High-speed internet isn’t a luxury good. It’s a utility, a human right, and the electricity of our time.
It must not be in the hands of giant monopolistic corporations like Comcast and AT&T.

Has Stephen Miller looked into increasing the charges for body disposal? Seems like that could be a lucrative area.
Trump’s Pick to Lead Homelessness Council Thinks Free Food Is ‘Enabling’

“Another shelter he boosted in Florida, called Pinellas Safe Harbor, was described in a 2014 report to the United Nations Committee Against Torture as a “cruel, inhuman, and degrading” choice for homeless people there. The shelter was bare-bones and required homeless people to sleep on the floor before “earning” a bed.”
Republicans hate the poor. They should all become very poor for some time, and live under their rules, since first hand knowledge seems to be the only way some of them learn.
These people making a big stink over some Peleton commercial should worry about something that’s really important versus this stupid “issue.”

Wherein calling out sexist media tropes causing a day long Twitter ‘thing’ is a ‘big stink.’
While we’re at it can we dispense with this one part of a couple made a pretty substantial financial decision without consulting their partner trope too? I’m looking at you Lexus December to Remember. You too Happy Honda Days.

The new version is, “I spent $2500 + $40 a month for her Christmas present and my wife better get up and get her ride in because of she’s not hot enough I might leave her.”
If you, a private individual person, find yourself engaged in a criminal conspiracy using your iPhone, and you are too motherfucking stupid to disable caller ID, then you may be fucked. If the government subpoenas your phone company for your call information you can prevent it by invoking your Fifth amendment rights. But if the government obtains someone else’s phone records, and that someone else is one of your co-conspirators, you’re fucked. In essence you fucked yourself.
But there’s an interesting corollary in this example. Notice I specified “a private individual person”. That is because corporations in general do not (as yet) have any established Fifth amendment rights against self-incrimination. The government can, and often does, subpoena all kinds of corporate records, including what often turn out to be very incriminating records. And they obtain production without any fights over self incrimination. Whereas if you or I were dumb enough to make a private documentary record of a criminal conspiracy, we could resist a subpoena for that record from government discovery by invoking our Fifth amendment rights. But if a corporation has records of its own criminal misdeeds it must produce them as a settled matter of law.
Which brings me to this:

That’s a motion for subpoena in the government’s case against the corporate overlords of the Borscht-Fueled Pimply Moldovan Script Kiddies. The records sought are detailed in the attachment. The last item is for the calendar entries for Putin’s Chef beginning two years before the election and continuing two years after. That’s a pretty long time span for such a busy and important man. Also very relevant to the underlying indictments. Could be very interesting to learn the who, where, and why of his meetings related to the bot-farm operations.

Thanks for that. My favorite is the half-gay husband wearing combat boots.
I have a couple of good friends who work in marketing – not in creative, but adjacent. And whenever I get the chance I try to pry out of them what the fuck these creative development and pitch meetings look like.
The doctor was talking about “Team Trump” in the last thread. I took it he meant “Team Putin”.

He claimed to his lawyer the mob boss was part of “the deep state,” a member of a liberal cabal working to undermine Trump.
Seems like he’s hoping the dotard will pardon him

What’s really important is that free Peloton cycle trainers for everybody are a human right.
Today is a good day for HA libbies. Two sheriff’s deputies in the Pensacola area took bullets while doing their jobs.
Alright, which one of you motherfuckers will be first to claim he’ll move to Canada if Trump is re-elected?
My money’s on ‘froggy. It’s not like he’s had much success getting a job in the States, so what’s he got to lose?
Canada’s job market unexpectedly weakened for a second-straight month, registering the biggest drop in employment since 2009 and casting doubt on the resiliency of the domestic outlook.
The economy lost 71,200 jobs in November, Statistics Canada said Friday in Ottawa, following a decline of 1,800 in the prior month. That pares the total number of jobs added this year to around 285,100.
The report missed the median economist forecast for a gain of 10,000 jobs. The unemployment rate increased to 5.9 per cent in the month, from 5.5 per cent in October, the biggest one-month jump since 2009. The decrease in employment was broad-based among both the goods-producing and service-producing sectors.

She’s in the safe space right now. She can cherry pick venue and audience, traveling around and delivering precision pandering wherever it is needed in order to seed her future fund raising.
But when that future comes as we know it will, and we find Ms. Haley making her announcement, let’s not forget that she is right now choosing to fuel her political future on the triple-distilled blood of African Americans gunned down in a church by White Power.
It is Every Single Republican You Know
And seriously, about Haley.
I’m as down as the next “elite, healthy, well-educated, affluent, progressive” to take the piss out of stupid, crybaby trailerdytes complaining that they “never expected leopards to eat MY face” right after they voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.
This has to do with Democrats, and how we respond every motherfucking time the corp media conspires yet again to present us with their latest example of The Respectable, Bi-partisan Sincerely Seeking Common Ground.
There are none. Not in that other party. Zero. Zilch. No surf.
It just doesn’t make any sense to keep on pretending otherwise. In every single case, on the back end we always find ourselves trying to come to grips with all the shitty, horrible things they professed to believe in order to climb into the party cockpit. And then we simultaneously have to spend every waking moment speculating how this “bi-partisn” will vote on circuit court nominee, Cthulhu Hitler, who perhaps has not yet committed any gang rapes that we know of – and even if he did, it was a long time ago, so…
It’s time. Time to be done with Republicans. Right on down to the fake bi-partisan ones. Because they aren’t. It’s a scam created by the media.
Early efforts by private power companies to encourage rural electrification failed because they did not address the main obstacle, which was the cost of the service. By the 1920s other countries, such as Europe, Canada, and New Zealand had made much better progress in electrifying rural areas through public cooperatives and government assistance, but until the Depression most people in the United States believed that such approaches were un-American and threatened traditional values of self-reliance and private enterprise.
Roosevelt was convinced that having electricity available to such areas in the nation would be one major step toward modernization and increased productivity.
President Herbert Hoover believed, however, that private enterprise should, and would, accomplish this objective. This was the view of those who hung onto faith in the marketplace as the primary solution. Very influential among this group were the electric companies and the holding corporations that owned them, for which decisions were driven mostly by the desire to maximize profits. These private companies, whose focus was electric power for industry, did not believe that most farmers could afford to pay what it would cost to deliver power to them at profitable rates. On the other side of the question were those who observed that rural electrification, which they saw as a social and humanitarian issue, was proceeding far too slowly in the hands of the electric companies. This camp was supported by “progressives,” who believed that government should assert its authority into the field of electrification to bring about important social changes.
The racist incel’s whining against universal broadband reminded me of the struggles for rural electrification. I wonder there were racist incels back then, furious that their taxes would pay for it. Arguing if it cost them money, the rurals should have to keep their outhouses and kerosene lanterns.

At today’s small business summit at the White House,
“The year was 1970 and I was a yuge supporter Vietnam warriors but we made a habit of using half a roll with each bowel movement which was the style at the time, we called it taking a dump which the PC police won’t let you say anymore, and we could just push that little handle once and everything would go down no problem not like these retard green new deal toilets they’ve got today where you got to flush 20 times. I‘lll make America great again like I’ve done and get the toilets working.”
@31
One time I had to flush 32 times. I couldn’t believe it! 32 times! I was going to make some type of gay reference….but nothing is COMING to me…maybe, Bob can help me.
Another thing – we need stronger deodorants. You use to be able to swipe once, just once, and it would leave you feeling fresh, the stuff was as good as a prime coat of Sherwin Williams eggshell #7. But today? Today….low VOC’s….now you actually have to swipe 8, 9, even 10 times and that’s just in one pit, one pit, can you believe it, just one pit? And if you don’t manscape and you’re real hairy there then maybe a 12th time for heaven’s fucking sake. It’s like you have to put a layer of bitumen under there……wait a minute….that’s good….good jobs for the coal miners! Nevermind
@31 They don’t make TP like they used to. Just cheap crap now.
Very, very serious question:
Does this mean Laura Ingraham will have to eat a steak stuffed with light bulbs out of a toilet?
