Edible Hat posted:It has been five days since since the president made one his most explosive allegations, accusing his predecessor of Watergate-levels of corruption, and two of the most popular right-wing sites *Drudge and Breitbart) have no new stories about it on their site. Something tells me no one actually believed this poo poo and Obama is not going to be imprisoned in a bank vault. Vault 7 is the name Wikileaks gave to their new dump of the CIA's Groupware site, with documents and code for their computer infiltration operations. The stuff they've currently released is from 2012 and apparently mostly details their operations in Europe. Reminder: Trump publicly asked Russia to hack into Hillary's e-mail.

So what's the quote from Ben that's getting lampooned? The Trump administration moves so fast that a gaffe in the morning is buried under 100 pages of posts about a different scandal by dinner.

Say what you will about trump but he has certainly seemed to have energized Priggee, Delonas, and Bill Day somewhat. (Also lol phone autocorrects Delonas to demonspawn)

Ben Carson's a weird dude. Just looking at the quote, you could almost read some bitter irony into it – and in fact, Obama's done that "slaves were immigrants of a sort (didn't that suck, amiright)" thing before. But listening to Sleepy Ben tell it so straightforward and make it seem like an honorable bit of history...durr wha, man?

Trogdos! posted:Carson: 'There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who worked even longer, even harder, for less' And the immediate next line: "But they, too, had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.” No, Ben, I really don't think that was the dream the kidnapped slaves had. Sometimes I wonder if some canny operative got him brought into the cabinet solely because he's the one person in American politics whose thoughtless comments can ever be awful enough to draw attention away from Trump's.

Trogdos! posted:Carson: 'There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who worked even longer, even harder, for less' The full quote is way worse. You could (terribly) argue Carson was trying to make a bad transition with the first sentence but the full quote is impossible to defend: quote:"There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who worked even longer, even harder, for less, but they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land," said Carson, who is black. "And do you know of all the nations in the world, this one, the United States of America, is the only one big enough and great enough to allow all those people to realize their dream. And this is our opportunity to enhance that dream," he added.

Said it before and I'll say it again, Paul Ryan's head is God's gift to cartoonists. Easy to draw recognizably, conventionally handsome with distinctive features, dude really did hit the lottery. He should swap heads with someone more famous but harder to draw, like Pence.

Honestly the crosswalk figure is just a silhouette of a person. It's tricky line to walk, and gently caress Leak of course, but by making specifically female figures you imply that a very neutral human shape is actually male when it should just be a nondescript person.

It does however draw attention to how most people unconsciously perceive a generic silhouette figure as male ("walk when you see the green man", signs on male toilets etc.).

oddium posted:a text without hinges, key, or a lid The classics: quote:They asked each other countless riddles, such as who played the Cisco Kid and what was Krypton. In the end Dildo won the game. Stumped at last for a riddle to ask, he cried out, as his hand fell on his snub-nosed .38, "What have I got in my pocket?" This Goddam failed to answer, and growing impatient, he paddled up to Dildo, whining, "Let me see, let me see." Dildo obliged by pulling out the pistol and emptying it in Goddam's direction. The dark spoiled his aim, and he managed only to deflate the rubber float, leaving Goddam to flounder. Goddam, who couldn't swim, reached out his hand to Dildo and begged him to pull him out, and as he did, Dildo noticed an interesting-looking ring on his finger and pulled it off. He would have finished Goddam off then and there, but pity stayed his hand. It's a pity I've run out of bullets, he thought, as he went back up the tunnel, pursued by Goddam's cries of rage.

GoutPatrol posted:I understand the history but I guess I need some present context? I remember a This American Life talking about the issue 4/5 years ago. From what I recall from people explaining it when Marty's brought it up in the past... Disenrollment is basically the same as excommunication: the tribe leaders refuse to recognize someone they see as a "troublemaker" as having ever had a legitimate claim to being a member, and cuts them off from any benefits (I.E. casino stipends) from being a member. There's not a lot of public criticism of the system by members of the tribe because it's a great way to end up under the chopping block yourself, and it means less people to split the pot with.
