lol, this is why Trump went all crazy yesterday about CNN and needing a government-run broadcaster to counter them. I'm sure CNN asked for comment and Trump lost it when he heard the story.

:ssh: Don't tell him about Voice of America

quote:

Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people. VOA produces content for digital, television, and radio platforms. It is easily accessed via your mobile phone and on social media. It is also distributed by satellite, cable, FM and MW, and is carried on a network of approximately 2,200 affiliate stations.

Since its creation in 1942, Voice of America has been committed to providing comprehensive coverage of the news and telling audiences the truth. Through World War II, the Cold War, the fight against global terrorism, and the struggle for freedom around the globe today, VOA exemplifies the principles of a free press.

VOA is part of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the government agency that oversees all non-military, U.S. international broadcasting. It is funded by the U.S. Congress.

Not only that...

quote:

There are already several US government-run TV and radio broadcasters overseen by the US Agency for Global Media, which describes itself as "an independent federal agency that seeks to inform, engage and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy." The agency's broadcasters are Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Office of Cuba Broadcasting, Radio Free Asia, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks.

Trump is presumably aware of these networks' existence, given that they're supervised by a federal agency whose "budget request is part of the President's budget request to the Congress."

Emphasis mine because :laffo:

And almost everything that's on that list isn't what the blue dogs wanted, as Pelosi told them to get bent.

Barbara Lee apparently had the votes for the speakership but then they flipped on her.

These bylaws are hilarious.

quote:

A person that believes in the inherent supremacy of any one race over another, or who is a member of any organization promoting the supremacy of any one race over another, may not become or remain a member of this Fraternity. This includes, but is not limited to, any person who currently identifies as white nationalist, white supremacist, or alt-right (or any person who is a member of an organization identifying as such). Similarly, members of terrorist organizations or cells, including but not limited to Antifa, are prohibited from membership in the fraternity.

quote:

Immediately after reciting the Fraternity Creed, the supervising brother shall instruct to probationer to name five breakfast cereals. At that time, the five brothers surrounding the probationer shall begin punching the probationer only in the arms and torso area of his body until such a time as he recites the names of five breakfast cereals. The supervising brother shall count the cereals aloud and the punching shall immediately cease once either (a) the fifth breakfast cereal is reached; or (b) the probationer indicates through words or actions that he is unable to continue and wishes to withdraw from the Fraternity. It is the responsibility of the supervising brother to protect the probationer undergoing his second degree from serious injury.

Immediately following the second degree, the new brother should get a hug from the supervising brother and told “Welcome Aboard”. The same should then be done by all others who participated in the ritual of the second degree.

quote:

The third degree of initiation shall be a tattoo stating “Proud Boy” or “Proud Boys”. The recommended format for the tattoo is attached to these bylaws as Exhibit “B” and incorporated by reference herein. The third degree is meant to symbolize the commitment of a member to truly being a brother for life

quote:

Section 3. Traditions
(a) Creed: The Fraternity Creed is “I am a western chauvinist, and I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world”
(b) Colors: The official fraternity colors shall be black and yellow.
(c) Crest: The crest of the Fraternity shall be as shown on the document attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and incorporated by reference herein.
(d) Song: The official song of the Fraternity is “Proud of Your Boy”, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman.

quote:

Prohibited Items: No member of the Fraternity shall wear flip flops, fedoras, or cargo shorts at any meeting or function of the Fraternity.

No Wanks: No heterosexual brother of the Fraternity shall masturbate more than one time in any calendar month the act occurs during a consensual sexual contact with a female who is not a prostitute. All members shall abstain from pornography

A friend of mine scored tickets to the National Christmas Tree lighting that happened this evening, so she, my girlfriend and I went and braved the freezing wind chill to see it. Trump came out and said maybe 20 words, 10 of which were counting down from 10 before Melania “lit” the tree, and then slouched off stage.

He sounded seriously tired and like he was phoning in his phoning it in. Melania didn’t say a word, and then they were gone. Like 70% of the seated audience left too, either because it was super loving cold or they were over it.
