If North Korea attacks South Korea, “a majority of Americans favor deploying U.S. troops.”

I mean, MASH was a hit.

The reboot will have to make some pretty serious changes to Klinger’s motivations.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

CNN? Polls? Seriously Damon?

Man, those must some kind of cocktails they serve up!

[Bee Tagger]

As long as it’s not Root’s usual cocktail of depressing and death-riddled links, I’m not going to complain.

[Chipper Morning, Now #1]

Are Root’s links more depressing than the links of others?

[Rufus The Monocled]

You guys really know how to keep tabs on things.

[Mickey Rat]

A majority of Americans favor defending a longtime free, democratic ally from a bizarre communistic totalitarian regime. Imagine that.

[Eek Barba Durkle]

‘defending’

[Mickey Rat]

The question was predicated on North Korea attacking South Korea.

[Eric]

Most American’s seem to still believe that South Korea is a backward land of peasants incapable of defending themselves. As opposed to a very wealthy, advanced nation perfectly capable of defending themselves (from their much less advanced and militarily inferior northern neighbor).
But I guess we gotta “put a boot in someone’s ass” every so often in the name of freedom.

[Azathoth!!]

Most American’s seem to still believe that you help your allies

FTFY

[Eric]

“Help” = Underwrite their security at massive expense to your own bloated budget?

You should run for congress, the MIC would fund your entire campaign.

[creech]

Which troops? The sailors aboard a ballistic submarine cruising in the Sea of Japan?

[Agammamon]

That would be way more ballsy than boomers are used to.

[CE]

It’s a good thing a majority approves, since 23,500 troops are already deployed (and have been for 64 years.)

The Trump administration is “quietly courting a few dozen House Democrats on tax reform.”

The leaks are being whispered to reporters this time.

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38 percent in a new poll.

Sad.

[DJF]

I thought that Reason already had a story that it had dropped to 33%?

So does this means that Trump is having a surge in popularity?

[Palin's Buttplug]

One of those polls counted the illegals.

Just like that decisive official poll last November!

PERMANENT! DECISIVE! SETTLED!

“The average temperature in the United States has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980, and recent decades have been the warmest of the past 1,500 years, according to a sweeping federal climate change report awaiting approval by the Trump administration.”

Surely some of those weather stations are due for an upgrade.

Do I detect a note of skepticism in your voice?

God I hope Trump LOLs and tosses this in the shredder.

LOL because Trump is more of an expert than scientists LOL.

How is it they were growing crops and raising livestaock in Greenland 1000 years ago, but not now?

Greenhouses don’t count, which ought to be obvious, but one never can rely on Tony for common sense.

[Tony]

Welp I guess the entire global body of scientists are wrong and you’re right because greenhouses on Greenland. Where’s your fucking Nobel Prize?

Who knew they gave Nobels for religious environmentalism now?

Citation?

Remember… you mean every single scientist on Earth, so reflect that in your citation.

[OM Nullum gratuitum prandium]

Re: Tony,

I guess the entire global body of scientists are wrong

You mean the [quite mythical] consensus?

Because it’s not an “entire global body of scientists” to begin with. And they’re not priests, Tony. You may fancy them as such but they’re not.

[Tony]

All these responses are as pathetic as you know them to be.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

Stop pushing your religion onto others, Tony.

[Scarecrow Repair & Chippering]

Way late now, but I notice you behaved according to reputation, ie, didn’t answer the question but insulted the messenger.

[Tom Bombadil]

1. The USA is 2% of the Earth’s surface, so who gives a Flying F?
2. “has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980”
So have temperature “adjustments”
3. “sweeping federal climate change report ”
Keep on sweeping, the trash can isn’t far.

[Rhywun]

Against my better judgement I read the linked article (NYT – seriously?) and it’s basically a gang of permanent government flunkies all ganging up on Trump with this. I can’t for the life of me guess what makes them think he’ll read it, let alone take it seriously.

[Tom Bombadil]

Lately, I haven’t been hearing the sheep bleating for the jailing of skeptics, so maybe we’ve turned a corner.

1980 was much lower than 1935.

Microsoft Chatbot Trolls Shoppers for Online Sex

The chatbot, tested recently in Seattle, Atlanta, and Washington, lurks behind fake online ads for sex posted by nonprofits working to combat human trafficking, and responds to text messages sent to the number listed. The software initially pretends to be the person in the ad, and can converse about its purported age, body, fetish services, and pricing. But if a would-be buyer signals an intent to purchase sex, the bot pivots sharply into a stern message.

Game of Thrones Uses IKEA Rugs As Capes

“These capes are actually IKEA rugs,” Michele Clapton, an Emmy Award?winning designer, told an audience at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles last year. “We take anything we can,” Clapton added with a chuckle as she described the process that goes into designing medieval garb. “We cut and we shaved [the rugs] and then we added strong leather straps. . . . I want the audience to almost smell the costume.” The result is an IKEA-inspired cape that not only appears worn-in but also has the aesthetic of real medieval clothing.

I make my capes out of dragonstone.

Report reveals underground US haven for heroin, drug users

A safe haven where drug users inject themselves with heroin and other drugs has been quietly operating in the United States for the past three years, a report reveals.

None were known to exist in the U.S. until the disclosure in a medical journal, although several states and cities are pushing to establish these so-called supervised injection sites where users can shoot up under the care of trained staff who can treat an overdose if necessary.

Yeah, it’s called Hamsterdam.

I, A Fat, Beautiful Black Woman, Get Lots of Sex. Why Does That Bother You?

If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that I am sex-positive and discuss various topics related to sex all the time. It’s no secret that I am openly non-monogamous, a believer in polyamory, and a size queen with no gag reflex who loves a big dick.

So you’re just like Mike M?

There’s politics involved in labeling. I alluded to that earlier when I used all the flowery descriptors for Usher’s accuser. For most people, there are two categories of big girls: fat and thick.

Don’t let fatness fool you. We get more sex than you guys think. Some of your faves not only desire our sex, but they prefer it. I have the DMs, private messages, and sexual track record to prove it.

What Lena Dunham and Donald Trump have in common

For Lena Dunham, the trigger is a long delay at JFK airport. “Morning Joe” and other cable news slights get the President going.

Both of these high-profile personalities tweet too much.

A bunch of rich, but stupid, idiots in Nancy Pelosi’s exclusive San Francisco neighborhood (where many homes are valued at well over $10 million) didn’t pay the property taxes on their private road for a couple of decades, and woke up one morning to find out that their street was put up for auction and sold.

ROFLMAO. Couldn’t happen to a bunch of more wonderful limousine liberals. I hope those clever entrepeneurs put up a toll booth right in front of their house and charge then ten bucks each way.

[The Last American Hero]

As someone commented yesterday, they should lease the parking spaces to nonprofits, who will put in Tiny Homes to house the homeless.

[Rhywun]

You’d think the left would pause and wonder why “public servants” so often turn out to be the richest people in town.

[Domestic Dissident]

And why they won’t pay their taxes either that they insist the rest of us pay!

[Rhywun]

Yeah, bribery and money laundering can’t buy the biggest mansion in town all on their own.

[loveconstitution1789]

The articles that I saw made a big deal to mention that Pelosi’s husband is already a millionaire and downplay Pelosi also having made millions as a politician.

In other words, the media knows that people get pissed if politicians who made millions as public servants get used to further fuck the unwashed masses.

[loveconstitution1789]

“…a toll booth right in front of their house and charge then ten bucks each way.”
I was thinking the same thing.

Haha.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

The best part is the couple bought it for an absolute song at $90K. They could easily recoup that in about a year just from selling parking passes for the road, and since these homes all have driveways, it won’t really affect the homeowners.

The irony that anyone on the street could have easily purchased the road and they still got caught completely flat-footed by this shows how atomized and unengaged these people are with their neighbors. Something like this should have easily come up on their radar if they were getting tax notifications about it, but no one bothered to talk to anyone else about the situation, and now the new street owners are going to let in the proles to despoil their little paradise.

If North Korea attacks South Korea, “a majority of Americans favor deploying U.S. troops.”

[loveconstitution1789]

That’s hard when pilots get shot down. Drones are not a major force yet. We use cruise missile though.

Point is that combat with one hand tied behind your back is a proven mistake. Actually Korea is a prime example of the USA having one hand tied behind its back during the Korean War. MacArthur defeated the North Koreans but China intervened. Truman publicly stated that nuclear weapons would not be used and fired MacArthur for publicly saying that we could use nukes to stop the Chinese hordes. Not that we would use nukes but had both hands available to fight.

Now we have this North and South Korea situation 65 years later.

[CE]

Kinda tough when we have 23,500 troops already on the ground.

[Eric]

Trump’s trying to dismantle the police state? You sure about that?

[creech]

A good number of my acquaintances who voted for Trump aren’t happy with his performance either. But none of them regret voting for him vs. the alternative. The question is, who could the Dems put up in 2020 that could beat Trump even if his approval ratings are under 50% then?

[loveconstitution1789]

I would be willing to bet its Republicans in Congress not repealing ObamaCare that would explain Trump getting blamed for that for those people.

I didn’t vote for Trump but like some of what he has done I also hate that RINOs in Congress are not repealing ObamaCare and fixing the tax code. I think Trump foreign combat interventions are mistakes. The Syria ceasefire is good news.

Trump’s “approval ratings” were low and Trump won the election. Its because the “approval ratings” are left tools to skew public opinion and are BS propaganda. Democrats are done as a political force.

[loveconstitution1789]

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38 percent in a new poll.

24/7 on air pants-shitting by Libtard News Networks probably count for a few % points.

[loveconstitution1789]

Even funnier than lefty pant-shitting is that Republicans in Congress are doing more to prevent Trump from dismantling the Nanny-State lefties love than Anything lefties are doing- Including but not limited to lying about poll results.

[loveconstitution1789]

There is whole bunch of fake news or better called propaganda out there and much of it comes from the lefty media.

The left has left behind any intellectual reality a LONG time ago.

Common lefty propaganda tactics include but are limited to: are taking stories and lying through purposeful omissions to skew a story, only getting one side of a story, only covering lefty agendas to make it seem like any other agenda is irrelevant, making up scientific results, making up poll results but not polling opposition voices….

[Tony]

And all of this is revealed by the rigorous empirical methods of Sean Hannity and CNNisforcucks.com, I gather?

[loveconstitution1789]

Who is Sean Hannity?

Who knows is the point. Trump is going to get re-elected, so Trump’s approval numbers are not that low to most Americans.

CNN (Commie News Network) is for cucks. Glad you agree.

[Tony]

And when he’s not reelected, it will be a conspiracy of the Jews. I mean globalists. I think we get it.

You’re wrong there Tony. It’s anyone who thinks for themselves who is resigned to intellectual oblivion. Tribalist hacks like lc1789 and TB are the mainstream.

Spike Lee is holding a rally in a couple of weeks for the Obamafags’ favorite football player of all time. I’m guessing most of you have probably already figured out who that it is before you even look at the link.

[Tom Bombadil]

I clicked, and it makes sense now. Kaepernik will probably get the Obama honorary Nobel Peace Prize.

Before clicking, and judging by Obama’s feygele ways, I was going to guess some obscure place kick holder.

[Domestic Dissident]

He has a bright future in congress or working for George Soros or something for sure.

It’s hard to believe, but just four years ago many of the geniuses in the media were telling us that Kaepernick and RG3 were the quarterbacking wave of the NFL future. ROFL. Another brilliant, right on the money prediction.

If he is up for parole, you gotta let him roll!

Damn, I thought for sure it was OJ.

A majority of Americans always favor deploying the troops. It costs them nothing (as far as they can see – these people forget about taxes) and ‘its for a good cause’.

These same people will scream bloody murder if you show a picture of a coffin coming back.

[CE]

They’re already deployed in this case.

I sure hope Reason does a story on this.

It was discussed quite a bit yesterday and was in the PM links last night.

“The average temperature in the United States has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980, and recent decades have been the warmest of the past 1,500 years, according to a sweeping federal climate change report awaiting approval by the Trump administration.”
So, it was warmer 1501 years ago? Wouldn’t that be an argument for warming cycles being normal that humans barely impact?

[Tony]

You’re not good at this.

[loveconstitution1789]

I know common sense is incompatible with lefty Global Climate Change nonsense.

[Philadelphia Collins]

1500 years.
The planet is 4.5 billion years old.

[Tony]

Data about average global temperature gets less reliable the further back you go, obviously. You people want to insert a claim about warming cycles or whatever the fuck with no evidence or justification whatsoever because you don’t want to believe what the science actually says, for whatever reason. Probably because you’re tribalist morons who care more about being on the opposite side of liberals than being right.

“REPENT, SINNERS! WOE UNTO THEE WHO USE THE DEVILISH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, FOR SCIENCE!! WILL SMITE THEE, BECAUSE WE FUCKING LOVE IT!!”

[CE]

The average temperature in the United States has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980…

Seems about the same to me. Hardly what you’d call “drastic” in any case.
And wasn’t 1980 the year Mt. St. Helens erupted? Why didn’t they pick 1930 as the starting point?

[Tom Bombadil]

They tried to traverse the graph but were blocked by a giant hockey stick.

[VicRattlehead]

“RECORD HEAT WAVES”!!!!!! Except its the coldest summer in memory ……….

[loveconstitution1789]

Weather is NOT climate even though weather makes up climate information over time.

The funniest thing about lefty climate change hysteria is that humans might be influencing climate AND the Earth has its own climate cycles. In other words, its not the sky is falling situation that lefties want.

Few days old but:

Dischord opens entire discography for streaming.

Lots of good stuff beyond Fugazi, Minor Threat, and Bad Brains. People mention punk a fair amount here, figured it might be interesting.

“The average temperature in the United States has risen rapidly and drastically since 1980, and recent decades have been the warmest of the past 1,500 years, according to a sweeping federal climate change report awaiting approval by the Trump administration.”

“Now, give us money!” said the government scientists after they posted their ransom note report.

It’s a good thing we had instruments so accurate during the fall of the Roman Empire to know that these have been the warmest decades since… Or just what the FUCK do these idiots think 1,500 years mean?
