(I promise I’ll get back to politics at some point, but here’s more inane nonsense)
I was walking through the park and a man walking the other way started talking to me. Now I’m wearing headphones because I have something I’d rather do than talk to some stranger. Also, It’s Seattle, and we have a culture of keeping to ourselves, that I appreciate. But fine. I took my headphones off and started listening to him.
“You have long hair.”
I was aware. It wasn’t cool hair or cut your hair, hippie. Just a statement of fact that he knew that I knew.
Poor woman is about to turn into a rat. SAD!
“Secret recording reveals GOP lawmaker freaking out about ‘going down with the ship’ for Trump”
“It’s basically being taken out on me,” she said of Trump’s erratic behavior. “Any Republican member of Congress, you are going down with the ship. And we’re going to hand the gavel to Pelosi in 2018, they only need 28 seats and the path to that gavel being handed over is through my seat. And right now, it doesn’t matter that it’s me, it doesn’t matter what I’ve done. I have an ‘R’ next to my name and right now, this environment would have me not prevail.”

Cover half of your face Antifa-style and you won’t be bothered again.
@ 1
Google “Democrats separate from Obama 2014”.
This is nothing new. You might even lose fewer Senate seats in 2018 because of it.
Of course, it isn’t about preventing the GOP from getting to 60 anymore, is it, Steve?
I’ve got long hair, too, and I’m missing an eye. The guy in the park better not tell me anything, or I’ll strike him dead with Thor’s Hammer.
If he’ll lend me his hammer, that is.
“Of course, it isn’t about preventing the GOP from getting to 60 anymore, is it, Steve?”
Of course it isn’t, Doctor Dumbfuck. It’s about Russia, treason and loyal Americans seeing you traitors pay for what you’ve done.
Think on your sins. All 3,000+ of them.
1,
Trolls will never admit it. But Fuckface Von Clownstick will forever change the way the (R) after a name is perceived.
(R)ussiagate isnt dead. But Saint (R)eagan sure as fuck is.
Cato? Politically Incorrect? Beuhler? Anytroll?
Mmmmmmm. Yummy, yummy popcorn.
@ 6
But Saint (R)eagan sure as fuck is.
As is anything resembling Saint JFK.
What your ilk is, now, is an entity dedicated to exterminating anything that might be called a moderate Democrat.

So unhelpful. Focus should be on defeating mod Dems in #caleg rather than arguing over CDP chair
Yeah, can’t have any centrist thought, can you?

In addition to the amusingly poor grammar, we get pissy projection to tell us just how annoyed Dumbfuck really got at Comey’s testimony this week. Good times!
I wonder if Flynn will be leading chants of “LOCK HER UP!!” as he’s being frogmarched in handcuffs by federal agents?
@ 9
Ah, yes. I should be shackled and frog-marched, myself, by the Grammar Police Department.
You would make a great nun. I can see that metal ruler glisten.
@7 – WTF R U talking about?
The NASDAQ was down 1.80% today while the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high. The S&P 500 was pretty much flat.
I like days when there are big down moves in the market, so I made a purchase in the riskier side of my portfolio. Buy low, sell high!
One of the riskiest things an investor can do is to NOT assume enough risk. It sounds a little nutty, but taking prudent risks over the long term works when it comes to building wealth in the stock market. Today was a good day to “buy” a little risk.
11
I have no idea what he’s talking about either, Cato.
@ 12
Today was a good day to “buy” a little risk.
Was a pretty good day to offload some risk, too. Probably work out for each of us.
Ah, yes. I should be shackled and frog-marched, myself, by the Grammar Police Department.
It depends on how many inanimate objects you’ve ever “exterminated,” I suppose.

My Catholic-school educated friends always said a whipping with rosary beads was the real punishment to be feared — at least, by “your ilk.”

11, 13,
So you’re a failure as a Randroid too?
Not unbelievable at all.
Maybe he was blind for 40 years and can see again, and was simply reveling in being able to observe the world around him.
Of course, it’s also possible he’s some rightwing asshole who voted for Nixon and still associates long hair with pot-smoking anti-war hippies.
@1 “I have an ‘R’ next to my name”
Choices have consequences, and maybe to make that point clear, we should brand that “R” on her forehead so the whole world can clearly and unmistakably see what she is.
@3 “it isn’t about preventing the GOP from getting to 60 anymore”
What goes around, comes around. No majority lasts forever, as Teresa May just discovered. We don’t want to hear your complaints when we pass single payer and put Elizabeth Warren on the Supreme Court with 51 votes.
@8 Every Democrat is a moderate compared to almost any Republican. You’re the Party of Crazy now. For an all-too-typical example of a contemporary Republican, see, e.g.,
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ji.....m-of-rape/
@17
Whereas you’re just a failure.
FTFY
20,
Warren’s 67.
Try Kamala Harris.
Come to think of it, by the time Fuckface is done peeing in the corners of the Lincoln Bedroom the next Democratic President will have the opportunity to raise up a pretty massive young crop of United States Attorneys, judges, department appointees, and fill thousands of the highest level civil service jobs . I don’t suppose that little fact has gone unnoticed by those with ambition. Darn. Another strike against those with (R) tattooed on their foreheads.
Mmmmmm. Yummy, yummy popcorn.
@10 Alas, I’m not a nun, and therefore cannot enjoy the exquisite pleasure of beating on your ignorant knuckles with a metal ruler. I never tire of watching this movie scene, though:

It requires only a small leap of my rabbit’s imagination to visualize you in the Blues Boys’ place before The Penguin.
@22:
For a Friday afternoon with sunny weather in Seattle, we sure have ourselves some pissy trolls today.
Good times! :-D
@20 Old NAZI trick. Guess there is no difference between a Dem and and a Nazi.
@12 I’m waiting for it to go lower. The Trumpistas in the market are still placing too much faith in their faithless man and too much hope in his unrealistic agenda.
@14 Well, if he bought what you sold, only one of you will turn out to be right.
@26 I don’t see the connection. What am I missing? As far as I know, the Nazis weren’t into majority rule. In our country, the notion of a minority party (which the Nazis always were) dictating to the majority of the population (which the Nazis did) is more of a Republican thing (see, e.g., voter suppression, gerrymandering, religious discrimination, and laws against contraception).
@ 20

Harry Reid discovered it before she did.

You’re no longer to enjoy exquisite pleasure, period.
Although you’re getting better with a catheter by now, probs. Maybe look into sounding.
“The consolidation of the states into one vast empire, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of ruin which has overwhelmed all that preceded it.”
Robert E. Lee
Said over 100 years ago and very prophetic.
Looks like you were engaging in politics there in the park. At least you got an acknowledgment of your long hair. Perhaps you wanted that to be your long luminous hair. Or soft, but that would involve touching. Of course there is a theory in politics that all politics is really about sex. Could this have been one of those moments? Will you have a seat on the City Council because of your long hair in the future Carl? Checking out balding cures just in case? Is Seattle the city of political power is in your hair? There is a play by that name “Hair” and it has some politics in it.
@3 Well it’s entirely possible that the Republican’s could get to 66. That might save us all from impeachment fantasies. All of which is a waste of time if the Republican’s have more than 34 seats in the Senate. Or do you all want President Pence? Which is what you would have if the Senate would vote to remove the President which they could do because of the color o fthe mans hair. Removing Trump or any President from office could be a bad thing for the American people. Once done it demonstrates it can be done. True the Constitution says high crimes and misdemeanors but those are whatever the ?House decides they are. Yep that means I think the whole Clinton impeachment was wrong, but Clinton could have been removed from office just because he lied about sex. If only he had been a cad, hmmm well he still managed to come out of it as a President and a cad. Hilliary is still married to him, well if he dies that could help her 2020 Campaign.
@9 Any idea when that frog march will take place so I can mark my calendar. Personally I’m thinking never, or it will be a civil matter and he will pay a fine for not registering as a foreign agent, and he will hit the lobbyist dinner pail with all haste.
@20 Only 51 votes, every Republican will vote to put her on the bench if you only have 51 as they will bet they can get a Republican to replace her. And Pence will be a busy fellow as President of the Senate. President Trump might nominate her if he’s already gotten another pick, he can count.
@24 Only felons cannot vote in Illinois, but they can run for office. And most people in Illinois think all musicians are felons.
@27 I think you are there as you Democrats are waiting for Comey and Mueller to do wonderful things. You don’t mind the getting us into the Iraq war, weapons of mass destruction, rendition, Gitmo, ect these two had their hands into way back when there was a Bush in the white house.
@29 They did support some majority items like a large majority of residents of the Ruhr and Austria favored being reunited with Germany, only French and British opposition prevented unification. Pretty sure a snap election would have resulted in the NAZI party getting a majority. And don’t forget they were in the majority that formed a government in Germany and then as now one party getting a pure majority in the German government is rare. Shared power is the norm.
@30 It was not likely the Conservative government would survive Brexit, it’s why one Prime Minister resigned. May may go soon, but won’t be Prime Minister when Brexit is done And negotiations may drag on for a decade rather than the official two years. Still the people spoke and Brexit remorse grows. Just wait until the markets get the Brexit flu…the Brexit cough….the Brexir cancer.
