– Now that Scott Walker is no longer running for President, we’ll only have like, 1000 or so GOP Presidential candidates to make fun of. Also, Scott Walker when he does terrible things as governor.

– I always feel a bit strange about numbers that I don’t have much context for. $600,000 seems like both a lot and not enough Federal money for body cameras for SPD.

– About Those “Thousands and Thousands” of Planned Parenthood Alternatives

– The security zone for the Chinese President is strange to walk through.

– Even if that Trump questioner was a plant (and there’s no evidence of it), any decent candidate, or human, would be able come up with a good answer.

– Viola Davis’ Emmy speech was so great.

    Of course Republicans are making up shit about alternatives to PP health care. Why wouldn’t they? They lie about everything else.

  2. 2

    If Trump’s questioner was a liberal plant, then we hired a rightwinger for the job, because no liberal person could fake that guy’s act.

    Seattle traffic will be awful today. Why does Xi need so much security? Maybe because he’s dictator over a billion and a half human beings, most of whom hate his guts?

    Meanwhile, I wonder if he’s orchestrating Chinese military jets buzzing U.S. military jets over the South China Sea from his suite in the Westin.

    If I get the chance, I’d like to talk with him about the Made-In-China can opener I bought at Fred Meyer because I couldn’t find anything else. The POS broke the third time I used it. Probably was made by slave labor using “steel” from one of Mao’s backyard blast furnaces.

    Everything from China is worthless crap. Not that Made-In-USA is always better; too many corner-cutting businessmen in this country. Mrs. Rabbit just bought a garden tool from Germany made of real steel, not recycled rebar, and welded together, not duct taped. It’s hard to find quality any more. That’s “free enterprise” for ya.

    Everyone knows the GOP candidates, except for maybe the self-funding half-Democrat, are Koch surrogates. So instead of running polls on Jeb! or Marco or Carly, pollsters should find out what voters think of Chuck and Dave, because that’s who will really run the country if any of them get to the White House. I’m not sure how that will work, maybe the brothers will take turns being president and vice-president, respectively. I’m just curious how many people would vote for the GOP if they knew it was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kochtopus Industries.

    Some people think the Pope shouldn’t antagonize Republicans. I think he’s good that he’s speaking frankly and honestly about climate change, economic inequality and poverty, and other issues. Who cares about fake Christians’ feelings? Jesus didn’t.

    If you’re not a white, English-speaking, church-going, native-born, suburban soccer dad, Jeb! says fuck you! To wit (translated from plain English into politician-speak):

    I hate these VIP visits. They’re disruptive and cause enormous inconveniences for us lowlifes. The mayor is urging people to telecommute; but how does a plumber, barista, or nurse telecommute? I wish dignitaries and dictators would stay in their ivory castles and leave the rest of us alone.

    Ben Carson, “Muslims feel that their religion is very much a part of your public life and what you do as a public official, and that’s inconsistent with our principles and our Constitution.”

    http://www.rawstory.com/2015/0.....-comments/

    And yet making religion a part of your public life and what you do as a public official is okay for Kim Davis and other Christian bigots. I take it that Christian public official bigotry must be consistent with our principles and constitution.

    @18

    You can’t be Christian unless you hate gays. It’s clear. It’s second source material from the Apostle Paul. And that Old Testament stuff that Jesus swept aside like diet didn’t sweep away any of the gay stuff. It’s cristal clear. The way my Pastor interprets what is the devine word of God is better than what the Pope or Reverend Wright interprets as the devine word of God. Gays are icky 100% of the time and if you don’t agree you can’t be a Christian. Because Jesus in the Gospels has so many quotes on the matter…blah, blah, blah. Take the parts of the OT we still like, say Jesus overuled all the stuff we don’t like (cool, I can do labor on the Sabath and eat delicious bacon!) plus what literary scholars would call unreliable authority of memory by those claiming to be present at events and…

    Viola! We have the one true faith!

  24. 24

    “Mr. Carson said the only exception he’d make would be if the Muslim running for office “publicly rejected all the tenets of Sharia and lived a life consistent with that,” according to his interview with the Hill.”

    http://www.rawstory.com/2015/0.....-comments/

    Not mentioned is that Muslim-hating and gay-hating Christian bigots need not publically reject all tenants of Biblical law and to live a life consistent with that. Rather, they should be allowed to freely discriminate against the people they hate.

    God To Scott Walker: ‘Psych!’
    By capper

    Stephen Colbert had a hilarious tribute to Scott Walker’s ejection from the GOP clown car, including a takedown of Walker’s claims that God had first told him to run, and then told him to lead by getting out of the way.
    But the final straw for Walker’s campaign was how his real god, the Almighty Dollar, had forsaken him:

    Ha.

    @25

    I’ve said this before but to all those who claim God spoke directly to them and told them to run for President only to lose badly…

    This is from the comments…this guy sounds like Rabbit if Roger had been a Doc:

    If there’s one thing I learned from teaching (31+ / 0-)
    a generation of young physicians, it was this:

    Don’t get sick.

    The other thing was this: despite the fact that we both wear white coats, physicians ain’t scientists, and vice versa. I have no informed opinions regarding brain surgery, and Carson has no informed opinions regarding evolution. The difference between us is that I know enough to keep my mouth shut about brain surgery.

    Jeb! “the smart one” Bush! says we should not be a “multi-cultural” society. So he’ll eliminate St. Patrick’s Day, Columbus Day, Cinco De Mayo, Mardi Gras, Hanukkah, etc. on “Day One”. I know the bars won’t be happy.

    @24 “Not mentioned is that Muslim-hating and gay-hating Christian bigots need not publically reject all tenants of Biblical law and to live a life consistent with that.”

    I’d be very pleased if they did live a life consistent with the tenets of the religion they profess to be so devoted to. I’ve never found anything in the Christian Bible (i.e., the New Testament) that says their lying, cheating, stealing, hating, and killing is okay. The OT doesn’t really give them permission to do that, either, if you understand it properly. I think they get it from the Church of Fox and similar sources.

    Well, here’s what you got for the disruption and inconvenience of the Chinese president’s visit to Seattle: Boeing is going to build airplanes in China. No wonder Xi is smiling.

    http://www.king5.com/story/mon...../72676358/

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: It’s time to make Boeing pay federal and state taxes. They’re not even an American company anymore.

    In the old days, you could graduate from high school, get a factory job, and plan to be there 40 years if you showed up on time, did the job right, and worked hard. With job security, you could get married, take out a mortgage to buy a house, raise a family with a stay-at-home mom, and maybe have enough left over to finance a vacation home and some toys. The worst disaster that could befall a family was for the breadwinner to die, get sick, or become disabled.

    Now, wages are too low to pay for any of that, there’s no such thing as permanent employment, and no one but the upper crust has any financial security. Is it any wonder the economy is struggling because of weak consumer spending?

    Do you really need to ask why people are afraid to spend?

  43. 43

    I really don’t know how people could have so much hate for President Obama and The First Lady (especially Michelle).

    What’s hilarious is the outpouring of love for the Chinese dictator president who isn’t really elected by the people by the Seattle libtards.

    Where are the NOW Gals protesting the Chinese dictator guy with their forced abortion policies? Oops… Puddy’s bad… abortions are A-OK with libtards!

    Where are the protests of internet hacking by Chinese dictator players? Well that didn’t affect little old me on my couch in Seattle creating the crazed databaze so no worries here!

    Where are the Chinese dictator protests of copying MSFT software and using it illegally? Oh that only hurts MSFT jobs and they are way overpaid more than $15/hr.

    Where are the child labor advocates protesting the Chinese dictator guy with their forced child labor policies?

    Where are the war on wimens gals with the Chinese dictator guy crackdown on wimens protesting male misogynist attacks on their persons?

    Did you know more people protested Scott Walker “Protest Governor Scott Walker on September 5th in Seattle ” and “Seattle Makes Scott Walker Feel Right at Home – Protest ” than those protesting the Chinese dictator president? Puddy saw four Asian picketers at Boeing yesterday! How many of you DUMMOCRETINS protested Scott Walker? Seems a real waste of DUMMOCRETIN time! HEH HEH HEH! Keep wasting it!

    Now onto more of yesterday…

    Where is the clamor after the Pope said this…

    I would like all men and women of good will in this great nation to support the efforts of the international community to protect the vulnerable in our world and to stimulate integral and inclusive models of development

    What about the development of the vulnerable black children in the inner cities? #blacklivesmatter only when they are killed by police. Richard Sherman was violently verbally attacked for speaking the truth. He claimed his black best bud was gunned down by two 35 year old black men. Others attacked Richard Sherman for talking from the heart. #thoseblacklivesdontmatter

    Didn’t Obummer say yesterday

    We thank you for your passionate voice against the deadly conflicts that ravage the lives of so many men, women and children, and your call for nations to resist the sirens of war and resolve disputes through diplomacy.

    Yet we know the continual mass migration of refugees these past few days and the sad pictures of that little boy’s death are stark reminders of the JV team called ISIS and the red line in the sand what was erased by Obummer’s feckless middle east policy! The HA DUMMOCRETIN libtards love to throw up the “Iraqi death totals” from DUMMOCRETINS thought web sites butt skip right over the hundred of thousands killed and are now homeless because of Obummer’s middle east dithering! Go DUMMOCRETINS!

    Where is the clamor after Obummer said this

    but by how well we hew to Scripture’s call to lift up the poor and the marginalized — (applause) — to stand up for justice and against inequality, and to ensure that every human being is able to live in dignity –- because we are all made in the image of God.

    So HA libtard DUMMOCRETINS aborted babies are able to live in dignity? Really? When you have aborted babies born alive; products of conception; and they are harvested for their organs? Imagine if Triple S or rujaxoffallthetimestillprovingnuthinappears were aborted years ago and harvested for their organs? We’d now have a much better understanding of the infant lunatic mind as it becomes an adult. Two prime examples here every day on HA! Two less continually left wrong morons on this blog eh? Wait a minute… aborting babies is A-OK to DUMMOCRETINS in America. It’s the rest of the world the Pope needs to worry over.

    Because we know legislatively last week, 177 House DUMMOCRETINS voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act that would require doctors to keep babies born alive during an abortion process from dying. 177 libtard progressive DUMMOCRETINS jack booted goose step lock marched to this document and voted for donkonfanticide! http://chrissmith.house.gov/up.....on_act.pdf DISGUSTING! Where was Obummer’s voice on that! So now we have on record 177 DUMMOCRETINS voting in the House.? And Obummer spews that crapola about “every human being is able to live in dignity”! What a joke!

    Then we see the Christian hating DUMMOCRETINS all over America fawn over the Pope coming to America. Where was the DUMMOCRETIN clamor when the Pope said this

    With countless other people of good will, they are likewise concerned that efforts to build a just and wisely ordered society respect their deepest concerns and their right to religious liberty.

    Just and wise society with DUMMOCRETINS at the head…? Respect religious liberty…? Obummer and DUMMOCRETINS? Obummer tried to force ObummerCare down religious people’s throats. They screamed when the Hobby Lobby won. Forcing Christian charities to provide abortion pills through ObumerCare! Obummer and his cadre of DUMMOCRETINS hate Christians! If you are a Christian baker or a Christian florist too bad. Your religious views don’t count! If you make pizza in a restaurant you better watch out!

    Just and wise society… where if you have any view that isn’t politically correct the haters will marginalize you with the “phobe” word ending! Your views and opinions don’t count because progressive DUMMOCRETINS are FASCISTS! You can’t speak your mind anymore!

    Butt, what happened to the deep hatred for p e d o phile priests? Well Salon answers that with http://www.salon.com/2015/09/2.....a_monster/ – No need to copy and paste because now to DUMMOCRETINS it’s the new norm! Now it’s OK so drop the faux hatred against those priests because inside many DUMMOCRETINS are p e d o philes too!.

    Of course this will fly right over HA DUMMOCRETINS whom think like rujaxoffallthetimestillprovingnuthinappears, closet foreplay, checkmate, the teabaggin buttbusting BULLSHITTIUM buttbigot gorilla, the vomit producer, Triple S, the crazed databaze arschloch, worser, and many others because hey we need to have Seattle based jobs in China, we need to have the WA State economy dependent on China and we love Chinese made goods in WA State.

  65. 65

    Aha! I get it. Because #blacklivesmatter exists something something Piddles doesn’t like Red China so it’s racist that black folk weren’t protesting the Chinese beacuse something about American Police beating Chinese religious folks and something else about why don’t May Day protesters show up with their iPhones and something else that only makes sense through the seive that is Piddles logic.

    On October 10, 2012, the U.S. Border Patrol sent bullets flying across the border from Arizona into Mexico at a Mexican teenager who, depending on whose story you believe, was (a) walking to school in his own country or (b) part of a mob of youths throwing rocks at Border Patrol agents. The teenager was hit 10 times and died. Yesterday, a Border Patrol agent involved in the incident was indicted for murder.

    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bo.....ican-teen/

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This isn’t the first such incident. Apparently, Mexican youths frequently respond to Border Patrol attempts to nab illegals trying to sneak across the border by throwing stones at the agents. Border Patrol agents view this rock-throwing as potentially lethal and therefore feel they can respond with deadly force. At least one previous similar incident has resulted in the death of a Mexican youth on Mexican soil from Border Patrol gunfire from the U.S. side. The Mexican government obviously has plenty of domestic gunfire to worry about, but it seems to me that any time government agents of one country shoot across a border into another country without the latter country’s permission, that’s an act of war.

    Well, if Carly Fiorina can get herself $40 million for bringing HP to its knees, then I reckon this fucker deserves even more.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....e8b0d1814e

    Here’s one reason why people like Fiorina and the VW tard get away with this shit. They vote for each other’s pay and bonuses.

    “Some members of corporate boards have an even greater self-interest in making sure that the compensation of the CEO continues to go up, up, and up. They are the CEOs of other companies. You don’t have to be a compensation expert to realize that if you vote for one of your peers to have a higher salary, you are in effect voting for your own salary to go up, because it is based on what will be a higher market.”

    “In 2004 Congress passed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 — after high pressure lobbying from Hewlett-Packard among others — that included a incentive for companies to repatriate profits stashed overseas with the understanding the money would be invested in job-creating research and development.”

    “Instead, under Fiorina’s stewardship, HP took $4 billion of the $4.3 billion in tax breaks and funneled the money into a stock buyback program that enriched shareholders including herself.”

    “Instead of hiring more workers, HP laid off 14,500 workers due to plummeting share prices following Fiorina’s disastrous decision to purchase Compaq that caused profits to plummet.”

    Once again Triple S use of raw story hands his ASS to the world just like Triple S use of raw story on the policeman who was an FBI informant on the KKK and Triple S proved his triple the amount of shit between the ears of a normal DUMMOCRETIN bone fides again.
