SOMETHING
!
But that’s not important right now.
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Something!
Now you say something.
Am I being detained?!
Fuck off, Tulpa.
So you’re saying there’s a chance.
Juris Impudent is orgasmic….
That’s a horrible idea. It would be horrible if the Dems did it, and it would be just as horrible if the GOP does it.
Agreed. This is an ill thought out fantasy.
Uhhh…
Both the House and the Senate have to vote by simple majority to reject Electoral College votes.
There is no way the Democrat controlled House will throw out votes for Biden. There is no way the Republican (well, pending Georgia runoff) controlled Senate will throw out votes for Trump.
Qualcosa!

Biden To Introduce New Medal Of Honor For Bravery In Journalism
“Listen, Jack, we gotta award the journalists who did brave things like stood there and let the president say mean stuff,” Biden said in a speech from The Office of the President-Elect, which looked suspiciously like a basement, Friday evening. “We give these reporters the highest honor for their acts of valor. Some even had epic comebacks against the president on Twitter. Such bravery. Such honor.”
No one can say that the H/B administration won’t offer lots of humor, between the tears.

Ayn Rand and Rand Paul walk into an unregulated bar. They leave Paul Ryan at home, because he’s an ass with no principles. The evening is uneventful, because poisoning your customers is disincentivized by the free market.

President Trump does coin toss at Army-Navy football game
Note the election disclaimer.
Also, ‘Would’ the girl that takes off her mask to take a pic with Trump in an apparent covid germ assassination attempt.
I’d follow her.
This kind of election disclaimer is on its own proof that the election was rigged and Biden will be nothing but a usurper when when they install him in the White House next month.
Biden doesn’t even know what day of the week it is. His handlers used him as a Stalking Horse to get Commiela in.
Chance Gardner is my wife’s nickname for Biden now.
They did start talking about him for a run at the presidency at the end of that movie, just as he was giving the illusion of walking on water.
That’s excellent. I may have to swipe that.
“As of December 8, states of certified election results making Joe Biden President-Elect”
YouTube, and parent company Google, are slimy, pathetic little bootlicking propagandists that I’m very glad I’ve made an effort to jettison from my life. Clearly I need to do even more.
So he wasn’t President-Elect before Dec 8 after all? Because I seem to recall contrary statements from the MSM and tech companies before that date.
*electors still have yet to cast their ballots
And those ballots have yet to be tallied. I know that “president-elect” is usually thrown around after the state by state poll of citizens in November, but there is not one until someone concedes and/or the technicalities of the constitutional process are fulfilled.
Additionally there is no fucking “Office of the President-elect”. But there is a full bore propaganda campaign around Sleepy Joe and Kameltoe.
You WILL accept the results as called by CNN and you will call him whatever they deem proper!
Even concession doesn’t matter if the EC still votes for him.
My work laptop helpfully installed the latest version of Edge with the latest mandatory reboot.
I immediately dumped Chrome, which was the company default browser.
Edge is actually pretty decent.
I’m shocked MS built a decent browser. Is Bing its search engine?
It copied my settings from Chrome where I had DDG as the search engine.
Oh, and I was able to install an adblocker which was prohibited in my work Chrome. W00t!
I can’t imagine the brain-dead suits who decided that the worker bees shouldn’t be allowed to block ads.
PS. I can’t comment on Bing since I’ve almost never used it, but I do believe it’s the default engine for Edge.

Some people
didsaid something.—Ilhan Omar
Going to have a shitty Monday. A bunch of minions have managed to get themselves Rona’d out for two weeks. How convenient, right before Christmas. With my luck, I’ll get it Christmas Eve and it will kick my ass or kill me. Fuck me.
Ugh. Sorry.
I’m pretty sure I have it. I can’t taste anything, even beer. Imma try and get a test on Monday to tell for sure. Supposed to go back to work on Tuesday, but I’ll probably be out two weeks now. Pisses me off because I’ve been working on getting a transfer to a much closer airport and finally got them to agree to put it up, open to the whole city. That means I gotta be first to apply and the only way to see it first is to be there in person. I might be applying up to two weeks later. Thank dogs it came after T/G. Still gonna miss out on Xmas dinner, though.
Well, don’t comment here until you’re cleared. Wouldn’t want to catch it over the ‘tubes.
It’s OK, I have a diaper hanging from the shifter in my car. It’s doing just as much good as if I were wearing it right now.
Our policy if is you have symptoms 10 day stay at home from onset. Positive test = 14 days from result. #nevergettested
if is? Whatever.
I’ve been getting the test at work, because it’s free and they have been just rubber stamping everyone negative so far. The last one, on Wednesday, gave a positive to the parts guy. They sent all three part’s guys home and made me record my temps, twice a day for 14 days. That was Thursday. Friday night, I lost my sense of smell and taste. I had congestion, but it seems to have cleared overnight. I need a test because I gotta use sick time unless I have the vid. I don’t have 14 days worth, so I’ll have to use VC for a chunk. I have enough to cover that, but I’d rather just get it comped completely. Oh, and, If is indeed.
The problem is that half of them tested negative, but their kids didn’t. It’s bullshit. It used to be, “I feel like shit. I need a sick day.” Okay, take a day or two or three. That was fine. I’ve sent people home for coming in sick. I’ve even threatened people with documentation. “You give anyone the flu, fucker, I’ll write you up. You have sick days for a reason, use them.”
Nowadays, it’s my third cousin tested positive I after I had sex with her/him. Okay, you’re out for 10-14 days. What great protocols we have.
Sorry.
Officially my new party trick if anyone needs a beer opened
Neat. But I’d rather watch her bend over to get one out of the fridge. There is a reason the beer goes on the bottom shelf.

Yeah, I should’ve handled that introduction differently. I regret that. It is a dusty video.

Thanks, BP.
Making matzo balls. When the box said “roll into approximately one inch balls” I probably should have paid attention. Because it didn’t say they would greatly expand. Some of these guys are like the size of small oranges now.

No. ?

Closest thing to a Jewish deli around here makes them that large. Basically one in a puddle of broth. And it’s still good!

Heh. They came out decent anyway – even the gigantic orange-sized ones. Could use more spice or something next time.

Too bad the Bills and Browns rarely play each other.

In positive news, got a call from a friend of mine who invited me over to watch the game tomorrow night. We will be violating the curfew order and cheering for the Browns.

Amazon Prime has starred streaming Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Extreme_Elimination_Challenge
It’s a redubbed Japanese challenge game show. It’s dubbed with English wisecracking and sexual innuendo. The Japanese game show is a obstacle course challenge from the 1980’s. The little protections for the participants is hilarious as are the juvenile commentary.
Excellent, just started it now
Right you are Tulip.
No connection. Honest.
Watching The Gorgon (1967) starring Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and most importantly, Barbara Shelley.

Yep. Bought the Blu-ray collection. Lots of stuff I’ve never seen before. Plus some old favorites.

Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times reports that Cleveland will announce a new team name this winter. (MLB)
The Cleveland Covids.
The Steamers?
The Cleveland Baseball Team.
C’mon America. If we work hard, we can remove every reference to those people from our culture.
Probably the Spiders.
Goodbye baseball fandom.
/has several Chief Wahoo shirts.
Wow what a weak ass name. That fucking blows.
It’s at least got some history.
It’s not a terrible name. Bit odd.
K S, Never heard of a brown recluse? They aren’t especially big, but I’ve heard of healthy guys having a month-long stay in the hospital after getting bit.
What about the White Sox, or the Red Sox? What’s fear-inducing about them other than how bad they’d smell after a double header? Orioles? Angels?
Spiders would be a perfectly cromulent name, even if I disagree with the SJW reasoning which makes it “necessary”.
The Cleveland Burning Rivers
The KneeTakers. They don’t win, but they start many conversations.
Adding insult to injury for Indians fans:
MLB rumors: Indians’ Francisco Lindor is a ‘fit’ for Yankees, but other trade partners loom
Meh. Most of us knew that Lindor wasn’t going to be with the team next year. This past season was the last grasp before we go into another rebuilding cycle.
I feel your pain. The Tigers’ general manager has pretty much come out and said that the Tigers are not really going to be trying to win yet this year.
I’ve been watching the Indians since the 80’s, I’ve suffered through worse, and there were at least a couple of great runs in there. I’m going to guess that this song is going to be cancelled as well now.
The Las Vegas Indians

Looking at the pics they just look like excess ballots. I’m all in on the stolen election thing but the simplest explanation may be the most likely.
I have no comment either way. Just shitposting.
I’m still firmly team Trump though.
I’m firmly in the “it was stolen” camp and moreover it didn’t take some “grand conspiracy” either, just commitment from lots of individual Dems working in lockstep as they always do. And thus nearly impossible to prove.
Pretty much this. It never ceases to amaze and demoralize me how easily people will fall into lockstep with each other with zero thought. No conspiracies needed, just people doing what people do. It takes a monumental amount of willpower to break way from doing it, even for seemingly intelligent people, so most people don’t even come close.
We’re social animals, with built in tribalism.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it ever came out that they coordinated it from the top, but I agree that it’s more likely structured like terror cells. People meet at non-profits. They learn skills from one another. They happen to volunteer at the same precinct, and it’s game on.
“Unfortunately, Twitter is blocking this tweet.”
Of course.
Worked for me.
Hmm, me too. I guess everything is fake news now.
Still in shrink wrap.
The single sheet in the one photograph was not filled in.
Looks like excess ballots.
I don’t remember if I announced it here, but the wife and I welcomed the newest little shitlady to the shitfamily. We both look forward to teaching her how to oppress people with freedom and she’s got me totally wrapped around her tiny, adorable finger.
Also, Tejicano, if you happen to pop in, based on some of your recent posts I wonder if we work in similar areas. If you want, feel free to contact me (if the mods would be so kind as to give him my email).
Congratulations! I hope you are getting some semblance of sleep.
Thanks. It’s not been too bad. The wife and I do a kind of split shift to give each of us bigger blocks of time to sleep.
You just made your parents happy older people. Don’t let them see the child for a few years, Grandmas don’t like to give them back.
Congrats to you and especially Mrs Mustang, she did the labor.
She’s intense. 8 hours of “labor” and only 30 minutes of actual pushing while I stood around. She teaches some fitness classes though.
Oh, and the grandparents won’t get to see her for almost a year because of travel restrictions. We hate every second of it. It breaks our hearts that they don’t get to see their first grandkid at their youngest. There aren’t enough words to describe my hatred for the panicmongers.
Grats! I love babies, but they all grow up to be insolent teenagers, some even start 5 years too early.
Insolent adults, too, if we did our jobs properly.
Congrats!

Congratulations!

Thanks. I’ve been trying to stay unplugged a bit just because the news sucks, but I do circile around here a couple times a week to read day-old comments.
I understand.
However, this group of crazy assholes actually keeps me from losing my mind.
Good luck with the little chick. I’m really happy for you and mom.
That’s fantastic. Congratulations. I have 2 of them and wouldn’t trade for anything.

There is another faction that supports the Washington

https://www.salon.com/2020/12/13/why-the-democrats-failed-again-on-the-cosmological-emptiness-of-liberalism/
Indeed, the failings of liberal democracy since the end of the Cold War lie squarely in the donut hole of the Democratic Party in particular and liberalism in general. This donut hole emerges from what one might call the “cosmological emptiness” of the Democratic Party’s organization and program, and of its governing principles and ideology.
What do I mean by this somewhat grandiose term? By cosmological emptiness, I am referring to the absence of any animating set of principles and beliefs about human nature, history, society and politics which is grounded in the mystery of creation itself. Say what one will about the take-no-prisoners, animal energy of the Trump insurgency, with its play to the darkest impulses of its religious and rural bases. Christian conservatives within the Republican Party take that mystery seriously, and have articulated and organized a coherent strategy that fully exploits its subdural power.
If we could only figure out how to care about the world the way those morally-defective deplorables do, we could rule the world.
The existential cynicism is dripping from that article. Nothing can be done or believed or felt for its own sake. Everything is a power struggle.
What’s the Mussolini quote I’m looking for?
This one?
No, sorry. I know that was a broad question. It’s something like all for the state, nothing outside the state, all within the state. I’m sure I mangled it.
Meh, you don’t have to be “religious” or “rural” to notice the complete lack of understanding of human nature coming from the Dems.
Chin-stroke harder, dude.
Probably because if they coalesced into a set of principles it’d look remarkably similar to the tenants of Naziism.
OOOHHH! Trump took us to the dark side! Those damn Christians love some dark ideology too! Fucking hacks. Trump did nothing that can be called the “dark side” He cut taxes and regulations, he started exactly zero new wars and did some real winding down of the existing ones, he made progress on M/E peace and got us out of some really shitty deals. He exposed the alphabets as the partisan hacks they truly are and let the legacy media hang themselves. Not a lot of dark side impulses in any of what he actually did, that I can see.
In contrast, the left embraced anti-semitism, burned down a bunch of cities, killed a few people just for being conservative, lied, cheated and stole to stop Trump, embraced book burning censorship and desperately want to start up a few new wars. Collectively, they have lost their freaking minds if they think they have the high road here. Darkest impulses aptly describes the left, not Trump.
They’re zealots for all things evil. Zealotry in and of itself can cause you to do evil, even when you’re a zealot for big G Good. These ghouls are zealots for big E Evil, and the zealotry amplifies their badness.
Well, except for appointing DeVos to rubber-stamp rape-bros and unleash a holocaust against trans kids.
Thank you, Rhywun.
What’d I do now?
Bills beat the Stillers.
And in splendid fashion!
Indeedie. That was an enlivening game.
Yeah, it took a while but it finally kicked into gear.
Cool. I’m happy to take credit for that. 🙂
Full confession: I don’t dislike the Stillers. There are any number of teams I would root for them over.
But not my Bills.
This may be a problem for Portland.
https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2020/12/13/for-some-strange-reason-insurers-no-longer-want-to-cover-businesses-in-portland/
Nothing a little bit of strong arm politicking can’t resolve.
I think the strong arm would have to come from the state. It’s usually in the form of telling insurers with multiple lines they have to keep writing business liability if they want to keep offering their other lines too.
Some insurers pull out because they don’t have the other lines. Some conclude, on the whole, it isn’t worth it. Some stay but rates go up. It could be substantial.
When you’ve lost Joe Scarborough…
Just an opportunity for the city to create their own municipal insurance corp.

Also, good morning.
Mornin’
Time to get ready for work. *sigh*
Morning.
Good morning, gentlemen.
I’m glad to have managed to reset my sleep schedule that this is in fact morning and not some odd corner of a wakeful span, or worse, the middle of a sleep period.
I was lucky that I didn’t screw up mine by having a fancy coffee while we were out Saturday evening, nor by taking a nap late yesterday afternoon.
So far (knock wood) this month – one of my usual Hell months at work – hasn’t been bad at all. I’m even caught up on dealing with returned mail. I’m sure I’ll get a bunch more today. Overall, I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I wanted to ask if you figured out what extracurricular activity has been confirmed for Donny Colfax at Leyden Academy. If you do (or can’t) figure it out, send me an email, since the key piece of information is in an as yet unpublished story, and I don’t want to spoil things for other Glibs by discussing details.
I’ll go back and refresh my alleged memory, since I’ve read at least two full books in the last couple of weeks (including a prequel to The Hunger Games that I didn’t know existed until I went Christmas shopping in the neighborhood new/used bookstore.) That’s in the JR file you sent me, correct?
The key detail is, yes, but it’s not designed to be obvious.
gentlemen?
Hey what about me???

It goes the show the ephemeral nature of the notifications I get that of the ~1500 emails I got in one week’s vacation, I only need to sift through 115 of them, some of which will still not need action on my part.
Yeah, I get hundreds a day from one stupid job that’s not even on my radar.
Unlike everyone else I work with, I actually try to keep on top of my email. It’s comical when my boss shows his desktop because he has like 95,000 unread emails in his inbox and a bunch of subfolders with thousands of unread mails in each of those too.
Got an FNG today. Kid’s got some work experience, but he doesn’t even look old enough to drink.

“Cornell Offers “Person Of Color”-Exemption For Flu Vaccine Requirement”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cornell-offers-person-color-exemption-flu-vaccine-requirement
Will this hold true for the COVID vaccine? The Magic Eight Ball says “yes.”
I’m casting about for my own exemption from the COVID shot, I’m hoping scarcity and a mostly “behind the scenes” job work in my favor, because I have a distinct lack of color.
I don’t have a problem with the exemption, just the unequal treatment. Maybe keep some vague Warrenesque Native American family history in your pocket if nothing else works I guess.
I figured students of color were going to move to the head of the line for that one. I dunno; it’s hard to keep this stuff straight in my head.
One of our new hires, a really nice 18 year old fellow who rides dirt-bike to work, found out I was once in Army and gushingly thanked me for my service. I hate that shit from all angles. The I find jingo-twanging patriotism off-putting at best, I’m troubled by the idea that paid warfighting is looked upon as noble and selfless, but most of all, my service consisted largely of
rum, sodomy, and the lashdrinking to excess, keeping my squad from being chewed out, and trying to bed ideologically addled co-eds from UC Santa Cruz. So… you’re welcome?It’s just some young guy trying to be nice and maybe ingratiate himself a little bit, he’ll wise up.
Indeed. I wasn’t cross at him specifically, just the whole veneration of the military thing.
Thank you for your service 😉
My greatest contribution was preventing an airman from paying for damage to a 40ft trailer by “loosing” the paperwork. Seemed stupid for some enlisted guy to pay when the pilots caused much more expensive damage to aircraft and weren’t held financially responsible.
Thanks for nothing.
My goal: trying to keep military equipment effect, robust, repairable, and cost-effective.
My contribution: none of the above . . . I’ve always worked for huge, stupid multi-nationals . . . so your truck sucks.
Would Garand approve of this X? No fucking way, buddy, but it’s profitable. Can you field-strip it and get it running again? Pffft . . . . abandon in theater and run like hell.

Of course.
If you can not afford it, you will be allowed to sell the ammo to the government for $0.05/$0.10 per round for pistol/assault rifle respectively, or it will be confiscated.
