President Trump spent the weekend at the U.S. Women's Open, which was being held at his golf course in New Jersey.

Uh-oh.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

"It may take a few weeks for John McCain to return to the Senate after surgery."

Lindsey Graham's media workload just doubled.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Pussy grabbing opportunity.

[Citizen X - #6]

Bet paying opportunity.

[MarkLastname]

Better get your snatch over there before it's too late.

[Jerryskids]

Why are they holding a tennis tournament on a golf course?

[Rhywun]

That crap kept pre-empting my European football. Didn't watch yesterday but I heard some of Trump's groupies followed him there.

[Fist of Etiquette]

It may take a few weeks for John McCain to return to the Senate after surgery.

There's a Jane Fonda joke in here somewhere, just give me a minute.

[Crusty Juggler :)]

It's been over 25 minutes...

[Citizen X - #6]

Unlike ravens, Eugene is incapable of planning.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Jane Fonda walks into a bar and the bartender says, "What's with the long face?" Fonda replies, "The people holding John McCain isolated in a room aren't enemies of the United States, they're just doctors, so I can't make a spectacle of myself meeting with them." And the bartender says, "That's okay, McCain met with ISIS kidnappers in Syria once." And then a horse walks out in disgust.

[Crusty Juggler :)]

That was well worth the wait.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Agreed. Lots of moving parts. Making it a joke, but also a microcosm of reality.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Jane Sanders complained about "sexism" in the FBI investigation into her alleged bank fraud.

Elon Musk called artificial intelligence the "greatest risk we face as a civilization."

Someone's finally gotten around to seeing The Terminator.

[Ride 'Em]

And people ignored me when I told them the NSA has an electronic spy network actually called Skynet.

I'm assuming Musk hasn't yet figured out a way to mulct the taxpayers for an AI project?

All I'm getting as of late is that women shouldn't be trusted with any power whatsoever. It's sexist to hold them to the same standards as men, obviously.

Filmmaker George Romero died this weekend, aged 77.

But did he stay dead?

The most dangerous Australian predator is indeed a jittery, cowardly, American policeman.

I didn't realize Jeronimo Yanez was back on duty already.

As much as I hate police, I just can't convince myself that Australians should be considered human.

[BYODB]

Well, at least you and the British have something in common.

[$park? leftist poser]

Her friend Matt Omo, an Australian, told the ABC he hoped something positive could come from the tragedy.

'I only hope this evolves into something that can make a positive impact for the world,' he said.

It won't.

[Rhywun]

You know, countries warning their citizens not to visit America because they'll be in mortal danger from out-of-control cops might bring some useful attention to this issue. More useful than the usual preening about Trump being mean to women or Muslims.

[Gene]

This!

[Gene]

Jesus fucking christ, we don't need more evidence that the police aren't always your friends. One day this knowledge will be common I hope.

I saw this story on the news just now, I came here to see Reason's story about it, I assume it's coming.

[damikesc]

?It may take a few weeks for John McCain to return to the Senate after surgery.

Never would be a preferable time table.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Liches are forever.

[$park? leftist poser]

John McCain hid his phylactery in the last place anyone would look for it. Under the ground where his cage was in Vietnam.

[Crusty Juggler :)]

Thank you, EPA!!

[Rhywun]

It also calls for the City Council to pass legislation requiring medium and large buildings in the targeted areas to put out their trash for pickup early in the morning, ridding sidewalks of the overnight trash mounds that attract vermin.

How about the city garbagemen pick it up overnight? Oh I guess their union out-unions the building worker union. FFS

[TrickyVic (old school)]

I'm going with noise complaint issues. I remember they did pickup at night years ago.

Noise is a common complaint to 311.

[Rhywun]

I see private collectors collecting business garbage working overnight all the time. Noise complaints are largely ignored anyway.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Rats are a common complaint among New Yorkers, who logged more than 17,200 sightings via the 311 system last year, up from 12,600 in 2014, the mayor's first year in office.

You're supposed to call 311 when you see a rat? The fuck?

Though I guess the fact that it's only 17,200 calls means it's rarely done.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

You're supposed to call 311 when you see a rat?

Only if they are hauling down the subway steps carrying a slice of Sausage Pep.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

311 is the whine line.

[Rhywun]

It's also the general "rat on your neighbor" line.

[lap83]

If I had rats on me I'd want my neighbor to call 911, not 311. Maybe the police would shoot some of them off

[TrickyVic (old school)]

""Maybe the police would shoot some of them off""

LOL, if you noticed how bad the NYPD is at hitting a target, you would prefer not calling anyone and take your chances with the rats.

[lap83]

Naturally I would tell the cops that they are my pet rats.

[BYODB]

Yeah, well maybe that's why he wants a rat vest...with enough rats churning all over your body even the NYC police might be able to hit one of them!

[TrickyVic (old school)]

Yep. that probably makes up most the numbers in the rat category. Which could explain why that haven't done much against the rodents.

[Illocust]

Not surprised, though I still don't understand. What is it specifically about Jews that makes progs not love them like every other minority. They have the freaking holocaust. That's ultimate victim cred, yet for some reason they are despised.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Progs like Sarah Silverman don't like Jews? That is just nuts.

Cons don't like Jews - they like Israel instead. Because Israel is where Jeeby is gonna come back and pull the guts from all us rationalist liberals someday.

[RT]

Maybe, just maybe, it's because Israel is the only Western-style democracy in the Middle East? Shared values and all that.

Speaking as a conservative, Catholic who really doesn't have an opinion on how or when the "end times" are going to come about.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

What about Lebanon? And Tunisia?

[Palin's Buttplug]

And Turkey.

If conservatives were really in love with Western style democracies they wouldn't be pissing all over Europe's legit ones.

[RT]

Well, you have me with Lebanon, I suppose, although I'm not sure Tunisia and Turkey are considered Middle East (and Turkey seems to be sliding backwards of late). My point still stands regarding being pro-Israel without being a "bible thumper" or whatever phrase is in vogue now.

As far as conservatives "pissing all over" Europe's democracies, I'm not sure where that comes from. Is it Trump's supposed skepticism of NATO? Although I'm not a fan of the president, he's right to hold their feet to the fire on defense spending. Is it because conservatives are not crazy about transplanting European-style policies over here? Not sure how that's a slam on those countries. If they don't want our policies over there, would that mean that they are "pissing all over" us?

[Juice]

Is Tunisia in the Middle East?

[BYODB]

Are you literally retarded? The only party that's consistently tried to fuck over the Jews and Israel would be the Democrats. And, notably, if you think conservatives are 'for' Israel 'because Jesus' you'd need to explain why it's ok for Muslims to be there, but not Jews, according to Progressive Democrats.

I guess the plan is give the Muslims Jerusalem and maybe they'll stop bombing us, or something like that? Yeah, sure. That sounds like it will work about as well as the last time it was tried.

[Rhywun]

They're relatively rich and successful duh

[Agammamon]

Its much the same reason they've been turning on gay dudes too. Wait till the average lesbian can get her shit together and you'll see the LBGT lose the LBG.

[BestUsedCarSales]

People will still hate Bs.

[Zeb]

It is kind of weird. Part of it is because Palestinians are more victimy adn Israel is a big meanie (or something like that). Probably some good old fashioned "the Jews control the money" anti-semitic paranoia too.

It's not all progs either. Plenty of Jewish progressives out there. It's also possible (despite protests to the contrary from a number of people) to be anti-Israel and not anti-semitic (much as it is possible to hate teh American government but like Americans and American culture).

Trump is killing the Republican Party - By Joe Scarborough

As the new century began, Republicans gained control of the federal government. George W. Bush and the GOP Congress responded by turning a $155 billion surplus into a $1 trillion deficit and doubling the national debt, passing a $7 trillion unfunded entitlement program and promoting a foreign policy so utopian it would have made Woodrow Wilson blush. Voters made Nancy Pelosi speaker of the House in 2006 and Barack Obama president in 2008.

https://goo.gl/afDxxQ

[Domestic Dissident]

Yeah, that's why you bitches have lost every single national election in the last eight months.

How are sales of your shit book doing by the way?

[Palin's Buttplug]

Conservatives have lost too. That is Scab's point.

You proto-fascist Trumptards are winning instead.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Principles be damned, Buttplug. What matters is that the progtards lost!!!

[chemjeff]

I know, right? In this last election, Trump could have copy-pasted Hillary's agenda as his own and still won, because he "wasn't Hillary".

[Griffin3]

True dat.

[damikesc]

Man, if you lose Scarborough, what hope do you have left?

[Jerryskids]

Trump is killing the Republican Party

And here I thought Scarborough didn't like Trump. Good to see Joe giving credit where credit's due and pointing out what a bunch of useless fucks George Bush and the GOP are. I may have to re-think my opinion of ol' Joe there, he's a bigger man than me if he can rise above Trump's school-yard bully taunts and actually praise the fat-headed blowhard.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

""Congress responded by turning a $155 billion surplus into a $1 trillion deficit ""

There was no Trillion dollar deficit under Bush. The only time we had a Trillion dollar deficit was in 2009 when the unfunded Trillion dollar ARRA was passed by dems holding both houses of congress, and the presidency.

[damikesc]

Nor was there ever a legitimate surplus. The National Debt increased every year under Clinton. If we had a surplus, that wouldn't have been the case.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Not true. The CBO reported a $1.2 trillion deficit before Bush left office:

"Read the link, you idiot partisan GOP hack."

So where are you hiding the lie, you slimy piece of shit?
BTW, you LOST, loser.
Hahahahahahahah....

[TrickyVic (old school)]

From the Article,

'Whatever package lawmakers pass will add significantly to the deficit. On Tuesday, Obama suggested the country could see trillion-dollar deficits potentially for years.

Obama's economic advisers have said they are working on a stimulus proposal that could cost up to $775 billion. But several noted economists have recommended lawmakers pass a stimulus package worth between $800 billion and $1.3 trillion."

The article was written the month Bush left office, and it is referring to what was to come under the Obama admin and a dem congress. The stimulus mentioned became the ARRA and ended up a little more than $775. That, on top of the what was then normal 500B(ish) deficit ran the deficit to over a Trillion.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

Think of it this way too. Adding a single 1T piece of legislation would add a significant bump to the deficit. The republicans and Bush did not pass the ARRA. There is no other large outlying bump in the list of deficits.

[Palin's Buttplug]

The ($1.2 trillion) estimate does not account for the massive spending and tax cuts proposed in President-elect Barack Obama's economic rescue plan.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

The estimate may not have, but the actual would have.

[Palin's Buttplug]

The 2008-09 deficit was $1.2 trillion BEFORE any Obama program was added in.

So your statement:

There was no Trillion dollar deficit under Bush

is WRONG. Incorrect. (unless you meant to say it was higher)

This is not a partisan GOP site, by the way.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

So how much more did it go up when Obama's spending and tax cuts were applied?

[Palin's Buttplug]

The CBO estimated that enacting the bill would increase federal budget deficits by $185 billion over the remaining months of fiscal year 2009, by $399 billion in 2010, and by $134 billion in 2011, or $787 billion over the 2009?2019 period.

[Juice]

Obama suggested the country could see trillion-dollar deficits potentially for years

If anyone knows about that sort of thing, it's Obama.

[chemjeff]

No, Trump isn't killing the Republican Party. Trump is revealing who the "REAL" Republicans are. It turns out, during all those years of Tea Party protests, when they went to town hall meetings and the like and said "cut spending", what they really meant was, "cut spending for THEM and keep spending for US".

Republicans don't believe in fiscal conservatism, they believe in fiscal moralism. That the government should spend money on those deemed morally "worthy" and not spend money on those who are not. Trump revealed that in dramatic fashion. Spending money on the military or the wall or on Medicare for deserving older people = good. Spending money on brown people and liberals = bad. Evidently the worst thing about ObamaCare, from their point of view, wasn't that it represented a "government takeover of health care" or a "slippery slope to single-payer", but that it spent money on undeserving poor people to get health insurance.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Trump is revealing who the "REAL" Republicans are.

Exactly. I recall the Tea Party signs that read KEEP YER FILTHY GOVERNMENT HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE!

[chemjeff]

And, as it turns out, those signs weren't just the work of isolated loopy individuals.

[chemjeff]

Republicans don't believe in fiscal conservatism, they believe in fiscal moralism.

Which is another reason why libertarians shouldn't adopt the phrase "fiscal conservatism", because as long as Republicans tout fiscal moralism but label it as "fiscal conservatism", our identity will be damaged by such misidentification as well.

[Rhywun]

Spending money to keep poor people poor is bad, yes.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

Hey shriek, you left out the aftermath from 2008, when the Dems lost over 1,000 elected seats at the federal and state level.

The Dems took the wrong message from Obama's victory that full identity politics was the Wave of the Future, and have been getting their asses handed to them ever since. Hillary running up the score in hyper-blue urban ant hives doesn't change that fact.

What's particularly precious about your little pull-quote is it doesn't mention the Obama administration's equally utopian foreign policy that took a bad situation in the Middle East and made it worse. At least when Bush was in charge, minority sects that had been in Iraq for millennia weren't being liquidated by Mesopotamian and European jihadis, and the region's most precious cultural and historical sites weren't being blown to smithereens.

[Sevo]

NO!
You mean turd's been caught lying AGAIN?!?!
Hey, turd. Pay your bet.

[Juice]

At least when Bush was in charge, minority sects that had been in Iraq for millennia weren't being liquidated by Mesopotamian and European jihadis, and the region's most precious cultural and historical sites weren't being blown to smithereens.

Uh, that's MAJOR bullshit. First off, there was basically civil war in Iraq from about 2005 onward, so all sort of people were being liquidated. The Iraq War itself took care of some historical sites. Bush's war completely fucked the place up for the next century and you want to blame the guy who stupidly tried to clean it up and was most unsuccessful, then mostly left it alone, which should have been done from the beginning.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

"All sorts of people" that consisted of the same Shia-Sunni bullshit that's been going on since Mohammed died.

Funny how most were left alone, though.

Bush's war completely fucked the place up for the next century

Oh, are we pulling out the crystal ball now?

you want to blame the guy who stupidly tried to clean it up and was most unsuccessful, then mostly left it alone,

Does Obama not bear any responsibility for what happened during his time in office? Were you asleep during the entire Arab Spring and the resultant shit-show aftermath?

[RT]

I have to agree here, actually, although I think it's too early to say to what extent. If the Republican party is to be the "conservative" party in the U.S., its connection to Trump is bound to hurt it and conservatism in general.

The pornification of politics is what gave us Donald Trump: he established himself as a public figure through a "reality" show in which he acted the part of the omnipotent autocrat whose whim was law. The purpose of "reality" TV, and of advertising more generally, is to subvert our instincts about reality in the real world, something which is at least as damaging as sexual porn and is very closely related to it.

From the article:

Max Neely approached them and asked, cautiously, whether they were interested in socialism.

No, they responded. They identified themselves as members of Identity Evropa, a white nationalist group that endorses racial segregation and only admits applicants of "European, non-Semitic heritage". They had initially supported Trump as a presidential candidate, but were now in Harrisburg to protest him; they were disappointed that he had not yet created a white ethno-state.

Good Lord, where do these people come from.

I mean, the stench of stupid is just so overpowering. Did these white nationalists really think Trump had the power to just wave a magic wand and kick out all the brown people?

To be fair, plenty of loud people on the left seem to think he can do this, too.

[Stormy Dragon]

Rural central Pennsylvania is a scary place.

[Zeb]

I wonder how much of their certainty that Trump was going to be some white nationalist hero came from the excessive focus on the support he got from such people by democrats and the media.

As far as I could see, Trump himself said pretty much nothing to support the notion.

[chemjeff]

Oh come on. Trump's entire campaign, particularly his excessive emphasis on the border wall, was a giant dog-whistle to the white nationalists. Trump didn't HAVE to say "kick out the brown people". The nationalists knew that Trump was on Team Whitey for his willingness to call illegals "rapists and murderers".

"Jane Sanders complained about "sexism" in the FBI investigation into her alleged bank fraud."

So let me see if I understand this. Jane Sanders claims that the FBI is investigating her as a way of attacking her husband, Sen. Bernie Sanders. And this constitutes:

An abuse of power? No...
Prosecutorial misconduct? No...
Political retaliation? No...
Violation of due process and constitutional rights? No...

Sexism??? DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!

I think we'll eventually be paying for individual private shower/changing rooms for everyone.

[Citizen X - #6]

What about "has two penii"? Asking for a friend.

Jane Sanders complained about "sexism" in the FBI investigation into her alleged bank fraud.

Right. She was just extremely careless with the financial reports.

[AlmightyJB]

Oh, so you're saying she was careless because she's a woman?
