In case you missed it, the Washington vaccine phase finder is now up. It seems to have been giving people trouble right as it launched. If you think you are, or might be, eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, go make sure.

And wash your hands right now.

    WaPo erases from a prior story the passage in which Kamala Harris mocks prisoners.

    The Washington Post Memory-Holed Kamala Harris’ Bad Joke About Inmates Begging for Food and Water

    “That kind of stuff,” Kamala said between sips of iced tea, “which was about bringing a little normal to the days, that was a treat for me.”

    “I mean, in some ways it was a treat,” Maya said. “But not really.”

    “It’s a treat that a prisoner gets when they ask for, ‘A morsel of food please,’ ” Kamala said shoving her hands forward as if clutching a metal plate, her voice now trembling like an old British man locked in a Dickensian jail cell. “‘And water! I just want wahtahhh….’Your standards really go out the f—ing window.”

    Kamala burst into laughter.

    She’s right. Your standards went out the fucking window. The guy more responsible for black men in prison than anyone else is now the president. And a woman who did some pretty evil things to prisoners while California’s AG is now the vice president.

    Wonder what Kim Kardashian thinks about all of this?

    @1 “Wonder what Kim Kardashian thinks about all of this?”

    Kim K. is your shining example of a person with standards? I pity your horse.

    With a Democrat in the White House, resistance is no longer so useful, is it, libbies?

    Twitter suspends Antifa accounts with more than 71K followers

    Members of Antifa — the far-left radical group behind numerous riots in recent months — ransacked the streets of Seattle the night of President Biden’s inauguration, smashing up the historic Starbucks and burning an American flag.

    Antifa-led protesters damaged the original Starbucks location in Seattle on January 20, 2021.

    They also marched through Portland, Oregon, with a banner reading, “WE DON’T WANT BIDEN — WE WANT REVENGE!”

    Hunter Biden’s papa wants capitulation. Twitter only too happy to comply.

    ‘Basically Trying to Overturn the Senate Election’: McConnell Delaying Democratic Takeover in Effort to Preserve Filibuster “McConnell is already abusing the filibuster to block the constitution of the new majority. Nuking the filibuster is the appropriate response.”

    Republicans. Attempt to Use the rules against Democrats to get their way. Attempt to Kill Democrats when rules don’t work. How am I wrong?

    The same way Harry Reid turned out to be wrong, The Even Bigger Fucking Moron.

    You are one vote from being in the Senate minority again. If you had a single firing neuron in your cerebral cortex you would act like it.

    @7 “You are one vote from being in the Senate minority again. If you had a single firing neuron in your cerebral cortex you would act like it.”

    Hmm, then explain why a SOLID RED state like GA turned Blue? Seems the GOP needs to find a brain and start to figure out they can’t be the obstructionists that they are.

    I guess they figured out they can’t be obstructionists and have decided to it is easier to be insurrectionists.

    If contempt was lethal. The national review would be master assassins.

    “Let me refresh your memory: On the day Donald Trump was sworn in as president, Republicans controlled not only the White House but both houses of Congress. They were in a historically strong position elsewhere as well, controlling both legislative chambers in 32 states. They pissed that away like they were midnight drunks karaoke-warbling that old Chumbawumba song: In 2021, they control approximately squat. The House is run by Nancy Pelosi. The Senate is run, as a practical matter, by Kamala Harris. And Joe Biden won the presidency, notwithstanding whatever the nut-cutlet guest-hosting for Dennis Prager this week has to say about it.

    You Trumpish Republicans sneered that Joe Biden was too corrupt and too senescent to win a presidential campaign, that he was one part mafioso and one part turnip.

    That turnip kicked your dumb asses from Delaware to D.C.

    So you rioted. Real smart move, Cletus.”

    @7 why doesn’t the greedy racist incel admit that Moscow Mitch would blow away the filibuster in a heartbeat if Democrats were using it against him like he is using it against Democrats?

    Watching a dumbfuck traitor self-diminish in front of us is a laugh riot.

    Speaking of laugh riots…

    Antifa — the far-left radical group

    Clues are free and yet our self-diminishing dumbfuck is still without a fucking clue. I reckon that means he’ll never get one. So sad!

  13. 13

    where the greedy racist incel concern trolls about ANTIFA

    The dumbfuck traitor has tried so very hard to sell the notion that being anti-fascist is a very, very bad thing and continues to do so, even after genuine, real McCoy fucking fascists tried to overthrow our government by storming the nation’s capital to assassinate all of our elected representatives.

    That is what self-diminishment looks like and it looks really fucking stupid….and fascist.

  14. 14

    Why is it that conservatives think that property damage like broken windows is deserving of murder but murder done to overthrow the government is no big deal?

    Why is it that conservatives think that property damage like broken windows is deserving of murder but murder done to overthrow the government is no big deal?

    It’s what dumbfuck fascist traitors do.

    Hell, a week or two ago our dumbfuck traitor tried to equate Seattle WTO protesters wearing pink dolphin costumes with the fascist traitors who tried to violently overthrow our government.

    Both sides. Heh.

    @1 You’re in no position to squeal about

    (1) mocking people,
    (2) locking people up, or
    (3) standards,

    because your tribe has none, and just spent 4 years joking about throwing civilized behavior out the window.

    Good. Let’s get rid of all the domestic terrorists, in no particular order. But I note the Federal Bureau of Prisons will need 15,000 more cells. If they don’t have them, they can always take Joe Arpaio’s tents out of storage.

    @7 “You are one vote from being in the Senate minority again.”

    And you are one election away from (1) President Biden not needing Joe Manchin’s vote, and (2) Schumer not needing to share power with McConnell.

    The GOP is tearing itself apart. My guess is they will not be able to jettison Trump or his foaming-at-the-mouth base, consigning McConnell to the status of leader of a minor third party.

    Start with @9 and assume it only gets worse from there.

  19. 19

    @13 He probably was one of the Forks Self Defense Force patriots dropping trees across a Forest Service road because, as everyone knows, anyone traveling in a bus converted to a camper has to be antifa.

    His lawyer has a clearer fix on the situation than he does:

    “‘My client is understandably compelled to reconcile the words of the former president with the subsequent actions of the former president,’ attorney Albert S. Watkins said in a statement. ‘The reconciliation of a betrayal necessarily requires the bellying up to the bar by the betrayed to acknowledge their role in making themselves ripe for betrayal,’ he added.”

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9176681/I-duped-Trump-QAnon-Shaman-regrets-participating-Capitol-riot.html

    This, apparently, is tendered as a rationale for a lighter sentence. Sorry, but you’re going to the slammer, fuckwit.

    Trump seems to be convinced that Congress is empowered to impeach a President after they leave office.

    Good enough for me.

    Get on with it.

    Batshit insane.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Facebook in 2018: Parkland school shooting was a false flag planned event

    In a separate Facebook post in 2018, Greene also claimed: “I am told that Nancy Pelosi tells Hillary Clinton several times a month that ‘we need another school shooting’ in order to persuade the public to want strict gun control.”

    Greene was a right-wing commentator before successfully running for Congress in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. She has pushed the QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theories; falsely claimed that there’s no evidence a plane crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11; labeled the 2018 pipe bomb packages to members of Congress and others a hoax; accused the Obama administration of killing former Democratic staffer Seth Rich; and pushed anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic rhetoric, among other things.

    When Texas Republicans fired pistols and ran a Biden campaign bus into a ditch was that “The Unity”?

    When US Senator Marco Rubio congratulated them for it was that “The Unity”?

    1,
    I’m down with Reason criticizing the WaPo for re-editing the story to cast the then-candidate in more favorable light, now that she is our Queen. It demonstrates a lack of character and professionalism on the part of the editors. And not a small dose of cowardice.

    But then Tara goes full-tilt Birfer/Madrassa/Tan-Suit and she loses the plot. Tara (Reason) had a good point there dunking on a liberal daily for offering service to power instead of their readers. But following up on that by smearing herself with her own menstrual blood and capering about like a lunatic shrieking about dead people or prison conditions destroys it.

    This is the self-diminishment. Reflexively converting low risk gains into high risk losses. Classic Dumbfuck really.

    @3 not that it bothers or matters to me if twitter accounts were suspended, but I am curious, was it confirmed and verified that what happen in Portland and Seatle on January 20th was done by Antifa? Is there any proof of it being Antifa?

    I’m not suggesting that it wasn’t, I am asking. In that NY Post Artilce that you link, they don’t provide any indication or evidence that it was Antif that was repsonsible, they just say it. Do they provide links or accounts of specific Antifa individual twitter accounts that recorded any footage and videos of that night, to link the group with the individuals that night?

    I haven’t been really paying attention, but is there evidence that it was Antif perpetrators, or actors portraying Antifa?

    Huffpo headline: “Republicans Are Mad Joe Biden Isn’t Uniting The Nation Around The GOP Agenda”

    Yawn. We’re used to Republican rhetoric making kindergartners laugh. It’s funny at first; but after a while, they’re simply boring.

  34. 34

    @3 “Twitter suspends Antifa accounts with more than 71K followers”

    Good. Let’s get rid of

    I say that and more – get rid of Twitter. If adults can’t responsibly know how to act then they shouldn’t be allowed it.

    Like chewing gum – parent’s don’t let kids chew gum because it’s bad for them……well Twitter is bad when Neanderthals…I mean adults…. don’t act like adults, take it away from them. Close Twitter down. Otherwise I get to yell fire in a crowded theater. If you can’t build control someone yelling fire in a Theater, well then you have to close the theaters.

  35. 35

    34,
    Please stop.
    You aren’t making any sense. And you are leaning in to a really stupid metaphor.

    We never closed theaters. We never considered it. Why would we?

    There is nothing to prevent assholes from yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater. But unlike in Holmes’ day, theater operators are no longer permitted to lock the exits. It’s against the law if they do.

    We don’t need any new laws. We just need to start enforcing some of them against white people for a change. We don’t need to shut down AM Hate Radio. We just need to hold assholes like Alex Jones responsible when they hurt people. Twitter isn’t responsible for Donald Trump’s shit posting. Donald Trump is.

    Neanderthals lived in Ice Age Europe for 250,000 or more. If you ever get your DNA analyzed by Ancestry.com or 23andMe, you might be surprised to,learn to have a Neanderthal ancestor.

    Many people view outlets such as CNN and MSNBC as hate speech outlets.

  37. 37

    @36 “Many people view outlets such as CNN and MSNBC as hate speech outlets.”

    They also believe “Q” and don’t believe Dr. Fauci.
    And I suspect you’re one of ’em.

  38. 38

    Many people view outlets such as CNN and MSNBC as hate speech outlets.

    Following 1/6, it’s quite understandable that many people view those who say that as being democracy-hating traitors and seditionists. I’m one of the people who shares that view. The only opinion of your people I give a fuck about anymore is their choice between a firing squad and a rope.

  39. 39

    36,
    Bias and objectivity are different concepts.
    In between bouts of porking your sister and cooking up meth in the trailer out back, maybe you can find the time to work on that.

  40. 40

    We never closed theaters. We never considered it. Why would we?

    Sounds like you are suggesting that I said that we closed thearters, but thats not what I said. I said “well then you have to close the theaters.” And I didn’t suggest thay it was considered.

    Yes, I am leaning into a realy stupid metaphor and it doesn’t make a lot of sense….but nothing seems to make sense anymore. My point is that as stupid humans evolve and technology evolves, maybe they aren’t two matches made in heaven, but rather hell. Ask the Roger Rabbit, he knows how stupid humans are.

    Maybe, if adults can’t act like adults, you know the very same people that tell children they can’t freely chew gum because it is bad for them, well then maybe someone needs to tell irrisponsible adults that they can’t have twitter. But how can you do that when the adults don’t know how to be adults. So maybe Twitter should go, we survived and it can be argured for the better, without Twitter.

    It’s just a thought to provoke dicsussion, and to point out how adults seem to be the problem – the children probably need to take the gum (twitter) away from them, or maybe the children have no future.

    And without Twitter, we always have Facebook! Snapchat! Tikity Tock Tock!

  41. 41

    Twitter isn’t responsible for Donald Trump’s shit posting. Donald Trump is.

    Are airlines responsible for their pilots? Are they responsible for the maintenance of the planes they fly? Why? Because they (the Company and the planes they own) are just a vehicle for passengers to fly in. A bunch of hijackers plan an attack and people want to sew them. And we bailed out the airlines by compensating the families who had loved ones die on that day, based the actions of a bunch of hijakers, for the sole purpose that the airlines wouldn’t get sewed by individuals.

  42. 42

    41 continued.

    Now i am not suggesting that the airlines have no accountability for maintenance or for their pilots….not my point. But what happens when some nut pilot or maintenance guy sabotages the plane or the flight. The airlines is to blame, not the individual.

    My point is that Twitter, like the Airlines should have some accoutability for the actions of the people riding in that plane of conversation

  44. 44

    40, 41,
    Yes, yes. Many people are terrible.
    Was that your point after all?

    Slow down a bit here and ask yourself if you really, really want to empower police to decide what is okay for you to say. Because that’s who will end up doing the work you are asking for.

  45. 45

    To “Your a biased fucking asshole”..

    “you might be surprised to,learn to have a Neanderthal ancestor.” And you might find you are a little part ape that hasn’t evolved correctly. Or you might find that you are 2% LGBTQ.

  46. 46

    @44 no, I don’t want any police to be involved. I think Twitter needs to ask themselves, if what they “invented” is worth the price of creating a bunch of assholes. They are adults, they need to figure out a way to ensure that their little Tweet Machine doesn’t kill me. Or just like the airlines, I get to sew them.

    What if the airines couldn’t prevent someone like the Fuckhump from boarding the plane and he does something to take it down….who is to blame?

  48. 48

    is worth the price of creating a bunch of assholes.

    Well, they didn’t create the assholes, but they give the assholes the avenue to be the assholes.

  49. 49

    46,
    If you make Carl, or Darryl, or Goldy legally liable for the Pudiot’s nihilistic death threats and venomous lies what do you suppose would happen?

    a) They all quit their day jobs and devote all of their time to monitoring and content moderating the spew of superstitious lunatics and violent racists?

    b) They shutter HA?

  50. 50

    “The Clark Plan” just in time to push another half dozen GOP Senators over to a Yay vote.

    Who the fuck needs a Hooker Pee Tape?
    A dozen palace insiders are releasing their own tapes, contemporaneous notes, and files of receipts, and Trump’s tax returns will drop before the Senate ever gets to a vote.

    TFW you learn Trump explored ordering a tactical nuclear strike on the Congress while he was golfing in Florida.

    TFW you learn most GOP voters would be cool with it.

  51. 51

    If you make Carl, or Darryl, or Goldy legally liable for the Pudiot’s nihilistic death threats and venomous lies what do you suppose would happen?

    @49 That is a dilemna.

    Am I mistaken, but don’t we hold the airlines accountable for the actions of the passenger, pilots, or a mechanic (to no fault of the airlines) if the plane should crash and there are dead or mamed?

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/flight-800-settlement-reached/

    These people got on a vehicle piloted by others with the knowlege that accidents happen and then they got upset. I mean if I’m driving my car and I have an accident I may get upset at myself, but I don’t sue myself.

    I’ll leave HA out of it. But was there anything more that TWA could have done, in this situation, to prevent those deaths more than what the adminstrator(s) of a blog or Twitter could do to prevent death?

  52. 52

    Is the NRA responsible for deaths? I’m not implying yes or no.

    I’m just asking – What is Twitter’s role in this? Because of the rights of free speach, does that give them a free pass to do nothing. I understand that they are blocking people – but as of recent. Do they have a better solution to the problem that exists with their invention. Can they just sit by and let the kids’ teeth rot?

  55. 55

    @52 I think the basic problem is we can’t un-invent Twitter any more than we can un-invent the H-bomb. What will be, will be. We just have to accept the fact that humans will become extinct and rabbits will replace them at the top of the evolutionary chain.

  56. 56

    @55 maybe not un-invent. But how about an arms reduction treaty of some sorts.

    But I’d argue that you could un-invent just as was able to invent. But that takes adults to be adults.

    Just think – how about Thoughts and Prayers!

    What’s it going to feel like having your life run by Commies for the next four years?

    Aren’t you furious that you can’t go down and yell at The Blacks who work at the Social Security office anymore without putting on a face panty?
