Weird conspiracy theory when the Dem's emails got leaked. Some nut noticed a bunch of references to pizza eg "Hey guys after the fundraiser tonight let's grab some pizza together" and decided that different toppings alluded to different types of pedophilia the group would engage in. Like, pizza with Italian sausage meaning let's abuse an Italian kid. Instead of figuring that they just really liked eating pizza like 90% of American adults.

e: oh and some true believer showed up at this infamous pizza joint and shot it up, demanding employees to reveal the hidden rape rooms.

Poor dumb bastard was so messed up from Alex Jones he didn't even do the basic research to find out if the place had a basement.

It did not.

Just went in guns ablazing terrifying customers and employees.

You know it's bad when they start running out of loving colours!

Yeah, my dad insists that they adjusted the meanings of colors in rainfall maps and temperature maps so that things looks worse than they actually are. "They wouldn't be running out of colors if they hadn't changed them in the first place!" Yeah, because rain radar had a scale for, like, 5 feet of rain when it was first instituted.

DontMockMySmock: Aug 9, 2008; I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Can't remember which thread it was, but someone posted the "you are who you pretend to be" quote. Seems pretty apt to me.

Not yet.

The Trump administration is still deciding whether they will accept the Mexican offer for aid.

Please tell me there's a source for this because I really, really don't want to even believe this.

I know it's likely true, good gods that's petty.

Thankfully he didn't shoot it up. He just showed up with a rifle demanding to see the rape basement.

And fired his rifle three times actually.

WASHINGTON ― The Trump administration has not decided whether it will accept aid from Mexico to help victims of the hurricane that has devastated swaths of Texas and overwhelmed emergency responders.

�If a need for assistance does arise, we will work with our partners, including Mexico, to determine the best way forward,� the White House and State Department said in identical statements after Mexico offered �help and cooperation� to aid U.S. recovery from Hurricane Harvey, which has killed at least nine people, displaced tens of thousands and destroyed countless homes.

Asked if the Trump administration�s assessment is that there is no need for assistance from Mexico, the White House referred HuffPost to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which punted to the State Department, which directed questions back to FEMA.

Bonus:

quote:

A federal judge dismissed Sarah Palin�s defamation lawsuit against The New York Times on Tuesday.

Palin sued the Times for defamation after an editorial in the newspaper on mass shootings tied an ad run by the former vice presidential nominee to the 2011 shooting of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R-Ariz.).

"Nowhere is political journalism so free, so robust, or perhaps so rowdy as in the United States," Judge Jed Rakoff wrote in an opinion dismissing the case.

"In the exercise of that freedom, mistakes will be made, some of which will be hurtful to others."

Rakoff found that Palin did not meet the legal standard of proving malice toward a public figure, noting that the paper issued two corrections to the editorial in the hours after it was published.

�Such behavior is much more plausibly consistent with making an unintended mistake and then correcting it than with acting with actual malice,� he wrote.

To be even more fair, Osteen and his family got the gently caress out of Dodge last week and are sitting pretty in another home upstate, and he's done gently caress-all but tweet inane "thoughts and prayers/God's got this" platitudes, so gently caress him regardless.

Nah a few people were posting pics and video of the church, was relatively dry
