Who are these 13 angry Democrats he keeps talking about.

e: Also lol Republicans ahead in the polls. There was one poll that showed them up +1 in the generic ballot, which was proven to be an outlier against several others that still have Dems ahead of the margin of error.

Not around the corner. It's here. We just got hit with the first named storm of the season and I had a tree fall on my car.

I remember back in the day when hurricane season in Florida was like... late July to early September regardless of when the official start date was.

It’s not even June yet.

Wanda Sykes was apparently on her new show. I haven't watched it so I don't know. I say was, because she just announced she will not be back after Rosanne's most recent incident.


I still think kicking loli/hentai off the boards was the right move. I can't even really blame moot necessarily for what /pol/ became.

Historians (if we don't kill ourselves off in the next century or two) are going to literally have to document the development of the alt-right and it's massive internet background as a part of the propaganda storm that led us to today. Something awful, mostly by virtue of being the source of and kicking out the proprietors of movement originators, is going to be historically relevant even if it's a dead gay forum swept to the dustbin of time.

none of this will matter in a few hundred years when we're fighting with each other with sticks and stones over the last sources of potable water while we cling to life at the extreme ends of the globe, but in the meantime we'll be some fascinating little footnote buried in a doctoral thesis in 2125.

This is my favorite part. A Republican career prosecutor appointed by Trump to be the deputy AG appoints a Republican former FBI director who served under a Republican administration to investigate, among other things, the firing of another Republican FBI director also appointed by a Republican and somehow it's all the Democrats' doing.

It's really about Mueller's team.

Trump's (dumb) argument is that Mueller's team is all Democratic lawyers, thus Thirteen Angry Witch-Hunting Democrats!!!!

The problem with that argument is that Mueller doesn't even know the party affiliations of his team. Mueller is literally forbidden by law to ask party affiliation when hiring his legal team. If he only hired Republicans, or even tried to seek a balance between parties on his legal team, it would've been illegal.

Trump is basically saying HOW DARE YOU FOLLOW THE LAW and that sort of makes sense, doesn't it?

Attention GiP, I have an important announcement: DOAKEBDLABSKDJWBE

https://twitter.com/jbendery/status/1001500356818493440?s=19


quote:

WASHINGTON ― Does anyone know what kind of porn Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) is watching?

Whatever it is, the 67-year-old Black, who is running for governor of Tennessee, said it’s a “big part” of what is driving the spike in school shootings.

During a meeting last week with local pastors, Black raised the issue of gun violence in schools and why it keeps happening.

“Pornography,” she said.

“It’s available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store. Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there’s pornography there,” she continued. “All of this is available without parental guidance. I think that is a big part of the root cause.”

Lol lookit this old thinking kids go to the grocery store to pickup porn. Only 50 year old divorcees and truck drivers pick up skin mags these days.

I understand the desire for a containment board. But having a board devoted to the "politically incorrect" implies that the site is OK with the "politically incorrect" at some level. And the split won't be contained without active moderation that enforces the divide. Creating /pol/ was not malicious, but it was moronic. Without heavy moderation, it was always going to become a toxic echo chamber that leaks out until the entire site is poisoned.

A resident of Ellicott City got some amazing footage of the flooding. Fox News contacted him to see if they could use it. His eloquent response was "No, gently caress off."

Fox News used it anyway.
