ON TIME FOR HARAMBE
#ducksoutforHarabe
/The Dyslexic Memer
Hello.
Kneels down for Harambe.
Ew.
What is the supposed joke in *dicks out for Harambe* ?
I'll admit: this Harambe thing is finally making me laugh.
It's not meant to be a joke, Hitler.
I know. That asshole is worse than a 9/11 dancing Palestinian.
RIP HARAMBE!
Bush did 5/28.
Housing top concern for Vancouver's new city planner
Mever mind the planning of a market, fatal conceits and all that... what sort of track record does this Top. Man. bring to the job, past experience, ...
Oh.
Get ready for more tent cities, Vancouver.
"why do these assholes keep building real estate for sale, not rent?"
"ask them?"
"NO! We need more rental housing regulation!"
Build dormitories for the government-sector workers and require them by contract to live there. This will free up regular housing for the productive sector.
Even better - you could build the dorms underneath the multilevel car park garages. Free up a ton of space that way and all those government employees wouldn't need a car themselves as they'd be assigned a rack in the dorm nearest their place of work.
Hmm... Vault-Tec was a public-private partnership, wasn't it?
+1 Idiot Savant
Half right
Well, if you can't trust a former San Francisco city planner to solve a crisis of housing affordability, who can you trust?
Easiest way to make sure that people of all incomes can afford to live there is to turn it into a hell hole where no one with even an average income would ever choose to live in.
That is what worked for Detroit
It working for San Fransisco also.
My understanding is that SF is turning into a hellhole full of people swimming in money who keep up their houses and don't piss in the street. Which is tragic, I'm told.
As someone who regularly visits family and friends there, ^^THIS>
The population of the city nowadays is pretty much comprised of:
1. Tech gazillionaires who want a second place in the city, for when they get bored of their houses in Los Gatos/Saratoga.
2. Ex-hippies who bought property in the 1970s.
3. Older people with rent-controlled apartments, who are never moving.
4. 20-somethings with trust funds.
5. Programmers trying to blend into the tech scene, who are willing to pay $1500/month to share a 1BR apartment with four other people.
6. The homeless.
Its my understanding that San Francisco is turning into a town of super-rich techies and bums sleeping in late in city-provided tents while people bring them their lunch and everyone in between is leaving.

"I now know what not to do. Now I know there's no room for half-measures."
"Kelley, who was formerly the director of city-wide planning for San Francisco, said his work in that city ? which faces many similar problems as Vancouver when it comes to housing affordability ? could inform his work"
Anyone who has worked in SF 'city planning dept' and includes that in his/her resume needs professional care.
Government robots can't believe that a private developer investing his/her/xir own money building housing with expectations of profit could possibly make it happen without their benevolent guidance*.

Pricks leave out Harambe!
8 seconds late. God dammit Robby.
It's a good thing Fist has a semi-automatic return key.
It's activated by the turbo button of a modified NES Advantage.
I would've guessed a Power Glove, but alright.
Just one-in-five millennials has tried a Big Mac.
200,000s and 200,000s served.
I've eaten at McDonald's plenty of time in my life but I have never had a Big Mac either. Nugs + Buffalo sauce is always a good idea after a night of drinking.
Filet-o-Fish for me. (My father is allergic to seafood, so I never got to have fish growing up.)
You probably still aren't having it.
Euphemism?
Just calling attention to the ingredients of the filet o fish.
I rarely go to McDonald's so no, I'm not having a Filet-o-Fish.
But I do tend to order the fish when I go out to eat.
Double Cheeseburger. Add bacon. Sweet and sour for the fries.
LOL now that's some stoner food, there. I always dip my fries in the BBQ sauce.
McDonald's briefly had a jalapeno quarter pounder that was pretty good but my insides always hurt afterwards.
Yeah, I vaguely remember the jalape?o double cheeseburger.
White cheese, no ketchup, and some crunchy fried shit that I couldn't identify.
Remember when McDonald's had pizza?
Yeah. Still do in a few select places.
And there's a McDonalds in the central valley that has McRibs year round. It must be next to the hog rendering plant or something.
I only eat Mickey D's once a year when they break out the McRibs.
uuuummm.
reconstituted pork pieces seasoned just right
"after a night of drinking."
Drive-thru sliders on the way home here
"Drive-thru".
Yeah, never give in to the societal pressure against drinking and driving. If it's wrong, why do bars even have parking lots?
Someone else could be driving.
I used to drive drunk a lot. Because it's fun, and I had places to go. But now I'm getting old and boring. And know too many people who have had DUI convictions.
You mean you don't want some of those cool party plates for your car? I thought that was half the reason people did it.
We had a car full of drunks at the drive-thru with a sober driver and rotated who got to be the sober one each time we went out. Sorry if my short post triggered anyone
The societal pressure against drinking and driving has helped gut the 4th and 5th amendments and legitimized police checkpoints.
In CA in the 80s we still had drive-through liquor stores.
It wasn't that long ago that Louisiana permitted open bottle while driving.
Virginia actually still allows drinking in the car, by everyone who isn't to the driver.
still do in Colorado
In Arizona we still do.
I haven't seen any drive-through gun stores around here though.
How many here have access to Whataburger ?
that is alcohol absorption deluxe
I never had one until a few years ago. My buddy was shocked, but I was always satisfied with the regular burgers and nuggets.
That said, it is pretty good.
You ever seen the McDonald's mascot? *shudders*
Just one-in-five millennials has tried a Big Mac.
They'll likely be serving them, though.
At least until the minimum wage goes up again, at which point they'll be replaced by robots.
A better joke would have been to say that it is because they are not allowed to eat while working.
SAYS YOU
Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a stripper's ass.

A Fort Myers doctor says if you are a man thinking about voting for Hillary Clinton, you may need to have your testosterone checked.
Well, did you see the flash mob for Hillary?
He's not wrong.
Hillary Flash Mob.
If you want to lose some weight, this video is even better than sticking your finger down your throat.
I can't possibly be a better emetic than the Run Liz Run video.
As far as I'm concerned SMOD needs to get here as soon as he can. Save us SMOD, save us from our multicoloured rhythmic sins!
You're the time traveler. Tell us! Does SMOD free us from this mortal coil?
60% of the population was supposed to die to a limited nuclear exchange by now, so hell if I know. Many worlds interpretation is a bitch like that.
Truth.
I forgot about "flash mobs" entirely.
If it wasn't a Hillary thing, it wouldn't be the worst thing I've ever seen. I hope that the better dancers were paid. It pains me to imagine people with that much raw enthusiasm for that evil, dreary twat.
If they were paid, wouldn't that make it not a flash mob? I smell astroturf.
You mean maybe all those people walking past the camera didn't just happen to all show up at just the right time?
And where are you going to find a bunch of dancers desperate for a paycheck in New York city? That's just crazy.
It does smack of Hillary's "this is what the kids are doing these days, right?"
Is anything pro-Hillary not being paid for?
If you're doing anything pro-Hillary for free, you're a sap.
I'd wager it was pure astroturf.
Those men are so gay they sneeze glitter.
"...over 200 pantsuit wearing Hillary supporters gathered together to perform a dance founded in unity, love, and inclusivity."
Anyone still think the pantsuit isnt a signal?
As for the unity, love, inclusivity I am reminded of a Bezmenov quote - "When they see the reality of their world of equality and social justice they won't like it very much."
What a bunch of idiots.
Signal of what? I'd say it's a signal of being a moron in this case.
It's a sure bet that this was organized by the Hillary campaign in order to show how exited* millennials are about Hillary. No way this wasn't staged propaganda.
* disclaimer: they are not.
exited = excited
I'm exited about Hillary. Not a typo.
in typo veritas
Who financed that?
Its called a flash crowd.
Its like they dont teach literature in school these days.

Trump thinks the Central Park 5 were guilty.
PROVE THEY WEREN'T.
Clearly evidence that Trump is worse than Hitler. Literally. Or is he literally Hitler? I cant keep it straight.
He is literally Hitler. But worse.
Florida Man hurricane parties.
How many of you Florida commenters did this? Be honest.
I didn't, but I live on the other coast, so we never got any real effects of the storm anyway. University still closed yesterday and today. Our administration is the biggest bunch of pants wetters around. I swear, if they heard a test tube break in the chemistry lab they would think we have an active shooter.
I live just south of Tampa so this storm is a real nothing burger for us. My last hurricane party was during Charley so I'm kind of out of practice.
I probably would if for some odd reason I found myself living in Florida.
If Vanilla Ice is doing it, how dumb could it be?
Naa Tampa got nothing so I partied at home by myself with a 6 pack, besides some of us had to work today.
Founder of gay escort website Rentboy.com pleads guilty to promoting prostitution, faces up to five years in prison
As a wise man once said, "Pimpin ain't easy, but somebody gotta do it."
Oooh, I know what his sentence and fine will be.
All this over a completely consensual "crime".
Hurant agreed not to appeal the sentence if Federal Judge Margo Brodie gives him two years or less in prison and a fine of $10 million or less.
This strikes me as really repulsive.
It's like the whole "plead guilty to this charge or we'll throw the book at you on some other thing". It's just ugly.

Trump has opinions on things with which he has only a cursory level of knowledge.
The news item here is that he's not astute enough as a politician to know when to shut up and not answer the set-up question.
Harvard University students hoard cafeteria food to prepare for workers' strike.
The sons and daughters of the 0.1% are going to have to do without cafeteria food? Here's a Walking Dead scenario come to life.
I'll have a leg.
Harvard University students hoard cafeteria food to prepare for workers' strike.
They can't learn to cook for themselves?
Then again, they were probably never allowed to use knives.
The only time I ever ordered a Big Mac was during the 84 Olympics, when McD's gave them away for free like crazy.

I was bored at work today so playing around with FEC data. I haven't figured out how to export all the receipts and disbursements yet but I did find that this guy gave $50,000 to "Correct the Record" the political action committee run by David Brock.
It would be a fun game to track all the contributions made to pro-Hillary PACs and the DNC and then watch which ones get federal appointments. Or build a stock portfolio based on their employers and see how well you do vs. the average.

From one of the links, 800 were killed in Haiti. Think of how much worse it would be if the Clinton Foundation wasn't there to build safe, sturdy houses for those residents!

Even the BBC has noticed: How Sweden became an exporter of jihad
Hmm. I wonder if there's a connection.
Yeah, if they would just put in more regulations to require more AFFORDABLE HOUSING then we wouldn't have a problem.
Don't forget the zoning to prohibit new construction - that always works.
Well the new construction always wants "market rate" for their rents, which is unfair. If they would build affordable housing first we can build the more expensive units later, once the affordable housing is well supplied.
It's because right-wingers took over in the 90s! Fucking Swedish right-wingers. It's a wonder the oppressed proletariat hasn't risen yet.
My jihad nightstand was easy enough to assemble but the drawer never quite shut right.

Clown hysteria hits NPR
There's a kid telling people a clown grabbed him by the wrist and ran a knife down his arm in the clip.
Trigger warning: the piece is introduced with some severe NPR voice, the actual reporter sounds like a normal person though
+1 you're listening to npr - national public radio. support for this and other npr stations comes from: the john d. and catherine t. macarthur foundation.
The young boy'S imagination leads him to tell us that the clown grabbed one of his arms and slowly ran the knife down the other.
While he stood still and let the clown have his way with him I suppose ? Can organized child molestation anyone picture a young biy standing still while that happened ?
This is reminding me of the mass hysteria of the daycare scam is California that ruined some people's lives while a few others made their career over it.
alcohol makes me type funny
Ugh, npr voice... *shudder*
It's actually an interesting clip to listen too. It immediately brought to mind the satanic ritual abuse hysteria of the '80s, especially the credulous repeating of the kid's story.

So we used to have to watch videos about Satan infiltrating our lives through music because my parents are a bit crazy. I assert that to this day it's the reason I love the music of Hair! so much.
Masturbation, can be fun! Come on join the holy orgy, kama sutra, EVERYONEEEEEEEE!
I also found out that my mother ran for local school board in the wake of the McMartin thing on a "get satan out of the schools" platform.
...a "get satan out of the schools" platform.
Did it work?
No, she didn't get elected.
I found out about all of this because I found a Legend of Zelda instruction manual and demanded to know where the Nintendo and game were so that I might play them. Apparently she had used the book with its discussion of fairy magic and potions to make a case for children being indoctrinated with witchcraft.
20 years later she forwarded a chain email based on this telling everyone in my family not to read the Harry Potter books, so at least she kept fighting the good fight.
We had a lot of that in OC, California. I had several friends who were forbidden to play Dungeons & Dragons because demons.
Luckily my parents were reasonably rational. My mom threw a little fit when she found the Necronomicon in my room, but mostly because she thought it meant I was getting into drugs. Which I was, but the Necronomicon didn't have anything to with it - I just happened to be into Call of Cthulu.
I told her it was a joke and she got over it.
I also found out that my mother ran for local school board in the wake of the McMartin thing on a "get satan out of the schools" platform.
A friend of mine used to like to tell this story about his mother.
He was telling her something or other and in the process used the word "facilitate". She interrupted harshly, saying "Don't you use that word, young man!"
"What word?"
"'Facilitate'. That is a communist word."
"Communist word?"
"It is. I really do believe that, and I said so at the PTA meeting last week!"
"'Facilitate'. That is a communist word."
That's amazing.
I know, but if it gets the assholes off video games and onto clowns, I say, fuck you, you made-up freaks.
Yeah, that's when I finally stopped listening for good. I got the point of view and could deal with that, but one day on the way home from work the "NPR cadence" finally got to me. I turned off the radio and never went back I just couldn't take it anymore.
Twitter censorship: Twitter has suspended the account of leading alt-right figure and massive Trump supporter "Ricky Vaughn."
On October 3, 2016 Twitter deliberately "shadow banned" 32 of Trump's tweets, plus it deleted one other tweet.
Twitter briefly shadow banned Scott Adams the other day, as well.
Life just isn't worth living.
Give me leading alt-right figures or give me death.
What's a shadow ban?
Level 5 vegans only.
I think that's the level when you get telekinesis.
Generally it's when you post and on your end it looks like your post has gone through, but it doesn't get pushed out to other users.
Is there a Politifact-type site to call out media lies, misrepresentations, and other acts of bullshit?
Sort of like having sex for some people.

But Amelia Island is awesome. I hope it's okay after this.

Winston's mom shouldn't take advice on the Internet.
You guys keep talking about Winston's mom, but I don't think he was actually born. Instead he just congealed from the remains of the collective human psyche over the past several thousand years, the ultimate noospheric expression of nihilistic whinging.
"Winston's mom" is short-hand for the Tiamat-like primordial whinging-goo from which Winston emerged.
This?
Yes, but with a lot more eyes and mouths.
These days, that's top notch journalism.
Um, you shouldn't.
Not saying you should prance around butt naked or have sex in front of them but you also shouldn't make them seeing you naked a big deal. If they walk in and see you without clothes on just act completely normal like it isn't an issue
THEN HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LEARN THAT THEIR BODIES ARE SHAMEFUL RASILIO??
I believe it's completely normal in Finland for nuclear families (mother, father children; I don't know about adult children and in-laws) to take their sauna together with everyone naked.
Yes, this is the way it is in most normal societies, except for sexually repressed America, where people can't distinguish between nudity and sexuality.
This. There's a line between decorum and prudery. There's a huge difference between teaching your kids how to respect privacy and freaking out when your kid sees you naked.
I accidentally fell in with a group of naturist families out for a hike a few weeks back. Nobody gave a shit. Vaguely uncomfortable when a couple of the young teens heard me and one of the people I was with joking about Pokemon GO and decided to strike up a conversation.

The McGill Daily, the student newspaper of McGill University, wants a vigil for Harambe cancelled
Really Robby? We're making student newspaper articles international news now? Have you read a student newspaper? They're always filled with dumb shit like this. Hang on...
Catfights galor(ified): The media needs to stop pitting women against each other
"Brock Turner Is A Symptom Of Rape Culture: Controversial verdict reveals a deeper problem in our society"
1) As if they never pit men against each other.
2) Actually having the rule of law is not a deep problem. It's doing away with it because teh feelz that's the problem.
You didn't have to seriously respond to these articles, I'm just showing how easy it is to find retarded articles in student newspapers. Took me two minutes.
2) It DOES reveal a deeper problem. It's that laws aren't enforced equally. The 'elites' aren't subject to the laws in the same way that everyone else is. If they were, perhaps we wouldn't have so many stupid f***ing laws.
(I know I didn't have to seriously respond, but it's a pet peeve of mine)
The Disproportionate Stress Plaguing American Teachers
Boo fuckity hoo.
Three reasons (off the top of my head) that American teachers are stressed:
1) Most of the kids' parents have zero involvement in the education process
2) The teachers weren't taught any useful skills in getting their B.A. and their M.Ed.
3) When you cram 28 kids into a room and force them to listen to a teacher for 6 hours straight, they get bored and act out
Also, they compared them to doctors, who have to complete a little thing called residency.
There's also a union-strangled salary structure that chases people with skills and stamina out of the profession, leaving people who can only just barely function to tackle the job. They then expect that same job to be their life-long career, but don't understand why their wages just get COLAs every year.
4) You're no longer allowed to smack the little fucks when they need a smack and the little fucks know you're not allowed to smack them.
Hmm, sounds like schools need to split the teaching year. 4.5 months (with 1.5 months worth of days off and 'school vacation' time) and two sets of teachers to cover that grueling 9 month work period.
I've always been a Whopper/Whataburger guy myself; never tried a Big Mac. They just look flimsy and pathetic.
Yeah. A whopper or Wendy's for me.. I'm suspicious of the "special" sauce.
Isn't it just Thousand-Island?
Yes, a slightly modified version.
That's what makes it special.
Yes, the 5 year shelf life, and the caulking gun dispenser.
I had a nice Jalepeno Whataburger last night... that's what a burger is supposed to be. If I get something at McDonalds, it's the McDouble so that I can pay for it by scrounging through the ash tray.
Triple Whataburger plus jalape?os and bacno = heaven.
Is bacno some kind of vegan option?
Ugh, I'm ashamed of that heretical typo.
A #5 ( bacon Whataburger) no pickles extra onions extra mustard... to go.
If only they would deliver !
Aiy carumba !
Why would you ever go to McDonalds if you're within driving distance of a Whataburger?
(I've been having Texas withdrawals lately. Stuck here in Indianapolis)
The Whataburger is actually easier to get to than the McDonalds, and I've got an In-n-out the same distance in the opposite direction. The answer is that McDonalds is where I go when I have $5 and Whataburger is where I go when I have $10. In-N-Out is where I go when I want to feel like I made the healthy decision and don't plan on getting fries (their fries are disgusting).
Also, Indy doesn't really have good fast-food burgers. I was in culture shock when I moved down here to TX and tried Whataburger. Now my wife and I are getting as much Whataburger and Taco Bueno as possible before we move to VA in January.
I seriously can't think of a half-decent fast-food burger spot in Indy that isn't a national chain. 96th street burgers were good, but that's not fast food. Rallys was disgusting. White Castle is only good if your alternative is a razor blade enema. Steak-n-shake is meh, and it's not fast food. Five guys isn't fast food, and it's inferior to Whataburger, let alone some of the sit-down places around here (Country Burger comes to mind here in N. Dallas).
They are very sloppy.

I just had a Bob's Big Boy ( euphemism!) That was pretty damned good.
I haven't seen one of those in 25 years.
Wasn't there one on Hawthorne Blvd just before PCH a few years back? Now it's a Black Bear Diner.

Not that I know of. The closest one was Aviation and PCH, which later became that diner that all the sluts generous girls worked at.

Trump thinks the Central Park 5 were guilty.
He really seems to be trying to completely torpedo his campaign. At this point, I think it's safe to say a vote for Trump is a wasted vote/a vote for Hillary.
Oh fuck, oh fuck, why did it have to be her?
Err, I'm among the very oldest Gen X'ers and as far as I can recall I have never had a Big Mac.
I've eaten at McDonalds but I have never been a fan of their burgers to begin with and since they put onions which I hate on everything and have never been worth a damn at making custom orders I have only ever ordered chicken (usually nuggets but occasionally sandwiches) or breakfast items from the Golden Arches.
Perhaps this theory was already been punted around these parts but if not has any ever considered the possibility that the creepy clown epidemic is nothing more than an advertising gimmick for the release of the upcoming release of the remake of Stephen King's It?
It's too widespread for that - Facebook retards like to panic, and then troll, and then troll the ones who panic, and then schools get involved, because they're run by people who are automatons, and so on.
Oh, I'm not saying all of them are in on it, just maybe it started as such and a lot of people took the idea and ran with it. Idiots do abound, after all.
Maybe its a 'for reals this time' War of the Worlds panic.
*has, not was.
I started my my weekend early and have already had a few, piss off. 🙂
See? Even my correction made no fucking sense.
I like this bar.
*check that, it did.
I guess I REALLY like this bar. Ha!
Sitting at a bar giggling at your own internet comments? I'm jealous.
It was an easy, unusually profitable week, why not?
Now to attempt a pathetic pick up line on my newly single, bi-sexual bartender girl. Any suggestions?
" Do you have any raisins? Well, then how about a date?"
Damn son.
You and Eddie are by far my favorite YouTube response posters.
You better already have some decent history with her before you try anything. Bartenders are the aristocrats of the service industry and should be treated as such. They've seen it all and are difficult to impress.
Oh, I've known here for nearly 10 years. We made out once about 7 years ago in the back of a car but she bailed on me for some pussy that night.
She likes to tease....damn it.
*her
Extra sloppy at the moment, not in a good way.
"I'm a phenomenal rebound"
I bet you are, jesse. 😉
You know, sometimes I truly wish I was a gay man. I get the feeling I'd get laid a hell of a lot more often.
Not to disparage my own sex but, men are shameless sluts. Damn society for shaming women about their sexuality.
Oh, I was suggesting that as a pickup line. I'm at best an adequate rebound; I'm easy, but I'm easily spooked by the post-breakup neediness one associates with rebounds. That said, I've had more post-coital discussions about straight divorces than I care to count.
Ha!
"Nice, you finally dumped that loser,? "
Followed by date suggestion. It has already worked, on a bartender even.
Dicks out for Harambe!
Oh, you said bi-sexual, not transsexual.
Even King has gone on Twitter to say that the freak out over clowns is getting silly.
Inside every clown is a Gacy/Tim Curry waiting to murder the shit out of you. FEAR!!!!
Trump's Indian-American fan spreads the word back home
Attn: Shikha Dalmia
Please no.
She already did an article a few months back claiming that Trump was causing a surge in Indian nationalism. Quite a few of us pointed out that there might be other things happening on the sub-continent that were more likely causes than Trump.
God, if Trump ever meets Modi, she's gonna lose it.
And you just know those two would get along great, to boot.
The evidence cited for this .... is just tweets of other people making the same accusation.
Can anyone actually find the quote where Trump says ""the people exonerated of rape were guilty of rape""?
"They admitted they were guilty," Trump said this week in a statement to CNN's Miguel Marquez. "The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous. And the woman, so badly injured, will never be the same."
He doesn't use those exact words, but the message is pretty clear.
The thing Robby linked to doesn't even seem to bother to cite *that*. They seem to be freaking out that he asserted they were still guilty of other acts despite not gang-raping anybody.
"...And the woman, so badly injured, will never be the same."
I have been assured that Trump is a horrible woman hater, so he's gloating here, right? He is pro-rape, isnt he?
Ross, Rachael, Joey, Chandler, and Pheobe were guilty of milking that show for WAY too long.
This is how Communism wins
You joke, but I remember how huge a deal when McDonalds Belgrade opened in 1988, first time a (nominally) communist country got one. Sure made us feel like we're sooo much better than those poor Hungarians, Poles, Romanians* etc. And, of course, a chance to take a piss out of Croats, who didn't have one.
*or I should say, another reason why we did. Then the 90s came. Nemesis is a bitch.
". . . its fucking stupid and you people need to grow the hell up." No? Shame.
Is "Old Man Yells at Cloud" really a better headline than "Young Person Screams Racist"?
McGill is so insane they make Oberlin look normal.
Good news is the comments over there are having none of it.
Actually McGill is fairly normal, if you count "filled with weird anti-social aspies" normal.
They've never been a social justice campus, really it's just the fact that student newspapers attract this idiocy.
The paper has been and continues to be terrible.
Most students don't care, which makes the $6/semester mandatory fee all the more gaulling, as John would say. It's a non-opt-outable fee. For now. Which I would go after if I had the time and money to reenroll as an undergrad. I already told the alumni relations people that I ain't donating shit to the general fund as long as there's any chance my money pays for this or any other execrable student orgs.
US Tries Tougher Talky-Talk = Accuses Syria and Russia of "War Crimes"
*not sure how they characterize their own "accidental" bombing of syrian troops the other day.... also not sure whether UN has ever actually provided any cover to unilateral US action in Syria itself...
"Oops, we've been accidentally bombing a country we're not at war with and killing civilians for the last two years, our bad."
-Serious American State Department discussion on war crimes.
Shortly after Soros does the same? Hmmm....

Deplorable.

If only these students put that much time, effort and energy into learning.
More Outrageous Statements By Trump Unearthed
Moar
I am running this by Lil Jon for a judgement
I, for one, am shocked and appalled.
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there.
Trump really doesn't understand how similes work.
Honestly I don't think we have ever seen the real Trump. I remember when he would play the brash playboy. He's moved on to a different act now. Mr. Toughguy Tellitlikeitis.
Hey, wasn't JFK considered a glamorous hero for being a lady's man?
As a somewhat conservative libertarian, I have thought The Donald was a boorish vulgarian whose only real talent was self-promotion since the 1980s.
I've never been a liberal in the American sense, but didn't American liberals all say that it is only proper to separate the personal life from the public life of politicians like Bill Clinton? Don't they all say that politicians should be exempt from criticism regarding rape, groping, adultery, gross sexual harassment, and lying under oath about such matters?
Uh, the Central Park 5 were guilty. Or at least, there is no particular reason to believe they weren't. They confessed at the time. The confessions were tested in two trials. Having Number 6 vouching for them proves nothing.
Case closed!
How much damage could a President Trump do? We can only begin to imagine
Well no one can accuse you of not trying.
Cannot be imagined. Wow. That's really something.
I have it on good authority that he will turn the GOP into a rightwing worker's paradise.
The same could be said of Hillary.
You could replace 'Trump' Here with 'FD Roosevelt' and not have to change a word.
Volunteer football coach dismissed for making boy run laps after he bullied teammate
Obviously the solution was to force the students to hug. And keep hugging until they purged themselves of vile masculinity.
I'm confused, what about what the coach did was wrong?
Only Top People are allowed to allocate punishments. Coaches and the like should have escalated the boy's behavior to the proper authorities.

Ben & Jerry's declare support for Black Lives Matter, calls for ice cream boycott ensue
If you're against the Black Lives Matter movement, you literally don't believe black lives matter.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for racial justice.
I will grant a prize to whomever can come up with the best BLM-Themed B&J Ice Cream Flavor.
Justice for Michael Brown-ie Bits
(contemplates)
I'm going to need a few more submissions.
They could always just take a gay-pride themed ice-cream and slap the BLM label on that.
Aw fuck, they already picked one of their own = "Empower-Mint" (boooooooooooooooooo) I predict fail = black people don't actually like mint-flavored shit. Or maybe that was what the marketers *realized*? (blm is really just about helping white people feel guilt-free)
*aside from Menthol smokes, obviously

Ben and Jerry also published their own argument about why Systemic Racism is Real
...which seems to amount to, "Because we're not a socialist society"
Well, both organizations are Marxist - sounds like a perfect match.

Rufus, I'll be there next weekend if you want to lose in a poutine eating contest.
I was stationed in the Azores for two years. Among our group the thing that we all desired the most from "The World" was a Big Mac. When we got back to the States we finally got our Big Mac. Halfway through the sandwich Mrs. Hobbit and I looked at each other and said, "We waited for this?" Haven't had one since (this was 1975).
NM is the home of the Green Chile Cheeseburger. They have frequent contests and the winner is always the customers! Lota Burger with cheese and green chile= heaven!

I was born at Lajes in 1970 and we left in 79. Some time around 77 or 78 MAC started flying in everything necessary to make big macs and everyone would wait in line at the dining hal to buy and eat whatever they could afford. We looked forward to this every year fora taste of home.
My brother and I vacationed there for 2 weeks a few years ago. The alcatra and food in general got old pretty damn quick, but we had a blast reliving our yout
