Good evening. I appreciate the opportunity to speak directly to the American people tonight about how we can end this shutdown and meet the needs of the American people.
I can do this, I can do this, Nancy thought. I’m the Speaker of the House. The sexy, sexy Speaker of the house.
Sadly, much of what we have heard from President Trump throughout this senseless shutdown has been full of misinformation and even malice.
Yeah, sexy. Way sexier than Donald and his hair.
The President has chosen fear. We want to start with the facts.
The fact is: On the very first day of this Congress, House Democrats passed Senate Republican legislation to re-open government and fund smart, effective border security solutions.
Smart and effective like me. In bed. No, don’t giggle. Don’t giggle. You’re the Speaker of the House. You speak for the House! Speaking! You’re speaking!
But the President is rejecting these bipartisan bills which would re-open government – over his obsession with forcing American taxpayers to waste billions of dollars on an expensive and ineffective wall – a wall he always promised Mexico would pay for!
The fact is: President Trump has chosen to hold hostage critical services for the health, safety and well-being of the American people and withhold the paychecks of 800,000 innocent workers across the nation – many of them veterans.
He promised to keep government shutdown for ‘months or years’ – no matter whom it hurts. That’s just plain wrong.
That’s just plain wrong! That’s sort of language that will get through to those drooling rubes. Wrong. Wrong. Just plain wrong!
The fact is: We all agree that we need to secure our borders, while honoring our values: we can build the infrastructure and roads at our ports of entry; we can install new technology to scan cars and trucks for drugs coming into our nation; we can hire the personnel we need to facilitate trade and immigration at the border; and we can fund more innovation to detect unauthorized crossings.
The fact is: the women and children at the border are not a security threat, they are a humanitarian challenge – a challenge that President Trump’s own cruel and counterproductive policies have only deepened.
Why did I think about Donald’s hair? It always gets me wet. Stupid, Nancy. stupid stupid stupidstupidstupidstupidstupid Just finish your speech. Just finish it.
And the fact is: President Trump must stop holding the American people hostage, must stop manufacturing a crisis, and must re-open the government.
Did I say “the fact is” too many times?
Thank you.
OMG. Chuck just touched my pooper!
Thank you, Speaker Pelosi.
America? Tonight I sexy stare you into submission.
My fellow Americans, we address you tonight for one reason only: the President of the United States – having failed to get Mexico to pay for his ineffective, unnecessary border wall, and unable to convince the Congress or the American people to foot the bill – has shut down the government.
I am tough and all Senanantoriabel (Sentoreeryal? Senatorical?) and I will glare at the camera so you know I am super serious.
American democracy doesn’t work that way. We don’t govern by temper tantrum. No president should pound the table and demand he gets his way or else the government shuts down, hurting millions of Americans who are treated as leverage.
Oh, crap, I just farted. I hope the mics didn’t pick that up. Must close my anus. I am the master of my anus; my anus is not the master of me. I am the master of my anus; my anus is not the master of me.
Tonight – and throughout this debate and his presidency – President Trump has appealed to fear, not facts. Division, not unity.
Unity. Unity of my anus halves. Closed. Close. Close.
Make no mistake: Democrats and the President both want stronger border security. However, we sharply disagree with the President about the most effective way to do it.
No! Anus? Another fart? Traitor! Traitor anus!
So, how do we untangle this mess?
Mess. Yes, mess. I definitely pooped a little.
There is an obvious solution: separate the shutdown from the arguments over border security. There is bipartisan legislation – supported by Democrats and Republicans – to re-open government while allowing debate over border security to continue.
There is no excuse for hurting millions of Americans over a policy difference. Federal workers are about to miss a paycheck. Some families can’t get a mortgage to buy a new home. Farmers and small businesses won’t get loans they desperately need.
I’m literally marinating in my own feces at this point. Marinating like a big Chuck roast.
Most presidents have used Oval Office addresses for noble purposes. This president just used the backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear, and divert attention from the turmoil in his Administration.
My fellow Americans, there is no challenge so great that our nation cannot rise to meet it. We can re-open the government AND continue to work through disagreements about policy. We can secure our border without an expensive, ineffective wall. And we can welcome legal immigrants and refugees without compromising safety and security.
Wait, where am I? Where’s the last page of my speech? Fucking Jenny. I’m going to make that cunt intern lick my ass clean. C’mon, Chuck. You can wing this. America. America. Immigrants. Wall. Wall. Wall. America.
The symbol of America should be the Statue of Liberty, not a thirty-foot wall.
YEAH, CHUCK! FART PANTS AIN’T GONNA HOLD YOU BACK!
So our suggestion is a simple one: Mr. President: re-open the government and we can work to resolve our differences over border security. But end this shutdown now.
Thank you.
It’s running down my leg.
The one comment that was here was weird and has now gone away.

Well, the second one is weird, too.
I think I’ve asked this many times, but what the hell is wrong with you?
Many tests later, and they still don’t really know for sure.
Science has limits, man.
Science is more limited than you would think when the subject constantly humps the legs of the scientists.
RIPPED FROM TODAY’S HEADLINES!
Seriously though, well done.
I started laughing at the inner monologue, then laughing at what they were saying.
It was so empty and asinine I was getting a chuckle that started to turn to horror as I realized this might be the transcript.
After googling and determining it was indeed the real transcript, I now wonder for the millionth time, what the hell is wrong with them?
I didn’t watch either speech, but this is the best response they and their speechwriters could come up with?
I thought this might be a real transcript. So they actually mentioned manufacturing a crisis and using people so they can get their way? That’s fucking rich.
I love the part about how we don’t govern by tantrum, when the Democrats have been engaging in a two-year tantrum over Trump’s election.
HE STOLE THE ELECTION THEY HAD RIGGED FOR HILLARY!
And this totes wasn’t a tantrum, either:
I love how the very same people who told us we need to pass a major law to see what’s in it, and who “deemed” that law passed, think we should have a debate.
“I’m literally marinating in my own feces at this point. Marinating like a big Chuck roast.”
Profound. Just profound.

The symbol of America should be the Statue of Liberty, not a thirty-foot wall.
Ellis island, too?
I want to know when they’re going to propose tearing down the walls that already exist. Have they asked San Diegans and El Pasoites (?) their opinion of the matter?
Somebody suggested making a wall the symbol of America? I must have missed that.
Straw men are sneaky like that.
Hopefully this wasn’t posted in the AM links, but it’s apropos here.
College students react to Trump’s border wall rhetoric. “The way he’s referring to people across the wall is dehumanizing.” You can probably guess what’s up.
Damn… sick burn indeed.
How about that, indeed.
It is funny and painful at the same time.
Kind of like a SF story.
You would think something like that would force these morons to question the brainwashing they have been receiving, but my bet is that what they will do is demand people that force them to face this reality be blocked from committing these “hate speech” acts against them and demand more safe spaces to counter the evulz of reality and facts.
Narrative and solipsism over alles.
That, or the old gay marriage canard: “They had to lie to be elected. Bigoted Americans won’t vote for someone with nontraditional views.”
And as we know; lying is OK as long as you are morally correct.

I feel like I understand their speech better now.
If these are their true thoughts, my opinion of them would actually go up,
Trump should have just played this video
https://youtu.be/LkgXPtDR-xQ
That would have been hilarious.
He should have played the Bill Clinton video saying that border security and a wall were absolutely necessary to prevent the invasion of the handout snatchers.
The fact is: We all agree that we need to secure our borders, while honoring our values: we can build the infrastructure and roads at our ports of entry; we can install new technology to scan cars and trucks for drugs coming into our nation; we can hire the personnel we need to facilitate trade and immigration at the border; and we can fund more innovation to detect unauthorized crossings.

Speaking of drinking, I saw this was released the other day, and thought about you MikeS.
It’s been out for a long time. I believe it has been their flagship beer since they started. I always send one to my BIF recipients. I’m not a big IPA fan, but I like it…for an IPA. 😉 I’ll send you a couple if you’re interested. It should probably be the official Glibertarian beer.
Well, I suppose Reason has a better claim to it. Or are any of the principals from the woodchipper kerfuffle here now?

Yeah…ignore my last question. Don’t

I agree 100%. Uninquisitive people make my blood boil, grind my gears, and make me spit nails.
So all we have to do is put MikeS and an uninquisitive fellow in a room and we’ve got a nail factory?
No one expects the Spanish Uninquisition!
I’ve already gotten one from you back in the Spring. Hence why I thought of you. The full list (one for each state + DC) has a decent selection of other styles, and it’s nice to see Church Brew Works (Pittsburgh) get some recognition. The Seventh Son Imperial Stout recipe they included is insane… it’s a 3 hour boil with a close to 20 lb. malt bill, and 2.5 lb. sugar addition.
Ahh yes. Already forgot I shipped to you!
Ohhh…do they have a HB recipe for it? Our firewall blocks “alcohol” sites so I was trying to guess the story contents from the link.
They do have a 5 gallon home brew recipe for it. They reached out to breweries from every state who provided a homebrew scale clone recipe of one of their beers. One of my favorites is on the list (Jolly Pumpkin Bam), but I’d need to get a 5 gallon oak barrel to ferment in.
Nancy does not get wet.
The closest she gets to lubricated would be something similar to graphite.
crusty..
Vomit’s wet too, y’know.
They could also amend the Anti-Deficiency Act so the government doesn’t “shut down” when there’s a tiff between the President and Congress and we could avoid this whole idiotic theater forevermore.
I personally like the option of, if you don’t show up during the “shut down” you don’t get “back pay”.
I’m ok with it.
I think the entire goddamn thing should be shut down anytime a full budget isn’t passed. No more of these spending packages that do an end run around the Constitution. The more shut downs the better.
While we’re hoping for ponies, can we make Congress responsible for any deficient spending? Not as an institution, but the individual members?
They should definitely be the first guys to not get paid.
Every member who votes for a bill that increases the deficit should be gifted with a non-dischargeable debt for their fraction of the deficit, weighted for tenure in federal office.
OT: 2Chili comes out swinging.
He made Instapundit’s site. Big numbers for TOS today.
I sort of know Professor Reynolds…I wonder if I could get him to link a SugarFree post…. wait, no, I want to stay on good terms with him.
Sure, but cratering a site that huge would definitely be one to tell the grandkids!
I don’t think we want The Puppy Blender’s audience here. He is way more libertarian than his audience, and I still think of him as, most politely, a squish. And I say that as someone who has read his site every day I’ve had internet access for at least 15 years. He does good work exposing the conservatives to less-statist ideas where it might possibly change his mind. Its very probable that I found TOS through one of his or Taranto’s BOTW links.
He is way more libertarian than his audience
I rarely look at comments on Instapundit, but my impression is that most of them would be right at home commenting on Sean Hannity’s blog (if he had one; maybe he does, don’t know, don’t care).
I was disappointed when he brought in co-bloggers, mostly because he had a prime, prime piece of internet real estate and the co-bloggers are pretty mediocre, IMO.
110% agree with all of this.
Oh yes – his audience is definitely more traditional TEAM RED than he is.
Well said regarding Prof. Reynolds. I still read the site everyday and have been since 2001. It seems Glenn is pro intervention when its team red beating the drum and anti when its team blue. Likewise for deep state / NSA, FBI etc. IIRC, I was very disappointed there was not a stronger defense for Snowden when that went down.
Instapundit – during the end days of Bush the II – led me to TOS. I was a big reader of Instapundit, checking it several times during the day for updates. But then I began to notice that I was, through TOS and my own reading, a day or two ahead of Glenn.
That, and the Team Red adherents, made me drop Glenn quite a number of years ago. Haven’t been back but I do credit GR for introducing me to you “fine” folks, and the crazy world of small-l libertarians.
Sort of on-topic – what the fuck is it with the media’s choices of tearjerkers to illustrate the allegedly catastrophic effects of the shutdown? Of the three profiles here, one is a union lawyer and the other a union steward. Please hang on while I tune up my tiny violin.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-government-shutdown-workers-chicago-impact-20190108-story.html
Apparently they lied about tax returns. I kept thinking it was silly anyway. If you’re not going to make it because you don’t get your tax return in March, you were already treading on thin ice.
Because they have vestments in the narrative?
What the fuck is the point of joining a union if they don’t make you whole during contract negotiation work stoppages?
No Union I have ever blonged to gave a damn about the well-being of the membership. We were regarded as dues cattle, required to pay if we wanted to work.
It’s almost like codifying them into the law and forcing membership makes them unaccountable or something.
The couple unions I’ve worked for at bottom-rung jobs were good for a few extra pennies an hour (most of which went straight back to the union) and for enshrining perks for the lifers such as taking your hours.
It’s not a work stoppage as part of a contract negotiation. No need for the unions to give up any of their
slushstrike fund money for the unconnected.The other one isn’t any more sympathetic:
Traveling knowing this was on the horizon.
Grad school for a clerical position.
Vague future promises to look for a job weeks after not working. Sorry sugar tits, the time to start has already passed. You’re late.
You know, a lot of travel-related places will give refunds for timely cancellations.
Yeah, but then she and hubbie would have had to give up their vacation. Not fair!
I mean, I’m sure there are people who are in some kind of dire straits as a result of the shutdown, and I’m not going to engage in schadenfreude over that. Other people being worse off doesn’t make me better off. That said, if you’re a federal employee, the shutdown furlough is like an Epcot Center ride about what being employed in the private sector is like. You get to experience what happens when the economy tanks or your boss doesn’t like the cut of your jib or whatever else happens, except you’re basically guaranteed to get your old job back in a matter of weeks at the most, plus back pay. So yeah, sorry about your inconvenient unplanned vacation time, guys.
^^^^
I have a limited amount of sympathy for those who were caught out by this. However, by and large, people in the private sector are just as fucked when they are fired while living paycheck to paycheck. And generally, its their own damn fault.* The solution is to stop living paycheck to paycheck.
*standard bad luck situation disclaimers apply
That’s true, and I say that as someone who’s working on getting away from the paycheck-to-paycheck bit. The thing that bites government employees is that they’re used to the security, so they don’t plan for unexpected pay decreases or unemployment. If you basically can’t lose your job, and you’re going to get the same amount of money (or more) every two weeks, why save?
Expunging my debts provides a higher yield than the available savings options which provide emergency liquidity.

Oops. CBS fact-checked Trump’s speech. One of the facts checked: Trump’s claim that one in three women attempting to make the crossing is sexually assaulted.
This is a web archive link because, in the live article, no mention is given whatsoever to either Trump’s claim or their Amnesty International fact check. It’s been scrubbed, like with a scrub brush.
That’s not even as dangerous as the average college campus. That’s where the real rape is. Fake news.
Damn, that journey to Murica sounds nearly as dangerous as being on a college campus. Can’t we just drop flyers into central America? “You will be raped 60% of the time you are crossing the wastelands to get to Murica, but when you arrive and get free college tuition, you will be raped 9000% more”.

Bring all the troops on home from Syria and Afghanistan and re-deploy them to the border. That has to be a nice gig compared to what they have now. Use the military to build the damn wall. I’m not going to bother saying I’m not for a wall, I’ve said it enough times already. That being said, fuck the dems. Use the military budget and resources to build the wall, it’s a defense mission. Re-open the shit government and no negotiations needed, the dems get jackshit of what they want, again.
And he could order it done with his pen and phone, couldn’t he? That is, if he could find any extra money anywhere in the Pentagon’s budget.

*ponders border from West Texas to California*
Holy shit, those places must really be shitholes. There’s a whole lot of flat and desolate country along our southern border. I’ve heard that Fort Huachuca in Southern AZ is practically considered a punishment posting.
“I’ve heard that Fort Huachuca in Southern AZ is practically considered a punishment posting.”
That’s why they send all those MI spooks there.
Prior to the MI being banished there Ft Huachuca was the home to the Apache Scouts from 1886 surrender of Geronimo on (last retired in 1947). It was considered enough out of the way that during WWII the two negro divisions 92d (colored) and 93d (colored) trained at Ft Huachuca before shipping overseas.
Huachuca is a garden spot compared to Irwin.
It is also home to the only Jaguars that live in the US. Jaguars were shot out in NA by the early 19th century but it looks like they are making a return. Apparently Louisiana was et up with them prior to whites settling here. It is sorta difficult to raise cattle with tigers on the loose so they were terminated with prejudice. The red wolf has certainly made a comeback, now tigers? Cool.
As a youth my dad and I saw one of AZ’s last authenticated wolf sightings (1973?) near Ft Huachuca.
They have spotted (and taped) jaguars in the mountains just south of Tucson. Its pretty cool to stand on my back porch and be able to see mountains with jaguars in them.
I have zero desire to see a jaguar in the wild. Same, actually, with mountain lions (which were spotted in my neighborhood a few years before we moved in). I’m comfortable being the only apex predator in view, thanks.
Anyone else notice that the president omitted the devils weed from his list of smuggled drugs?
Does anyone still smoke Mexican Ditch Weed? It was dying out even in Austin when I last took an interest in that scene almost 20 years ago.
The fact is: We all agree that we need to secure our borders, while honoring our values: we can build the infrastructure and roads at our ports of entry; we can install new technology to scan cars and trucks for drugs coming into our nation; we can hire the personnel we need to facilitate trade and immigration at the border; and we can fund more innovation to detect unauthorized crossings.
I’m not even a fan of the Great Wall of Trump. But, how goddamned stupid do you have to be to believe this shit? There’s only one thing in that list (“fund more innovation to detect unauthorized crossings”) that actually has the possibility of reducing illegal immigration. And even that is highly, highly, improbable. The rest of the policies aren’t even geared to that outcome.
It’s almost like a follow-up to the point I made yesterday. Trump’s critics are as utterly dishonest as he is. The only difference is that when Trump lies, it’s usually an outlandish and ridiculous lie (“and Mexico will pay for it”) that no one is even expected to believe. The critics’ lies are generally vapid and pointless, even though they’re often more visibly and demonstrably untrue.
We all agree that we need to secure our borders, while honoring our values
What does that even mean? How does having an insecure border “honor our values”?
It means more govt. jobs and juicy govt contracts for non-functional hardware
But will the equipment be named as appropriately as the Rapiscan?
OMG that’s real? I thought that was a joke all this time.
Yep, that’s a real company name. First time I had to step through one of those special new scanners, I had to bite my tongue when I saw the name plate.
My guess is whoever coined it was thinking of Rapid Scan, and no one pointed out the terrible idea. Just like the old (joke) website for Pen Island.

Folding underwear. Is that what the kids call it these days?
OT Angry Rant. A relative of mine who has battled mental illness and more recently drug addiction, waa nailed for possession of meth. They allegedly had a used needle with a trace amount of meth in their car.
In our state any amount of meth is automatic felony. Just found out they made a plea deal, to eliminate some other charges but the felony sticks. As part of probation he loses his license for 3 years and is required to hold at least a part time job. How the hell do they expect a felon with no license to be able to find a job? Fuck this system.
I would not be surprised if that matches the recent history of most of the able-bodied working-age men I saw wandering the streets of downtown Cleveland at all hours during recent visits.
Court system and prison industrial complex employees need jobs too.
Don’t do the meth if you can’t get a lift.
You know what people saddled with a drug addiction and who knows what other psychological baggage need? They’re hobbled already, so what they really need is a bunch of obstacles to have to surmount. It’s like when a sprinter injures his leg, you make him run hurdles to get better.
“How the hell do they expect a felon with no license to be able to find a job?”
Feature not bug. No job = more likely to get in more trouble. More trouble = more money for lawyers, courts, prisons etc.
The system is working as designed; the mistake is believing the design is to try and rehabilitate people. It’s like any bureaucracy; it’s designed to sustain and grow itself, just like cancer.
It’s what you get when you compromise between one side that wants to punish people for breaking laws and one side that wants to prevent people from breaking laws in the future, particularly when both are in a position to profit. You wind up with a system that doesn’t do the latter very well but doesn’t quite satisfy the former.

The symbol of America should be the Statue of Liberty, not a thirty-foot wall.
How about a thirty foot wall with towers topped with little Statue of Liberty figures?
Give the little statues flamethrowers, and I’m in.
I was just going to have the torches be searchlights.
And the eyes of every statue shoot frickin’ laser beams.
Shh. It’s the Gaze of Liberty.
For the next iteration, upgrade to include at least one Liberty Prime.
Could even put up window shops at the bottom that sell statue of liberty trinkets.
…and shirts saying:
“I tried to illegally enter America but all I got was this lousy t-shirt.”
Mexico could actually be paying for the wall through trinker sales.
Since I will likely be missing Afternoon Lynx, you’ll have to deal with your afternoon titties now.

Imagine the possibilities of 18…
If the Dems are serious about their opposition to a wall on the southern border, they should introduce a bill to tear down the existing walls/fences, etc. There’s a lot of them, including one that runs most of the CA/Mexico border.
If any of the Repubs had any brains or balls, they would shop a bill to do exactly that for Dem sponsors. Maybe introduce it themselves, and (at least in the Senate) fast-track it for a floor vote. Honestly, if I was McConnell, I’d set aside half a day a week for floor votes on Dem bills/issues. Fast-track them through committee, have Repubs sponsor them, whatever, waive the filibuster as a concession to the minority party having such a barrier to getting floor votes (and watch the Dems squawk about that), but get them up for a vote and make the Dems vote against them.
The campaign commercial fodder, and the mockery and lulz, would be endless.

If “Better Dead Than Red” is hate speech, I don’t want to know what they think of my “Kill a Commie For Your Mommy” bumper sticker.
“The only good Socialist is a dead Socialist, except for the hot girls then they’re good as sex slaves” doesn’t really roll off the tongue (or fit very well on a t-shirt).

I hate communists with the passion of a thousand burning super novas. Such evil deserves nothing but contempt. And some other nasty things.
The Ramones taught me four rules. The third rule is, don’t talk to Commies.
I too am guilty of the hate crime of hating communists.
I have no idea whether the Patriot Front is a “white nationalist organization” or not, but being condemned by the SPLC, itself a far-left hate group that is notorious for libeling those with whom it disagrees–or being condemned by anyone else–obviously has no legal significance.
“White-nationalist/supremacist” is anyone to the right of Karla Marx. They (leftists) killed the word “racist”, so they have to use this now.

I dunno. Bezos doesn’t even look like a whore munger. I don’t even see this guy having any fun, at all. But that was one patient gold digger there. You think she just waited for a magical number like 70 billion all this time? *70! Whohoo, girls night out, gets lawyer on speed dial*.
She married him before he started Amazon. My guess is that they are far different people now than they were. Extreme wealth has a tendency to do that.
“She married him before he started Amazon.”
Doesn’t matter, it’s never too late to start your career in gold digging. I’d like to see the case why she deserves half his stuff, but she’ll get it, no question.
So would it be wrong of him to sell half of his shares, and give her the cash value after the price plummets?
/assuming she’s going for half of his stuff
Seeing how women, and you know this one is woke, have declared their independence from the patriarchy, I think she should get the sales from her books and he should get Amazon, period. Think that is what happens?
During divorce negotiations, there was some chitchat between the ex and me. She said something like, “I’m good on my own now. I don’t need you.” To which I asked, “Does that mean you’ll stop seeking alimony?” Crickets.
You think he doesn’t already have that?
You know who else spent a lot of money on parades?

Drunk Irishmen?
Shriners?
Macy’s?
My Chemical Romance?
I’m a hate criminal.
Eliminationist rhetoric will not be tolerated. Report to the Ministry of Love.
“Literally” an attack? Like, someone ran at the Constitution with a baseball bat and beat the shit out of it?

It’s a regulation of interstate commerce. “You’re allowed to not do business with people who do X” is more in line with the regulation of trade than penalizing people for not engaging with the market by growing their own grain.
Man, that is one ugly woman. Makes me reconsider my view on burquas.
I’m confused at why this bill was needed in the first place. Maybe i just don’t understand it?
It’s just another piece in the (((THEY))) take over the world. Did I do that right? Needz moar )))?
“One of the most critical rights that we have in our country is freedom of speech. I cannot imagine our country not having the right to economic boycott,”
Get her position on the Colorado bake shop stat.
And based on current law there are a whole host of things that will make you uneligible to sell to government, many of which are firmly planted in free speech/freedom of assembly territory. This is effectively no different. To wit, Tlaib doesn’t give flying fuck about free speech. It’s just that BDS is her ox that is getting gored.
“One of the most critical rights that we have in our country is freedom of speech.”
She supports freedom of speech and Shariah and exterminating all the Jews.
What can you say – she’s a girl who wants it all.
The divvil weed gon give you REEFER MADNESS!

Sinners repent!
Well, I’ve seen the first medical marijuana billboard here in Ohio. Even though from what I’ve heard, there’s no supply, no authorized dealers, and maybe a couple of licensed grow facilities.
Medical weed has been legal in MD for years now, but from what I hear, it is still very difficult to get. And look at DC. Recreational perfectly legal. But no one can sell it. If you want to know how to fuck stuff up, get as close to big government as you can get.
There’s supposed to be another ballot issue this year for recreational use here in Ohio, which is a much cleaner bill then the first (crony) attempt.
“This one weird trick will get you high!”
No! Anus? Another fart? Traitor! Traitor anus! may be the most SugarFree thing I’ve ever read.
Chuck Roast lol.
I am the master of my anus; my anus is not the master of me.
I tell my anus this all the time, but does it listen?
You know if there was ever a time to show how volunteerism in the economy would look it would be now. No new beers because label approvals cant be done? Set up an industry wide consortium to prove you dont need big daddy doing that job.
Same with a lot of industries that are claiming the shutdown is having an effect due to regulators not there to do the job.
“Set up an industry wide consortium to prove you dont need big daddy doing that job.”
Do you even have an idea what it would cost to not have a label Nazi? Well, do you?
I will self report immediately to the nearest ingest facility for reeducation
And composting?
That would be great, except that the breweries who released beers with labels that weren’t approved would get hit with big fines and risk losing their brewing license. When you need that license in order to make your product, I don’t blame them for not rocking that boat too hard.
I know but can you let a man dream
Sorry man, I’m going to crush that dream a little more. But, to make up for it, have a little hope:
That article was so bad, I think I got some of the smug on me.
And then it claims that Flying Dog’s letter was hyperbolic.
My brain hurts now.
Well, Flying Dog now has a new customer.
Unapproved labels must have been responsible for at least 40 million deaths over the past decade. We have to keep people safe!
It’s running down my leg.
That last line had me laughing out loud.
