"Did UFOs cause Marilyn Monroe's death?"

Is that a probe in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?

Happy Birthday to your leader!

Some Democrats are upset Bernie Sanders won't rule out running for president in 2020.

Angry Old Economically Illiterate White Dude hasn't proved to NOT be a winner lately...

Jesus Christ, does that mean Hillary is going to try again?

You think mere mortals could stop Her, if the stars come right?

If you wake up in the middle of the night on a moonless night, and hear footsteps across the sky from Aldebaran to Regulus, accompanied by a sound like the scratching of a bettle's claws on bone, then she will run again.

Try again? You mean #WinAgain. Electoral college can suck it.

NO, it means the DNC has tapped the wookie as the candidate.

Paul Ryan says James Comey is not a nut job.

So suddenly the speaker is a psychiatrist? Let's just leave the diagnoses to the president, shall we?

[AlmightyJB]

Well he works in Congress so he knows a ton of nut jobs.

What is the point of these books? I assume it's going to be John and Dani standing on top of a huge pile of corpses, presumably using the dragons to push back the walkers, but so what? At the end, we are back to rule by the Targaryens - the family that gave Westeros the Mad King. So the whole thing just replays itself again in 100 years when their Mad King Incest Product Great Grandson decides to go Kim Jong Un on Westeros?

[Bgoptmst]

If the jerk would finish his books we could find out.

[Citizen X - #6]

According to Martin, the main point of the books is that the game of trying to obtain or hold onto power is ultimately hella shitty for almost everyone involved - and a recurring subtext that never quite breaks fully into the consciousness of the (nobly-born) main characters is that this goes even more so for the pawns than for the players.

No class douchebag mofo former president goes to Europe at the same as the current president and proceeds to act as if he's still the president.

Hasn't anyone told this rude shithead yet that he had his eight years and they're up?

So you think that an invitation which was accepted before the election was somehow designed to coincide with a trip Trump announced after he was President?

I don't like Obama's post-presidency grandstanding either, but I see no reason to imagine a conspiracy where one does not seem possible.

The father and the brother of the Manchester bomber have been reportedly arrested in Libya, to which they returned from the U.K. after the Western-backed ouster of Col. Qaddafi.

Thanks a whole lot for making Libya safe for the jihadis Obama! Awesome decision there buddy, especially after you already saw how Iraq turned out. Well done, great job.

The blood of a bunch of poor dead tweenage British girls is directly on your hands.

Oh, Simple Mikey. Simple, Hysterical, Crazy Mikey.

Face it pal, your messiah turned Libya into a safe haven and training ground for ISIS, and the jihadis wasted no time at all in taking advantage of their gift.

I'm not your pal, and when have i ever praised Barack Obama? Pointing out that he was actually the president that time you insisted he wasn't doesn't count as "praise."

"ISIS has claimed responsibility for an assault by militants on Marawi City" Links to Marilyn Monroe article

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

Fox News employees mocked black co-worker's hair and speech, laughed about Mexicans and targeted me for being Canadian, claims cameraman in latest allegation to hit channel

For example, Respondent Cespedes repeatedly showed Complainant a movie clip on his phone in which a character says, "Nothing important ever happens in Canada," or words to that effect,' the suit reads, referencing a put down from Anchorman 2.

'Respondent Lovell would often make sarcastic remarks to Complainant about Canada and repeatedly asked Complainant, "Why are you here?" or words to that effect.'

If you don't want to be mocked for being a Canadian, don't be a Canadian, hoser.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Fake news. There are no black Canadians. Only black-souled Canadians.

[Meh.]

It actually looks like he is white (confirming your point), but his last name literally is Black. The co-worker allegedly mocked for actually being black was African-American. They definitely could have written that title in a more concise, less confusing way.

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

And I'd kill for that hair

[Meh.]

Well, that makes two of us!

[mad.casual]

If a poll of Americans were taken and the question was posed "A person of what nationality is least likely to experience national origin harassment and discrimination in the American Workplace?" the answer would probably be Canadian. How Fox's lawyers responded

Response, attribution... LOL.

[mad.casual]

Half of me wants to laugh. The other half expects Shikha Dalmia article explaining how the CRA establishes a Right to be Canadian that supersedes the rest of The Constitution.

The Seth Rich Conspiracy Theory Is Shameful Nonsense

Multiple agencies involving hundreds of separate government actors are working together, you see, to deceive the American people, advance false narratives, and bring down a president. It's the world's greatest con, and Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, and Geraldo Rivera are the only ones brave enough to ask the right questions. They're the only ones bold enough to confront the fake-news media, to do the hard work of investigative journalism, and bring the dark truth to the nation.

When you've lost David French...

[Domestic Dissident]

By the way, I'm still waiting for one of our many media lefties to name one other murder besides Seth Rich where the official media position was that nobody is allowed to talk about it because it makes the victim's parents upset.

Former PCC teacher sentenced to prison after hidden bathroom camera guilty plea

Sheriff's detectives say they learned that Constantino hid a camera under a sink in a gender neutral bathroom. The camera was pointed at the toilet area and allowed detectives to identify multiple victims who had been filmed without their knowledge, according to deputies.

I bet it did.

I may have missed this being posted - Who knew free speech would turn out to be such a bad idea?

"Williams also spoke at a commencement speech at the University of Nebraska, commenting on Silicon Valley's arrogance at times, stating that the industry can think of themselves as, 'a Prometheus, stealing fire from selfish gatekeeper gods and bestowing it on mere mortals.'
He continued to say "What we tend to forget is that Zeus was so pissed at Prometheus that he chained him to a rock so eagles could peck out his guts for eternity." Williams said, "some would say that's what we deserve for giving the power of tweets to Donald Trump."

Comparing himself to the mythological Prometheus, the Loki and the Lucifer of the Greek pantheon, the bestower of humanity on humanity - nope, no fat-headed egotism there.

[mad.casual]

nope, no fat-headed egotism there.

The comparison is so earnest one almost wonders if he realizes that the story isn't literally true.

It seems to be a heuristic or right of passage with regard to Silicon Valley gurus, once they start focusing on the implications of their technology under the First Amendment, it means they're out of good business/technology ideas. We don't need more lawyers and your experience as a billion-dollar tech entrepreneur doesn't make you (a better or even good) one, thanks.

BREAKING NEWS

The health-care bill that passed the House would leave 23 million more Americans uninsured by 2026, CBO concludes. The congressional analysts' latest projection of the bill's significant impact on coverage, as well as the federal deficit, could complicate efforts in the Senate to move forward on legislation.

Stupid nonpartisan CBO! Why won't they pledge their loyalty to Cheeto? Why??

Had to read this many times to decipher who did what when. So they went to Libya a while back, and got arrested there yesterday or so.

[Bgoptmst]

I'm interested in how they were arrested. Tripoli Metro police or dudes in multicam.

Your statement only shows that you have not even a clue of what the meaning of the concept "zero-sum game" entails.

No, I think a lot of people realized this place isn't so much libertarian, as Howard Zinn-Noam Chomsky-esque, only with slightly better economics
