A preview of the Aussie final
David Thiem will get to play Djoker in the Aussie Final after quickly dispatching Zverev in straight sets. I can’t see his slowing down the mad Russian, but that’s just me. The Super Bowl is this weekend, for those go you who care about that sort of thing (like me). I have no rooting interest other than Joey Bosa playing well, but I think the Chefs will be just a bit too much for the 49ers and will win a close, entertaining game. Score prediction: Chefs 34-31.
Montreal, Nashville, And L.A. were your hockey winners last night. And at the Waste Management Open in Phoenix, which is one of the most entertaining events of the year, some dude named Wyndham Clark fired a 61 to beat darkness and the field in the first round to take a 2-stroke lead after the first round.
Ryan delivering a heater
Austrian composer Franz Schubert was born on this day. So were football HOFer Don Hutson, heavyweight champ Jersey Joe Walcott, baseball color-barrier breaker Jackie Robinson, novelist Norman Mailer, con artist Lorraine Warren, “Mr Cub” Ernie Banks, possibly the best pitcher of all time (and raiser of quality Angus beef available at H-E-B and other fine stores) Nolan Ryan, Sex Pistols frontman Jon Lydon, NOFX’s Fat Mike, and singer-songwriter-actor-seemingly good guy Justin Timberlake.
OK, on to…the links!
Senator Lamar Alexander said he will vote against having more witnesses at the Senate trial than the Dems showed up with. So this fiasco will probably be over before the weekend is up. Even with Collins and Romney bowing to the Dem pressure to let them litigate with more information than the case they brought to trial and without wanting the defense to call witnesses they deem essential to their own case.
“Greedy capitalist” giving away $14m
“It’s not about the $14 million”, say assholes who don’t recognize the donation for what it is. Nope, they think it’s insulting that someone give a large sum of money because he should have given more. Although I don’t see any of their pockets getting lighter to fight the coronavirus.
Looks like Dallas PD has a racism problem. And it also looks like they’re dealing with it, unlike a place like Chicago, where they’s just ignore it. Well, not “ignore”, per se. They’s continue to just pay the settlements out of taxpayer money rather than investigate and discipline or get rid of the bad apples.
That’s what I call “social justice”
These Bernie Sanders supporters are jumping the gun a bit on getting their “fair share”. They need to slow their roll and wait on state agents to do this on their behalf.
So they put Hakim Jeffries on the House impeachment team, which raised a few eyebrows. And now they’re probably wishing they hadn’t done so. I guess some foreign interference (you know, the real kind rather than the made-up and/or supposed kind) is more equal than others. And that wasn’t even the funniest thing that happened during the trial.
Let’s see who California Dems blame now. I mean, we know they won’t accept responsibility for the shitty state of housing there. Even though their retarded social engineering has rendered it mostly unaffordable. And I’m sure they’ll all get reelected too, which is quite sad.
Man, that’s a lot of purple drank. Thanks a lot, cops. Now people around town will continue to suffer greatly with flu-like symptoms rather than get the relief they need. I hope you bastards are happy.
This is so much better than his stuff with that earlier band. Disagree if you want, but I’m right.
Have a solid Friday and a super weekend, friends!
LINX!
“Senator Lamar Alexander said he will vote against having more witnesses at the Senate trial than the Dems showed up with. So this fiasco will probably be over before the weekend is up.”
I got a bridge to sell you if you believe that. I am certain that these cuntes have some other made up pile of shit waiting in the wings they will go to as soon as this shitshow is shut down. They are desperate to get orange man before he can divulge how corrupt and criminal the Obama weaponized bureaucracy became and acted, and they will right now even burn down the country to stop the public from finding out.
That’ll be an entirely different fiasco. And yes, it will start on Monday. And even money says it has to do with Trump giving American money to
NATO allyautocratic strongman Edrogan.Wait and see. They’ll go after him for giving money to Turkey. Because the head of the nation is an autocrat. Nevermind the fact that some stupid assholes let them in NATO long before Trump hit the scene.
Oh, I am well aware that Turkey is the next shitshow. The thing is that I am sure it too will go nowhere. But with Flynn’s defense now telling the government to go to hell and Barr and his team getting ready to drop the hammer on numerous Obama three letter agency bosses that were down right criminal in their behavior, I am worried they will become so desperate to stop the flow of information that they will actually do something seriously damaging (to the country). Cornered rats go feral, after all.
Damn skippy.
They are desperate to get orange man before he can divulge how corrupt and criminal the Obama weaponized bureaucracy became and acted
If this were 2017, I’d buy it. In 2020? That ship has sailed. Sorry, the deep state won. The Obama admin won’t be held to account.
I am certain that these cuntes have some other made up pile of shit waiting in the wings they will go to as soon as this shitshow is shut down.
Of course they will. But they will need to start over again in the House. And given what clusterfuck the impeachment they worked on for 3+ years was, and how much damage it has done to the Dems, the new one can only be weaker and worse.
Mueller was their kill shot. When he fizzled, it was game over. This Ukraine stuff is so transparently weak, and laden with landmines for their own presidential frontrunner, that its hard to believe they even brought it forward. If their fallback to Mueller was this shitshow, what’s their fallback for this shitshow?
Isn’t the preferred nomenclature Lin@? Or was it Lino/a?
*uptwinkles*
Bernie Sanders supporters are jumping the gun
Socialists never shy away from violence.
Expecting a Trump re-run they figured an in and out was preferable to being disappointed in Nov. Accurate thinking for these guys but cover the Bernie bumper sticker with a quick remove Amy one, if there is such a thing.
It’s how they add flavor to their “omelets”….
Some people are getting the fact that to inform the people properly, you must avoid the usual establishment goal keepers. And man is the Beeb pissed it won’t get to spin this in the negative way it wanted to. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.
End the tv license fee, and end all government sponsorship of the BBC.
If they want to continue their nonsense, they can do so on their own pence.
Someone has to figure out how to advertise on Trump tweets.
Eh, they don’t need to televise the thing to spin it hard. Plenty won’t be on social media anyway and so will just watch select clips on the TV news anyway.
Do people actually watch the BBC? I’d thought they’d driven away all of their audience.
My folks recently got a smart TV. The only “smart” function they use on it is the BBC iplayer app, to watch all the BBC they didn’t see while they were watching live BBC.
That’s hysterical.
Social media is the new establishment gatekeepers.
While this is true, they are unable to silence big names that otherwise would not have found a way to tell their story like the old MSM used to do. I would not be surprised that the new establishment would try to silence the little fish, but they would get destroyed if they shut down someone like a Trump or a Johnson. It would immediately remove their veneer of legitimacy.
Eh. They’re able to. The courts would probably even give them cover. They choose not to, for now.
Chefs instead of Chiefs because of the ad?
Yeah, why not. That was always a great Southwest ad. I won’t let it die.
Snickers, actually.
Although, this is a great Southwest Airlines commercial.
They need to bring that tagline back, although I suppose it would be “You are now free to move around the globe”
You’re as free as the TSA goons let you be.
Same reason I saw David Thiem and straight sets.
Duh… it’s the obstructionist Republican’s fault!
Or it’s the kulaks and wreckers.
Or next time they’ll have the right TOP (WO)MEN in charge and fix the mistakes the last batch of idiots made.
When do we expect them to say that the problem is that the tax payers are not giving them enough money to tackle the problems with?
Cause you know that’s what all these asshats want people to believe.
Need to subsidize affordable housing
And at the same time block any and all new construction or repurposing of dead properties.
Zoning laws continue to drive up housing costs/prices. Run down small town governments can’t understand why there are fixer uppers and abandoned homes and no one seems to want them.
“WORLD PEACE THROUGH ZONING”, reads that bumper sticker on the Subaru Horror Theater station wagon.
They just need to make “crime free zones,” “affordable housing zones” and “good jobs zones.”
Yep. I very time I try to contrast the price of housing in Houston relative to LA, some leftist asshat inevitably comes up with “you don’t have the same issues we have because nobody wants to live in Houston”.
They refuse to accept responsibility or face reality.
I do, I do; I want to live in Houston!
Seriously though, your point is well taken. Here is what $1500 per month gets you in NYC, versus what $1500 per month gets you in New Orleans. I need another drink; I can feel the Toshiro Mifune impulses starting up again.
Damn… Here’s what $1,400 a month gets you in a nice Cleveland suburb. That’s if you’re renting, my mortgage payment is about 60% of that.
And then the fuckers will move to Texas and vote for the same shit that ruined California.
And for some reason, the folks who benefit from it like the system. It’s a mystery.
Detroit is the model.
Words I never thought I would read… hell Detroit is the one city even us in Cleveland can make fun of.
/STILL NOT DETROIT!

Hakeem Jeffries: Steele dossier wasn’t foreign interference because it was ‘purchased’

Good morning, Sloopy!
And good morning Glibs!
I watched a little of the Fed beatdown. I thought his early success was suspect. When the Djoker put the hammer down, it was all over.
I was thinking Chiefs, too, but I’m coming around on the ‘Niners. I agree it will be close, but I’m taking SF.
The Pistols were awful, but it was really never about the music. It was just an excellent marketing effort.
Some real bands understood. From my current avatar.
Have a great day, y’all!
Yes, Public Image had way better musicians. The Sex Pistols could barely play their instruments.
Great Ginger Baker track.
Jack Ma has donated $14MM more than Soros.
I thought I posted this at the bottom. WTH?
Soros’ money is all going to help the people inventing Trump crimes.
“I was thinking Chiefs, too, but I’m coming around on the ‘Niners. I agree it will be close, but I’m taking SF.”
My call as well. I think Mahomes is an incredible quarterback and an interesting fella, but the Niners are just the team to beat right now.
The Chef’s are coached by Andy Reid, which means I will be pulling for them and I expect them to choke. I expect he and Marty will go down as the 2 greatest NFL coaches to never win the big one.
I will leave you with this.
Thank you Jack Ma for your donation and wanting to make the world a better place.
Signed,
Grateful American
I don’t think I’ve seen you post for ages. Any more carpentry in the works?
Yeah everything got put on hold. My father got sick and passed away a few weeks ago so we’ve been dealing with that. I have an article in the works on the whole experience. I’ll probably get to my gun cabinet later this spring, plus some other things hopefully.
Sorry, about your loss.

That “article” is downright evil.
Also, repeating a story about peeing in a bottle to avoid bathroom breaks. Has either author actually pissed in a bottle? It’s neither easy or some quick time saving shortcut. Unless the bathrooms are down a maze in the far side of wherever, no way is slower to duck in and out there.

@Acosta
Previewing his 2020 message, Trump returning to ugly anti-immigrant rhetoric at rally in Iowa, heaping contempt on migrants heading for the border: “Some of those people are stone cold killers.”
And some, I assume, are good people. Just not ms-13, which is the obvious reference for people not suffering from TDS.
You never go full retard…
Wouldn’t it benefit President Trump to be a little more obvious when he references matters ? I know the enemy media will spin things as they wish, but if Trump was a little more clear sometimes, then it would be easier to win arguments with proggie frenemies.
Why? The more the progs in the MSM foam at the mouth and call everyone a racist the more people vote for Trump.
I’ve got to believe we’ve reached the saturation point for people moving to Trump because The Corrupt Media™. Like Trashy says below everyone has made up their mind it’s about turn out now.
‘Mind Boggling’: Take a Look at These Demographic Numbers From Trump’s New Jersey Rally. “According to Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, over a quarter of registered attendees were democrats. Another significant portion of people have never voted before.”
No, and here’s why. Presidential elections are about turnout, not about convincing some malleable middle to vote for them. There are enough potential Trump voters out there to win 2020. There are enough potential TDS voters out there to lose 2020 for Trump. His calculated plan from the beginning has been to be a loudmouth advocate for a watered down conservatism. The base eats that shit up, though. He may be espousing a very wishy-washy view, but he does it in the most aggressive, combative way possible, which tickles the fancy of oft-abused conservatives.
Being clear and conciliatory erodes his base.
Many voters love the Fuck You Factor, which Trump has in spades. Reagan had it a little, too, but he was pretty chummy with Tip and the boys.
Wouldn’t it benefit President Trump to be a little more obvious when he references matters ?
Seems to me like he is pretty clear when he says (accurately) that some of the migrants are cartel. Not to mention a small handful of actual jihadis.
The MSM wants you to believe its all mothers with adorable children. His description can be seen as an antidote that misleading picture.
Last time he tried to be more conciliatory (They aren’t sending their best. Some, I am sure, are good people) he got beat up for being a racist. So, what’s the upside for taking that approach?
The upside is that I’m tired of having to waste time researching “what he meant” and trying to argue with people who don’t believe that is “what he meant.”
In bosses, friends, politicos, etc. I prefer straight talkers that don’t have to be decoded. I guess I should just sit back, pop the popcorn, and watch the shitshow that is American political races.
The Sex Pistols were a novelty act. The music was never intended to actually be good.
You could be right.
He could be black.

“Biggie Smalls”

“Biggie Smalls”
I’m shocked you still have internet and haven’t died from starvation.
Something something merit.
It’s a statement that’s as predictable as it is infuriating: President Donald Trump’s administration lacks diversity.
On Tuesday, Trump tweeted photos of a briefing he’d received on the new coronavirus spreading out of China.
“We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments,” the President said in his post. “We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!”
Who are these experts? They’re largely the same sorts of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who’ve dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning.
Whites, especially white males, are the worst. And that is totally not racist.
By contrast, former President Barack Obama’s circle of advisers in the face of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was hardly so monochromatic. Neither was it so abysmal in terms of gender diversity. (Of course, to contextualize, Obama’s administration, on the whole, was far more diverse than Trump’s.)
Because the only thing that matters is skin pigment. And that is totally not racist.
I suppose we all know people who would privately admit how absurd that is but still rationalize it all away because ORANGE MAN BAD.
If Trump is so racist, how come he hasn’t blamed the Corona virus on Mexico?
That doesn’t contextualize anything.
Given the wide swaths of people who despise Trump, and the media’s ongoing drumbeat that he’s a racist and sexist, it’s not like there are women and minorities beating down his door to work for him. And even when they do, they’re targeted for relentless mockery and abuse. Just ask Ben Carson or Betsy DeVos.
The larger context is the party membership. A president is hardly going to appoint people who oppose him, so most of his administration is going to be drawn from his party, therefor its level of representation is going to be equivalent to party membership, not the nation as a whole. The Democratic party has a more diverse membership, so its administrations are de facto going to be more diverse.
The most interesting exchange I ever had was with a black friend that had some serious surgery scheduled and demanded the doctor doing it be a white guy. I asked him WTF that was about, and he told me – with a fucking straight face, mind you – that he was not going to risk his life with an affirmative action hire. I kid you not, I was floored. the guy was not a hard core activist, but I always felt I needed to thread lightly when it came to the usual subjects.
Maybe the fact that the douchebags at CNN are focused on diversity should tell us this virus is not the big problem they are telling us it is?
Kind of the reverse of the wounded SS soldier taken prisoner by the U.S. who refused a blood transfusion, and died, because the medics wouldn’t confirm the transfusion didn’t include Jewish blood.
Fuck that guy. He got what he deserved.
I was having some minor surgery on my hand a few years ago. I was asked if Dr (Japanese-American) would be OK. I asked if he was any good.”Oh, he’s the best”. I want him and he was good. Unfortunately for us here he was so good he moved onto a new place with a more lucrative practice, I hope.
Many years ago, in an Army hospital, Dr Washington (his real name) performed a miracle on my hand. He was big, mean, tough and correct in his treatment. I am grateful for good doctors.
My current GP is an immigrant. He was born in Kenya, educated in the UK, employed by NHS for only as long as it took to find a way to the USA. He hates, hates, HATES socialized medicine and has expressed a desire to go into concierge medicine if he can build up a sufficient clientele. I would absolutely sign up with him if does so.
Ain’t it funny how qualified people have very little desire to be part of systems that promote mediocrity? I often wonder if that is why meritocracies are under attack. The mediocre, after all, outnumber those that are not by a large number, and they hate the fact a system exists that holds said mediocrity against them.
This is called “the beginning of wisdom,” young padawan.
I thought for sure this was a Babylon Bee article. I mean a funny one, but just a little too obvious. Is this what the final days of Rome looked like?
“There are not enough Barbarians in the Senate.”
The head executive is a Rutaceae-American, how much more minority, non-white can you get?
Why am I not surprised?

This was probably already covered, but another day, another Intel hardware vulnerability
CVE’s year+4-digit numbering scheme is gonna look overly optimistic here soon.
When AMD was struggling they just sat back raked in the cash. Their failure to move to the next node plus all of the security issues has not been kind to them.
Because of Intel’s market share, however, their BIOS development and stability is still leaps ahead of AMD’s.

The ice cream I dropped off my diet like an old pair of socks when I realized how much sugar is in it and how bad that was for me. But coffee, chocolate, and alcohol – sorry, life needs some value to make it worth living.
Nazi Pelosi has lost the plot.
The reporter asked whether Pelosi expects Trump to be “chastened” by the impeachment process or “emboldened because the Senate will have acquitted him.”
Rather than answering the question, the House speaker launched into a diatribe against Republicans.
“Well, he will not be acquitted. You cannot be acquitted if you don’t have a trial, and you don’t have a trial if you don’t have witnesses and documentation and that,” she huffed.
I suppose the House spent months and countless taxpayer dollars NOT seeking documentation and witnesses.
This was an attempt to deligitimize his presidency so they could then prevent him from marching forth with reforms that were destroying 50 plus years of leftist “institutional reform”. They know he will be reelected, and they need to stop his changes to the judiciary – especially replacing RBG – and the fact he is rolling back all the illegal Obama years bullshit we got straddled with by the pen. And they fear the fact that he has destroyed their talking point that we should just accept a shitty economy in order to let government enact social justice.
Kabuki theater, ya know.
They really seem to be hanging their hat on the “he’ll be impeached FOREVER!” thing. It’s so childish.

“Nothing in this bill is giving us more say; it’s taking away what little say we have now,” said Isaiah Madison, a 24-year-old graduate student in Leimert Park who recently joined Livable California’s board. “I’m not against development. I am just for communities navigating that development with a developer. We have community plans in South Los Angeles that we’ve been working on for 30 years that included a lot of input from a community that has historically been underrepresented in urban planning, and I think that’s important to protect.”
Thank a teacher!
Given CARB and the other top-down fiat crap from Sacramento — my inclination is with the opponents of the bill. The last thing folks outside of SF and Sac should want is having more committees deciding how everyone else will live.
And all of that “community input” has led to… what, exactly? Because cries against “gentrification” and, you know, building stuff?
*Besides cries
California truly is pathetic.
“Hi, I’m on the Shitty Media Men list, but maybe you already knew that
ast spring, during my first week on the janitorial staff at a Dave & Buster’s, I struck up a conversation with a coworker who had served 17 years in prison. Swapping life stories, I sheepishly divulged that I used to work for The Washington Post, that I had a book published by HarperCollins, and that I spent years as the top editor of a popular website.
He fixed a look at me. “So what are you doing here?” he asked. For the life of me, I couldn’t begin to explain.
How could I describe how I was fortunate enough in 2006 to be able to afford a one-bedroom condo at age 24, yet that today I feel trapped in that space, with the mortgage still underwater? Could I adequately explain how I went from having a life and career I felt proud of, to being publicly shamed by my peers and punished for things I didn’t do?
In October 2017, I was one of roughly 70 men included in the Shitty Media Men list, a crowdsourced spreadsheet of anonymous, unvetted allegations of sexual misconduct and assault. No words can describe my astonishment and horror at finding myself accused of “harassment,” “stalking” and “physical intimidation.” Even more agonizing was seeing this supposedly private listing, allegedly intended as a whisper-network warning among trusted insiders, swiftly leaked to the public, initially on the website of conservative activist Mike Cernovich and later on other outlets and social media.”
https://medium.com/@mike_tunison/hi-im-on-the-shitty-media-men-list-but-maybe-you-already-knew-that-f446aed1f93b
And if he hadn’t been tagged on that list what are the odds he would be right there with the rest of the MSM?
I’d put it at 95% that he’d be pushing the #MeToo and #BelieveHer narrative while rationalizing his acts.
What acts though?
He was accused by someone who identified as a woman; hence, by his beliefs (assuming he did push #MeToo and #BelieveHer, which based on DEG’s comment below, he still does), he has committed these acts.
Well, that’s just silly.
How can you be underwater 14 years into a mortgage?
Lets do some math…lets go with 6% mortgage rate, that would have been high in 2006 and also assume 0% down. Also, assume 13 years, as we don’t know when in 2006 he bought it.
Okay, he would still owe 76.6% of the original value, meaning the value is still more than 24% below the purchase price. Seems…ummm…unlikely, but possible.
“How can you be underwater 14 years into a mortgage?”
Shutup with your privilege, someone is trying to be oppressed!
Second mortgages for the win!
Donegan is currently being sued by another listed man, Stephen Elliott, for libel and emotional distress. Perhaps surprisingly, I disagree with the lawsuit. I see the list as a net positive for having removed some extreme offenders. Attacking Donegan for creating the possibility of false claims ignores the failures of established power structures that shielded abusers and made the list necessary.
He’s learned nothing.
Whenever lefties are indoctrinated, there’s something in the kool-aid that turns off learning. Therefore, those people are unreachable.

A Trump campaign official just RTed a tweet containing the name of the alleged whistleblower.
Just another impeachable offense.
I mean nobody knows who the whistleblower is, it’s a huge secret. So there’d be no way of knowing if somebody tweeted it out.
This is what desperation looks like. The problem they all have is that if we confirm the leaker is Ciaramella, then we can also point out that he is part of the original clique that was spying on Trump & his people, and worse, that he had tried, not once, but twice, already to set the Trump people up by claiming something so illegal was done that they needed to impeach. Remember, this asshat was one of the people in the room when they had the conversation about how to commit what amounts to a coup to get rid of Trump. His credibility would be shot and Shiff would be exposed too for the coordinated effort between his people and the deep state apparatus if we could actually pin him down.
And of course that cunte Roberts says no questions relating to any of this will be allowed. Although the Republicans and cocaine Mitch should have the balls to just overrule him.

Roberts and McConnell are fine with the deep state.
Roberts, definitely. Everything can be justified on the altar of the appearance of legitimacy and top men in charge.
McConnell on the other hand still seems to think that the government should work like the Constitution says (more or less). He’s just an establishment creature when it comes to what laws said government should pass.
I’m on board now with letting Roberts further delegitimize the whole farce. Dicking around with what the impeachment managers can be asked only helps bring this to a close sooner rather than later.
If the vote on more witnesses goes the Dems’ way, it will be up to Cocaine Mitch and the Murder Turtle to control the process, and thus the outcome, for what witnesses are called and what they can be asked. I doubt they will let the Dems and Dem-symp NeverTrumpers run that show.
So what? There are no laws protecting the identity of a “whistleblower”, only laws saying you can’t retaliate against them.
I thought we already had one failed impeachment over this. Congress can pass all the laws it wants, the President still has the power to fire people in the executive branch.
There is no whistleblower. No whistles have been blown. This is a bunch of nonsensical hearsay. There is no name to protect because nobody has done anything that rises to the level of whistleblowing.
Sometimes I wonder if they’re smarter than they seem and the end goal actually is to make a mockery of whistleblowing. That way, when somebody does come along and report on genuine malfeasance, they’ll be ignored or hushed up or punished without any media fuss.
I don’t think you are crediting them with enough cynicism. There is no grand plan on any side of any of this. No one is playing 4d chess. These are people with IQs right up at the top of the bell. Dead middle of the road minds who have learned the secret lesson of power. If you tell big lies loudly and never acknowledge error or fault people will believe you and you can get away with things.
My new telephone (Samsung) is stuck in a repetitive loop of “Must download updates now”.
It’s really pissing me off. And I can find no way to turn updates off.
Nuke it from orbit
Too extreme.
“Samsung”
Don’t worry, when it explodes, that will stop.
There is a combination of power and volume buttons that will get you to a boot loader. You can either try clear data and reboot. Or worst case – you can nuke it and start it up like it is a new phone you just bought.
You will have to search the web for your particular phone. And since Millennials don’t understand anything that isn’t done in a video – odds of finding written instructions instead of 99+ videos all over 10 minutes are not good.
“odds of finding written instructions instead of 99+ videos all over 10 minutes are not good”
I find that so annoying.
It wasn’t half as bad when people weren’t padding out the videos to make more money and YouTube wasn’t inserting 2 new ads every time you so much as looked sideways. I used to be able to work on my car according to a video without much hassle. Now it’s a total pain in the ass as every time I mistap on the phone I lose my place and have to watch another fucking ad or three.
I was wondering if I was the only one. JFC – just give it to me in written English (or Japanese, or heck; Spanish and I’ll google translate the rough parts). I learned to read for a reason.
You’re not the only one. I can’t stand instructional videos of any kind when written words will do.
Amen!
“Today we’re going to look at blah blah blah in Blender, and as usual we’re going to start from the default Cube and do all our scene setup unrelated to today’s exercise right here while you wait.”

So Japanese Millennials have adopted this practice as well?
The Weaboos are going to be mighty disappointed.
iPhone. I can’t wait to go back to having Apple surveil me instead of primarily Google and the Chicoms.
“instead of primarily Google and the Chicoms”
Where do you think those Apple hones are made?
And they can’t even afford a p in that sweat shop.
That’s what the empty gatorade bottles are for.
Oh I know that, I didn’t that exclusively. Apple and the Chicoms rather than Google and the Chicoms. Actually Apple, Google, Chicoms, GCHQ, NSA, FBI, etc. Having an Android phone means Apple doesn’t really get in on that peepfest, but of course Apple phones are just better in every way.
When my Android went into that mode, I solved it by letting it do the updates. They really will finish one of those days.

Twenty-three nations embrace Trump peace plan, 7 in Middle East
The rejects are funny.
I don’t see the rejects in that article. But let me guess. All of the countries that oppose peace in the middle east, are in the middle east? And I’m sure the Palestinians don’t want it. They’re the angry feminists of the planet, it’s hard to be perpetually oppressed if you’re not being oppressed.
It was in the embedded tweet. Iran and Palestine, of course.
That is a shocker.
This is what is most telling about the whole affair. Obama sucked the dick of the anti-semites and repeatedly fucked over Israel, but he was considered a great leader because he helped the fucking evil shits that wanted to kill all the Jews. Trump is accused of being an anti-semite for actually siding with Israel against death cult worshiping evil fucks. The reaction by these people shows you that the whole idea of being able to negotiate a peace is a farce, because they only will accept genocide.
“The author of the pro-migrant, progressive novel American Dirt has now canceled her book tour after receiving death threats.
And it’s not right-wingers that are angry. It’s leftists.
Why?
She’s white.
For background on the story, check out our video:”
https://twitter.com/TheLaurenChen/status/1223111590846713857
“”American Dirt” is a novel about the plight of a Mexican woman who is forced to flee to the United States. As far as politics go, this book checks off almost every progressive box… but there is one problematic fact about it that has infuriated the left: the author, Jeanine Cummins, is white.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s73TRGoC0-w
If that bitch actually cared, she wouldn’t have been born white.
I really hate to break it to them, but about 99% of far left progressive loons are white.
Yeah, but they feel really bad about it.
Weaponized self-hatred is a hell of a drug.
There was an article a few years back about an aid worker raped in Haiti who said she was grateful because it let her understand a bit of the suffering her rapist had experienced having to live life as a PoC.

But they totally aren’t racist at all….
Two losses for trans-Atlantic twits: Brexit finally happens, impeachment collapses
No worries, though, they still get their gun grabbing done. Once they get all of your guns, you deplorables, you’re going to stop that Brexiting and Trumping, or else.
This is precisely why they are adamant about disarming us: unarmed people are easier to control and abuse.
The guns are already gone in the UK, and nobody is proposing letting people get them back.
There are a few Brits with guns. Bloke on the Range posted this 20-some-odd minute interview with a British target shooter.
And once they’re gone here in the US, there won’t be anyone proposing letting anyone get them back. They know this.
They aren’t going anywhere. When voters realize that they can do something about it and start recalling stupid fuckheads, the tide will turn.
I suspect there are a lot of people out there who never vote, because what’s the point? The Establishment always wins.
But both Trump and Brexit prove that isn’t the case.
The problem is not what the people will or will not do. They’ve already elected democrats in a super majority. Now those democrats are going to go batshit crazy with every leftist law they can pass. And there’s no limit to what they can do. Once those laws are signed into law, they’re never going away, because there’s not one single lawmaker out there who has the guts to try to repeal anything. So even if VA votes then all out next election, they’re stuck with those laws, forever.
Lamar Alexander is still a Senator? I haven’t heard that name in over a decade.
Every six years, he rises from the dead to get re-elected.
It’s hard to keep flannel down.
Yes, he is clearly suffering from a bit of senile dementia…thank doG he is retiring and will hopefully be replaced by less of a statist.

I’m starting to think I should just have ordered a goddam flipphone. This thing is already jam packed with bloatware and stuff I have no need or use for. I don’t do games, for fuck’s sake (not anywhere, and certainly not on my phone). It’s kind of handy to have a couple of news apps, but I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion it’s not worth the aggravation.. I can’t even find a way to disable apps. I suppose I’ll have to waste an afternoon hunting for tutorials.

Dig around?
*takes shovel to phone*
That’s generally true, although sometimes you have to do the magic incantation to turn on developer mode first (don’t do this unless there’s a solid reason), but between Google renaming and moving things around with every version, and the phone makers that like to customize the UI, the longer your work with Android the less it seems like you know. It took me a couple hours to find everything I already knew about in Android 6 when I got to Android 9.
I also can’t help anyone with a Samsung or HTC phone because I’ve only used stock Android. The options are in totally different places with totally different names on non-stock phones.

NBC is jumping back on the warmongering bandwagon.
Story on Today this morning….
After speaking with over a dozen (!) military officials, NBC has built a “disturbing” picture of the lead-up to the strike on Sulaimani. You see, Trump approved that strike, and at the same time approved strikes on the Iranian Navy. He was told that the Iranian navy could be disabled in a minutes, and completely destroyed in a couple of days.
So the US warned Iran via Switzerland that they would face severe consequences if US troops were fired upon in missile attacks.
Then Iran fired missiles at the US troops. (Show pictures of burned out hanger building) And 64 US troops suffered Traumatic Brain Injuries (diagram of human brain overlaying destroyed building and prominent words 64 Traumatic Brain Injuries). Quickly, on the way out they did mention “most of which were minor”.
“So scary… we really were on a hair trigger” Savanna Guthrie tells us.
That is a lot of digging and a lot of conjecture mixed with your reporting. I wonder if they spent even a fraction of the time they spent investigating a non-war with Iran looking in to the Obama administration spying on a US presidential candidate… or attacking Libya… or…
So they played Trump as both a dangerous war monger AND a mewling coward who was afraid to defend US troops, lest he start a war.
Really, really crazy.
but don’t pull our troops out of the ME, or you’ll start a War……
“President Can’t Swim”
Not crazy at all. It’s the progressive playbook.
Say the Constitution is outdated nonsense written by white supremacists when you’re in power and defend it with your very life when those other guys are in power.
Say war is good when you’re doing it, and say it’s bad when those other guys are doing it.
etc, etc. Right on cue.
This one is special though. In the same paragraph he’s both a war-monger cowboy and a cringing coward who is afraid to go to war.
I get doublethink. But it is impressive to put it all in the same story. Usually they just ignore what they told us a week or two ago… not a sentence ago.
“Usually they just ignore what they told us a week or two ago… not a sentence ago.”
Progress. Why do you think they call them progressives?

So the US warned Iran via Switzerland that they would face severe consequences if US troops were fired upon in missile attacks.
I suspect most sane people would hear that and go “Hmm. Sounds about right.” And then look around and think “So Trump didn’t escalate because a failed missile strike inflicted only minor injuries on a some US troops. Hmm. Sounds about right.”
No, you don’t understand. This is “explosive reporting” by the NBC team. They said so in their opening montage. “Explosive reporting” about the leadup to the strike on Sulaimani.
They all nodded and agreed that it was really important. And scary.
This is NBC. The most trusted team in the news business. I know this because their marketing says so.
Parenthetically – I find it shocking that an entire industry of reporters putting this kind of effort into finding *any hint* of wrondoing by Trump cannot come up with anything better than this.
Three cutaways to different reporters standing outside different DC buildings all with speculation but no facts is not “effort.” I haven’t seen any “effort” in TV news since the ’80’s.
They could probably find Trump wrongdoing if they put in actual effort. But that would take, like, 3 or 4 extra man-days ‘n shit.
Savannah Guthrie doesn’t know shit about anything. She’s about as credible as me talking about nuclear physics.
She knows enough that she isn’t telling. She was reportedly in a meeting at Schumer’s apartment in NYC at 2am the night before the letter from Cavanaugh accuser Blasey-Ford was leaked (from Schumer’s office). The meeting was reportedly a planning session for the Senate strategy to block the appointment.
Yet she never let on that she knew exactly who had leaked the letter. So she knows a thing or two.

Thanks Yusef. I remember stumbling my way into something like that on the previous phone. I guess I just have to stumble harder. I think I saw something like a trash can when I accidentally clicked on something the other day. Maybe I’ll try that with candy crush. I’m pretty sure I can live without that.
Dragging and dropping a bunch of stuff in the trash makes way too much sense.

What infuriates me is all the .gov types saying “it’s only been in effect a month! We need to wait and see how it works! We can’t change it until we have more data!” Especially when they debated and passed the SAFE act in seven minutes.
On top of everything else, this fiasco is going to tarnish the worthy cause of criminal justice reform to the point that ’80s style “lock em all up forever” sentences will be popular with the electorate again. NY Dems doing their usual bang-up job of fucking everything up.
Trump is such a scary warmongering maniac Congress actually bestirred themselves to a half hearted attempt to reassert their authority over the use of the Department of War. Of course, those depraved Rethuglitards in the Senate will squelch their good intentions.

“Biden argued against witnesses in 1999 impeachment trial memo
In January 1999, then-Sen. Joe Biden argued strongly against the need to depose additional witnesses or seek new evidence in a memo sent to fellow Democrats ahead of President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial.
Biden circulated the four-page document, titled “Arguments in Support of a Summary Impeachment Trial,” on Jan. 5, 1999. In his memo, obtained by POLITICO, Biden cited historical precedents from impeachment cases going back to the establishment of the Senate and asserted “The Senate need not hold a ‘full-blown’ trial.
“The Senate may dismiss articles of impeachment without holding a full trial or taking new evidence. Put another way, the Constitution does not impose on the Senate the duty to hold a trial,” Biden wrote at the time.
The Delaware Democrat added later: “In a number of previous impeachment trials, the Senate has reached the judgment that its constitutional role as a sole trier of impeachments does not require it to take new evidence or hear live witness testimony.””
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/30/joe-biden-impeachment-witness-109730
That was different.
Clinton only committed a few felonies. Trump literally tried to expose the corruption of a democrat politician.
And there is no worse crime in the mind of the Trump hating left than exposing the corruption and criminality of the democrat party and its members vis a vis their totalitarian tax & spend agenda. The deep state will not let the rubes roll back their cushy position and threaten their livelihood by demanding they actually deliver value and not just hide behind their credentials & expertise while constantly failing abysmally.
Sometimes things are easier to see if you step back a bit. Like the FBI spying on Trump. Most people didn’t see it… but it was staring everyone right in the face from very early on.
As soon as the FBI started saying that they had intel (from several agencies!!) that said the Russians were targeting the Trump campaign, trying to infiltrate it, a red flag went up. All you had to do was step back to see it.
IF that were true… wouldn’t the FBI immediately contact the Trump campaign and try to prevent such infiltration? Yet they did the opposite. They began spying on the campaign and trying to set up campaign staffers for process crimes so they could be flipped to testify. So you knew right away that the FBI was lying. You didn’t need to know about what…. it was still obvious that they were lying.
The same goes with our current levels of corruption. You don’t need specific details. Simply look up where the 5 wealthiest counties in the US are. They are all in Washington DC. If there is enough slop coming off of the corruption train to spread that much wealth around, you know that it is corrupt.
And if you had done that… you’d be able to see why Trump scares the traditional DC crowd, left and right. He’s not one of them. He’s not bought off. He’s not plugged in to the network like Obama and Bush and Clinton before him. They can’t control him … so he’s a threat.
Reminds me of the scene in Zoolander when Mugatu ends up screaming “Have I been taking crazy pills?!?”
“IF that were true… wouldn’t the FBI immediately contact the Trump campaign and try to prevent such infiltration?”
In fact, when the people that ran this counter intel infiltration op tried this very tactic against that asshole McCain back in 2007, it went nowhere precisely because the first thing the FBI did was brief the McCain campaign of the prospective attempt at infiltration. As soon as that was done, the Clinton campaign hacks behind it dropped the fucking attempt. You can see they were forced to do things this way because the president then was NOT Obama. When they did this again, the difference was that Obama ordered his people to go along with it. We might never get definite proof of that, but I am certain he did. The man is a major league narcissist and he thought he was above the law. He would have justified it as simply keeping the status quo.

Glad it helps, Off to Vegas, see you all Later today!
Interesting.
I see no reason why the VP would be disabled from casting his usual vote to break a tie, offhand. The Constitution says:
There is no exception for impeachment trials.
Now, the Chief Justice presides over the trial, but that doesn’t mean he gets a vote, which would be completely out of line with the division of powers. His role in presiding over the trial is pretty much completely undefined, true, but I would think it takes more than “but the Constitution doesn’t explicitly forbid it” to have something as completely unprecedented and contrary to separation of powers as an unelected judge casting votes in the Senate.
So, if its 50/50 on witnesses, I think Pence should cast the tie-breaking vote (if one is needed). And it probably isn’t needed, as a 50/50 vote on any matter requiring a majority fails.
You forgot the part about how the dems make their own rules as they go now. Try to keep up.
Currently, they only get to make their own rules in the Senate if they can roll four Repubs. Looks like they are probably going to come up one short this time.
As far as “you aren’t acquitted if there isn’t a trial”, that’s horseshit. The trial is underway. Trials can end on motions to dismiss. When charges are dismissed, that’s an acquittal.
They really should address it as a motion for summary judgement. “having heard the opening arguments for the prosecution, and taking the most favorable view of all of the evidence presented or proposed, we find that there is no evidence of a crime worthy of impeachment here. Case dismissed.”
Then we can all smash-cut to the State of the Union where Trump says “This great nation just beat back yet another attempted coup by the left. And the result is…. looks and Pelosi… “you are all losers! Forever more, you will be known as losers….”
“President trump in an unprecedented move, used the SOTU speech to lash out in a petty tantrum…”
“Is Trump lack the self control to continue being President? We turn now to noted mental health expert Dr Nick..”
“Given the clearly unhinged behavior on display, how soon can Congress act to ensure that the presidency is not occupied by an possibly insane psychotic?…”
I see you understand how this game is played….
You’re still playing by that silly old outdated rule of law thing. In the new proggesstopia, we make the rules up as we go and you obey, comrade.
And if you forget that part, simply refer to rule #1. Orange man bad.
The problem with making up your own rules, especially with these idiots that tink they are smarter than the rest, is shit like this….
“We have community plans in South Los Angeles that we’ve been working on for 30 years”
The only proper way to end that sentence is, “which by itself is proof that we haven’t the slightest clue what we’re doing. We are profoundly sorry for wasting tens of millions of your dollars and we’re going to go away now.”
Imagine for a moment the benefit for humanity if YouTube ran an algorithm that deleted every video that began with someone saying “What’s up, guys?!?”
“Don’t forget to hit Subscribe, and SMASH that Like button!”
And deletes the account of anyone who starts with “What is up, guys?!?”
“Hey guys!” seems more ubiquitous than “What’s up, guys?”
Maybe then delimit to “guys” within the first five seconds?

I also try to avoid any video where the cover “still” is people with their arms above their heads.

I expected him to put the card to his head and provide the answer before reading the question.
They just can’t help themselves. It’s fascinating (and scary!) to watch.
Leads to an interesting question, does Roberts have the same powers as any other judge in a regular trial? For example, could he have Warren arrested for contempt of court?
They guy who smoked the joint got 10 days for contempt. I could see Warren getting the same for that stunt.
She’s probably hoping for it
Isn’t there a bit of the Constitution that senators have absolute immunity for anything they say while in session?
Yeah, and I figured that would be the counter argument, I guess this counts as a session.
Congress has their own contempt power… let it flow!
Inconceivable
In other words, Americans are collectively yawning at the Senate impeachment trial. Folks who are deeply engaged in the political process are wondering why, but the big-picture answer is fairly simple. Most Americans are motivated not by the propriety of our politics but by its effects on their lives. In the impeachment and attempted removal of Trump, they’ve been given little reason to panic — or even care.
There are many reasons for this that are worth noting. And the main one is probably this: The conclusion seems foreordained. Whatever the merits of impeachment (I argued here previously that one article is a dud and the other a judgment call), the members of the House largely voted along party lines to impeach Trump. There wasn’t much suspense because the Democrats enjoy a majority, so impeachment carried the day as expected. We’ve been given no reason to think things will go much differently in the Senate, where the president’s party holds a majority.
Plenty of ink and pixels have been spilled about the Republicans who might break ranks and support impeachment, but that cuts the other way as well. A few Republicans might defect. But so might a few Democrats. The result will still be that Trump stays in office. And thus far, the main fight has focused on the inside-baseball question of whether there will be witnesses at the trial, a much lesser issue than actual removal, and even that is looking like it will get only a handful of GOP supporters.
——-
Furthermore, to the extent that Americans are following the details of these foreign dealings and think Trump did something improper here, there’s little to suggest they see it as far outside of normal Washington corruption. The charge is that he tried to game the system to get a foreign government to look into … another American politician’s alleged corrupt gaming of the system in a foreign country.
No shit it’s like driving down the street and seeing a bunch kids playing sandlot baseball arguing about whether the runner was safe or out.
Dear Congress-
NOBODY RESPECTS YOU.

Sweet. I’ll wear it when I take the Arctic Bentley out for a spin.
That’s a hell of a hat that you’re wearing…
Is “Russian Raccoon” a specific animal, or is it a good old ‘Merican Trash Panda that crossed the Bering Strait?
Also, $500?????!!?!
That’s a bargain.
so I was depressed and shopped irresponsibly. I hate when that happens. this is what 20s women do, no offense.
I thought 20’s women got depressed and made bad choices on Tinder or Bumble, then went on social media to condemn their “date”.
Or have I been reading too much social media?
I thought they put on knee length beaded dresses, rolled down their stocking, and went to speakeasies?
I thought they got short haircuts and danced the Charleston.
Guns, whiskey, or beer?
Guns? You mock me sir?
Always. But you should know that by now.
Always – and I was right! That’s how Gibs spend their excess cash.
No one dare to mock a vampire.

10 drops of water is not enough
Tears are not enough.
jeez that is bad
Spendy, but not absurd.
This is absurd.
Although I did try a 25yo scotch at the SMWS that was pretty incredible.
i think I make a lot less money than you people
at the whisky fair they had a 40 year old balvenie you could try for 1000 Lei per 25 milliliters

Goddamit.

Holy shit! That better be a transcendent experience.
It looks like median household income in the US is about 5 to 6 times that in Romania, so probably.
It balances out when we all get diabetes from eating 5-6x as much sugar.
Absurd? Don’t look at high end Japanese whisky prices.
I’ll wear it when I take the Arctic Bentley out for a spin.
I’d still rather have a Lancia Stratos.
Me too.
Listen to those bastards!
My music choice of the day.
They make head banging look breezy and flirtatious. I do not approve.
Agreed.
Good song, though.
Not my genre, but I can appreciate it. That room must reek of pit juice.
Yes, and cigs, weed and spilled beer, as well.
Fun times, though.
DAT BASS PLAYAH DOE.
President Pimpin Austin Charged with Rape:
https://kstp.com/news/st-paul-man-president-pimpin-austin-/5415995/
I wonder how his defense of “a pimp’s love is different than a square’s” will be received by the jury?
Surely that defense has seen an Upgrayedd by now?

and singer-songwriter-actor-seemingly good guy Justin Timberlake.
i generally liked Timberlake on SNL. The immigrant sketch is still my favorite of his I think
Some of my friends loved lonely island back then so I heard all their songs
Well, my boss and his boss just got banned from the office because they traveled to China this month.
Nevermind that they returned from the trip 2 weeks ago and weren’t in the most impacted area and aren’t showing any signs of illness.
Is this a “oh no don’t throw us in that briar patch of a corporate-paid hotel staycation” kind of ban?
*gets on cheaptickets.com, looks for tickets to China…*
Watch out for Cartels
Wait, wot? Illegal Indians found in constitution-free zone near Soviet Canukistan.

Everything old is new again.
So, we need to build a Ziggurat and raid nearby lands for slaves and plunder?
That’s literally what’s on my calendar for 2:30-4:30 today.
A viking we will go, a viking we will go! Hey ho raid Derry oh! A viking we will go!
You must be one of our Minnessoda Glibs…
Is this the “rape is sexy” loon again?
Yes it is. She was ready get frisky with Anderson. That was funny.
Throw that “evidence” out the window.
Why were they in her closet? Didn’t she turn them over to the police when she reported the crime?
Day two of being sick. The music randomizer picked this song. Not bad.

Former Rep. John Delaney announced Friday that he’s dropping out of the 2020 Democratic presidential race, ending a long-shot bid that saw the Maryland Democrat spend millions of his own fortune only to fail to gain any traction in the 2020 race.
Delaney, who announced his campaign in summer 2017, had planned to stake his campaign on success in Iowa’s first-in-the-nation nominating contest. But the Democrat ultimately opted to drop out three days before the caucuses.
Kbai.
