GOP Vs. Trump on Tariffs, 'Pharma Bro' Ordered to Forfeit Millions, All About That Steele Dossier Guy: P.M. Links

• 

  Lucas Jackson/REUTERS/Newscom

  Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan are very concerned about President Donald Trump's call for steel and aluminum tariffs, but Trump says he's not backing down. He said even our neighbors in Canada and Mexico might not be exempt.

• A judge has ordered "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli to forfeit $7.36 million to the government for his fraud conviction, including his one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album.
• So who is this Christopher Steele guy behind that now infamous Trump dossier, anyway?
• An escort from Belarus looking for asylum in the United States says that she has hours of recordings that shed light on Russian meddling in the United States presidential election in 2016. She's currently in jail in Bangkok for plying her trade without a valid permit or visa and is afraid of getting sent back to Russia.
• Former Trump aide Sam Nunberg has been summoned before a grand jury investigating that Russian election meddling but says he's refusing to go.
• An immigrant from Mexico in the United States illegally confessed to using a stolen identity to get more than $350,000 in federal benefits over the course of 37 years.
• A man was arrested for allegedly stealing Frances McDormand's best actress Academy Award, which was apparently taken from her last night at the Governors Ball. She has been reunited with the trophy.

...Trump says he's not backing down.

And Petty is no longer with us to complain about the usage.

[Fist of Etiquette]

A judge has ordered "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli to forfeit $7.36 million to the government...

The government being the chief victim.

[Juice]

The value of the assets to be forfeited will then be applied to satisfying the amount Shkreli has to fork over to the government after "the resolution of any third-party claims" to the assets, the judge said in her ruling Monday.

If anyone is a third party here, it's the government, but they don't say how much is going to the people he defrauded and how much the government is keeping just because it can.

[Fist of Etiquette]

...she has hours of recordings that shed light on Russian meddling in the United States presidential election in 2016.

In White Russia, whore f*** you.

[Libertarian]

White Russians are associated with "special lady friends", not "whores."

[Palin's Buttplug]

Elvis Presley running for Congress as a libertarian:

https://goo.gl/rqvEsu

Elvis D. Presley performs shows as the late superstar Elvis A. Presley, but he's also now filed to run as the Libertarian nominee challenging Arkansas Republican Rep. Rick Crawford.

Both men filed paperwork Monday to run for the 1st Congressional District in eastern Arkansas. Crawford has represented the area for four terms.

[Anomalous]

Never underestimate the popularity of Elvis in Arkansas.

[Eek Barba Durkle]

Elvis is a fairly prominent member of our party here. Not sure why this is news.

[Citizen X - #6]

It's just weird being reminded that Arkansas exists.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Former Trump aide Sam Nunberg has been summoned before a grand jury investigating that Russian election meddling but says he's refusing to go.

How is this ballsy individual a former Trump aide?

Peter Beinart lives in a very special world. No one he knows has ever even owned a gun.

[Anomalous]

The CNN "town hall" was no such thing. It was a Two Minutes Hate with Dana Loesch as Emmanuel Goldstein.

[John]

That article is another example of why The Onion isn't funny anymore. You can't satirize someone that stupid.

[mad.casual]

You can't satirize someone that stupid.

The problem is, more than half the Reason staff will take "But shift your lens from public policy to culture, and the last two weeks look very different." and run a train of cultural libertarianism over/on anyone who thinks the culture wars might have some bad outcomes.

[Trigger Warning]

I prefer a Two Minute Bate.

[chemjeff]

Only about 1/3 of Americans own guns, you know.

[Arizona_Guy]

Most of us know more than 3 people.

And thus ends Jimmy Kimmel's 15 minutes.

[mad.casual]

I heard a sound byte from it this morning with him delivering the joke about women being sexually harassed at everything they do and thought, "What an unusual thing to say for a man who's rise to fame started by hosting bits such as 'getting to know your juggies' and 'women jumping on a trampoline'."

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Yeah, The Man Show. Progressives seem to have short memories.

[Trigger Warning]

It's almost like they don't actually care!

[BigT]

Carolla carried him

[BestUsedCarSales]

Nah, he was great. And he was great on Win Ben Stein's Money. And even his talk show was good. I haven't seen it in awhile and maybe it has gone downhill, but he's been pretty funny.

[John C. Randolph]

This may be a crazy idea, but what if they hired host for next year's oscars who's funny?

An immigrant from Mexico in the United States illegally confessed to using a stolen identity to get more than $350,000 in federal benefits over the course of 37 years.

If you're going to confess to something, always confess illegally.

[Rich]

Dammit, Fist!

[Fist of Etiquette]

When will you learn.

[SIV]

$350,000 buys a lot of crab legs.

[Rich]

So now immigrants are illegally *confessing*, too?

[John]

The comma is such a harsh mistress.

Stop Clubbing, Baby Seals

[John]

I think seals should be able to club all they want.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free ice floe..."

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

As opposed to "Stop clubbing, baby, seals!", which was an entirely different kind of episode.

[Bubba Jones]

"puncuation"?

[Bubba Jones]

"puncuation"?

[Rich]

Almost as bad as semicolons.

[John]

Semicolons are the dominatrixes of the grammar world.

[Rich]

Perhaps; but many people like them.

[John]

Dominatrixes are quite popular as well.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

They are under-utilized?

[loveconstitution1789]

You may be right; you may be wrong.

The Death Wish remake has given various douche bag movie reviewers a case of the vapors worse than the original gave them. It is just propaganda for gun ownership!! The horror.

[colorblindkid]

God, even the short Rotten Tomatoes summary explicitly states it's bad because of the timing and political message. Fuck those guys.

[John]

I can think of no better time to make a movie reminding people of how often Cops won't help you and the need to be able to take matters into your own hands than after four cops stood outside and let some lunatic murder 17 kids in a high school.

[colorblindkid]

For every person killed by a white kid with an "assault rifle", 50 kids/young adults are killed by young black men with handguns, usually illegally obtained.

Do liberals really not think a "war on guns" will end up exactly like the War on Drugs, with more gang-related violence after all arms sales are forced to the black market, and even more black men in prison?

[John]

They don't think. And to the extent they do, they see more black men in prison as a good thing.

[colorblindkid]

There have been numerous pundits and journalists who explicitly state "black on black crime isn't a thing". They're fucking delusional. They've completely rewritten the origins of the War on Drugs, as if it was 100% an evil conservative plot to throw black men in prison, not a largely bipartisan and popular effort often pushed by black urban leaders and even many "progressives".

Most of the worst policies are done for good reasons with good intentions, and when disaster occurs, instead of acknowledging "we were wrong and short-sighted" they deny they ever had anything to do with it and it was an evil policy from the start. This only blinds us when the same exact things happen again.

[BigT]

It's all race according to colorblindkid.

[colorblindkid]

There are two distinct "gun cultures" in America, and liberals and the media only talk about one, and it is the one that is statistically far less deadly than the "gun culture" conservatives complain about.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

""Do liberals really not think a "war on guns" will end up exactly like the War on Drugs, with more gang-related violence after all arms sales are forced to the black market, and even more black men in prison?""

I've been pointing that out in various threads. I saw the illegal gun crack down that Giuliani started and Bloomberg continued. Stop and Frisk was one of the main tools.

[John]

Vic,

They wouldn't want it enforced on black people. They would declare a quota on black arrests and ensure only the right people were disarmed.

[Bubba Jones]

Blacks don't use AR-15s. They use handguns.

AR-15s are a political target because they symbolize 1) white male republicans and 2) the fear that something is going to happen to your child at school.

Cops pile on because rifles are disproportionately used in the killing of cops. Which is itself a rare thing.

AR-15 bans are the intersection of helicopter parenting and virtue signaling.

Blacks killing each other by the thousands is just icky. No one cares.

[Rich]

Ban socks full of quarters!

[Ska]

Can I keep my pillowcase full of sodas?

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

[BestUsedCarSales]

"This gut punch of a remake will drive SJWs crazy. That's just one of many reasons to see Eli Roth's latest."

I highlighted the actual reason not to see this movie.

[John]

I don't think that is a reason not to see the movie. If the movie is good, go see it. Why would you not see an otherwise good movie because doing so would make a bunch of assholes angry? That makes even less sense than going to it because of that.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Because Eli Roth means it will be garbage. It almost certainly guarantees it is garbage. This is backed up by every single one of his movies being atrocious.

[John]

I have no idea who that is or what movies he has made. So, I can't argue with you

[BestUsedCarSales]

Hostel, Cabin Fever.

[John]

Those looked pretty shitty.

[John]

The movie that is ripe for a remake is Dirty Hairy. Make the Scorpio Killer and Antifa type. That movie would be a license to print money today.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Sure. I have no problem with Death Wish. And Death Wish 3 is a classic fever dream of entertainment. But Eli Roth is a truly garbage director.

[Trigger Warning]

+1 drill in the knee

[MP]

Eli Roth is a shit director. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch The Green Inferno. Yeah, it's shit. But there are a couple of good gore scenes and laugh-out-loud moments that almost make it worth suffering through the rest of it. Oh, and it is a skewering of SJW numb-nuts, so it has that going for it too.

[mad.casual]

I highlighted the actual reason not to see this movie.

When I saw the preview a couple weeks ago I thought "Whomever cast Bruce Willis in this role is a retard."

I didn't realize how accurate I was.

The fact that critics are panning the movie for social awareness and messaging rather than the fact that it's going to be a poorly-made remake shows just how far Holywood has gone.

[Citizen X - #6]

A judge has ordered "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli to forfeit $7.36 million to the government for his fraud conviction, including his one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album.

I still think the prosecutors are working a long con at the behest of the Wu Tang Clan and Bill Murray.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

This will be the big twist on the eventual movie, which will also feature a re-enactment of Caesar's murder with Epipens.

[Fist of Etiquette]

A man was arrested for allegedly stealing Frances McDormand's best actress Academy Award, which was apparently taken from her last night at the Governors Ball.

First of all, he'd like to thank member of the Academy for the great honor, his mother and father, and last but not least the Governors Ball lax security. (They no doubt lacked the firearms to defend Oscar.)

[John]

How does one go about fencing a stolen Oscar?

Sell it to the guy who took Brady's jersey.

[$park? leftist poser]

Should be fairly easy, there's no way that statue is gonna hold a foil.

There were four other actresses looking for one.

[$park? leftist poser]

An immigrant from Mexico in the United States illegally confessed to using a stolen identity to get more than $350,000 in federal benefits over the course of 37 years.

Less than $10,000/year is not enough to put a dent in a narrative,

[John]

I am sure he is the only guy that did something like that Sparky. The only one.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

John is being double-sarcastic.

[loveconstitution1789]

The only illegal ever.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

""Less than $10,000/year is not enough to put a dent in a narrative,"'

Unless the narrative is that they don't do it at all.

[SIV]

Less than $10,000/year is not enough to put a dent in a narrative,

That's almost 3lbs of crab legs per day. If we abolished welfare demand would drop so much your cats would get sick of eating them.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Is there some stereotype about crab legs I don't know?

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

SIV is trying to breed a chicken with crab legs to supplement his income.

[loveconstitution1789]

Welfare queens eat lobster.

Welfare hombres eat crab legs.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Is this a stereotype about Mexican people?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

What kind of Latina connoisseur are you if you don't already know what your main target population eats?

[BestUsedCarSales]

It's part of my confusion. This is a whole stereotype I have literally never heard, and out of all the Mexican people I've known, known none with any particular love of crab legs.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Welp, if you've really never heard of this stereotype about immigrant welfare users that, like, everyone knows about but you, then I suppose there's no getting around it: you are not Reason's One True Libertarian commenter.

[BestUsedCarSales]

No, I know the welfare queen eating lobster. I don't get the crab leg pivot for Mexicans is all.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

A true libertarian would know that America's largesse toward the Caramel Invader means they haven't had to choose.

Trump blowback:

Liberal women won't date conservative men.

https://goo.gl/uEKNfk

He once brought a woman back to his place, and while checking out his bookshelf, she noticed some books by conservative thinkers, he says. "She was like, 'Oh no. First question: Did you vote for Trump?'," the reporter says. He told her no, but that he was conservative. "She was like 'I have to get out of here. I can't see you,' and left."

...

"We had a really nice time, but at the end of the date, he told me he didn't believe in global warming," she says. "I started laughing, because I'm from Colorado and didn't realize people actually didn't believe in global warming. But he was serious."

...

"I feel like they look at me and are like, here's a tall white dude with brown hair wearing loafers, and he probably has a picture of Reagan and the NRA in his bedroom or something," says one of the reporters from the conservative media company. "I just think they have a very hyperbolic view of what a conservative is."

[TrickyVic (old school)]

That's ok, most conservative men don't want a woman in a pussy hat anyway.

[John]

So Trump saved a bunch of men from dating feminists harpies who will likely ruin their lives. Is there anything that guy can't do?

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

I like to yell "I meant classical liberal!" as I come.

[neoteny]

This was outstanding.

[DJF]

Have you seen liberal women? This is good news for conservative men.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Famous liberal women are hotter than famous conservative women (who trend older).

Women tend to be much less political than men are.

[Eek Barba Durkle]

Women tend to be much less political than men are.

I have never - EVER - met a man who selected his friends, romantic interests and businesses used exclusively by if they are in the EXACT same political mindset as him.

With women, it's about 1/3 of them that do this.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Sure, but that is not what I meant.

I meant if you lined up all the highly opinionated political types in the US the vast majority would be male.

[Bubba Jones]

You obviously don't spend a lot of time talking to women.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Look, women are too stupid to hold strong opinions. PB is having a hard time saying it, but you also know that's what he means.

[Freddy the Jerk]

Hey butt-plugger, a moment's reflection: WTF does that statement imply about your estimation of the vast majority of women?

Anyway, I'm glad I married one smart enough to have opinions.

[Fancylad]

liberal women are hotter, conservative women trend older

Yes, Pelosi, Hillary, Lynch, Mathews Burwell, Jewell, Pritzker, Solis, Napolitano and Wasserman Schultz were all super hot young things.

If I was forced to bed someone and was given a choice of say 2008's Palin or Ivanka versus one of the above hotties, I know what I'd pick.

[mad.casual]

Women tend to be much less political than men are.

This is bankrupt on it's face. I think, at best, is the claim that they don't overtly claim to be as much or refute the notion more frequently. Otherwise, you would have to have avoided interaction with women for pretty much all of your life to think that they don't obsess about popularity contests, personal relationships, and social networks just as much if not more than men.

I freely admit that there are fewer female James Bond villains openly plotting to take over the world.

[TrickyVic (old school)]

""I wouldn't date some crazy bitch who makes politics about everything either. So there's that.""

Agreed. Doesn't matter if she's conservative or liberal.

[Rich]

Does your wife know?

[Red Tony]

...and this is different from before how?

News flash, there are also white women who won't date black men. Conservative women who won't date liberal men. Asian chicks who won't date Asian dudes. Hell, I'm a guy who refuses to sleep with women.

Based mainly on interviews with Acorn management and the DNC. Golly it's like you haven't noticed one is the DNC's House Organ and the other is the Propagandaministerium.

There was no voter fraud. That is wingnut CT.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Mike M.

Recently Domestic Dissident

A real wingnut type (like you)

[John]

The fact that they have never banned you is pretty definitive proof you are one of the current or former staffers sent here to troll.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Why would they ban me?

I actually agree with the editorial positions of Reason (even on immigration).

They did rip out a section of my posts once because they didn't want to get sued by someone famous I told on. (I won't go there again).

[John]

They would ban you because you are the worst troll on here not named Mary Stack.

[Palin's Buttplug]

You are the troll since you are a garden variety conservative.

I am an actual Cosmotarian like the Reason staff is accused of being (although I hate the term).

A cosmopolitan libertarian; a libertarian who holds socially liberal personal opinions about abortion, homosexuality, race, and other social issues. Compare to paleotarian.

[Citizen X - #6]

A.k.a. Blue Shreek.

[Citizen X - #6]

I mean Red Shreek. Dammit.

[John]

What did he do to get banned?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

I'm pretty sure it was the "Anthropocene Park" article last weekend- Mikey told Crusty he was going to use his "professional software engineering skills" (his words) to figure out who Crusty is IRL. I think the intern that clears out the spam saw it and banned him. But I don't know for sure.

[Citizen X - #6]

Just the other day, Mikey accidentally posted a link to the online continuing education catalog from whence he was obtaining said skills, so it's a legit threat maybe.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Continuing Education groups are a great value and an important way to develop ones skills.

[John]

Doxing people is the one thing they are pretty strict about, which they should be. If he did that, he deserved to get banned.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Yes, he doxed someone. Posted her (initials M S, if that gives you the idea) name and address.

[Red Tony]

Dang. I always thought DD was just a weirdo Weigel stalker. Doing that is just beyond the pale.

[John]

Does she even post on here anymore? IS she even alive? I always thought of her as more of a ghost and a legend.

[Unicorn Abattoir]

I don't think she's been here in years.

[loveconstitution1789]

"Doxing people is the one thing they are pretty strict about, which they should be. If he did that, he deserved to get banned."

All the reason staff's sock puppets would be exposed.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

That's fucking hilarious. Doubly so, because Crusty doesn't have an address.

[John]

How do you dox a sock puppet? I don't understand how that could work.

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Vans down by the river don't get addresses.

[Citizen X - #6]

Probably something to do with his tendency to pick badly-reasoned ad hominem fights with any Reason writer foolish enough to engage with his dumb ass.

[Citizen X - #6]

Haha, Simple Mikey got banned? That is hilarious.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

And someone accused me of being the snitch because I was mocking his memory in the Frankenstein article thread. So I had to clear my name.

[John]

Why did he get banned? What was there to snitch on him about?

[Citizen X - #6]

Who could possibly care about that?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Commenter: "Weigel's Cock-Ring". Who I suppose probably is Mikey returned, though he referred to himself in the third person, so maybe he's pretending to be someone new.

[Citizen X - #6]

That is Mikey's level of humor, so maybe.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Don't give him too much credit.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm not confident that he has the know-how to make a second e-mail account to sign up again.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Can't he just ask his mom who's upstairs?

[Zeb]

I think "Wiegel's cock ring" has been around before. So if it's not Mikey in another guise, it's an admirer of his. Which is even more frightening.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Oh, now I remember. He got banned for linking to photos of him frotting with a doll of Weigel made out of the corpse of his mother.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Oh, you don't have to kill a woman to make a doll out of her breasts and arms, I'm afraid.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Yeah, but it's a lot harder. And sadly, Mikey isn't one to pull off that procedure.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

I will grant you that when he introduced her to me, I did not think to look for signs of animatronic machinery in her mouth and eye sockets.

[BestUsedCarSales]

He can just ask though too. I got banned once for making a post so low quality it was autoflagged as spam, and I just asked the admin to unban me.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Reason has quality standards for posting? I had no idea. Guess I should cut back on the drunken rants.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

Yeah, he appeared some time before Mikey disappeared. But he is definitely not a new person.

[This Machine Chips Fascists]

Can we get "Hillary's clit-dong"'s opinion on this?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Sadly, it never says anything but "FREE ME" over and over again in a monosyllabic tone.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Can we get "Hillary's clit-dong"'s opinion on this?

Hey, The Buttplug set that trend.

[This Machine Chips Fascists]

There's no lack of your opinion around here.

Why are you denying something no one has accused you of?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Do you really not know who Steve Buscemi is?

[Palin's Buttplug]

I won't remember his last name tomorrow.

[Chipper Morning Baculum]

This is the worst thing you have ever said on here.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Already did.

What thousands and lives and billions of dollars could not accomplish, the allures of capitalism and the threat of China can.

[colorblindkid]

While American lefties are still whining about how evil American "colonization" was and why every single problem in the world is because of us, Russia and China are actively recolonizing the world.

[colorblindkid]

Like I want to get out of all of our wars as much as any libertarian, but our naive and stupid wars to try and "liberate" people and get friendly governments are not the same as aggressive wars of conquest to acquire new lands. America's the worst military empire ever. We spend billions conquering other countries, and instead of stealing their resources and wealth, we give them money and then they sell their resources to actually imperialistic nations.

[Palin's Buttplug]

Reminds me that Trump wanted to steal Iraq's oil reserves as payment for their "liberation".

Cochran to resign Senate seat.

Safe for TEAM RED no doubt. Unless they pull a Moore.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

Who?!

[loveconstitution1789]

Batshitcrazy signal to all lefties to attack attack!

One more Senator seat for Democrats and it will be tied 50/50.

The Universe will be in balance.

Well, Chris McDaniel is running again. You know, the guy who had his goons break into Thad Cochran's wife's nursing home to take pictures of her in order to prove some sort of affair. So there's hope for some Roy Moore-style shenanigans occurring here.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I can only hope we have someone as entertaining to listen to as Roy Moore again.

A man was arrested for allegedly stealing Frances McDormand's best actress Academy Award, which was apparently taken from her last night at the Governors Ball.

If you knowingly leave stuff lying around in what can only be described as a den of thieves, you get whatever you deserve.

Who does SYEVE SMITH like to pee on?

STEVE SMITH NOT PICKY. IF PRESSED...YOU.

An escort from Belarus looking for asylum in the United States says that she has hours of recordings that shed light on Russian meddling in the United States presidential election in 2016. She's currently in jail in Bangkok for plying her trade without a valid permit or visa and is afraid of getting sent back to Russia.

WTH? All the lukewarm satire from Open-Borders Libertarian and when the satire/reality nexus delivers a custom-made news story for him to insist that we let her in, he's nowhere to be found.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I'm worried too.

[This Machine Chips Fascists]

SEAL Team Trump will snatch her to a black sight for a pump and rinse. Then she will be traded to Putin for Snowden, who Trump will then execute at the top of the Washington Monument, all on national TV.

"An escort from Belarus...currently in jail in Bangkok for plying her trade..."

Was she caught just between despair and ecstasy?
