    Michael Collins, getting more recognized everyday. Without him keeping Columbia flying, Neil and Buzz would have not made it home. Like the vision he has, forget the Moon, go to Mars.

    I think the more interesting story is whether she fucked him.

    Did Ilhan Omar marry her brother? Her hometown newspaper investigated and told us what they found

    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/jul/18/did-ilhan-omar-marry-her-brother-her-hometown-news/

    Seriously, this has been under the radar for more than a year, because the Strib wouldn’t give it the time of day. Once they did, Omar was uncooperative.

    There’s very strong evidence that she married her brother in order to get him into the US. And now we’re seeing it on Drudge and Politifact.

    Oberlin College wants to appeal the judgement against it for its behavior against the owners of a town bakery. But Oberlin College doesn’t want to post a bond for the money it owes while the appeal is in process. Here’s why:

    The judgment interest rate in 2019 is 5%. Therefore, if appeals of this case last just three years, the total amount of post-judgment interest that Defendants will have to pay is $4,742,179.77 –which is $1,580,726.59 per year or $4,330.76 per day.

    “Push back twice as hard.” works both ways. Y’all are about to find that out. Keep it up, libbies.

    So, maybe the Bernie campaign workers shouldn’t have been asking for $15/hr. They should have been demanding overtime pay.

    Sanders said field organizers, who are the lowest-ranking members of a presidential campaign and are typically in their 20s, make $36,000 a year with 100% employer-paid health care, as well as paid vacation and sick leave.

    For a staffer working 40 hours a week, that comes out to about $17 an hour. But 40-hour workweeks on presidential campaigns are rare. Sanders said the campaign will limit the number of hours staffers work to 42 or 43 each week to ensure they’re making the equivalent of $15 an hour.

    There is not one single scrap. None. Nuthin’. Nada. Zero.

    The only thing a racist fuck nozzle like Teh Dumbfuck or any of his puppet masters could ever offer is perhaps an absence of evidence that her second husband was not her brother.
    You don’t have to be a super genius to see how that kind of presumption, – that if you are non-white and born in a broken un-developed country in Africa, we can just go ahead and assume that you married a close relative – just a teeny tiny bit totally fucking racist.

    Still, calling Teh Dumbfuck a filthy bigot for wallowing in this kind of repellant PizzaCannibal bullshit hurts his pweshus feewings.
    And therefor, how we get MORE TRUMP.
    yup.

    This sort of depraved fantasy has titillated fuckwad racists like boob for many generations..

    Oh the days gone past when the white slavemasters could take “liberties” with their “property”..

    Great job boob, klownserving the “tradition”.. Thanks for showing the world what klownservaticism is all about.

    Y’all are about to find that out. Keep it up, libbies

    Ohhh, I’m so scarred. The Country will be fucked and it’ll be all my fault….whannn, whannn whannnn, it’s all my fault. STFU libbies!

    Oh gosh.
    Where, oh where will we get the next generation of librarians with a trust fund?

    If we had thought the president committed no crime we would have said so

    Dumbfuck: Exonerated!

    We can’t conclusively say he is or is not her brother

    Dumbfuck:

    He’s her brother!

    10,
    Not to be super duper technical about it, but…

    …there is a material difference between “We are not answering a question we are forbidden to answer”
    and “We are not answering a question because so far we don’t like the answer we are getting”.

    White dude, Senator, wealthy af, tons of very, very wealthy and powerful friends, born with a silver spoon, gifted with every possible advantage (other than looks or charm), absolutely will not stand up to defend the dignity of those weaker than him. At least not if they happen to be non-white.

    It’s who they are.

    11)Ironic, an event about bringing people together, and he has to ruin it. It’s partly the very American Exceptionalism they espouse, but we did have some help from German Scientists, and a few Canadian engineers.(Some of the engineers put out of work by the CF-105 came to the US.)

    Yesterday, in a courtyard in Berlin, the annual remembrance of the Valkyrie plot was observed. It included speeches from Chancellor Merkel and others, and a wreath laying ceremony. New recruits for the Bundeswehr are also sworn in.

    This is something interesting from One of my favorite YouTube channels. It’s a video about the Monument of the Federal German Republic to the Victim’s of War and Dictatorship. The Neu Wache Memorial was originally a guard house to one of the Royal palaces but was repurposed several times. The unit that provided the ceremonial guard in the days of the Reichswehr, the Berlin Guards Battalion of Regiment 9 Potsdam, had an interesting distinction. Many members of Regiment 9 were involved in the resistance plots.

    For apartment-hunters in Santa Ana, California, a city about an hour south of Los Angeles, a $625-per-month sublet recently listed on Craigslist, a classified-advertising website, might seem ideal. The apartment, which is shared among four 20- and 30-somethings, is spacious, tidy and only minutes from a park. It comes with conditions, however: “No racists, no homophobes, no Trump supporters!” Discrimination of this sort is not uncommon on Craigslist, which is based in San Francisco. Toni, an artist seeking a flatmate in Ann Arbor, Michigan, advises potential applicants, “I won’t live with anyone bigoted, racist, sexist, or Trump supporting.” Another Craigslist-poster in Missoula, Montana warns, “Trump supporters need not apply”.

    >> Why would anyone want to rent to someone who was racist, bigoted, take no responsibility for their messes, and not pay their bills?
    >> Nobody wants to date trump supporters or live with them.
    >> Do not tolerate the intolerant. Vote.

    In case you thought paying for a giant city police force was keeping you safer by investigating and catching violent criminals:
    They don’t.

  22. 22

    @ 20

    QoS McHillbilly, are there violent criminal acts that don’t involve rape? Because the piece you linked to is only about the latter, it seems.

  23. 23

    Proudly triggering the misogynist klownservs since 2004…

    Expanded, improved Social Security.. Basic Income? That’s just SS for all. You can swap EITC and other income support for non-retirees for that. The idea is ahead of the curve.. When robotics are pervasive – it’s a shoo in..

    Medicare for all.. Like in so many other OECD countries.

    Free college.. Like in so many other countries…

    Family support (paid family leave)

    Mandated time off work….

    Like in so many other advanced economies…

    High speed rail.. – commie china has more than all advanced economies combined.

    Liz Warren is looking pretty good to me. She even calls herself a capitalist..

    Foot in mouth Joe’s time passed in the 90’s at the latest…

    @22

    Solve ALL the other crimes before you test the rape kits is one of your better takes.

    Sad. Low energy.

  25. 25

    Solve ALL the other crimes before you test the rape kits is one of your better takes.

    Boob’s ultimate fantasy: all rape is “legitimate”..

    Forget Sanford coming back off the appalachian trail. Limbaugh says deficits and budget balancing was always “bogus”. Except of course when applied to a certain black guy in charge.

    Bring back Akin – a klownservatic who was too ahead of its time.

  26. 26

    @23 I remember when people thought a capitalist was someone who came up with a better idea, invested money to build a factory and hire workers, and competed in the open market.

    Now, people think of capitalists as vultures who rig the system in their own favor.

  27. 27

    Now, people think of capitalists as vultures who rig the system in their own favor.

    There is no other “legitimate” definition of capitalism to our rapey troll boob..

    All rape, all the time.

    24,
    Every day, in every way, Trump makes them sadder, weaker, more depraved, and above all else, more stupid.
    I consider myself truly fortunate to have been here to see it unfold.
    Thanks to Goldy, Carl, and Darryl.

    GOP in Unison on Sunday Shows, “Those remarks and tweets aren’t racist. Donald is calling out Anti-Semitism and Anti-Semitism is un-American. The tweets are a defense of our friendship with Israel.”

    Bitch please he said very fine people about deranged white boys in the streets chanting, “Jews will NOT replace us.”

  33. 33

    31,
    Jews in Middle East = Friends
    Jews in Virginia = Threat to White Civilization

    Somehow I doubt Jewish voters are reassured by a parade of the Country Club Membership Committee apologizing about the “big misunderstanding over a few burning crosses”.

    @ 18

    Why would anyone want to rent to…

    For one thing, they’re unlikely to pull a YLB when the rent is due.

    It’s OK, because she’s a minority.

    Dow breast implant case spotlights Elizabeth Warren’s work helping big corporations navigate bankruptcies


    “She was on the wrong side of the table,” said Sybil Goldrich, who co-founded a support group for women with implants and battled the companies for years. Goldrich said Dow Corning and its parent “used every trick in the book” to limit the size of payouts to women. The companies, she added, “were not easy to deal with at all.”
    A person familiar with Warren’s role who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe litigation strategy said the future senator was part of a Dow defense team that had containing the company’s liability as a goal.

    Heap big wampum paid to her, too.

    Warren declined an interview request.

    @39 “Horse is like you, gman … no balls.”

    Sorry, doc, but fucking a mare instead of a stallion doesn’t make you normal.

  41. 41

    …a Dow defense team that had containing the company’s liability as a goal.

    Because any other goal can get your ass disbarred, bankrupt you and your partners, and in the end leave the plaintiffs no better off than if you’d just done your goddamn job in the first place.

    Look, the fact that I and every single L2 understands more about tort law in the US than Teh Dumbfuck and most journalists should come as no surprise. This is our system.

    Racist incel, come back to us when you have evidence of Senator Warren withholding or destroying evidence, suborning false testimony, or tampering with wittnesses. You are a fucking clown. She did her job. She did it very well if your report is to be believed.

    When has it ever been possible to say those words about the finger rapist you voted for in 2016?

  42. 42

    @ 41

    When has it ever been possible to say those words about the finger rapist you voted for in 2016?

    Well, I’d start with the words, “Because you’d be in jail.”

    From there I’d say the nominations of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.

    Then there was that tax reduction bill signature thingy.

    Oh, and all of those judicial nominations.

    But it’s late and I’m not inclined to go further.

    Really, the SCOTUS nominations are enough, QoS McHillbilly.

  43. 43

    @ 41

    It’s kind of like that joke about the two guys running from the bear. The survivor doesn’t have to outrun the bear. He just has to outrun the other guy.

    Trump didn’t have to be wonderful, or even likable. He just had to have fewer flaws than the miserable excuse for a human being that the Democrats staked their future on. And a sufficient number of people thought he did, at least in the swing states. It didn’t help Hillary that not only was she awful, but so was Robby Mook.

    Steve’s gonna be really unhappy when Trump’s re-elected because Dems decide that 2020 is the year they should double down on stupid.

  44. 44

    You’ve become the Grand Wizard of Weak Sauce.

    Warren is a bad lawyer person because…
    Beer Bong Bart! And Tank Full ‘O Gas! And Robby Mook! And Steve’s Imaginary Tears!

    Now do Lock Her Up, you sad clown.
    Then wait 24 hrs for another fresh thread and you can start this humiliating cycle all over again with whatever steaming bullshit Jacob Wohl feeds you next.

  46. 46

    @42,
    You left out peace in the middle east, de-nuclearized North Korea, clean coal jobs rennaisance, securing the borders, and restoring health care financial security for fifty million uninsured.

    And one helluva 4th of July party!

    MAGA!

    Speaking of tort lawyers,The NFL are still litigating not having to pay the settlement they agreed to for decades of knowledge about the link between concussions suffered by players and deteriorating mental health and later. CTE.

    But be sure to stand for the flag you sons of bitches!

  48. 48

    47,
    I have no idea what firm/firms are repping the NFL here.
    But that really isn’t the point. John Grisham novels notwithstanding, a lawyers job is to represent the client, including the client’s financial interest. A client can walk into a meeting and say “Settle this. Capitulate. Give them everything they want. I order you to do this for me. It is what I want.” And any lawyer worth their salt will still call a time out, get them to put it all in writing, and demand witnesses and a hearing in front of a judge.

    Our system isn’t perfect, but it’s quite a bit better than most of the others. And it really does depend on this. It depends on advocacy. Ideally it should be symmetrical. It often is not. The way to fix that does not actually include one side or the other fucking off and failing to do their job properly. And if you think civil is bad, it’s a fucking Utopian ideal compared to the criminal system.

  49. 49

    @48

    With the NFL it is a little Murky. They went through discovery and initial motions and then settled the case before trial. Made a big splash in the media about “doing right by our legacy players.”

    Then after signing the agreement they filed suit to break it citing that they had not anticipated the number of players that would be eligible for payment. So either their law firm was inept during settlement negotiations or they never had any intention of living up to the settlement which is legally dubious.

    But most fans just know that the NFL settled the concussion case because no one is covering it anymore.

    But a player kneeling is apparently beyond the pale.
