  1. So, umm, are double-wides protected under the homestead exemption under Florida and Texas bankruptcy law? Because if so, I don't expect a whole lot of "recompense" coming from all of this.
  2. You know what doesn't burn, bitch? You need to get your ass a more robust symbol for your holiday.
  3. n I was told the right to bear arms "sHALl nOT bE InFRiNgeD!1!" What about little Ethan's FREEDUMS?!?!
  4. Not a huge fan of Kimmel, but this is pretty fucking hilarious ...
  5. This should be a bit disconcerting if you were one of the people who was saying, "There's no way the U.S. and China would go to war because they depend too much on one another for trade ..." Granted, this is apparently just for tech, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were making similar plans for grains, oil & gas and other top imports from the U.S.
  6. Just need a Cousin Eddie to step up for us this Christmas ...
  7. "No invader is innocent"? Sounds like one of Tucker's people.
  8. Do you even Anthroplex, bro???
  9. I mean, how could he have known that the acetone that he was using to clean that graffiti off the synagogue would be so dang flammable?
  10. Oh, hey, the Beth Israel synagogue fire was set by a right wing extremist after all ...
  11. More finding out by Alex Jones ... Unfortunately, no heart attack yet, but Alex is definitely the type of little bitch to eat a bullet when the reality starts to settle in, so hang in there.
  12. That's some Tugg Speedman level effort trying to get those tears out. I can't wait for him to go Simple Jack if things seem to be taking a turn against him ...
  13. Among the GQP base, I think if you just repeated his first name over and over again ("Mehmet, Mehmet, Mehmet. Did you know Mehmet is the Turkish form of the Arabic name Muhammed?"), you'd pretty quickly scuttle his campaign.
  14. There was an interesting tidbit in the story about the impact of OKC bombing on NRA membership: It really is amazing that the NRA is still around. Only in 'Murica.
  15. Secret tape reveals NRA leaders referring to supporters as "hillbillies" and "fruitcakes" in the wake of Columbine It's absolutely what you would expect from the leadership of the NRA, but of course it's not going to impact the views of the "hillbillies" and "fruitcakes" that vote however the NRA tells them to vote. That said, I would love more audio / video leaks of GQP leadership saying what they really think about the useful idiots comprising their single-issue voter bases (guns, 'bortion, immigrants!).
  16. Maybe branding wasn't the right term - it's more about messaging, and their inability to get out ahead of the GOP when they see them distorting positions (especially when it's a position of just a subset of their base). Granted, the GQP throws so much shit at the wall, it's difficult to figure out what is actually going to stick, and being too reactionary could make them look like Abbott chasing down every Huffines tweet. Still, it's not that hard to sense when the GQP propaganda machine is getting spun up. Unfortunately, the Dems just can't compete when it comes to messaging discipline.
  17. I did not expect a reasonable decision coming out of the Fifth Circuit, but fuck me runnin' ... Cops Arrested Her for Exercising Her First Amendment Rights. They Got Qualified Immunity—but the Appeals Court Wasn't Having It. - Reason.com It doesn't feel like the courts are going to be able to find a way to apply this doctrine sensibly and consistently, but it's nice when even the blind pigs of the Fifth Circuit can find an acorn ...
  18. Can't overstate it - the Democrats fucking suck at branding. "Defund the police," CRT, etc. - every time they coin a new phrase they end up shooting themselves in the dick.
  19. Aaaaaand she looks exactly like you would expect (assuming they made her take off her MAGA hat for booking) ...
  20. Fuck it - who am I kidding? The Democrats aren't going to find anyone better, so let's go!!! Third times a charm.
  21. Man, fuck that judge. I had heard about the "victim" thing, but I hadn't heard about everything else. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/29/are-men-kyle-rittenhouse-killed-victims-not-according-judge/ So to recap: People who get gunned down in the streets - can't be referred to as victims People who might have been involved in misconduct - can be referred to as "arsonists," "looters", "rioters" Video of shooter bro'ing it up with trigger happy cops - definitely probative evidence of what a great kid he was and that he had been welcomed by the authorities to "keep the peace" Video of shooter saying that he'd love to gun down shoplifters 15 days before actually gunning down protesters - irrelevant and inadmissible Evidence of shooter flying to Miami to meet with leader of white supremacist group and hanging out with members of group (months before driving to Wisconsin to gun down minority protesters) - irrelevant and inadmissible.
  22. I think Macanudo was responding to the assertion that "it hasn't looked ugly enough yet." His point is that it's pretty fucking ugly throughout the US right now (although maybe not in the NHL just yet).
