    Sometimes with the polarization we have today, I wonder if that mentality had persisted in the 50s, would we have beat Polio?

    Legal gun owner kills 9.

    Conservatives. We will no allow any restrictions on guns or gun owners AND we won’t pay for mental health care for anyone.

    It’s a good thing Tiger Woods is so badly injured. Imagine how First Vegetable Joe Biden will refer to him if he wins a tournament and someone asks ol’ Joe a question about it.

    Q: Who taught ol’ Joe race relations?

    A: Robert Byrd

    First Vegetable Joe Biden continues the Democrat presidential tradition of treating Asian people horribly.

    First, there was, you know, FDR’s decision to put Americans in cages. By executive order.

    Then there was Barack Obama’s decision to make the Dalai Lama use the servant’s entrance.

    Dalai Lama Trots Past White House Trash

    Now we’ve got Biden making the Japanese PM open his own door:

    No matter. Biden will make up for it when he butt-smooches China’s leadership.

    God bless you, Steve.

    You are one of the Patriotic Americans who really believes in Freedom and the Constitution. You keep your faith even when you know that there are people in this world, named Republicans, that fuck goats and other farm animals when little children aren’t available.

  9. 9

    I think it’s now in the AP style guide that the only reason a news source should identify the race of a person killed by police is when that person is a member of a minority class.

    Oregon newspaper deletes tweet identifying police shooting victim as a white person after online uproar

    “The man who was killed was a white male in his 30s, according to three sources with knowledge of the investigation. The Oregonian/OregonLive is identifying the man’s race in light of social unrest prompted by police shootings of Black people,” the tweet read.

    You know you’re doing something right when you piss off both the left and the right. You know you blew your chance at respect when you subsequently apologize for doing it.

    “Why would you run from the cops?”
    “Well for one reason, they cannot tell their Glock from their Taser.”

  12. 12

    “Why would you run from the cops?”
    “Well for one reason, they cannot tell their Glock from their Taser.”

    “You know if you follow their orders, they won’t need to use either and they’ll both remain holstered, don’t you?”

    ” ”

    You know that the only reason they’re trying to arrest you is because of that violent crime you committed with that firearm, and then you ditched the court hearing, and as a result there’s a warrant out for your arrest, don’t you?

    ” “

  13. 13

    As Rachel Maddow says often. “Don’t focus on what they say, focus on what they do”.

    We elected President Biden knowing full well he has an extraordinary ability to say cringy things like Jan. 31, 2007 “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. ”
    But we elected him expecting to take good progressive actions and so far President Biden been pretty good at it.

    Just like conservatives voted for the twice impeached loser who they knew full well said racist, bigoted and sexist things. They voted for him,expecting him to hurt the people they dispise. He spent his four years, doing that for his base, in between his real focus, grifting as much money as he could from the suckers and the levers of power.

  14. 14

    I heard that Russia offered bounties on the heads of US troops in Afghanistan, and First! Woman! President! Jill Biden did nothing about it.

    No, really.

  15. 15

    @12. “You know if you follow their orders, they won’t need to use either and they’ll both remain holstered, don’t you?”

    “Put up your hands”
    Biracial kid puts up hands
    Cop murders him anyway.

    So much for that brilliant argument.

    @ 13

    As Rachel Maddow says often.

    Maddow also said, often, that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

    She cried on national TV the night she found out it wasn’t true.

  20. 20

    We interrupt our interruption of the police killing trial with another police killing to bring you this breaking news of another high school shooting.

  21. 21

    Post the link of Rachel crying. I’d like very much to see that.

    Do you avoid the news that doesn’t fit your agenda?

    Variations of this are allover the legitimate media. I don’t know about 4chan and Fox news.

    But I know she said this….
    https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/collusion-sanctions-document-completes-circle-between-trump-camp-and-russian-intelligence-110288453868
    Rachel Maddow highlights a passage from the Treasury Department announcement of new sanctions against Russia that says Paul Manafort associate Konstantin Kilimnik delivered polling and campaign strategy information to Russian intelligence. Previously it was known that Manafort gave such materials to Kilimnik, but not what Kilimnik had done with them. Also previously known was that Russian intelligence interfered in the 2016 election to boost the Trump campaign.

  22. 22

    What kind of country sees Adam Toledo as a ‘thirteen-year-old man’ and Kyle Rittenhouse as a ‘little boy’?

  25. 25

    Seems like the only people that the cops are chasing and looking for are the black ones. I’m sure black cops can find many whites that have warrants and traffic violations, such as distracted driving.

    I wonder what would happen if a black cop stopped a hillbilly with an expired license tag, I’m sure it would go well, why have any doubts. But, but……

    Just as clear as Bob fucking a horse.

  27. 27

    3)That is sad. Just like in a few TRAINS Magazine articles on the 150th anniversary of the first Transcontinental Railroad, they did a sidebar on could it be done with the politics of today. Unfortunately, no. The joke was, by 2069, would have had a truncated line from Omaha to Reno. The starting point was 2012, with UP’s 150th Birthday.

    Not sure if everyone here knows, but Bob’s mare has a penis.

    Yup!

  30. 30

    Rachel Maddow highlights a passage from the Treasury Department announcement of new sanctions against Russia that says Paul Manafort associate Konstantin Kilimnik delivered polling and campaign strategy information to Russian intelligence.

    Many times I’ve asked our treasonous doctor, “If, as you repeatedly claim, there was no collusion with Russia, for what reason did the Trump campaign share internal polling data with Putin?” The doctor never had an answer for that and he still doesn’t.

    God bless dissent.

    Tensions rise within Biden administration as migrant kids crowd shelters

    In daily calls with representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other agencies, White House officials have demanded HHS speed up releases from its overloaded shelter system to free up space for children packed into crowded border patrol stations, the officials said. HHS is in charge of housing the migrant children and vetting potential U.S. sponsors, often parents and close relatives, who seek to take them in.

    The pressure on HHS comes as the administration is scrambling to open shelters to house children – mostly from Central America – who are crossing the border in record numbers, deepening a humanitarian crisis for Biden that is one of his first major tests in office.

    Now, wait a minute. I was assured that this is a challenge. Not a crisis. Don’t tell me I was misled. I know what I heard. It was prefaced with “Here’s the deal…”.

    The main White House aides exerting pressure on HHS are Susan Rice, Biden’s domestic policy adviser and a powerful voice within the administration, and Amy Pope, a senior adviser for migration hired last month to help deal with the escalating situation at the southern border, said two of the three officials. All were familiar with the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.

    I think that every Democrat criminal act in the last 28 years has had either #CrookedHillary’s or Susan Rice’s fingerprints all over it.

  32. 32

    I think that every Democrat criminal act in the last 28 years has had either #CrookedHillary’s or Susan Rice’s fingerprints all over it.

    Criminal acts? Hillary? Get real. What’s criminal is how much your stupid clown act sucks.

  33. 33

    5, 6,
    Racist incels struggling mightily to comprehend that it was calling a 30 year old married father a “boy” that is the problem here.

    It would actually be charming if people weren’t getting killed because of it.

  34. 34

    “Biden has spent decades building his reputation as an affable dealmaker who came up through the party’s centrist wing. During the 2020 campaign, he talked up his relationship with Republicans and hoped that after former President Trump left office that the ‘fever’ would break.

    “The bipartisan rhetoric has continued in the White House, with the administration reaching out to GOP lawmakers through private phone calls and publicly disclosed Oval Office meetings. [But] Republicans view the rhetoric as out-of-touch with how he’s governing, pointing to invites to the White House that don’t result in actual policy changes that move toward the GOP.

    “‘He’s been out with a dialogue of unity and bipartisanship and almost pulled off a masterpiece in that there’s not been any of that. And that we need to be clarifying that. I think the invitations to the White House, I was on one of those. … What did we end up with? Zero,’ Braun said.”

    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/548787-gop-acknowledges-struggle-to-bring-down-biden

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Maybe because the GOP is now so extreme they don’t recognize that Biden is already in the bipartisan center? What do they expect? He isn’t going to join the KKK or Proud Boys. Maybe they’re the ones out of touch with America’s middle. Maybe they’re the radicals. People who won’t even wear masks during a deadly pandemic don’t exactly appeal to people with common sense.

  35. 35

    Do you avoid the news that doesn’t fit your agenda?

    Yes. Of course she does. That’s precisely what they mean when they use the term “FAKE news”.

    And it’s more than the agenda. It’s the internalized self-identity.

    Russia lives.
    New evidence as well as newly unredacted and declassified evidence now shows direct linkage between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russia’s election interference campaign – including the direct election night hacking of systems in three states.

    Manafort supplied the campaign’s voter file data to Russian intelligence. Then on election night an ABC producer with a long standing relationship with Manafort supplied exit poll data to the campaign to indicate the precise states and counties where Trump was losing but where the balance could be tipped. Manafort supplied the exit poll data to Russian intelligence. Russia’s spearphishing operation took it from there, and moved the needle in three states as the polls were still open.

    It’s not over. It was never going to be over unless Trump could win or steal reelection. That’s why people like Roger Stone were in the Capitol on Jan 6th. Truth is, Trump was probably never criminally involved in most of this shit until after the fact. But this is precisely the kind of operation Manafort and Stone are known for.

  36. 36

    “Polling shows that Biden’s ideas are popular with a majority of Americans. Pew found that 67 percent of Americans approve the $1.9 trillion coronavirus package.”

    The Republican platform of cutting off unemployment benefits and evicting people from their homes isn’t doing as well, either in polling or at the polls. They still can’t figure out why.

  38. 38

    For Doc: “It’s official: The Trump campaign colluded with Russia.”

    https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/548794-there-was-trump-russia-collusion-and-trump-pardoned-the-colluder

    Actually, my thinking is a bit more circumspect. I think there’s another possibility here: That Trump, his kids, Manafort and Gates, and other campaign officials were dupes easily played by Russian intel agents.

    But I don’t see any other possibilities than those two.

  39. 39

    @1 I think American ingenuity and entrepreneurship would have won the day. The baby boomer generation would have survived, and today we’d all be fully mobile with lightweight titanium exoskeletons and portable “iron lungs” weighing only a few pounds strapped to our chests and powered by lithium battery packs weighing a few ounces.

  40. 40

    @5 Biden occasionally sticks his foot in his mouth. You always have your head up your ass. Between the two of you, I’ll pick him every time.

  41. 41

    @9 I was taught that when you piss off everybody, you’re not doing anything right. I guess you went to a different school.

  42. 42

    I’m not saying American journalism is in great shape, but it’s better than dictator-controlled media, which is the Trump approach enthusiastically embraced by every Republican you know.

  43. 43

    @12 “You know if you follow their orders, they won’t need to use either and they’ll both remain holstered, don’t you?”

    @13 “Just like conservatives voted for the twice impeached loser who they knew full well said racist, bigoted and sexist things.”

    The difference between Biden and Trump is that Biden is merely awkward whereas Trump actually means all the racist, bigoted, and sexist things he says. Guess which one is easier to live with? (Poor doc can’t figure that out.)

  46. 46

    @31 “I think that every Democrat criminal act in the last 28 years has had either #CrookedHillary’s or Susan Rice’s fingerprints all over it.”

    Wow, your Clinton Derangement Syndrome is really showing today. I think we found another reason you haul your sorry ass out of bed, not for debt, but for railing against someone, that despite years of investigation by partisan hacks, never was found guilty, let alone charged, for any crime.

    It must be a living hell for your horse and family to be near you.

  47. 47

    @18 Whether the dumbfuck likes it or not, cops shoot fleeing felons when they’re black. Note that in this context “felon” is loosely defined.

  48. 48

    #31. And the greedy racist incel ignores all the smackdown he’s gotten and desperately changes the subject.
    From his link
    “So far, the government has been able to reduce the number of kids in border patrol stations from a high of more than 5,700 on March 28 to less than 2,900 on April 13, according to government data. HHS has announced plans to add around 18,500 emergency beds this year, according to a Reuters tally, which would more than double capacity.”

    Trumps numbers were better since trump officials ejected unaccompanied migrant children from the U.S. without court hearings — taking no precautions to protect them from traffickers. I don’t recall the greedy racist incel concern trolling against that? If he did, I hope he posts links to prove me wrong.

  49. 49

    @23 Coulda fooled me. I thought they got their race relations education straight from the KKK without any intermediaries.

  50. 50

    @27 Of course it wouldn’t be done today, least of all in 2017-2020; Trump wouldn’t have let the Railroad Chinese get off the boat in San Francisco.

  53. 53

    @32 They’ve spent $100 million of taxpayer money investigating HIllary and couldn’t even nail her with a parking ticket.

  54. 54

    Ted Lieu Mocks House GOP Over ‘America First’ Caucus: ‘Will Non Aryans Be Allowed to Join?’
    Republicans Are Basically Starting a White Supremacist Caucus | They want to preserve “uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions,” like discrimination against non-white people.
    Can one be biracial and join? Do you get only half membership?

  55. 55

    The greedy racist incel knows he’s lying about Hillary and all powerful women but he repeats it over and over because it fits his ideology.

  56. 56

    @54 They were going to start a caucus to promote “Anglo Saxon political traditions and culture.” (As Greene et al. didn’t clarify exactly what that means, read into it whatever you like — white supremacy, a KKK front group, pro-slavery, etc.).

    Not anymore. Now that the “liberal-biased media” has exposed what they’re up to, forcing the GOP’s House leader to call it “dog whistles” (which is being polite) and Rep. Kinzinger said anyone who joins should be kicked off committees and denied participation in GOP caucus meetings, they’ve dropped the idea.

    Thank the media for making it go away. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Now if only Greene et al., and Republicans in general, would go away.

    Except Doc. We need him. Every blog needs a piñata, and HA is no exception. He fills that role very well.

  57. 57

    38,
    Manafort, Gates, Stone, et al were certainly not dupes.
    Trump and fam may have been at first. But because of Sen. Cancun they were desperate for a convention manager. And the only one they could find willing to work for the FuckTard campaign also happened to be in debt to Oleg Deripaska to the tune of over $19 million as well as holding outstanding personal debts for ostrich skin jackets and Patek Philippe wrist watches of close to $2 million, and real estate debts close to $5 million.

    Ah, but he was willing to work for the campaign for “free”, so what have you got to lose? 🤦‍♂️

  58. 58

    @ 52

    @31 Republicans desperately want to talk about the border in hopes nobody will notice surging Covid cases or gun violence.

    Why would I not want to talk about surging COVID-19 cases in Whitmer’s blue state?

    Whitmer’s previous lockdowns were draconian, and did not apply to her or to her family. Now nobody trusts her.

    I’d be glad to talk about gun violence, too. I’ll see your Indianapolis and raise you one Chicago.

    Did Pudy* return and start stealing one of Teh Dumbfuck’s sock-puppets?

    Bad Puddy!

    *Time for us to admit that motherfucker is dead from the ‘Rona.
    Too much trust in the Orange Man-Baby and the Invisible Sky-Daddy. Not enough stay-the-fuck-at-home, mask, and wash-your-hands. Won’t be the last.

  62. 62

    @60 I don’t think so. He’s supposed to be praying, not playing, on Saturdays. Don’t forget he’s a JW.

  63. 63

    @61 That cop’s a fucking idiot. He’s lucky she didn’t drop dead in the ER. What’s the standard sentence in Colorado for assault and battery resulting in broken bones on an 73-year old with dementia? Only 15 years? He oughta get 25. As for the civil suit, this case is a lawyer’s dream. Shouldn’t even bother to discuss settlement; just let the jury run with it. Then another city with a brain-dead police department can disincorporate.

  64. 64

    You know that the only reason they’re trying to arrest you is because of that violent crime you committed with that firearm, and then you ditched the court hearing, and as a result there’s a warrant out for your arrest, don’t you?

    You know Rep. Lauren Boebert had a warrant out for her arrest and that it was because she “ditched” the court hearing for the violent gun crime she committed in 2015, don’t you?

    And she hasn’t been shot “accidentally” even once.

  65. 65

    Details of the “shoplifting” incident,

    “In bodycam footage of the incident on June 26, 2020, Loveland, Colorado police officer Austin Hopp can be seen driving behind Karen Garner—a grandmother of nine who was accused of walking out of a Walmart without paying for items totaling $14—before getting out of his car and yelling for her to stop. Walmart employees stopped Garner when she stepped outside the store, reclaimed the items, denied her attempts to pay for them and called the police.”

    Sure looks like Walmart gets to help pay the judgment. Oh yeah, and the cops got a pay raise.

    https://www.newsweek.com/officers-get-pay-rise-viral-video-cop-breaking-73-year-old-karen-garners-bone-circulates-1584460

    More details of the “shoplifting” incident:

    “The incident took place on June 26, 2020 near a Walmart. Schielke said her client was accused of stealing $13.88 worth of merchandise from the store. Staff members were able to stop her before she left with the items. Schielke claims her client was confused and had slipped away from the supervision of her family at the time.”

    And the training Officer Hopp received before he manhandled the frail 80-lb. 73-year-old with dementia who was just going home:
    When asked if his department trains for interactions with people who live with disabilities, Ticer said they spend countless hours with each officer prioritizing proper responses. He said officers are even trained on how to interact with people who live with autism as well.

    “’We train regularly and often in identification of people in crisis,’ Ticer said.”

    Meanwhile, back at the law office of the civil rights attorney representing the frail, elderly, confused victim who still doesn’t understand why she had the shit knocked out of her by the 200-pound cop:

    “When asked what Schielke and her client are seeking, monetarily, from the City of Loveland, she said she would leave that to a jury to decide. However, she said Garner’s family wouldn’t be content until a significant payout was made.”

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/e2-80-98we-are-concerned-e2-80-99-loveland-police-chief-responds-to-forceful-arrest-of-73-year-old-with-dementia/ar-BB1fHAzt

    Yeah, I’d say someone’s gonna eat a shit sandwich over that one. Might as well be the stupid cop. But in any normal government bureaucracy, excluding police departments (which are never normal), the entire chain of command would go.

  66. 66

    63,
    Never been criminally charged and never will be. It took place a year ago. It’s in the news now because of the civil suit and the FOIA. And the only reason the civil suit will go forward is because Colorado has restricted qualified immunity. There’s actually a chance the plaintiff here can obtain monetary damages for having her civil rights violated by a team of police who get a masturbatory thrill beating up tiny old ladies and breaking their bones for sport. As far as the City of Loveland Colorado is concerned these sick fucks are “heroes in blue”.
    If it were not for the state legislature in Colorado having recently passed legislation restricting the use of QI to nope out of lawsuits this thing would have already been dismissed.

  67. 67

    As for what or who is bringing Michigan to its knees:

    “Perhaps what sets Michigan apart cannot be fully explained by the B.1.1.7 viral variant or reopening schools or not getting vaccines yet to younger people. Rather, perhaps this is another consequence of the unthinkable threats to the governor. She has become more tentative about doing the necessary thing and locking down her state, knowing the personal risk it might invite. The Lansing rioters of last spring may have set out to liberate Michigan but in their blind rage may have succeeded only in encumbering it with the dizzying danger of a runaway pandemic.”

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/14/opinions/michigan-covid-surge-and-vaccines-sepkowitz/index.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: I don’t think it’s quite fair to blame the governor for not insisting on people wearing masks when she has crazy people with guns threatening to kill her and her family if she does.

  68. 68

    65,
    since you’ve take the time thus far, go back and review the released copy of the body cam.

    Officer GrannyStomp has himself an audience. He confronts the recording witness and threatens him. Witness continues to record and stands his ground asking for GrannyStomp’s ID and his Sgt’s ID. But guess what? Sgt arrives to join in and gets his own licks in too!

    Then later while officer GrannyStomp continues to labor to catch his breath after winding himself beating a tiny old lady with Alz, you can see his Sgt in the distance himself threatening the recording witness and ordering him to drive away.

    More damn fine police work. Really is. Because this really is what we pay them to do. This is routine uniformed police work and this kind of thing is what they do – beating up terrified sick old ladies and threatening witnesses is all in a day’s work.

    If you don’t want these things to happen then don’t have police.
    It’s as simple as that.

  69. 69

    Not the first go-round for the Loveland PD dumbfucks. Just 3 days before they beat the shit out of the 73-year-old with dementia, they beat the shit out of a 60-year-old disabled man who witnessed a motorcycle accident and declined to tell the police what he saw.

    https://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2020/06/23/loveland-man-sues-police-claiming-excessive-force-false-arrest/3238531001/

    That one settled for $290,000.

    https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/colorado/articles/2021-01-26/excess-force-suit-against-loveland-police-settled-for-290k

    Same attorney, different victim, different cop, but same police department.

    … when she has crazy people Republicans with guns threatening to kill her and her family…

    ftfy

  71. 71

    @69 Correction, the lawsuit was filed 3 days before a different Loveland cop beat up the frail, elderly woman with dementia. The incident occurred several months earlier.

  72. 72

    “She just stole from Walmart and refused to stop, refused to listen to lawful orders, and to fight me,” Hopp told the man. “This is what happens when you fight the police. I have to use force to safely detain her. That’s what this is. This isn’t just some random act of aggression.”

  73. 73

    Why is it hard for conservatives to understand if you don’t follow masking guidelines you are exposing yourself and others to covid-19. That is what the science shows.

  74. 74

    Republicans: Wearing a mask violates my rights
    Also Republicans: I need to check your kids genitals.

  75. 75

    We have told you repeatedly how we could solve the murder problem in Chicago with strong gun regulations in neighboring states. Apparently neighboring states don’t care about murders in Chicago. So stop concern trolling if you conservatives don’t want to help fix the problem.

  77. 77

    @72 Looks like every elderly household in Loveland needs to have a supply of splints on hand in case the local police stop by to perform a “welfare check.”

  78. 78

    Fuck me.
    We learned last night that the FedEX slaughter-bot was an alt-Right, incel, MLP Brony just like Teh Dumbfuck. Facebook security has revealed to the WSJ that it took down two accounts tied to Hole in which the shooter expressed his longings for violent death and for a reunion in the afterlife with a beloved MLP character named “Applejack”.

    Of.

    Lori Lightfoot: Chicago Mayor to Resign After Being Caught Cheating on Wife?

    The post claimed the woman Lightfoot was having an affair with had a boyfriend who was caught for possession of a weapon and asked Lightfoot to “take care” of it. The extortion calls allegedly led to Eshleman finding out and “beating” Lightfoot.

    According to the tweet, police responded to the domestic dispute at the Lightfoot-Eshleman residence, where they ran into their daughter who told them “my moms are fighting.”

    I wonder if Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit still wants to talk gun violence.

  81. 81

    From the MLP fan Wiki:
    Applejack is a female Earth pony and one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She lives and works at Sweet Apple Acres with her grandmother Granny Smith, her older brother Big McIntosh, her younger sister Apple Bloom, and her dog Winona. She represents the element of honesty.

    Did that clear that up for you guys?

    Yeah. Me either.
    Fucking degenerates. Beyond redemption the whole goddamn lot of them. This really is who Republicans are now.

    Whatever Lori Lightfoot has done is not nearly as bad as what former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel did to cover up the Laquan McDonald killing.

  84. 84

    Now that the left has taken down a black, gay, woman liberal, what is left for them to accomplish?

  85. 85

    International Business Times
    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/international-business-times/

    In review, IBT publishes slightly left leaning tabloid style, attention-grabbing stories, or those with shock value.

    In their articles, The International Business Times publishes news stories utilizing credible news sources such as The Daily Beast and Atlanta Journal-Constitution. They also utilize factually mixed sources such as Fox News and Daily Mirror. The International Business Times sometimes reports news such as “Man Claims He Time Traveled From 2048 To Warn Of Alien Invasion.” This story originally appeared in Huff Po as “Weird News”, however The International Business Times / IBT published this story as “National News.”

    I can see how the greed racist incel would LOVE this to be true. but, given the tabloid headline and historu of inaccuracy of the media provided, I will reserve judgement until a legitimate news reports.

  86. 86

    “…the left has taken down…”. Greedy racist incel, you accidentally showed your values outside the thought bubble. By your logic, only the left lives the values the right claims to have. By your logic, if a republican had done that, the right would not have taken them down. The only thing that takes down a republican is not hurting minorities and the helpless enough and not bending an knee to the twice impeached loser.

  87. 87

    Conservatives despise both gun reform and mask wearing because both inconvenience their capacity to kill brown people.

  89. 89

    @80 Of course I want to “talk” gun violence:Let’s end it. That starts with taking guns away from dangerous, violent, deluded, crazy people who shouldn’t have them, which is almost every Republican you know.

    And the last man in America to acknowledge that what he has caused has morphed into a full-blown crisis is…

    President Joe Biden finally called the border situation a ‘crisis’ on Saturday after playing his first round of golf since taking office.

    Better way, way too late than…

  93. 93

    Why not just post random words?

    Wait.
    Did I miss something?

    This is what I get for “tearing” myself away from screens to enjoy some quality time watering the garden. TaraPuddy finally assembles subject/predicate in a meaningful order with nouns and verbs describing something faintly adjacent to real life and I missed it.

    Did it feature any ponies?
    How about imaginary Canadian Supermodel Girlfriends “FB friends from CO”?

    It will remain an unsurpassed achievement in pointless gaslighting that Tara still wants to talk to us “libs” about cancel while this is going on:

    https://mobile.twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1383709884114341892

    I guess this is really just how these sad clowns gaslight themselves.
    Somehow

    “this faintly strident hypocritical thing over here”

    makes

    “this fundraising to relight the gas chambers over there”

    perfectly fine.

    Honestly, I think this shit that Tara/Puddy does is kind of a public service. Putting these kinds of things side by side in this way is very useful to help Americans better understand exactly what “conservatives” are up to. And it is not harmless “LARPing”.

  95. 95

    Did Pudy* return and start stealing one of Teh Dumbfuck’s sock-puppets?

    Puddy is gone, off somewhere happily enjoying himself a few scoops of triple chocolate ice cream.

    I see @58 as the doctor holding himself a ‘coming out’ party, becoming HA’s new loon. And how could this be? My theory is that Puddy’s sudden disappearance created a vacuum on the other side of the orange event horizon which sucked the doctor into the space formerly occupied by Puddy. This turned the doctor into a whole new entity, an awful thing, kind of like he’s now a batshit insane dumbfuck or something.

  96. 96

    @ 95

    I see @58 as…

    Here’s something Steve won’t see. At least not on RawStory, where shit like this usually shows up pretty quickly.

    The Secret Service says the threats against the vice president were discovered when the Miami nurse sent the videos to her husband in prison.

    If the death was so unexpected and innocuous, reported as a woman who collapsed

    Brodie-Henderson collapsed on Friday evening and could not be revived at a nearby hospital, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra wrote in an email to staff.

    (link @ 100)

    and could not be revived, why do this immediately afterward?

    500 migrant girls transported from Houston holding facility after reported incident

    Immigrant led organizations are searching for answers as to why officials abruptly closed a Houston-area shelter which was housing hundreds of young migrant girls on Saturday.

    A flurry of activity was seen at the shelter just before the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the teens would be transferred or reunited with family or sponsors, more than two weeks after the facility opened.
    …
    The reason for the transfers Saturday weren’t immediately clear, though the agency cited “continuity of care under conditions that meet our strict standards of care in ORR state licensed shelters, the Carrizo Springs Influx Care Facility or Emergency Intake Sites where beds have become available.”

    I’m starting to think that the woman might have collapsed and died after she was shivved.

    Has anyone noticed that there aren’t any photos of Biden actually playing golf? Not one.

    Politico ran the story with a photo of Biden golfing in Ireland nearly five years ago.

    Here’s the AFP reporting on it:

    Reporters traveling with Biden were unable to see the president playing, although he appeared to be with a group riding in a mini-motorcade of half a dozen golf carts across a wide grassy fairway.

    Wouldn’t they want to see comparison follow-through photos between Biden’s lean physique and Trump’s fat ass?

    Maybe this is the Biden version of the GWB43 plastic Xmas turkey story.

    @99 Wherein Teh Dumbfuck falls back on “Chicago crime” to distract attention from the armed rightwing militias storming state capitols because brandishing guns is their idea of governing.

    This morning, Teh Dumbfuck cataloged 50 people who’ve been killed by gunfire in Chicago so far this year. In a metro area of nearly 10 million people, that’s roughly 1 of every 200,000 people.

    In rural South Dakota, where they don’t believe in health restrictions, roughly 1 of every 450 state residents have died from Covid.

    No name recognition or political experience, though. She may be great as a veterans’ advocate, but that doesn’t qualify her for the U.S. Senate. And I don’t think Washington would replace Murray with a Republican from Tri-Cities under any circumstances.

    ATTENTION BROWN PEOPLE!
    ATTENTION BROWN PEOPLE!

    NEW STANDARD FOR KILLING YOU ALERT!
    New Standard Alert at 97! New Standard Alert at 97!

    You are hereby notified that the “inside” safety interval for holding or touching a weapon is now 8.4 seconds (EIGHT SECONDS PLUS FOUR TENTHS OF ONE SECOND). Within that time frame you are to be shot. Outside of that time frame is as yet unknown (In case you were wondering, we are making this shit up as we go along, killing you and stuff).

    If you own a handgun, carry one on your person, and you encounter a police officer, and you are unable to disarm yourself in less than 8.4 seconds before the police officers observes you, it is the opinion of we “the authorities” that you better open fire for your own safety because YOU WILL BE SHOT, even if you unilaterally disarm yourself.

    For this reason we “the authorities” are developing a new downloadable “app” available on The App Store and Google Play Store beginning Monday. Using advanced GPS tracking and NFC proximity sensing technology, the “DEATH TIMER®” will automatically alert you when you are within range of any police officer. Then using its state of the art, advanced AI the “DEATH TIMER®” will make the call for you.

    If there is sufficient time a soft chime will sound and a gentle, reassuring automated voice will instruct you to “Disarm immediately. Disarm immediately.”
    However, in the event that the advanced, state of the art “predictive algorithm” concludes there is insufficient time, then a loud klaxon will sound and shrill command voice will provide you with targeting guidance and repeat commands to “KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!”

    Plans start at only $9.99 per month. Group and family plans are available. Smartphone with data plan not included.

    For one that’s not true and you know it. And secondly there is a difference in circumstances that make one most objectionable than the other relatively speaking. But there is little daylight between the two, each a travesty

    If you want to play that game please tell us why abortion is so objectionable to conservatives that don’t give a shit about any life, in a state of death after born or in a state of living once born.

    Liberals do speak out for “The little girl “not running from cops” by talking about gun control and by improving the lives of minorities to lift them from those circumstances.

    And the more egregious circumstances of a person of authority abusing their authority to the extent of discrimination and infringing on civil liberties is also for that “little girl” that Repukes don’t really give a shit about.

    If you really gave a shat about her you’d express that directly in stead of just using her to mischaracterize your enemy.

    Looks like Prime Minister Boris Johnson is admitting the failures of the Thatcher-era deregulation and privatization of bus operations. He has launched his “Bus Back Better” scheme, pushing for franchising and enhanced partnerships. In many communities, there is too much service between competing operators on some routes, and no service at all in others. Sometimes not even ticketing and fares are co-ordinated. London was exempted, but routes were still franchised out.
