We will buy American and hire American, because our president commands us to do so.

Do you want to be a loser or do you want to be a winner?

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

Elizabeth Warren is a vapid twit.

[Anomalous]

"twit"?

Learn to spell.

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

Freedom of association only extends to who you want to bake a cake for, not who you want to hire.

[WakaWaka]

Except it doesn't

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

We will buy American and hire American, because our president commands us to do so.

Yes sir, Mr. President.

[Juice]

Just wait until Erdogan calls to congratulate Trump. Then you'll buy American and like it.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Will Jon Ossoff capture Tom Price's old House seat?

Like he's captured the hearts of Hollywood?

[Anomalous]

Does he have a brother named Jack?

[Scarecrow Repair & Chippering]

These euphemisms!

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Report: Ruper Murdoch's sons want Bill O'Reilly off the air.

Finally someone with the balls to go after Bill O'Reilly.

[Homple]

Finally someone so rich they can afford to get rid of the top earner at one of their most profitable businesses.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Alex Jones on trial (literally).

Was Alex Jones previously on trial (figuratively)?

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

By a jury of twelve gay frogs.

[Fist of Etiquette]

A Sillicon Valley firm lets its employees take time off work to go protest Trump.

"Yeah, um, I need to go protest Trump over at, um, AT&T Park this afternoon."

Dressing the Part: Melania Trump at the White House Easter Egg Roll

A spun-sugar pink midcalf sleeveless layered organza confection by Herv? Pierre, the designer who created Mrs. Trump's inaugural ball gown, it was made according to her instructions, Mr. Pierre said. And though it looked as classic as an Easter dress could be, it was actually something of a break with tradition, at least from recent administrations.

In what way? You might ask. It looked like a throwback to the days of "Easter Parade." Well, yes. In exactly that way.

[$park? leftist poser]

I dunno, but it looks to me like she's wearing a pink dress.

[Meh.]

"It's about aspirational role-play of a highly telegenic kind." So the implication is she's trying too hard... for wearing a dress? It's just such a 180 from the endless fawning over (not to mention Vogue spread!) of recent administrations.

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

I am trying to stay in the italics-free portion of the thread. OT question:

Do you consider failing to do a courtesy flush in an office building stall initiation of aggression?

[Scarecrow Repair & Chippering]

Aggression against water conservation if you do flush.

[Juice]

organza confection

Someone's been watching Ru Paul's Drag Race.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

This happened.

There's a few dank memes in this twitter thread.

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

Why is Warren getting her picture taken with the I Just Cleaned That Bathroom Girl?

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

Also known as the I Told You To Take That Shirt Off So I Can Sew That Button On Girl.

[Number 2]

Yeah sure. Fearless Girl can stand up to a mere Wall Street bull. But just wait until she goes to college and is confronted by Milo Whatshisname and -- horrors -- speakers who deny the existence of Rape Culture! Watch how fast she demands a Safe Space!

Apparently squirrels eat flowers.

[Fist of Etiquette]

And crap out endless italics.

[$park? leftist poser]

Squirrelgeddon!

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

Godamnit, Sparky. Are you a Gilmore sockpuppet?

[Fist of Etiquette]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Brandybuck]

My name is Indigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.

[Fist of Etiquette]

This happened.

Teach little squaw use every part of buffalo.

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

The Lakota used buffalo anuses as shirt buttons.

[Juice]

Not button holes?

4th dimensional chess is not for the faint of heart.

[Chipper Mourning Will Grigg]

This meme is starting to annoy me. 4D chess would be actually pretty boring, because there would be too many degrees of freedom.

[Meh.]

The first reply to Elizabeth Warren's tweet was great, "Fight against what? Bull markets? .... Are girls supposed to hate prosperity?" I understand the concept of the little girl statue, but the actual execution needs work.

[Domestic Dissident]

Will Jon Ossoff capture Tom Price's old House seat?

No. Not even if you mailed in a fraudulent absentee ballot and spend the next several hours praying to your Obamessiah.

[Conchfritters]

"Attorneys for Alex Jones' ex-wife presented a series of InfoWars videos to an Austin court on Tuesday, highlighting some of Jones' shirtless or slurred rants and claiming he's unfit to retain custody of the couple's children."

Oh, and she is going to protect the children from the Bildenbergs, aliens, and Satanists??? Good luck finding another performance artist who will save the free world sweetheart.

Review: 'Fargo' Sees Double in a Setting That's Now Familiar

There are worse things to be than prestige-TV comfort food, a Minnesota hotdish prepared in a four-star kitchen.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Ruper Murdoch's sons want Bill O'Reilly off the air.

Ruper's daughters-in-law must have gotten too close to Papa Bear.

(And we have to deal with effed up tags on top of everything else.)

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

It's a clear sign of respect.

Hillary Clinton apologized to Obama on election night

"Mr. President, I'm sorry," she said, according to the Washington Post's review of the book, due out Tuesday.

The White House urged Clinton to concede as Trump claimed battleground states ? some by slim margins ? because Obama wanted to avoid a messy recount.

[Not a True MJG]

This happened.

In case it wasn't clear before, Robby doesn't believe in trigger warnings.

High school sophomore broke into school computers and 'offered to change grades for a fee'

According to Spring Branch Independent School District, a stolen password was used to access the system and adjust the grades with the student even offering to change the grades for his classmates for a fee.

Despite the temptation, only one student ended taking up the offer

Oh yeah.

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

The best cover of that song.

[Brandybuck]

"A Sillicon Valley firm lets its employees take time off work to go protest Trump."

That's pretty much every Silicon Valley firm. Even if not declared explicitly, flex time means you can take a day off for any reason and no one cares. I have a friend you regularly takes time off to drive fifty miles to pick up his daughter to drive her five miles to her anti-Trust protest. Seriously.

What in the world? 'Carmen Sandiego' Animated Series Greenlit at Netflix, Gina Rodriguez to Star

The series will be based on the iconic educational computer game franchise that followed Sandiego as she travelled across the world stealing national treasures. It will offer an intimate look into the character's past where viewers will not only follow her escapades but also learn who in the world is Carmen Sandiego and why she became a super thief. The series is produced by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for Netflix and will premiere in 2019.

Netflix has too much money.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

why she became a super thief

No doubt to fight the capitalist fascist corporations controlling the world.

[Stormy Dragon]

She was abandoned by her ex, Waldo, and she's going to stick it to the patriarchy while searching there world to find out where he is.

[mad.casual]

Their union is statistically impossible. The mere presence Carmen Sandiego and Waldo in the same room at the same time would be worse than going back in time and murdering Hitler.

[Stormy Dragon]

I googled Carmen/Waldo slash fiction once, but I couldn't find any.

[mad.casual]

Netflix has too much money.

Just wait until the end of the series and Carmen begins her transition into Waldo.

Lady Gaga talks to Prince William about PTSD and mental illness

After sipping a cup of coffee, Lady Gaga, 31, praised the "beautiful stories" told in the films and talked about her own struggle living with post traumatic stress disorder.
"I should be so happy, but you can't help it when in the morning you wake up, you are so tired, you are so sad, you are so full of anxiety and the shakes that you can't barely think," she told 34-year-old Prince William.

[Paloma]

Shit, I wish I did.

[Conchfritters]

I always wondered how to type in italics on this message board. Good to see that problem has been rectified.

[Scarecrow Repair & Chippering]

I wonder if it can be fixed with a close tag. I doubt it.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

If everything is in italics, nothing is in italics.

[MikeP]

"A Sillicon Valley firm lets its employees take time off work to go protest Trump."

If these companies really wanted to do something, they'd just hire whomever they wished from wherever they wished and ignore the I-9's.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

A Sillicon Valley firm lets its employees take time off work to go protest Trump.

This is news? Really?

Jesus, Seattle Schools let students out to agitate for higher teacher salaries. Now that's news.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Ok, who upthread fucked up the italics?

[Brandybuck]

It appears that "$park? leftist poser" was violently attacked by squirrels.

"We will buy American and hire American, because our president commands us to do so."

The economic theory behind that notion was perfectly explained by Fox News' wonder boy Tucker Carlson, during the morning show Fox & Friends, when Tucker said that companies are using H1B visas to pay less for labor just to make more money.

Yes. Companies want to pay less for things to make more money. I guess Carlson and Trumpistas want companies not to make money...

[Praveen R.]

How come Trump companies do not follow his advice?
