So… they bounced them?
Send them back in balloons!
Red balloons?
This is what we waited for, this is it boys — this is war…
Which one only gets 4?
So I guess they have to . . . Czech out?
All part of a honey pot FSB operation. Czech and Mate.
They just want the ethnically Russian area of Sudetenland. That will be all they will need, just a bit more жизненное пространство.
The Czechs refused to use vowels?
What do you call a slovak that gets thrown out of a bar ?

“The survey, conducted by NY1 news and Ipsos, found that 22 percent of likely Democratic primary voters would name Yang their top pick on their primary ballot, 13 percent said that Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams would be their first pick, while just 11 percent selected Comptroller Scott Stringer — the only current citywide elected official in the race. ”
I guess it’s like running for chancellor of Germany. At this point, there is no way you could be the worst.
Yang would probably be an improvement over the last two mayors.
Nero would be an improvement over the last two mayors.
Can DeBlasio run again?
I kind of like Yang. At least he’s put some thought into his positions, instead of just towing the party lion.
Yeah. Even though he’s further left than Mao or Stalin, he still might be better than DeAssholio.
Eh, it’s still lunchtime-ish on the West coast.
About 25 years ago, there was a DJ here in the Twin Cities who had a daily segment called “Nature Weeding Out The Stupid”. This definitely would have made it (waste of a good car though):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM902NPUF1Q
Wtf? Why would it just explode? Leaking gas?
I grew up in that market and the only station I can think of that might do that is KQRS. Who was the DJ?
Natural causes.
The car rode up the center divider. Something ripped open the gas tank. Gasoline pissed all over the place. Add Spark! There you go.
It hit a concrete post. Here’s the Story:
https://www.startribune.com/two-dead-following-fiery-crash-in-lowry-hill-tunnel/600047596/
The DJ’s name was Turi Ryder. She was on KFAI.
Man, that sucks. The odds of that happening are pretty slim. The impact didn’t seem to smash the back end to make it rupture. I mean, after the pinto gas tanks are pretty well protected.
I’ve never heard of that station or the DJ.
It was back in the 90’s. KFAI is a community radio station that plays everything:

It occurs to me that at a high-quality grocery store you can get beer from most of Europe, Japan, China, india, Mexico and Jamaica.
But not Russia.
I have seen kvass at an international market if you really want something Russian.
I’ve had Stoli Gold Ring. It was good.
I was just riffing on the Czechia v. Russia bit.
Russian beer is readily available at Total Wine or BevMo! Once I saw the entire lineup of Baltika beer in a BevMo. They are numbered: 1, 2, 3, 4… So, it’s easy to see if they have them all.
Numbered? Like Pimm’s?
Like this. There are more styles than on the picture but they are still numbered.
Shock! Horror!
The government and the media was lying through their teeth about how the Capitol cop died…
Dangnabbit — that was supposed to be a fresh comment, sorry.
Ah, Baltika. I have fond memories of drinking some of that in a park off Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg. We had been on our feet all day wandering around the Hermitage where we had bribed the security guard to give us the local price on tickets. We almost having a bidding war between the beggars looking to take the bottles to get the deposit. Good times.
“Jewish hard-left campaign manager for Democrat NYC council candidate brands Upper West Side ‘too white and Jewish'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9487039/Campaign-manager-Democrat-NYC-council-candidate-brands-Upper-West-white-Jewish.html
Do you know who else thought their city was too Jewish?
At least in NYC they already have trains ready to go.
Al Sharpton?

Jesse Jackson
Did they call their city ‘Hymie-town’?
See the comment above yours.

OK, everybody say it! “Why not both??”
The Kremlin’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Sunday the 20 diplomats from the Czech Republic had by the end of Monday to leave the country, after the Czech Republic accused Russian secret agents of operating within its borders and being behind the Vrbetice ammunition depot explosion of 2014 that killed two people.
They blew up ammunition? OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
But with the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic that figure has risen to around 80 hours per week, according to Saleten.
“They are on call 24 hours a day, and during the pandemic you don’t get to shut your eyes, not even for a micro-nap,” said ISNI chief Gaetan Casanova.
I’m surprised there were no calls to lock down harder in the article.
They are on call 24 hours a day
Well, that’s just stupid (assuming they mean 24/7/365). At trauma hospitals, the on-call surgeons may not be allowed to do any surgery after an on-call day.
Those generic labels remind me of what Aldi used to be like. My mom still refuses to shop there, because that’s how she remembers it. She doesn’t get how much it’s changed.

‘Republicans will jump on any word, any line and try to make it fit their message and their cause for denouncing us and denying us, basically calling us violent,’ Waters continued.
She also accused Republicans of using the tactic to raise money off the Democrats’ backs.
Just in case you had any doubt that the concept of “projection” is real.
WHITE SUPREMACY!!!!
That’s the “SQUIRREL!” of the left.
You gotta love the doublethink from the left.
Trump saying “Go protest peacefully” is incitement to the worst insurrection in the history of insurrections, and NOT calling it out in tantamount to even more violence. But a call to be “more confrontational” to a group of people who spent the better part of the last year burning the city down is just fine, and calling it out is “white supremacy.”
These people are fucking lunatics. They really expect (((us))) to validate their position that 2+2=5.
It’s not double think. It’s pure power play. They don’t live by the principles they espouse and push on their political enemies because those aren’t principles, they are just tools for political fights.
And, yes, they do actually want you to believe that 2+2=5 as long as it’s an accredited victim saying it is. See above.
Good luck, NYC.

To wear a mask or not wear a mask
Alisha Phipps came to New Hampshire Sunday afternoon from the Boston area to celebrate a friend’s birthday — and to enjoy the fresh air without a mask on.
Phipps and her friend, Lauren D’Agostino, said they were “pumped” Gov. Chris Sununu ended the state’s mask mandate on Friday. Before heading to the birthday party, the two strolled along Elm Street in Manchester looking for a bar that serves champagne.
“I was actually going to plan a trip just for the day to go to Texas because you don’t have to wear the mask in Texas,” said Phipps, 34, who lives in Somerville, Mass. “I decided to go to New Hampshire instead.”
D’Agostino, 31, said she’s not worried about the virus.
“We believe in the strength of our immune system,” the Westford, Mass., resident said.
She should try not to wear a mask in Somerville. It’s entirely doable. And then I won’t even be the only one without a mask here.
I have a better solution. Get rid of the tax.
Executives with companies renting cars and offering travel agency services online protested Monday about an effort to levy the state’s main hospitality tax on their sales.
House Speaker Sherman Packard, R-Londonderry, said for three years he’s been trying to convince the Legislature to close what he views as a loophole that lets some avoid paying the 9% tax on restaurant meals, hotel room and car rentals.
For 15 years, companies like Avis, Hertz and Enterprise have tacked on the state tax to all their car rental contracts.
But companies engaged in this online car rental sharing business do not pay the tax.
COOL LINK BRO!
Is that Judd Gregg’s “temporary” tax?
Judd Gregg was governor long before I moved to New Hampshire.
I looked up the RSAs for the meals tax. The tax dates to the 60s. Gregg was governor in the 80s.
Ah, yes — the “Let’s screw over folks who can’t vote against us!” tax…

HB 183 update. Read to the end of the article to see what states in the Northeast are freer than New Hampshire in this regard.
The weighty issue of whether a city or town should be able to require a child get a license before opening a soft drink stand faced a state Senate committee Monday.
State Rep. Chris True, Sandown, said his bill (HB 183) to make illegal these permits for children isn’t the “most earth-shattering subject” lawmakers will take up in 2021, but it’s not a flippant crusade on his part either.
“I believe the bill is making a very important statement, and that is there are areas of our lives and our children’s’ lives that aren’t the job of the government,” True told the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs Committee.
Many children literally get their first taste of the free market when they open a lemonade stand on their front yard, hoping to make a few bucks selling cold drinks on a hot summer day.
In many states across the country, these stands technically are in violation of temporary license laws that require all sellers of any age to get a local permit.
But if they’re allowed to scofflaw out of this, next week kids will be opening bars! And tobbaconists! And MJ diepensaries!
“whether a city or town should be able to require a child get a license before opening a soft drink stand”
Anyone who even entertains that as a possibly serious question should be fed into a woodchipper, feet first, with the thing set on “excruciatingly slow.”
*clicks like button*
Kids already run these. They have for decades, and do it better than government.
They’re just not stands or storefronts.
In my neighborhood, the children are taught to burn and loot the soft drink stands. It’s an equity thing.
I was talking about running marijuana dispensaries and selling booze.

‘Republicans will jump on any word, any line and try to make it fit their message and their cause for denouncing us and denying us, basically calling us violent,’ Waters continued.
“I know you are, but what am I?”
Republicans don’t jump. They pounce.
The problem the Pakis have is that the ISI, the Army, and a significant number of their government organs are covered in Taliban pocket lint. And if they went hard after the Taliban they would risk a major league insurrection (the real kind) from the Pashtun population of from Peshwar at least down to Quetta.
Pakistani is a grade A shithole. If they didn’t have nukes, we would have no good reason to keep kissing their asses.
Rather, if we weren’t in Afghanistan we would have no good reason to keep kissing their asses. With the Cold War far in the rear view mirror, the only reason for trying to buddy up with them is that they control the only* route to resupply forces in Afghanistan.
*The other routes require going through Iran, Russia, or China, and those routes aren’t exactly open to US military personnel.

“BREAKING: Medical Examiner Finally Releases Officer Sicknick Cause of Death…and When It Happened
The Washington D.C. medical examiner has finally released the cause of death for Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. For months, the media narrative, without evidence, held Trump supporters responsible for his “murder.” Today, it was revealed Sicknick died the day after January 6 from natural causes after suffering two strokes. The examiner said there was no evidence to suggest Sicknick was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher or had a reaction to chemical irritants deployed against him.”

They’ll just keep repeating that he was killed by protestors, and ignore the truth just like they’ve done with 100 other things in the past 4 years.

Take five people, smoke three times as many as usual of em if you’ve got em cause that’s what’ll happen.
Let me get this straight. You cut the nicotine which will lead to people smoking more cigarettes to get the same effect thereby inhaling more of the stuff that actually causes cancer. Well done. That’s some real governmental thinking right there.
Apparently investors think the same way or the stocks would have soared, not tumbled.
As an Altria shareholder I hope that was just a kneejerk reaction.
It will also lead to more of a black market in cigs, and we all know what a crackdown on that will result in.

Wahl pussied out. He showed some resistance last year but now he’s just taking orders from the activists.
Uffda. When we got rid of Dayton, I really didn’t think the DFL could produce a worse governor. I’m actually missing Gov. Mumbles at this point.
King Walz is just terrible and he keeps finding ways to sink to new lows.
I know it will be controversial, but I’m going to say it anyhow.
Czechs really don’t get enough credit.
They make good small arms and porn actresses, I’ll give them that.
There’s a money shot in that isn’t there?
Yes, there is.
But they do cash in on lagers.
Not pilsners?
lagers from Plzn?
‘Taking it into consideration Judge Peter Cahill said: ‘I grant you Congresswoman Waters may have handed you grounds for appeal and the turning over of this trial.’
‘Judge Cahill denied Nelson’s move for a mistrial but he said: ‘I wish elected officials would stop talking about this case. They should respect a co-equal branch of government.’
‘He said that failure to do so was ‘abhorrent’, but added: ‘I don’t think it’s given additional material with which to prejudice the jury. A congresswoman’s opinion really doesn’t mean much.”

Sounds like he’s heard of the Maxipad before.
SEXIST!
And if the jury informs the judge they are in fear for their lives? What happens then?
Kneel on their necks until they comply? And for a few extra minutes, just for good measure?

He never sequestered the jury. What did he expect?

Men who can get with chicks are more promiscuous, Imma guess.
Wearing a jacket with a Lacoste alligator logo almost got me into a fistfight in East Germany. They spotted that thing from a mile away.
I don’t think he wanted to mate with me though.
It didn’t exactly get one much respect in my neighborhood either, back when.
I was clueless. I borrowed my dad’s golf windbreaker for the trip with no consideration for how it would be received.
I wore a Dallas Cowboys jacket all through the UK. I made friends because of it. Everyone wanted to talk about Texas.
My Levi’s went over great in West Germany. This was 1988.
Remember who it was who *didn’t* want Levis to go over well in Germany?
Any kind of jeans attracted unwanted attention in East Germany around that era.
I was in France one summer in high school and every person I said I was from Dallas, TX to immediately began singing the Dallas (tv show) theme song.
I had no idea of that show’s cross cultural appeal.
Maybe it wasn’t big enough. The alligator that is. Besides, German’s are weird. Maybe the fight was a mating ritual. Was scheisse involved?
There were a few schweinhunds thrown about as I was trying to figure out how to not get my ass kicked by a group of teenage Stasi-to-be’s
I don’t get it. What’s with the alligator hate?
Oh, it was purely American hate. The alligator just gave me away.
ah.
And this was before the wall came down. The indoctrination was entrenched.
Really bad spy disguise bro.
If only my handlers had warned me beforehand.
I don’t know about the krauts, but in my area, anything geeky or rich-y rich looking got your lunch money stolen. We were mostly scruffy, with pendeltons and t-shirts/jeans. Sparkly and shiny was a welcome mat for harassment.
I prefer no logos at all. I guess that’s why the chicks aren’t banging down my door.
Finally, they’re not lying when they say size doesn’t matter!
Have you been in touch with Naomi Klein?

Well “seen as”.
People looked at pictures of others and said what they guessed about them. ‘Oh that guy has a big logo? He must try to get laid a lot!”
How “studies” like this get funded and then get published and then get reported by a news source? I will never understand.
Big logos = “what doth love be” ?
I want to know what love doth be
I want you to show me…. ?
It’s like oxygen!
It hurts!
Love with be thicker than water
I’m too young for this.
Love is for the very young
Well, I am a fool for it.
Gimme all of it!
bonus: look how empty Palmdale was back in the eighties!

The comments are pure retarded.
Trust the plan.
And they’ll be just as retarded after the Post’s latest item makes the rounds.
It’s nice to see that you can still count on some things.
Wait, him dying of natural causes, with no evidence that he died of anything else, is now a conspiracy theory? Meanwhile the one person actually killed that day had it coming for…reasons? These people are way too far gone for saving.
The joke is that we did learn today he died of natural causes, right? I knew that. Read the paper and everything.
That’s the reason I keep buying sour milk. I never check the dates.

just cooked up some sausage with garlic. House smells pretty good.
I love the smell of sausage and peppers with way too much (almost enough) garlic. Imma cook some up this week.
I never added garlic to sausage & peppers, unless it was in tomato sauce.
That would freak my grandfather out! He’d start a fight over it, I’m certain!
Of course, Sausage and peppers always came with pasta and gravy.

Typical, just typical.
Shame, avoidance of hypocrisy, and setting a personal example are all dead.
Keeping the proles from passing the icky covid germs around is hard work.
There’s an article in the Detroit Free Press about her trip and surprise, surprise, they have comments disabled for that article. I wonder why?
And guess where the latest new outbreak has occurred around here? Why, Michigan you say? Can’t be, lockdowns work!
So Gretchen is a super-spreader?

I think he knows the answer to that.
We’ve become a society of people only seeing what they are looking for. It likely doesn’t end well.
Greenwald is my newest favorite real journalist.
I have a story that I would like to share: the Saturday before last, I went to help a friend. His mother’s estate had sold the house he was brought home from the hospital to, and he only had until Sunday to access the property, and he had begged me all week to come help him get some things from the crawlspace above the ceiling, because he apparently didn’t know anybody else who owned a screw driver. So, being the stand up guy that I am, drove across town to help. As we are stacking things up in the driveway in preparation to loading my GFs vehicle, I noticed a police car parked on the corner, with just the front showing- like the driver was trying to watch us without being seen. I commented on this to my friend- who immediately jumped the back fence and took off, literally leaving me holding a bag. Turns out his window to enter had ended Easter Sunday, plus he had warrants out. Long story short- I was arrested for Class 1 Felony Trespassing. On Saturday night. Felony means no bond before I see a judge on Monday. I get 3 calls and use them to give instructions to GF. Sunday she comes to get the keys to her car, which is still at the property but wont be come Monday morning. Of course, the jail can only release all of my property not just the keys. Because of covid, all new arrests are in solitary. This means everybody in the block gets one hour out by themselves in the common area where the phones are. Your hour may start at 10 am, or your hour may start at 3 am. The prisoners had a pretty good system of using their time to make calls for others, but still. Ok, GF has car and has called work to say I won’t be in. Monday morning at around 1030am I go to court. The DA drops it. Yay! I’m leaving jail, right? Oh no that’s not how it works. You have to be processed. So, I am returned to a cell the size of a closet, where I wait. And wait. And wait some more. I finally leave Jefferson County Jail at 815pm on Monday night, with (remember the car keys?) no phone, no money, no wallet, and no house keys- in the snow and on the opposite side of town. They didn’t even give me bus tokens.
Good grief, man, I’m so sorry to hear that!
Good friend you had there.
Yes. I’m anticipating another return to jail the next time that I see him.
Seriously I am glad they dropped it. My god I’d be screwed beyond belief if the DA had decided to pursue it. I’d have lost my job. My GF and I would both become homeless. She’d probably go back to MI to live with a sister. I’d have gotten out, eventually- in two months or two years depending- with nothing but the clothes I was arrested in. It would have ruined my entire life. So, maybe the first sentence is not really that much of a joke.
