In her new book, Hillary Clinton called Trump a "creep" who made her "skin crawl."

Likewise, I'm sure.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

"In her new book, Hillary Clinton called Trump a "creep" who made her "skin crawl.""

Demons can do that?

[Jerryskids]

She then went on to add, " I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control. I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul."

[Charles Easterly]

She wants us to notice, when she's not around....

[Inigo Montoya]

What the hell is she doing here? She doesn't belong here!

[BestUsedCarSales]

Ed beat you with the alt-text mang.

[Charles Easterly]

Ed beat you with the alt-text mang.

Perhaps I am incorrect here, yet I think that Jerryskids, like myself, read Ed's Alt-Text before posting a comment.

In my opinion Ed and Scott are among the writers at/on H&R who provide the most topically imaginative Alt-Text.

They are also, in my opinion, among the best writers at H&R.

[BestUsedCarSales]

That's disgusting then that you would even consider yourself worthy of riding on Ed's coattails. He is like a God and we are just men.

[Jerryskids]

FYI, I looked at the Sun too long today to see if they were re-playing the eclipse since it was such a smash hit and my eyeballs exploded so I'm blind. Thank you very much for pointing out my inability to see alt-text. This is why we need laws against hate speech, you inconsiderate chimpmunk.

[Ayuleen]

I?d pay to hear how she calls Obama. In private conversations without him around, of course.

[Citizen X - #6]

In her new book, Hillary Clinton called Trump a "creep" who made her "skin crawl."

That wasn't Trump making her skin crawl, it was all the scarab beetles tunneling around.

[BestUsedCarSales]

All they want is to get out or die. Hillary allows them neither.

[Citizen X - #6]

They are the souls of those who have thwarted her, and they must feed from her rancid flesh for eternity.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Melania Trump thanked Chelsea Clinton for defending Barron Trump over a Daily Caller piece critcizing his style of clothing.

Was it from the Trump line of clothing?

[BestUsedCarSales]

All I know is all of us here are far too civil to insult someone's looks or dress.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I know everyone here but me is a fatty, but I don't feel the need to say it.

[Libertymike]

You are also quite chatty.

[Citizen X - #6]

IT'S WATER WEIGHT YOU ASSHOLE.

[Charles Easterly]

It's the jeans that make an individual look fat.

Or is it?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Egypt has canceled meetings with Jared Kushner to protest the U.S. decision to cut aid to the country.

They knew who was to blame for the US suddenly being tight with a nickel.

[DEATFBIRSECIA]

How did the Grand Canyon form?

A Jew dropped a quarter in a crack in Arizona.

[Rich]

Hillary Clinton called Trump a "creep" who made her "skin crawl."

As opposed to Bill, a "crawl" who made her "skin creep".

[Fist of Etiquette]

Hank Aaron says he's boycotting the NFL over its treatment of Colin Kaepernick.

What did the NFL do to Kaepernick again?

[BestUsedCarSales]

I heard they called him a lamer.

[Libertymike]

Where was Hank with regard to Tebow being "blackballed"?

Kaepernick was 3-16 the last two seasons. I repeat, for emphasis, 3-16. In what meritocracy does the equivalent of 3-16 merit even an opportunity for a job interview, never mind a job guarantee?

Going 3-16 ranks among the most putrid of quarterback performances in the history of the NFL. Sure, if Tom Brady or Peyton Manning or Johnny fucking U. or Joe Montana or Brett Favre or Dan Marino or Johnny "This one's for John" Elway had a 3-16 stretch, one could understand. But Colin Kaepernick?

One guy who was considered some what of a bust before he won two Super Bowls was Jim Plunkett. But he did not have a 3-16 stretch.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Jim...Flunkett.

No?

AT LEAST I'M TRYING.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

See...that's funny.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Jim PUNKett.

[BestUsedCarSales]

It seems that his protest will be benefit him in the long run.

[Mickey Rat]

Kaepernick had, for all intents and purposes, already lost his starting job before he started kneeling during the national anthem. I suspect he was more pouting than anything really political initially.

Also, some in the sports press accused NFL owners of collusion for not giving Ray Rice a job after his suspension for punching out his then girlfriend (later wife). That was after a concerted effort vy t he press ti make the man's name toxic.

Sports reporters have a definite adversarial relationship with NFL ownership and administration.

[The Last American Hero]

They apparently blackball BLM supporters, like Michael Bennett, Marshawn Lynch, oh wait, shit.

OK, they apparently blackball broken, headcase QB's whose name is only now remembered due to grandstanding rather than on the field performance.

[Fuck You - Cut Spending]

If your on-field performance is that bad, you'd probably prefer to be remembered for something else.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

I think it's hilarious that columnists at ESPN and the like were bending over backwards last year claiming that the NFL's ratings drop wasn't due to the SJW posturing by some of the players, and now that more of them are getting involved over a mediocre QB whose talent isn't worth the circus, suddenly the NFL has a problem on its hands.

I don't have a problem with them taking a knee in protest, but anyone who thinks this particular evolution of it has anything substantive to it is kidding themselves. These are guys who figured out a way to get the jock-sniffing sports journalists they despise to kiss their ass and set the stage for the next labor showdown, not "social justice" in any respect.

The idea that Kaepernick is owed a job because of his social stances is downright stupid. It's the equivalent of people arguing that Tebow isn't quarterbacking in Jacksonville because of he flaunts his Christianity.

[Libertymike]

But Tebow did not have a 3-16 stretch. In fact, the only year in which he was reluctantly given the reins, he got his team to the playoffs and he remains the only NFL quarterback to win his first playoff game with a touchdown pass in OT.

[Mickey Rat]

The consensus on Tebow wss he was the wrong fit for the pro game at QB (no matter what his win-loss record was). Kaepernick was one of those players, along with Griffin that was supposed to change how the QB position was played forever. The press really does not like to let go of their darlings.

[Liberty =><= Equality]

Knowshon Moreno, the Broncos' stout defense, and a weak division got that team to the playoffs.

The Steelers' Pro Bowl safety Ryan Clark couldn't play in the playoff game at Denver because of sickle cell anemia, and the winning throw went to that part of the field of course.

A week after they got smoked by the Patriots of course.

[Bubba Jones]

The same could be said if Elway's Super Bowl rings.

I think the truth is that Tebow actually has better things to do than most athletes.

[Rich]

After intimate pat-down, she wonders how much privacy must we give up to fly safely?

"I told her I felt humiliated," MacFarlane said. "She told me she was surprised that I'd never been searched before."

Stay classy, TSA.

[BestUsedCarSales]

They're the true representation of baseless authority.

[Marty Feldman's Eyes]

"She told me she was surprised that I'd never been searched before."

Got the same treatment once when I was detained by a cop. Gaslighting is standard procedure.

[Fist of Etiquette]

A crime writer in China who was planning a book on a killer author has been accused of murder.

So be warned all you Reason contributors: book research is a crime in China!

[BestUsedCarSales]

Is that what happened to Robby 🙁

Lobert E. Research?

A hurricane warning has been issued for Texas.

Don't mess up Texas.

[Spartacus]

It's just a watch, not a warning. Yet.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

This is what happens when Stossel criticizes Al Gore.

[Rich]

Trump visited Reno for a mellower rally, calling for healing as protesters marched outside.

He said "heeling". Sad.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Is that the Scala & Kolacny Brothers version of alt-text?

[Fist of Etiquette]

President Trump visited Reno for a mellower rally, calling for healing as protesters marched outside.

He knows who else marched.

[Citizen X - #6]

The Shriners?

[Rich]

Ah, but did *he* march mellow?

[BestUsedCarSales]

He was gamboling through Reno like that guy in the R. Crumb "Just Keep Trucking" print.

[Rufus The Monocled]

"Hank Aaron says he's boycotting the NFL over its treatment of Colin Kaepernick."

/Shrugs shoulders.

I'm not.

Go Eagles.

/furiously waves Eagles t-shirt topless in front of neighbours.

[Libertymike]

If Hank had hit the equivalent of Kaepernick's 3-16 record the last two seasons, Al Downing would not be the answer to a trivia question and 714 would still mean something.

[Charles Easterly]

Go Eagles.

The Eagles?

Exciting video game news for all those who were my age when the Dreamcast came out.

Shenmue 3's first trailer has dropped.

Whether or not the graphics are an intentional throwback to the Dreamcast/Xbox Shenmues or if it's just technical incompetence I do not know. It is exciting for me nontheless. If you are not excited, you are a GOD DAMNED PLEBIAN WHO DOESN'T APPRECIATE ART.

Excuse me your majesty, not all of us were able to afford three different consoles.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I will not excuse you for being a poor-fag plebian.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Does anyone else feel suspicious about that Chinese author's case? He both immediately confessed, then confessed again in a letter to his wife. I don't think I trust Chinese authorities enough to take that at face value.

Regardless, he'll probably die in a gulag now.

[Zeb]

Yes.

Gulag, or bullet in the head that his wife has to pay for?

[Conchfritters]

Hey, someone needs his liver, heart, kidneys, other parts.

[Fuck You - Cut Spending]

Confession was gained from the Leed Technique.

[Old Mexican's Speedos]

In her new book, Hillary Clinton called Trump a "creep" who made her "skin crawl."

She's just saying that because Cheeto-man refused to grab her pu...y.

[Conchfritters]

So did Bill - can you blame the guy?

[loveconstitution1789]

That a vagina, its a snuke.

[loveconstitution1789]

Thats *not* a vagina, its a snuke.

[Old Mexican's Speedos]

Egypt has canceled meetings with Jared Kushner to protest the U.S. decision to cut aid to the country.

It's so refreshing to see Cheeto-man's administration all singing in key and with at the same beat...

Some real news for a change: This Guy Was Suspended From Twitter After Tweeting "I'd Fuck That Tiger" At The Tony The Tiger Account

Earlier this month, the Tony the Tiger Twitter account tweeted out a GIF of milk being poured into a bowl of Frosted Flakes. They tagged the post with #Blushing and commented on how attractive the cartoon tiger looked on the box.

A 30-year-old Twitter user named Alex Boivin then replied to the tweet with "I'd fuck that tiger."

A few weeks after Boivin said that he'd fuck Tony the Tiger, he was alerted by Twitter's support team that his account would be suspended for a week.

(that's all you need to know, but go ahead and click the link if you like)

[BestUsedCarSales]

What did he do wrong?

[EscherEnigma]

Morally or according to Twitter?

Morally? That's up to you and your choice of deity and/or moral system.

According to Twitter? IIRC, the problem is that the cereal's Twitter account was followed by a bunch of kids and the guy should have known that his tweet would be read by said kids, and that was inappropriate.

Unless this is a new case of Twitter taking action against a furry for sending lewd comments to Tony the Tiger. So that might just be what happened last time and this incident is different.

[BestUsedCarSales]

That's a bit obscure on their point to now put presumptions of your audience on who you talk to. Seems like that is squarely on Kellogg.

But can he do The Creep?

[Charles Easterly]

RS,

Tying with Ed's earlier article and Alt-Text, I provide you this link to an individual's attempt to cover Radiohead's song "Creep."

[Charles Easterly]

Alternately....

[EscherEnigma]

"A crime writer in China who was planning a book on a killer author has been accused of murder."
... I'm pretty sure I saw that episode on Castle. And Murder She Wrote. And probably elsewhere.

So, fact stranger then fiction? With China, we'll never know...

[Jerryskids]

Didn't Stephen King write this book? I think Richard Bachman might have written it, too.

[SoberPhobic]

If only HRC wrote her book in China.

Reason has nothing to say about the Daily Stormer being bitwashed from our cyber memories.I had never read that web site but it was in the most recent news cycle, so I did direct my browser to it recently out of curiosity of what I might be missing.

Yup, it's gone. Why? Would something bad happen to me if I did read it?

[Bubba Jones]

Funny story. I learned a few years ago that if you google almost anything about 22 caliber rifles you will get a lot of Stormfront hits.

I have no idea why.

[John C. Randolph]

And surely, being so creeped out by Trump, she returned every penny he'd ever given her over the years, right?

-jcr

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Nothing to say at all.

Hey, Reason commenting system? Fuck you!

Please Bannon turn out to be gay and also mexican and muslim.

[Ayuleen]

So that someone can declare fatwa on him?

[DRM]

So, when's Colin Kaepernick signing with a CFL team?

[Liberty =><= Equality]

They're afraid he'll squat during Oh Canada. And they have 110 yard fields, because everything's bigger and more deserted in Canada.

[DRM]

It's like I said about Tebow. The CFL is an opportunity to keep in shape and practice, against near-NFL talent (half the league, basically, is ex-NFL), while performing before cameras for highlight reel footage, while trying to get signed for next year.

That is, if you really are an NFL-caliber quarterback and you really want to play in the NFL.

If you aren't an NFL-caliber player and you want to admit that, well, sure, you can go sit on your ass for a season. But then don't go whine about not being given a chance to play in the NFL if you do. You've demonstrated you don't think you're worth one.
