What/when was the fuckbarn?

Yeah, but I still want to see what could be vile enough to get banned from a thread that posts Ramirez, the McCoys, and Lester every day.

EDIT: ^^^^ I vaguely remember the ranch. How long was that going on for?

Secretary John Carey’s Great Work in The Middle East

Iran has long been a known State sponsor of terror in the Middle East and responsible for throwing gas on the fire of the Iraq insurgency that killed and maimed so many American Warfighters.

It’s our opinion that American leadership should take some time to reflect on the core values that made America great, and start thinking twice before sacrificing the very values that make America a great country. When we start cutting deals with both Iran and the Saudi Kingdom with no long term strategy in sight, where is the advantage? Lifting sanctions against Iran and granting nuclear hall pass was a bad idea. Saying Iran will not pursue a nuclear weapons program is like men saying they read Playboy magazine for the articles only.

Also, ignoring human rights violations in Saudi Arabia among other things makes you wonder where the moral compass points to in Washington these days.

Peace in the Middle East? Not any time soon unfortunately.

Speaking of which, surprised at the lack of "Obama is a wussy girl for crying" cartoons.

Samuel Clemens posted:

The cartoon is a reference to Bowie's 69th birthday and the release of his last album. The fact that he died two days after these events is just a tragic coincidence.

Kevin O'Leary, who is kind of like a bargain bin Canadian Donald Trump, recently went all Doctor Evil and offered to invest one million dollars in the Albertan oil industry if the newly elected left wing premier of Alberta would just take all the blame for the oil crash and resign her office. Now he's considering running for the leadership of the federal conservative party.

Trump is almost tailor made for the Joe the Plumber crowd, but can he get the votes, or the nomination he needs?

A Business Insider article shed some light on a Russian initiative to spread their propaganda online through the use of “troll factories” at a national Internet research center.

Business Insider posted:

Employees at Russia’s Internet research center work for 12 hours a day in three-person “teams” spreading Kremlin propaganda online, according to a former employee interviewed by Radio Free Europe.

Workers at the St. Petersburg “troll factory” are tasked with clogging Russian municipal websites and forums with pro-Kremlin comments. To make their comments seem independent and legitimate, employees are given separate “roles” they must play while maintaining their online personae.

Their roles are designed as such so that private citizens reading the website see the anti-government “villain” ganged up on and shot down immediately with the “facts.” The “team” sits together, and few spoken words are exchanged as they work furiously to meet their daily quota of 135 comments.

Navigate Internet forums at your own risk, and beware the Russian propaganda trolls.

A recent oversight report from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction stated that “the Taliban now controls more territory than at any time since 2001. Vicious and repeated attacks in Kabul this quarter shook confidence in the national-unity government. A year after the Coalition handed responsibility for Afghan security to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), American and British forces were compelled on several occasions to support ANDSF troops in combat against the Taliban.”

In light of Obama’s end to formal American combat operations in 2014, the Taliban is stronger than ever in Afghanistan.

I wonder how Tom the Dancing Bug is going to respond to this. The strip loved to make fun of Scalia, depicting him as a comic book-type "hero".

Okay, I've been skipping over this cartoonist for the past few weeks, because the cartoons were pretty boring, but I've been noticing a trend now:

It's like if Horsey was a younger woman who couldn't draw very well.

In fairness, the specific complaint is that Obama filibustered Alito's nomination in 06, when he was a senator. Ramirez is a hack but he's not factually wrong here, just very unclear.

Case in point: The last week of Day by Day has all been about how Zed now has an army of robots. Well, not an actual army, more like a squad because there are only three robots right now. But I'm sure he'll have an army eventually. Also, the fuckbarn is being turned into a barbecue restaurant. None of this has anything to do with politics, but it all makes Obama mad for some reason.
