Kathy Griffin did something outrageous and insulting toward Trump...

Something Ann Coulter something something President Obama something.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

Griffin. Just another depraved left-wing loon.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Do you have any idea the hard work that goes into remaining relevant in her line of work whatever that is?

[Philadelphia Collins]

Coexist?

[Citizen X - #6]

I'm pretty sure the only lines of anything Kathy Griffin has ever been involved with were cocaine.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

I am sure that at some point in her life, Kathy was standing in a line that ended at an erection.

[Libertarian]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: whoever her agent is that keeps her working is a freakin genius! Because I don't understand what it is she does, or if she's good at it.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Your fifteen minutes were up years ago, Firecrotch.

[CatoTheChipper]

Did Ann Coulter ever advocate an ISIS-style beheading of Obama. Just asking ... I know she was polemical, but I didn't know she literally wanted his head on a pike.

[NotAnotherSkippy]

Fucking socon snowflakes!

[Fist of Etiquette]

President Trump will reverse former President Obama's policy of opening up relations with Cuba...

Does that mean the wet feet, dry feet policy is back in effect?

[Citizen X - #6]

Kathy Griffin did something

Kathy Griffin is still alive?

[B.P.]

Not by the looks of it.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Her plastic surgeon is richer than ever.

[Citizen X - #6]

She's always irked me, even when she was going by "Andy Dick."

[AlmightyJB]

That is a horrible thing to say about Andy Dick.

[Shirley Knott]

She really needs to start using industrial strength sparkle.

[colorblindkid]

This Evergreen State thing is not just similar to Maoism; it is identical.

[CatoTheChipper]

It's a pampered snowflake version of the Cultural Revolution.

I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually demand that the offending biology prof wears a three-foot long dunce cap.

[SIV]

Those Red Guards need to amp up the struggle sessions. I'd love to see beat-up University professors wearing signs and dunce caps. Make them confess to their counterrevolutionary crimes and then deal with them accordingly.

YOU CAN'T DO BOTH? Add multitasking to the list of things that make millennials melt.

[Libertarian]

Have you forgotten that RS can't even change a tire?

[Fist of Etiquette]

I have not, and never will.

The future's so bright I gotta wear shades.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Apologize.

[Citizen X - #6]

I will not, for i happen to know that Young Robert enjoys this particular clip.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I mean for posting Powers Boothe. TOO SOON.

[Citizen X - #6]

It's a loving tribute, Eugene. You grieve your way, i'll grieve mine.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Nooooooooooooo. Should we send a parting sushi platter gift to Reason?

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

A basket of fine hair care products would work as well.

A certain woman writer gets in on the The Handmaid's Tale hot-take-craze.

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

The left's inability to recognize fiction is irritating, but the right-wing backlash is frequently just as lazy, but without any literary awareness. Take Brent Bozell's recent piece in Townhall, headlined "The Fake News of 'The Handmaid's Tale." In it, Bozell immediately missteps by suggesting that dystopian fiction's popularity is somehow a product of Trump's presence in the Oval Office. As if the moment he was elected?and not a minute before?the novelists, script, and screenwriters went to work creating thinly-veiled versions of America just to annoy conservatives.

Lovely.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

True--if Hillary had been elected, the narrative instead would have centered around how the book's plot reflects the misogyny of those unable to accept Old Tracy Flick issuing executive orders instead of a Person of Penis.

Lucy is the writer we need, but don't deserve.

Even after students shouted "fuck you" and "shut the fuck up" at him, President George Bridges commended "the courageous students who have voiced their concerns" in a statement.

He's getting the last laugh as these people will end up heavily in debt and unemployable. (Unless they can find a employer whose business depends on profane petulance from staff.)

[barfman2017]

*barf*

They will all find employment in the HR departments of the land and impose their insane agendas from within.

Ideological enforcement for the progressive theocracy

[NotAnotherSkippy]

Joke's on you. Government work.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

We may not have perfected self driving cars, but we sure got a handle on self-stopping cars.

Be careful the next time you take a BMW ReachNow vehicle on a ferry.

GeekWire has learned of multiple recent incidents with BMW ReachNow vehicles ? part of the automaker's car-sharing program in Seattle ? getting stuck on Washington State Ferries, including two from this holiday weekend.

One knowledgeable source said a ReachNow customer was forced to spend four hours on the Whidbey Island ferry this weekend because his vehicle's wheels were locked, making the vehicle immovable unless dragged. The state ferry system won't let passengers abandon a car on the ferry because of security concerns.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

We believe that the issue is related to a security feature built into the vehicles that kicks in when the car is moving but the engine is turned off and the doors are closed. We are working to quickly address the cause in order to determine a fix. For any ReachNow members that were impacted, we are reaching out to determine the best way to make sure they get to their final destinations safely.

[Pro Libertate]

No, Paul, not dead yet! [INSERT MANIACAL LAUGHTER.]

[Citizen X - #6]

Well look who decided to show up.

[Pro Libertate]

I'm like the guy who painted numbers on Sesame Street, only less British and more gainfully employed.

[Pro Libertate]

Is that paid leave, unpaid leave, or bitcoin leave?

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Well look who decided to show up.

[Pro Libertate]

I saw the thing about Nick's uncle.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

I saved a seat for you.

[Pro Libertate]

Thanks.

Condolences, Nick. Your uncle sounds like one of the good ones.

[Anomalous]

French leave.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Only if it is a battlefield. Or overtime.

[Pro Libertate]

Or family leave.

The Homeless Conservative

You could think that Trump is a poison, a buffoon, a crass loudmouth who should never have gotten within spitting distance of the presidency. You could have opposed him forcefully in the primary, refused to vote for him in the general, and continue to oppose him when he does outrageous things as president ? but none of that matters if you're not on progressives' side on every single issue. If you're not fully with them on everything from single-payer health care to late term abortion, you're as evil as any Trump flunky.

The Never Trump crowd did exactly what those on the left demanded. They bucked "their" party, refused to vote for "their" candidate, and have been critical of Trump from the get-go through to the election. But we are still regarded by the left as "pathetic."

[...]

"If there were any decent people left on the right, they would oppose Trump" we are told, to which a significant segment of us have said, "We oppose Trump, so we will join you." The response from the left is "Shut the hell up and get the hell out of here."

[Conchfritters]

Sounds like the students vs. the Evergreen President above. No matter how much you give in to them, you will never never win.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

"An essay in which the traditional conservative finally realizes that the left will demonize them no matter the circumstance, as befitting those of a religious fundamentalism, and begins to understand why Trump won."

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

That's one take-away, I guess.

[MarkLastname]

That just wasn't a marriage meant to last. Most of the conservative (or libertarian) points of opposition to Trump (free trade, limited government, etc.) put them on the opposite side of Trump from progressives. Not that plenty of conservatives and purported libertarians haven't rediscovered the wonders of mercantilism recently.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Unions, always lookin' out for the little guy:

A business operating on Seattle Parks and Recreation property was told to stop serving food during school lunch hours, to avoid conflict with the union representing school cafeteria workers, who serve lunch at Garfield High School next door.

Artez Ford, who owns Garfield Eats, said he has lost 70 percent of his business since October, when he was forced to sign an amendment to his Parks and Recreation contract promising not to sell food between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

[Juice]

"He told me that there are real American families up at the cafeteria that's trying to make a living," Ford said.

Unlike you, you scum.

[Juice]

"I used to come down here [to Garfield Eats] for lunch, like, all the time, because it was so much cheaper," said freshman Makayla Clegg.

Fuck you, scum. There are Real American Families trying to make a living and all you can think about is money.

[Bubba Jones]

I am flabbergasted. School lunches in Texas are $2.35.

Everything about this article is just wrong.

[MarkLastname]

My dad always use to say that after the Mafia crumbled, the unions basically took their place doing the same things they had before, but worse, only without having to give a cut to some guidos. I don't see how people can call themselves pro-union considering that they are basically extortionists for upper-middle class labor cartels. It's as bizarre a thing as those John Gotti fan clubs.

[John C. Randolph]

he was forced to sign an amendment to his Parks and Recreation contract

If he was forced, then the amendment he signed is invalid. He should reopen for lunch and tell the mobsters to go fuck themselves.

It's a short book, full of tweets from college students.

Tweets are pass?. I mean, Old Man Trump tweets. Might as well use e-mail.

It's all pictures now.

Yet, the large majority of responses I've seen have been about the double standards.

Describing a simulated beheading as "outrageous and insulting" being part and parcel of said double standard.

Waitress reportedly fired for steamy night with Orlando Bloom

Bloom left early the next morning for an interview, but Ross remained in his bed, where a manager at the hotel found her, the pal said.

The same thing happened to me when I was tending bar at the Utica, New York Ramada Inn. One night character actor M. Emmet Walsh walked in, had a drink, and the next morning the hotel manager found me in the room, and I was fired. Plus, had to pay for the room damages!

So brave to protest without any consequences or sacrifices whatsoever.

Back in my day, if you wanted to get out of school work you pulled the fire alarm. So, progress, I guess?

Re: Kathy Griffin, the best way to respond is to either (a) ignore her and let her continue her descent into irrelevancy or (b) photo shop the severed head so it looks like Mohammed, make it go viral and let nature take its course.

(c) Binge-watch Suddenly Susan.

"ignore her and let her continue her descent into irrelevancy"

That's odd. He didn't mention a successor. What can that mean?

[Libertarian]

It can mean only one thing. He's being replaced by three interns.

[Meh.]

Aww, you will be missed, Robby. But congratulations on your book deal! Looking forward to it.

[Jerryskids]

Since Robby will be working on his book he won't have time to put up the links, but I'll bet he'll still have time to infiltrate the comments. He'll pretend to be Tulpa, but the first time he drops a "to be sure," he'll be busted.

[CatoTheChipper]

Remember when "neoliberal" wasn't a smear?

Thanks for reminding me why I let my subscription to The Atlantic expire. In this nice article, a Columbia linguistics prof manages to further confuse the meanings of "liberal" and "neoliberal". He spends 2100 words on the subject without addressing the origin of the word "liberal".
