    So, it appears we are headed towards a new missile race. I was for withdrawal of the ABM treaty, because it was hamstringing our ability to defend against rouge-state missiles. With the INF Treaty, it needs to be renegotiated, just not sure about the negotiators. China has an Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile, Perhaps we need a few of ours. Perhaps other systems can fill the gap.

    When having an in-flight engine problem, a pilot does not have time to determine the nearest airport that is sanctions free. 8 weeks ago, a Norwegian 737 MAX had to land in Shiraz. If the 737 still used the Pratt and Whitney JT8D, probably would have found a replacement engine, but the 737 MAX uses the CFM LEAP-1B, and a spare had to be flown in. It appears finally a new engine arrived, and the plane has flown out.

    Good news, ‘froggy! I finally found you a job.

    Yeah, OK, so you’ll be working for Amy Klobuchar as her personal assistant. Look, do you want a job or don’t you?

    It serves to prevent the baboon troop from experiencing real world defeats in real time: Roger Stone, Qatar Investment Authority, Alexander Acosta, Wilbur Ross, Michael Cohen, Betsy DeVoss, SHITDOWN!, Noel Francisco, Saudi Nukes, Manafucked, Collusion, all in one week.

    The real beauty of this magic trick is that the meaningless manufactured celebutard scamdal exploited to distract fades very quickly. But the base corruption that it is meant to distract from lives forever. The GOP will always be the political party that sold US national security for skeevy real estate deals, protected the most heinous child rapists and wife beaters, traded cabinet appointments for handjobs, and stole housing from soldiers for a politcal stunt.

    Over and over again Republicans have been forced to internalize this kind of monumental corruption. It is now integral to their identity. They are even protective of it to the point of opposing reform, transparency, and accountability.

    Here. Watch it unfold in real time.

    Somebody (nobody) you don’t know named Nicole Paula Oliver with fewer than ten followers posts a tweet with a a dozen likes and rt’s taking the piss out of #blackface:
    https://mobile.twitter.com/nicole_p_oliver/status/1094958440936628224

    Jonah Goldberg’s NRO, who one presumes has built some kind of snowflake bot-crawler to comb the innertubes for the slightest hint of PC excess, discovers the nobody tweet and runs a mocking story top of the landing page and cross promoted on every channel. They do this confident that every mouth breathing crazy uncle liberty MAGATroll will reliably link to the story and drive traffic because… FUCK YOUR FEELINGS, etc.

    Is it even a thing? Of course not. Not until NRO got hold of it. You can still get more likes and rt’s with a cat-cheezburger meme. But Rushbo will pick it up, FOX, etc. By next week the trailer parks will be filled with lively discussions about how “the blacks” always go too far. And while black America will be looking on going wtf?, about a third of registered Republicans will conclude that they are now hereby justified in blowing through the crosswalk next time “one of those people” dares to cross in front of them. President FingerFuck will trot it out at a night rally. And some cop will apply the pain compliance technique a bit more aggressively.

    And it will help convince these people that they are okay, they needn’t concern themselves with their own bigotry, and allow them to say with a perfectly straight face “I don’t see color”. It’s a hermetically sealed, self-ratifying universe of perpetual self destruction consuming the brains of about half of all voters. And the only way to correct it is to dillute them into insignificance.

    Have you ever wondered how Doctor Dumbfuck ran across this blog in the first place? I’m sure “Horse’s Ass” had something to do with it. Probably was trolling the internet for underage horses.

    That’s the thing about stuff going viral. It’s some nobody until somebody elevates it.

    The only reason these forced pregnancy freaks are still drumming on that washtub is because it brings the rubes and their checkbooks. The abortion genie is out of the bottle and has been for years. With the growing extremism among Republicans in the US, women and doctors are taking control and making the medicine safely available evetywhere.

  25. 25

    22,
    You certainly have never concerned yourself with your own bigotry. Why start now? So long as some nobody can always be counted on to exploit victimhood for personal gain, you can keep on telling yourself it’s all fake.

    Doctor Dumbfuck’s orange moron discovers 4th of July…

    “HOLD THE DATE! We will be having one of the biggest gatherings in the history of Washington, D.C., on July 4th. It will be called “A Salute To America” and will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Major fireworks display, entertainment and an address by your favorite President, me!”

    …and will hold campaign event on taxpayer’s dime.

    Thanks, Moscow!

  28. 28

    @22 Nathan Phillips owes his fame to one Nick Sandmann, who’s now seeking a second five minutes of notoriety on the courthouse steps, because he sure isn’t going to get anything in the courtroom..

  29. 29

    Now there’s an untapped business opportunity: Renting out smirking 16-year-olds to people who crave attention. Milo Yiannopoulos sure could use one of those. You don’t hear about him anymore.

  30. 30

    @23 Even PI can make $ in a market like this, although he can’t seem to get above +33% no matter what the market does. It’s like he ran into a border wall or something.

  31. 31

    @27 He doesn’t have qualms about pilfering another $100 million from military housing and schools for military kids. And Doctor Dumbfuck has no qualms about voting for someone like that. Not even a twinge.

  32. 32

    So the annual July 4th Celebration, Concert and Fireworks show is a campaign rally now. Stay classy.

    @ 27, 32

    Between 1/20/09 and 1/20/17, how many events at which President Obama spoke were not on the taxpayers’ dime?

    You fucks are becoming sillier and sillier. Just wait until the Mueller report concludes that Manafort was a crook in 2014 and nothing else.

    How sociology is done.

    …three counts of vandalizing political signs after fingerprints left on the signs matched up with hers.

    Patricia Wonch-Hill, a sociology professor at UNL, was cited for vandalizing the signs, which were the property of the campaigns of Nebraska Republican Sen. Deb Fischer and Republican Rep. Jeff Fortenberry. Campus Reform emailed Wonch-Hill for a comment, to which she responded, “Please have my comment read exactly “Fuck Campus Reform.” Hill then referred Campus Reform to her lawyer, Marc Delman, who told Campus Reform that Hill maintains her innocence.

    Hill has a history of previous politically motivated convictions. She received charges of destruction of property with intent and disorderly conduct in January 2018 and October 2017, respectively, in addition to the three counts of vandalism Hill is charged with this time…

    But wait, there’s more!

    Hill poured fake blood on the steps of NRA lobbyist Chris Cox’s Virginia home in January 2018.

    A Virginia court found Hill guilty of vandalism and ordered her to stay away from the Cox home, the business of Cox’s wife, as well as the D.C. and Virginia NRA offices, The Washington Post reported.

    Isn’t VA holding a complete new election because of fraud by the Repuke?

    Did the Dumbfuck have his head up his horses ass when that happened?

  36. 36

    35,
    See 33.
    Despite allocutions and stipulations in plea agreements and sentencing memos, Teh Dumbfuck and the rest of the Orange Baboon Troop remain convinced that the Republican Presidential Campaign Manager did not admit to criminal violations that occurred during the 2016 campaign.

    It seems some of the court records are invisible when viewed through the sticky film of jizz, porn lube, and dried diet Coke that forms Teh Orange Event Horizon.

    However, it is now a matter of record uncontested by the defendant that in August of 2016 he met with genuine Russian spies to pass along campaign polling data and to coordinate the use of that data in the GRU’s efforts to assist the Republican Presidential campaign. That is a thing that the Republican Presidential Campaign Manager admits to doing with the full knowledge of Individual 1.

    In order to persevere as a modern era Republican they’ve got to bury their heads in all kinds of strange places: porn hooker snatch, Bladen County trailer parks, starched white hoods, and of course horse’s asses.

  38. 38

    @33 Obama didn’t put on $100 million parades or fireworks shows on the taxpayers’ dime to round up votes. He didn’t need to round up votes. After the last GOP clusterfuck president, plenty of people were not only willing but eager to vote for him, and didn’t have to be talked into it with lies or threats against journalists.

  39. 39

    @34 “dumb twat”

    Sounds like something Bob Kraft might have said to those young teen sex slaves as he was raping them.

    @35 “Did the Dumbfuck have his head up his horses ass when that happened?”

    I think Doctor Dumbfuck wants us to talk about someone nobody has ever heard about before who vandalized a campaign sign instead talking about, say, a Republican sports idol who was busted for raping young teen sex slaves.

  40. 40

    @33 In other words, a crook working for an honest man. Good one. I’m laughing.

    Yeah, the Godfather was just an honest businessman, too. He merely happened to know a lot of gangsters because he lived in a tough neighborhood.

    …three counts of vandalizing political signs

    LOL! Many moons ago in our Seattle neighborhood some Republican dumbass would put up the biggest Dino Lossi and Mike! (remember him?) signs right where a lot of folks could see them.

    Let’s just say we were running a pool over how long those signs would last.

    No, they didn’t last long. Oh yeah!

    Dino 4-time Lossi. Mike! who?? It feels so good.

    Thanks for memories boob!

    Greetings to my fellow HA HEROES from our comfortable redoubt in Seattle.

    China’s Chief Negotiator Literally Laughs In Donald Trump’s Face During Trade Talk
    https://www.esquire.com/uk/latest-news/a26510434/chinas-chief-negotiator-literally-laughs-in-donald-trumps-face-during-trade-talk/

    I don’t like MOUs because they don’t mean anything,” he said during a presidential lecture in front of trade officials and Chinese vice premier Liu He. “To me, they don’t mean anything.”

    That is, in a very literal sense, not true. Robert Lighthizer, the White House’s top negotiator, made that clear, turning to the press to clear up any misunderstanding: “An MOU is a contract, it’s the way trade agreements are generally viewed… an MOU is a binding agreement between two people. It’s detailed. It covers everything in great detail. It’s a legal term. It’s a contract.”

    “By the way, I disagree,” Trump shot back. Liu burst out laughing.

    trump knows the best jokes. He tells jokes bigly! It’s a good thing he’s got a thick skin and doesn’t mind being laughed at.

  53. 53

    52,
    If you close your eyes and just listen, the Republican President sounds exactly like Bea Arthur.

    @52 Everyone knows what Trump thinks of contracts. They only exist to be broken, just like laws.

    The half dozen or so “volunteers” Roger Stone meekly tossed under the bus in his show cause hearing on Thursday are made up of a group of unemployed ProudBoy MAGA trolls working the Fred Perry grift. At least a couple of them are also being kept around for the amusement of Stone and his wife “in the lifestyle”*.

    As a result of his utter collapse in his hearing Stone is now silenced on social media regarding his case. But the gag is also extended to Stone commenting indirectly “by having statements made publicly on his behalf.” Que the ProudBoys/Mrs. Stone’s Bulls.

    This is not a Mensa society. Their “lawyer” was mentioned in a previous thread by RR – the lunatic who got his Texas bar card punched following a string of criminal and civil misdeeds surrounding the Fred Perry grift, some rule 11 violations, as well as an insurance scam. The reason these guys live at Roger Stone’s house (other than for the convenience of Mrs. Stone) is because their moms kicked them out. And I give Stone full credit for recognizing their vulnerability and putting their energy and stupidity to work for him.

    They have every right to express their opinions about Mr. Stone’s pending criminal trial. But given their track record on social media, it is hard to understand how Stone could feel very comfortable placing his freedom in their hands. It is simply not in their nature to refrain from boastful threats of violence. It’s all they got.

    *Teh Dumbfuck can explain it better than I can.

  58. 58

    @56 Stone has a missus? Who’d be stupid enough to marry him? Gotta be another Republican.

  60. 60

    58,
    His second. So creepy you can’t even imagine.

    Mrs. Stone cucks him. They found each other in their forties in the DC area when he was in partnership with Charlie Black, Lee Atwater, and Paul Manafucked. He was later fired from the Romney campaign when Mrs. Stone’s ads in DC area sex club magazines were discovered. At the time he claimed the ads were planted by a disgruntled employee – although that would hardly explain the accompanying photos. But a few years later he admitted that they were real and that he pays men to mount his wife while he looks on with great interest. Just part of his “lifestyle” as he tells it.

    Yes. This really is “the status quo” for Republicans now.
    Klownsurvaturd voters demanded a Republican nominee who would “shake things up”. They got a pathetic freak show. Forevah.

  61. 61

    “Did the Dumbfuck have his head up his horses ass when that happened?”

    Democrats need to be clear about this going forward.
    Republican voters are going to be pretending to have their heads up horse’s asses about a lot of things as we approach the 2020 elections. Widespread unlawful schemes of vote suppression, vote fraud, paramilitary white nationalist radical groups rioting in our communities and plotting political assassinations, hundreds of adversarial foreign nationals buying their way into Republican politics, an endless parade of sexual assault victims, and a very thoroughly documented history of foreign corruption surrounding the 2016 Republican Presidential campaign, to name only a few.

    On that last, here’s what has been entered into the legal record in the trials, pleas, and hearings so far:

    – January 20th, 2016, Mr. Trump’s personal attorney communicated to a Russian diplomat that the President was willing to work through the Russian spy agency and sanctioned Russian banks in order to advance an agreement for a Moscow tower real estate project.
    – June 9, 2016, Mr. Trump’s eldest son as head of the Trump Organization arranged a meeting at Trump Tower with representatives of the Russian government, and the senior leadership of the Republican Presidential Campaign to arrange to trade Russian sanctions relief in exchange for opposition research into the Clinton campaign.
    – August 2, 2016, The Republican Presidential Campaign Manager and the Deputy Republican Presidential Campaign Manager met with a Russian espionage agent in a private New York club to supply the Russian government with detailed election polling data to be used in assisting the campaign.
    – December 29, 2016, the incoming Deputy National Security Adviser relayed instructions from the President-elect to the incoming National Security Adviser to inform the Russian Premier that the recently announced sanctions by President Obama would be removed upon the President-elect’s taking office.
    – January 11, 2016 the brother of the incoming Secretary of Education met the leadership of the sanctioned Russian sovereign investment authority in the Seychelles to receive a series of bullet point instructions for US foreign, military, and security cooperation policy with Russia along with sanctions removal for the new administration.

    That shit is all on the record now. Presumably Mueller had most of it early on from NSA SigInt capture. But they’ve gotten parallel construction on all of it including sworn testimony and confirming documentation.

    That alone does not in my opinion build a case for impeachment. But it certainly builds a solid case for foreign influence peddling by the campaign in exchange for illegal campaign assistance. It’s a disgrace, as no fewer than three different federal judges have said so far. And of course, it is “collusion” whatever the fuck that is.

    This really is “the status quo” for Republicans now.
