After Donald shook off the parasites and courtiers, he went on a mad Diet Coke jag around the city in a Secret Service Escalade, hitting every McDonald’s the hat could find on Yelp, sampling wares both fluid and fried until his bowels rumbled like an angry horde of Congresswomen. “More,” he cried, “More!” pushing the Secret Service boys, nervous like alley cats, further into the streets of nighttime DC, past museum guards getting blow-jobs from lobbyists on the patio tables of K Street, past junkies on the nod outside million-dollar apartments, too high to use their keypads to get inside, past antifa sturmabteilunglings puking in the gutters to post on snapchat.
Finally, at DC’s ugliest hour, 4am, Donald made them pull over so he could wave a wad of cash at a dwindling herd of streetwalkers, working girls, who started at the night all tarted up for the usual post-SOTU vilefest, but just headed home now, mascara running down there face, lipstick smeared off on johncock, most of them even carrying their wigs. The only one to come over told Donald that she would do whatever he wanted. The greenest of the SS boys yelped and hit the gas when she was close enough for him to see the giant penis that had come unmoored under her miniskirt, the abused red tip of it peeking out the bottom like a shy class hamster. Donald screamed and yelled and threatened and begged to go back, but I knocked a few bills out of his hand and rolled the window up on the squeals of glee as the sore-crotched ladies chased the drifting bills through SUV exhaust.
I wouldn’t have let Donald get too far with the ladyboy. That’s not what he really wants. I should know. I am his hair after all.
“It’s time to go home, Donald,” I told him.
“They dressed in virgin white,” he muttered. “At least be honest about being a whore.”
“Maybe you should go home to your wife, Donald,” I told him.
“Home? I don’t have a home,” Donald said miserably. “That just someplace I go to tweet.”
Here was the Donald I had to deal with, the crash off of the high, the bi in the polar. No matter how well he did at the State of the Union, this was coming. I sighed, ruffling myself on top of his head.
“Tell them to take us home, Donald,” I told him.
“No!” the hat roared. “Hookers, Big Macs and blow!”
“It’s time to go home,” I told the hat. He sat on the buttery leather seat beside Donald, tumescent in his turpitude. More, more; faster, faster was all he knew. He wasn’t the one to ever have to pick of the pieces to keep the country going.
“Prig!” the hat accused. “Prude! What you need is to get laid.”
“My sex life is none of your business,” I told him. If I had a gun I would have made the point with six rounds of lead.
“Home,” I said into Donald scalp, over and over until he repeated it. We drove through the DC streets with the ghastly light of another greasy dawn starting to spill over all the filth. I felt sick.
“abused red tip of it peeking out the bottom like a shy class hamstEr”
My favorite line. Bravo!
Agreed. And there was so much to choose from.
Here’s hoping that class hamster peek-a-dong makes another appearance in a subsequent episode. This really deserves some character development.
It’s just like San Jose, Costa Rica.

Oh, I don’t read SugarFree articles.

Virginia Dems are just not having a good week – now Mark Herring, the scumbag gungrabbing AG, is admitting to his own college flirtation with minstrels.
Allow me to laugh hysterically for a day or two.

Best of all – Herring was one of the Dems who publicly called for Northam’s resignation.
Oh, that’s delicious.

According to “sources”. Anonymous hearsay, perhaps double-hearsay, who knows? Entertaining, but no more, certainly not evidence of anything.
I have no evidence one way or another with regards to this claim or the original accusation.
I do recognize a PR problem when I see one, though.
Eh, NBC claimed they had two different sources, and it’s not as if they are likely to be out to torpedo a black leftist officeholder.
Are you asking me to trust NBC, or asking me to put my faith in the bias of NBC making it unlikely they’d fabricate a story damning to the democrat?
The latter
Anonymous hearsay, perhaps double-hearsay, who knows?
Very true, and yet “shithole countries” was a thing as well, so I say what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Absolutely a PR problem.
Of course, having two anonymous sources adds exactly zero to the veracity of the claim, as no one can verify if you have one, or two, or how the two sources came by the info, etc. etc.
The real mystery here is, what happened to NBC’s double standard?
You chose an appropriate article to SugarFree the link. Meta!

I’m finding it interesting that despite the left’s gestapo tactics of ban, shame, harass, whatever it takes, they continue to get destroyed on the intertoobz.
Why, its almost like those tactics only work in brief, transitory windows when a revolutionary technology is expensive and can be controlled, but as soon as capitalism figures out how to give it to nearly everyone, attempts to control people through thuggery become futile.
When I was in 4th or 5th grade, we did a project where we delivered a report on a famous historical figure. We had to dress like the person, too. Me: Robert E. Lee. My best friend: George Washington Carver – in blackface naturally.
Good thing neither of us went into politics, I guess. It never struck me as particularly problematic before…
My sis just texted me this:
“Also I told mom she torpedoed your political career when she put shoe polish on your face for your California raisin costume”
In 1987, when those singing claymation California Raisins commercials were all the rage, I shamefully must admit that I appeared at school in raisinface for Halloween.
I wore a Klingon mask, that’s probably as bad or worse.

I was Colin Powell for 5th grade wax museum project. I was too lazy to bother to look the part, so I just threw on a suit.
It’s not that the Democrats didn’t expect all of this to blow up in their hypocrite faces, it’s just that they expected their sycophant media to bury it all before anyone even noticed.

Just for a second, I thought that wasn’t satire.
If they all end up resigning and the governorship defaults to the Republican Speaker of the House, I’m going to laugh until I cry.
This is funny.
BURN!
… heretic?
The next level craziness then is that Kirk Cox is only Speaker because the Republican candidate’s name was picked out of a hat in a tied race, which is no-shit the law in Virginia when an election is tied.
they should’ve had to indian leg wrestle for it.
Or bloody Knuckles.
Here’s the thing:
I went to college in Virginia in the early ’80s. Belonged to the Animal House fraternity on campus. And not once in four years of stereotypical frat parties did anyone put on blackface. I don’t think anyone even thought of it. And we had costume parties and everything. Blackface wasn’t just one of those things that college kids did at that time and place.
And yet it seems hard to find a Democrat official in Virginia who didn’t put on blackface (or wear a Klan outfit – also something that nobody in my frat ever did).
WTF? It seems highly unlikely to be a coincidence that the top two white elected officials in VA did the blackface thing in college, but there it is.
I’ve done a lot of horrible, terrible things in my life and yet, somehow, I’ve never worn blackface and I’ve never raped anyone. It really doesn’t seem like a really high bar to clear, and yet here Virginia sits.
Same here – WTF is wrong with you, Virginia?
Florida envy?
No, they’re showing signs of Chicago Pox. It’s where the state churns through elected officials due to criminal convictions or civil torts.
I am going with “Florida Envy”.
We can’t even blame transplanted NYers for this – Northam is born and raised here, and I think Herring is too. Fairfax grew up in DC.
It really is projection with the left. They accuse the right of being racists, because that’s what the left really is.
Just because the Original Progressives were is no reason to assume we [still] are. /proggies
Don’t you know the parties switched, dumbass?
it’s not clear to me why the two blackface costumes are worse than the alleged oral rape. Fairfax is not accused of groping someone as a drunk teen. he is accused of forced oral copulation as an adult. and now it’s come out that his alleged victim previously told a group of women about it.

i’m guessing he’s fucked. i’m guessing Northam’s fucked too. probably not Herring though b/c then the governorship would fall to GOP. but really it depends on how bad the picture is.
They’ve ignored actual rape by Dem up and comers before. So it probably doesn’t bother them to ignore it again.
Hell, they’ve ignored actual manslaughter by Dem up and comers before.

I might be paranoid.
“Hey! This isn’t a lock, it won’t do a damn thing to set off the powder charge! What sort of scam are you running here?”
The VA does that. Stop by the VA Police Window and they’ll issue anybody a gun lock free of charge. I’ve never seen anybody take one.

Did huffpo have a round of “Journolist” layoffs too?
Easy:
1. A piece against evil republican moneyed interests
2. A hit against Warren, she must not be the perfered candidate for the HuffPo editorial board
3. Piece to shame Dems into nuking the filibuster
4. A hit against Tulsi
How are Dems supposed to nuke the filibuster without having taken the Senate? They Lost senate seats this last election.

For those who missed the special screenings, it looks like “They Shall Not Grow Old” is opening wide now – catch it in the theater while you have the chance! (and if they have the after-credits making-of feature, definitely stay for it).

Yeah, only for a brief time window though. The girlfriend is going to see it, but I won’t have a chance.

So, DailyCaller’s editor in chief was locked out of his Twitter account for tweeting “learn to code.”
Apparently, he was told to delete the tweet to restore his account access.
Leading me to wonder: How do you delete a tweet when you have been locked out of your account?
There was a screenshot of it on the Daily Caller article. Apparently they present a screen for your Auto De Fe where you have a button to delete the tweet that also represents a confession and an abandonment of any claim to appeal of the accusation of wrongthink.
I simply cannot understand the apparent addiction to Twitter.

I don’t even know what that means.
That’s okay.
I don’t think Twitter is inherently bad. It’s just a tool and tools can be used for both good and evil. But Twitter’s the perfect vehicle for hot takes and hot takes are rarely a reasoned argument. Now with Dorsey going out of his way to make it the echo chamber its critics always accused it of being, Twitter is a source of smug stupidity in a world that already had far too many.
For example, I loved the quote I read about YA Twitter:
https://www.vulture.com/2017/08/the-toxic-drama-of-ya-twitter.html
One useful thing I see it get used for is updating injuries during sporting events like football games.

If you do, I will select a square mile of either your capitol city or largest city, depending on my mood, and I will flatten it from the air. I will give warning so you can evacuate, but any attempt to interfere will lead to the destruction of your air force and your air defense system.

I just learned a new buzzphrase
When Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport remodeled a terminal, it didn’t buy light bulbs; instead, the company signed a contract for “light as a service” from Signify, the company formerly known as Philips Lighting. Signify owns the physical lights, giving it the incentive to make products that last as long as possible and that can be easily repaired and recycled if anything breaks.
The service is one example of a shift to a circular economy model. Rather than just mining materials and manufacturing products that ultimately end up in landfills, companies are increasingly trying to figure out how to use resources in closed loops. In a new survey of 300 executives, ING found that 62% of American companies now plan to move toward circularity. Another 16% already use circular economy principles. Nearly twice as many U.S. companies say that they are embedding sustainability in strategic decision-making in 2019 compared to 2018.
Still, most companies are in the early stages of understanding what the circular economy means and how they could work within it. When asked what’s at the core of the model, most executives say that it’s about reducing waste or making sure that products are recycled, missing the full picture of benefits–if products and materials stay in use longer, that also means less resource extraction and less risk in supply chains, and cutting climate pollution.
“Circular economy, Dude. I’m getting in on it.”
“Cool. What’s that?”
“Whatever you want it to be.”
Rather than just mining materials and manufacturing products that ultimately end up in landfills, companies are increasingly trying to figure out how to use resources in closed loops.
I guess, if the products can be recycled for re-use in the same or similar products. I just wonder how many products that really includes.
The “X as a service” thing is old as the hills, though. We have millions of dollars of products and equipment that are under combined purchase/service/replace contracts.
But the millennials never hard about those so it’s new.
Please, RC. Everyone knows LaaS is driving engagement of core competencies with scalable best practice solutions and leveraging disruption with paradigm impacts.

That was good. I’d have guessed you were an exec at my company, but you forgot to work in ‘achieving synergy’ and something about the strength of diversity.
Synergy is still a thing? That was big in the ’90s! How about ‘mission critical’?
As long as they are diverse synergies which facilitate rightsizing and goal-oriented reorganization.
But can you really dollarize the commodification without baselining to a sufficient degree of granularity?

Fairfax accuser’s statement. Unlike Doctor Ford, she states precisely when and where it happened.
As to why she didn’t report it at the time:
I just don’t get it. Somebody rapes you, and you do absolutely nothing to punish them for it? I might decide not to report it at all, but that only be so nobody could say I had a motive when they are investigating his mysterious death from multiple gunshot wounds.
The Bill Clinton era must have left an impression. Don’t bring allegations against Democrats, you’ll be destroyed.
Shoot, shovel, shut up.
Or as a friend of mine liked to say, “Ice pick, shovel, lime, silence. Some assembly required.”
“Since October 2017 when I first began telling friends about the assault, I have never
wavered in my account because I am telling the truth. I have no political motive. I am a proud
Democrat.”
I mean, that’s your answer right there. She didn’t know he was running for office until October 2017, and then instead of riding the MeToo wave to name him and shame him, she waited until after the election and only told the WaPo. Because TEAM.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: the reason these leftist women working in politics, in the media, in Hollywood hate and fear men is because they are surrounded by gropey sleazy rapey shitbags like Bill Clinton, like Matt Lauer, like Harvey Weinstein. The poor things are all fucked up in the head because they have internalized two messages:
1. Republican men literally hate women and want them chained to the stove. They are rapists and abusers and MUH HANDMAIDENS TALE.
2. Democrats are the only thing keeping this from happening. Therefore any Democrat must be supported. No matter what.
I mean shit, prominent leftist women in the 90s said things like “I’ll grab my kneepads” referencing Bill Clinton. Publicly. These poor girls that get sucked into leftwing politics, get chewed and spit out by the John Edwards and the LBJs of the world, but still are true fucking believers that the RETHUGLIKKANS ARE WORSE!!!!! so they live in this fucked up shattered headspace where the guy who takes them into his hotel room, throws her on the bed, and jams his cock in her throat without even the slighest hint of consent is a good guy who cares about women. Meanwhile, his opponent, WHO WAS A FUCKING WOMAN is just a tool of the patriarchy who will oppress the womenz by uh…..treating them like adults who can pay for their own birth control.
It’s possible to imagine that in the future, an old pair of shoes could be fed into a reverse vending machine, turned back into the base materials, and then remade into a new pair on the spot.

The mistake he made is thinking it is either/or. Without voting for the subsidy they wouldn’t have got the 530 electrolux jobs. But how many others did they lose out on spread across the whole community*?
Its a classic example of the seen and the unseen.
*in this case the answer is probably less than 530, as some of the money was state and federal money, so there might have been a, say, loss of 600 jobs elsewhere to get the 530, but only 300 of the 600 were in Memphis, with another 150 in the rest of TN, and the other 150 spread across the US.

I have a feeling the next generation of grocery stores are going to be like the old ones, where you just give them your order (via internet) and you then pickup/its delivered. I mean, its already starting, but the next gen stores you won’t even be able to go in to shop. They will just be a warehouse.
It is the 21st century version of the 19th century store with the products behind the counter.

This right here. Yeah, I don’t even like that one of the grocery store chains in the area has started pre-bagging some of the perishables (hot peppers, tomatillos, etc.).
Yeah I would be down to order dry goods, assuming cost effectiveness, but I want to check the eggs for cracks, inspect the meat, pick my produce, etc.
Personally, I’d be wary if I was grocery stores. I think they do a lot of sales with people wandering the aisles looking for their list items and tossing in stuff on a whim. If I was just ordering with a list, I’m gonna just order with a list.
Yes, I do it at Kroger and Walmart now, but I can still go inside too.
How hard was it to not wear blackface in the 70’s and 80’s? I was young, but I do not remember stumbling upon a lot of people in blackface when I went out on Halloween. I guess it was a southern thing?
There were roving mobs of makeup artists and mimes prowling the streets of Dixie who’d surround young democrats and paint their faces in dark hues before shoving them in front of cameras. It was a silent epidemic.
Think of all those innocent victims who are in a box because of that silent epidemic.
An invisible box that keeps getting smaller…
Whole life in Kentucky, never seen anyone in blackface. And I knew a gay guy who dressed as a nun three Halloweens in a row.
Same, except for the nun part.
And, you know, the 5 years I lived elsewhere. Maybe the 3-year Nun run was during that gap.
1994-1987 = 5 years. yep, just verifying my math.
three Halloweens in a row
It would have been four, but you dragged him behind your pickup truck?
But it was only because of a deal gone bad, not because of anything personal or hateful.
As someone who attended about a decade of Halloween parties in Norfolk, I’ve been very surprised by this. Wearing KKK or blackface in Norfolk is good way to quickly get the ever living shit beaten out of you. Waking up in the hospital with your wallet missing and on a feeding tube would be just about the best case scenario. The is the same city where two journalists on a date were pulled from their car on a major street by a mob and beaten just for being white.
There’s nice neighborhoods surrounding EVMS, but Norfolk is strange in that every nice neighborhood is surrounded by slums. I wouldn’t be walking down the street in any of them wearing a white hood.
Virginia’s DNC weekend retreat.
Well, shit. I just watched that again. At the 1:08 mark, Fletch gives the ‘white power’ symbol while making fun of the KKK. He was meta before meta was a thing.
“Hi fellas! Hank Himmler”
We used to understand the way to deal with Nazi and Klansmen was to laugh at them for being idiots.
The youngsters don’t understand that “punch a Nazi” is just giving them credit they don’t deserve.

I’ve always loved you…
Hasn’t changed in that regard.
Having gone to a preppy white boy private high school in Virginia in the early ’90s, I can remember a ’70s pimp party where everyone tried to dress like Huggy Bear with the crazy color suits and the big hats, but it was just clothes, no blackface.
Yeah, I’ve heard of the clothing thing. In college we had a “Ghetto Party” which was just a couple years before everyone screamed “that’s racist”. In reality, the party was more “classist” than “racist”. Most everyone dressed up as “white trash”, except for the black guys. I have never seen anyone wear blackface in real life that just seems so weird and time intensive.
Very weird, unless you’re Al Jolson.
Or a comedian, because honestly then it’s funny
It’s a good thing Dan Aykroyd hasn’t tried to transition into politics, his flappy headed birthplace may be a factor in that as well.
And still racist, to be sure.
There goes my political career.
There may or may not be pictures of me with face paint on as a young snuffy. And some of those may be in B&W. Close enough to blackface for government work.
When I was young I dressed up as Walter Peyton for Halloween, but I just wore his football number with the pads and everything. At no point did my parents ever say “hey, let’s color his whole face black to finish the effect”. It sounds horrible having to wait all that time for someone to color your face.
Also, in case anyone was wondering, Peyton’s adult daughter is unbelievably hot. I once played soccer against his son in high school, too.

I have a pic of a young me covered in orange “war paint”. War paint was some sticks of some sort of colored grease that you could draw on your face with. I remember it coming in a box with a picture of Indians on the outside all painted up for the war path. For some reason orange was always the last color left.
I’m guessing orange face is even more reprehensible than black face.
Sure. It’s just like wearing a MAGA hat, you trumpnazi!
I’ve never had my face painted but I have painted a few faces in my day iykwimaityd
You just don’t understand what socialism really is, maaaaaaan!
No ROAAAAAADZ?
So one irrelevant institution that’s home to bums, and the other warehouses books. Yeah, that’s worth giving up pantries full of groceries.
The post office warehouses books?
Marxists are constantly complaining that people just don’t understand them. Their messaging just isn’t good enough. They never seem to get it that people know what they are just fine, and reject them.
One forces you to pay whether you use it or not and the other loses money as a monopoly. Sounds about right.
I mean the library and the post office is socialism
Two outmoded institutions that are out competed on a daily basis by private enterprise? Try harder, dolt!
so many of the things that we have in our country that we all value is very much based on those values of equality
Equality is a shit value beyond equality under the law. Equality of opportunity sucks. Equality of outcome is horrifying.
Why would you put that here?
Some of my brain cells just committed seppuku after seeing that.

He asked on a The Hat and The Hair thread…
It’s a fair cop.
Isn’t it obvious? I hate all of you.
She isn’t a Somali, I guess?

So like for 3 days?
for me I think a lot of people don’t understand it [socialism].
Nice, Trump got them to retreat back to the Motte. “Public Services are socialisim, does he not want those?”. Of course the correct answer is, Hmm looks like the private sector still provides them better.
