This is why I support Vitter: his experience keeping poo poo from leaking.

So,

In my city I've been waging a completely fake over the top write in campaign to become dictator of the city. I've spent two months talking about making rivers run with chocolate, annexing surrounding towns, deciding leash law disputes with duels etc etc etc. while at the same time asking everyone to stop name calling each other. I've been doing this on all Facebook with photoshopped signs and long rants every few days.

Last night, this got me elected to the Housing Authority in my city and I came in second for Planning Board, and got 12 votes for city council.

Go mad with power immediately.

You know there's zero chance of it passing because there will be a billion Koch dollars opposing it and just being on the ballot will bring every wingnut out to the polls

Everyone in Colorado is legally required to smoke weed now, and if you get high enough you become pro-UHC. It's going to pass and it's not going to be close.

It's unacceptable to belittle the fears of people in the wake of a purposeful slaughter of a large number of innocents by a tiny group of monsters. People have every right to be worried about something happening here, as it's not only promised by the same ones who did so in paris, but predicted by our own intelligence agencies. There is no "just ignore it" option. They will not go away. They will kill as many innocent people as they can in as grusome and inhumane ways as they can, until either their capacity to do so is eliminated, or they win their insane war against all non-arab, non-salafists.

No actually it is always acceptable to belittle dumbshit bigots having dumbshit ideas. It may not be the most effective way to make an argument or to accomplish anything, but "wahhhh don't belittle my fears!!" is a complete joke and non-starter. Your fears are idiotic and so are you.

Is anyone else surprised that Massachusetts, the land of Elizabeth Warren and only one that voted for McGovern, wants to ban Syrian refugees? Can someone who lives there comment on this? New Hampshire and Maine, sure, they're backwards states, but I thought Massachusetts was a little better than that (a little bit).

It's also the land of Mitt Romney. Not In My Backyard-ism poo poo now applies to human beings :toot:

This all just further supports the case that reality is no longer imitating Foundation with Donald Trump as the Mule, it's doing Infinite Jest with Donald Trump as Johnny Gentle, running on a platform of cleaning up America. Negotiations about the construction of the Great Wall of USA/Mexico will lay the groundwork for the formation of ONAN during Trump's second term :tinfoil:

Finding extra room in the budget to pay for UHC by introducing subsidized time is exactly the kind of thing Trump would loving do.

Boston has kinda a lovely racist past. Many of the people from their lovely racist past are still alive.

On the plus side, Boston's Mayor appears to understand what #BostonStrong was actually about and is willing to accept refugees if the government places them there.

If it helps, everyone involved says that it was horrible timing and a horrible angle on the photo. Apparently, the attacker was swinging the flag at his target rather than trying to impale him.

(I don't think that makes it much less horrible?)


That does help kinda, thank you.

Wait why was he waving a flag "at" a "target" :confused: am I using flags wrong have I been using flags wrong this whole time?

As America's will to shop recedes, ISIS's power grows commensurately.

America actually works like Tinkerbell except with consumption instead of audience applause. When GWB encouraged us to go shopping after 9/11 it wasn't "haha GWB is dumb" it was more "if you fuckers spend enough money we'll grow powerful enough to deploy the gundam"
