is quite absurd that they won’t tie Antifa to biden (Harris staffers have bailed them out, and Harris told them to keep going) but instantly a hairbrained scheme that had no legs is “The scariest thing, a harbinger of the right wing terror we live under”.
Let’s count the lies, shall we?
1. There is no evidence the proud Boys are white supremacists
2. There is no indication the arrested “militia men” are Trump supporters
3. Trump never said the Proud Boys should “stand ready”
4. ah, fuck it, the truth doesn’t matter
“2. There is no indication the arrested “militia men” are Trump supporters”
At least one of them was, but arrested doesn’t mean guilty.
One out of how many? And what about the anarchist commie? This shit has nothing to do with Trump.
Well, it’s certainly not his fault, regardless.
I fell much better after I realized number 4. The truth never mattered and they could care less about it. The conservatives that are still trying to point out media hypocrisy at this point are embarrassing and infantile.
1. There is no evidence the proud Boys are white supremacists
In fact, a couple representatives of the Proud Boys have held a joint public statement with BLM representatives to publicly denounce white supremacy.
That’s just what white supremacists would do!
At least one of them is Tulpa.
I like how wanting to abduct the governor of Michigan is considered an “extremist” position. I have a feeling their are a line of people who have urges to do far worse. Of course violence is never the answer and the gov is so cool so I can’t even begin to understand that anti cool mindset.

My bet is Biden & Harris are at the top of this list (along with the Bushes, the Clintons, and the Obamas), where the top tells you those most likely to suck Chicomm dick, while bad orange man is at the bottom. Would not be surprised to find most of our political class members and a lot of our credentialed elite globalist expert class, also at the top.
Biden and Harris are in the CCP’s pockets. We can probably kiss Taiwan goodbye too if they win, I’ve never seen such obsequiousness towards a hostile foreign government out in the open.
Biden has a campaign ad on the TV saying how he’s going to bring back jobs to the US from China (hahhaha). It’s almost like he’s parroting Trump talking points line for line.

Good morning everyone. Kids are off to their 1 day per week of real school, so I’m about to start some hardcore chorin’. After a couple months of no vacancies, I scored a storage unit at the facility nearby so I can start moving all my junk. The television news seems to be full of scare stories about the NAZI hordes who about to pounce upon all of the nation’s state governors.
My kid is going six days a week to make up for the month or so they were closed. The teacher came in and yelled at her and her friend for swapping masks. “Oh, sorry Sensei” and they switched them back.
Wasn’t me!
We put the 8 year old in private school a couple of weeks ago so now he is in school 5 days a week. HCS did not deliver on any of the promises they made to parents and now are about to go all virtual because their in person policy is tied to whatever numbers DHEC spits out. Remarkably, a lot of teachers are still simultaneously complaining and patting themselves on the back. I hope the whole thing fucking dies this school year.
No Daniel, all we’re asking for is that US agricultural corporations who want to sell meat in our supermarkets and school canteens comply with the same standards which British farmers have to meet. That’s better to my mind than putting our trust in non-existent US regulation.

Good news for US farmers and food processors. They must be relived they don’t have to waste any time or money complying with regulations. Strange though… governments tend to like regulation, such a significant sector escaping with no regulation is very strange indeed.
Who is this ignorant person who believes US Agriculture is unregulated?
well Europeans are by definition not ignorant. they just know many things that are not true
You forget the Law of Government Regulation. If X country regulation > Y country regulation then Y country regulation = 0.
Yeah, Europeans love to talk about how parochial and uninformed Americans are, but they tend to be shockingly ignorant about the US and Americans.

You’ve been trained to react. I do the same with anything resembling the sound of kids or dogs vomiting. I’m a very heavy sleeper but the sound of a dog or a kid starting heave will snap me awake immediately.

Driving a stake through the heart of SCIENCE
“This is not just ineptitude, it’s sabotage,” says Jeffrey Shaman, an epidemiologist at Columbia University in New York City, who has modelled the evolution of the pandemic and how earlier interventions might have saved lives in the United States. “He has sabotaged efforts to keep people safe.”
——-
As he seeks re-election on 3 November, Trump’s actions in the face of COVID-19 are just one example of the damage he has inflicted on science and its institutions over the past four years, with repercussions for lives and livelihoods. The president and his appointees have also back-pedalled on efforts to curb greenhouse-gas emissions, weakened rules limiting pollution and diminished the role of science at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Across many agencies, his administration has undermined scientific integrity by suppressing or distorting evidence to support political decisions, say policy experts.
“I’ve never seen such an orchestrated war on the environment or science,” says Christine Todd Whitman, who headed the EPA under former Republican president George W. Bush.
Pontificating hysterics predict end of world.

My preferred variety is spiced rum. I need to open the haitian white rum I’ve had for some time and see what that tastes like.

I’m trying to stop giggling about the stereotype of your bland pallet, preferring spiced rum. Seriously though, I’m curious as to your reason for disregarding aged rums? While I certainly choose juice of the barley (or corn, or rye) first, I’m growing to appreciate the mellow complexity of aged rums.
Because I can’t stand the wood flavor you get in aged rum, or whiskey.

Plantation has some really could rum from Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica.
I think I now own 3 bottles of rum. One is appleton which I bought in case I ever want to make rum cocktails. One is the cubaney 21. And one is Presidente 19yo
I thought Appleton was terrible, but they have so many variations I may have just bought their worst selection. Everything I bought from plantation is good enough to drink neat. Diplimatico and brugal 1888 are both very good.
I got the Appleton on discount for under 100 lei which was ok for a potential cocktail rum. I did not yet try it neat.
The latest mugshots out of antifa rioters in Portland are really something.

Just an idea – a really bad idea.
Why are you talking about an Idea, when there are dangerous right wing bandits out there?
So the FBI has infiltrated every soveriegn citizen, white nationalist and militia seperatist group yet somehow can’t find one agent to monitor this clown group that goes around lighting shit on fire, assaulting people and in some cases murdering people for the past 6 months?
Because it’s just an idea, not an organization!
so is white supremacy.
infiltratedsetup, organized, funded, and instigatedTBH, the same agent did all that on a long weekend, and now they have all 20 of them in custody.
One is a threat to the government and one is a threat to the people. Are you surprised the government picked itself over you?

While absentee balloting is asserted to cause higher rates of rejected ballots, somehow most western states will have lower rates than they did previously including California by quite a lot. This makes no sense. And even less sense that Oregon’s rate would suddenly drop in half when it’s been fraud by mail for over twenty years now.
Well you see when you have a flood of ballots come in, its easier to just let them go on rather than actually check for validity.
They claim that they will match signatures, but I don’t see how they can check millions of signatures in a short time with any accuracy, so yeah, they will let it all through.
Pennsylvania and Michigan are going to be circuses next month. They will make the Florida 2000 fiasco look calm and well-organized.
Good thread here:
“So much of the most impactful Trump-era “reporting” has been proven fraudulent — Cambridge Analytica, Alfa Bank & the Steele Dossier are just the latest — but media outlets don’t want to know because they profited greatly, sold books, & showered themselves with Pulitzers for it….”

Nearly all of it has been proven either untrue or was the exact actions of the forces working against trump without fail.
Greenwald is an honest leftist.
They hate him for it.
Those stories are like 3 years old, that’s like 50 years in the Trump News Cycle.
I don’t even know what Alfa Bank is, and i bet you 100 Satoshis (BCH) that the “man on the street” doesn’t even know what any of those are. Trump covering up his death is what is big right now.
So you’re saying The Hair is in the driver’s seat? Fuck it, I’m voting Trump if that’s the case.
On the one hand, the best way to run a soft coup is to put out so much smoke that everyone assumes there must be fire.
On the other hand, none of them are smart enough for that, and it’s all just been purely emotion-driven, grabbing everything that might stick and amplifying it to no end.
TMITE but they’re not particularly bright or skilled, either.
But the public education wing of the left have been doing their job for at least 100 years, so they don’t have to be bright or skilled.
I grilled a steak on which i put salt pepper garlic thyme cumin coriander paprika and I think it is too much. less is more sometimes.
Yeah, I can’t even with this post.
Maybe a comma would have helped.
Coriander AND cumin? ?
Once he got past salt and pepper it was already overboard.
Garlic and butter don’t hurt either.
I basically put most things I had in the kitchen as an experiment. The only things I had and did not add were turmeric and cayenne pepper
I also had a lemon in the fridge I suppose I could have added zest…
Cumin is one of those spices that have a narrow usage in receipes that can mask the B.O.-esque odor of it.
Cumin is Chili.
…used in chili you mean? Cause cumin is not chili
Chili is not Chili without cumin. So, cumin is chili.
I make a delicious “Cuban Chicken” that I learned from one of my restaurant jobs. Marinate the cuts of your choice overnight in buttermilk, garlic, and cumin. Then, bread and fry in the manner of your choosing; I like about 1/2 breadcrumbs/Parmesan cheese for this. Serve over yellow rice; I like to pair it with fried tomatoes as well.
1 inch top sirloin steak s&p 4 minutes total flip every minute to get good grill marks / letterkenny
Perhaps take everything other than the salt & pepper and make a nice herbed butter to finish the meat with at table?
if it was fresh herbs maybe but this was all dry pre-ground stuff…
Cumin on steak, seems weird to me.
I cum after I eat my steak, but that’s just how well I make it.
look it was right there on a shelf
A fetish for everyone I suppose.
Oh…cumin. Nevermind
“pepper garlic thyme cumin coriander paprika” all likely to burn on the grill.
yes some did not in the end give much flavor
It’s all about the SPG (salt, pepper, garlic).

CK3 Story:
Am i the asshole for imprisoning and disinheriting my son because he slept with my wife?
were you faithful to your wife at the time?
Yes, i was actually playing a “Rightous, God fearing” character. He was a reaction to his quite evil Father.
There are two CK3 answers to that – You overreacted, or Why didn’t you execute him?
And become a Kin Slayer? No thanks.
What? You didn’t form a custom religion of murder-cannibals where having kin as the main course at a public feast wouldn’t be seen as out of line?
Is your wife his mother? If so execute the abomination. If not, see if he wants to tag team next time.
Yes she was his mother. My character is forgiving, so i’m going to keep him in prison, but i thought disinheriting was a sufficiently bad punishment.
I guess i should have noticed something was up with my wife when i caught her father (the KING!) trying to sneak into her bedroom.
I think the real problem is that wife.
Yeah, sounds like time to clean house and marry a rival kingdom’s daughter.
Oh, and important detail – was the wife in question the son’s mother? And what was the difference in age?
Jasper crimony, a government agent making this into a porn discussion! The fix is in fellas!
There’s a forgiveness matrix which requires this information.

I found this story on a local news site this morning from Scripps, under the headline shown in the url.
https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national/president-trump-reacts-to-plot-to-kidnap-michigan-governor-gretchen-whitmer
The story includes Biden’s and Whitmer’s reaction to Trump’s tweet on the matter, but doesn’t include…. Trump’s tweet.
Also, did you know that Trump tweeted “Liberate Michigan” several months ago, which caused hateful militia members to plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan?
Well, The Boys season 2 taught me, and the rest of the gullible viewers, that Liberty is code for Nazi. So of course. Also, took 2 seasons but they finally revealed Queen Maeve’s super power, ‘Deus Ex Machina!’.
no spoilers asshole.
If that cryptic spoils it for you, I think you know the story better than I.
I’m just so annoyed by the Nazi turn. Could have just been subtle and been corporate facists ala disney but no have to go full bore. I think there have been more media with nazi antagonists the last 4 years than in anytime in us history even while we were actually killing them.
“no spoilers asshole. that’s MY job.”
exactly. Also the aryan tone of homelander was kind of there from the begining I kind of figured it was just going to be a subtle nod and wink along but noone can have a subtle tone or be clever or not just hit you over the head repeatedly with the messaging.
the aryan tone of homelander was kind of there from the begining
He’s SOOOOO blonde.
Like, it hurts my eyes, blonde.
I think there have been more media with nazi antagonists the last 4 years than in anytime in us history even while we were actually killing them.
It’s the fixed point of evil for popular morality. Everything has been reduced to equation with Nazism. It requires no creativity, thoughtfulness, or empathy to be able to write about it. I think the (current) golden age of television is now fully spent; sure, every television show to make it past one season went up its own asshole eventually, but now they’ve got no character depth, either.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but just imagine the reaction if it would have been discovered that anyone connected to Black Lives Matter was plotting to kidnap a United States Governor.
In all honesty I’d start respecting their organization a bit more as they are actually beginning to focus on goals that can actually be achieved as opposed to being race baiting grifters looking to shake down corporate donors and weaponizing the system against people who have nothing to do with their alleged grievances.
We already know what happens when people connected to BLM assassinate cops in Dallas and loot and burn cities.
those guys had nothing to do with the movement scruffy, besides it’s just an idea not an organization.
I mean, you’d hear nothing about it, and what you would hear is about how it is actually all white supremacists that have infiltrated.
Imagine the reaction if a bunch of neo-nazis were burning and looting stores and residences – oh wait, in the giant consensual hallucination that makes up Jemele Hill’s reality, that’s already happening…
I guess Ted Wheeler is just a mayor.
The comments are retarded.
Listen, if academia, entertainment, big tech, and most of the government, is on your side, you are not the resistance.
Hell, if the governor, the mayor, and law enforcement are on your side you definitely are NOT the resistance.
Speaking of destroying norms…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced legislation to create a commission that would allow Congress to oust a president from office, using the 25th Amendment, a day after she accused President Trump of being “in an altered state” from his coronavirus treatment.
“This is not about President Trump,” Pelosi said Friday. “He will face the judgment of the voters. But he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents.”
Pelosi had previewed the new legislation on Thursday, telling reporters that she would be “talking about the 25th Amendment” on Friday — which allows for the vice president to become acting president if it is determined that the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
This is not how laws work in relation to the constitution, you cunte. There is a constitutional method for the legislature to remove a sitting president and this ain’t it.
I’m pretty sure thats not what you said yesterday. walking that back i see?
It grabbed some of the headlines after a bad debate performance from Harris so mission accomplished. Maybe they’re thinking about preparing the field for ditching Biden in the future as well.
I’m pretty sure that 25A was baked into their choice of Biden in the first place.
This.
I’m pretty sure ‘don’t agree with us and won’t do what we say’ is enough reason! /the left
Amendment XXV, Section 4 (emphasis mine):
It is definitely constitutional for Congress to create a commission under the 25th Amendment. Of course, that requires both houses of Congress to pass it and the President to sign it.
That’s not to say it’s a good idea.
Do they really want a President Pence that bad?
No problem, then they just remove Pence.
Hence the stories about his “pink eye” and corona’rona
That is how I read it too. However they can go through their show trial and all that has to happen is for Mike Pence to lean in close to the microphone and say, “No.”
Yeah, they do seem to miss that part about the VP always being involved.
Yeah. Though pelosi may be right. This isn’t about Trump. It’s about getting President Kamala. Cause Harris would pull that trigger faster than you could say “So Help Me God”
“Harris would pull that trigger faster than you could say “So Help Me God””
Jerry Miculek would be impressed!
They tried that already, didn’t stick. This just the next spoonful of spaghetti they are desparately flinging at the wall.
I’m taking today off and was watching YouTube. Bad English on Asian clothing isn’t a new thing, but I swear this one was by somebody playing an inside joke.
What woman doesn’t want “milkfed” across her chest when wearing fashionable clothing?
https://youtu.be/R-2QTQHO07g
What’s it supposed to say?
Probably just that. I’m at a loss otherwise.
It may just be a dirty mind, but I seem to recall a number of references to milk consumption leading to a more ample busom in japanese media. So it makes perfect sense as a meta reference.
What size of “A Bathing Ape” should I have ordered for you?
Milk Fed was started by Sophia Coppola:

Well, you know, it’s Japan, so there’s no way I’m going to figure it out on my own.

Funny enough I have several Chinese friends that are, but not my Japanese friends.

What’s the best browser for a crappy Android phone?
That depends on how crappy it is. I’ve used Firefox for Android for a while, plus uBlock Origin, and it works fine for me.
Turn off automatic updates and go track down a Firefox version below 79 if you’re gonna do Firefox on Android. They done fucked it up.
The answer is that I’ve not found a great browser on Android. Either there are performance issues, they don’t support add-ons, they hoover up your data, or they eat battery.
I strongly recommend against running a browser with no security updates on your phone. It’s trivial to compromise most important accounts (bank, credit card, etc.) if you can compromise a cell phone.
I’m using the DuckDuckGo browser. It’s pretty solid.
I use it on my PC. But I haven’t tried installing Monocle on it, so I’m still using Chrome for Glibs to get that stuff.
It’s CAB (crappy android browser). I use Google since it’s already installed and I only use a browser on my phone if it’s an emergency, like the power is off and I need to report it.
I don’t think it’s Google, but I can’t seem to find the name of the browser installed on it now. The icon looks like the Earth.
I think Chrome is the default Browser for Android. Sorry I said Googe, duh.
I think Chrome is the default browser for Android. Sorry, I said Google, duh, I of course meant Chrome.
I don’t think it’s Chrome. It’s also weird I can’t find where it says what it is.
Probably Samsung installed that on my phone.
Go to Setings, Apps, Defaults and it will tell you what it is on your phone.
I used chrome on my phone once to look up the ph# for the power company to report an outage.
I got an attack ad in my mail yesterday. Apparently the GOP challenger (its a very close race, the Dem won last time because Mark Sanford was his opponent, so yeah) is a Fair Tax proponent. I have issues with the Fair Tax, but this ad so misrepresented her position that I have to vote for her. I was going to anyway, the LP doesnt have a candidate in the race. But good God, this ad was awful.
I had to figure out from the distortions that it was talking about the Fair Tax. He could have run a legitimate attack ad against the Fair Tax, I don’t like it, but this wasn’t it.
HBO Max is showing a special benefit for “When We All Vote” on October 15 – apparently a new episode of “The West Wing” with original cast. Of course, special appearances by Michael Obama, Bill Clinton, Lin-Manuel Miranda and a host of other liberals.
Of course they mean vote, not vote for Democrats.
Government by masturbatory fantasy.
I’m so over woke. It pervades everything, I really don’t understand how so many people enjoy and just lap up out and out boring corporate propaganda.
They don’t enjoy it. It’s a tool that the corporatists use to keep the dipshits in check. No one wants to become a lamp post decoration.
Look at the make believe world, where all the make believe actors play make believe and then look down their noses at you for voting against their interests.
No true respectable punk rocker would endorse anyone for president.

‘Manterruption’ sounds like a childish slang word for ejaculation.
“manterruption”
Thanks, I’m stealing that.
And look, Marianne is there, how cute.
Its not influence of foreign powers when the comment on our election in a way that goes after a specific candidate and helps another who failed. But if Putin says he prefers trump over biden it’s the end of democracy.

Of all the modern trends, the childish analogies are the most annoying. “Let’s interrupt the gender bias”, “teach men not to rape”, “doctors should be able to prescribe housing”, etc. The world does not work like that, and the devil is very much in the details.
“A member of the militia group contacted the FBI at the first mention of kidnapping Whitmer—which was well before the LIBERATE MICHIGAN tweet—and the plot was monitored by law enforcement the entire time.”
https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/1314584329599807490
Look Robby, be a good beltway libertarian and shutup.
Left unsaid is the part where the person who first floated the idea of the kidnapping was a FedGov agent.
Doesn’t fit the narrative.
That’s pretty good, Mikey.
I’m proud of my only senator.
Robby is trying to protect Trump.
“Amy Cooter, a Vanderbilt sociologist who studies militias, believes Trump’s call on people to stand up to their governors has factored into the actions of militia types in general, but she tells Reason she couldn’t say for sure whether it had an impact on this particular group.
According to the affidavit, militiamen believed Whitmer and other state governors who had implemented strict lockdowns were violating the U.S. Bill of Rights and should be tried as traitors. This talk alarmed at least one member of the militia, who then contacted law enforcement to warn them. This is an interesting but unsurprising fact of the case, says Cooter.
“In usual times, about 90 percent of militia groups are what we call constitutionalists, meaning they are law abiding, they see themselves as working with law enforcement, while still being prepared and watching for signs of overreach,” she says. “It is quite typical that groups in that category see it as their job to watch out for extremists.”
From there on, the FBI monitored all aspects of the conspiracy to kidnap Whitmer. The group’s efforts to procure gear and weapons were conducted with law enforcement’s active involvement. There was never any chance that the conspirators could pull off their crime, and Whitmer was in no real danger.
Even so, the governor clearly sees the arrest of the six men as a good opportunity to excoriate Trump, whom she deemed “complicit” in their crimes. “Hate groups heard the president’s words not as a rebuke, but as a rallying cry,” she said. “When our leaders speak, their words matter.””

“her vacant seat by filled by a new president”
This was not a wish that her seat be filled by whoever wins in November.
This is a wish that it be left vacant for 4 years if Trump wins. Because if Trump wins, he’s not a new President.
Come hell or high water, the Dems will make sure Trump is not president come Jan 21 2021
They can try.
