Pro tip for the trolls: president RapeFantasy did not pay for this guy’s defense either.
Bonus tip: once they put you inside and you make it past the initial 24 hr suicide watch and they give you phone privileges, maybe don’t use the jail phones to confess to your crimes and plot additional crimes.
Only 21,000 to go and Doctor Dumbfuck’s orange moron will finally catch up with the black Muslim usurper from Kenya, but he’d still be way behind Bill Clinton. SAD!
But thank God no force on earth will ever stop our dumbfuck from spiking the ball in his own endzone to avoid facing the reality that a black Muslim usurper from Kenya continues to kick his ass.
Little wonder that dumbfuck can’t admit that he’s losing the DJIA race to a black man and a Clinton. Half the country already sees dumbfuck as a traitor. If he were to ever acknowledge reality, the other half would call him a traitor, too. Must suck.

Iran invites Boeing to take part in Ukrainian jetliner crash probe amid new allegations
The move came after Western leaders said the plane appeared to have been unintentionally hit by a surface-to-air missile near Tehran hours after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two U.S. bases in Iraq to avenge the killing of its top general in an American airstrike.
Iranian officials have ruled out a missile attack, and Cabinet spokesman Ali Rabiei said late Thursday that such allegations “rub salt on a painful wound” for the families of the victims.

Officer suspended for six days
In civilian life a manslaughter charge would at least be entertained by prosecutors.

Riding a wave of trade optimism and solid economic data, stocks notched solid gains in December, capping off an exceptional year for the equity markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.74 percent, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index advanced 2.86 percent. The NASDAQ Composite led, climbing 3.54 percent.
“Exceptional“.

Long-time heroin addict, likely driving while high, can’t recall if he injured anyone.

Speaking @ 13 of useless Democrat women, anyone heard from YLB lately?
Hey, Cz-252, I’ll bet very few of the hundreds of passengers on those 737 Max jets that crashed were long-time heroin addicts. Does that make them less important to you?
Boeing employees’ frightening internal messages released in 737 Max investigation
“I still haven’t been forgiven by God for the covering up I did last year,” a Boeing employee said in a different 2018 conversation, according to the documents. The employee appears to be referring to interactions with the Federal Aviation Administration.
The redacted messages come from documents Boeing sent to Congress in December, which you can read in three collections here, here, and here. The messages show how Boeing tried to reduce the amount of simulator training required by the FAA to certify pilots for the 737 Max. These efforts ultimately left pilots unprepared to deal with the fatal flaw that brought down two 737 Max planes in five months, killing 346 people.

I have foretold the gruesome death of Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit from an exploding carcinoma-riddled prostate for some time now, Steve.
Think Belushi in the cafeteria. Except out the other end.
“I have foretold the gruesome death of Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit”
Pray I don’t foretell your death, dumbfuck.
Anyone with pancreatic cancer who tells you they are cancer-free, Steve, is not being honest. Perhaps not with themselves, but definitely not with you.
RBG with pancreatic cancer gives liberals something extra to fight for in 2020. RBG claiming to be “cancer-free” takes the edge off, just a bit.
Think about that for a bit.
The racist incel only cares about the dead if he thinks he can score points against liberals with them.
Democrats only care about dead terrorists if they think they can score points against Republicans with them.

It looks like @25 the doctor is advising us to hope RGB’s cancer returns because it might be to our political advantage.
Thanks, but no thanks, Doctor. Loyal, patriotic Americans don’t roll that way. Quite understandable, though, that you would believe otherwise.

Newburgh activist Grohl, 22, dies from flu complications
Grohl, 22, was the campaign manager for Orange County Legislator Kevindaryán Luján and also worked on campaigns for state Sen. James Skoufis and Rep. Antonio Delgado, as well as other local political campaigns. She was fondly remembered Monday as a fearless fighter for human rights.
…
Grohl was diagnosed with the flu on Friday, and an ambulance took her to Montefiore St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital, where the decision was made to fly her to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, Majano said.
https://www.recordonline.com/news/20200106/newburgh-activist-grohl-22-dies-from-flu-complications
There must be some way this is the fault of Customs and Border Protection, amirite? I mean, this just doesn’t happen otherwise, amirite?
The doctor is now admonishing us @27 for being bad for not praising the Deep State that he and his party hates so much. That just goes to show what kind strange shit a dumbfuck can spew when he has no compass and his boat has no rudder. SAD!

It looks like @25 the doctor is advising us to hope RGB’s cancer returns because it might be to our political advantage.
To the contrary, Steve. I’m advising you that RGB’s cancer hasn’t gone anywhere. It’s there and it’s growing.
And Steve, if you’re being honest with yourself, why would you not capitalize on any opportunity you have to make a Democrat appear good or to make a Republican appear bad?
Remember Cindy Sheehan? She was a useful idiot when you milked Casey’s death for all it was worth. Until she turned on your and ran against Nancy in the primary that year.
Then there’s Gabby Giffords. You’ve enlisted her puppeteer Mark Kelly in a run for Senate.
You’ve certainly milked the untimely death of Greta Thunberg’s childhood, Steve.
Then there’s the upcoming “Remember Beau, vote for Joe” Fall campaign currently being planned.
I see that @30 the doctor is celebrating death again.
“You’ve certainly milked the untimely death of Greta Thunberg’s childhood, Steve.”
Doctor, Greta is 17 years old. It’s probably okay for her to let go of being a child.
“You’ve enlisted her puppeteer Mark Kelly in a run for Senate.”
Careful, Doctor. There’s a level of stupidity below “dumbfuck” and with that one you damn near achieved it.

I see I get to celebrate the death of Julian Castro’s campaign today, Steve. Is that close enough for you?
Julian will be Liz Warren’s personal groundskeeper until it’s time for her to name a Veep. Or Super Tuesday, whichever comes first.
@ 35

Yes, please, school me on the proper protocol when discussing the recently deceased.
Perhaps “We came, we saw, he died!” followed by an unlikable cackle would be your preference.
Or overtly capitalizing on an opportunity created by an unexpected vacancy:
Democratic Senate candidate Ted Strickland has apologized for a comment he made about former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. During a Monday campaign event in Cleveland, Strickland, Ohio’s former governor, had said Scalia’s death “happened at a good time” because of pending court decisions.
In a video posted by NTK Network on YouTube, Strickland is shown speaking to AFL-CIO members about how Supreme Court rulings on labor laws could affect America’s labor unions.
“My friends, a lot of average citizens out there don’t understand the importance of that court,” he said in audio released by the network. “I mean, the death of Scalia saved labor from a terrible decision. And I don’t wish anyone ill, but, it happened at a good time!

When OBL bought it, US Senators danced on his grave with their resolution, 100-0. A majority of those “dancing” were Democrats.
Waiting on dumbfuck to let us know how he knows an unnamed person was a heroin addict…..
But keep talking about scoring cheap points about dead people. You’re doing great.
With Castro out, the only one left who will need a debate riser to appear taller is Amy Klochubar.
Ironic, isn’t it, that she dwarfed lightweights like Castro from the start.
I have not been complimentary to Hillary and her 2016 campaign choices, but I do credit her for not picking Castro. A short stint running HUD did nothing to bolster his credentials. He was a caretaker mayor of a mid-size city run by the city council.
@ 38

Cz-252, had you clicked on a link in the piece @ 9 you posted and actually read the report
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6609888-OPA-Summary-Report.html
upon which the story was based, you would have learned that one of his friends said he had been an addict for 20 years, and a second friend said he claimed that he was not high when he backed into the car behind him. And yet, purportedly sober, he could not remember whether or not he had killed anyone.
Waiting on your sheepish acknowledgement that you just got caught with your pants down, Cz-252.
Cz-252, you have just demonstrated why you generally don’t share links. Look what happens to you if you do.

@6 “Pelosi announces she is sending the articles of impeachment over to the Senate next week.”
The only question is how long it will take the GOP shoeshine boys and girls to acquit Trump. Five minutes? Will McConnell stretch it out to a whole hour?
In any case Republicans will never, ever be able to credibly impeach anyone for anything ever again. All they’ll hear from the populace is, “OK, boomer.”
Speaking of dead people, I hear our dear friends up in Canada aren’t too pleased that Doctor Dumbfuck’s orange moron raged himself into an impulsive, ill-conceived assassination that triggered a chain of events that resulted in a lot of dead Canadians.
Way to go, Doctor! Fuck up much?
So now we have an image of the cancelled check Donald signed after inaugurayomm IM to reimburse Cohen for the payment to the porn star to keep quiet. A felony. Q
This is where the principled character Dumbfuck plays would denounce Donald and every act of the presidency but…
RBG.
I can see why Canadians are a little upset. Canadians died not because of an imminent threat to our nation, but because Doctor Dumbfuck’s raging man-baby perceived an imminent political threat to his presidency.

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/republican-greg-abbott-wastes-no-time-in-making-texas-first-state-to-ban-refugees-after-trump-executive-order/
This is a true story.
In my work, if I’ve done my job well in the weeks and months of prep and put the right staff and free lancers I trust in place on actual show day I don’t have a lot to do except schmooze the client and keep an eye on the little details that can spiral. If something goes wrong I fix it quickly. Not to go all Puddy but I’m really good at what I do.
So in 2005 I was on a not complex show and the client was handholding the talent on set for the job and I was in MC with not a lot going on. One of my ENGs had left his laptop in my domain logged in. Knew this guy for a decade at least and he was an obsessive fan of this massively successful rock band so much so his wallpaper was a band photo and his web homepage was their site.
And I was bored.
So I redirected his browser to a locally saved HTML and edited the band’s home page to reflect how Neil Peart had been killed in a motorcycle accident. I was enough of a fan myself to know he collected vintage motorcycles.
I created a whole series of hyperlinks that I assumed would be obvious that it was fake. Like quotes from Geddy Lee saying, “If something happened to Alex we could just get any player to slot in but this. is Ringo available? Maybe then but we probably have to call it quits.” And fellow Canadian Celine Deion opening her Vegas show with a Tribute and a heartfelt cover of “The Trees.”
Poor guy comes to his laptop during strike and started to tear up and I knew I had gone too far. I had to buy a really nice dinner that night and he eventually came around that I was actually sorry.
Farewell to a truly great player. Best I ever saw live.
Nancy Pelosi and Brad Parscale know a few things about Congressional campaign finance that you and Michael Bloomberg do not.
44,
Premature if you ask me. I’ve read more than my share of police reports and LE review board reports. That report does not actually source the claim.
The statement: “He had been a heroin addict for nearly 20 years and had prior legal troubles” reads precisely like the kind of thing the assigned sergeants who perform the investigations make sure gets put into the report, one way or another.
It stands alone as a statement not attributed to any specific witness. But it is worked into a passage seemingly quoting the complaining witness.
You shouldn’t cop to anything until bot-farm shows you the interview notes quoting the witness. It’s even odds she never said it. Although it is almost certainly true. And wouldn’t be at all hard for SPD to uncover and then deliberately plug into the report in order to tune it up for the desired outcome. Still, burden of proof lies on them.

@54 Nicely written. Sad to say, this is my introduction to Rush. I’d heard of them, of course, but I couldn’t name a single song or album. Once a member of three really good Seattle rock bands from 1967 thru 1972, with a funk band in the middle of that, by 1974 I’d completely 100% dropped out of the rock scene.
I’d heard of a guy named Geddy, but didn’t what he did. I just learned a moment ago that he was in Rush. I now understand that Neil Peart was their drummer. I knew the band got a lot of praise through the years. I’ll take a listen later and see if I can hear and start to understand what it was all about. If you could point me to a few of their best songs, that’d be appreciated.
Knowing some the young people involved, I did pay attention to the Seattle grunge scene.
I saw a lot of 60s bands, though. I thought Ginger Baker was the best of the drummers, especially performing live. I saw Blind Faith and, even with Clapton and Woods on stage with him, I couldn’t take my eyes off Ginger. That night he was mesmerizing. Just fucking amazing.
Again, well written.
Funny. I was at Eagles Auditorium in Seattle when Led Z opened for Vanilla Fudge. They were halfway through their set and I’m like, “God dammit!! Will they EVER get off that FUCKING STAGE!!!” Then Jimmy Page got a violin bow out, sat down on a chair and started playing his guitar with it. At this point I’m like, “STOP!! STOP!! STOP!! ENOUGH!!”
They didn’t make a good first impression with me, but I did like their first album. Their sound got kind of tiresome after that.
I thought the 60s version of Pink Floyd was absolutely fucking horrible. But with Sid gone, they started getting better. Dark Side was fucking amazing.
“Texas will not resettle refugees in 2020, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott told the Trump administration Friday, citing a responsibility to use state resources for those already residing in Texas.

@39 Is Klobuchar a Russian agent, too? (Why else would you like her?)
The Catch-22 of Trump’s “great” economy: “Employment is historically high, though wages and job quality aren’t always great.”
Aaand: “The Fed believes that 2% annual inflation equals ‘stable prices.’ … But CPI doesn’t reflect real-life spending for most people. Prices have risen dramatically … for some of life’s basic necessities.”
Sooo … “80% of the income pyramid is anxious and depressed.”
Now that it’s an election year, “Try to look at this like an average worker. Your rent keeps rising, your kids can’t go to college without racking up debt, your health insurance is astronomical, and your wages, while up a bit, aren’t keeping up with your living costs. Meanwhile, the people who are supposed to be looking out for you keep talking about how the economy is improving thanks to their brilliant policies.”

The SA guy posts a chart. Did you see it, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit? It shows the “CPI for all items” trend line well below the “average hourly earnings” trendline.
Paying attention to idiots who post on SA is like giving credence to Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s posts on handbill.us. You get what you pay for.

First in the courts and then by executive order about how enrollment works.
Don’t worry. You’ll end up with either a public option or MC4A instead of a plan where insurance companies could still be incredibly profitable while keeping premiums down but gaining millions of subscribers.
Show of hands voters? Do you like having hundreds of dollars taken from every paycheck so you can see a doctor and still have to pay $2000-5000 in deductible before that insurance covers a single thing? Yes? Then go ahead and vote GOP.
