    The music in the background while President Trump came in and was seated at the funeral was Hymn to the Fallen from Saving Private Ryan, by John Williams. It's an emotional piece of music.  

    Saving Private Ryan is fake WWII news.

    I’m never going to budge off of the position that being willing to harm someone is ok so long as you are trying to feed them jesus is sick, cruel, and insanely twisted.

    I'll never budge from the position that teaching a child there's a place called Hell where they'll burn for all eternity if they're not good qualifies as exactly that.

    Once sent my wife to the HEB five minutes from my house to get one ingredient that I needed for the dinner I was already preparing (and the reason why I needed it was that she used the last of it and didn't write it on the grocery list that's on the fridge, so I had no idea we didn't have it).  

    Took her 40 minutes to return.  She "saw people that she knew."  

    "Did you tell them that your husband is at home waiting for this ingredient so that he can finish dinner for the family?  I guess not.  Maybe you should have?"

    TONE.  

    She meant she "knew" them in the biblical sense.

    You can replace trump with the entire GOP.  And change debt to climate change and you've got another couple articles.

     

    It wasn't by accident that the tax cuts for the rich were permanent while those for the middle class were set to expire in...seven years. And gullible middle class voters think he's working for them.

    I believe this is known as "Chooky's Law"  and can be applied more universally, across the internet.

    Yeah, it's usually stated: "Don't feed the trolls."

    Wings suck and are a total waste of money.

    You are basically paying about $12 a pound for pieces of chicken that have a tiny amount of actual meat on them.

    Give me a breast, leg or a thigh.

    The chicken wing is just a delivery vehicle for the sauce.

  7. George called it "Voodoo Economics." He was right. But they're still selling it. Why isn't that the lead story being trumpeted by every news source? Or any news source?

    His son Jeb(!), the so called "smart" one, the one who was expected to be next in iine for the presidency before Dubya cock blocked him, called Trump a "pathological liar." He was right too. Is the Bush family hiding from that? Don't want to piss off the DOTUS? Because maybe he could really hurt you? You've all got it pretty good as long as we're all addicted to oil so let's not rock the boat?

  8. 1. Jesus, Kenny. Everything in that url starting with the question mark is unnecessary and superfluous. 

    2. In my experience, recommendations by America's Test Kitchen aren't very reliable. For example, don't sell me on a rice cooker with a lid that doesn't detach. 

    3. I need to replace my toaster oven. It still works okay but it's past its prime. It's made by Black & Decker. It's 31 years old. It's still functional and I use it regularly. Just used it tonight to cook a Bahama Mama and toast it's bun. I haven't shopped for a replacement but when I do I'll be looking for another Black & Decker.

    Buchanan was Trump before Trump with his stupid "culture war" bullshit. That time period was definitely when the GOP really began to swing to the far right. The other big event around then was the Republican takeover of the House and that asshole Gingrich's divisiveness and Contract with America.

    Of course, preceding both events was Reagan's invitation to the fundagelicals to the GOP which led to fucking Pat Robertson running as a nominee for the Republican Party in 1988 and beating Bush in Iowa, I believe.

    It was the combination of those events that forced me to reconsider my Republican upbringing. Had the party stayed on the sane side (and embraced science like Bush's early action on climate change and clean air, while also rejecting supply-side voodoo economics), this country would be much better off today.

    What did Bush 41 ever do with regard to global warming? (The right hadn't rebranded it as "climate change" yet in order to distract from its anthropogenic nature while he was in office.) Banning CFCs because of the hole in the ozone layer wasn't climate related. He didn't care much about environmental causes. I recall a speech he gave in opposition to some environmental cause lamenting that we'd lose jobs and be up to our necks in owls. He was totally part of the Republican war on science ushered in by Reagan.

    Trudeau appears to be staring into our country's soul and wondering "what the fuck were you people thinking"?

    He's obviously better at reading souls than Dubya was.

    Kissing family and close friends is part of the culture of hundreds of ethnic groups on our planet.  Provided it’s on the cheek or hand.  

    The people that handle your cum should just be sexual partners, fertility clinics, and the housekeeping staff at certain hoteliers.  

    Making your mom handle your jizz socks is just fucked up.  Get a tissue, it’s closer.  

    Yeah but you're probably not kissing anyone's socks. Pay close attention the next time you kiss your mom. Who knows? Maybe you'll catch a faint whiff of Skyline Chili. That's just me saying hello.

    This is not isolated stupidity of a lawyer and his client. Notice how Trump has echoed the claim that Mueller is trying to get witnesses to lie. Also note that Corsi is in a joint defense with Trump, meaning their lawyers can coordinate a defense.

    They are laying the groundwork to either fire Mueller or discredit his flips.

    Edit: This is Trump’s MO. Get an ally to make an outrageous claim, and then quote them to attack an enemy. Remember the “people are saying” about Cruz’s dad. Those people were his friends at the National Enquirer.

    Yeah, but Trump doesn't need anyone to say anything in order to employ the "people are saying" angle. More often than not, he's the only one saying it. That's an elementary tactic in sales. Most people have a psychological predisposition in favor of conformity so telling them that other people are thinking, saying, doing, or buying something makes it more likely that they'll go along.

    She's a talented grifter by trade.  She'll find some white knighting co-grifter to spell it out for her.

    So...someone currently unrelated to the Trump/Kushner organizations?

    Only to the extent it reflects on him.  If they pull a Cohen (which seems unlikely) he'd turn on them in a second.

    Ivanka might though.  She seems like the only one who has any path out of this.

    Someone would need to tell her what it is because she's too dumb to figure it out on her own.

    "Marvel Entertainment chairman Ike Perlmutter, West Palm Beach physician Bruce Moskowitz and lawyer Marc Sherman — part of the president’s circle at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida — reviewed a confidential draft of a $10 billion government contract for the electronic-records project, even though they lack any relevant expertise."

    The same can be said about the president and most of his administration so that should come as no surprise. I think it was George Will who called it "improvisational amateurism." It's a bunch of people who don't know what they're doing just making it up as they go along.

    Didn't find out well into my college years that young men jerked off into socks.  That is so fucking weird and gross to me.  Nevermind you're putting your dick where you put your feet...why a sock?  What kind of fucked up Oedipus complex did you have, leaving jizz in your sock for your poor mother to find on laundry day? 

    Or worse yet, a half dozen of 'em if you had a busy week?  That is so messed up.  Did they not have toilet paper, kleenex, paper towels, or napkins in your house?  Who honestly grew up with none of those things but an abundance of socks?  You jerk off into the paper product of your choice and you flush it or throw it away, case closed.  What kind of sick fuck jerks off into his dirty laundry and let's his mother handle it the next day?  

    Having said that, if you've ever used a washcloth at a Starwood or Hyatt property in the Continental United States, you've got my jizz on your face.  

    Have you ever kissed your mom? Guess what.

    So, after many years, I can finally contribute to Surly. We have had an automatic coffee machine for like 15 plus years. Side note, it’s been one of the best damn investment I have ever made, cutting out Starbucks.

     

    Mrs. GS: would you like some coffee?

    GS: yes dear

     

    Moments later…

     

    Mrs. GS: honey, we are out of beans.

    GS: ok then, well use your “special blend” and use the single serve button. You know the one for ground coffee?

    Mrs. GS: yes, yes I know.

     

    Moments later….

     

    GS: what the #@%* is this?

    Mrs. GS: it’s the Christmas blend, why? Did I make it too strong?

    GS: no dear, this is tea! How did you make this?

    Mrs. GS: I put the coffee (ground coffee) where you put the beans and selected the single server button like you said. Why?

    GS: face-palm!

    GS: you go and get the coffee from the store while I clean up your mess. Oh, and you just made Surly!!!

    Mrs. GS: Tone

    Could you be more specific?

  18. People who dress their dogs in sweaters to take them for a walk when the temperature is above freezing. They already have a fur coat, dumbass. It was 60 degrees outside and I just saw a couple walking their besweatered canine. Just because it's sweater weather for you doesn't mean it's sweater weather for them. Your dog probably sucks because you're a shitty, over-pampering owner. 

    It was an ugly sweater, too.

    They are recommending he and his wife are charged, but will they be charged, let alone convicted?  

    Yeah, no.  Because corruption works.

    Maybe the third time will be the charm? I don't know. I figured he'd be in jail by now. Israeli leaders seem to have a recent history of winding up in jail on corruption charges so we'll just have to wait and see.

    Speaking of Kevin Kline and John Cleese. 

    Cleese and Palin only have the one scene together but it's fucking brilliant. True artistry. I'm laughing just thinking about it.
