    Epic rage-Tweet meltdown beginning 3 am edt by President GrannyPants who still can’t figure out how to thread his Tweets.

    Somebody must have finally gotten through to him with that briefing – one page, single sided, double spaced, with bullet points – explaining how the SCO is now free to run wild through the Trump Org.

    I predicted 2 bad days, yesterday and today, on Wall Street. Prediction made Wednesday. I was right.

    Bob – stick with me, you might learn something. DJIA – 23,000 by May 1, 2019.

    I’m thinking Monday might be ok, not positive. But Wall Street has to have a good day here or there to keep the people buying. I’m just a window shopper.

    Here’s a suggest Carl. There should be a suggestion box that the Fans of HA can send to their topics for Open Threads with your edits too.

    Al Franken was announced as the host of the 2019 Oscars ceremony, replacing Kevin Hart, who might have told some unfortunate jokes one time.

    Surprisingly, not written by YLB.

    There’s an implicit apology expected of me for my participation in feminine beauty, but I can’t play into this false narrative that my sexuality is mutually exclusive from my power. My physical appearance, no matter how it affects others, is solely the responsibility of people around me.

    Actually, it’s the kneepads that confer power unto YLB. Without them she’s just another ditz.

    @6 the failing here is not making the past jokes, it is not thinking that you have to apologize in the present for your past failings….that is the real problem.

    And for anyone who wants to start crying about free speech….here’s my speech – go fuck yourself.

    Everyone makes mistakes or even does something they shouldn’t be proud of, but when you don’t want to recognize that mistake then that’s the fault.

    I could make Ape jokes right? How would he like it. Or I could make fun of you and your horse.

    @ 8

    Everyone makes mistakes or even does something they shouldn’t be proud of, but when you don’t want to recognize that mistake then that’s the fault.

    Agreed.

    “I certainly don’t remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann,” Franken said in a statement provided to the Guardian.

    More on @ 8

    Then there’s Elizabeth Warren doubling down on her Indian heritage lie by claiming her DNA results support her claim.

    Ooh, and there’s Weiner claiming hackery.

    And do you really wanna get me started with Hillary’s obfuscations, gman?

    …when you don’t want to recognize that mistake then that’s the fault.

    I think you really don’t.

    @10 “And do you really wanna get me started with Hillary’s obfuscations, gman?”

    You do know how laughable this is, don’t you? She’s not perfect, sure, but some are way less perfect than others. You’re a clown, doc, an unfunny clown, a clown with a frown.

    15 – Haven’t you realized by now that we will never be prosecuted for anything we’ve ever done? We’re sacrosanct when it comes to any potential prosecution. We could behead the Pope on live TV and get away with it.

  17. 17

    @14 Me, too. I’m a useless, unproductive, bloodsucking capitalist living off the fat of the land. But I don’t criticize the people who work and pay for my social security and medicare.

    @15 “Judge: Clinton’s private emails are ‘one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency’”

    Really? I thought those emails were supposed to be secret. I thought the whole point of criticizing her use of a private server was that made them too transparent. You’re not just a dumbfuck, you’re a special kind of dumbfuck.

    Btw, look up that judge’s record sometime when you have time. He gets rebuked a lot by higher courts.

  19. 19

    @15 “And that isn’t even the closest Hillary has come to being indicted.”

    Really? By who? After 30 years of investigations costing taxpayers over $100 million, you idiots still haven’t nailed her for so much as a parking ticket.

    I’m sure Hillary would love to be indicted. Malicious prosecution is an actionable tort. She could use the money, especially if it comes from Trump’s pocket.

    P.S., It won’t bother me a bit if Harris ends up out both his money and the House seat. As W. C. Fields said, “You can’t cheat an honest man!” No sympathy here for cheaters.

    @9/10 – why are you changing what the original comment of #8 was in regards to?

    Did the Ape (hahahah – comedic laughter) apologize for his retard jokes?

    Mind you – I have no idea what his texts and comedy act said about gay people, nor do I care. But would the guy accept black jokes? Or what about if I started to make jokes about horses and man’s love of horses?

    One of Trump’s “fine people,” James Alex Fields Jr., has been found guilty of all counts, including murder, for driving his car into a crowd of protesters during the Charlottesville protests.

    Now this is priceless, Trump calls Rex Tillerson, “dumb as a rock.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-lashes-out-at-tillerson-after-criticism-he-was-dumb-as-a-rock

    Wait, I thought Trump was going to surround himself with “the best and most serious people.” https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/381364-what-happened-to-the-best-and-most-serious-people

    So why would Trump hire someone that was “dumb as a rock?” How can anybody take what Trump says seriously? The Mango Messiah is projecting a bit too much these days.

    I’d just like to add that owing to Manafucked’s forfeitures the DOJ is officially turning a profit on the SCO so far.
    Once they get going on Uday and Qusay who knows what Real America stands to gain from bringing down traitors?

    @27 they won the Senate. Really!? I didn’t hear that! They never talk about it. All I herd was the House, House, House, House. WTF! House, House, House, and more House. I never heard Senate, Senate, Senate. It was only Senate and less Senate.

    Where was Doctor Dumbfuck? He should have told us about the Senate, Senate, Senate.

    I know if Puffy was alive he would have said SENATE, SENATE, SENATE!

    Here’s some comedy for Bob and all the others.

    One ape says to another ape, Why you so black? So the other ape says, because I’m from Africa and they didn’t have any SPF back then on the cruise ship.

    Demorat Pornstar Party Of Honduras News–Glorious Demorat Saves Undocumented Demorats From Deportation
    Snip;
    A second Democrat in Congress is helping flood the nation with future voters for her party by helping them submit (possibly phony) asylum claims.
    This time, it’s Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), an Indian immigrant who bragged on Twitter that she helped a handful of the illegals jump the border.
    Last time, it was campaign staffers for Representative Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), the new wunderkind of the Democratic Party, whom the faithful hope is the next Barack Hussein Obama. Project Veritas divulged that O’Rourke’s senate campaign workers used campaign funds to help migrants in the caravan that surged through Mexico this fall.
    But in both cases, left-wing Democrats are the culprits.

    Note- You previously deleted a quote of mine contending no “fair use.” In my view you misapply fair use doctrine regarding non-commercial political commentary. See, e.g.;

    “It is undisputed that Hoehn did not and could not profit from posting the Work. Under Sony, noncommercial/nonprofit use is presumptively fair. Additionally, this factor focuses on the purpose or character of the new work. Here, Hoehn posted the Work as part of an online discussion. Hoehn avers he posted the Work to foster discussion in a specific interactive website forum regarding the recent budget short-falls facing state governments. This purpose is consistent with comment, for which 17 U.S.C. § 107 provides fair use protection. There is no genuine issue of material fact that Hoehn’s noncommercial use of the Work for comment favors a finding that the use was fair.”

    Notably the entire work was copied, as the discussion discloses. Although the summary judgment is ultimately moot per the dismissal on other grounds the analysis remains instructive.

    39,
    I once had an associate under my supervision with a similarly righteous and similarly stupid attitude.

    He had a screen saver on his laptop that was “inappropriate”. I can’t even understand why he needed a fucking screen saver. Whatever.
    So I ask him to come in and close the door so I can explain the policy to him. And the stupid propeller head wants to argue about it. With me. His boss. At that point I had zero fucking time for junior space ranger legal/philosophical with people in their 20s. No sooner is the door closed then he’s on about balancing tests and due process. I let him roll for a minute or two.

    Then I simply asked him: Exactly how much money do you believe the partners and shareholders of this firm should spend to defend in court the right you claim to that screen saver? I encouraged him to take his time and consider carefully his overall contribution to the firm’s bottom line.

    I’ve got the same question for you, steaksauce.
    How much money should the owners and supporters of this blog spend to defend in court your right to unlimited copypasta from GRU/Moldovan propaganda mills? Please be sure to consider carefully the value of your overall contribution.

    @29 You don’t get to be CEO of Exxon by being dumb as a rock. However, a complete moron can become president of the United States, if you have enough voters who are dumb as fenceposts.

  43. 43

    @39 “Note- You previously deleted a quote of mine contending no ‘fair use.’ In my view you misapply fair use doctrine regarding non-commercial political commentary” blah blah blah

    Boo fucking hoo, crybaby.

    First of all, I had nothing to do with this. I don’t have moderator privileges on this blog, so I didn’t whack your comment. I’m not saying you implied I did, but I just want this to be clear.

    Now, with that out of the way, when nothing else works, it may behoove you to read the instructions, to which you will find a link at the bottom of this page. To wit:

    “The following type of comments will no longer be tolerated: …

    “Large chunks of cut-and-paste from copyrighted works or other blogs and comment threads. …

    “Each of my co-bloggers are now free to delete comments on their own posts based on their own arbitrary interpretation of these standards, while Darryl and I have global moderation privileges. Repeat offenders will be banned. And don’t be surprised to see these standards imposed sporadically and selectively. This is my blog. Life isn’t fair.”

    There are two things to pay attention to here. First, the blog owner has set forth his conception of what exceeds the bounds of fair use. Second, comments are subject to being deleted arbitrarily, sporadically, and selectively, entirely at the whim of the moderators.

    If you can stand a wee bit of friendly advice, this TOS doesn’t even pretend to apply the legal standard of fair use, so don’t bother quoting case law on the subject. Fwiw, my impression is that lifting something from a copyrighted source and pasting the entirety of it in your comment here will be deemed “not fair use” by these moderators and may result in your comment being whacked, although you have to work at it to get yourself deleted on this blog. So quote only part of the article, or whatever it is, to make your fucking point if you have one. Finally, don’t bother complaining about my comments; that will get you nowhere. The moderation standards here are entirely arbitrary, and I’m more popular on this blog than you are. Also, I give Goldy money (see link in left sidebar).

    @40 Well, if you read the article that pork sauce linked to, which he apparently did not, you’ll see a few paragraphs down that it was not Rep. Jayapal but “an incredibly compassionate Border Patrol Chief” who let the asylum seekers into the country, so if pork sauce has a complaint about that, he needs to take it with Commander Bone Spurs, who’s in charge of the department that’s in charge of the Border Patrol.

    As far as I know, talking a Border Patrol supervisor into letting asylum seekers cross the border for the purpose of seeking asylum (which itself is not against the law) isn’t a crime. And they don’t become voters unless (1) they’re granted asylum, (2) they remain in the United States, (3) they fulfill the requirements of citizenship, (4) they register to vote, (5) they bother to vote. In which case, for all anybody knows, they might vote for Republicans.

    So, bringing in Democratic voters from Guatemala via Mexico? Seems to me it’s a long way from there to here.

    But, as we all know, Republicans are offended by even the theoretical possibility of anybody voting for Democrats, and will do anything in their power to prevent Democratic voting, even if it’s illegal and a blatant violent of other citizens’ rights.

    @41 I assume that associate didn’t make partner and is now running a solo shop specializing in DUI defense.

  46. 46

    45,
    He left to go into a private arbitration business with a partnership opportunity. (Well connected if somewhat lazy, his father was a Superior Court judge). Mostly he does what I’d consider “sales”. It’s a good fit. He’s happy about it. If things work out they’ll get a buyout and he can retire.

    @43 RR

    Thanks for the friendly advice, and did it occur to you that I was offering the same? The stated reason for the deletion was fair use, I took Carl at face value and provided my own friendly opinion. The issue is not what you may do, which is obvious, but rather what the law requires.

    BTW, you are the last person I suspected, to your credit you don’t fear opposing opinions but consider it an opportunity for rebuttal.

    @41 McCoward

    Not a bad anecdote, but then ruined by a nitwit rhetorical question. Stick to dissos.

    you don’t fear opposing opinions

    Propaganda that serves the interests of the insane kleptocratic leaning to military aggression russian state?

    Read history pork sauce. Lots of cause for concern there.

    In the meantime continue to be collect your paymaster’s checks.

    …you don’t fear opposing opinions…

    I for one won’t hold my breath waiting for Porksauce to let us all know if she ever has one of her own.

    If I ever find myself seized with a suuden urge to know what pimply Moldovan script kiddies and their GRU paymasters want meat puppet trailerbillies to “believe” about the latest QAnon canibalism conspiracy I just check out Teh Dumbfuck’s most recent post.
