9:01 PM
I do kind of feel like if it turns out she was not escorted from the grounds the person responsible should be kicked in the shins
Like, if she had been they should have known by virtue of seeing her being escorted from the grounds?
 
own the libs by concocting stories the media spends all day chasing down
 
@GodEmperorDune This but unironically.
 
Man banned from Disney World after sneaking in pro-Trump banner — again http://hill.cm/fI8fa1P
 
@Yuuki yeah very poe's law
 
That's amazing, imaging paying for Disney World for that. My mood is extremely the person next to him
 
9:06 PM
@TimStone saaaaaaaaame
 
@TimStone Everyone blows up about it not realizing that Disney doesn't like it when you sneak anything into the park and onto the rides.
 
Indeed
 
> But he claims the park, which prohibits "the usage of any flag, banner or sign to incite a crowd," contacted him several weeks ago to tell him he was no longer banned and he agreed to stop installing political flags.

"And I wanted to actually abide by their rules, and not hold up a flag to incite a crowd, but I kind of wanted to test them," Cini told the news station. "I just really wanted to find out whether or not it had to do with unfurling a flag, or what was written on the flag."
dude toeing the line upset when punished for crossing it
 
Anything that's not clothing taken on the rides is something that could get loose and cause injuries.
 
parks like disney have the ultimate weapon of being able to just declare someone as trespassing so like yeah
 
9:08 PM
I remember getting frowns for taking one of their gift shop bags onto a ride in Disneyland.
 
lol
 
Granted this was several years ago, they might have gotten more strict since then.
 
@Unionhawk libertarian dream, imo
 
it is also a misdemeanor in the state of ohio to not comply with safety related ride operator instructions
@Yuuki man, up here we just give people "please secure all loose articles, anything lost while riding can not and will not be retrieved until the end of the night if at all"
Some are strict though, depending on the layout
 
i lost a phone at six flags back in college
pre-iphone days
but i liked that phone
 
9:13 PM
With a greeter directing bag-havers to the lockers outside the ride
@GodEmperorDune at Kings Island's Diamondback built 2009, there is a box full of destroyed phones in line
 
i should've left the phone in the locker but i was emergency contact for a group back then and didn't want to be out of contact for the entire waiting in line period
 
This is why most stations have per train bins
I can only think of a couple that don't
And one of that couple is decommissioned effective end of season 2018
 
pre-iphone days (aka pre phone addiction days), i don't think it was that common a use case that they had bins back then
 
9:30 PM
Sources say president has "retreated into a cocoon of bitterness and resentment."--> https://twitter.com/EliStokols/status/1062446554508943362
donald my dms are open
 
@Unionhawk extremely same
 
also buddy same
 
So, we're supposed to.... what? Feel bad for him?
 
@BradC yeah i'm not emerging from my cocoon of bitterness and resentment to do that
 
I am merely reporting what the sources say
 
9:34 PM
i also saw a story that they now block parts of his schedule for "policy time" during which he is supposed to do work and i just could not even
 
@Unionhawk I assume the hidden takeaway here is that he'll emerge a new, even more unhinged butterfly
 
@TimStone bitterfly imo
 
@GodEmperorDune As opposed to, what was the euphemism for "watching Fox news and tweeting hate", oh, "executive time"
 
@BradC exactly lol
 
9:36 PM
now every time other than "policy time" is for watching fox
 
> President Donald Trump had about three times as much free time planned for last Tuesday as work time, according to his private schedule. The president was slated for more than nine hours of “Executive Time,” a euphemism for the unstructured time Trump spends tweeting, phoning friends and watching television. Official meetings, policy briefings and public appearances — typically the daily work of being president — consumed barely more than three hours of his day.
 
@GodEmperorDune lol, I'll accept it
 
@BradC wow
 
"wahhh, people are actually challenging my lies! Waaahhh, voters are smarter than I thought! Waahhh, I'm not actually an emperor!!!"
(Unfortunately, he's a whiny crybaby that still has control of the US military...)
 
@BradC too coherent imo
 
9:43 PM
@GodEmperorDune Yep, lolsob
 
more likely he is just generally upset and will not do any sort of introspection to figure out why, he will just lash out
like firing a bunch of people
such as jeff sessions
 
@GodEmperorDune Yep, like a angry cornered rodent or something
 
@BradC upset toddler smashing the toys is my go to visual, but yeah
 
I can't wait to be in the streets in support of jared kushner or whatever
 
@Unionhawk gofundme completely filled by Mister Bone Saw
 
9:46 PM
You know what would make him happy?
 
say what you will about him at least he's not adviser on everything idk, finish this joke format
 
Hiring AG Chris Christie and forcing him to eat meatloaf
Let's make it happen
 
@TimStone his parents loving him as a child?
 
That doesn't sound nearly malicious enough
 
@TimStone getting borderline fatphobic there
 
9:48 PM
I mean I don't know what Trump's deal with making Christie eat the meatloaf is, honestly
 
@GodEmperorDune this was, as I understand it, a thing that literally happened
 
oh shit what
 
Yes
 
my mistake
 
lol, it's fine
It's very weird!
 
9:48 PM
what teh fuck
 
Granted, it may be a fatphobic thing for him
But it's really important that Chris Christie becomes AG and by some grace of god is forced to indict Jared Kushner
It's far too hilarious and absurd not to happen
Probably not for anything meaningful, we'll just find out that Kushner sold secrets to the Saudis or something totally unrelated
 
read some old stories about it and it doesn't really make any sense
what the hell is the point of it
 
I reup my idea of funding all kinds of financial crimes task forces
 
so goddamn weird and controlling
 
As far as I can tell it's just a kiss the ring thing
Rand Paul: "We need a bipartisan issue to unite us. Saudi Arabia is that issue" http://hill.cm/fMWWps5
Rand Paul is just all over the place
 
9:51 PM
@TimStone yeah thats the most charitable i can come up with
 
This is an op-ed by him saying we should come together to stop arm sales to the Saudis
 
@TimStone tbh the bipartisan issue should be the neighbor's side in the lawncare dispute with rand paul
 
NEW: Former employee says Miami real estate billionaire and ousted Florida Democratic Party chair Stephen Bittel: -tried to take her lingerie shopping -fat-shamed her while pregnant -described his porn preferences -displayed "lewd taxidermy" in his office https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/stephen-bittel-lawsuit-former-florida-democratic-party-chairman-sexually-harassed-employee-andrea-molina-10908306
@GodEmperorDune Strong agree
 
@TimStone abusers get in the sea
 
@TimStone If you get to that last one and go "Wait what", yes, you did read it right, and yes, it is absolutely a stuffed Chihuahua with "grossly large testicles"
 
9:54 PM
> ...sexually harassed a female employee by describing his sexual partners' pubic hair, describing his pornography preferences, offering to take her shopping for lingerie, and touching her toes on his private jet, according to a new complaint filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.
 
But yeah just 12/10 trash person into the sea
 
bro what the fuck
> He frequently referred to himself as a "sapiosexual," or a person sexually attracted to intelligence.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
@GodEmperorDune ... it does seem appropriate for Florida that an incel would be a party chair.
 
Speaking of op-eds, lol
My latest Op-Ed: Will Dems work with us, or simply put partisan politics ahead of the country? https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-mitch-mcconnell-will-dems-work-with-us-or-simply-put-partisan-politics-ahead-of-the-country
Buddy
 
@Yuuki i mean the misogyny is right up there with both this guy and the incels
@TimStone cocaine mitch, please go back to narcos memes
that avatar is making my blood boil too, something about his face
 
user15026
10:03 PM
@GodEmperorDune I totally consider any time someone says they're sapiosexual that it's just code for "I am actually an asshat"
 
@Ash yep, pretty much
also "hmmmm you're sapiosexual and yet you happen to only be attracted to conventionally attractive women"
 
user15026
It's basically elitist garbage
 
yes that is the phrasing i was reaching for and missed
 
@GodEmperorDune It's not enough that you might not be attracted to someone, you also have to imply they're not smart because you're not attracted to them. It's incredibly egocentric.
 
10:12 PM
@TimStone Of course, "putting partisan politics ahead of the country" is, to him, opposing any part of the Republican's evil schemes
By definition
 
@Yuuki yeah i didn't even think of it that way
 
10:26 PM
Upon being asked to leave a St. Petersburg Red Lobster, a drunk Florida woman allegedly grabbed a live lobster straight out of the tank and bolted https://grb.st/2QFdQXR
florida woman!
 
> She denied knowing its location to the police.
 
@GodEmperorDune remind me of that Mystery Diner's Episode with the bus boy who was all into animal welfare who was stealing lobsters and putting them out to see. and after being fired they saw him on camera trying to steal more
 
@Memor-X i mean unless you are taking a boat out and putting them back gently where they were fished from, i'm not sure how well they will survive that
 
10:45 PM
@GodEmperorDune all the kid was doing was wading out into the shallows or putting them on the beach where the waves come in
 
@Memor-X yeah pretty sure those lobsters aren't going to make it
but thought that counts, i suppose
 
10:56 PM
Maryland calls on federal court to replace Trump's acting AG with Rosenstein http://hill.cm/6PrkQwY
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, that would piss him right off
 
@Memor-X i don't think this is a thing that can be settled with a lawsuit
 
@GodEmperorDune from what i reading and understanding it's not. it's a motion they made during another lawsuit
i'm not all over it but i assume the lawsuit would go to the acting attorney general which trump wants it to be Whitaker
 
@GodEmperorDune well if it is then we can surely trust the courts
they weren't packed with the help of senate minority leader deals
 
@Unionhawk i like beer - J.K.
 
literally all you needed to do was have one person not campaigning sit and deny unanimous consent
 
11:07 PM
nra spokesperson dana loesch is shocked, SHOCKED, about the black good guy with a gun killed when the police arrived later
 
@GodEmperorDune Shocked, I'm sure. And a strong statement is sure to come soon, just like it did for Philando Castile
 
11:22 PM
 
I'm on a boat heading from Marina Del Rey to Malibu. #WoosleyFire
this is a nice thread about a rich guy with a boat shuttling supplies into fire hit areas near LA
 
Democrats will soon control the subcommittee with oversight of voting rights. That subcommittee is currently led by GOP Rep. Steve King. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/georgia-governor-race-voter-suppression-stacey-abrams_us_5beb4455e4b044bbb1a9e1bc?ncid=engmodushpmg00000004
I'm sorry he heads what now
 
@TimStone the 14 words subcommittee
> House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice
oops, 9 words
 
Amazing
 
there goes that joke
 
11:26 PM
I mean I know they don't care but like, have some self-respect
Of course he did. https://www.apnews.com/885a44ac27944976ab1b6738e0c5ba38
(Whitaker abandoned taxpayer-funded project in Iowa in 2016)
> a process server for one contractor could not even find Whitaker or his company to serve him with a lawsuit.
> Whitaker is expected to return to his home state Wednesday to speak at a conference at a downtown Des Moines hotel
Good news
 
@TimStone hiring the best *trump thumbs up*
 
It does say that he seemingly put some of his own money into it, so it's not necessarily that he tried to scam people, it's just that he's horribly inept
That classic quality which you look for in an Attorney General
 
@TimStone either way is a thing trump is very familiar with
 
Indeed
THE MUELLER EFFECT: Public relations firms that had never previously registered as foreign agents are doing so now, partly because MUELLER has been digging into unregistered foreign lobbying, legal & PR work. With @MattGoldstein26: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/13/business/jho-low-1mdb-influence-campaign.html
 
@TimStone lololol
mueller's comin
(if you missed that refrance, i highly recommend you to watch the wire)
 
11:32 PM
@TimStone So, companies skirting the rules are now toeling the line, with the threat of actual consequences.
 
@Frank who knew that enforcing laws made other people want to follow them?
 
It's funny because heavens know we'd never actually clean up this mess but I'm glad they think so
 
@GodEmperorDune High time, especially for those close to the levers of power.
 
@TimStone for a few years at least
 
GOP lawmaker calls for rule change allowing committees to elect their own chairmen http://hill.cm/Z4glHNX
Hmm, this is interesting, I'm not sure what to think
 
11:37 PM
@TimStone gut reaction is that this will lead to more wolf in the henhouse type behavior
or if all the white dudes on the GOP join with the few white dudes in the dems to select a white dude and not a non white and/or non dude
also interesting that the GOP wants to take away one of the huge levers of power that the speaker of the house has, right after they lose the house and the speakership goes back to nancy pelosi
 
The whole way committees are designed and assigned is confusing to begin with
 
Yeah and what's fun is that some DSA chapters also take this strict Robert's Rules read on committees lol
some, just Philly wants to, you know
