Oh look, it's exactly like the last time. Can't we do what we do in mathematics, just consider that a solved problem and not do it again.

The only good news is that from the sounds of it, like in Venezuela, Trump is too chickenshit to actually commit to a war and that may very well be the only thing that saves us.

Which means that Trump will soon have a stroke and die, putting Mike Pence in the White House.

The bombing will start 30mins after he's sworn in.

I always thought they'd go after Chipotle since they have a rip off chain called Sipote there.

But would they go to an Oma chain or a Crepes y Waffles if we had them?

quote:

A police officer in Colorado has resigned after confronting a black student picking up rubbish outside his shared accommodation.

John Smyly questioned and followed Naropa University student Zayd Atkinson near his home in Boulder.

"I don't have a weapon! This is a bucket! This is a clamp!" Mr Atkinson says in a video taken by a neighbour.

Officer Smyly drew his gun and called in back-up during the confrontation in March.

Under a settlement with the department, Mr Smyly will stay on the city payroll until February 2020.

The Associated Press reports he will earn benefits and a salary during this time and will be compensated for any unused holiday he accrues.


Boulder Police Department's investigation found Mr Smyly had violated the department's rules on police authority, public trust and conduct.

The officer "did not have authority to detain Mr Atkinson", the department wrote in their report. "The subject officer did not have probable cause to charge Mr Atkinson with any crime."

Kinda giving away the game there because Toadstool Dick is too stupid to stick to the script and keep the quiet parts quiet. Right now Team R is crowing about their magnificent, bipartisan, totally reasonable good faith effort at immigration reform they have proposed which mean old obstructionist Democrats have decided to unreasonably hate and not reach across the aisle to them and work towards good government.

Don't buy the bullshit. Not even for a minute.

Ya know what's missing from their proposal? A proposal. It's all flowery bullshit speeches playing up how reasonable Team R is and how terrible the other guys are and how much this system is horrible let us fix it with our obvious good intentions.

This is what a public relations campaign looks like. It is not a good faith proposal for a solution, it is a PR campaign. When actual proposed legislation comes out we'll see whatever horrific poo poo they actually want as red meat for their base, because it is always about the base. All of this is PR to get public understanding of the issue to gel around, "OK Republicans have a good idea, let's see what Democrats do."

This reminds me of the way lil' ben shapiro tried to refute Andrew Neil saying the US left had good popular ideas whereas the right had none and all he could come up with was "well we have a very lovely debate of ideas" without ever naming anything. That's par for the course in trumpland though, it's always been him playing up mundane interstitial routine poo poo to make it seem like he's busy when it's all going on without much if any involvement from him.

poo poo like "we are monitoring <thing> closely," tweeting about every phone call with a foreign leader, holding press conferences about letters, etc. All presidents hold signing ceremonies, but they don't go to the press after a loving phone call unless it's about the US setting up a humanitarian or military response to a disaster or threat. Even then it's usually a broader press conference about the response itself with a couple questions thrown in about "have you talked with <foreign leader> since <thing>?"

/\ Tabatha is usually spelled Tabitha, too. White people indeed.


Well that makes me feel better about my last cat only making it to 10.

In cat news, my adoptive stray didn't like Eleanor for a name, so it's back to Beans. I can trust beans on the patio, doesn't try to escape. Also drools like a fountain in luvin mode. Putting on a little weight so the ferret look is fluffing out. Even tolerates Frank with minimal bitching now.

I need a cat that can make me millions of dollars.

If they didn't think to invest in sending that cat to Korea and cloning it, for all the money it's made them, then they're not doing capitalism right.
