Wait, Garrison made a comic criticizing the Syrian strike?

Yes, and now he's bitching about all the sweet Patreon support he earned from telling MAGAs what they want to hear being taken away the instant he stopped doing that. But remember it's the bad, bad left who are the ones clamoring for a safe space echo chamber.

Representatives of the Senate murder a populist demagogue who would ultimately transform a nominally free Republic into an absolute dictatorship, and yet Ramirez depicts this as a bad thing in this case.

Also that statue in the background is historically inaccurate.

I always heard this as "if it's longer than it's wide then it's phallic". I think it scans better that way.

Unless you're saying "phallic" in a very strange way, I think we're thinking of different tunes. I'm singing along to this thing. (Incidentally, putting the names of nursery rhymes into Youtube is a real experience. This was the least terrible/terrifying version I could find without going too deep in.)

They've conditioned themselves so hard, eight years of "Grrrrrr OBAMAAAAA!" and they literally, LITERALLY have no idea what else to say. They've forgotten everything else in their lives. Their passwords are "fuckobama", their waking thought is "I bet OBAMA is sleeping peacefully ON MY DIME" their grocery lists are
Eggs
Cheese
Milk
gently caress
Obama
Butter
every time they put pencil to paper they black out and wake up with a nose bleed, a drool slicked chin, and a scrawl of Obama looking smug while he golfs.

Chip Bok posted:

President Trump doesn�t look like much of a Russian collaborator lately. Last week he bombed Putin�s Syrian Ally al Assad for using chemical weapons. Weapons the Russians promised to eliminate.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson got a chilly reception from his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov and President Putin in Moscow yesterday. And he didn�t bring a reset button with him.

When asked on the Journal Report what he makes of the U.S. Russian relationship, Dan Henninger answered, �I guess you could call it a reset of a reset. Because whatever Donald Trump�s relationship may or may not have been with Vladimir Putin, it�s not the same as of this strike against Syria.� CNN says, �Donald Trumps Russia�s reset already needs a reset.�

I see this the opposite way. Airlines, just like railway lines and bus lines etc. regularly use their connections to transfer employees to where they are needed. Otherwise another flight might have to be cancelled. Overbooking to make room for employees is infinitely better than overbooking because of whatever other reason.

Employees are always infinitely superior to customers (aka. people who should die already), anyway. :colbert:
