    I don’t get it.

  2. Just Say'n

    Why does the hat have no lettering in the last frame?

    • SugarFree

      Because I have poor attention to detail.

      • Just Say'n

        Try better

      • Riven

        I believe the correct phrasing is “endeavor to persevere.”

      • Just Say'n

        Too inspirational

      • Swiss Servator

        +1 Declaration of War on the Union

  3. Just Say'n

    The blood pooling toward them better not be Hope Hick’s blood. Please say she survives. I can’t even right now

    • Gustave Lytton

      I just thought it was Donald’s time of the month. Without H&H, he seems to be a blubbering pussy.

    • bacon-magic

      Hawt

      • Just Say'n

        Look who’s back

      • Old Man With Candy

        He slipped past his employer’s block. Used grease to squeeze out between the bars.

  4. The Other Kevin

    Where is the Chip Bok signature?

    • Swiss Servator

      *mulls over catbutting TOK…refrains, for now*

    • Bobarian LMD

      Needz MOAR LABELZ?

  5. Riven

    I had no idea that’s what wainscoting was. I … learned something today.

      • Just Say'n

        That’s transphobic

      • SugarFree

        There is some controversy over the spelling.

    • Drake

      I learned about it when my decided she wanted in our finished basement.

  6. Lachowsky

    Whether or not the hair enjoys the act determines whether the relationship is parasitic or symbiotic.

  7. CPRM

    Who spilled wine on the carpet? Was it Hobo Steve? They call him Sloppy Steve for a reason.

      • SugarFree

        I approve heartily.

      • Michael

        Firefox AND Opera?

        You monster.

  8. John Titor

    The first one is basically a Zen riddle.

    • Drake

      I can’t image how that show would succeed. The #resistance doesn’t want to watch a white trash redneck family, the rednecks don’t want to watch a commie making jokes at their expense.

      • commodious spittoon

        Those dumb rubes won’t be able to tell they’re being mocked. It’ll be indistinguishable from whatever that Tim Allen show was called.

    • Creosote Achilles

      I’m certain Roseanne the character will be reflective of the people who did vote for Trump and not a crass, shallow caricature. I mean, we know that libs are the worst at understanding the arguments of their opposition and if shows like West Wing and House of Cards can’t even give a credible voice to even right wing moderates, surely a comedian dumb enough to marry Tom Arnold will be able to do so.

      • Just Say'n

        She is a Trump supporter herself

      • Creosote Achilles

        What? *does googling* Well, holy shit. I thought she was a progtard and would never in a million years have thought she’d vote for Trump. That and hearing about the Transgender kid on the show, I assumed it was just going to be Roseanne: Prog Harder. My bad.

      • Just Say'n

        Roseanne, the person, has this bizarre affinity for the working class (she was a big Green Party supporter) and I don’t think Democrats realize how thoroughly discredited they have become with workers in this country. I have a friend in politics (Democrats) and he said that private sector unions can’t deliver votes anymore, because about half of their workers refuse to vote Democrat. Trump’s strange blend of economic nationalism with conservative social policy is a big winner among the working class (it is the same playbook that Nixon and Reagan both employed to win these voters).

      • Creosote Achilles

        Oh, believe me, being from working class roots, I get the appeal of Trump. I simply had slotted Roseanne into ‘unhinged progtard celebrity’ in my head and didn’t think any further than that. I’d sort of forgotten about her affinity for blue collar folks. It makes sense, I was just being intellectually lazy. *Cute Alanis Morrisette*

      • Chipwooder

        Roseanne’s kind of an old-style union Democrat. She definitely rejects the current Dem obsession with identity rather than class. Makes her much more interesting than the average lefty celebrity, that’s for sure.

      • kinnath

        I was up in one of the satellite the cafeterias for lunch today. This cafeteria is mostly used by the union factory folks, but it is right next to my wife’s office. So we usually get there about the time the the factory folks are leaving. A 50ish white women as openly disparaging Oprah’s potential run for president and the “important speech” she gave the other night.

        The factory is run by middle-class, blue-collar workers. Many of these people have sons or daughters in the military. These people bailed out on Hillary in the last election. They are not going to rebound to the Democrats in the mid-term election.

    • Chipwooder

      Who knew that the world was dying for a Roseanne revival two decades later?

      • Chipwooder

        Someone apparently thought it was.

        The one thing I did like about the Roseanne show back then was that it was the most realistic TV show. By that, of course, I mean that everyone was ugly. On the vast majority of sitcoms, even the dumpy fat working class guy usually has a hot, thin wife.

    • Drake

      I larfed – at least he doesn’t put everyone to sleep.

    • Just Say'n

      I love that man

    • Chipwooder

      McAfee is endlessly entertaining, as long as you’re not the guy he had killed.

      • Naptown Bill

        On paper he’s a Bond villain. In reality, that role is more properly played by Elon Musk.

      • Just Say'n

        Nick Sarwark would make a good Bond villain. Of course the villain would have to be extremely incompetent and oblivious. But, he has the universal loathing down

      • Chipwooder

        And Bond villians have to be consequential. If Nick Sarwark fell into a volcano tomorrow, who would notice?

      • RBS

        What sort of powers does he gain from the volcano incident and how horribly disfigured is he?

      • Rasilio

        Oh my god how could you….

        My aunt and uncle were babysitting for my parents and took us to the drive in to see that movie when it first came out and I literally had nightmares about it for years afterwards.

        I am just so triggered I can’t even

  9. The Late P Brooks

    I can’t image how that show would succeed. The #resistance doesn’t want to watch a white trash redneck family, the rednecks don’t want to watch a commie making jokes at their expense.

    All in the Family was a pretty successful show.

    • Creosote Achilles

      Archie was likable and people genuinely hated meathead. It’s sorta like how Full Metal Jacket is beloved by military people despite Kubrik intending it as an anti-war piece. He had the intellectual integrity to put the story and characters first instead of his message, which I think All In The Family did as well. I doubt Roseanne has the intellectual capacity let alone the integrity to do it.

      • Chipwooder

        I’ve read that Norman Lear was horrified when Archie Bunker became the hero to most of the show’s audience when he was meant to be a figure of ridicule.

      • Creosote Achilles

        I can believe he was. But they were at the very least willing to follow the money and roll with people loving him. But who knows. Sometimes a piece of fiction transcends what the artist intends.

      • Chipwooder

        True. And, in fairness, while the writers clearly meant Meathead to be the more sympathetic character, they made him pretty buffoonish too.

      • Nephilium

        I’ve heard similar things about Ron Swanson.

      • MikeS

        My favorite sequence from that entire show.

      • Creosote Achilles

        I loved that scene.

  10. commodious spittoon

    CAP Action’s memo says protecting DACA is not only a “moral imperative” for Democrats, it also key to getting votes.

    “The fight to protect Dreamers is not only a moral imperative, it is also a critical component of the Democratic Party’s future electoral success,” reads Palmieri’s memo, obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

    “If Democrats don’t try to do everything in their power to defend Dreamers, that will jeopardize Democrats’ electoral chances in 2018 and beyond,” reads the memo. “In short, the next few weeks will tell us a lot about the Democratic Party and its long-term electoral prospects.”

    Gee, who’d have guessed.

    • Chipwooder

      Hah….as if anyone didn’t already know that their entire reason for pushing amnesty was for votes.

      Whether you are for or against amnesty, the Donk position is still craven and opportunistic.

    • Q Continuum

      Once, just once, I’d like to see a “reporter” ask Luis Gutierrez, Julian Castro or one of these other open border flacks:

      “Mr. Congressman, would your position on this issue change if the immigrants coming in overwhelmingly supported the Republican Party?”

      • mexican sharpshooter

        In the case of Castro, they should ask him in Spanish. (El payaso no se habla una sola palabra de español)

      • Q Continuum

        His real name is probably Toby Anderson.

      • Gustave Lytton

        In fairness, I bet a number of R’s would flip also under that scenario.

    • Rasilio

      Err, last I checked dreamers were not citizens and therefore not eligible to vote……

      Oh I see what you are saying *wink*wink*nudge*nudge*

    • R C Dean

      My proposal for the Dreamers:

      (1) They get permanent residency cards, and are permanently uneligible for citizenship.

      (2) If their parents aren’t legal residents, the parents go back to their home country or the permanent residency of the Dreamer is revoked. If the Dreamers don’t have someone to stay with in the US until they are adults, they go back, too, but can come back when they are adults.

      (3) Chain migration preferences are drastically limited to the spouse and children of the legal resident. For Dreamers and everyone else. Period.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        You’re a monster RC…. Let me ask you one question: when you kick out all the dreamers, who the hell is going to clean your toilets!?

      • Number.6

        Is … is … this the point where I get to call you a monster?

      • R C Dean

        Join the crowd.

        I think this is a balance between compassion for the Dreamers, and not creating incentives for people to smuggle their children into the country. Because you know what happens if we reward it, right?

  11. mexican sharpshooter

    OT: Just when I thought the AZ Republican Party couldn’t possibly get any dumber, they go and pull a stunt like this…

    Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who for years has teased potential runs for higher office, has announced he is running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona.

    “I am running for the U.S. Senate from the Great State of Arizona, for one unwavering reason: to support the agenda and policies of President Donald Trump in his mission to Make America Great Again,” Arpaio said in a tweet posted to Twitter at 9:06 a.m.

    • Just Say'n

      In hindsight, Senator Kid Rock doesn’t sound that crazy

      • Chipwooder

        The gentleman from New Jersey, Senator Glenn Danzig *sigh*

      • 0x90

        “Thank you Mr. Speaker, I rise only to ask the respected members for their support in seeing through the passage of my ‘Making Our Taxes Have Excellent Results’ plan. I yield the remainder of my time.”

    • Q Continuum

      Wow, the one guy that might actually blow it and lost to a Dem in a blood red state. He’s ready to Roy Moore it.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Yeah, pretty much.

  12. Just Say'n

    Overheard at Scientific American

    Writer: Shit- these Iran protests won’t go away.

    Editor: What does this have to do with science?

    Writer: Well, we have the most anti-science presidential administration ever after the most pro-science presidential administration ever. You do the math

    Editor: I don’t get it

    Writer: We need to be able to explain away these protests without dinging the Iranian government

    Editor: Why?

    Writer: Hashtag ‘resist’, bro.

    Editor: I have to circle back to my original question: “what does this have to do with science?”

    Writer: Oh my God- that’s it! Genius!

      Editor

      How quaint.

    • Private Chipperbot

      And getting hammered in the replies. There’s that, I guess.

    • RBS

      The previous tweet and the subsequent tweet are not much better.

    • Naptown Bill

      Ho-lee-shit. That’s a good entry for “Is this an Onion headline?”

    • commodious spittoon

      “Rising temperatures are seen by some experts—”

      And we’re done.

  13. Nephilium

    Since the sharpshooter already went OT… Excelsior! There’s a reason he’s known as Stan the Man.

    • Chipwooder

      If you live to be 95, I doubt you give a shit anymore. People that old can get away with almost anything.

      • Drake

        He was married for 70 years before his wife died. Just give him a handy.

      • Q Continuum

        The guy’s got enough money, just hire some pussy.

      • RBS

        Maybe he thought he did?

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Don’t pin this on me. I’m not the authoritarian shitlord running for senate.

      • MikeS

        Premature victory celebration yesterday. Three different Bell beers, but no Roundhouse. So I bought a 12pack of Two Hearted instead.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Dangit. I will find one available in MikeStown. If its the last thing I do!

      • MikeS

        Haha. Good luck!

      • Nephilium

        You may not be able to find Roundhouse because it’s a seasonal release. Looks like the next batch is due out in September. The Bell’s Winter White is a solid wheat beer that’s available now, and Two Hearted is always awesome.

      • MikeS

        Thanks! I damn near grabbed the Winter White. In hindsight I am pissed with myself as wheats are my favorite styles. Well, looks like I have more shopping to do!

    Pro-Gun Women Regularly Face Violent, Sexual Harassment (repost from FreeBeacon)
    By Stephen Gutowski, December 18, 2017

    These wonderful women are threatened because they speak out for armed self-defense. I’ve met several of them. I know others like them. Progressives think they speak for all victims, and these strong women refuse to be or remain a victim. Listen to the hatred spewed by the people who want you disarmed. This is only a taste. Sadly, there is more. Follow the link (here: http://freebeacon.com/culture/pro-gun-women-regularly-face-violent-sexual-harassment/). – Rob Morse

    “It’s a fucking shame you weren’t killed when that scumbag raped you, you fucking despicable, lying, lowlife, Right-Wing, Neo-Fascist CUNT!” That was the message Kimberly Corban found waiting for her on Facebook early last year.

    “You truly are a soulless, self-righteous, self-serving bitch with sick gun fetish. Do us all a favor & blow your own brains out,” Twitter user Lou Aguilar said to Dana Loesch on Oct. 3.

    “Stick that gun in your cunt bitch and pull the trigger,” Twitter user John T. McFarland said to Jenn Jacques in September 2015.

    “This bitch needs to get off the Internet, she’s an embarrassment to black people. This sill coon lives in a pink and fluffy world where there is some sort of equality. I hope that the kkk lynches,” commenter SR posted on a YouTube video by Stacy Washington.

    • Q Continuum

      You mean the Left is full of hate toward those not on their plantation?!? UNPOSSIBLE.

    • Juvenile Bluster

      If we didn’t have double standards, what would we be?

      (but it’s true that Dana Loesch is a soulless bitch that needs to go away)

    • kbolino

      Facebook, Twitter, YouTube… sounds about right. Cesspools of humanity.

    • Q Continuum

      Needs moar gulags.

    • Just Say'n

      You know who’s loving this Russia, Russia, Russia fever? China

      How long before a disparaging word is ever mentioned about China again, which literally props-up an unstable nuclear regime? When it’s not profitable anymore

      • RBS

        Interesting, perhaps we should look into who is really behind all of this Russia nonsense.

      • Just Say'n

        Russia?

      • antisthenes

        Probably, unless you believe the Kremlin is dumb enough to simultaneous pay Fusion GPS to get sanctions lifted, while also letting their intelligence personnel blab to Fusion GPS about their secret plans to use their puppet Trump to get sanctions lifted.

      • kinnath

        I haven’t been to Moscow since the 90s, but yeah, that’s basically the way the Russians work.

      • Chipwooder

        Hitler?

      • Just Say'n

        I’m not saying that Russia isn’t a bad actor. I’m saying that they’re not the worse actor on the world stage (mainly because they don’t have the power to be such a menacing force)

      • Q Continuum

        Russia is a country with which we could at least potentially have a not-overtly hostile relationship. There are opportunities for mutually beneficial trade. China has basically declared that they plan on taking the US’s place as superpower ASAP and they are much more nefarious looting third world shitholes for natural resources to use against us. An astute statesman might be able to leverage the competitive nature of Russia and China’s relationship into a tenuous Russia-US economic alliance. That doesn’t mean Russia will ever be an ally, but we can do better than what we’ve done so far.

        China is the threat.

      • wdalasio

        That doesn’t mean Russia will ever be an ally, but we can do better than what we’ve done so far.

        Because our geopolicy for the last couple of decades has been run by morons. Instead of thinking strategically, try thinking like a playground kid. It’ll make a lot more sense then. Right now, Russia is the “baddies”. Since China and Russia don’t get along, that must make the Chinese the “goodies”. And even making mutually beneficial trade deals with the Russians must mean we support the “baddies”. Yes, it really is that retarded.

        Just consider, wide swaths of the “foreign policy wise men” were ready to shit their pants over the prospect that Donald Trump might refrain from risking a nuclear war with Russia because they were providing military support to their longstanding ally against ISIS.

      • Q Continuum

        Climate change?

      • one true athena

        well, I just saw that Adam Schiff (he of the punchably smug face and leaking to the press about RUSSIAAAAAGATEE!!!) got 1/6 of his 2016 campaign funds from arms companies. So he’s not JUST a DNC puppet shill and big business crony who hypocritically complains about other people doing it, but also a warmongering bastard. This is my shocked face.

        I hate him so much. At least Ted Lieu is just a moron.

      • wdalasio

        I’m not saying you’re suggesting otherwise, but this Russia nonsense can be being hyped up ridiculously and Russia can be under a terrible government.

      • Just Say'n

        Yes

      I had a phone interview at a consulting firm located in Chicago. Apparently it went well enough that they want me to drive over there next week to do a face-to-face meeting.

      Part of me says “GAAAHH!H!” since leaving my current job after almost 16 years is a bit difficult for me to consider. But the way things are going here – senior management going crazy and my boss, who is losing his interest since he’s retiring soon – I may not have much of a choice.

      • Lord Humungus

        derp – not meant as a reply.

        Would you have to move to Chicago?

      • Lord Humungus

        Thankfully no – part of my terms is no relocation (love my neighborhood and my parents recently moved nearby so I can look after them in their old age).

        This would be a work-from-home job.
