Does a bear split in the woods near Zheleznogorsk?
I hope he stirs up poo poo in Scotland and gets them to secede from the UK just because the world needs one more utterly insane thing to happen.

After Brexit, Scotland regaining independence wouldn't be the most insane thing to happen.

What would be insane is the fight over the North Sea oil fields. :getin:

I think Scotland's wanted the nukes out for quite awhile now. Rebasing them would be a bitch for the British (doable though) but I very much doubt Scotland would try to keep the subs.

Corrupt Chinese officials are willing to take a loss on mining to launder dirty money and get it out of the country, and libertarian hoarders, drug dealers, and/or child porn enthusiasts keep the demand side propped up.

Officials from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission met with the twins on Feb. 14 to discuss their proposal for an ETF based on the digital currency, according to a short notice of the meeting published on Feb. 22. A decision is due by March 11. The 35-year-old twins want to trade the security on the Bats BZX Exchange Inc.

Can I interest you reinvesting some of those gains into non-perishable goods and guns, or better still a proper 1970s fallout shelter? Gains are only what you get to keep.

Fallout shelters are good for retirement.

Quality posting direct from my brain to your face holes.

Some quick notes after a night of news comedy:

- I generally link twitter because it's easy as hell on a phone and makes article clickthroughs easy. If you're quoting someone's twitter post, remove the twitter link so the quote doesn't have the blown-up picture too for those on desktops.

- For tweetstorms (the thing where people respond to themselves like 15-20 times), just link the first tweet. If they're interested in the whole thing, they'll click through and it's easy to read.

- Don't get too worked up about all the poo poo about 'normalization' and what's bad and good to react with. Hail gay satan and enjoy this poo poo as it happens because we're getting an absolutely incredible amount of jaw dropping news on a daily basis and it's hilarious watching assholes get what they deserve, even if it doesn't lead to actual charges and stuff. Plus I'm sure that stuff will be coming soon enough :)


Thanks, I am adding this to the OP.

Half of Congress is responding to the Sessions poo poo. The other half is currently on a scavenger hunt throughout the Capitol building, looking for the Republican healthcare plan. I'm not joking.

Melania Trump is calling for Naturopathy instead of Health Insurance :stare:

quote:

As her husband plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, a move that could strip health care coverage from up to 13 million children, Melania Trump talked with patients and their families about “how the gift of nature and the beauties of the outdoors can contribute to the healing process,” according to the hospital.
“I am a passionate believer in integrating and interpreting nature’s elements into our daily lives to create a warm, nurturing and positive environment,” said Melania Trump, according to a statement released by the hospital. “I believe that these same natural benefits can be instrumental to enhancing the health and well-being of all children.”
