Yes. Please. Let's go down this path.

"Hillary, anonymously leaked records from a planned parenthood hack indicate that you have had three dozen abortions in your life. Can you verify if the number of abortions you've had in your life is indeed this high? Or is the number somewhat lower?"

"Bernie Sanders, the intelligence records leaked to pastebin indicate that you spent much of your congressional career under investigation for giving confidential government documents to the KGB, FSK and PRC. Can you comment on those investigations, and if your socialist beliefs made you more eager to share those documents with our enemies for free?"

Considering Diane Rehm on NPR asked Bernie about his non-existent dual citizenship with Israel because of something she saw on Facebook, we're already there.

Interviewer fucks up and asks borderline racist and profoundly stupid question, is called out on it, has to apologize. Welp, poo poo, seal is broken guys. Everyone in news is now Chuck Johnson. Go hog wild.

I said it was already happening, not insisting that it was good nor that it should continue. Switch to decaf.

quote:

On Sunday, former House Speaker and public crier John Boehner said on CNN�s �State of the Union� that he used �Catholic guilt� to persuade fellow Catholic Paul Ryan to run for speaker after he stepped down. Boehner told Ryan:

�This isn�t about what you want to do. It�s about what God wants you to do. And God has told me, he wants you to.�

John Boehner was one step away from taking hostages and demanding a charter flight to "wherever" just to get the gently caress out.

The now-former speaker also said he isn't planning a presidential run of his own.

"I've never been afflicted with this disease," Boehner said.

There's a bit in one of Penn Jillette's books where he decides to be all anti commercial for Halloween one year and makes a 'ghost' costume for himself by cutting eye holes in a sheet Charlie Brown style and doesn't look at himself in a mirror until he arrives at his daughter's school and has the staff staring at him in absolute horror. Then he finally notices...

Was he also wearing a dunce cap at the time or is his head just naturally pointy?

Counterpoint: Ashley Madison hacks, so...

That had a lot of identifiable information beyond just names and emails, though. We're talking credit card numbers and billing addresses that match the individuals in question, which are much harder to fake.

So suddenly since you assume I'm talking about a nonwhite racial group, you're ready to make the jump from "pretty bad" to "neo-nazi"? I've gotta admit, that smarts a little bit.

My point is valid. If there are uncivilized, inbred fucks with stupid dialects everywhere, why be so angry with the ones who don't want your tax dollars?

I'm just gonna repost this at the top of the page, because it is clearly the most important political news today.

It's extra terrible because those dog and pony shows already came off as bullshit lip service even before it was out in the open that they were bought and paid for.

A university president's job is to pander. All that nitty gritty stuff is done by the provost.

This is mostly true, except a lot of institutions have separate cabinet-level positions for academic and student affairs. Mizzou has Cathy Scroggs in seat right now--it looks like she reached out directly to Jonathan Butler on Nov 2, and it would surprise me if she wasn't on his side.

I dunno. Our President had choice words to say about people being lovely to the refugees and a lot of Governors are committed to still taking them in. I don't think it's something the country as a whole has failed but the "I'm so scared I need my precious AR to protect me from hordes of The Others " people certainly did. Apparently even the Evangelical Christians are unhappy with the tone of gently caress Refuges.

Unhappy enough not to vote for the assholes, though? I doubt it.

For anyone in the Boston area: Michael Dukakis wants your turkey carcass to make soup with, and he includes his home address in Brookline to drop them off

I will be doing this later today

Dukakis owns. He made pancakes for us on the last day of his State & Local Gov't class a few years back.

edit: and I'm pretty sure he was the only professor/instructor I had that required students to meet with him one-on-one at least once outside of class to discuss exactly what each individual student wanted to get out of the class. Really invested guy.

Why not both?

Hahaha this kid frequently gets into it with my wife's 14-y/o cousin all the time on Facebook about who the "true conservatives" are. I want to see the look on his face when he reads this.

Reports coming out that the suspect has surrendered and says he's alone.

edit: ^^^

I'm guessing we won't have any confirmation of the suspect's identity until the cops have a chance to clear his residence of any potential explosive devices.

Maybe someone in the building talked him into surrendering, like that one woman who talked down a guy who was going to shoot up a school but nobody knows her name because the media only lionizes killers.

Nah he probably couldn't figure out how to kill himself painlessly with a long gun.

So three civilians.

I can't tell if this is a statement about cops being civilians too or if you think university police are not "real cops."

Ok, cool. I was just going on how the Lt. giving the statement described it.

From that one shortseller that got reamed:

My plan moving forward is to liquidate mine and wife�s 401k�s and try work out a payment plan with Etrade. I�m also going to ask them to help out in some way...thats a longshot. I will pay them and be back trading....only with set stops this time. What an expensive lesson that was.

Somehow it doesn't seem like the correct lesson!
