…Democrats are threatening to mount a filibuster against him and Republicans are threatening to go “nuclear” and eliminate the filibuster for all SCOTUS nominees.
If only someone had filibustered Hitler. Think about it.
“The Ole Philly Fluster! Damn near killed ’em!”
Hello.
Late. Not even fashionably.
JUST BE GLAD I COME HERE AT ALL.
/throws rat mink over shoulder.
Now with Vitamin R!
Rat mink……. oh…..
The Trump administration is reportedly reaching out to members of the House Freedom Caucus in an attempt to modify and revive the failed Obamacare replacement bill.
I love this administration!
A suspected chemical gas attack in Syria has killed dozens.
Where’s the red line on this one? Anyone know?
The Red Line goes to Chelsea station. Everybody knows that.

Replace With Repeal!
They coulda been negotiating with the individual mandate already repealed! They’re playing right into Elizabeth Warren’s bony hands!
Authorities in Russia now say that yesterday’s bombing on the St. Petersburg subway was “possibly a suicide attack.”
The guy who ordered it just might not know it yet.
A suspected chemical gas attack in Syria has killed dozens.
So no more Yo Mama jokes?
Yo mama got so badly gassed in Syria, she coughed up a lung and the president made threats he couldn’t back up.
Yo mama got so badly shredded by molten shrapnel, she has to defecate into a bag and the president just kept shouting “Jai Nah.”
Yo mama got barrel-bombed so hard that ISIS had to spend six weeks looking for her head in order to cut it off.
Yo mama got her entire culture sledgehammered into particulates so bad that she asked her son to move to Europe for subsidized living arrangements.
Yo mama ordered the deaths of thousands of civilians in Aleppo. Thousands!
Where?
What is a leppo?
Yo mama is such a ho, the imam ordered her corpse set on fire so horny men would stop fucking it.
Yo mama’s so fat that when she was taken hostage the media reported that ISIS had kidnapped an entire village.
Yo mama is so fat, when ISIS beheaded her muhalbiyah poured out of her neck.
Yo mama so old, ISIS soldiers use her flayed skin for shoe strings.
Yo mama so haram, when you were born, the imam slapped yo daddy.
“Two years before joining the Trump campaign as a foreign policy adviser, New York business consultant Carter Page was targeted for recruitment as an intelligence source by Russian spies promising favors for business opportunities in Russia, according to a sealed FBI complaint.”
AKA: The Moneypot.
“Russian spies promising favors for business opportunities in Russia”. So, undercover FBI agents-provocateur?
Business opportunities? In Russia? Send the red headed spy hottie instead.

Eleven-nine: Never remember.
Polite applause
Well done sirrah!
Come on, you guys, Eugene and i can’t carry this whole thing ourselves. Or can we?
I believe in us. Especially because we are so funny and cool and hip and neat.
You are the change you’ve been waiting for.
They are a buck forty-nine?
Can we talk about porn websites now offering free encryption of their “Customers'” data now that Trump signed the privacy protection rollback?
Something something forcing competition down their throats….
Didn’t Reason have a post on this? It’s of specific interest to their readership. Ideologically speaking, of course.
Bill O’Reilly is in trouble again for chasing skirts. I have no idea whether or not anything there is true, but as I was watching them tell the story on the Today show I kept thinking “Why is it that Mike Pence is an asshole for not meeting with women alone?”
YOU’RE A MISOGYNIST.
Race Bannon causes the left to realize their latent angst against principled moralizing religious goons from a previous era.
“We don’t like Good Old Boys!”
O’Reilly doesn’t drink, so he must get his jollies by being a lecherous creep.
Never trusted a man who doesn’t drink.
Don’t drink, don’t smoke
What do you do?
Goody-two, goody-two, goody goody-two-shoes

It’s almost like there’s a middle ground where you would eat with a woman alone and not sexually harass her.
Almost.
It’s almost like it’s better to not even run the risk. Almost.
I guess that’s also why it’s better for women not to run the risk of ever speaking to a man and getting raped.
Kinda like…you think rape culture is real.
Weird.
I guess that’s also why women shouldn’t go anywhere without being escorted by a male relative.
Kinda like…you think women have no agency.
Weird.
Except I’m not actually the one advocating this. You are.
Yes, clearly I’m advocating that a man never be alone with a woman ever again. Clearly.
Step 1: Believe all women
Step 2: Require all men in positions of power to spend time alone and with alcohol alone with women who desire such things.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit
The Navy is creating super-er soldiers.
There are going to be so many sequels starring Dolph Lundgren.
“On budget and ahead of the scheduled bioethics conference in Geneva.”
Develop and demonstrate technologies that offer “cognitive enhancement” capabilities to boost his elite forces’ mental and physical performance.
Wonder why they’re giving up on LSD so soon.
Should probably be creating super sailors.
That hideous terrorist behind the Pink Pussies with the face that could terrify a Gorgon is getting deported to Jordan.
Good riddance you cunt, and let don’t the door hit ya where Allah split ya.
Oh, CGB.
Deported? You mean government sponsored vacation to a Culturally Enriched Environment.
Can she please take Angela Davis, Debra Messing, and Sarah Silverman with her?
Can’t disagree with you there.
Nice bunch.
Soooo…. If you sell bad smack to someone, you get murder charges. If you shoot someone up with bad smack, you get deported. OK.
Meant for woke Canadian hooker below.

It’s called negotiations. Getting legislation passed is all about negotiating the log-rolling and tit-for-tatting, the back-scratching and arm-twisting, the pocket-lining and the palm-greasing. All the public rhetoric about final offer and take-it-or-leave-it and deals too good to pass up and you couldn’t pay me enough to take that piece of junk off your hands and you better buy it right now before I sell it to somebody else is all bullshit designed to get some leverage in the negotiations.
It’s just that most of the negotiators are venal and looking to make the best deal they can and assume everybody else is too, but there’s a few of them that have principles and aren’t willing to make a deal just for the sake of making a deal. If you’re going to call somebody’s bluff, you’d first better know that they’re bluffing. Mr. Trump doesn’t seem to know the first rule of poker – if you look around the table and can’t tell who the patsy is, you’re the patsy.
“Getting legislation passed is all about negotiating the log-rolling and tit-for-tatting, the back-scratching and arm-twisting, the pocket-lining and the palm-greasing.”
Or you could just send a bunch of tweets.
Trump’s ICE is a monster.
She grew up in a wealthy, upper-class family but rejected her privileged upbringing.
Tichelman became addicted to heroin and turned to high-class prostitution to support herself.
Isn’t that always the way?
She should have Googled the President’s immigration policy; Bing is just not going to give her the best spread on her chances.
Her ex-boyfriend, 53-year-old monkey trainer
Hot!
She is kinda perfect.
“Giving the Google exec a fatal overdose of heroin” is the masturbation euphemism to beat this week, folks.
Phrasing!
I know what i’m doing.
Meta-bation!
So now I get Taboola autoplaying video ads on my phone here.
Reason, what has made you embrace evil?
