I was talking to Darryl last night, and he wants you all to know he is very, very, very sorry that he missed yesterday’s Drinking Liberally thread. It’s a deep sadness. It probably kept him up last night. He’s wearing a hare shirt.

    That’s “hair” shirt, not “hare” shirt, Carl. You obviously have rabbits on your mind.

    Time for crocodile tears:

    “Four U.S. states on the Gulf of Mexico stand to lose billions … if a proposal in the president’s new budget survives Congressional scrutiny. The White House … proposed ending a program that shares revenue from offshore oil and gas drilling with the states …. Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas — all of which went to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election — are trying to close their own budget gaps amid a protracted oil price downturn and as the new White House budget asks them to absorb cuts to social welfare programs.”

    Well now that it looks like the trolls are officially gone (we could only hope) Darryl can make it up with extra celebration.

    58 comments over the preceding 48 hours, by the usual several suspects, including eight by the Psychopath Formerly Known As gman.

    What, exactly, would there be to celebrate?

    “58 comments over the preceding 48 hours”

    And by comparison…

    Citing a 1957 precedent, Thomas wrote, “this Court definitively and unambiguously held that the word ‘reside[nce]’ … has a particular meaning as applied to domestic corporations: It refers only to the State of incorporation.”

    Life might have just become a wee bit harder for lawyers looking to fleece corporations.

    How blatant was the venue-shopping abuse? Glad you asked.

    Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller filed a brief siding with TC Heartland, even though a decision in the company’s favor would affect the economy of Marshall and Tyler, Texas, where the Eastern District resides. “Marshall is so popular for patent suits that a hotel there got a Public Access to Court Electronic Records subscription and offered this electronic access to federal court dockets to help sell rooms to lawyers,” Keller wrote on behalf of Texas and 17 other states.

    Radio reception on Whidbey must be bad. I don’t get Air America over here at all.

    Take heart, Doctor Dumbfuck, as I’m sure you can get Limbaugh and Hannity on multiple stations.

    I’m south of the Mason-Dixon line on the island, Steve.

    With both newspapers housed in one building, some saw the change as a coming together of the island, which is famous for its north/south divide. In short form, the cliche’ is that the military is seen as dominating the north end, and environmentalists the south end.
    …
    Added Helen Price Johnson, county commissioner, “What a great way to help diminish the Mason/Dixon line, we have more in common that what separates us.”

    “I’m south of the Mason-Dixon line on the island, Steve.”

    All the same, you might want to consider moving a little further away from the naval air station, long known by the Russkies as “ground zero”. You know, just in case your hashtag hero starts WWIII with a tweet?

  14. 14

    Radio reception on Whidbey must be bad.

    WTF is Врач немой ебать prattling on about now? What is this “Radio” he’s talking about? Reception? Like for a wedding? I think I remember a Cuba Gooding Jr. movie. Is that it? Or is this another one of those old people things, like “dialing” a phone number or “making a Xerox”?

    He probably calls a sofa “the Davenport”. Priceless. No, really. It’s part of our culture slipping away. We need to record and preserve it so future generations can appreciate how cripplingly backward and retrograde the Hillbilly-Traitors really were. And so painfully ironic hipsters can obsess over it and adopt it briefly as fashion. Back in his day, I’ll bet Врач немой ебать had some pretty “Gear” mutton chops drivin’ around in his “bitchin Camaro”.

    Well, no.

    Although I’ll admit to graduating high school in a lime green leisure suit and platform shoes, all 137# of me. Boston on the 8-track.

  17. 17

    @4 You’re the poster who’s been celebrating a lot lately, so you’re in the best position to answer that question. We’ve been wondering ourselves ever since Nov. 8 what the hell there is to celebrate.

    @6 If companies can shop for friendly places to incorporate, why shouldn’t lawyers be able to shop for friendly places to sue them?

  19. 19

    @7 All of these definitions are true. I’m just a hare-brained rabbit. I’ll give you that one as a freebie. Having admitted as much, it’s now my turn: How do you explain away the fact that, despite me being just a hare-brained rabbit, I’m still way smarter than you? Where does that leave you on the dumbfuck scale? Oops, maybe you shouldn’t have brought up this topic …

    @9 She said she borrowed it from your wife and has no intention of returning it. It’s my understanding your wife has been spending time in the horse barn to make up for the loss of her Sybian.

    @14 “What is this ‘Radio’ he’s talking about?”

    You don’t know? It’s obvious. The radio receiver in his head, of course. Where the voices in his head come from. His tinfoil hat doubles as an antenna.

  23. 23

    @15 “I’ll admit to graduating high school in a lime green leisure suit and platform shoes”

    Of course, the rest of us had suspected this all along.

    @6 If companies can shop for friendly places to incorporate, why shouldn’t lawyers be able to shop for friendly places to sue them?

    ’cause Justices Thomas, Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, RBG, Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan.

    8-0. Something about that you did not understand?

  25. 25

    What I understand is that the Hillbilly-Traitor vision of an American Taliban Theocratic Supreme Court is being reduced to hysterical end-zone dances over rulings of significance to no one outside a small handful of Jerry Lemelson’s kids.
    Is that Melania slapping your hand away, or is it the Sweet Baby Jesus?

    Last week on Wednesday, the Dow was down nearly 400 points, and I made a buy on that day. As it turns out, it was a good decision. The market has recovered every bit of that one-day loss and then some!

    When people are scared, it’s time to buy. When people are confident, it’s time to sell or at least do nothing. Fear and greed are the only two emotions on Wall Street. The trick is to maintain discipline and make buys when things look bad. Add diversity and delayed gratification, and you’ve got yourself an investment strategy to build wealth over time.

    More Republicans, perhaps emboldened by The Donald to believe they can get away with anything, are getting physical with people. Greg Gianforte, GOP candidate for Montana’s House seat, reportedly assaulted a reporter, then his campaign released a statement blaming the reporter.

    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mo.....-reporter/

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Of course, GOP voters will eat this up, applaud the guy, and vote for him.

  33. 33

    To be clear, at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see Jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward Gianforte

    Well, maybe not “physical aggression”, but what about “furtive movements” or “an aggressive posture”. Regardless of the biased eyewitness reporting of Bret Baier’s own FauxSnews team, I’m quite sure Mr. Gianforte “held reasonable fear for his personal safety” when confronted by such an intimidating physical specimen. It’s widely understood that “those people” have abnormal physical strength, particularly when they get “hopped up” on their street drug of choice, Triple Vente. Operating under deep cover for many years posing as an “independent journalist” while secretly taking orders from George Soros undoubtedly took it’s toll on Jacobs, who quite obviously finally snapped. It’s only because of his training and ferret-like reactions that Gianforte is alive today to suffer this Derp State smear job being coordinated by ISIS.

    This is a fight for the soul of Montana—and we need your voice to be heard. Go out and vote TOMORROW!

    Don’t blame the candidate. You wanted a fight. Next time don’t send a reporter to start it.

  36. 36

    @35 Sorry, Boob, but there were witnesses. Not “liberal” reporters, but Fox News types, who backed the reporter and called Gianforte a liar. As usual, you’re full of shit.

  37. 37

    “Next time don’t send a reporter to start it.”

    Good grief, Doctor! Even Fox News doesn’t buy your weak sauce bullshit.

    @ 36

    I’m quite aware of that. It was snark.

    If he goes down, he goes down. It was a stupid thing to do, although I’d agree with you @ 28 that he would get more GOP votes out of it, if there was video.

    People tend not to like assholes, and the reporter probably was one.

    It’s why so many of us took pleasure in watching Anthony Weiner’s career go down the tubes. Watching Alan Grayson self-destruct was another example.

    If he goes down, he goes down.

    35,
    as one of your compatriots from the ol’ Okie Noddlin’ hole once proclaimed:
    Called it!

    It’s a wonder you hillbillies can make it from day to day, cowering in abject fear at the prospect of getting pushed around by some terrifying (((J)))ournalist.

  40. 40

    38,
    Wherein a garden variety Hillbilly-Traitor with anger management issues and gender insecurities draws a direct bright orange line from not liking someone to throwing them to the ground, choking, and punching them repeatedly.

    Restraining order much?

    While Врач немой ебать archives the assault audio for his spank bank, allow me to point out that by the measure of rational, intelligent, poised, self-controlled, affluent, progressive, coastal elites this wasn’t “a stupid thing to do”. Paying too much for car insurance is a stupid thing to do. Bragging about your history of violent sexual assaults against women on an open mic is a stupid thing to do.

    This was an insane thing to do.
    This was the overt act of a violently unhinged individual who, we must assume, has done this sort of thing at least a few times before when a team of reporters were not present.
    I’d presume a fairly advanced substance abuse problem. That fits the pattern. Unlikely he’s been a violent sociopath all his life. Wouldn’t have been able to rise in public life to this extent, even in Montana. He’s probably come to rely on some “extra help” a little more than usual to get through the campaign.
    Cocaine cowboy indeed.

  41. 41

    @ 39

    I’m in full agreement. Reporters are not there to be feared. They’re there to be referred to using sexist, dismissive vocabulary.

    “Hold on a second, sweetie. We’ll hold a press avail,” replied Obama, referring to a structured question and answer session with the media.

    No body-slamming was necessary to reduce that woman to a faceless, nameless entity in heels. Not a scratch or a bruise anywhere.

  42. 42

    41,
    wait, no reference to imaginary trouser bulges?

    Perhaps the weekly surrogate therapy is producing some real progress in resolving some of your gender insecurities after all.
    If nothing else, it’s a really monumental accomplishment in the realm of Hillbilly-Traitor false equivalence.

    WI supreme court justice David Prosser could not be reached for comment.

    “You know, and I’m the one who said that,” Acuna replied, “I saw both his hands go up, not around his neck in a strangling type of way, but more just on each side of his neck, just grabbed him and I guess it could’ve been on his clothes, I don’t know.”

    Ingraham asked Acuna if that meant she was changing her story.

    “Again, just to clarify, he didn’t grab him by the neck with both hands in the way that was initially described, that’s not quite accurate,” Ingraham asked at the end of the interview.

    “​No, so it wasn’t like he grabbed him around the neck, he had one hand on each side of his neck,” Acuna confirmed.

    @38 “People tend not to like assholes, and the reporter probably was one.”

    The reporter was doing his job, which is to ask questions. That’s not a crime. Taking a swing at a reporter because you don’t like the question is. Only one criminal act was committed in that room. And as to be expected, you’re defending the criminal and dissing on the victim. That’s why we call you “Boob” and “Doctor Dumbfuck.”

    “The centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s plan to revive the American economy is a package of massive tax cuts for businesses and households that the administration has promised will pay for itself.”

    http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/25.....-plan.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This discredited nonsense didn’t work when Reagan and Bush tried it, and won’t work for Trump either. In fact, I doubt many Republicans believe it. They just use it as a convenient excuse for running up huge deficits to give tax breaks to the rich.

    Do they have any video of the reporter getting clocked? It might be interesting to watch.

    “It’s why so many of us took pleasure in watching…”

    Bill Clinton’s accusers in the House be revealed as cheating on their wives.

    So twenty years later Trump helps adulterer and thrice married Newt regain a measure of self-esteem by appointing his home-wrecking third wife as ambassador to the Vatican.

    And that’s not to even mention wingnut politician toe-tapping, wearing animal and clown costumes while childfucking and, of course, water melonfucking, goatfucking, dogfucking, horsefucking and mulefucking.

    I’m sure someday you’ll learn not to go there with Weiner.

  56. 56

    @51 he’s not just Boob or Dumbfuck. He’s a drunk fucking hypocrite. If that were some liberal doing that he would try to tell us how wrong it is.

    The guy wouldn’t even make a good used car salesman.

  57. 57

    Roger @ 52- the other effect of the proposed Trump tax cuts is to further handcuff the government going forward when the Democrats gain control because deficits only matter when Democrats are in control.

    Whenever Doctor Dumbfuck gets “salty” like that its a good sign things are moving in the right direction.

    Montana elects a criminal to Congress. I’ll bet Mr. Cynical voted for him, if he’s still alive and wasn’t tied up in the goat barn. From now on, that state’s reporters will have to wear body armor and carry pepper spray to protect themselves from its congressman.

    What the hell is wrong with Texass?

    “A Texas middle school principal plans to launch an investigation after a 7th-grade student was named ‘most likely to become a terrorist’ in a mock award ceremony. ‘I was shocked,’ Lizeth Villanueva, a 13-year-old student at Anthony Aguirre Junior High in Houston, told Click2Houston. ‘[The teacher] said, “Most likely to become a terrorist,” and she said my name, and she gave me this.’ Lizeth received the award in an advanced learning program that’s supposed to help kids prepare for college. The teacher, who was not named, told the students the award was supposed to be funny, but Lizeth’s not laughing.”

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....mg00000009

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Does the student’s Hispanic-sounding surname have something to do with it? Looks like racism to me. I hope she sues the district and the teacher loses her teaching certificate. But if the teacher gets away with it, Boob will take a pull on the bourbon jug to celebrate, and then post some inanity on HA.
