Trump triples down on his controversial tweets about ‘The Squad.’ Here’s what we know.
“Which one of you did it?” the hair asked as Donald and his hat wandered into the Oval Office.
“Did it? Did what?” the hat asked, giggling.
“The tweets, dammit,” the hair said. “The tweets about the Congresstwats.”
“Congresstwats? That’s, like, all of them. And the guys. You are going to have to narrow that down,” the hat said. Donald was giggling along with him.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about,” the hair said coldly.
“Ah, yes, The Intersectionality Caucus… so brave, so brown,” the hat said.
Donald sat down in his desk chair and sighed contentedly. “Nine sausage, egg and cheese McMuffins. A personal record,” he said, smacking his lips.
“You fucked it all up,” the hair said, stabbing an accusing tendril at the hat. “We had Pelosi and those dipshits at each other’s throats. They’ll rally together behind this.”
“The base was looking hungry,” the hat said and yawned somehow. “I threw them a little red meat. Only so many spic kids in detainment at the border to keep them all tingly in their underneathers.”
“Deterrent!” Donald yelped. “Go home and clean up your own shitholes! I’m thirsty!”
“Hit the Diet Coke button, Donald,” the hat said. “Go on, I rigged up something special for you.
Donald stabbed the big red button. A section of his desk opened and an ice-cold Diet Coke rose on a small platform. Small diamonds of condensation began to form immediately.
“Sparkly!” Donald squealed.
“Look up,” the hat told them. “I had them put little lights in the ceiling to get that effect.”
“You had them?” the hair asked.
“Presidential email. I got bored one time you asswipes left me behind,” the hat replied.
“It’s almost too beautiful to drink,” Donald said in a breathless whisper.
A thousand skinflutes played a thousand melodies to keep Him dreaming, and the dream slipped the veil between worlds and coalesced into words.
“We should, like, totally impeach him,” Sandy said, not looking up from her phone. “Those tweets are totally racccccccccccist.” Illy and Sheedy and Anna shuddered at the vocal fry Sandy managed on the last word.
“The impeachment process will be a difficult one,” Illy said quietly. “And I do not wish to come to this restaurant again. There’s is nothing a believer can eat. Pig is in everything.”
“And the chef is Jew,” Sheedy said, glowering at the kitchen.
Anna put down the rib bone she was gnawing on and said, “This is a very famous barbeque place. It was on an episode of House of Cards. Best ribs in the district.”
“There is no god but God,” Sheedy muttered and moved even further away from Anna’s plate.
“<Pig eater,>” Illy said under her breath in Arabic and touched her headdress reflexively.
“I love pork!” Sandy said. “I’m a Porko Rican!” She took another picture of her uneaten food and giggled.
“<What is donkey brain even talking about?>” Sheedy asked Illy.
“<I think they put pork in the water glasses,>” Illy said. “<Don’t drink it.>”
Dancers weave around Him, also part of the Dream and the Dreaming. His voice rings out.
“SELFIE!” Sandy screamed and pulled them all toward her. “Smile everybody!”
“<Her pendulous udders are touching me,>” Sheedy hissed as Sandy snapped dozens of pictures with her phone. The restaurant began to empty, angry customers grumbling.
“#SquadGoals!” Sandy screeched. “#Impeach45, #GirlPower, #BrownGirlMagic, #Resist. We, like, need our own Pride month!”
“#FreePalestine,” Sheedy said.
“Oh, poo, I already sent it,” Sandy told her.
“Then send it again,” Illy said coldly. “You are worse than my brother’s penis.” Sheedy barked out a few mean laughs until she saw that Illy wasn’t smiling.
“Squad, squad, squad,” Sandy sang. “We are The Squad!”
Blinded priests begin to sing to Him, and the Dream shifts.
“Unhand me, I say. Unhand me, woman!” a Southern voice came from the hallway.
“What the hell is going on out there?” the hair asked.
“The Queen of South Carolina is here to see you, Donald,” the hat said dryly.
“I demand to see the President!” the voice came again.
“Lindsey, my friend,” Donald called. “Let him in boys.”
Lindsey came into the Oval Office, straightening his suit and smoothing his hair. “I have never been treated so shabbily.”
“Lie,” the hat said, making the hair laugh.
“I don’t enjoy rasslin’s with your Secret Service boys, Donald,” Lindsey said, finally composed.
“Lie,” the hat said again.
“Oh, thop it,” the hair lisped.
“Ah am here-a to offer my service to you, Mistah President,” Lindsay said, his accent thickening like cold oatmeal.
“Service?” Donald asked.
“Protection, Don-hald. Ah will protect yew from the depredations of this Ferriner Squad of upstart women.”
“Upstart,” the hat echoed.
“One might even say ‘uppity,'” the hair commented.
“Ah shall use my delicious white body to protect yew, Donny,” Lindsey said, dropping into a defensive crouch. “Yew just point me at’em, an’ Ah’ll pull my trigger right at them!”
“He has to understand what he’s saying, right?” the hat asked the hair.
“Who fucking knows?” the hair replied.
“Use me, Don! Use me against those dark commie gashes! Use my white body! My white body is yours!”
“A resholushun,” Nancy said. “That ish the anshwer!”
“A resolution, a condemnation of his shameful concoction of racist tropitudation!” Chuck chortled.
“Impeach!” Sandy said from her storage crate. “I was a bartender! I have an economics degree from BOSTON University!” Nancy kicked her crate.
“I’ll never go back to Puerto Rico! It’s a shithole!” the freshman congresswoman screamed. “Dead bodies are everywhere! There was a hurricane! The governor says mean things! #hashtag!”
“Call him a Jew,” Illy hissed. “There’s nothing worse.”
Chuck let out an embarrassed cough, making his droopy moob-meat quiver.
“A resolution?” the hat said. “They passed a resolution?”
“My how we have been lightly wrist-slapped,” the hair said.
Donald wondered what they were laughing about as he struggled to put on a new roll of toilet paper in the grand confines of his lavish Presidential Shitter.
Hard to pick a fave, but “The Queen of South Carolina” might just be it.
Agreed, I was thinking it was going to be the previous governor (Haley) but then bamn! surprise.
I was going to say the same. That whole bit was a diamond in a pile of gems.
“my brother’s penis”

Have I mentioned I like Stossel?
I enjoyed the insight into the Broad Squad planning session.
Why is it that a package slated for delivery on Thursday arrives at the local distribution center on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the delivery date is moved back to Friday? It’s almost as irritating as listening to Sandy recite from the press release Chakrabarti wrote for her that morning.
“”
Ewwww.
Well- that was different. I blame the brackets. S’posed to be thisaway.
“Her pendulous udders are touching me,”
Ewwww.
Brooksed your own comment. Delightfully meta.
Nooice!
Fantastic! Laughing like an idiot at my desk.
“Impeach!” Sandy said from her storage crate. “I was a bartender! I have an economics degree from BOSTON University!” Nancy kicked her crate.
Perfect!
Illy and Sheedy are ready to stab Sandy in the back at a moments notice. I’m awaiting that moment.
I’m sure they aren’t happy with her being the It Girl. But I suspect if she gets her anti-semite on, they will put up with it.
Because those two are genuine Drive the Jews into the Sea anti-semites.

Semi-OT:
AOC Draws a Challenger — a Black, Female, Jamaican, Republican Challenger
*cue dramatic music*
“Republican”
No chance. Sandy loses her seat in the primary, or not at all.
What did she get 16,000 or 32,000 votes last time? It wouldn’t take much of an ABC* vote to oust that.
*Anybody But Cortez
Something like 17,000 in the primary, I think. Like, single-digit turnout.
But Dean is right. Only another Democrat has a chance.
Maybe. I’m not so sure. I’m pretty sure she will have a primary challenge. And if she manages to win that (by no means a foregone conclusion), I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the NY machine quietly put out the message, “We wouldn’t really be terribly upset if you cast a ballot for a Republican this one time.”. She’s made herself a lot of enemies. Particularly, among those ostensibly on her side. I suspect a lot of NY Democrats wouldn’t be wildly disappointed to see her go back to bartending.
Sandy going back to bartending
I actually liked that movie.
It would be hilarious if Cortez managed to cost the Dems such a rediculously safe seat.
Fox News reports that Scherie Murray, a 38-year-old New York businesswoman and Jamaica native (she emigrated as a child), has launched a campaign to unseat AOC next year. She told Fox, “There is a crisis in Queens, and it’s called AOC.” Murray went on to say, “Instead of focusing on us, she’s focusing on being famous. Mainly rolling back progress and authoring the job-killing Green New Deal and killing the Amazon-New York deal.”
Omg omg omg. This campaign is going to be epic. *grabs popcorn*
Also, would.
You would think this would be some type of intersectionality battle. But you’d be wrong. “Republican” erases all of that. She might as well be Mitt Romney.
Mittens!!!!!!!
You’ll never hear about what she actually believes because the most important thing is that she is a racist race-traitor.
We laugh, but as sure as the sun rises in the east this is going to happen.
Can’t let the people forget how the Republicans fought to keep their slaves in the Civil War.
From the sidebar
“I am an American and I refuse to have to defend that to anybody, but the idea that a president could be in the White House and undermine the Constitution and the basic values of this country is abhorrent.”
Now do guns, speech, taxes, etc.
“I think the president’s attacks are actually distancing the majority of Americans from him. I think the majority of Americans believe immigrants are important to this country. They remember their own immigrant heritage and I don’t think it ever emboldens people to be racist but I think what it does is it pulls people toward justice and I think that’s what we’re doing.”
Actually, by my observation, many/most people agree, rightly or wrongly, with “if you don’t like it feel free to leave it” sentiment.
Murray’s advertisement was excellent.
She would destroy AOC in a debate.
Which is why there will never be one.
I expect the dramatic music to be the Star Trek fight music.
Captain Twerk v. The Jamaican Lizard
*cue dramatic music*
Theme from Jaws?
Murray went on to say, “Instead of focusing on us, she’s focusing on being famous. Mainly rolling back progress and authoring the job-killing Green New Deal and killing the Amazon-New York deal.”
I have seen a couple of things about Gulag Barbie’s less-than-stellar constituent service.
It’s almost as if she has no real notion of what the job she applied for actually entails.
She was promised fawning media coverage and boy. And no math.
Dean is right. Only another Democrat has a chance.
Will what’shisname come back and primary her? Maybe not treat it as hid God given birthright, this time?
“Let him in boys.”
Punctuation error, but somehow appropriate.
And who said Trump hates teh gays
““I love pork!” Sandy said. “I’m a Porko Rican!” She took another picture of her uneaten food and giggled.”
I thought this was supposed to be a work of fiction, a parody.

Bacon fat, apparently.
From reading the link he wanted to be an electronics technician for BNSF railway. I’m assuming this sort of position would be out in the field and on the tracks. Them not offering him the job was probably the right call for him and the company as there would be a good chance he would be for real disabled when his back or knees got blown out.
Seems like they were willing to work with him even if his BMI was but was still physically fit.
Enemy of the people.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tape-shows-donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein-discussing-women-1992-party-n1030686
I’m no Trumpista; I think he’s done some good and done some bad. Aside from the tweeting, he’s really pretty milquetoast. But how anyone can’t see that the MSM is a Team Blue organ is beyond me. There are several very high profile Democrats implicated by Epstein, yet they persist in trying desperately to tie him to Trump. Oh shit they went to the same party! Oh shit they talked about women! THE HORROR!
Pathetic.
“Pay no attention to Bubba’s Twenty trips to orgy island!”
Four, and they were on foundation business and he had security details the entire time, no kiddie diddling involved.
Pinky swear?
It’s documented.
…that month.
I was gonna say, he road on the plane. Wasn’t sure he had been to the island
https://www.foxnews.com/us/flight-logs-show-bill-clinton-flew-on-sex-offenders-jet-much-more-than-previously-known
None of that is proof that he actually raped any young girls, but it’s a lot more substantive than making small talk at a party.
Yet it’s ignored by everyone except for Fox.
Experience has taught me that most of the time things just are what they look like.
Bill Clinton repeatedly going to a place known as ‘orgy island’ where the owner has been convicted of sex with underage girls.
Not rocket science.
,but logs do not show Clinton aboard any flights to St. Thomas, the nearest airport capable of accommodating Epstein’s plane.
He was never on the island.
Wait…. I thought you said he’d been four times on Clinton foundation business. Or was that something else
Or was that something else
That was whore Island.
I thought so until I read the Fox news article apparently there are no logs of him on the island, I was wrong, it has happened once before. I’ll try and do better.
No worries, I was clarifying cause I hadn’t seen anything saying he’d been to the islandand wanted to clear up my confusion
Clinton Foundation business? IOW, being the bagman?
Many people went to the island by yacht I have read.
Shit…yeah, you know, uh, me and the driver. I’m not uh, handling the money and driving the car and talking on the phone all by my fucking–
*facepalm*
Uh huh.
They’re trying so hard to sell us on Trump being Epstein’s friend.
LOL, they’ve got him now!
Hasn’t Epstein been a major fundraiser for the Democratic party? That gets memory holed, but let’s go all the way back to 1992 to show two people making small talk at a party.
Everyone knows Donald is a horndog. But he has yet to be credibly accused of sexual harassment/rape*.
*It’s almost like girls like to get with rich guys.
So that’s what I’ve been doing wrong.
[Gene Wood whisper]
The password is, “groupie”.
[/Gene Wood whisper]
Meh…see FOX…the “other” 50% of the media.
Was. They’re being skinsuited into a useful tool of Team Blue. The Washington Generals when they’re needed or a helpful fifth column.
“There are several very high profile Democrats implicated by Epstein”
And the main one is a Clinton. Shocking I tell you.
The media have jumped the fucking shark. A couple of days ago, the New Yorker put out an article calling everyone who has ever supported Trump, a racist. A major fucking publication just called half or more of the voters in the entire country, racist. Ponder that fucking shit.
And I’ll just add this. That ‘racist’ tweet from the Orangebadman was 100% intentional, knowing the pants shitting storm it would cause. They are so damn predictable, you can just throw then a bone and they’ll dig themselves a bigger hole. Trump knows damn good and well that it will not cost him a damn thing and just bought him more rent free space in their retarded heads.
I’ve thought about that. I’m not 100% sure you’re wrong about that. Really, the “lost the popular vote” thing The Hyperbole brings up ultimately fits with that. Donald Trump isn’t wildly popular. What’s even less popular is the far left wing of the Democratic party. As much as possible Trump should want to make this a fight between himself and the Squid. In that race, he’ll win. Every last time.
A fight between Nancy Pelosi and the Squid this early doesn’t really get him where he needs to go. The Democrats exorcising the lunatics from their midst, especially this early on, gives them the ability to make the election a vote of confidence on Donald Trump.
“The Democrats exorcising the lunatics from their midst”
It’s not possible. There’s no way back for them now. Every last one of them have bought in to the lunacy 100%. The lunatics ARE the democrat party now.
True. But, there are lunatics and there are LUNATICS. The recent catfight between Pelosi and Gulag Barbie was their opportunity to do it. The Squid were lining themselves up against Pelosi. And the Congressional Black Caucus. And the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. They had a very good opportunity to squash them like bugs. Trump’s tweets got them to line up behind the Squid. It’s going to be a lot harder to separate them, going forward.
He lost the popular vote , so less than half of the voters, and not everyone who voted ‘for’ Trump actually supports him, so less than that, ~30%, that sounds about right.
“He lost the popular vote , so less than half of the voters, and not everyone who voted ‘for’ Trump actually supports him, so less than that, ~30%, that sounds about right.”
I knew you were going to say that. No, really.
He is rather tedious.
Trump: 62,979,636 (46.1%), according to a site on the intertoobz.
Let’s assume that’s accurate, or close.
So if the New Yorker call 62 million people, none of whom they know personally or have ever met, racists, that’s not as bad somehow, because reasons…
They have identified at least 1mm “excess” registered voters in CA, and that’s just voter registrations that exceed the number of potential voters in various counties. I think its (highly?) likely, but by no means certain, that Hillary actually didn’t get more legal votes than Trump.
I think its (highly?) likely, but by no means certain, that Hillary actually
didn’t getgot more legal votes than Trump.Do people remember whether in the ’90s the point that Clinton won the presidency (twice!) with much less than 50% of the vote was made as frequently?
I don’t remember hearing that at all, but then again, I didn’t pay as much attention to politics back then as I do now.
It was much closer to 50% in 1996 (49.2) than in 1992 (43%).
None of this matters; <50% of the eligible public votes, so even if someone got 100% of the popular vote, they still wouldn't have majority support.
kinnath on Facebook:
The presidential election is FIFTY fucking state elections. The national vote is completely fucking irrelevant to the outcome. Change the constitution if you don’t like it.
I’m interested in the history of the media talking points–regardless of whether they are appropriate. I didn’t live in the U.S. in the ’90s.
and not everyone who voted ‘for’ Trump actually supports him
How many of those who don’t “actually support” him would consider this latest accusation of racism to be anything but a strong affirmation of the reasons they voted for him in the first place? I’m guessing less than 20% of that group have anything but growing contempt for the left and for the MSM due to this incident.
Of course, we’re all ignoring the point that nobody will remember this by October, let alone next year.
Even the left will have moved on to their next outrage event by tomorrow.
‘For’ is in scare quotes for a reason, many people voted for Trump but do not consider attacks against as personal attacks on themselves, because they don’t support him they just couldn’t vote for her. I’d say only about 30% of voting public (so that’s what? 15% total) are racists, that seems about right.
You really think 1 out of 6 people in the country are racists?
Based on my experience yes, not the “I could go for a good old fashion lynching” type racist but the “Goddamn it, my daughters dating a (insert pejorative of your choice here), hope she doesn’t get knocked up” type.
I think anyone who supports affirmative action or votes for politicians who support affirmative action is a racist. It’s more than 1 out of 6.
Using grizz’s definition, I’d agree. However, I’ve found that a large portion of AA supporters are just not all that bright and/or haven’t actually thought through the ramifications on a practical level. They just see disparate impact and go into “fix it” mode.
You really think 1 out of 6 people in the country are racists?
Oh, sure. I think conservative white people are under-represented in that number, though. Like grrizzly, I count anyone who wants the government to give special treatment to some races as a racist.
trshy, I don’t think being stupid is any impediment to being a racist.
@grizzly, yes but those racists don’t vote for Trump. So shifting the point.
@hyperbole that’s where it is a motte and Bailey. Outlets like the new Yorker want you to think A when they say racist, not B. Because B is really just prejudicial.
I don’t think being stupid is any impediment to being a racist.
LOL, me either. However, most of the people I’ve met that are pro AA aren’t really racist in intention, they’re just not smart/intellectually inquisitive enough to connect the dots between AA and the dictionary definition of racism. They simply haven’t fired enough neurons on the topic to make it over my hurdle of “actually racist”
Most people are “bigoted” in some shape or form. Racism implies a willingness to employ action against others.
Ask Koreans or blacks what they think of each other some time.
They’re sheep. Like most people are. They’re unwilling to challenge the status quo either out of comfort or fear.
“Ask Koreans or blacks what they think of each other some time.”
One Korean guy I know told me that Koreans are the most racist people on earth, they even hate other Koreans who live in a different region.
They’re sheep. Like most people are.
I will point out, as a counterexample, that a lot of this intersectional crap sits on the “actually racist” side of the fence. “Blacks are suffering from harms of the past and should therefore be given a helping hand” hides the racism much better than “Whites are privileged and oppress blacks simply by existing”
It does count as racist.
People live in denial of this because they fear the mob. Much like true racist Southerners would have told you that they kept blacks subdued for their own good, they believe their own bullshit partly out of fear of what their peers may say.
I’m with Leon on this. Most people harbor some kind of prejudice, which at its root simply means to pre-judge. It’s stereotyping, plain and simple. Now, that prejudice can be rather benign or it can be somewhat malignant, but there’s a gap between prejudice and racist. Racists stereotype as well, but their stereotypes are the foundation for their belief in the inferiority of others.
More than 1 in 6 people are Democrats, so yes.
Trashy, I was worried for a bit there. I thought when you said “AA” that you were talking about African Americans. Then I figure out you meant Affirmative Action.
I thought when you said “AA” that you were talking about African Americans.
Pfft. There are no African Americans. Only Black Bodies.
voted for Trump but do not consider attacks against as personal attacks on themselves, because they don’t support him they just couldn’t vote for her.
Most of those people (myself included) stayed at home. I think you’re underestimating the number of people who may not care much about Trump, but think that this constant jump to epithet is a bad look for the MSM.
I still think most people, especially in the coveted “undecided middle” vote against someone more than they vote for someone.
So the question is, are the endless attacks on Trump and Trump voters as a racist, etc., going to increase the motivation of the Dem base to turn out and/or convince the undecided middle to vote against Trump?
Or are they going to increase the motivation of the Repub base, etc.?
I know what my bias is on this – I think the Dem base has been maxed out since the day after HIllary lost, I think the relentless assaults on Trump and themselves have stiffened the lukewarm Repub support for Trump, and I don’t think many people in the middle are really appreciating all the heightened racialist rhetoric.
I don’t think many people in the middle are really appreciating all the heightened racialist rhetoric
As in they don’t like it or as in they don’t notice it?
Personally, I think it’s a mix of both.
I’d say that to the new Yorker, voting for Trump makes you a supporter.
That’s a reasonable assumption, but believing 62 million people are racist is fucking insane by any standards I can think of. Even saying something like that, unless it’s a joke, makes someone a shitty human being.
I don’t think voting is even a necessary condition. Hyp said “everyone who has ever supported Trump”. It sounds like the New Yorker would classify anyone who was disgusted at the way the Dems and Media treated Kavanaugh within that cohort. Or doubted the veracity of Stormy Daniels. Or thought Antifa were also part of the bad actor group at Cville.
“Or doubted the veracity of Stormy Daniels”
I never doubted horseface, just thought calling a payoff a camping contribution ridiculous.

Dogs are racist. It is known
Dogs love all people. Cats are racist.
“Cats are racist.”
But mostly against dogs.
No, no, no guys. The dogs aren’t racist. YOU’RE racist because you own a pet.
And because you’re a white cismale shitlord.
And you post on this site.
We only buy AKC registered puppies from responsible breeders.
We are breedists.
All of these people are completely retarded. The hole they’ve dug themselves isn’t deep enough, toss them down another shovel, maybe a few sticks of dynamite.
Lit off first….
Show me the dog that can maintain my house and garden, and we can start to discuss things. Dogs make terrible slaves.
I’m pretty sure the one being waited on hand and foot isn’t the slave.
Does that girl own a mirror?
I am wondering why anyone notices this kind of stuff anymore. There has been so much insanity from the left for so long I figured by now everyone would be numb to it and just ignore them.
“There are the same number of stupid people as there always has been, they just all have megaphones now.”
So much this. If not for the internets, they’d all just be the girl who never got invited to the prom and went on to become another cat lady living alone beside her 80 cats.
Except dogs were popular in medieval Europe, when there weren’t slaves, at least in the sense she’s using the term. And in the Middle East, which has a much longer and deeper history with slavery than just about anywhere else, dogs are very unpopular. And, oh yeah, lots of black people like dogs, too.
Sometimes your ideas are unpopular because they reveal you as the reason they put directions on a bottle of shampoo.
I’m thinking that any tweet that starts with “Unpopular opinion:” should, most of the time, just read “Deeply stupid opinion:”.
OT vacations never go as expected. It has rained all day here. Who’d of thunk it. Rain. In Scotland of all places

Pick up a Mackintosh and some Wellingtons. And a Bumpershoot.
I noticed on my visit that they pay no attention whatsoever to the weather. Pouring down rain, freezing ass cold and everyone is out walking around like nothing is happening. I don’t even remember seeing any umbrellas.
First time I went to Fairbanks I was driving around the University. It was December and they were having a “heat wave” in which it had warmed up from -40 to 0. I saw a kid out in shorts and flip-flops.
When I lived in the Midwest, it was common to see people out walking around in shorts and t-shirts any time it was above 40F. When I first moved to MD, I found it bizarre that people would be all bundled up in winter parkas when it was 40-45 out. I don’t even own a winter coat here, don’t need it. I have a couple of lined jackets, but not anything that would be considered a winter coat in colder climes.
You’re doing it wrong. You’re not supposed to go outside in Scotland, or the UK in general, you’re supposed to be in a bar getting shitface at noon on pints of warm beer.

People’s idea of what is attractive varies by culture and changes over time. News at 11.
Yep, a whole lot of speculation and handwringing. And this was precious:
Bull. Shit.
1977, bitches.
Yep, total bullshit. I remember Arnold and some of those other body builders being very popular in the 70s. Jagger and Bowie were popular because they were famous rock stars, not because they were skinny.
There have been numerous cross-cultural studies showing that what is considered attractive for both males and females are pretty universal. There are some variations on the theme but it can be summed up as:
1) Men are expected to have a V-shaped shoulders and torso, good symmetry and height.
2) Women are expected to have waist-to-hips ratio close to 0.7 and moderately sized breasts.
There are extremes, but these are programmed into us evolutionarily.
Q is the outlier.
And proud of it.
2) Women are expected to have waist-to-hips ratio close to 0.7 and moderately sized breasts.
Shape is more important than size.
Agreed.
Tundra sounds angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
Loved that show.
In the 70s, we saw very slim, almost androgynous men,
Not very many on the street. You wanna see skinny androgynous men today, just go to the nearest college campus. You’ll see hundreds.
Truth that.
Ummmm…. Look at all the old (40’s-60’s) films. the men are thin. Not androgenous, but thin
No question. But campuses today are infested with feminized/androgynous men. My take is that growing up in schools where males are relentlessly relegated to second class status, and in a society that is increasingly contemptuous-to-hostile to men has beaten them down.
I get to visit a couple of them a few times a month because of clients. The women are more masculine than 90% of the guys. You see one masculine guy, he will be surrounded by a harem of young attractive women, while the manginas hang off in the shadows looking terrified of anything that moves. Yeah, women want guys to not be masculine, LOL.

U.S. NEWS Video shows SUV driver leaving car wash, plunging car accidentally into New Jersey river
That reminds me of a video collection from Brazil my wife shared with me soon after we first met, ‘Mulheress ao Volante’, or something like that. Funny as hell stuff, that video would fit perfectly in that series.
An x gf (thank god for the x part) backed into my garage door twice because of not waiting for the door to go up far enough to clear it. The 2nd time caused me to have to install another bottom panel on the door. Then she ran over the transformer in my yard beside of the drive way, wonder it didn’t electrocute her, but the power company had to come out and replace it. What a fucking dingbat of a twat.
She was either texting, tending to a rugrat in the back seat or arguing with her husband.
A 64-year-old driver of an SUV mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake . .
Not uncommon in old drivers.
So, when she hit the gas by accident, she just kept pushing on it until hitting a large body of water? Makes sense.
You think you have your foot on the brake. You panic. You push harder. The vehicle goes faster. You panic. You push harder.
Some old geezer killed a bunch of people in Florida doing that some time ago.
I put a hole in my parents garage that way…
Maybe she should learn the valuable lesson of not trying to use both feet to operate a motor vehicle?
You are missing the real issue. The issue is when is someone too old to drive safely.
The problem is that cognitive disabilities start in different people at radically different ages. My father is 83, still runs a business, and it fully capable of driving anywhere.
Other people have problems starting in the early 60s.
My guess is that this driver is has some level of disability already — enough to allow confusion on which pedal the right foot is on.
“…use both feet to operate a motor vehicle”
I had a boss that drove like that. It was horrible!
I’d volunteer to drive just so I wouldn’t get motion sickness.
“You are missing the real issue. The issue is when is someone too old to drive safely.”
When is someone too stupid to drive safely? That can apparently start at a very early age and continue for life.
One of my neighbors had her car in drive when she meant to back out of her garage. She blew a hole through the wall into her bedroom.
Then she panicked, put it in reverse, and shot out of the garage, down the driveway, and finally off the driveway and into a wash.
My wife complains that when things get “exciting” I tend to slow down.
I always tell her that it’s at those times that I can least afford to make a mistake, so I consciously slow down to make certain I’m taking the correct action. If you see me running, you should probably run to.
Yup.
Almost put my wife’s car through the garage door. I didn’t want to adjust the seat to move it up the driveway so I was stretching to reach the accelerator and brake.
Was barely moving and went to gently apply the brake, but instead was hitting the accelerator. As the car went faster I began to push harder.
Fortunately the speed was low and I quickly realized the problem.
absolutely did
Saab showed this decades ago
“I was standing on the brake and the engine just drug me away” they all say, and it’s basically impossible with an IC engine and today’s brakes.
brake lights never came on in that video, driver hit the gas and doubled down on the way into the drink.
Gladwell did a revisionist history podcast on the unintended acceleration craze. His team got cars and would bring them up to highway speed, press brakes while still pressing gas pedal. The car stopped very uneventfully.
Audi did the same thing after the Audi 5000 debacle. Took the car up to some relatively high speed, floored the car and the brake at the point.
I believe the car stopped only something like 30 feet longer than if you properly used the brake.
My wife did it once when she was 24. In her defense, she is Japanese.*
She missed a curve because of it. Luckily it was an empty field.
* She is actually a really good driver, she had the flu at the time.
Did she learn to drive in the US or Japan?
Similar to Europe and unlike the US, Japan actually makes you work a bit for a license.
She learned in Japan.
She was proud of the fact she has a license for a manual transmission, but I make fun of her because even with that license, she can’t manage my truck’s 5 speed.
I’m sure it’s because it is a crude “American” truck.
Although my Jeep had a Daimler transmission from their days when they were together.
Not sure who makes most of the manuals for US trucks – maybe Tremec?
“she can’t manage my truck’s 5 speed”
Euphemism?
“My wife … is Japanese.”
There seem to be a lot of Glibs

Finally some good news concerning Iran:

Rand’s going to talk with the mullahs.

Dammit. Gilmore’d.
Sen. Rand Paul — the outspoken anti-interventionist Libertarian Republican from Kentucky — has been handpicked by President Trump as his emissary to mediate with Iran after the Kentucky senator proposed the idea.
Generalissimo Warstache haz a sad.
There should be a hat and hair episode about it.
Waste of time.
You seriously don’t think Aqua Buddha can have a little chat with the mullahs and convince them to stop hating the Jews?
I think no matter what comes out of their mouths it will be a lie. There is only one thing they understand. They see your willingness to negotiate as a weakness and an opportunity to take advantage. The only way anything good is going to happen in Iran is for the mullahs to go. Rand can talk until his jaw falls off, it will make no difference.
Rarely discussed on this issue is that the vast majority of the Iranian people have a boot on their necks. They suffer every day those fucking pigs run that country. For me it isn’t about the mullahs. I would just as soon shoot a missile up their sorry asses and be done with it.
Yep. The mullahs learned a lot from Mao. If you want a revolution, just use college kids, they’re too damn stupid to know any better. Then when they figure out they got the wool pulled over their eyes, it’s too late. The American left would like to use that playbook here. No wonder they love the hijab twat, the mullahs and our lefties have a lot in common.
Stepping back from the brink is a good thing and talking is the first step. Maybe it goes somewhere, maybe it doesn’t, but the Iranians are rational actors that respond to incentives like other human beings.
They aren’t going to back up from the brink. They aren’t going to do it. They are determined to get a bomb to use to extort money. They watched the Norks get away with it for years while our feckless, incompetent leaders let them.
Making nice with the mullahs is like libertarians making nice with the left. It’s worse than a waste of time. It’s dangerous. There are irreconcilable differences.
“There are irreconcilable differences.”
If expectations are kept to reasonable limits there’s no such thing. Trading a lifting of sanctions for a nuclear inspections regime benefits everyone.
I’ll concede that you have a point. I mean, I can see dealing with the left knowing what they are, to try to get things we want, like legal weed at the national level and real prison reform. You know they are not dealing in good faith and only want any of that for all the wrong reasons, but you do it anyway because diplomacy in cases like this sometimes gets you what you want. But at the same time, you wouldn’t make any deals with the left on gun control, because you aren’t getting anything you want and only giving it away.
If expectations are kept to reasonable limits there’s no such thing.
Don’t forget “good faith” and “compliance”. Frankly, I don’t think the mullahs have any intention to negotiate in good faith or comply with whatever deal may be cut.
Waste. Of. Time.
But, since the current sanctions regime seems to be working reasonably well in damaging the Iranian economy, maybe time is on our side?
Yeah, well, the Iranians are actually Persians. The mullahs who have taken control of the country are Muslims who have an irrational hatred of Israel and think America is the great Satan. They are anything but rational.
They weren’t acting out when the deal was in place and are acting out now that the deal’s been pulled out from under them. I’d say they’re responding to incentives in a predictable fashion. As for the irrational Jew hatred stuff, we deal with plenty of Mideast countries that have that affliction just as bad as the Iranians.
Well, sure, you deliver boatloads of dollars to them, they’ll be quiet while they use those dollars to plot against you.
But for some reason, that doesn’t sound good to me.
Stepping back from the brink is a good thing and talking is the first step.
Unless, of course, your adversary is negotiating in bad faith to buy time to prepare their next move.
I think he’s sending Paul so he can say “Look, I sent the peacenik guy I could think of, and even then, no deal.”
He’s Paul. He’ll talk them into peace. In fact, they’ll be a libertarian paradise by next Spring.
So…a Persian Spring.
“So…a Persian Spring.”
Is that you, CNN?
Trump should send one of…. how about both of the hijab twats in and make a pre-deal with the Iranians that if they throw them both down a well, we can make peace.

Genius. Make the poor smokers suck down more carcinogens to get their nicotine fix. What could go wrong?
Also, the beneficiaries in government and advocacy groups that make bank off of tobacco.
More obvious proof that it’s not about “health”, it’s about appearance and culture.
Attacking a product that’s inarguably much less dangerous than its most popular alternative. Way to go fedgov.
With the lefties, it’s never about safely, it’s about control. As soon as they’ve managed to ban one thing, it will just be on to something else. Smoking, then vaping, next up chewing gum.

My damn PC has rebooted itself 3 times today. The MB is going bad. I guess I will be upgrading sooner than later. I’ve got these two items in my Amazon cart:
Intel Core i9-9820X X-Series Processor 10 Cores up to 4.1GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA2066 X299 Series
ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Omega X299-II Gaming Motherboard LGA2066 (Intel 9th Gen X-Series) EATX DDR4 M.2 U.2 10G LAN USB 3.1 Gen2
Going to need new RAM as well. Better be ordering this stuff soon before my old ASUS ROG Rampage goes belly up.
Are you sure it is the MB and not the power supply?
As the PS fails you can get all kinds of ripple and low voltage.
Yes, I’m 100% sure it’s the MB. It’s 5 years old anyway and the CPU is bottle necking my GPU. I just may as well go ahead and do it, because even if I can fix the board, it’s not worth it.
I’m not stopping you, but a bum PS can be maddening.
I upgraded from an old Intel to a new AMD system and my old spec, but quite high quality an expensive PS didn’t like the low 5V loading of a modern MB and would briefly shut down.
Problem was it didn’t do it under load it did it when the PC was lightly loaded. Took me 2 weeks of tinkering and Google to figure out.
I have 3 power supplies sitting around that will power my rig and I’ve tried all of them. The new one is 1000w and the two others are 600 and 800. There’s a short in the board where the power supply plugs in. But it’s gotten worse and now I’m getting these several times a day reboots. I think all of the shorts are frying out the board. I’m no expert on voltages, but I’m sure it’s the board.
I don’t know computers
a short would burn something up, wouldn’t it?
my guess is an intermittent “open”
OK, I guess you are right, I don’t know. It’s just that the connection is fucked up so that if you jiggle it, it will work, for a while, until it happens again. That was the case for a long time, but now it just randomly reboots.
That’s ok for a noob I guess.
This guy games.
OK, show us your specs, maestro. 4 way SLI with Titan RTX 24Gs and the 16 core i9, right?
I think my Gigabyte MB and lowly quad-core Intel cpu must be coming up on 10 years old by now. Just haven’t found a compelling reason to upgrade, and I’m a fairly hard-core gamer.
I’m trying to talk myself into a PCIE SSD as being a compelling reason to upgrade the whole rig, but it’s a hard sell.
I’m running on a ~5 year old platform, and I’m just planning on updating to pass along a decent gaming machine down to my nephews for Christmas this year.
I’m using the old i7 3820 4 core CPU. It’s probably 8 years old instead of 5, but doesn’t seem that long. Anyway, time to replace.
Just buy an SSD already if you don’t have one. I’ll never buy another mechanical drive. I have 2 1TB SSDs now and will go with a new M.2 when I upgrade for my boot drive. Even now with my old CPU, it takes like 4-5 seconds to boot.
I converted to SATA SSD’s long ago — I bought in when an Intel 80GB SSD was $300, and worth every penny. I was still using that 80GB as a boot drive on my media PC until about 12 months ago, which is funny considering the paranoia back in the day around maximum number of writes being an issue.
The new PCIE SSD’s are allegedly about 5x faster than SATA SSD’s (not that I have researched them deeply, I have not).
I have a co-worker who bought one of the new Samsung M.2 drives. They aren’t cheap at around $320 for 1TB, but he said it’s insanely fast.
Oh yeah, that’s what I’m talkin about (*homer simpson gurgle sound*)
“Just haven’t found a compelling reason to upgrade, and I’m a fairly hard-core gamer.”
Graphics is the reason why. I’m using a 34″ 3440×1440 Gsync monitor. With my now ancient 1080ti, I can run any game at the highest settings, but I suspect that with a new CPU, I can get a little higher FPS.
I bought a used 1070 off ebay when the 2070/2080 launch turned out to be a disappointment. My screen resolution is lower than yours (2560) but frame rates are more than acceptable on the stuff I play. I’m not a frame-rate junkie, I don’t really notice unless it drops much below 60.
I can imagine that higher resolution screen you’ve got being much more demanding.
For me, the difference between 100 FPS and 60 FPS is huge, I mean YUGE. Seriously, if you play action RPGs, especially if you use ranged weaponry, guns especially, it is really a big fucking deal. I actually notice the difference once it gets to 80-90 FPS. After 100 FPS or so, the difference is quite small again and after 120 FPS, I don’t notice any difference.
Also, every game on this monitor is gorgeous in comparison to my old monitor, which was a 1920×1080 TN panel. This one is IPS and like I said, everything looks better on it. Assassins Creed Odyssey and Metro Exodus are just something you have to see on this monitor to believe.
I’m deeply disappointed in social media snarkservatives right now. It’s been at least 48 hours and I’ve yet to see any really clever perversions of “the squad” nickname. Come on you lazy fucks, do your damn jobs already.
I’ll get my monkeys working on it.
