Doesn't do credit to Rasputin.

Rasputin plowed all sorts of Slavic Strange from peasant to noble and drank so much that even RUSSIANS thought he had a drinking issue. Maybe that's why the poison didn't take at first which is why the LEAD CURES RASPUTIN approach had to be taken.

Bannon looks like he'd keel over dead from a brief jog.

It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
Had a discussion with coworkers about Charlottesville and one of them quoted "one racist rear end in a top hat ran over more racist assholes who were protesting other racist assholes". I'm not sure where the anti Nazi protesters became racists but I started getting really irked and ended the conversations with "THEY ARE LITERAL NAZIS JESUS CHRIST".

Normal just felt like disappointment in everything.

Perhaps disappointment wasn't all that bad in comparison.

For all the flak the Democrats got over their completely idiotic "have you seen the other guys" ad, they're not wrong.

Or, for that matter, that bad themselves. Incompetent at getting themselves elected, sure, but all things told I think this election cycle shows us that milquetoast liberalism perhaps isn't such a bad thing after all.

It's because the protest crowd is perceived as being completely BLM, which is itself perceived as racist because it "claims" black lives matter more than white lives and blue lives. the right would never miss a chance to get in some jabs at the left. I.e. Renowned poo poo head Huckabee was on Fox News and used his condemnation of the neo nazis as a segue into pro life chat

Some algorithmic day traders monitor Trump's twitter to try to make money off the companies he mentions, others see this and do the opposite to try to make money off the first group, and a few months later the universe balances itself before most humans can fire enough synapses to realize what happened.

FBI caught another sucker, this one's a three-percenter McVeigh admirer.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amph...06ab_story.html

quote:

The FBI has arrested an Oklahoma man on charges that he tried to detonate what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb outside a bank, acting out of a hatred for the U.S. government and an admiration for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy Mc­Veigh, according to court papers.

Jerry Drake Varnell was arrested shortly after a Friday night attempt to detonate a fake bomb packed into what he believed was a stolen cargo van outside the bank in Oklahoma City, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court.

According to the complaint, over the course of a months-long undercover investigation by the FBI, Varnell made repeated statements about the extent of his hatred of the federal government.

In one conversation he said he believed in the “Three Percenter” ideology — a form of anti-government activism that pledges resistance against the United States government on the belief it has infringed on the Constitution, according to court papers. Those who subscribe to the ideology incorrectly believe that only 3 percent of the colonial population participated in the American Revolution, and they see themselves as their heirs.

According to the complaint, Varnell expressed a desire to blow up buildings, but in a way that would minimize deaths or casualties, possibly by detonating the device at night when offices would be mostly empty.

Authorities said Varnell attempted to detonate the fake bomb at 6:30 p.m. Friday. He was taken into custody shortly after midnight, according to the complaint.

Authorities are expected to announce his arrest later Monday.
