A meeting between Sen. Chuck Schumer (D ? N.Y.) and President Trump intended to avoid a government shutdown ended in “progress”, but no definitive agreement.

The president was distracted by the breasts.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Mooby they can get along this time.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

[Citizen X - #6]

Dude, put your shirt back on.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

I guess I’m gonna have to eat this fried chicken by myself.

[puts shirt back on]

[Rufus The Monocled]

This is not very mature.

[Anomalous]

Maybe Trump’s jealous because Schumer has bigger ones than his?

Should have gone for the Iran deal, Senator.

Somebody got grabbed by the pussy, but it’s not clear who.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

It’s like that M.C. Escher etching of the two hands drawing each other.

[Rich]

Or that etching of the self-licking ice-cream cone.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Supreme Court will evaluate the legality of Trump’s current travel ban.

How about they vet all legislation, regulation and executive order for constitutionality?

[Citizen X - #6]

Because there’s only nine of them and only 24 hours in a day.

[Fist of Etiquette]

It would be a shame if there was a backlog of laws waiting to be enacted.

[Citizen X - #6]

The resulting increase in hysteria around Supreme Court appointments would certainly be something.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

“Because there’s only nine of them and only 24 hours in a day.”

Ethyl “Red, Red Wine” Ginsboig still counts?

Why not head on over to the Woman’s March 2.0.

Maybe get lucky.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Good, march on into the kitchen and make me a sammich

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

[makes sammich, with no bacon]

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Where’s…the bacon? *has sad*

[Zeb]

For some reason, now I’m thinking about the abortion episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

[loveconstitution1789]

Because its a great episode, you breeder!

[Microaggressor]

Abortion for some, and miniature hammer and sickle flags for others!

[Conchfritters]

I’m sure one of them is probably hot. Also, lesbians.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

[shakes fist at the sky]

Britches!!!!

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

Fist didn’t do nuffin man.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I always come away dizzy.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

You’re doing it too much.

[Rich]

the mission of the Women’s March is to promote increased access to reproductive healthcare services, women’s rights in general, LGBTQ rights, ending violence against minority groups and a host of progressive causes.

Shouldn’t that be a “hostess”?

*** ducks ***

[Fist of Etiquette]

Hyst.

[Microaggressor]

Are gulags technically a progressive cause?

[Citizen X - #6]

No, just an end result.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

“Intended Consequence.”

[Rhywun]

So it’s really a Leftist March – at least they’re open about it this time.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

Dude, the term is greeter. Also acceptable is “too dumb to be a server.”

[Rich]

A meeting between Sen. Chuck Schumer (D ? N.Y.) and President Trump intended to avoid a government shutdown ended in “progress”

IOW, nada on DACA.

[Gojira]

Uh, look – I still visit the site almost daily just to follow stories & such, and read comments, even though I don’t comment myself here anymore (this one being the exception), but I just had to pop in and say this:

After seeing yet another string of bizarre Hihn comments, I can firmly state that Michael Hihn is a fucking weirdo who makes zero sense and fucks up every thread he touches, adding no contribution. He just spouts nonsense about old surveys, and when anyone calls him on it, he calls them bullies and accuses them of aggression. Despite that fact that half the time he’s already called them names himself!

In conclusion, Michael Hihn is a fucking weird nut and I can’t stand him and hope he steps in front of a bus. Not really, but kinda sorta really.

[Citizen X - #6]

Great, you just summoned him to the Links thread. Thanks a lot.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

Gojira! Good to hear from you. I find Hihn entertaining in the “a baboon escaped from the zoo” kind of way: you enjoy reading about its antics while hoping you do not find it on your driveway.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Do Tony and Palin now.

[Pro Libertate]

I swear this is just like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and I’m the only one left. Maybe pod people don’t want brain tumors? I dunno.

[Johnny Hit n Run Paulene]

Tony and Shrike can do each other, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

[Bacon-Magic glib reasonoid]

*screams GOJIRA and runs*

[Kivlor]

No! Come back to commenting JJ! You are needed here!

You know, I was going to post something similar to this in the PM links today after going back and reading a string of Hihn comments today. It’s just insanity. You beat me to it.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Hihn makes me miss Reasonable more than anything in this world.

[Slumbrew]

Haven’t any of you nerds fixed Reasonable to deal with the site changes yet? My JS is for shit, but I started to poke at it.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

I wouldn’t even know how to begin … but hopefully someone who is sympathetic to the victims of Hihnsification does …

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Well, someone has a high opinion of himself.

[Crusty Juggler]

I can firmly state that Michael Hihn is a fucking weirdo who makes zero sense and fucks up every thread he touches, adding no contribution.

It’s the only way to comment.

[Rich]

Menendez hailed the mistrial as a victory. “To those who were digging my political grave so they could jump into my seat, I know who you are and I won’t forget you,” he said at the time.

“You’ll be sleeping with the goddamn fish–I mean, I won’t contribute to your campaign funds.”

[Citizen X - #6]

He sounds like a solid citizen and all-around nice guy.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

… or so the Dominican under-age hookers say.

[Tony]

POTUS saw the WaPo survey showing a large majority will blame Republicans and himself for a shutdown and decided he couldn’t escape to Florida and blame it all on Dems later. Nobody takes his golf away. McConnell better be careful he doesn’t shart the deal into Liz Warren’s wet dream. I know how it feels to really need your weekend.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

“No plans this weekend? Why not head on over to the Woman’s March 2.0.”

Well, i was planning on reading and commenting on the Friday PM Linques, but, thanks, Britches, that took all of 20 seconds.

40 words, a sad new record.
