The statement saying that Alabama wasn't going to be hit was just the NWS being responsible, because hurricane forecasts can be life and death along with costing every level of government billions.  This latest one was put out to make their sensitive boss happy.

Epic has made me stop crowdfunding games,  I’ll just wait for this one when it hits Steam/gog.

The problem with masturbating to weird shit is that you fall down a slope of needing weirder shit. Stephen Miller started with just beefed up border patrol and deportations, then he moved on to kids in cages, now this is what he needs to get off.

It’s a good thing he’s wanting to move money from FEMA to the totally necessary border wall.

Smaller states who want the same representation as everyone else would disagree. I'm quite glad NY and California aren't choosing the president every election. 

It is much more fair that about 3 or 4 Midwest (and Florida) swing states pick the election instead.  In fact thanks to electoral math and fairness my vote in Ohio counts in a meaningful way and a person's vote in Texas, New York, California, Alabama and many other states have absolutely 0 impact on a Presidential election.  That's what you call fairness, not one person one vote.

Ok, while this is crazy, can we stop pretending that the statue of liberty and Lazarus' poem is somehow some kind of US policy. 

 

The whole idea that policy is at odds with a poem is ridiculous. And it's poem that really only became associated with the statue later. 

 

But yeah, otherwise, this policy is all kinds of fucked. 

The poem was written to raise money for the pedestal and 20 years later it was attached to it on the inside.  It’s not policy but it was put up to sort of go with the spirit of being a country of immigrants and the fact that the statue is one of the first things they’d see on the trip across the Atlantic.

So is his new thing going to be telling everyone what they polled at when they ran for President?

 

And seriously, imagine making yourself the victim. And the center of attention.

 

 

I like how John McAfee reacted to that last one with some kind of cryptocurrency scheme

This is like when Ben Shapiro said coastal flooding wouldn't be that big of a deal because people would sell their houses and move inland

By the time it gets to the Senate and news cycle will have moved on and Mitch won't even have to give a reason why he won't let it come to a vote.

Good thing I do all my drinking in Cincinnati, this couldn't possibly happen in Cincinnati... unless you work for 5/3rd bank, getting real tired of this shit

Ilhan won with 78% of the vote, why would they bother wasting resources running a "serious" candidate against her, assuming they could even find one willing to do it?  

I get that, but I feel like this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.  There isn't a township trustee or clerk of courts that wants to hang a thing on their wall where they ran for Congress or something?

Stella is accused of stealing 279 items valued at $2,327.97 from a Target store in Edina, to the south-west of Minneapolis, on 8 January this year. She was arrested for the alleged theft after security staff called the police.

How does that work?  Where do you keep 279 items?  What were the items to only average like $8 a piece?  All of this controversy surrounding Omar and the best they have is a nutcase with priors involving the theft of cat food and fleeing the police while drunk?

So is there like a serious one running and this is just the interesting stuff?

Any shrinking of consumer choice in a market this limited is bound to be bad. It's pretty laughable that a fourth option will be created to replace losing that forth option to a merger, when you could just not approve the merger in the first place. Maybe Dish can turn itself into a worthwhile competitor, but you know what is much more likely than that? The fourth option we already have. I don't see any reason that the new T-Mobile will do anything but become another AT&T/VZW, all following in each others footsteps whenever anyone comes up with a new way to screw consumers. 

When was the last time Sprint was an actual contender?  I think back around the time smart phones got their start in like 2009 or 2010, then they bet on wimax, t-mobile got competitive and they couldn't keep up.  I feel like there are probably more people using Sprint's network through a low cost MVNO than using actual Sprint.

What are the odds Pelosi gives them the go ahead?

Donate to the DNC? 

Fuck them, I donated to a local congressional race last year and I got on some mailing list, so now I get constant requests for money to fight Trump only to watch them furrow their brows on the news and then complain.  They can have some more money when they decide to be a proper opposition party.

And if they do end up violating posse comitatus you’ll get a statement of condemnation and the DNC will send a bunch of emails saying if you don’t give them $50 then you support this.  Mitt Romney will furrow his brow and Mitch McConnell will go deep in his shell for the news cycle.

So that damn near trillion dollar budget deficit during a peacetime following a bigly tax cut wasn't the responsible thing to do?

Crazy how much more coherent and lucid he was 10 years ago. His mental faculties have clearly started to fail him.

I think it’s a mixture of stress and age.  Before he headed up a property and resort company that he got from his father that mostly ran itself.  He had a reputation of being what poor people thought a successful business man was.  Now he has real responsibilities and can’t completely avoid the fact that a lot of people hate him and think he’s a simple moron and the people who admire him are hicks in the flyovers instead of the people he wants to look up to him.

Trump assembled a hell of a Dream team to lead his administration.

2,000 is a lot less than a million or whatever their original plan was

I'm not saying I necessarily have a better strategy for a place like Kentucky, but it seems like "get a veteran" is the entire extent of Dems strategy for races like this.

That's been their strategy for a lot of the 21st century, I don't think they've had a whole lot of success.

Thats where we are, America elected Donald Trump, you never know when people are going to need clarification that planes did in fact come after muzzle loaded rifles.
