no shit
good riddance
How’s the paw, Paw-Paw?
half of my finger turned black but mostly healing, thank you for asking

Manufacturers of blister packaging next-hardest hit.
Right? Good riddance.
Nard-less Wonders, the lot of them!
The only thing I fear is what will fill the vacancy.
I see an explosion coming. Reps will self-destruct, Dems will drift further to the left. Conversely, North America turns fascist. Fuck it, I’m sorta old.
I wish I could disagree with you, but while the demise of the republican party is a welcome change, especially if it gets taken over or replaced by a party that actually sends people that want to serve the American people to office for a change, the fact that the democrat leadership is hardcore about controlling their lemmings, will allow them to do massive damage to liberty, all in the pretense of security or some such nonsense, while consolidating power. While the democrats fooled everyone that what they wanted was European style socialism – like Denmark or Sweden – what they are really looking to deliver is the Chinese CCP model: one party tyrannical rule.
Baseball birthdays today start, and end, with Curt “fuck off, slavers” Flood.
Curt’s on-field contributions (cut short as they were) are also very underrated I think. He was a very fine player. The sim league I play in is actually named for him.
He was in decline even before his year “off”.
But yes, he had a very good career up until 1968. Something like 6 consecutive years of MVP votes. 1969 was down, and he retired in April 1971 after a horrible start.
He was in decline but he still lost a not insignificant amount of career WAR from the interruption/halting of his career, don’t you think? He was still a 3 or 4 win player in 1969.
Fun fact: Flood, Pinson, and Frank Robinson played High School ball together on the same team. All 3 originally signed with the Reds.
McConnell told his Republican colleagues that Trump’s actions last week were worthy of impeachment, according to The New York Times, which cited anonymous sources.
No one will be ignoring the elephant in the room if there isn’t one.
*golf clap*
Anonymous sources.
GTFO.
True, but I could see McConnell being a douchebag on this.
He’s a swamp critter, but is he that stupid? I dunno.
Stupid or not, I dunno. It’s how the game has been played for years. It’s the old, “Oh yeah, Trump voters. What are you gonna do? Vote Democrat?” The public has a short memory.
Votes don’t matter anymore. We saw what happened in the swing states.
And these lizards know not to buck their Chinese masters. The CCP wants revenge, that’s why the democrats also want it, and McConnel is owned by the CCP. Career suicide or not, the end of the republican party or not, McConnel’s loyalties are to the CCP and the deep state. And the Deep State needs Trump neutered and gone, or getting back to business as usual can’t happen with any veneer of legitimacy.
McConnel likely wants a trial so they can publicly humiliate the democrats and their flimsy evidence. Oh wait, the democrats have no shame.
It worked so well last time.
Hey Red!
Mornin’ Fes!
Morning both of ya’ll.
State offices closed today. But I’ve got appointments.
Morning, UCS.
what actions exactly?
Still breathing.
Requesting that people peacefully protest. Apparently it is the worst presidential crime in US history.
They didn’t HAVE to protest. Trump did that.
IMMMMMPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEAACH!111eleventy!!11
Funny how 7 months of “almost peaceful protests”, encouraged by team blue, where the VP and the party put up money to bail out the rioters so they could keep doing their thing, resulting in billions in damage, countless lives ruined, and close to 50 people dead, was always reported as something we needed more of (at least until they too started targeting the political class), huh? But the one time the other team does some of the same, I only hear that it was terrorism and a coup attempt, because some protesters that died from heart attacks, a pro-Trump cop that may or not may have been beaten to death by supposed Trump people that sure look very Antifa/BLMish to me, and a lady that was shot by the capitol cops, out of thousands.
I saw the speech Trump made, and anyone reading into it that he wanted people to riot – especially those peddling the idiotic idea that the people that stormed the capitol were going to take hostages and that would somehow allow Trump to keep the presidency, the height of both stupidity in abuses of logic and projection – is a fucking bullshitter. Especially when you belong to the camp that told people, for months, we needed more BLM & Antifa destruction in order for the displeased and disenfranchised to show their displeasure at the bad evil orange guy.
Yeah, not going to let the people that spent 4 years making up lies and trying to undermine a president that wasn’t one of them get away with that. If we do we might as well get our fucking CCP social score number already and get to sending the people that displease the masters to the camps.
I still question whether this is true.
It will follow similar treadmills. Unnamed sources familiar with his thinking -> he told unnamed sources -> unnamed sources say he told others -> …
We only had 10 members of the House vote against, and there will be fewer senators voting against I predict. It’s just not like him to bother with a losing cause unless he wants to waste time.
This. He’s a political creature. Every action has a purpose. If he’s bothering with it, there’s a reason. It may not be a good one from a liberty perspective, but there is a purpose, and being that the clock is 2 years until they have any hope of regaining any kind of power, wasting time seems like a legit strategy (from a purely political point of view). If they can waste a few weeks early on with allowing the Democrats to put all of their fire on Trump it 1) gives them more than enough time for the democrats to overplay their hand, and 2) may help take some wind out of their sails on things they want to make an impact on early.
Isn’t that against the rules? Like talking to the Rushunz about easing sanctions before Trump was in office…
Rules are for the other side.
I’m so fucking over it. There is zero willingness to abide by the law or provide equal protection under it.
If McConnell goes along with impeachment, he will be personally responsible for the destruction of the GOP. Maybe that’s a good thing, I don’t know. But I do know that the Democrats will see it as carte blanche to wage war on dissenters.
“Rules are for the other side.”
I tell the morons that say we have a problem today because of bad orange man, that he is but the symptom of a far bigger problem, and the most important underlying real cause of that bigger problem is precisely the total lack of shame in showing that there really is a different set of rules for those that are part of the team blue and rulership class and the rest of us. So many people that actually subscribe to the belief that they have nothing to worry about because they don’t do bad things or hold the right beliefs are going to find out that the system they now have accepted doesn’t need you to actually do anything wrong. They can just make up something to take you out, and you have no recourse. When the rulers live above the law and the law is no longer fair, people will take the law into their own hands.
The “Law” serves the people that write the “Law”. We’re fucked, good and proper.
“Rules are for the other side.”
The leftie shithead who stormed the Capitol and is on tape urging people to break shit got released pending trial.
The redneck who put his feet up on Pelosis desk was released pending trial, but then Robert Muellers pet judge, an Obama apointee, overruled that decision and ordered him in to be jailed.
We don’t live in a republic or even a democracy anymore. The justice system is feudal, there are quite literally different laws for peasants and the nobility.
Biden also will initiate his “100-Day Masking Challenge” with a mask mandate on federal property and during interstate travel.
How is that a “challenge” if it’s mandated. And, it’s a good time to start a window tinting business.
buckle up
its gonna be 4 years of complete insanity
I’ve said it before – this transition to the pre-Harris administration has been giving me the same instinctual reaction that I always felt when riding in an unstable aircraft which seemed to be doomed to a crash landing. I’m expecting this thing to go south any minute.
You get that “twitchy eye” feeling too?
Brooks, if you like Guy Ritchie movies, try The Gentlemen. Came out last year, and is in the same vein as Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. As well as Snatch.
I almost soiled my britches laughing. Trigger warning for the gentle folk: the word “cunt” is used liberally as a noun, verb, and dangling participle.
How…appropriately placed. 😉
What? I have *no* idea how this showed up here.
Squirrels are frisky today.
THERE ARE FOUR FUCKING LIGHTS! NOT FIVE…
During interstate travel? LOL get fucked!
What counts as interstate travel?
I have to have it on while crossing a state line, but not while traveling within a state?
That seems pointless.
Just when I think I hate lawyers, this little loop hole is exposed.
Or does it mean on actual interstates? That’s how I read it. Who the hell knows?
I’d like for you to stop reading things, please.
Cut me some slack, I haven’t had my coffee yet.
Just stop reading when you come to obvious and soul crushing conclusion, sheesh.
I imagine a convoy of a couple thousand cars, drivers all maskless; when one car gets pulled over, they all stop at the side of the road, get out and wander around maskless. See how many troopers the state is willing to dedicate to handling all those tickets/arrests. Make a big deal.
*imagines all the idiots on H1 in Hawaii donning masks*
All roads connect to other states (Hawaii’s through high speed rail).
didnt some moron advise or demand recently that people mask up when home alone
There have been experts saying here and there that you should mask up to screw your wife so probably yes.
Maybe their wives are hideous?
Maybe the expert’s wives are hideous to behold. Ben Franklin said that you could place a basket over their upper body and never tell the difference.
I don’t believe this means people travelling on Interstate Highways in private vehicles, even if they cross state lines. I believe this is a mandate, er suggestion, which will be applied to carriers such as airlines, bus companies, passenger railways, etc. As always, the interstate commerce clause looms large.
Quick google and you’re right. Fox news, ugh.
Yes, Biden is carefully constructing his edicts to control everything he currently has power over.
Which means his challenge or whatever is really just pointless except for the purpose of getting it into the news cycle for the media to carry his water. I am not sure there is a federal facility that hasn’t mandated masks by their parent administrator or secretary and are there carriers that haven’t at least on paper, instituted some sort of mask policy?
The Post Office, last I checked, recommends but does not require customers wear masks. If there is a state or local mask mandate/ordinance/what-have-you, postal employees are required to wear a mask.
A few weeks ago I was in my local Post Office to send off payment for a GunBroker auction. I did not wear a mask. Everyone else did. No one cared.
Suddenly, borders are important.
*eyeroll*
At least it’s a pointless flex.
There aren’t federal properties or businesses doing interstate travel that won’t require a mask already during that time.
Keystone getting cancelled is very bad for Canada. It’s especially bad for all of the honorary deplorables that work in the oil-sands of Alberta.
An opposition party that wasn’t complete shit would point out to Americans that the left’s energy goal is to triple your monthly utility bill.
An opposition party that wasn’t complete shit would point out to Americans that the left’s energy goal is to
triple your monthly utility bill.deprive you of two thirds of your energy consumption.The reality for most people who have cars and kids that eat all their disposable income. I still don’t want to triple what I spent last month to heat the one room I keep comfy.
^this^
its about deprivation
destroying peoples ability to live well
proggie relative explained to me a week ago why poverty is not a bad thing
Everyone having less balances the scales of justice.
“You first.”
*Chugs beer and leans back*
Amen. Everybody talks about how it’s impossible to replace all our current energy production with “Green Energy” without realizing that the watermelons have no intention of replacing all our current energy production. It’s the forbidden White Supremacy/Colonialist/Capitalist thinking that you should expect to have electricity any time you want it, 24/7/365. You’ll be told how much electricity you *need* and you’ll be properly grateful to get it, you maggot. And if you’re not properly grateful? Well, no electricity for you!
Don’t bother checking the thermostat. Pepco shut it off.
Things to think about when shopping for a cloud enabled thermostat.
It is best to think of the Internet of Things as Intrusion into every Thing.
I have a homebrewed home automation system that uses openhab–any device I have that tries to connect outside our home LAN gets blocked by the firewall.
The real deal one’s will actually tell you this is the goal. They want to go back to an agrarian society.
The claim would then be fact checked by Politifact, debunked by both the NYT and the WaPo, refuted by all the TV news channels, and then mocked by the late night comics, SNL, and all the other culture clout people.
All the bad things that are going to happen under the new regime will be blamed on Trump. Every single one of them.
“An opposition party that wasn’t complete shit would point out to Americans that the left’s energy goal is to triple your monthly utility bill.”
it is worse than that. A country can neither have a good economy nor security if its energy needs are held hostage by others. The rulership class needs American energy independence to not exist, because so much of the horrible policies that subjugate American people to the will of unlawful global entities are excused by the need to appease those that control our energy generation.
And mind you, when most people can’t afford their energy bill, government can come in to subsidize it, and then control you through your dependency. These people want to make sure the serfs know they can be made a non entity if they don’t comport and comply.
A country can neither have a good economy nor security if its energy needs are held hostage by others.
That is certainly what the Japanese of the 1930s thought.
They weren’t wrong.
Why do you think team blue is hell bent on making sure America is not energy independent?
The post-war era says otherwise. And it’s funny given how the Chinese are emulating the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere plan these days.
“The post-war era says otherwise”
It does not. Japans sea lanes have been guaranteed in the postwar era because they were first occupied and then a staunch ally of the United States. They import 3 million barrels of oil a day, and they can do that because they are best buddies with the only extant blue water fleet. As long as they are America’s allies, the energy keeps flowing.
“Being best buddies with the biggest meanest country in the world” is a different way of securing energy, but its still securing energy. You either need your own domestic sources, you need to be big and powerful enough to secure the lines of supply, or you need an ally willing to do it for you.
The sovereign govt of Japan does NOT guarantee it’s own access to energy, it “accepts” our “protection” of that access (and this is a very large reason for American interest in the Mid East), as well as free shipping lane access.
Your premise of being best buddies with America does not square with Alex’s assertion. It leaves Japan dependent on the U.S. – and in the short run of the post-war era, that’s worked out; the long term is still open to debate.
Alex said this
“A country can neither have a good economy nor security if its energy needs are held hostage by others.”
The US is not holding Japan’s energy needs hostage, just like the US isn’t holding Canada hostage with shouldering the burden of continental defense. It could, if it so chose, but it does not and has not in the past.
It doesn’t matter if your water comes from the pipes or a well, as long as you have water. If you don’t have water, that’s the problem. Water from a pipe is better than a dry well.
They were right, though.
I believe it also means more Canadian oil will be diverted to our new best buddies in China.
That’s the real reason for the opposition. Double win if the energy goes to China AND denies the U.S. energy independence.
The Biden administration has already unrolled its plan to return to the 2015 nuclear deal and has begun holding quiet talks with Iran, an Israeli TV station reported Saturday.
I was under the impression that an incoming admin was not supposed to speak to foreign governments.
If not for double standards, we wouldn’t have any at all.
When the GOP takes back the House in 2 years, they need to have something to foolishly impeach over.
Those rules, all of them, apply to establishment outsiders only.
I see Apple is backtracking their Parler ban if Parler agrees to more moderation.
Something niggling in the back of my brain says that the ban had more to do with creating the appearance of unruly Trump supporters than any actual calls to violence.
Because if they apply the same standards evenly, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube should be long gone from the App Store.
The goal will be for Parler to be the same type of “moderated” platform as Twitter et al. And it will work, I assume. Fortunately, they’d have to handcuff the entire internet like China if they really want to stop millions of pissed off people from connecting.
You can hop on any of the large platforms and catalog death threats to various people all day every day. The ban and the insistence on moderation is just an attack on a competitor on the aspect, being to say what you want to say, that gives them a competitive advantage.
I love how the capitol protesters are simultaneously depicted as incompetent fools (Buffalo Guy being Exhibit A), and scary, dangerous domestic terrorists.
Schrödinger’s threat!
Whatever the narrative demands.
They’ll have to hire a bunch of censors to sit around and block anything that Apple considers objectionable. Why in the world would parler assent to that? There would be little reason for them to exist outside the selling point that they don’t censor their users.
That’s not a very grand gesture considering that Parler, as of right now, ceases to exist. Carrying the app for a site that doesn’t exist means jack shit.
“Overall, Yelp’s data shows that business closures have continued to rise with a 34% increase in permanent closures since our last report in mid-July,” Justin Norman, vice president of data science at Yelp, told CNBC.
No great loss. The Ministry of Plenty will allocate those resources more efficiently.
Fuck Yelp. I hope those con artists and extortionists rot in Hell.
Their entire business model is based on extorting money out of business owners by soliciting bad reviews (or creating them themselves). Now they’ve got a “Report a Racist Business” option as well.
Google Maps allows business owners to flag their business as woman owned, minority owned, and LGBTQ friendly now.
Let people hoist their flags. It will make it easier to avoid them.
I don’t mind that at all. It’s a positive piece of information, rather than a negative piece of information. Its something objectively provable. The problem with the “Report a Racist Business” is that the SJWs think anyone whos not of the left is racist. They’ll stop at Mas Country Diner and flag it as racist because Ma is sitting at the register wearing her Trump 2020 shirt, even if Ma treats everyone with equal kindness. Shes a racist because shes a Trump supporter. It’s not like you have to post video of the owner using a racial slur, you just make shit up for Internet points. Like all the “racist notes on the receipt” hoaxes.
The left’s enemy is not the right, it’s humanity. The left considers everyone racist, themselves included, and is offended when other’s don’t self-flagellate enough.
Biden also will initiate his “100-Day Masking Challenge” with a mask mandate on federal property and during interstate travel. Klain promised the president-elect would sign additional executive orders on climate change and health care access in the first week of the new administration.
Luckily I have no purpose to visit federal property (but I wonder if these cuntes intend to include national parks).
Anywho, gotta nip that prosperity in the bud.
*President-elect Joe Biden plans to cancel the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office, according to several news sources.
The decision delighted advocates of the so-called “Green New Deal,” but will disappoint Biden’s own political allies in the trade union movement, who had backed the pipeline for the thousands of jobs it would create.
That shit hasn’t been built yet?
Trump didn’t care, as long as he got a few miles of wall built his ego was satiated.
Wouldn’t matter anyway. Atlantic Coast Pipeline jumped through all the hoops and suffered all the lawsuits only to be under construction and then canceled by the gov’t.
Yeah well funded lefty lawyers just judge shop until they find a Sierra Club card holding lifelong environmentalist who will of course refuse to recuse themselves.
This too is a problem – and no one thinks about how to attack the funding of these groups, or how to force them to spend resources to reduce what is available to the mission.
“but I wonder if these cuntes intend to include national parks”
Rebel Scum, folks. A funny, funny Glib. Give him a big hand…
OF COURSE the fecking will, RS. They love to use parks and monuments as playthings. Remember how there was always money to station rangers at park entrances during theoretical govenment shutdowns?
They notoriously closed the Colonial Parkway when Obama enacted his little temper tantrum during the shutdown years ago.
I think if they did it again people would just remove the barriers and go on about their business as it is an important road for commuting in Williamsburg.
They closed the World War II Memorial. They put up barriers around an open air monument. It cost more to man the barriers than it would have to keep it open.
And a bunch of WW2 vets just moved the barriers and went on in anyway. There’s an apocryphal story of one of them telling a park cop that “…Normandy was closed when we got there, too.”
Luckily I have no purpose to visit federal property (but I wonder if these cuntes intend to include national parks).
Dude.
Post offices.
I’m wondering what the stick will be. That’s the real part of this whole thing. The airlines, buses, and trains already mandate masks. Biden’s actions will turn it from company policy where the most that can happen is the company refuses service (bans you) to some sort of federal violation, maybe even prosecutable.

“We are going to have to figure out the OAN and Newsmax problem. These companies have freedom of speech, but I’m not sure we need Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and such bringing them into tens of millions of homes,”
“We”.
I shouldn’t be flabbergasted, but I am. We’re headed straight for totalitarianism and they’re cheerleading it.
There’s always hope. Being ungovernable doesn’t mean you have to be violent. Hopefully, people will learn that they don’t need the state and their cronies to live. Price to pay, but it will be worth it if people try.
Doesn’t matter. There’s still withholding tax.
The people that spent the last 4 years “resisting” are worried that since they used scorched earth tactics, the other side could return the favor, and make life hell for them by not accepting them as legitimate. So now they need to shut everyone down. Since the calls to unity fell on deaf ears, for a bunch of good reasons, amongst them most importantly that it only came after these crooks managed to steal back power and really was nothing but a bunch of platitudes because the goal is to punish anyone that objects to their power grab, they now are no longer worried about the optics of seeking revenge and using force to do away with their enemies. And have no doubt that they see us as enemies.
they don’t think any further than the possible ratings boost that occurs because they are one of the 3 channels left.

But who knows? will the Illinois State Patrol be sitting at the Iowa line on I-80? I would put nothing past them.
Good morning, everybody! And if I understand the rules here, I’m supposed to say “First!”.
I have a theory that with what’s going on in Washington to “protect against attacks” and given that you can tell what Democrats are planning on doing by what they accuse the other side of planning on doing – well, let’s just say Joe Biden is going to enjoy the shortest Presidency of all time. And then the Democrats will have the perfect excuse to declare martial law and “temporarily” invoke emergency powers to suspend the Constitution as well as rounding up all the seditious traitors who might have ever spoken a word of encouragement about He Who Shall Not Be Named.
We are one incident away from the Insurrection Act and with all of the antagonization taking place they just might get it but I don’t think it’s a fomal plan, it’s just a bunch of dumbasses blundering themselves into a trainwreck.
That’s an interesting theory, JK. I hope you’re wrong.
I see this as more of a panicky overreaction and bad third-world political theater. The razor wire and soldiers are just there for show. A military presence is a de facto military imprimis for the inaugurations, and presumably not something the generals would have done on their own. It’s all about Schumer and AOC and the photo ops.
Yeah, these people aren’t exactly 3D chess masters.
I have zero doubt that the Dems and much of the GOP would happily use the military against America citizens. I think this is the first steps towards that… normalizing military presence, including checkpoints, and them taking orders from the pols. Especially when considered in combination with the parallel purge going through the military and law enforcement.
We can only hope there will some resistance among the military rank and file.
Yep.
And they haven’t considered what creating a sudden class of unemployed, unemployable people with guns and tactical training will lead to. Crime is gonna soar. It’s going to be like the terrain in Heinlein’s “I will Fear No Evil.”

“Donald Trump, in my opinion, is a career criminal, and what he does is commit crimes, and I’m sure — look what’s going on. Read the paper today, and — and we don’t know that they are paying trump, but this is what he has done, and anybody that pardons him or thinks of pardoning him. Nixon is a different situation. He did some bad things. I do not believe that Richard Nixon was a career criminal. He lied and okayed crimes in his own interest. I think Trump is an entirely different case. I think there would be an eruption in this country to the likes that you can’t imagine. I don’t think President-elect Biden has any intention of pardoning him, and not only do I hope they don’t pardon him. I hope the new attorney general finds if there are have had crimes that are committed that they indict him.”
Fucking Carville.
Clinton ran a goddamned crime syndicate while in office. Selling secrets to China was just a portion of it.
Classic progjection
And Obama took the corruption of the Clintons to a new level. The fucker got us Trump. But these crooks want to project and pretend the problem is the other people that resist their criminal activities…
Please, name the actual crimes that objectively violated the relevant criminal statutes.
Or shut the fuck up.
That sumbitch has some of Goebbels DNA, doesn’t he?
That’s the thing, isn’t it? It’s not like we haven’t seen this shit before, yet most people are still oblivious to what’s happening.
That is by design. Two or three generations of people that have been indoctrinated rather than educated has left a giant hole that these fucking tyrannical fucks are happy to take advantage of.
I do love how they always fall back on old reliables.
“Look, Nixon was bad, but looking back he was so much more reasonable, moderate, and not Hilter. Not like the current Republican, who actually is Hitler.”
I hope Trump lives to be 100, so that if we still do have free elections he can hammer every Democrat who says “Gosh Donald Trump was just so moderate and reasonable compared to Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis is Double Secret Hitler!!!”
Glenn Greenwald is doing God’s work in the toughest neighborhood right now on censorship and the plan to bring the War on Terror home and turn it against Trump supporters and anyone vaguely on the right.
Greenwald’s a good man but much of the left has already smeared him as a Russian stooge. Like with Assange, that love affair has long since gone south.
Yes.
They’ve turned on him, but that actually makes him better.
Luckily I have no purpose to visit federal property (but I wonder if these cuntes intend to include national parks).
Visit Yellowstone? Who would do that, unless they had a death wish?
East coast. More likely Shenandoah for me.
I have no problem with the scorched-earth destruction of the Republican Party, but I am not exactly optimistic about what will replace it. 90’s Bill Clintonism wity a gooey Romneyite center probably, which will still be the greatest threat to democracy since Adolph Trump.
They are counting on apathy and defeatism to replace it. Fuck them.
in other words “meet the new boss”
’90s Clintonism with a gooey Romneyite center is the Republican Party now so why bother? If the party is torn down the replacement will likely be more populist and, unfortunately, socially conservative.
Yeah, that is something I don’t quite get – the idea that what replaces the Republican Party will obviously be better.
Republican party isn’t going away, while the dems have superior organization and cultural power the republicans actually have an incredible edge candidate wise still bench is far deeper with way more diversity(poltics wise anyway). Although I wouldn’t mind seeing the repubs going scorched earth either. Also the dems are fucking trying to make the republicans one thing I never thought was possible counterculturally cool.
The GOP has as many safe congressional districts as the Dems. If AOC can spout shit without re-election repercussions, then there are GOP congressmen who can too. They just need to use their brains (think Buckley style insults) instead of coming across as crazy. Rand Paul can emerge as the leader, and, by the way, Rand is a real DOCTOR.
If you think we get a rand paul character instead of a populist strongman at this point I admire your optimism.
I finally got that point across to my wife this weekend.
What comes next is only a raising of the stakes, not a lessening. Our leaders are damned morons playing with fire and gasoline.
You can’t even blame people given the events of the last year. The bureaucrats and political class looted the country and destroyed people’s lives and aren’t going to suffer repercussions otherwise. If there was ever a group of people that deserved a franco or pinoche it’s the current squad of fucking unimpressive retards running things.
This. Right now it is real, edgy humor (think Lenny Bruce) and pretty soon it will be books as the current purge is showing people what they can and cannot read acceptably. Film will be the last as it takes the most capital, but I can see religion making a strong comeback on a storefront level (not the Catholic Church or other big mainstream ones like Methodist, although the internecine warfare in that church is a sign of what’s to come)
I watched “Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels” (for the ~50th time) last night. Nothing Guy Ritchie could do in real life would keep me from liking it.
Well, if marrying Madonna didn’t do it nothing will.
Yeah that and Snatch though basically being the same movie make him sainted no matter what stupid shit he does. Lock, Stock is amazing. Only British film I like more is layer cake.
The two movies blur together in my memory. I’d wager that a good editor could mix the two into a single film, and no one would be able to tell.
Snatch has the better cast and is a cleaner film, pretty much though.
He also made the best BMW commercial
Damn you Adahn, was going to post that. That whole campaign produced some fun short films.
british gangster films anyway.
Not “The Piranha Brothers”?
I mean obviously there is no beating Monty Python on anything.
Never seen Sexy Beast?
I have it’s been a long time, I have to rewatch it.
You need to watch The Long, Good Friday. Like immediately. It is truly the best British gangster film of all time.
I even enjoyed the Gentlemen from Ritchie.

MORE THAN TEN PERCENT OF LINCON PROJECT FOUNDERS ARE KNOWN SEXUAL PREDATORS!
/headline writers guild stylebook
Up to 100% of Lincoln Project founders are known sexual predators.
WHO IS PROTECTING THE UNINDICTED CHILD MOLESTORS OF THE LINCOLN PROJECT FROM INVESTIGATION?
“…it goes all the way to the top,” sources say.
At least one out of eight Lincoln Project co-founders are sexual predators. A person familiar with the co-founders’ thinking suggested the others may or may not sexual intercourse with farm animals.
Fixed it.
Depressing read.

I got my middle kid back into private school this semester with in-person schooling. She’s noticeably happier.
The lockdown is damaging psyches all across the board.
Good for your kid. Making society a Skinner box is about as immoral as you can gete.
yeah everyone who isn’t a damaged friendless incel lizard person understood this at the start. These fucking people who pushed that impossible course of action deserve things that would warrant the attention of the feds if they weren’t already responsible for 99% of the commentary here.
Hey, I realized it too.
“They are destroying millions of weak and vulnerable people.”

Then Rodgers targeted Pelosi and Newsom as he slammed hypocritical politicians instituting lockdowns:
I mean, they put these rules in place. They’re not even following their own rules. I mean, how many people have gotten caught? “Don’t travel. Don’t leave the state.” Oh, here’s so-and-so on a vacation. Oh, here’s so-and-so at a salon. “Don’t eat out at a restaurant unless you’re wearing a mask and separate.” Oh, here’s a picture of the governor of California violating those rules. Oh, public schools are closed, but I can send my kids to a private school in person.
Rodgers commented, “For us to count on the government to help us out is becoming a joke at this point.”
Perhaps the government has no business “helping” in this regard and it should just get out of the way.

Help us help them. You wouldn’t want us to think you are a threat to democracy, too. Would you?”
Rodgers commented, “For us to count on the government to help us out is becoming a joke at this point.”

We’ve already seen many hesitating before vaccinating. Even some frontline workers are resisting it.

The Big Lie.
I don’t know. I haven’t spoken to this speaker today about this.
And, look, I know that everybody wants to focus on trial tactics and strategy and so on. I want people to focus on the solemnity and the gravity of these events. Five Americans are dead because a violent mob was encouraged, exhorted and incited by the president of the United States of America, which broke into the Congress of the United States, into the Capitol, and came within a hair’s breadth of hanging Vice President Pence.
I mean, the ears — the words are still ringing in the ears of the members: “Hang Mike Pence. Hang Mike Pence.” They — they built a gallows outside the Capitol of the United States. There was an assassination party hunting for Nancy Pelosi. So, this cannot be at the level of normal partisan push and pull and just kind of throwing rhetorical brickbats back and forth. This was an attack on our country.
This was an attack on our country.
“l’État, c’est moi”
There must not be any insurance for the places our ruling class is in, cause otherwise – as they told us – these things need to happen so people can show their displeasure with their government….
I don’t think hair’s breadth means what he thinks. That would be when you’re actually noosed-up, and your support has been removed and a musketeer shoots the rope before it becomes taut.
…he asserted, without evidence.
Same line of bullshit they used in Charlottesville when the police helicopter went down. It was attributed to the totally unrelated scene. I am no longer pissed that they do this, I am pissed that everyday people gobble this up while nodding their heads.
Based on everything I’ve read the capital police officer died of a stroke in his barracks doing paperwork during a shift change.
I hadn’t seen that one. I did see that the three people they didn’t shoot died of natural causes.
I mean it’s indisputable he was at his hq when he suffered his stroke the rest I just guessed at given we don’t have any reports of other injuries he actually received during the riot beyond some people claiming he got hit with a fire extinguisher which I have yet to see officially corroborated.
I remember the AP story that the Capitol Police were denying that his death was related to what happened, but now even the Capitol Police page blames his death on it. I don’t know what to think. And frankly, I don’t really care. I don’t agree with the idiots that went in, not like if they actually did kill someone could make me disagree more.
People totally uncritically accept what the media tells them.
That is not a problem with the media.

This is like something from DU. I’ve read like 4 articles on this paranoia it’s unreal and fucking frightening.
insurrection…rioters.
Interesting how these words are being used in conjunction. A riot is not an insurrection and vice versa.
How not every single one of those Nat’G don’t resign with that slap to the face is beyond me.
Lies, gibberish and faux acknowledgement of the constitution.
The nation watched the violent occupation of the U.S. Capitol in disbelief and horror on Jan. 6, 2021, but the worst may be yet to come. The F.B.I. is warning of further imminent armed attacks on the Capitol and the State Houses of all 50 States. Rhode Island gun safety advocates see disturbing parallels with the recent violence in Washington D.C. and the aggressive rhetoric and tactics employed by far-right-activists at our State House and in city and town councils in recent years. Insurrectionism is regularly encouraged by the NRA and its top leaders, with calls to purchase firearms and ammunition to protect liberty and fight against government tyranny. A mob of thousands stormed the U.S. Capitol echoing the NRA’s long-standing message of armed revolution and calls for civil war. …
Now is the time to de-escalate hate by regulating the sale of military-style weapons and high-capacity magazines that can hold up to 100 rounds of ammunition and can be emptied in a matter of minutes.
We all need to respect the rights enshrined in both our federal and state Constitutions, but we don’t need to be held hostage by radical gun extremists. The Supreme Court has upheld laws in states that ban assault weapons and regulate the sale of ammunition for these weapons. A new majority of both Rhode Island Senators and Representatives support changes needed to make us safer.
And I need to work on closing my tags. And my recoil control. And reloads. And…
I’d say that person had a recoil issue to the forehead.
You should really consider getting some professional help, Linda. This level of hysterical paranoia is affecting your quality of life, whether you realize it or not…
“Rhode Island gun safety advocates”
Is this the new dishonest weasel word for the grabbers and steppers?
I see this as more of a panicky overreaction and bad third-world political theater. The razor wire and soldiers are just there for show. A military presence is a de facto military imprimis for the inaugurations, and presumably not something the generals would have done on their own. It’s all about Schumer and AOC and the photo ops.
Somebody, yesterday or the day before, linked a story which basically boiled down to Team President-elect asking for loyalty oaths from the people who will be in close proximity to His Sniffiness during the coronation. If that is true, they really are paranoid lunatics, and we’re in for a bumpy ride.
Do you know else insisted on loyalty oaths?

Fuck’s Sake! I don’t want to live through another wave of the Misery Index again. I sure as fuck don’t want to see 20% interest rates like the ones that greeted me when I finished high school. Kindly Uncle Sniffer is setting us back forty years. I never had meaningful employment for five fucking years. I don’t want to see my grandchildren broken on the wheel.
I absolutely sympathize. But rates are being kept artificially low by all kinds of Fed market intervention. At some point they’re going to *have* to let them rise to stabilize things, or it might even spiral out of control and happen no matter what they do.
I’d bet on the latter.
We really have no idea. This is economics, not physics.
The classic examples of hyperinflation did NOT involve the world’s reserve currency. We’re in uncharted waters.
Son, we don’t get what we want. We get what’s on the menu. The train has left the station, not today but many years ago. The ticket collectors change but the destination is always the same.
I honestly see what’s happening as the Dems trying their fucking hardest to manufacture political capital when they don’t actually have any. The economy is completely fucked the longer the wait the less and less capital they’ll have they are hoping to get at least one big policy initiative past before we get to midterms and they get fucking wiped out.
What miderms? They’re not going to let an actual election be held. There might be a mock election, but the results won’t be what the plebs voted for.
I will really enjoy watching you eat those words in two years. Or, at least I hope to.
While I hope you are right, I’m pessimistic.
Yeah, shit in one hand and hope in the other, then tell me which one fills up first…
I’m thinking this too. If the elections aren’t compromised (and I’m not wholly convinced the elections themselves are bad, although it’s clear everything surrounding the election is compromised), I’m thinking there’s gonna be a bloodbath in 22, and Team Blue ain’t gonna be pleased. I’m not sure Team Red will like it either, as I expect fierce primaries to be had as well.
^Mostly this, it really is political theater but it could precipitate an incident that will lead to bad not political theater. As for the midterms, it depends on whether McConnell is really stupid enough to give the green light for a Trump conviction which would kill their chances.
I think they want a no bull shit violent incident to get more fuel in the legislative engine, they need it to get anything passed politically. I don’t think they’ll get it.
All it takes is one idiot rightist or one smart leftist. We’ll see and it doesn’t necessarily have to be on inauguration day. All we can do is hope no one does anything but there are people that are accelerationists on both sides.
Doesn’t even have to be politically motivated. Remember that Vegas dude?
What Vegas dude? You must have imagined or dreamed that./MSM
Elvis.
I mean he probably was it’s just his FBI handler went on vacation that afternoon after selling him a truckload of guns and ammo in the casino parking deck.
The only Vegas dude(s) in the headlines nowadays are the three Hawaiian shirt dudes arrested mid-year.
In some ways I read it this way as well.
Even the plebs know that it’s been democratic governors wrecking state economies with lockdowns, and all but the most devout will say it. Despite the media and social media machines doing everything possible to carry water for Team Blue, they won the election by the absolute thinnest of margins (if not by cheating). Team Blue is not what I’d call popular. They have their current spotlight because Orange Man Bad. This whole SEDITION! nonsense is an attempt at actually gaining some popularity.
Ya think?
“You said your vote may have been political suicide. That caught the attention of one of the president’s advisors, Jason Miller, who retweeted it. Are you concerned you ended your career with that vote?” George Stephanopoulos asked.
“I may very well have,” Meijer said nonchalantly. “But it’s also important that we have elected leaders who are not thinking solely about what’s in their individual self-interest, not what is going to be politically expedient, but what we actually need for the country.”
“It’s not lost on me that I hold the seat that Gerald Ford held from 1948 to 1973. He committed a courageous act when he pardoned Richard Nixon but it ended his political career going forward,” Meijer explained. “Obviously I don’t want to follow in terms of the next election but I want to make sure we have leaders in office who are focusing on the fact that we’re a nation a laws, not a nation of men and that we’re putting the interest of the country first rather than their own political careers.”
Sanctimonious prick is sanctimonious and a prick.
focusing on the fact that we’re a nation a laws
So, then you will have no problem producing evidence that shows which criminal statutes were violated by Trump?
Would you really say he was sanctimonious if he had said that about some other relevant but contentious point?
“It’s not lost on me that I hold the seat that Gerald Ford held from 1948 to 1973. He committed a courageous act when he pardoned Richard Nixon but it ended his political career going forward,” Meijer explained.

Gotta back the windmill farmers who donated to him.
It does seem like there’d be some kind of methodical legal process they’d have to go through to do that but what do I know and, yes, the arbitrary and capricious exercise of government power is bad for business investment to say the least.
Trump: “I am rescinding DACA, the government will now follow the written immigration laws.”
Deep State: “You can’t do that, its unconstitutional because reasons.”
Biden: “I am rescinding the Keystone Pipeline permits, because Gaia demands it.”
Deep State: “This is a completely legitimate exercise of political power by a wise statesman.”

Five Americans are dead because a violent mob was encouraged, exhorted and incited by the president of the United States of America, which broke into the Congress of the United States, into the Capitol, and came within a hair’s breadth of hanging Vice President Pence.

U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration
Of course they do.
So the local newsrag carried a story this morning, sourced from AP naturally, that was 40 column inches long of investigative journalism about how several Trump allies had organized the rally in D.C. where Trump spoke and attendees then moved on to the Capitol. This is news? Who did they think organized the rally, Trump’s opponents? In any case, these 40 column inches were much more than they ever gave to the Hunter Biden scandals or commie chicks in the incoming Biden admin who admire Mao, or newly minted senators who demand White folks repent.
Propaganda and battle space prep.
2A is only for sport.
We have HR 127 “To provide for the licensing of firearm and ammunition possession and the registration of firearms, and to prohibit the possession of certain ammunition.”
What that “certain ammunition” is, is unclear, but in the past the gun grabbers have railed against “armor piercing” ammunition (commonly purchased 5.56 mm NATO green tips, for instance) among others.
Indeed the Giffords Law Center specifically states:
Moreover, certain types of ammunition, such as armor-piercing handgun ammunition, 50 caliber rounds, and Black Talon bullets, pose a particular danger to the public and to law enforcement, and serve no legitimate sporting purpose. Strict controls on the manufacture, transfer, and possession of these types of ammunition can help promote public safety.
They should go hunting…in Alaska…with the peashooters they believe we should be ‘allowed’ to have.
Lol, they are a little behind the time on Black Talons.
They’ve been discontinued for what, twenty years now? Longer?
But it still sounds scary!!!
Sometimes a jacketed hollowpoint is just a jacketed hollowpoint…

The narrative will be “See, our overwhelming show of tiger repellent military force scared off all the Trump deplorables. Obviously, we need to keep these military forces in place for the infinite future to keep the tigers away.” Your state capitol is going to have more guards than Red Square or the Reichstag ever did.

Was there an assassination by the Palace Guard, at some point? Maybe that’s why they are so worried abut somebody croaking Fearless Leader on the podium.

I swear our political/pundit class thinks fantasy movies and teevee like Harry Potter and Game of Thrones are documentaries.

That says to me that the big boys are paying a price for their arrogance. Let’s hope it’s enough to temper them.
You’d mentioned that Apple was also offering clemency to the Parler app.
Hopefully this is a trend. The big boys are all about their bottom line. At some point, even they won’t be willing to carry water for the Dems if it means a huge leak in their own well.

1A is a threat to Democracy.
Have Trump’s Lies Wrecked Free Speech?
A debate has broken out over whether the once-sacrosanct constitutional protection of the First Amendment has become a threat to democracy.
In the closing days of his presidency, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he can make innumerable false claims and assertions that millions of Republican voters will believe and more than 150 Republican members of the House and Senate will embrace.
“The formation of public opinion is out of control because of the way the internet is forming groups and dispersing information freely,” Robert C. Post, a Yale law professor and former dean, said in an interview.
Yale. Nuff said
So, Robbie, you’re saying that the formation of public opinion needs to be under control? Under who’s control? The governments’?
I’m contemplating a constitutional amendment along the lines of, “No attendee of an Ivy League institution shall be eligible for government service in any capacity, retroactive to the beginning of recorded history.”
Ahem. (Penn, 1984)
So you’re looking to enter government service?
How is it that you’ve never been in charge of Child Protective Service?
The decrepit media is looking to secure government approval and either de jure or de facto licenses.
” constitutional protection of the First Amendment has become a threat to democracy.”
Can someone start bitch-slapping these people, please?
The thing about that word.
It has been twisted beyond recognition. Democracy means basically agreeing with whatever the left says it means. This is what progs do. They’ve been doing it since day one.
Jeez Louise. Trump is bullshitter, but it’s not like he’s a bigger bullshitter than the average politician.
Based on everything I’ve read the capital police officer died of a stroke in his barracks doing paperwork during a shift change.
“Previously undiagnosed medical condition” or “Skull bashed in with a fire extinguisher””
What difference, at this point, does it make?
None because half the country thinks that a MAGAt brained a police officer.
I’d happily believe skull bashed in with fire extinguisher if they you know taken him to the hospital first or I had seen some on the record official saying this. I haven’t seen that as of yet beyond idle speculation.
There would also be video, I think. Since everything is videoed nowadays. If there was an actual assault with the MAGAtard beating on a cop with a fire extinguisher, someone would have turned their phone to it and recorded.
There is that one video of someone off camera chucking a fire extinguisher at a cop. It hits him in the back of the head/neck/shoulder area. If that’s Switnick, and he had some kind of brain bleed or something the next day, then whoever chucked that fire extinguisher is going to prison.
The maga chugs definitely beat another cop up that day with flags and shit. I’m not remotely denying there was violence.
I posted a Reuters articcle the day after all of that where the cops issued a claritication that the reason for his death was not determined and was likely not directly due to the events of the day but I’ll be damned if I can find it now.
Hey, found it:

One reason to miss print media, much harder to memory-hole their pronouncements.
Looks like not scrubbed, just damn hard to find among all of the noise. It required a very specific search.
And a reread of that sparse article shows my mind has since added my own spin. Funny that…
Good morning, Banjos!
You better not shout, you better not cry, you better not pout I’m tellin’ you why! Mammary Monday’s coming to town!

A debate has broken out over whether the once-sacrosanct constitutional protection of the First Amendment has become a threat to democracy.
BRING BACK THE ALIEN AND SEDITION ACT.
We’ll make it stick, this time.
Which of course showed just how much respect the Federalists had for the people they were governing. Truly the Democrats of their day.
Looks like not scrubbed, just damn hard to find among all of the noise. It required a very specific search.
Oddly enough, there seem to be very few articles which actually name him. He’s just the Martyred Hero of the Capitol Police, now.
That makes it tougher to find.

On the propaganda front, I watched the NFL game on CBS yesterday. And almost every commercial break, I was confronted with propaganda in the form of commercials for CBS shows.
“What else do the terrorists who attacked the capital have planned? 60 minutes Investigates, tonight!”
“Capital terrorist attacks are just the beginning. Now law enforcement in multiple states are preparing for more attacks. Tonight, on 60 minutes.”
“Because of terrorist threats to the inauguration, more troops have been deployed to Washington DC than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. 60 minutes investigates the threat of domestic terrorism, tonight!”
Promo for Stephen Colbert Show: “Goodbye to the unindicted co-conspirator. Alas, we knew ye too well.”
It was wall to wall propaganda, the whole game.
It was pretty surprising in an NFL setting. You would think that economics would outweigh politics at some point. I mean, why inject purely partisan politics at all? What gain could there be that outweighs the risk of turning away fans of the NFL?
Fuck the NFL, the NBA, any league that wades into this mess deserves to wither and die.
Except it wasn’t the league or even the broadcast. It was the advertising by the network.
I seem to not remember 60 Minutes being painfully bad when I was younger, but maybe I just wasn’t political then.
It was the mind control in Andy Rooney’s voice that erased all the red flags in your mind from the rest of the episode.
Depending on how much younger. It was political by the Bush years. Remember Dan Rather and the forged Killian documents?
Not to mention all the “social justice” commercials.
It was a relief to tune in to Cozi and get wall-to-wall MyPillow Guy.
I mean NBC let fucking Costas give us preachy political dialogue for years during sports broadcasts before kicking him to the curb.
Not only is you lawn racist, so is your garden.
Last week Corinne Fowler, Professor of Post-Colonial Literature at the University of Leicester, published a sprawling 316-page work examining the links between the British countryside, racism, slavery and our colonial past.
Among her startling conclusions? Our cherished national pastime, gardening, has its roots in racial injustice. …
‘The countryside is a terrain of inequalities,’ she writes, ‘so it should not surprise us that it should be seen as a place of particular hostility to those who are seen as not to belong, principally black and Asian Britons.’
Many great estates were financed by slavery and colonialism, and the origins of gardening were fundamentally elitist: ‘Knowledge about gardens and plants, in particular botany, has had deep colonial resonances,’ she says.
‘The scientific categorisation of plants has at times engaged in the same hierarchies of “race” that justified empire and slave and slavery . . .
‘Inevitably, then,’ she adds, ‘gardens are matters of class and privilege.’
Am I the only one to notice, that everything with the potential to make the individual less dependent on the state, is now considered racist?
Perhaps it’s just my monomania for independence and personal autonomy showing, but still…
They’re dependent and they want you to be too.
Yep. I’m glad it’s not just me then.
This could lead into a whole bit of pseudo-psychology about why exactly they want to be dependent, but I’m not really sure I want to go there right now.
Things that make individuals successful are “whiteness” and have to be eliminated.
Argument by assertion reigns supreme.
you arent the only one and not monomania
I have been ranting on here and TOS for 15 years: entire leftist toolbox is to make you smaller. poverty, inability to create or accumulate wealth, inability to defend yourself, high crime, inability to think or speak freely, destroy the family….the list goes on. pure demoralization. make vice virtue and virtue vice. its about making the individual helpless.
founders said the only way this works is with a civil, moral society. the statists desperately want to destroy that
Meanwhile, Gates is up to what now? 420,000 acres? Give or take a few.
What we really need to do, is kick all the farmers off their land and give the land to poh peoples. That worked really great in Zimbabwe, what are we waiting for?
Fact check: Quotes from Democratic leaders about riots, unrest taken out of context
We rate this claim MISSING CONTEXT, based on our research. Two quotes attributed to members of the Democratic Party that allegedly referenced last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests actually predate the events. The two remaining quotes were not provided in full. None of the people mentioned in the claim called for violence over peaceful protest, according to sources.
“I don’t know why there aren’t uprisings across the country. Perhaps there will be.” – Nancy P.
If she said that before the riots, that’s even worse.
I envision junior interns being tasked to spin Democratic calls to violence in the best light possible by editors.
according to sources
uh huh
“None of the people mentioned in the claim called for violence over peaceful protest, according to sources.” Including President Trump…no? Okay. Arbiters of truth they are.
And I agree, none of those were calls to violence, but neither were Trump’s remarks. But hey, we have football on!
They didn’t call for violence over peaceful protest. They just said that righteous violence was a good addition topeaceful protest.
Moar climate change.
Extreme cold has hit large parts of Europe, with freezing temperatures cracking railroad tracks in Poland, snow blanketing the Turkish city of Istanbul and smog spiking as coal was being burned to generate heat.
In Switzerland, a skier who had been buried by an avalanche on the weekend died in a hospital of his injuries, authorities said Monday.
The country had issued avalanche warnings several days earlier after heavy snowfall hit various regions. Officials said the skier and his two companions were buried by an avalanche while they were skiing off marked trails in the Gstaad area on Sunday afternoon.
One man was able to free himself from the snow and then extricate one of the others, but the third man could only be found by rescue crews who arrived later on the scene. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died a short time later, authorities said.
Temperatures dropped to minus 28 degrees Celsius (minus 18 Fahrenheit) in some Polish areas overnight, the coldest night in 11 years. Many trains were delayed on Monday after tracks at two Warsaw railway stations cracked.
“freezing temperatures cracking railroad tracks in Poland,”
Scandinavian steel. ask the Russians about this
The long reach of Donald Trump is amazing. Don’t worry, Europe, the sun will come out on Wednesday and, once again, you won’t have to pay for U.S. troops holding back the Eastern Barbarians.
Promo for Stephen Colbert Show: “Goodbye to the unindicted co-conspirator. Alas, we knew ye too well.”
Yeah, that almost cost me a teevee.
That ignorant, smarmy fuck is the synthesis of everything I’ve come to despise about my liberal friends from college.
Colbert on October 2, 2015.
“now, mr. trump, to answer your call for political honesty, you’re not going to be president. it’s been fun. it’s been great. i love you! but come on, come on, buddy. all, let’s say, cow poo poo aside, there is zero chance we will see you being sworn in on the capitol stweps your hand on a giant golden bible”
And he was proven right. No giant golden bible was used.
Snopes, USA Today and Media Matters fact check this as true.
uhmmm…has anyone pointed out that the senate has no power to try private citizens?
The FYTW clause applies.
Plenty have. It just doesn’t matter anymore.
Dershowitz did, but hes now a Nazi so hes being ignored by all the very smart people.
but hes now a Nazi
Not entirely wrong. He is good on many things but he seems to be under the impression that “you have no constitutional right to not be vaccinated” and that the government can force one on you at gunpoint.
“you have no constitutional right to not be vaccinated”
that makes no sense. you have no right to not be assaulted? I can see some potential problems there

Some students at Harvard University are calling on the school to take degrees away from some of President Trump’s supporters and aides.
Several students are reportedly circulating a petition that specifically targets White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Dan Crenshaw.
According to the petition titled “Revoke Their Degrees,” these individuals spread “disinformation and mistrust,” which the authors allege helped fuel last week’s capitol riots.
I suppose Harvard doesn’t teach the constitution or American history anymore.
That went out of fashion decades ago.
Now it’s just screeds from Angela Davis and some commie asshole on Twitter.
You no longer get degrees from universities as it is. What you get is your card to be a card carrying member of the one party. We’re going to a one party CCP type system and we’re moving at light speed.
It sounds ludicrous…. Yet here we are.
Most college educated non-minorities voted for Trump.
I’m not sure if this is a sign of hope, or that all is lost.
JFC. They need a whole friggin program to tell them the world contains people who disagree with them and teach them how to talk to other humans? Fuck’s sake.
That’s funny.
My son is at a UNC school, not Chapel Hill. They are most certainly not on board with that concept.
If anything, the trend is going the other way, and so quickly that we have concerns about his safety this spring.
Fun exercise… Go read your old college paper. I was at Chapel Hill, among others. The paper is astonishingly unreadable. The Daily Tar Heel was among the elite of the elite college publications when I was there.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
But if you need to learn how to do more to promote anti-racist, they have you covered.
by anti-racism you mean racism, right?
The right kind of racism, IYKWIMAITYD.
That might be peak National Review.
You’ve got members of Congress drawing up domestic anti terror legislation to sic the security apparatus on people who voted Republican, and the National Review is devoting their time to “Bravo good sir, how civilized, well done well done.” some bullshit kabuki theater “intellectual diversity effort” at a public university. Seems to me that intellectual diversity should be a requirement at taxpayer funded universities.
How about hiring some Republicans in the poli sci department? How about hiring some Austrian school guys in the econ department? How about you hire *gasp shock* a devout evangelical Christian to teach an ethics class? How many AGW skeptics are there in the science departments?
The reason we’re about to be a one party state is that the one party has gotten in the position where all of their power centers are neccesary for people to enter the upper class, and they have somehow managed to get all their power centers funded by the people they plan to subject.
Jimmy the HVAC tech has to pay taxes to send people who hate him to school so that they can then shut down his HVAC business because of the Wu Flu.

I mean seriously, its fucking peak Controlled Opposition RINOism. The Left is purging social media of their opposition, but hey theres a new symposium at a university where, once every two months, a True Conservative like Mitt Rommney or Ben Sasse will come give a 45 minute talk to ~150 people. Feel the intellectual diversity and devotion to a vigorous debate!!!!
“Gosh what on Earth are these crazy field hands up to, running off. Master Joseph and Mistess Kamala just last week said they’d be getting an extra half pound of salt pork every week, and new roof shingles and even nails to fix them to the roof of their quarters. I just don’t understand why they keep sneaking North. He’s so kind, just last week he brought in a doctor and paid for it his own self because Elizabeth whos hair hes always smelling took ill with a fever. I tell you I done had three masters, he’s by far the kindest.”
Well, they’re about to triple down on this shit and then some. It’s already been said that one of the Biden admin’s first pushes will be to push the education system way far to the left. They’re already left of Stalin, not sure how much farther they can go.
The difference between us and China is that China doesn’t have the woke bullshit problem, and why they’ll solve that here. That’s why we’ll just be a CCP puppet state. The good thing is that once the CCP takes over, they’ll just send all the wokesters off to the gulags, the ones they don’t just shoot right away.
The wokesters were always the useful idiots and they will be treated as such.
As for the rest of us, the sane ones, we’ll just have to keep quiet and we’ll be fine, poor, but fine.
And all because the grifters in charge of the DNC are willing to burn the country down in order to save their own asses. They don’t believe this shit.
It makes me ill.
When your only talent is grifiting, being send packing and having to earn an honest living, especially when you are then also going to be held accountable, you are willing to do whatever it takes. Cornered rats will fight.
Some of them will be fine. The idiots, and there are plenty of them, will just be shot or disappear.
The Chinese are serious and prideful and want to actually achieve stuff and not go down a well of wokeness. Start learning Mandarin now. Say bye to the wokesters, they won’t survive.

I got a kick of the fact that Q-Anon dude was a Harvard grad. The intelligentsia are not pleased.
Buffalo guy? Shame on Harvard for enabling extremism, they must have their incredibly large endowment confiscated at once.
Sorry. No. And I guess it’s a girl.
I just got what had to be 10,000 words of wokeness in an email from Expensify. I can’t even do expense reports without being inundated with this sort of stupidity and evil.
I generally use those sorts of things as justification for ceasing business with an entity.
My boss, a huge Trump supporter and 2A advocate (we are encouraged to carry on company grounds) has to be cringing at this.
Woke is everywhere…. even in my neighborhood with the Black Lives Matter and the “We Believe:” signs. Which is amusing given the (2010 Census) 95%+ whiteness of this suburb with their $400K or more homes.
Those signs scream “I’m white and upper middle class.” I just don’t see them here in the barrio where I work.
The only BLM signs I see in my neighborhood are in the yards of two white families…who happen to live across the street from two black families, who have no such signs.
lol
There are a couple of black families on my street. The only sign in either yard is ADT.
I recall getting emails from every company I’ve ever done business with telling me how they are handling COVID. Maybe they’re doing the same for wokeness, but I added most to spam filters already.
In the last few days I must have muted fifty people on LinkedIn. There have been a few people protesting that LinkedIn is supposed to be a professional networking and development site and to please discuss your political horseshit elsewhere, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears.
You can’t escape this shit any more.
People who believe in political identity (and all other identity really trails that) of course cannot understand why you don’t want to hear their version of The Good News.
Jeebus, I wrestled a 40 pound amp down the stairs, swapped some gear out and had zero music coming out of the speakers.
Moved it to the garage stereo system… and in the gloom discovered a bad 12AX7. I mean a piece of glass near the pins was cracked, killing the getter. Replaced that… moved back inside… and now I get a left channel but a very weak right! Back goes the Aleph J amplifier until I figure out what is going on. Yay solid-state!
Argh!!!
It should be noted that the Eico ST70 is 58 years old and has been messed with by the previous owner. I’ll give it a break.

For the second week in a row Wally World canceled my pickup order for tonight because of demand and lack of staffing. If you don’t have slots available then freakin’ don’t let me reserve one. I scheduled it 4 days ago. Jeez…
I recently ordered some protein bars from Walshart and half of the ordered was delivered the same day by someone in a Chrysler … the rest of the order came via FedEx (or was it UPS?) two days later.
I just got a beautiful ribeye that I ordered from Whole Paycheck 4 hours ago
Fun fact:
In December, when the Kilauea volcano began erupting again, emissions of sulfur dioxide from the crater were estimated between 30,000 to 40,000 tons per day. That went on for a week or two, and it is currently reported as being around 3,000 ton per day or so.
I used to work at a coal fired power plant. One of our units would burn about 4,000 ton/day of bituminous coal, which could be up to 6-8% elemental sulfur (typically it would be less than that for reasons). So, 4,000 ton/day * 6% = 240 ton/day S, or 960 ton/day SO2. That is as unabated emissions potential. We had an SO2 scrubbing system that functioned at around 92% removal for most of its 45 year life span (in the last ten years or so, it was upgraded and ran between 96-98% removal). So the abated emissions to the atmosphere were about 77 ton/day.
30,000 / 77 = 389.6, therefore, at its initial emissions rate, Kilauea was emitting nearly 400 times the SO2 that one large coal fired unit with scrubbers would emit. In 15 days of emissions, Kilauea would have emitted 30 times more SO2 than that unit would have over the course of a 45 year operating life.
At the reduced rate of 2500 ton/day, Kilauea would still have emitted 2.5 x the 45-year coal plant emissions in 15 days.
That doesn’t count towards greenhouse gas emissions, because reasons.
Well, technically, tropospheric SO2 acts as an agent for atmospheric cooling due to it forming sulfuric acid haze which prevents surface heating. There is an argument to be made that “anthropogenic global warming” is in part (maybe even a large part) due to removal of anthropogenic SO2 which would have had a cooling effect.
Yay! Nuclear winter!. Bill Gates approves.
Is Sulfur Dioxide a green house gas and is it offset by the amount of particulate that it puts into the air? Just wondering. I know that Kilauea is not a ash cone but there has to be certain amount of stuff, to use the technical term, that gets into the atmosphere, I would think. #NotAGeologist
SO2 is actually a cooling agent, see above.
Cool! I learnt a thing!
therefore, at its initial emissions rate, Kilauea was emitting nearly 400 times the SO2 that one large coal fired unit with scrubbers would emit. In 15 days of emissions, Kilauea would have emitted 30 times more SO2 than that unit would have over the course of a 45 year operating life.
Irrelevant!
Indeed. Note that the USGS is not reporting CO2 emissions rates from Kilauea.
Natural SO2 is less harmful than man-made.
As an amateur historian I take some (very) minor consolation that in the long run the plans of leftists/fascists always fail. It is the nature of such things. Of course the time frame of the failure is unknown; see the horror of the USSR for an example, or how long it took the Imperial power of Rome to crumble.
Something new, and hopefully better, will rise from the ashes. Or else we need a new frontier – space! – to move away from the decrepit power of the state. These are things that I probably won’t see in my lifetime, which is the sad part.
consider that the people doing this…thier children and grand grandchildren will inherit the ashes. they are mostly old and will be long gone so they dont give a fuck. what does that say about them?
We committed suicide by wokeness.
Consider Russia…has something better risen from the ashes? Sure, compared to Stalinism, but its still not great.
This is a wasted day. When my alarm went off, instead of getting up and going to the gym, I shut the alarm off and went back to sleep.
That’s certainly not a wasted day.
A separate report by the Israel Hayom daily said Israel, wary of Biden’s promise to return to the deal, is crafting military options to “undermine Iran’s nuclear efforts or, if need be, counter Iranian aggression, which will soon be presented to the government.”
Great.
Biden also will initiate his “100-Day Masking Challenge” with a mask mandate on federal property and during interstate travel. Klain promised the president-elect would sign additional executive orders on climate change and health care access in the first week of the new administration.
Fuck Biden.
Regarding Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) apparent willingness to conduct an impeachment trial against Trump even after he has left office, Paul said, “They will destroy the Republican Party if leadership is complicit with an impeachment, or if leadership votes for an impeachment, they will destroy the party.”
I’m feeling cynical. There will be a trial, there will be a conviction, and nothing will happen to the Republican Party.
Hey remember in 2016 when Hollywood lobbied members of the Electoral College to change their votes, ignore the will of the people, and overturn an election?
I remember too.
Before founding the Lincoln Project, Weaver had been a longtime Republican strategist whose employers included former President George H.W. Bush, former Arizona Senator John McCain and Former Ohio Governor John Kasich.

As the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States approaches, two of the country’s three most populous states — California and Florida — are seeing two very different epidemiological curves. Hard-lockdown California is — perhaps counterintuitively — recording significantly higher new case numbers and hospitalizations compared to the more open, less restricted state of Florida.
It’s not counterintuitive you shithead.
I would love to see the day where I no longer injury myself trying to open cans, bottles, or milk cartons. Today’s wound was from pulling the tab off the spout of a 1/2 gallon juice carton. A nice deep gash on the meat of my thumb from one of my fingernails.
I guess I have successfully and inadvertently changed my fingerprint now.
How in the world did you survive glass shampoo bottles?
