“Merry Groundhog Day!” Joe shouted as he crawled from his isolation chamber. He had been saying this every morning for the last 10 days.
FACT CHECK
Claim: Joe Biden thinks today is Groundhog Day
Today is Groundhog Day. Joe Biden thinking any other day is Groundhog Day is irrelevant to whether he knows that it is Groundhog Day today.
Status: True
“Yes, today is Groundhog Day,” Finnegan said, reading off the teleprompter screen mounted behind Joe’s medical crib.
FACT CHECK
Claim: It is somehow noteworthy that Joe Biden’s aides and family caretakers read off a teleprompter screen to interact with him.
Many prominent political families read off of teleprompter screens to each other on a regular basis. This prevents confusion and inquiries by the fake press.
Status: False
“It’s going to be a great day, isn’t it?” Joe asked Finnegan. She nodded and mumbled to herself as she changed the dressing on his wounds, massaged his lower stomach to stimulate a bowel movement, and began feeding him dozens of pills.
FACT CHECK
Claim: Finnegan Biden is Joe Biden’s nurse
Finnegan Biden is Joe Biden’s granddaughter.
Status: False
Joe said, “You are my favorite nurse,” and cupped her buttock to draw her in for a toothless kiss.
FACT CHECK
Claim: Finnegan Biden is Joe Biden’s granddaughter.
Finnegan clearly performs all of the functions of a nurse and, therefore, is Joe Biden’s nurse.
Status: False
Finnegan pushed away from him and straightened her clothes. “What do you want for breakfast?” she asked him.
“Do we have any camel milk left?” he asked, standing and farting and sitting back down.
“Camel milk?” Finnegan asked, her brow wrinkling.
“Brown stuff, it tastes funny? You know, you know…”
FACT CHECK
Claim: Brown stuff tastes funny.
Not all brown stuff tastes funny.
Status: Mostly false
“I don’t know,” she replied.
“Tastes kinda bitter and boozey? Makes you sleepy? Bill used to get it from an Afghani guy? Starts with an L?”
“Laudanum?”
“Yeah, that’s it,” Joe said, his attempt to snap his fingers making a sound like a large beetle being crushed.
FACT CHECK
Claim: Joe Biden has laudanum for breakfast.
Joe Biden only occasionally has laudanum for breakfast.
Status: Mostly false
Why can I see this actually happening?
“My butts been wiped!”
Fantastic. This made my Wednesday a happy one.
Perfect and beautiful. Particularly the granddaughter/nurse FCs.
Imma guess the Joe’s breakfast consists of mostly benzos and adderall.
Status: True
Mmmmm, Xanax and Adderal. Millennial speedballs.
???
You win one pushup contest.
Camel Milk? Fucking theriouthly? We all know Whalth milk ith the next big thing!
I had no idea laudanum was brown. Glibertarians.com is educational!

It’s always tough to pick out the best bit of these, but “his attempt to snap his fingers making a sound like a large beetle being crushed” is pure poetry.
Warty!
Nice to see you! How’s life?
Life’s life. Got a new job, so I have more time to dick around on the interwebs while I’m on two weeks mode and don’t really give a shit about doing what I’m supposed to do.
Other than that, just spending my time trying not to let my simmering rage against the lockdown communists bubble over, you know, the usual.
How about yourself?
Left Minne. Living in CO. Fucking love it.
Also trying to manage rage.
I think I made the mistake of following Warty on the Twitters…
your welcome

DELIVERED THROUGH MENA AIRPORT!!!
Is that the Air base in Asia we stayed at for a week after Afghanistan?
I can’t remember the name.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mena_Intermountain_Municipal_Airport
“Is that the Air base in Asia we stayed at for a week after Afghanistan?”
That was probably Manas-Bishkek. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manas_International_Airport)
It was Manas.
We were there during one of the various revolts/protests/revolutions… we were walking to the DFAC when ash starting drifting down on us. Apparently it was from various fires set in downtown Bishkek.
I like the fact-check format. It heightens the realism.

Re the hotel discussion in morning links – see some similar things but depends on the chain.
Weirdly enough – the unit I support right now basically has a “contract” to book blocks of rooms with a Best Western in San Diego – no base hotels due to proximity, schedules, number of rooms needed, etc. Nice one – pretty new – and now they throw in meal tickets at a bar/restaurant across the parking lot. (Free food on top of my per diem) – surprisingly good, but seeing what they’re charging everyone else based on location, they can probably afford it since we’re such regular/solid customers. I get the room stay credits even if I’m using my government charge card.
BW is a weird outfit – they actually have some really nice properties. The majority rate just okay. Oh man, and then they have some that are straight-up AYFKM? Every time you stay at a new one, it’s like spinning the roulette wheel.
To maximize our points we try to stay at one of three chains: Drury, Holiday Inn Express, and Best Western. Lately we’ve shied away from the BW-Blue and are sticking with the BW-Plus (red). There are some that are labeled “Premier” but they are rare. The BW Premier in Boise is super-nice.
Our Best Western used to be a Holiday Inn back in the 70s. I can only imagine what it’s like to stay there.
I worked at a pretty nice one in Manhattan ages ago but yeah I’ve seen some that look like dumps.
I thought this dishonest cunte’s 15 minutes were up.
Former Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman has filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and former Trump White House official Julia Hahn, alleging they engaged in a conspiracy of witness intimidation against him over his testimony in then-President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment.
Vindman, who was one of the few officials to directly listen into the July 2019 phone call between former President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, outlines in the lawsuit what he describes as “an intentional, concerted campaign of unlawful intimidation and retaliation” over his role in Trump’s impeachment.
“This campaign of intimidation and retaliation has had severe and deeply personal ramifications for Lt. Col. Vindman,” Vindman’s lawsuit says. “It also left a stain on our democracy.”
But not the hundreds of political prisoners being held pretrial for crimes amounting to tresspassing. *makes ‘jerk off’ motion*
Vindman has a mighty high opinion of himself. Pretty much roundly hated by the service members I know.
Private Vindman, thank you very much.
I wonder if he has a life alert button.
It truly is a SugarFree kind of day…
The court should’ve forced him to change his name.
SugarFree is just a nom de plume.

Cupping your favorite nurse’s buttock is completely normal, and, in fact, a compliment. Cupping your granddaughter’s buttock is kind of creepy.

*sigh* Just had to tell a potential client that Thing X can’t be done because Adobe. Adobe is asshoe.
Adobe, Autodesk, Oracle, SAP, …
The list of software companies that started out making really good, useful programs and now just collect usurious rents to drive around in circles all day is quite long.
Oracle: We’re going to count the integrated GPU as an extra core in calculating license cost.
I’m still using Autocad LT 2010 because of that.
Which adobe? acrobat? Creative Cloud? Indesign? Flash?
The clay mixture.
InDesign –> EPUB and obfuscating fonts.
As for Adobe *in general*, their subscription model is of the devil. I’m still using Photoshop 7.

I’ve never forgiven them for buying Macromedia and destroying it.
^^^ That was my first foray into programming and animation. ActionScript was close to whatever ancient scripting language (I think Card something?) I was using in my high school class.
Hypercard, I’ll wager.
Thats it! I was amazed at what I was able to move between the two languages in a limited capacity. And to be honest, Macromedia Flash was just another iteration of Hypercard.
I have Photoshop CS6. Once I decided which photo camera to buy based on whether its RAW images can be handled by my Photoshop after the most final upgrade.
We need LibreAdobe. Maybe LibrePhotoshop.
Krita substitutes pretty well.
Adobe is outdated. Use cinder blocks.

That’s what they said about the claim Biden was checking his watch at the military funerals.
Never mind the video clearly showed him checking his watch multiple times, or am I misremembering?
“This comment lacks important context…”
Even Snopes couldn’t find the context.

Yep, schizo… take a look at the self-referential excerpt below.
Why do I find it unsurprising that a young man in a modern philosophy department could have a complete and total schizophrenic break with nobody noticing?
I had a friend who had a serious break a couple of years ago…some of the shit she posted to her LinkedIn account when it happened read a lot like some of the shit in this guy’s manifesto. It’s tragic.

What’s weird is, somebody dumped two Barrets, with the serial numbers filed off, but I’ve never heard of one being used in a crime.
Never tell people where you had your boating accident.

There is some fine police work there:
Why would the cop make a statement from just looking at the picture?
HAPL EDIT FAIRY!
Only the last 4 lines were supposed to be quoted.

I once found a little Gerber folding knife by the side of the road, and felt like the luckiest bastard around…
I was fishing recently and found a Leatherman next to the stream. Score!
But I’d rather have the rifle.
The lack of serial numbers kills the free gun boner – possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number is a ticket to 5-10 in Petersburg.
If they were complete guns, I might have been tempted to stash them somewhere for a particularly rainy day. Without the barrels, nah.
A guy could have a good weekend in Vegas with a couple of those.

One might wonder if Duane Smith knew exactly where to go fishing.
I spent much of my yute riding my bike and fishing the canals and lakes in that area.
If they get *really* lucky, they might just pull up a barrel with a body in it, which has been known to happen around there.
That’s a really good magnet.
“… and they didn’t find any ammunition.”
Not with a magnet, you’re not.
But now you know where to look.

And just like that Cocaine Mitch devolves to Mandarin Mitch: McConnell opposes leniency for U.S. Capitol rioters
I wonder if he’s doing that just to tweak Trump’s nose – see who I am? You can’t do a fucking thing about me, can you? It’s really a kind of Trumpian ploy.
If so, I suspect he also managed to really piss off a lot of people he needs to vote for him.
This is who Mitch has always been, and I get the feeling that this is his last rodeo.
As a KY guy, I’m good with that.
The Turtle moves.
Agreed. He has always been like that. He was never really Cocaine Mitch. And he should never be trusted to run again.
“his attempt to snap his fingers making a sound like a large beetle being crushed”
That sent shivers down my spine. Thanks.
That’s what you get for being a controlled opposition tool.
Erin O’Toole is no longer the leader of the Conservative party.
In a secret-ballot vote Wednesday morning, Conservative MPs chose to oust their leader after just 17 months and one failed election at the helm. …
But the root of the anger goes back much further. O’Toole won the leadership claiming to be a “True Blue” conservative — a contrast with Peter MacKay, who despite holding senior cabinet roles in Stephen Harper’s government, was labelled by the O’Toole campaign as a red Tory.
Yet once the leadership was secured, O’Toole took the party in a much different direction. After pledging to scrap the Liberals’ carbon levy, O’Toole promised a version of his own — which he steadfastly denied was a “tax,” despite it applying a surcharge on purchases like gas.
O’Toole’s election platform promised roughly $100 billion in new spending over 10 years — equivalent to what the Liberal government was pledging, which rankled fiscal hawks within the movement.
That’s why we won’t be able to vote our way out.
I remember when John Boehner first became speaker of the house.
He said “You shouldn’t judge us on what we get passed, you should judge us on what we get repealed.”
*Spoiler Alert: They didn’t repeal a thing.
I don’t understand (Canadian) politics, but seeing someone get fired sounds good to me.
Go Convoy!
More and more good fallout from the convoy. The Tool was another feckless witling who pandered to the existing Overton Window instead of working to move the damned thing.
He won’t be missed. Now hopefully Pierre Poilievre can at least act as Interim Leader and get in Castreau’s face as often as possible, preferably with Leslyn Lewis as his deputy so she can start every address to the Speaker with “Mr. Speaker, I, a true blackface, rise to ask the Prime Minister, a blackface LARPer, the following question:”
Man, I’d pay real money for funny shit like that.
Your Parliament and our Congress seriously need a dose of the members telling each other exactly what they think of their opponents, a la England’s and many other countries’. Enough of this decorum shit.
We finally got a real snow storm today. Schools are closed, roads are bad, even Chick Fil A is closed.
The real test is whether or not Waffle House can weather the weather.
Our last storm, it was the only thing still open.
It was as cold inside as out.
Yeah, we’re bracing ourselves for that one over here in SW OH. Just found out that if my employer closes our offices tomorrow, the WFHers will still have to WFH (barring a power outage.) ::Nelson laugh::
We were supposed to get all kinds of dumped on, but maybe got 3″. Big woop.
That’s what happened the last “big snow” we were supposed to get. But this time they were right. So as accurate as flipping a coin.
People are panicking here. Depending on the temperatures, it could be rain, it could be ice, or it could be snow. *shrug*
We are getting freezing rain… they say.
Just some light rain so far. And most DFW schools already announced closures for two days. Aaaahh! Why?
wax up your Flexible Flyer and head to Cedar Hill
That’s a bit of a hike from Frisco. I may just take the kids down to the end of the street where they have a few mounds piled up from when they built the neighborhood.
These are the times I miss the house in VA. Our backyard dropped 30ish feet before the tree line. Prime sledding so long as you bailed out before the brambles.

Combat ready
U.S. soldiers who refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine will be immediately discharged, the U.S. Army said on Wednesday, saying the move was critical to maintain combat readiness
The Army’s order applies to regular Army soldiers, active-duty Army reservists and cadets unless they have approved or pending exemptions, it said in a statement.
The discharge order is the latest from a U.S. military branch removing unvaccinated service membersamid the pandemicafter the Pentagon made the vaccine mandatory for all service members in August 2021.
Leadership. Honor.
Should make the upcoming war kind of interesting.
unless they have approved or pending exemptions
Have any even been approved?
No
Definitely a crisis.
And that’s not even asking “from” or “with”.
Let’s see their health prior to those deaths also
“roughly 79”
*tears hair out* I hate when people write that. It can’t be roughly a specific number. It could be roughly 80, or it could be 79. I’d accept “the most recent records indicate 79…”
Aren’t there something like 1000 training deaths/year?
We don’t talk about that…wait, can we label those also as COVID?
We have updated our number to rougly (for you Raven) 1079 personnel have died.
*doffs cap to OBE*
Utter horseshit. The White House is completely out of control and the DOD is bending the knee like the sellouts they are.
Too be fair, if it is a lawful order from the CiC they should obey it.
If it is unconstitutional, well that’s different.
So fucking stupid. And when the anointed members all give the plauge to each other anyway, what then? Will the brass admit the error of their ways?
\
You’re adorable.
I try.
Nope cause they will fall back on “any member that contracts COVID is protected or had a less chance of severe illness”
I thought this was good:
And then 30 minutes later:
Most people have no idea how feeble a move that is, like 3000 soldiers is supposed to be a lot.
It is when you are placing them in an area that will allow you to cry foul when they get blown to smithereens and use as a catalyst for more troops and/or involvment.
The Army is in the midst of a manning crisis. We are going to fail our Recruiting mission by significant numbers. Retention has been exceedingly high, to the point of being unsustainable.
Ignoring that the only person who can legally order someone to take an experimental treatment is the CiC while acting under mobilization authority, this is stupid and shortsighted.

Bold strategy Cotton…
Well when its Obama driving the bus, what did you expect? He is a shrewd politician that can’t read a room.
Oh now isn’t this choice! It’s our proprietary secret!
And you just never mind who we’ve been helping.
Models a proprietary secret? Works for climate, why not gerrymandering?
And of course, that’s assuming he actually used it.
Holy moly. Welcome to our fair and equitable future.
…. And it gets worse:
“some Democrats admitted that they received some extra help from two Princeton Gerrymandering Project staffers who were working for Wallace, Hannah Wheelan and Helen Brewer.
“I got the sense that they really wanted us to win,” said a Democrat who was part of the Cherry Hill meetings. “The only reason I’m not mad is because we won.”
[….]
New Jersey’s redistricting commission, which has six Democrats, six Republicans, and a tiebreaker that was recommended to the Supreme Court by the Democrats.”
I know it’s not normal for a judge to initiate an action, but maybe coding an imperial tie breaker is one thing that shouldn’t be left to the disputing parties.
If it’s just “accept maps from each party in alternating turns”, why do they even need that guy?
A more advanced state like NY doesn’t bother with any “commission” nonsense. We just have the Dems draw the most outrageously partisan map they can conceive while they ask “what are you gonna do about it?”
I read some of the contents under Gordilock’s article. I didn’t know there was so much lead paint left.
