I like to take pause on each Thanksgiving day to give thought to those things for which I’m grateful. To my friends here, both left and right, thank you for being a friend.
I was correct about Hillary not winning the election, but Trump is a pretty crappy outcome, too. I didn’t vote for either Hillary or Trump.
Well, it’s only for four years, because I’m pretty sure Trump won’t get re-elected.
Drumpf’s education secretary nominee, Betsy DeVos, married into the Amway fortune. Amway, you know, multi-level marketing. Her hubby’s dad (who is still living), was one of the co-founders. The DeVos family is worth around $5 billion. Betsy supports an organization that is striving to reinstate child labor. This group calls work a “gift” to children, characterizes labor as “creative service,” and addresses workplace danger in the following terms: “Let’s not pretend that danger is something that every young teen wants to avoid.” These are CHILDREN they’re talking about!

Here’s another interesting tidbit about Betsy DeVos: Erik Prince, the founder of notorious Iraq War private contractor Blackwater, which later changed its name to Xe after controversies erupted over its “private security contractors” killing Iraqi civilians, is her brother.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Yeah, the Drumpf regime is going to be just as bad as we feared. Child labor. Whew. I suspect some of these hangers-on around Drump would like to repeal the Thirteenth Amendment, too.
@2 It doesn’t take four years to create a clusterfuck.
@4
You’re just pissed because I want right and you were wrong.
Happy Thanksgiving anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving.. We won’t discuss politics this evening. We got that out of our system last night at a nearby food and drink establishment.
It was doing good business. Comfort food is in high demand after the recent catastrophe.

@5 I’m not pissed. I’m going to be fine. I can live off the land, and can’t get pregnant. Electing Trump is exactly what I expected you stupid humans to do. Rabbits would know better, but humans don’t have an ounce of common sense and learn nothing from history or experience.
@8 My parents are dead. (sniffle)
@ 10 as are mine

Happy Private Property Day! We call it “Thanksgiving.” But had the Pilgrims not given up “communal” living, we’d call it “Starvation Day”
Thank You, President Obama And The Democrats!
And it’s true, Republicans have many things for which to be thankful for Obama. ….
@ 3
#CrookedHillary married a guy who was governor and then president. Since we apparently are talking about stepping stones or something.
Check out the background of Hugh Rodham, her brother.
Now STFU, just for awhile. Dumbfuck.
@12 It’s always amusing to watch a troll trying to shut me up. No one’s ever been able to do that. You will fail, too.
Two bits of advice for today: Don’t talk about politics over the table, and don’t try to deep-fry a frozen turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving. Aww shucks there will be parades and football next Thanksgiving. Will the turkeys be even bigger, I don’t know poor birds can hardly walk now at the larger sizes. I think we have hit a biological limit or do we want turkeys as big as a T-Rex. That would be great, but perhaps not a good idea. If they should like rabbit though letting one loose around the rabbit hole under the tree in Greenlake Park could be amusing, Can a rabbit fire a gun without opposable thumbs (and aim)?
Time to rediscover your humanity you anthromorphic rabbit.
Totally non partisan, it would delight me even if we’re her fan.

Tomorrow is a holiday. Yours truly has never participated in that consuming insanity..
However, we’ll be here for cocktail hours – every Friday at sunset.. This week the sun sets on Friday at 4:23pm…
Please join me for hours of conversation while sipping on your favorite libation.
Trolls will no doubt drop in but NOT the babbling jackass unless of course it does.. Isn’t that a time to be savored? An HA comment threads free of the noise from that particular annoying troll – imagine that!
Heh. We’ll see you tomorrow..
Don’t forget to hug a teacher this Thanksgiving. After all, there’s only a 1-in-5 chance that teacher voted for Trump. Unless, that is, it’s 1-in-3.
Teacher unions smarting after many members vote for Trump
Despite early and eager endorsements of Clinton by both unions, the nation’s school teachers and other school workers contributed substantially to Trump’s Nov. 8 win.
How substantially? About one in five American Federation of Teachers (AFT) members who cast a ballot voted for Trump, the union’s leader estimated. Among the larger National Education Association (NEA), which comprises more than 3 million members, more than one in three who voted did so for the billionaire developer, early data show.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/.....spartandhp
It’s OK, libbie politicians. It’s not so much the union members you want as it is union dollars. And in this state your seat is safe. Probably.
The numbers are in: Trump wins Michigan by 10,704 Which gives Trump 306 Electoral College votes ( the ONLY ones that matter) over Clinton’s 232.
OH MY…
“Which candidate is more likely to pull that off? According to the latest polls and other available data from each state, Donald Trump is already in a deep hole if he hopes to put together 270 electors — and Hillary Clinton needs only to stay the course to become the next president and first woman ever to hold the office.”
“According to the election data site Election Graphs, which compiles polling data on a state-by-state basis as well as using data on past elections and other tendencies, even in a worst-case scenario for Clinton, she would still win a narrow victory over Trump, with 279 electoral votes to 259 for the Republican.”
“The Cook Political Report sees an electoral map with 44 delegates from too-close-to-call “battleground” states remaining up in the air. But even leaving out those states, Clinton already appears likely to score 304 electoral votes to just 190 for Trump. Even if Trump won all of the battleground states, he still loses.”
I wonder if they all enjoyed eating their words with their turkey… Did you?

@2. I didn’t vote for Trump. I did vote for Clinton. But I have to say that if Trump does run in another 4 years, which I have my doubts he would, he will be re-elected.
Thinking that he couldn’t get re-elected is the same mistake as saying that he was going to lose this go around.
And he might even get more vote next time than he did last time.
Teabagged Again

Why People Lost Their Minds When A Brooklyn Store Played ‘Sweet Home Alabama’
Ignoring It Doesn’t Make It Go Away
Blah, blah, blah. Honest to God, do these people ever shut up? Must they inflict their deracinated world view — a view that comes right out of the can of cultural Marxism — 365 days a year? If they win, they blabber and strut; if they lose, they cringe and whine.
On another note, BOY, when things go sideways for you libbies, they REALLY go sideways, don’t they?

Black Friday Black Lives Matter Protest Could Attract 3,000 To Westlake
http://patch.com/washington/se.....0-westlake
Meanwhile, the Downtown Seattle Association has downsized this year’s traditional Black Friday Christmas tree lighting. The group has said it’s not because of protests, but because it wants to focus resources on events at Occidental Square and Westlake Park.
Of COURSE it’s because of the protests:
Brandi Kruse ✔ @BrandiKruse
Kids who came here to sing for tree lighting were unable to. Protester: “Who cares. Mike Brown doesn’t get a Christmas.” #Seattle #Ferguson
Eric Wilkinson ✔ @EricWilkinson
Children crying in the crowd as #Ferguson protesters disrupt Seattle tree lighting.

Now, remember, HA libbies, when this shit starts anew tomorrow, and one of you decides enough is enough and tries to, you know, protect your children, Goldy and Co. will be sure to call you racist.
So here’s my quandary: early in October I placed a request with KCLS for the DVD, Hillary’s America, The Secret History of the Democratic Party. When I placed the “hold” I was number 196 of over 300 for 1 of 15 copies. Today, more than a month later I am still number 94 of 138 hold requests! Now granted, 138 hold requests is not a huge number compared to nearly 900 requests for the latest Harlen Coben book, but this is King (is “with HER”) County! Do I still want to see it or is it no longer relevant? Decisions, decisions.
Oh hell, I’ll just hang in, wait and watch it when it’s my turn … as a cautionary tale!
@ 24
No quandary necessary. You have options.
1. Have YLB share some secrets of how he’s been able to get so much free shit his whole life.
2. Amazon will sell you a new one for $9.99, or you can watch it right now for $5.99 as a rental. Plus tax, of course.
Buying a DVD is only 2/3 of the price of one of those shirts @ 20 #CrookedHillary is still trying to shill. Plus, you’ll be able to share it around. Quietly, of course. Maybe ask that nice teacher @ 18 who seems to have a spine and some common sense if (s)he’d like to borrow it.
Not sure if this would be Karma or just ignorance is bliss.
Kaboom!

@15 “Time to rediscover your humanity you anthromorphic rabbit.”
Why the hell would I want to be like you stupid humans?
@17 You eat deserts? You humans are strange.
@18 Yeah, let’s get rid of the remaining unions! And vote Republican! That’ll really show ’em!
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fo.....-increase/
@19 Doesn’t bother me. I’m too old to fight any more wars, and I own several defense stocks. I’ll probably get a tax cut financed by borrowing from China, too. I’ll be fine.
@20 You prefer a red hat made in China, as do all the idiots who thought voting for Trump would get them their factory jobs back, and at union wages, too.
Grifting never goes out of style, because there’s a new batch of suckers born every minute.
@22 “On another note, BOY, when things go sideways for you libbies, they REALLY go sideways, don’t they?”
Only if you’re unfortunate enough to be a human. It’s not a problem for us rabbits. We’ll still live in the same burrows and eat the same lettuce.
@24 If you get tired of waiting, you could always buy one for $9.95, although I appreciate that’s a lot of money for the average Trump voter.

Republicans tell us everyone should accept the election results and move on. Except when their candidate is losing.

“That’ll really show ’em!”
“And while middle-class families as a whole would receive tax cuts of about 2 percent, they’d be dwarfed by the windfalls averaging 13.5 percent for America’s richest 1 percent”
Our middle-class trolls hootin’ and hollarin’ after voting for Trump and then he gives them a pittance for a tax cut while slashing them for the rich. Stupid fucks. Pretty soon they’ll be cheering soaring deficits, losing their over-time pay and sending their children off to die in a senseless war that started with a tweet.
It took some doing, but once again our trolls have redefined the word “fucktard”.
“Louisiana Republican admits to sexting teen boy and buying him sexy underwear but says ‘I’m not gay’”

Of course he isn’t gay. He’s just your typical creepy Republican pedophile – the kind of guy to whom our trolls gladly give their vote. I wonder why that is? Heh. Actually, no, I don’t.

Greetings fellow HA HEROES.. It’s Friday just after sunset and we are at last babbing jackass troll free. Let’s hang out with our favorite drinks and snacks and celebrate some time on the HA comment threads without the annoying link spam and incessesant babbling of the odious babbling jackass troll.
Coming right up is a cocktail recipe.
This week is a drink inspired by the villainous character Simon on The Walking Dead who revealed himself in the last episode as a “gin man”..
FLYING SCORPION..
A rocket fuel version of the classic Scorpion..
Combine:
1 oz Gin, Beefeater
1 oz Grand Marnier
1/2 oz Light Rum, ideally Havana Club 3-Year
2/3 oz Lime Juice, fresh
1 tsp Orgeat Syrup
Shake with ice and pour out into a stemmed glass along with the ice cubes. If a weaker drink is desired, add a splash of soda water.. Now float
1 tsp 151-proof Rum, such as Bacardi..
Garnish with a tropical flower that has a few drops of almond extract on it.
Get hammered.
Sip…
Isn’t it so nice and quiet around here? Savor it fellow HA heroes!
This is living!
Ehhhh. No concern of mine at the moment or as it should be – any moment..
Sip…
It’s just so nice that the babbling jackass is putting something other than this website first..
Except of course, when it doesn’t..
Heh.
Peace.. Quiet.. The country is going to hell to be sure but here in the threads there’s some respite..
Sip…
@ 39
Pretty soon they’ll be cheering soaring deficits…
Um, Steve? Any idea what will happen to deficits if there are no changes, buddy?
Here, let Mama CBO help you wipe that smirk off of your fucking mug:
If current laws governing taxes and spending did not change, the United States would face steadily increasing federal budget deficits and debt over the next 30 years, according to projections by CBO. Federal debt held by the public, which was equal to 39 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) at the end of fiscal year 2008, has already risen to 75 percent of GDP in the wake of a financial crisis and a recession. In CBO’s projections, that debt rises to 86 percent of GDP in 2026 and to 141 percent in 2046—exceeding the historical peak of 106 percent that occurred just after World War II. The prospect of such large debt poses substantial risks for the nation and presents policymakers with significant challenges.
Why Are Projected Deficits Rising?
In CBO’s projections, deficits rise during the next three decades because the government’s spending grows more quickly than its revenues do…
https://www.cbo.gov/publication/51580
I suppose I should look at the bright side. We’re nearing the first time in eight years that HA libbies will have given a fuck about the federal deficit.
Sip…
Poor boob.. Never gave a flying “fuck” that President Obama’s first term started in the depths of the Bush depression – an economic disaster boob enabled twice..
And what is the government supposed to do when the economy contracts? Cut spending? A recipe for even deeper economic pain which of course is what the Republicans wanted.
Can’t let the black guy take credit for swift economic recovery. Draw out the pain as long as possible whining about “out of control” government spending all along the way..
Gee a 0.1 percenter who makes 5.74 million a year and up can look forward to a 1 million dollar tax cut. Wow! That’ll create a lot of jobs just like Bush’s tax cuts.. And the budget will magically balance. We saw the results in 2008.
Middle class will continue to hollow out as it has since Reagan.. Mission accomplished.
Sip..
My suggested cocktail:
Two measures of high-quality bourbon in a highball glass.
That’s it.
I mean, what kind of pansy orders something at “Happy Hour” that has to be @ 45 garnished with a tropical flower?
Reminds me of Mary Richards’ interview with Lou Grant in his office, on the MTM Show, first episode:
Lou Grant: Look, Miss, I was just about to have a drink, and I wouldn’t mind some company. Want one?
Mary Richards: Oh, no thank you.
Lou Grant: I said I wouldn’t mind some company.
Mary Richards: Well, all right, I’ll… I’ll have a Brandy Alexander.
Once again, YLB: This is why nearly everyone mistakes you for a woman.
And why nobody takes you seriously when they find out you aren’t, girlfriend.
@51 Meat and potatoes man booob grrrrrrrrr… Salt and pepper.. that’s it…
Damn boob. You worked a lifetime to have a colorless retirement..
Whitewashed existence. Dull…
Sip…
@49 And Trump’s trillion-dollar infrastructure plan and tax cuts for the rich help this how?
Mark my words, when deficits soar under Trump. the Repugnants either won’t say a thing or they’ll blame it on Obama and the trailer park voters will lap it up.
@51 If women ran the world (tried elsewhere, but never here) maybe we wouldn’t have so many goddamned wars and depressions.
@53 And it’s as phony an “infrastructure” plan as they come..
Only “profit making” projects need apply like private toll roads..
Texas is an example… It’s a failure..
Private prisons are another example. An incentive for corruption.
@ 54
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with women.
Probably why YLB tries so hard to be perceived as one, I would imagine.
@56 Boob’s fantasy life is strange…
You don’t have to go further than Drumpf and his “African American” Ben Carson..
Two woman talkers right boob?
Stick to your side of the ailse, slummer.. Sip..
@49. Already making fucking excuses for the Party. Way to go fuckfsce!
@54 Right you are. Boob the white trailer trash himself is already on board.
All aboard! Chug-a chug-a, chug-a chug-a, cho cho!
Boob the White Trash Conductor.
What’s up there HA heroes? Looks like boob’s gotten its digs in and split.
I just fixed myself another cocktail.. Life is good..

HA hero (n): One of a group of 15-20 people, all male, who toe the liberal line and quote dailykos-isms when engaging with a disagreeable few who show up here to learn something about what the other side has to say.
Wearing a cape while sitting at the computer doesn’t make you Superman. Never will.
Know what might be heroic, YLB? Venturing out of the echo chamber you’ve inhabited for so long, sister.
@61 Bzzzzzztttt.. Wrong… It takes a HERO to a deal with a ZERO like an HA troll…
It doesn’t matter what we say to the trolls although by and large we’re well informed..
We’re here to laugh at the ZEROES – the trolls.. Nothing you’ve brought here impresses any of us, quite the opposite. It’s so awful we have to laugh.
Why do we have to venture anywhere? You troll nutcases bring the choicest bits of always wrong wing bullshit here every day don’t you?
The babbling jackass is link farm in itself.. Speaking of which it’s kind of nice without him around. Every Friday at sunset..
Sip…
62 – That’s precisely to kind of attitude that helped elect Donald Trump. Congratulations on achieving your goal of being an elitist jerk.
@63 If you’re impressed and feel informed by what the trolls bring to the table here, I can’t say I have any respect for you.
Nope I’m not going to say sorry or apologize for anything.
“Here, let Mama CBO help you wipe that smirk off of your fucking mug”
Lord knows you’d never try.
“We’re nearing the first time in eight years that HA libbies will have given a fuck about the federal deficit.”
You can take your lying snide and shove it up your ass. For decades we’ve scorned Republican presidents for soaring yearly deficits and we’ve praised the current president and previous Democratic president for lowering the yearly national deficit.
We’ve seen soaring yearly national deficits under every Republican administration since Reagan, and add to that, you gave us the 1987 crash and the 2008 Great Recession. And that’s not to mention how Reagan turned tail and ran after Beirut and the last Republican president read ‘My Pet Goat’ as thousands of Americans died, and then followed that up by invading the wrong country, adding the costs to the to our debt even as he gave yet more tax cuts to the rich while allowing Osama Bin Laden to flee to safety.
Here’s what Republicans believe.
“Deficits don’t matter”, VP Dick Cheney.
For Republicans, all deficits are is the means to drown our nation’s government “in a bathtub” of debt. So you can quit pretending that you give a shit about debt, Doctor, and that we don’t.
You and your snide can go fuck yourself, Doctor.
@65 nice job Steve! Tell the mother fuckers what reality is.
Fuck every mother fucking conservative hypocrite. They claim they aren’t elitests. They are just self righteous smart ass dumb shits.
A man murdered, beaten and shot to death in the streets, and what is the first question about him the press asks?
Did he have a criminal record?
I mean, he’s black of course, so he’s just gotta be a criminal thug of some sort and probably brought it on himself, provoking some helpless poor innocent white men who were just out minding their own business until some filthy Negro crossed their path and forced them to defend themselves.
What a world.
In 3….2…1….. leftists and progressives will start telling us what a great man Castro was………
just like they did with Che…….
@ 68
Do you know anything at all about what Cuba was like before Castro?
The National Police were just a crime syndicate who were tasked with keeping the Brothels full of young girls, among other things. Brothels that were owned by the President and his cronies. During Prohibition and the Great Depression, Cuba was the go-to destination for rich Americans to get their jollies, such as screwing pre-teen girls.
…go-to destination for rich Americans to get their jollies, such as screwing pre-teen girls.
Say, where’s Jeffrey Epstein, lately? And what go-to destination for that is Bill Clinton using these days?
@ 70
I dunno, maybe you should ask the President-Elect. He’d know for sure. They were close business associates for several decades, after all.
They even share their tastes in women.
“Say, where’s Jeffrey Epstein, lately?”
“I dunno, maybe you should ask the President-Elect.”
Considering what we’ve seen so far, with this president-elect, Epstein is probably in line for cabinet post, or at least an Ambassadorship.
“And what go-to destination for that is Bill Clinton using these days?”
Then again, and this is to borrow our insipid Doctor’s notion of reasoning things out, more likely the president-elect intends to use Epstein to continue providing him with 13 year-old girls to rape who remind him of a 13 year-old Ivanka, who he raped as well.
@70 yes Boob now condoning rape just because he doesn’t want to own up to it. Get the magic eraser out – and wipe the slate clean by saying, “Oh but Bill Clinton fucked monkeys….”
Real classy you dumb fuck Boob.
