The Supreme Court rejected the appeal of the Stormans who wanted to not have to dispense emergency contraception at their pharmacy, because Jesus, and despite Washington’s regulations. Honestly, the state’s regulations were pretty accommodating. But at a certain point, you have to say have someone on hand who can dispense medicine at a pharmacy.

    Well, well, lookee here, the Dow is up another 133 points this morning. Looks like I called that one right! The chickens who dumped stocks on Friday and Monday are flocking back into the market. Buy high, sell low, rinse, repeat. Thanks for the cheap stocks, suckers! Making money this way sure beats working in an honest job. Hey, I didn’t create this capitalist system, I just go with the flow.

    @1 The Dow is now up 171 points. Did the loon say something? Oh, that was yesterday, in the old thread.

    @ 6

    Not sure if you are referring to me. I don’t recall saying anything about what I did on Friday.

    I sold a mixture of short-dated and long-dated naked puts. Right now feeling pretty good about it. Plus, I’m supporting my president’s ACA costs, so what’s not to like?

    Yes, that’s why I said last Thursday afternoon that Friday would be a good day to buy stocks (which I did buy). Monday was a little better day, but you can’t hit a home run every day. Hitting a triple is still better than not playing in the game.

    Emergency contraception – good idea. Should be readily available as an over-the-counter remedy that anyone can buy, regardless of age.

    @8 “I’m supporting my president’s ACA costs”

    How? By sucking Medicare dry via your annual “doc fixes” from Congress? Half the health care costs in America are paid by government. Lawyers don’t have a setup like that.

    @9 Anyone who’s seen “Moneyball” knows the secret is hitting singles. Lots and lots of singles. Swinging for the fences leads to strikeouts, especially if you’re not good at it, which nobody is in the stock game, where home runs are sheer luck. My surefire investing formula is so simple that children can do it. All you have to do is ride out market swings and compound your dividends by reinvesting them in more stock. 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 x 1.03 …

    Why didn’t Trey Gowdy hold his ‘findings’ until after the convention to do more political damage?

    Option A. Shamed by the Democratic report of what everyone knew that he leaked falsely edited testimony (VERITAS), tried to make a show of arresting cooperative witnesses and found nothing the other Bengaaaaaazzzzziiiii investigations didn’t he was forced to respond.

    Option B. After trying so very hard even he knew he found nothing new so better to get the waste of millions of dollars for zero new information story get played to death before we get any closer to Election Day.

    I go with B. Well played GOP.

It didn’t make any sense to me that Brexit, which will take at least 2 years to implement, would trash economies or corporate earnings right now. I figured it was a market knee-jerk for sure. I was right. Sure glad I bought stocks on Friday. My siblings did, too. I hope the masters of the universe shorted the shit out of stocks while I was buying.

    I’ve never forgotten George Will’s caustic Nixon screed back when he was editor of National Review. It goes roughly like this:

    Another instance of DUMMOCRETINS wanting to silence their critics or their competition. http://www.washingtonexaminer......le/2595240

    A complaint was filed with the FEC alleging that Fox News’ editorial decision to expand the debate from one debate to two debates, and to include 7 candidates in the undercard debate, constituted an illegal corporate contribution by Fox News to the candidates who participated in the debate. The FEC had to decide whether to enforce the corporate contribution ban against Fox News.

    Astonishingly, three FEC commissioners (Weintraub, Ravel, Walther) concluded that Fox News violated the Federal Election Campaign Act by making a prohibited corporate contribution to the 7 candidates invited to the debate. That is, by expanding the debate format to a broader group of candidates, Fox News violated the law.

    PuddyCommentary: Because Fox wanted to have all 17 candidates get a voice the FEC DUMMOCRETINS threw a tantrum! They claim the other debate was an illegal corporate contribution by Fox News! What a joke. DUMMOCRETINS, by any means necessary.

    Meanwhile, in Tea Party Paradise.

    Thats the Tea Party attitude in a nutshell. It’s like the FratBro Wall Street lawyers throwing Dollar bills and spare change at a 100% disabled combat veteran when he interrupts their little circle-jerk to ask them a rather simple and civil question, at the beginning of the whole Tea Party becoming a thing.

    She apparently executed her daughters when the older one announced she was getting married on short notice, and The Good Christian Mother called a family meeting about it just to get them all in the same room at once. She preplanned it and was just waiting for an excuse.

    Another Drumpf grift exposed:

    ” … Mr. Trump also lent his name, and his credibility, to a seminar business he did not own, which was branded the Trump Institute. Its operators rented out hotel ballrooms across the country and invited people to pay up to $2,000 to come hear Mr. Trump’s ‘wealth-creating secrets and strategies.’ …

    “The institute was another example of the Trump brand’s being accused of luring vulnerable customers with false promises of profit and success. Others … include multilevel marketing ventures that sold vitamins and telecommunications services, and a vanity publisher that faced hundreds of consumer complaints.”

    I could never stomach watching long enough to detect any on-air chemistry.

    “Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough could soon go public as a couple. Page Six has exclusively learned that Brzezinski and her husband of 23 years have quietly divorced.

    Popular MSNBC stars Scarborough and Brzezinski are widely rumored to be romantically involved — and there’s plenty of on-air chemistry for all to see. But while Scarborough is also divorced — since 2013 — the TV duo have never confirmed they’re romantically involved.

    Hey, howz that Seattle PD/FBI investigation into that transgender hate crime last week goin’?

    An openly gay YouTube star is claiming that he was brutally assaulted by three men in West Hollywood, but authorities said Tuesday that his claims of assault were unsubstantiated and that he injured himself after being arrested on suspicion of vandalism.

    Calum McSwiggan, known by thousands of fans for his active lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender lifestyle channel on YouTube, wrote in an Instagram post that after visiting a gay club, three men attacked him. He said he suffered three broken teeth and required six stitches in his forehead.

    “The authorities should have been there to help and protect me, but instead they treated me like a second-class citizen,” McSwiggan wrote in his post, which showed him in a hospital with bandages affixed to his forehead.

    So what to make of this. Gun ownership at 40 year low.

    With every mass shooting there is the well documented uptick in gun sales. Conventional wisdom has said people don’t feel safe and turn to guns. But if fewer individuals own guns the increased sales really can’t be new owners.

    What we must be seeing is gun fetishists decide by that the gun they own isn’t the right gun so they need to add to the arsenal. Won’t be safe unless I’ve got one for each hand and one that will kill more people quickly if the need arises.

    So what to make of this.

    Fewer rural households and more urban. Population becoming younger. False poll responses by people wondering whether they’ll be put on a list. More guns per owning household.

    Gary Kleck, a criminologist at Florida State University, points to Gallup surveys that find a much higher rate of ownership than does the GSS, with guns in 43% of American households and owned by 29% of American adults last year. He thinks these figures are more reliable because they are based on phone surveys, while the GSS is fielded in person. “People are more reluctant to admit to gun ownership or anything controversial or legally questionable in non-anonymous surveys,” he said.

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB.....2383804654

    Didn’t actually read the article did you?

    Different national polls tend to show slightly different rates of gun ownership. The latest household gun ownership rate in the General Social Survey, in 2014, was 32 percent. The October 2015 Gallup survey showed a higher rate of 43 percent, including guns kept on property outside the home.

    But the downward trend in gun ownership remains consistent across the national polls. According to Gallup, gun ownership has fallen by about 10 percentage points since its peak in 1993. The General Social Survey shows a 20-point drop since the mid-1970s.

    Lots of polls with lots of different data collection methods are showing the same thing. But you have some magic theory of unskewed polls to explain that the obvious isn’t.

    @23 So how is that British Pound doing? Ohh and just what is the Bank of England doing? As much as it can. The problem is at the moment there is no British Government that can govern. The damage can be reversed with a government in place, and most likely that new government can nix the Brexit. Still the dam is temporary and if the pound tanks more so will stocks. The dam may burst tomorrow, more likely Friday, or by mid week. You don’t see the pound bounce up some might be a good time to sell. Which is what I hope my mutual fund dude will do, if not well ouch…very loud ouch. Good time to just sit back.

The bureaucrats at a school got the cops involved unnecessarily. A parent or parents might sue the school. And all kinds of zaniness will ensue which a little common sense would have prevented. An apology in this situation could go a long way, and be a lot less expensive. Doubt it will happen so bring on the lawyers. Boring legal stuff will ensue, probably settled out of court, and we can only hope for dancing llamas in pajamas.

    Let me translate. The Prosecutor although in another state is also a member of a bar. It would unseemly for me to comment on a complaint filed in another state where I’m not familiar with the rules of attorney conduct, how the courts operate, and the lawyer politics to form an opinion on the veracity of the complaint, assuming that the complainant has standing and isn’t a law professor doing some grandstanding and politics in the state of Maryland. If you wish me to take the time to research, and reach a professional opinion a willingness on your part to write a check would be nice.
    Otherwise please let everyone know the outcome of this complaint. (My plug nickel says it dies a quick quiet death.)

    Sometimes people don’t want you to know so you are surprised. Just like that fake study where states with more gun laws have lower death by gun rates. Yet with all the inner city gun killings each year in Chicago, Illinois ranks a B+ per their rating.

    Yeah right Illinois B+… http://heyjackass.com/ Shot & Killed: 296 Probably higher when you visit!

    Travis,

    Arguing with the senile one over Freddy Gray is like talking to a senile brick wall. Another person, Donta Allen, was in the van with Freddy Gray was injured like Freddy amirite? Donta Allen NO? 24 hour mysterious moronic moonbattic malodorous memory malady!

    So what happened to him? The prosecution tried to rig the Goodson trial by withholding evidence. Donta claimed it was a smooth ride. Then they got to Donta! All charges were dropped. Story changed.

    Remember Travis, R senile thought Oscar Goodson was white. Anyone need to see the senile HA DUMMOCRETIN thread again? That was DAYUM funny!

    “The folks who pushed Brexit are now backpedaling, don’t want to lead Britain, and don’t want to admit that they tricked the people. This is a classic example of “be careful what you wish for….you might get it”.”

    “So Boris is bailing rather than go down with the ship he helped steer into the typhoon. How sad for the Leave voters to have to discover the hard way how pyrrhic a victory it’s all been.”

    @103 Freddie Gray was murdered, but Piddles is fine with that. Gray was a healthy young black man who was given a “rough ride” that broke his neck and killed him. That’s murder. Was Gray an upstanding citizen? No, he was a known drug dealer with a record. But that’s not a license for police to carry out summary street executions. Even suspected criminals have civil rights, although it’s hard to convince rogue cops of that. These cops deserve to be prosecuted, and if they’re getting off, it’s not because they’re innocent but because our laws are overly protective of killer cops. All of this is okay with Piddles, a traitor to his own race. It’s just as well that Puddy was born in the 20th century and not the 19th, because he’s the kind of black guy who would squeal on runaway slaves. He hates his own race.

  106. 106

    Hey Piddles, the stock market is up AGAIN today! Not only that, but Hershey is getting bought out, and is up $20 a share. I own 200 shares of Hershey, so I just made $4,000 in the blink of an eye. Sure beats working at a sweatshop job for $15 an hour.

    @91 Well, I notice Frank Blethen promoted his sports editor to the editor’s job, so maybe that tells you where the audience is in today’s journalism. Nobody gives a damn if a Hitler takes over our country; they just want to know what the Mariners and Seahawks standings are.

    Good Train wreck from R senile above.

    @103 Freddie Gray was murdered, but [something stoooooooooooooooooopid] is fine with that. Gray was a healthy young black man who was given a “rough ride” that broke his neck and killed him.

    Sez who R senile? You can’t even get the facts correct at the trial. The VIDEO shows the ride was norman Remember Donta Allen? He was in the van too? Did Donta claim it was a rough ride? NOP you senile DOPE!

    Remember Oscar Goodman the black policeman who drove Freddy and Donta to the jail? Oh yeah… Oscar is a white policeman. Yeah it was a white policeman that gave Freddy the rough ride because the black policeman was found not guilty!

    KAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO! early onset senile schismatic IDIOT Wabbit!

    Seems the State Department knows something they are not letting the LIV American public know!

    A State Department official has said Russia is one of at least three foreign governments likely to have obtained the full content of the former secretary of state’s server through covert hacking operations. The other two are China and Israel.

    PuddyCommentariat: What will checkmate say if Russia gives some of those “PRIVATE” emails to WikiLeaks? Why is the State Department looking for something Crooked Heilary claims are not there checkmate?

  113. 113

    So why did Loretta Lynch meet with Bill Clinton at an airport for 30 minutes? To talk about grandchildren of course!

    Or maybe to let Bill know there is some damning evidence that may affect the former president?

    Surely not the email probe right HA DUMMOCRETINS?

    @109 Roger Rabbit version: “Freddie Gray was murdered, but Piddles is fine with that.”

    Puddy version: “Freddie Gray was murdered, but [something stoooooooooooooooooopid] is fine with that.”

    For once, I agree with you. You’re something stoooooooooooooooooopid.

    No wonder the house acted against John Koskinen… http://www.nationalreview.com/.....harassment

    A lawful transfer of the documents would have required a formal request from the DOJ to the IRS, but DOJ trial attorney Stephanie Sasarak told Cause of Action in a March 9, 2016, letter that the department did not make any requests to the IRS for the documents it received. Alternatively, the secretary of the Treasury could have turned the documents over to the DOJ. In either case, section 6103 requires the Treasury secretary to disclose the transfer to the bipartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, which releases publicly a list of disclosures each year. But the Joint Committee on Taxation’s 2010 disclosure report does not show a transfer to the Department of Justice that matches the one Lerner sent in October of that year.

    The ends always justifies the means!

    Meanwhile the libtard Labour Party of GB is the DUMMOCRETINS of America

    “Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the [Benjamin] Netanyahu government than our Muslim friends are for those various self-styled Islamic states or organizations,” Corbyn said at the launch of Labour’s new report on antisemitism, which was led by Shami Chakrabarti, the director of a civil liberties advocacy group based in the United Kingdom.

    Corbyn’s remarks drew loud applause from the audience at the event.

    PuddyCommentariat: Loud applause from fellow libtards.

  118. 118

    Once again R senile is reduced to attacking Puddy because the feckless arguments continue to fail!

    @118 That one was a “German blimp.”

    A “German blimp” is a target so fat and juicy you have to shoot at it as a matter of principle even if it has no military value. In other words, if you hang your ass out like that, you gotta expect a thwack on your buttcheeks.

    Dow’s now up 175 points, and I’m making almost $1,000/hr today sitting on my fat rabbit butt posting on HA. Sure beats working in a chicken processing plant for Republican minimum wage. Everyone should be a capitalist, then we’d all be rich, and nobody would have to work.

    @140 something more offensive when an individual who claims self-righteousness and purity (name any Republican to fit the bill) does something bad, more so than when it is done by someone that it might be expected from.

    Kind of like God committing murder or stealing.

    Maybe Republicans should just not pretend they have high standards and then the World will go around much better and we could all get along.

    The Dow is up triple digits for a third straight day. However, Puddy’s investing prowess shouldn’t be dismissed lightly. At least he had the wisdom and foresight to move his money from under his mattress to a bank paying 1/10th of 1% annual interest. That’s income of $1,000/yr. for every $1,000,000 invested! That will buy 120 subway sandwiches — one every third day! Btw my stocks are up $9,900 since 6:30 am.

    We’d better keep them away from the White House Water Fountain:
    “Drumpf took exception to the design of the spaces between courts. In particular, he didn’t like a small metal box—a pump and cooler for the water fountain alongside—which he thought looked ugly. He first questioned its placement, then crudely disparaged it, then kicked the box, which didn’t budge, and then stooped—red-faced and fuming—to tear it loose from its moorings, rupturing a water line and sending a geyser to soak the courts. Boulle looked horrified, a weekend of tennis abruptly drowned.”

    Even David Axelrod thought Loretta Lynch meeting Bill Clinton was bad. She didn’t even mention the meeting until a reporter found out about it.

    Senate DUMMOCRETINS blocked Zika virus funding.

    Planned Parenthood wrote all Senate offices opposing the bill, arguing that “a vote against this bill will be seen as a vote for women’s health care.”

    “They have to be responsible. It falls on Republicans,” said Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), a Senate leader and former top campaign strategist. “We’re just supposed to say yes? That’s not how we do things responsibly around here.”

    Politico!

    @157 I hope, for their sake, all the Donald Trump Show vendors and suppliers are insisting on cash up front because they’ll never get paid if they don’t. Every business in Cleveland should put up a sign reading, “Cash sales only, no credit.”

  163. 163

    I forgot to mention how sorry I am about all the lying.

    I’m just a huge liar. Mostly I lie about the President. But I also lie quite a lot about the people I imagine are Democrats. I realize they hold the moral high ground. So I just make a bunch of shit up about them and then provide links to something close, but not really true. It’s terrible. I know. I really can’t help it. Lying is what I do.
    Sorry.

  164. 164

    @161 The GOP would rather let the whole country catch Zika than fund one more Planned Parenthood mammogram. What a bunch of sorry-ass losers!

    “I think their intent was good, and they were considerate to me,” said one of those subjects, Diane Ruffcorn, 40, of Seattle, who said she was sexually abused as a child. “But what concerned me, I was given this drug, and all these tests, and then it was goodbye, I was on my own. There was no follow-up.”

    Why do you hate veterans, Piddles Liar?

    As with everything Congressional Republicans attempt, the bill that included a ton of pork and some ZIKA funding wasn’t a serious bill.

    Zika is a sexually transmitted virus. Take a stab in the dark what organization in the United States treats millions of patients with STDs each year? Take a wild guess at which organization was mentioned (Bill of Attainder, heard of it?) as being ineligible for funding to treat ZIKA.

    Even if you’ve never heard the word ZIKA efore today I’ll bet you can guess which organization the GOP wanted to defund today?

    The GOP, if you get sick we want you to only see a doctor we approve of because FREEEEEEEDOM!

    Hey, anyone here anything new about that transgender activist who claims “they” were attacked on Capitol Hill last week?

    Zika is a sexually transmitted virus.

    Really checkmate? Really? The virus primarily mosquito-borne! Zika is primarily spread by the female Aedes aegypti mosquito! THAT is from the CDC! Butt don’t let that stop a good DUMMOCRETIN senate argument because everything to DUMMOCRETINS is political!

    Sure it can also be sexually transmitted butt those poor ladies bitten by the mosquito giving birth to microcephaly (DUMMOCRETIN sized) brains had sex before being bitten.

    There goes that insipid argument. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    KAAAAAAAAAAAAAABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  181. 181

    Regarding that Zika funding DUMMOCRETINS always want to print more money for every crisis instead of looking for ways to use existing funding not spent. This bill would use $750 million from other health programs to help fund Zika efforts of which $543 million in unused Obummercare funds, $107 million unused from the Ebola fight, and $100 million unused Health and Human Services Department administrative funds.

    Of course to checkmate and the DUMMOCRETIN senate, that is unacceptable. To DUMMOCRETINS the ends always justifies the means.
