I get mental health care from the medical equivalent of Skillcraft.


Because some of you either:

A - Have a fundamental misunderstanding about the press
or
B - Find it necessary to break everything because you are a god drat mentally challenged neanderthal..

I closed the previous thread and made a new one. Stick to the god drat news and if you want to have a loving slap fight over dumb poo poo, take it Here.

When we last checked in with actual news...

North Korea built a rocket that can actually hit the US. But only Alaska so its not like they are going to hit anything of value outside of Polar Bears. Which frankly will make me more upset than hitting actual US citizens.

Tillerson getting even more angry about staffing.

Trump supporters are loving stupid. Think the Declaration of Independence is a call to revolution against the Moron Mango.

Cops crash a party. Don't shoot anyone.

The US finally learns what happened to Amelia Earhart, a few decades after the Marshall Island natives told them.

"She persisted, we resisted" is good because it reminds American voters of the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, who continues to enjoy widespread popularity.

"I mean, have you seen the other guys?" is also good because it explicitly reiterates the passive, negative messaging of the 2016 election, which paid dividends for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket

On the other hand, "Make Congress Blue Again" is nice because it really hammers home the point that the Democratic party has no message, not even four original words.

But I've gotta say my favorite is "Resist & Persist," with its tone of resignation and implied acceptance of the status quo coupled with that cursive ampersand evoking an invitation to a gay wedding in the Hamptons. (Not to mention that eye-catching yellow!)

maybe?

quote:

In October 2010, an expert on cultural property law retained by Hobby Lobby warned the company that the acquisition of cultural property likely from Iraq, including cuneiform tablets and cylinder seals, carries a risk that such objects may have been looted from archaeological sites in Iraq. The expert also advised Hobby Lobby to review its collection of antiquities for any objects of Iraqi origin and to verify that their country of origin was properly declared at the time of importation into the United States. The expert warned Hobby Lobby that an improper declaration of country of origin for cultural property could lead to seizure and forfeiture of the artifacts by CBP.

Notwithstanding these warnings, in December 2010, Hobby Lobby executed an agreement to purchase over 5,500 Artifacts, comprised of cuneiform tablets and bricks, clay bullae and cylinder seals, for $1.6 million. The acquisition of the Artifacts was fraught with red flags. For example, Hobby Lobby received conflicting information where the Artifacts had been stored prior to the inspection in the UAE. Further, when the Artifacts were presented for inspection to Hobby Lobby’s president and consultant in July 2010, they were displayed informally. In addition, Hobby Lobby representatives had not met or communicated with the dealer who purportedly owned the Artifacts, nor did they pay him for the Artifacts. Rather, following instructions from another dealer, Hobby Lobby wired payment for the Artifacts to seven personal bank accounts held in the names of other individuals.
