    Wow, even in basic training we learned not to do something as fucking stupid as this, I'm honestly surprised they would group up like that.  This isn't some dark hallway where they are clearing rooms.  They are in the open.

    On a related note - Ol' Art is wanting to get into politics, me thinks.  He's going after Turtle, the NRA, Cornyn, and Cruz, and he's getting a shitload of attention around the US.

    Edit: Acevedo made the comments after the funeral for one of his officers.  Twitter is now saying that one of the cops shot today is dead.  Wonder if Cornyn is going to be as snide as he was.

    This is the worst, most tedious, most excrutiatingly tendentious impeachment ever. I used to be in favor of it, but damn if you people aren't just thoroughly godawful human beings to make people suffer through this total waste of time. Can you kill with boredom? Looks like we're going to find out.

    It's really hard to find an analogy, but here's an attempt:

    This is like an Adam Sandler movie on Netflix, with our fearless main cast: 

    • Ronald Drumpf - Adam Sandler 
    • Jimmie Gordon - Bobcat Goldthwaite 
    • Doug Rollins - Rob Schneider
    • Kevin Nunez - Jon Lovitz
    • Matt Gates - David Spade
    • Steve Cantor - Steve Buscemi
    • Rafael Cruz - Kevin Nealon
    • Mitch McDonald - Henry Winkler
    • Lincoln Graham - Norm Macdonald
    • Louie Juliannie - Robert Smigel

    Act One: Drumpf has a lot of friends.  Well, they aren't really friends, at least not in the traditional sense.    Drumpf and his "friends" maybe did some really shady shit and took some money from some people that they'd rather not have the rest of the world know about  And maybe they are even in debt to these people.  One-by-one, he brings his "friends" to various golf courses that he owns, and he tells them "now look, I know you don't like me, and I don't like you, but guess what?  I maybe did some bad things, some really bad things, and I know that maybe you did some really bad things, and I need you to protect me, and so if you protect me, I won't tell anybody about the bad things you did."  We see a brief montage of the shady shit they did, and him threatening them on a golf course.

    Act Two:  Now all of Drumpf's "friends" are nervous as shit.  They are not happy, because they feel like he could throw them under the bus at any moment, but they are dutifully out there protecting him, in order to save their asses.  They are constantly texting each other, and trying to stay on Drumpf's good side.

    Act Three:   Drumpf takes all of his "friends" into a massive casino.  Now, some of his "friends" actually control half of the casino.  But the other half of the casino is owned by Shifty Adam (Adam Scott) and Nancy Potosi (Tina Fey), Drumpf's enemies.  Drumpf gathers his "friends" around him and announces that they are going to rob the shit out of the casino right then and there. They are going to steal everything they can get their hands on, and every one of them better leave the casino with at least a half a million.  The "friends" protest, saying that they control half the casino, and that if he needs a favor or money, just give them time and they'll take care of him.  But no, Ronald Drumpf wants this to be remembered by everybody.    And he tells his "friends" that if they fail to do what he says, or if he is even so much as touched by a security guard, that he will rat every single one of them out to the police.  To top it all off, he tells Matt Gates that he better shit in his hand and start flinging it at security cameras, and that Jimmie Gordon better pull every fire alarm, and make his way to the control room and turn on the fire sprinklers.

    We are currently deep into Act Three.

    Didn't think I could hate an AG more than Ashcroft and then Gonzales. 

    But Barr doesn't feel he even has to hide his bias and corruption, apparently. Unprecedented but sadly, right in line with the M.O. he's always shown.  

    Barr was only hired with one reason in mind:  To protect Trump.

    Wait, someone gave Boing Dogboner a platform? Ugh.

    It's worse:  It takes 5 minutes to setup a news aggregation site like Drudge.  There is absolutely nothing special about Drudge technically.  Drudge was big early on though, and had the perfect timing for some major Clinton stories.  Mong Bonjoiner doesn't have that, although he does have Trump's twitter feed.

    Pretty soon, Dong Bojackjoiner is probably going to be complaining that Google is oppressing him, because in the years since Drudge and a few other sites, Google decided that news aggregation sites were not actual news sites in and of themselves, so that when you go searching for news on Google, you don't get directed to Drudge and then click on the link on Drudge's site to whatever the story is.  Rather, Google just links you to the story outright.

    In fact, you can even be penalized by Google for such sites if you are not careful.  

    But Kong Joinbanger knows none of that, and doesn't need it, because Trump's twitter feed and the millions of bots will keep traffic flowing to his site.

    Chris Wallace basically just said 'everything trump and kellyanne were just saying is not true based on this report'.

    I'm honestly surprised that he's lasted this long.

    I know but it still sucks balls.  The relationship between our unaccountable big tech companies and our unaccountable big military is terrifying AF from a 30k feet perspective.  It is what it is. 

    Would you feel better if it was some podunk CloudsIsUs.com outfit that does a few million in business every year, that's owned by some guy who tossed trump a million or two for his inauguration?  Maybe a Prince/DeVos family friend?

    And here's the kicker: If it had been any other outfit but Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, or Oracle, they would most likely still be hosting the infrastructure on....drum roll please....Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, or Oracle (well maybe not Oracle).

    There are some things you can't get around at this scale.

    If I escaped Syria or Mogadishu in the hopes of being an American, I can't think of a worse place to go than ND. There may be a few months per year that it's bearable but screw when the average high is 20 in the winter.  Send me back my war torn home.

    If you were truly racist, and somewhat intelligent (I know, the two don't go together), you would want to relocate people from Syria or North Africa to North Dakota, because you might have quite a few die during the first winter.

    Western North Dakota is the most God-forsaken place in the US.  At least if you were in Minnesota or Alaska, or Montana, you could have nice scenery to look at, and a decent amount of snow and hills to do shit.

    And don't get me started on the Indian reservations.  Third world.

    Serious question, why would he be scared?  Regardless of evidence, nothing will happen to him.  Nada.  He has absolutely no reason to be nervous. 

    Vanity. Ego.  He does not want his financials exposed.   He has spent decades crafting his image.

    Plus, the states are coming for him once he’s out of office, and he can’t stop that.  Neither he nor Pence can pardon for the state stuff.

  10. Besides Texas, I lived in Arky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Florida as a kid, as well as a couple of years in in North Dakota, and ND was by far, the most racist of places.  The others were not even.  They loved the money my dad’s employer (oil) brought in, and while there were plenty of supposedly good folks there, the fucking racist shitheads were openly racist.  Other places we lived at, the racists would at least look over their shoulder before putting their garbage beliefs into display.  But not in ND.    That’s why I was happy to see the oil boom of the past few years, because that brought a shitload more minorities into ND, far more than we did in the ‘80s.

    That simply means, and I think most of understand that he's scared.

    Not just of impeachment, he's scared in general to have original thoughts and accept the back and forth and failure that comes with it.

    When you get past the name calling and loudest voice in the room it is really weak.

    100 mostly retweets now.   That means he’s not only scared of something, but is trying like hell to distract his followers and the media.    I’m guessing he will give one of his helicopter press conferences where he asks why we are in NATO and that people are telling him to pull out, you know, Pentagon generals right out of central casting asking him to get us out of NATO.  Or perhaps that we should do something about Iran or Venezuela.   Any 2nd- or 3rd-world countries that Trump has threatened in the past few years should be puckering up.

    Yes, it's bad. What's worse is the Secretary acting like it is a nothingburger. Hey, former Secretary Mattis, how much would it cost me to pay you to go punch this clown?

     

    In a active shooter situation in America, a normal brown person would be running their ass off to get away.  If there is an active shooter, and one or more Saudi students were standing around and filming it/watching, that means they had no fear of the shooter.  Why is that?
