@TimStone I... what

That first half was "oh wow, that's great to hear", and the second half was just pure "wtf"

too many national-scale internal nonsense things are happening and I hate it lol

jesus christ

@Wipqozn tbf, I hear he's in a bit of financial trouble

On a related note, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (CW: sex/language; about Elliot Broidy)

Ah, surprise twist in the homeless veteran and the couple that blew the money tale; GoFundMe is giving him the money as part of their campaign legitimacy "guarantee"

That's why I keep my dynamite on the top shelf

@TimStone so the jerk couple got away with stealing $400k?

I mean they had blown it already, not sure if GoFundMe can try and claw it back from them having now paid out of pocket/what other recourse they might face

@TimStone wtf holy shit

insecure much?

> In addition, Broidy allegedly told Bechard he had prostate cancer and that he was unwilling to have his prostate removed “because it would stop him from having sex, which he told her was more important to him than life itself.”

this is just wat

> They argued that purported facts about Broidy are protected by his constitutional right to privacy

hmmm, GOP likes that roe established a right to privacy and not the rest of it

@TimStone yeah this is also a big "why do you keep sticks of dynamite next to your candles?"

> the woman was looking to light a candle in her home at about 9:30 p.m

why do you then have dynamite in your house?

like even if you worked with dynamite, why would it be allowed to leave the site?

🤷🏼‍♂️

@TimStone In, "This is why you don't do that" news...

@TimStone once again place your bets folks

which one will we do first

thestar.com/news/world/2018/09/07/…

Damn it copy function

> Trump warns he could cause the ‘ruination’ of Canada

This is definitely something you say to one of your closest allies and largest trading partner (a trade where you have a huge surplus). Yup, yup, yup!

I wish I found that one first

It copied all nicely

In unrelated news:

> A consumer commission in India has ordered Air Canada and partnering airline, Jet Airways, to pay a Canadian family about $65,000 Cdn. The money is meant to compensate the family for the "mental agony and harassment" they suffered when Air Canada ordered them off a flight.

> According to Mittal, her 11-year-old daughter Teesha threw up due to a bad smell on the plane. Cabin crew said Teesha was unfit to travel and ordered the family to leave, stranding them at the airport. Mittal's son Rivansh was just three at the time.

> The Punjab State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission — which functions like a court — was scathing in its ruling. The family was "forcibly de-boarded from the aircraft on flimsy grounds" and left at the airport with no offer of food, water or even access to a phone, said the commission in a written decision.

Good, because fuck airlines

@Wipqozn I wouldn't mind getting thrown off a flight for 50,000 EUR (which is what 65,000 Canadian dollars exchanges to) because I threw up

although the circumstances themselves are probably not fun at the time itself

Consumer protections need to be far stronger than they are.

This practice of overbooking flights and offering measly compensation when you get bumped needs to stop. Airlines wouldn't do it if it wasn't profitable.

> Riot just sent out an email to hundreds of people without addresses obscured

wew

@Unionhawk i'll bet $100 dollarydoos that he'll say it's fake news and another $50 dollarydoos on him blaming the leakers for this

You think if we got a block of ice and a lamp we could convince him climate change was real and a threat?

@TimStone need to be an ice bust of Trump

@Frank Agreed

🤔

Not even security, like the actual "let me scan your ticket before you enter the jet bridge" part

Yeah, it's really gross :(

I'm glad that they were able to share their stories, even though I suspect the practice will continue on religious exception grounds anything that can be done to dissuade people from putting their kids through that helps :/

I don't even know

@Unionhawk It depends on whether he talks to Kissinger or Bolton last

Does it?

I'd put Kissinger on Venezuela, Bolton on Iran

I mean both would do both but in order of preference

That's a whole lot of nope from me my dude

Yeah, imagine trying to throw that out there instead of just blame the person who made the original comments

@TimStone Technically it's ephebophilia, which is also illegal and not at all related to homephilia

blinks

Did, ok

@TimStone oh ffs

@TimStone jfc this is awful

@TimStone ugh they are so bad at this, they are going to get people killed

@GodEmperorDune status-bydesign

@Unionhawk sad but true

That one Charlie Kirk fake that says something like "how many south americans does the CIA have to kill"
