Leans to the right.

[Rat on a train]

On a filly?

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

He should have rode an Arabian thoroughbred just to keep 'em guessing.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

[Tom Bombadil]

Voting for the libertarian candidate has been elevated from a "Fuck You" vote to a "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on" vote.

[Citizen X - #6]

My mind wants to read all of the links as a single cohesive story, and it actually works pretty well.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Yankit diddle dandy

[Brandybuck]

It was a thirteen year old mare...

[Scotticus Finch]

I'll allow it. I was savage about Obama's jump shot and bicycle-riding.

[Citizen X - #6]

Also his mom-jeans.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

So alpha.

[Bubba Jones]

And his shooting

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

I lean right(pimp style) and I still don't like Moore. The party of Stupid should've just taken the 2 year lump and waited for next election.

[Bubba Jones]

Except incumbents always win.

[Sigivald]

The locals in Alabama don't care what the national GOP thinks, and they don't want to "let the Democrat win" just because Moore's a sack of excrement.

Especially since the Democrat probably disagrees with them a lot more on policy, as opposed to "personally not being a sack of excrement".

Which one, "personally being good" or "having policy preferences they prefer", do grown-ass adults care about more in an elected official...?

It's not like the Progressives aren't going to continue having an eternal hate-on for Alabama Republicans, no matter what they do, for being The Wicked Racist Other Forever Because Shut Up.

[Elias Fakaname]

I'm sure the de icrat is personally a piece of crap too. All marxists are.

[Fist of Etiquette]

New York Senator Kristin Gillibrand accused President Trump of a "sexist smear" for saying over Twitter that she "would do anything" for campaign contributions.

Trump's never called a man anything like lightweight or flunky! Senators would never "do anything" for contributions! (She's no doubt sending an email to gather donations off this very thing.)

[timbo]

The tweet should be; "what would these women do to be president?"

Those whores would line up for a capital gang bang for that power.

[Rufus The Monocled]

"I would do a bukkake but NEVER a gangbang! HOW DARE HE?!"

[Bubba Jones]

Presidential knee pads.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Kinda depressing they can't even come up with some good dirt. Sad.

[Mickey Rat]

She would do anything for contributions, but she won't do THAT!

Oh come on, Trump said she would do anything, not anyone.

[Red Tony]

So beastiality and necrophilia are on the menu, but not fat guys.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Reviews are in for The Last Jedi and apparently it's pretty good.

I kind of want to pretend that I have enough knowledge of Star Wars to scoff, but for once I am going to be honest. Does anyone here care that much?

[Citizen X - #6]

I can't imagine that it would be any good now that Leonard Nimoy is dead.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

They'll bring him back.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Not 'til the third movie though. After they kill Darth Khan but before they fight the humpback whales.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Khhhhhhaaaaaannnnnn ENB bring me a sammich?

[Bra Ket]

wait this isn't the third one?

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

I will not care until there is a transgender Jedi with a light saber pan-sexual proto-peen.

[Rat on a train]

Ooh. How about a rainbow light saber?

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

How about a rainbow light saber?

Ultrasabers.com already has this power.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

The force is strong with me.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

I'm in it for Johnson, and I guess Driver, that's about it. Maybe Hamill, too, he's a cool cat.

I feel like heading out for some pork.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

Gary Johnson is in the new Star Wars? Well......I guess we know now why he isn't running again. What role does he play?

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Jar Jar Hayek.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Threadwinner.

[Sigivald]

Not Darth Rothbard?

[Elias Fakaname]

And he hails from Mos Aleppo.

[The Last American Hero]

He's the Stormtrooper that doesn't need to see any identification - because roadblock checkpoints are a violation of natural rights enshrined in the constitution.

[Tom Bombadil]

He's the free thinking Senator who ends up endorsing the evil Palpatine just before the election.

[OpenBordersLiberal-tarian]

Absolutely! The new Star Wars films are better than the original trilogy, because they are more diverse. The main characters in both The Force Awakens and Rogue One are young women, for example.

Some fanboys of the OT dismiss TFA as a rehash of plot elements and scenes from earlier movies, but they're just unable to accept the new and improved Star Wars made for a diverse, multicultural audience. TFA is much better than Empire Strikes Back, and I expect The Last Jedi will be as well.

[I am the 0.000000013%]

I'm old enough to remember when people went to films because of plots and to be entertained. Those sad, sad, unenlightened days.

[OpenBordersLiberal-tarian]

Oh yes, the days of "colorblind" casting where by sheer coincidence, almost every protagonist was a white cis-male.

[Elias Fakaname]

"Oh yes, the days of "colorblind" casting where by sheer coincidence, almost every protagonist was a white cis-male."

Those were certainly better days.

[jcw]

It's really weird to be so focused on the diversity of the casting. Is it good acting? Is it a good story? If so, then who the fuck cares? This is such a non-starter for me. Anybody under 21 watches this and I can promise you that "diversity" is not on their mind.

It's like that South Park episode with the racist flag. The kids just didn't get why it was racist because they just saw some people hanging other people.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm pretty skeptical about a lot of calls to racism, though probably less than a lot here. But even I raised an eyebrow in the last movie where hang a character from a space tree while shouting "KILL THE MARK OF CAIN KILL THE MARK OF CAIN." I don't know if the character being black was just a coincidence but it still seemed out of place.

[mad.casual]

Who doesn't appreciate a few dozen sand people murdered in bloody vengeance?

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Anybody under 21 watches this and I can promise you that "diversity" is not on their mind.

I'm fairly certain this might be all that some focus their mind on.

[jcw]

I can't not focus on brienne of tarth (star wars style).

[Elias Fakaname]

Go to a website like Bleeding Cool. It's a full red alert on progressive bullshit.

[Bubba Jones]

The first priority should be to prove they can make good movies without using any rapists.

[Rat on a train]

You are asking for too much. Can we compromise by limiting to one per production? Two if they are both really talented and split between cast and crew.

[CE]

I'm pretty sure everyone in Star Wars is an alien, and many of them are illegal.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Nobody ever asks R2-D2's gender, yet its mannerisms are that of a sassy black woman.

[Tom Bombadil]

Those clicks are the closest the engineers could get to snaps.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Good socks don't let their own hang-ups bleed through.

[Citizen X - #6]

This isn't a good sock.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

That's the implication.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm pretty sure it's just Crusty.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

No doesn't fit...think it's eddie or daijal/buttplug.

[BestUsedCarSales]

It seems too... purposefully humorous for Buttplug. I read the posts as if the writer is in on the joke though, maybe I'm wrong there.

Haven't seen Eddie for a bit though, so maybe. The writing style just feels Crusty like to me, but I don't know if he ever really uses different accounts.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Huh, I hadn't put enough thought into it to think that it could be a parody of a parody.

You're blowing my mind, Bucsy.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

Now THAT would be brilliant. But I think this just one of the righteous butthurt.

[Crusty Juggler]

The writing style just feels Crusty like to me

Am I that fucking bland?

[Jimbo]

If you have to ask...

[Kivlor]

I haven't seen Eddie since the Glibbening. I hadn't considered that handle might be him lol

[BestUsedCarSales]

Nah, he's been back. Goes by Eidde now because someone parked on the Eddie name.

[Kivlor]

Wait, that's the real Eddie? I couldn't tell... damn. Now I feel retarded.

[Atlas Slugged]

I'm sure this is sarcasm....right?

[Arizona_Guy]

****Spoiler Alert*****

Luke was Bruce Willis all along!

[Eek Barba Durkle]

That's not the twist.

[CE]

If Luke were Bruce Willis the First Order would have just given up.

[Arizona_Guy]

I'm sure it will be a rehash of ESB. and I'm sure I'l see it anyway.

[Sigivald]

Since ESB was the best of the original films, I'd see it because of that...

[Arizona_Guy]

ESB was the one not written or directed by Lucas. Coincidence?

[Bubba Jones]

I don't care if it is good because I will see it even if it sucks.

Bring on Jar Jar.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Reviews are in for The Last Jedi and apparently it's pretty good.

Maybe they should have CGI'd in Carrie Fisher into the prequels, then. Because they weren't pretty good.

[timbo]

They should have CGI'd in drunken Carrie Fisher going apeshit with a light saber

[I am the 0.000000013%]

They could have just lifted her whole out of the Blues Brothers...

[Conchfritters]

Maybe her best movie - smokin hawt. I liked it when she used the bazooka to try and take them out when they got back to Elwood's place.

[Cunty Over Party]

You know who else tried to take out the Blues Brothers....

[Conchfritters]

Illinois Nazis, of course

[Fist of Etiquette]

Lots of public comments made to regulators are fakes...

CNN is commenting to regulators?

[Greg F]

Lots of public comments made to regulators are fakes...

I actually read a bunch of the pro NN comments. What I gathered is they are faking that they knowing anything about it.

[I am the 0.000000013%]

It would be fun to see what the reaction would be if it had been called "mid-20th century telephone regulation".

[OpenBordersLiberal-tarian]

New York Senator Kristin Gillibrand accused President Trump of a "sexist smear" for saying over Twitter that she "would do anything" for campaign contributions.

Drumpf grows more disgusting by the day. I have never heard the expressions "would do anything" or "will do anything" used to describe a man. They are gendered, sexist, misogynist attempts at slut-shaming.

On the positive side, I hope this increases Gillibrand's profile, because she is in my top 3 choices for the next President.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

Sluts should be celebrated. Jilted men are shooting themselves in the foot by promoting this habit.

[loveconstitution1789]

Lefties would do anything and will do anything to get their way.

[timbo]

Most whores are stupid chicks; leftists/Marxists/crybabies are, by display, incredibly stupid.

[Elias Fakaname]

They also have no souls, so are therefore not real humans. So anything you do to one of their kind is ok.

[loveconstitution1789]

"...she is in my top 3 choices for the next President."
Haha. Never happen. She was faking that she was a Yellow dog Democrat. She is now acting like a progressive which is code for socialist.

The Democrats are finished as a national party.

[OpenBordersLiberal-tarian]

It doesn't matter that Democrats lose the majority of states, or the majority of counties, or whatever you mean by "finished as a national party." The regions the Democrats win - typically the major urban areas - have such huge populations that they are almost guaranteed the popular vote in any Presidential election.

If Gillibrand or my other favorites Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris run against Drumpf in 2020, I'm sure the Dems will win the popular vote as usual. The trick will be in ensuring Russian hacking doesn't throw the electoral college to the Republicans again.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Russians swung the election?

SHA-WING!

[timbo]

The dems Have been the solutions party.

[The Last American Hero]

You know who else had a solution?

Sorry, too easy.

[CE]

Was it final though?

[Kivlor]

Meh, this one wasn't up to par. You can do better.

[Sigivald]

The popular vote and two bucks gets you a cup of coffee.

But it doesn't get you a seat in the Oval Office.

[CE]

You need some Russian Facebook ads for that.

[Elias Fakaname]

OpenBorders is engaging in some type of parody performance art, right? The comment is just too stupid and cliche to be real. Even Tony's drivel isn't this concisely progtarded.

[CE]

I think he's mocking left-leaning libertarians.

[Stormy Dragon]

I think you mean Blue dog Democrat (a conservative leaning southern democrat), not a Yellow dog democrat (someone who would proverbially vote for a yellow dog is the Democratic party nominated it).

[I am the 0.000000013%]

On the positive side, I hope this increases Gillibrand's profile, because she is in my top 3 choices for the next President

The odds aren't bad, because I've heard she'll do anything for campaign contributions.

[OpenBordersLiberal-tarian]

Stop that!

[Elias Fakaname]

I'm pretty sure Gillinramd or Fauxcahontas would enthusiastically fellate someone like Teump for a million dollar comtribution. Progtards have no shame or self respect, or even feelings. Other than rage and envy..

[Ra's al Gore]

Tweets from Trump have already been found saying "will do anything" about men - Ted Cruz in particular.

[Bubba Jones]

Lyin Ted

[I am the 0.000000013%]

Like anyone would want Ted to do something...

[Griffin3]

OpenBordersLiberal-tarian "would do anything" to get some attention, wouldn't xe?

[Fist of Etiquette]

In 1965, while stationed with the US Army in South Korea by the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), Mr Jenkins decided to abandon his unit and defect to the North, fearing he would be killed in patrols or sent to fight in the Vietnam War.

He said he thought that once in North Korea, he could seek asylum with the Russian embassy, and eventually return to the US in a prisoner swap.

That is not a good plan.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

I mean if he were a hobbit I'd say the closer one is to danger the further they are from harm.

[timbo]

This is right up there with the crawling down the chimney robbery attempt.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

To his credit, he admits he was a complete retard. Funny though, he didn't come back saying, "Well yeah, the West isn't so great either."

Sounds more like breaking into the state pen because the county jail has bad food.

Roy Moore Rides a Horse (Poorly)
Says cowboy Christian Britschgi.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Those are riding britches, pay attention.

[jcw]

Love it. Don't like the content, mock the writer. Bravo.

[Sigivald]

Does the writer actually know what s/he is talking about?

Moore's a sack of crap, but that doesn't mean it's not worth mocking people who think how he rides a horse is relevant ... especially if they're not experts on the subject.

(I have no idea if Britschgi does or does not.)

[BestUsedCarSales]

Horses are always calm and manageable around Britschgi. They become infected with his aura of ennui and such are nearly impossible to startle.

[CE]

The horse already threw the alt-text, apparently.

[Rebel Scum]

Roy Moore rode to the polls on horseback today.

I hope that horse was of age.

Twitter took issue with his riding style.

Any man from AL who can't ride a horse ain't fit to be a senator.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

Do you think this stunt will help Moore win, or is he gonna come in a little behind?

[Rebel Scum]

Idk. He may yet trot across the finish line.

Well, would she?

Also, men whore themselves out too.

I take this to mean that it is actually awful. But they'll still get my $10 anyway.

[NotAnotherSkippy]

Any review that gushes over force awakens and doesn't mention rogue one is not a review that you care about.

[Sigivald]

Rogue One does not happen between TFA and TLJ, so ... why should it be mentioned?

It's another film set in the same universe, but otherwise unrelated.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

All things are connected through the force. (except for those non canon anti-force lizards that eat Jedi)

[CE]

Unrelated? How is the Resistance supposed to keep blowing up all these Death Stars if Rogue One hadn't stolen the original plans?

[Bubba Jones]

Meh. Rogue one was like a ridiculous video game. Run from place to place and flip giant switches.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

This is sadly accurate.

[Arizona_Guy]

I found it humorous that the Galactic Empire uses tape backup. In a single location

[Rat on a train]

This was a long time ago before the cloud.

[Mickey Rat]

The Empire is a giant sclerotic bureaucracy, it seems entirely accurate.

[Rebel Scum]

Charles Jenkins, a U.S. solider who defected to North Korea, died.

If he listened to Sean Connery he wouldn't have done defection backwards.

[loveconstitution1789]

New York Senator Kristin Gillibrand accused President Trump of a "sexist smear" for saying over Twitter that she "would do anything" for campaign contributions.

Actually, the tweet was:
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office "begging" for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!
How is that sexist to anyone who does not assume women only beg on their knees.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Seems more like a swampy politician jab but I'm not in the media so I can't translate the Donald as well as they can.

[Jerryskids]

I heard Roy Moore had the horse strapped to the roof of his car.

[Citizen X - #6]

That motherfucker.

[Citizen X - #6]

Twitter took issue with his riding style.

Based on the picture, so did his ride. That is NOT the body posture of a horse that isn't freaking out.

[Stormy Dragon]

In the NOT HELPING department, Roy Moore's wife spoke at his final campaign rally:

Roy Moore's wife: He's no bigot, one of our lawyers 'is a Jew'

"Fake news would tell you that we don't care for Jews. And I tell you all this because I've seen it and I just want to set the record straight while they're here," Kayla Moore said Monday night in rural Alabama. "One of our attorneys is a Jew."

[BestUsedCarSales]

Haha. Oh, this world of ours. I'm glad that we have more politicians popping up who suck at the aspect of keeping up a clean face. Saves me the effort of just having to assume their assholes.

[timbo]

Neocons are nothing if not tolerant.

[Stormy Dragon]

Also, one of his war buddies showed up to play drunk-best-man-at-the-wedding-reception:

BANNON, A BROTHEL, AND A "JEW" LAWYER: ROY MOORE'S FINAL DISASTROUS RALLY READS LIKE A BAD JOKE

Staehle said that, when he and Moore arrived, they soon realized the man had taken them to a brothel. The third man, Staehle suggested, essentially tricked them. "I could tell you what I saw, but I don't want to," Staehle said mischievously.

"There were certainly pretty girls. And they were girls. They were young. Some were very young," Staehle acknowledged. But according to Staehle, Moore was shocked by what he saw. "We shouldn't be here, I'm leaving," Moore said, according to Staehle.

They asked the third man to leave with them, but he didn't want to. So Staehle and Moore took his Jeep and left him there all night with sex workers, who they agreed were underage. The man returned to base the next morning on the back of a motorcycle, Staehle said with a grin.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Amazing. I don't even have to give an opinion on any of that to comment on the amazing lack of awareness that shows.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Oh god, it just gets better.

Jake Tapper: "Does [Moore] think homosexual conduct should be illegal?"
Campaign Spokesman: "...Probably."

[BestUsedCarSales]

We have to elect him to find out what he stands for.

[mad.casual]

I thought we needed an ethics investigation to find that out?

[BestUsedCarSales]

YOU CAN'T DO AN ETHICS INVESTIGATION ON A PRIVATE CITIZEN. Jeez

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

He should call for his own ethics investigation.

[Stormy Dragon]

In same interview, the campaign spokesman said you have to be Christian to hold office because you're sworn in on a Bible.

[Bubba Jones]

Lol

I wonder how many of his staffers are divorced. Jesus said divorced women can't remarry and it is the ex husband's fault.

Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuality.

[Agammamon]

Remember - the New Testament supercedes the Old Testament.

Except when it doesn't.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

"One of our attorneys is a Jew."

I trust you'll have the decency not to mention this at the country club...

[Stormy Dragon]

I also don't know if this is just our local dialect of English, but around here "X is Jewish" has a very different connotation than "X is a Jew".

[BestUsedCarSales]

It's weird, where I grew up it's basically entirely based on intonation. It's probably a bit brusque in polite company, but you could say "a lot of the kids in my class are jews" and it wasn't a slur.

[Conchfritters]

I went to a bar mitzva when I was 13 and ate mahi-mahi and drank white wine spritzers - those guys are great!

Heh - I'm pretty sure even the KKK contracts with a Jew Accounting Firm to do its books.

If I know anything about modern day journalism, it's that this was decided long before any critic saw the movie.

[jcw]

Do modern day journalists really like Star Wars?

[BestUsedCarSales]

I think everyone does. It seems to be a pretty widespread cultural phenomenon. One reason why you should mock people who act as if the movies are particularly nerdy.

[jcw]

I won't disagree with you, but I was just curious if that's what half-virtue, half-vice "knows about modern day journalism" or if he was implying something else

[BestUsedCarSales]

Got it, didn't even make the connection. Just not paying enough attention today.

[Half-Virtue, Half-Vice]

Do modern day journalists really like Star Wars?

Not so much. More-so that mainstream journalists coordinate with each other to formulate a non-contradictory narrative before any ink hits the page.

I live in that Phoenix suburb. The one with the golf courses and the strip malls and the houses with tile roofs and stucco walls.

I did live in Mesa for quite a while, which is why I commented on the Police shooting article.

It would seem there is a huge opening for a gay couple to open a cake show that would cater to same sex weddings, but sad they are all forced to choose from the one and only cake shop in the State of Arizona, and sadly it's owned by a bigoted asshole.

[Conchfritters]

Show=shop

[BestUsedCarSales]

Yeah, Phil's a total douchebag.

[mad.casual]

Huge openings and fairer options not gay enough, find a way to make gay cake shops legal through tight legal maneuvering and backdoor deals and there will be dozens within a week.

99, but there is a pesky write in Libertarian in the race.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

In Unanimous city council vote (is there any other kind?), Seattle imposes restrictions on AirBnB and other 'short term rentals'. Usual suspects exempt because social justice.

[Rat on a train]

other 'short term rentals'
So prostitution is prohibited but cohabitation is still allowed?

[BestUsedCarSales]

By limiting the number of homes that property owners can operate as short-term rentals for visitors, can Seattle preserve its housing stock for locals?

I find it hard to sigh hard enough at this question.

[Sigivald]

"What do you mean the FCC will notice we're all using the same text and take us less seriously?!"

I can't imagine why people think - and many of them sincerely seem to - that any regulator would take essentially spammed zero-thought zero-effort "comments" seriously; I wouldn't, even if they happened to agree with me.

I especially enjoy, however, using the pop-up annoyance "fill in this comment to send to the FCC" forms I've seen on some websites to send them a pro-removal-of-rule comment, that I actually hand-write and that references the actual issues.

Leverage their tools against them.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Ah, Britches.

You just had to disappoint on "Roy Moore Day".

I predict that Moore is going to win by a way bigger margin than predicted because of the reverse Bradley Effect in Moore's favor.
