Yeah this is fuct no matter who it happened under

"Buddy, we'll subsidize you into the ground"

my man googled iowa and found out there's corn

and then figured out how to work that in

lol it's like that "weapons used in paris" tweet with the baguette knife that's clearly just an item for sale at a novelty store

@TimStone the lady on the right seems super pleased with this development

@TimStone there was a dude named "Scott Free" dunking on this

i can't stop lolsobbing at this

hang on

Quotes

Q

trust the plan

1277Q

all right I'm not doing this

real galaxy brain to make the S mean a letter in the middle of the word

q=17 t=20, 37

I feel like they're just trying SO HARD to fit round pegs in square holes

37 indictments already served

hillary clinton already in jail; replaced by clone

q

HW bush murdered jfk Q in the rotunda

(those last two are real things they believe lol)

I still just don't understand who has this kind of time, I have enough other crap to worry about that I could not come up with this all

it's a nice convenient way to explain why "lock her up" hasn't happened, why the president is a deeply stupid man, and why nothing is really changing for a lot of people on a day to day basis

We are winning, in secret

Yeah but it's ...so much effort

Because the president is a genius who has already arrested everyone

Why would you post about this? Honestly, I would personally say it's some of the most pure concentrated Posting that has ever taken place

The Dinar thing is up there though

PETA

(certain segments of Q type boomers have invested their snowmobile dealership earnings heavily in the Iraqi Dinar, a currency that, as you can imagine, is basically worthless. They are doing this because they are convinced based on something the president said, that he is going to press the "revalue all currencies to be $1 each" button, and make them rich)

@Unionhawk i mean this is the right wing equivalent of #resistance gofundme grift

gofundme for mueller to send the sealed indictments to the grand marshal of the supreme court

@Memor-X lolwut

@GodEmperorDune i just.......i don't know

like i knew "Dating app for Trump supporters" was a thing but

is this website sure that the people in the pics on the main page of the site actually are trump supporters, unlike the last time this happened?

> The app also breaks traditional dating app norms by allowing users to police each other, such as reporting men who don’t pay for the first date.

brb making patriarchymatch.com

yeah this is some weird shit

clears throat

FEEEEEEEEEEEEEMALES

@TimStone what are you gonna do, quark?

> DonaldDaters launched in October for Trump supporters but faced backlash after it leaked its entire database of users on its first day. The site is marketed toward Trump backers but said everyone was welcome.

lol i forgot about the breach

yep #resistance is in on this grift too

> Political startup American Liberal Council created NeverTrump.Dating in March, "an all-inclusive, love-pairing dating site for those who oppose and resist President Donald Trump."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahah

dies

@TimStone lol is this where his typo made a url?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

the deep state is regexes actually

@TimStone lol i forgot that he was named a cybersecurity adviser

ahahahaha

@TimStone i was wondering what was going and and then i realized who's tweets they were

hell yeah

@TimStone omg

guess who's going to be the target for some angry tweeting

Wow this grift is even worse

@GodEmperorDune *facepa* ...... *find palm tree and bashes head*

Not sure if this would be legal

@TimStone actually i wonder if someone saw that g-20.in lead to no where after the tweet and so they brought the URL and made that page

They did

That person then got death threats, because this is life now

@Memor-X yeah I linked to them tweeting about it yesterday or so

twitter.com/awzurcher/status/1070163552709865473

@TimStone yay oc

> Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!

Urgh, Raffensperger won GA's SoS election

@Memor-X oops, let’s try this one

@GodEmperorDune Imagine how much higher that could have been without all those dumb voter disenfranchisement rules

Experts recommend just putting up with everyone else (onion)

Haha

Realest news I've heard all week

I'm uh

Pretty sure we don't have three decades left

but you know gotta mitigate shareholder value reduction

@Unionhawk everyone does it like that. Goals companies, governments and institutions make right now are all aimed at "we want to do X by 2050"

It has to do with the lifecycle of their ships and how quickly new technology could be developed and certified

But it's a significant promise and if they follow through it has a cascading effect

Undercutting the oil companies is the best bet at this point, tbh

Because you need 10-15 years to develop new tech and another 10-15 years to test and implement it

we have developed a new ship that runs on boiling seawater

And how does it boil the water?

or was that sarcasm?

He's saying that the seas will be boiling by then, so yes

Anyway, one of the stronger corporate statements I've seen so far. He describes it as an existential exercise, saying they need to cut out fossil fuels completely

> Maersk is aiming to meet its target without buying carbon offsets. “If you buy offsets, you are basically delaying the pain. What you are doing is buying yourself an excuse and hoping that the money you pay goes to good uses, but you are not tackling the issue at its core,” Mr Toft said.

@TimStone yeah, especially since nautical-based emissions are absolutely massive

Yeah, it's 3% global. And one of the harder problems to solve because the whole ocean thing, so no easy recharging stops

🤔

Yeah okay I'm not really sure that Afghanistan was the issue here my dude

> The proposal would also restrict early voting to no more than two weeks before an election.

I don't understand why people keep voting for the gop. They're just straight up evil.

I mean it's weird to me honestly that they didn't try to ban it outright, two weeks is better than what I get here 🤷

Although I think that's changing in 2020 or something

(and we're an entirely Democrat-controlled state)

Indeed, why would you Douthat

(cw: Cardi B music video still that's...a lot)

@TimStone so basically we want the white ruling class back in force....because they were less shitty than the current one? Wtf kind of messed up shit is that

No it's even worse lol

Apparently the current rulers are meritocratic and diverse and doing fine but actually let's have the old while men back because they tickled a certain fancy

People viewed them as legitimate but not those we have now, see, which has nothing to do with people being, you know, racist and dumb

@TimStone Man NYT has really gone off the rails

tbf that's just normal Douthat

@TimStone yay, they have a picture of the turtle wearing the hat

hes right

> The former lawmaker noted that in 1958 a survey from the University of Michigan found that 73 percent of Americans trusted the federal government “to do the right thing almost always or most of the time.” In 2017, the same study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that number down to just 18 percent.

Holy shit that's low

Also everything he says is right, but it's basically the corrupt system working as intended

Honestly I suspect nothing is going to change unless there's massive riots like in France or an armed overthrow of the government.

@TimStone ...I... think prageru is in the "education" targeted ad category and I'm so mad about that

it's either that or "online video"

That makes sense and is also complete bullshit

There either is or was a way to turn off particular videos, apparently, because I have a video from OZY, 2 from daily wire, a few others, and ads from donaldjtrump.com off

in addition to categories Campaigns & Elections, Politics, Nebraska, and now, Education

I think I'm still going to get them just based on "male 18-24" targets

god dammit

The solution is to be older

well, we'll see

I am apparently immune

is there a setting for "please do not make me listen to five seconds of ben shapiro's stupid voice ever again"

and if not

how come

@Nzall I refuse to believe he doesn't know that's not new

@Unionhawk Extreme value add, very confusing

like I know it probably costs a lot of money to put up 5 minute propaganda videos as ads, which, therefore, means youtube makes a lot of money for allowing this

but like

come on

meanwhile in the national media

They decided to keep that shit up? Ugh

the defense today is going to be awful

more awful even than hearing the victims, witnesses, and medical examiner

@Unionhawk This has indirectly reminded me of Candace O challenging Tami to Mortal Debate

@TimStone Yeah, that was either last year or 2 years ago

Note to self, filter out /r/SubredditDrama because I really don't need more reminders on how shitty people are.

@TimStone I mean, of all the bending-over, backwards-looking, won't-you-all-apologize articles that come out after someone's death, that's... certainly one of them.

God, I do not want to see the NYT op-ed columns after Weinstein's death. "Won't you think of all the good movies??!!" *endless hand-wringing*

@Nzall I remember this from last year?

@GodEmperorDune Could be, I just saw it appear on my timeline when I posted it

Yeah it resurfaced recently

> This graphic was originally aired during a “Fox & Friends” segment on 10 December 2017. The “Reason for the Season” graphic referred to a recent poll which reportedly found that most Americans wanted to put Jesus back into Christmas.

snopes.com/fact-check/fox-treason-for-the-season

Yay, how long until city council overturns it?

And more quiet part loud from the prez

@GodEmperorDune In this case it's Real because they voted on it themselves

@GodEmperorDune So just like pretty much every decision he makes, his rationale is "whatever, I'm gone by the time it's a real issue"

@Nzall yepppp, very boomer of him

@GodEmperorDune Ah, temporal NIMBY, I see.

@Unionhawk uhh that seems silly to me so why doesn't everyone skip now?

Nobody is going to pay if there is no repercussions

what do you get a ticket?

it is now up to a $50 fine, from $300+jail

It's a step to further decriminalize poverty

metro fare is $2 fwiu

hmm DC has some of the best public transport I have ridden

considering the cities size

The bus service in Steamboat Springs, CO (a small resort town) is nice because it runs through all of downtown, to condos, etc, and is free

makes staying without a rental car possible

Only thing I disliked was the metro was underground so you effectively had no internet access

🤔

@Unionhawk He's clearly joking..... right?

you gotta respect a guy who doesn't even show up to his own funeral

I forget what normal is - if you meet privately with someone to express condolences do you usually then turn around and put out an email blast about how you met, privately, to express condolences?

I unsubscribed from the white house daily email for a reason god dammit

Of course, what do you need a subscription for when you have me?

lol "it is I, Steve Mnuchin"

@Unionhawk Looool under what circumstances?

Issuing a correction

Actually, the fwiu qualification is good enough I'm not owned

Either way, isn't it true that the fare is less than $300

and likely less than $50

xD

Not even going to dignify that

@William There are repercussions, just not associated criminal records.

I've just seen Graduating Gun Girl's response to the PETA tweet so today is now cancelled

Also, what's a worse outcome? people not paying for Metro or people entering downward negative spirals because they have a criminal record for a non-violent offense?

And again, that's assuming that the fines have no weight, which is not the case.

Amen

Charlotte Observer editorial board calls for new election in NC's 9th

@TimStone I thought she was kicked off twitter and did the door protest

that was laura loomer

who is a different person

Technically

But otherwise they're basically the same person

@TimStone I have 0 context for this and I am kiiiinda not wanting any but also wanting some

it's a different brand

campus conservative people think I'm a bad person, vs new media conservative banned 4 truth

Hmm maybe

@Ash Oh, you managed to avoid even seeing the PETA tweet? I'm not sure then 🤔

it's a more pure, started as legitimate (was the chair of TPUSA kent state and said the national org sucked ass which lol) now grift

Yeah but they both and Don Jr embody #triggered

iirc she's also the one who posted that awful essay from another member

that would have gotten a bad grade for a freshman in high school

and deserved it

Meanwhile

@Unionhawk gun girl did this or laura loomer?

the one of the two that went to kent state

@Unionhawk lol, centrists

@GodEmperorDune 3G

@TimStone gotcha

@TimStone I have not.

there are too many to keep up with

There really are

@Ash it's something like "language matters, instead of saying 'kill two birds with one stone'" etc

which is incredible on several levels

@Ash its a thing about how we shouldn't normalize animal abuse in popular phrases and offered replacements. beat a dead horse => feed a fed horse

among many others

@GodEmperorDune Horse foie gras is effed

like ok I almost buy the first half there, but the second half of "suggested replacements" doesn't even make any sense

why

But anyway yeah so she posted a video doing a ban sign in ketchup over some boiled chicken and then ate it to show PETA who's boss or whatever

While wearing a shirt that says "PETA SUCKS" which is true but also "Animals have no rights" which is weird especially since the video pans over to her cat for some reason

It's a pretty good example of why Online was a mistake, all around

eating bland food to own the libs

Indeed

@TimStone see i was against the peta thing but after 3g pulled this stunt i am now 100% a PETA SUPPORTER IN ALL THINGS

@TimStone wtf, all around

> The result, according to an Arlington County Police spokeswoman: an unruly crowd of delivery drivers inside the restaurant, trying to pick up orders, and a rash of double parking around the Clarendon area.

not even direct customers

@Unionhawk lol no way

I thought the PETA thing might've been their "meat interrupts your love life" ads that Romancelandia has been mocking

But this is even more ridiculous

@Ash they are quite good at foot in mouth online things

@TimStone yes

@Unionhawk this is antman level

@GodEmperorDune Did you see the Flat Earth Society thing?

Whom amongst us hasn't written our banking application like we would have otherwise run our bank

@GodEmperorDune Indeed.

(I mean every time PETA does stuff I just quietly sigh and go "you're not for the animals you just hate people")

@Ash Well, they consider animals people. The only problem is that they hate people.

@Ash yeaaaaaaaaaah

(I mean I know you all know that, probably, but just...thinking about their actual business practices and how they deal with animals and what their true goal is is gross.)

@TimStone wells fargo just can't stop messing up

> Or take the report’s focus on promoting marriage through the “success sequence,” which is the idea that all young people should first get a college degree, then marry, then have children in order to ensure a successful life.

uhhhhh i followed this sequence and it has not worked for me so far

@TimStone what have they done recently?

@TimStone oopsie woopsie

@GodEmperorDune this

@TimStone HUE

hello police, i'd like to report a murder

I think he might be the only person to have ever gone on fox news in a dxracer

@TimStone I don't know who they're roasting but they did a good job of it

he's a dumb gamergate type guy

@Ash antman, or ian miles cheong, is a tremendous asshole gamergater and "internet provacateur" who ends up self dunking online A LOT

@GodEmperorDune ah, one of those. Then good on you, Flat Earthers, good on you.

@TimStone I can't remember if that Twitter account is supposed to be a satire/parody account or not.

he writes for regular dangerous dot com column "the incel corner" about gamers or something

That might be past tense now though, idk

@Yuuki poe's law by now

he also happens to be a panama papers guy which is incredible

@Unionhawk as a journalist or as one of the people busted for financial crimes?

he has a shell company in panama

for some reason

as one does

@GodEmperorDune "Pick a side", like, joining the fight and duking it out on behalf of their guy?

Funny question, but I'd have to assume they'd just separate them

@BradC yeah like an all out brawl

this is a silly question that assumes that any former president can possibly be the enemy of another former president, and that they are not fundamentally on the same team

zzz

@Unionhawk i would agree except i could see trump starting a fight with the clintons and/or the obamas

I'll put down 50 on Carter's agent over Bush Jr's agent

@GodEmperorDune Okay, that's fascinating

RUMBLE IN THE... retirement center for past Presidents?

@Ash good quality leather to last 500 years

I didn't realize that his boots being thigh high would be unusual, it feels like it would make sense considering the water work, but then again, if leather was expensive, I could see that not being a thing the way like...hip waders are now

@GodEmperorDune That's one of the things that amazed me, maybe being in the mud helped that?

@Ash probably

@GodEmperorDune I'm fairly sure that the SS would choose the side of the current president

@Ash yeah i've been poking at medieval things recently (i blame GBBO doing some ancient dish which then lead me into a wikipedia tangent) and i assume that things like electricity and computers are recent but there was SO MUCH stuff that was just inaccessible to most people

like salt, spices, and vegetables

and apparently people in medieval times made sweet and sour sauce out of a wine-vinegar mixture and put it on everything and just wot

@GodEmperorDune I forget the name of it, but yes

@GodEmperorDune Remember that potatoes came from the New World.

As well as capsicum peppers.

@GodEmperorDune yeah, a lot of that wasn't a thing for people. If you haven't watched Sue Perkins "The Supersizers" stuff, it gets into some of that

@Ash oh that reminds me i have to watch that

Also she wrote another book, about her travels, so I am going to have to find that now

Sue Perkins writes books? oh no not more books

save me

falls into an endless pile of books

@GodEmperorDune You mean a verbal fight, right? Cowards don't throw fists.

@puzzlepiece87 hehe

@ToxicFrog #squadgoals

@GodEmperorDune This would have amused me more if it was a Friday but since it's Wednesday I'm going to be no fun and say BootlegGirl has never seen a protective service in action either in real life or in a movie.

@puzzlepiece87 i don't think the question was asked in seriousness, more of a subtweet of the trump sitting next to the obamas and clintons at the HW bush funeral

(media twitter is all about who is being snubbed, etc)

@GodEmperorDune True, I'm just being a wet blanket.

On a somewhat related topic, here was the Atlantic with dramatic news photos of the year, including court officers tackling a dad of a Larry Nassar victim who angrily came at him in court.

This one is kinda cool

> Robin Burbano controls the ball as he balances on crutches during a national soccer tournament for players with amputated limbs, in Quito, Ecuador. The amputee game is just taking off in Ecuador, and it has gotten a big boost from the country's president, Lenín Moreno, a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair and who was a major force in promoting the rights of disabled individuals around the world when he served as the United Nations's envoy on disability and accessibility from 2013 to 2016.

Good job Ecuador and Moreno.

But also maybe don't shelter Julian Assange.

@puzzlepiece87 yay that is cool

lol national review with the correct take on the national day of mourning like HW was a king or some shit

heartbreaking etc

@Unionhawk cancelling postal service, ugh

hope no one had meds in the mail

I for one find it disrespectful that my employer did not follow

smh

Counterpoint though I had no meetings today as a result 🤔

So who can truly say if it's excessive

eh we have a holiday party today

@Yuuki Indeed

> Even a picture of Washington Capitals wing Alex Ovechkin sleeping with the Stanley Cup was flagged. Tumblr is likely to become bereft of users in addition to porn if it can't get its act together.

> Well, in some circles....

yeah apparently Yahoo's algorithm is Really Bad

@puzzlepiece87 i mean kicking off entire communities to make it easier to sell ads was never going to go over well with users

don't worry though, the children are safe [that post that compares search results for "boob" and "white supremacy"]

@Unionhawk qwhite interesting

@ToxicFrog she has two. Her autobiography called "Spectacles" which I couldn't get in ebook so I have in physical copy, and now this new one about her travels.

After remarkable run of 26 straight successes, SpaceX has issue with rocket landing (rocket landed intact in ocean and is being recovered, mission otherwise totally successful)

@GodEmperorDune it would be more "fuck this, we don't get paid enough to deal with this kind of politics"

> Instead, it made an unscheduled landing in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the Florida coast.

lol the passive voice in this makes it seem like the stage of the rocket is a police officer that just did something terrible

@GodEmperorDune Hahaha well in fact there is a lot of passitivity? passiveness? to it!

> "Falcon9s always target just offshore for exactly the reason we saw today. The last part of the landing burn adjusts their landing point to the ground pads. This worked exactly as designed. Ditch if they can’t make it. Protect the pads."

It's so remarkably strange that there's a running joke of GWB handing Michelle Obama candy at events.

He did this at McCain's funeral as well.

So basically they're aimed (actively) at the ocean, then they (actively) try to redirect at the last minute onto the land-based landing pads, but if there's a failure they fall (passively) into the ocean.

decent fallback

@Yuuki Her smile there, I just <3

The context is that whenever the former Presidents are together, Michelle and George W. always sit next to each other due to protocol.

I would like to live in the universe where George W. Bush became the MLB commissioner instead of Governor -> President.

Also, I'd be interested in the universe where Fidel Castro joined the Yankees.

Hole found in Canada

SEND IN THE REDSHIRTS (stolen from Twitter re this same thing)

make sure to touch the lamp and nothing else

> They will consult with indigenous communities to check whether its existence is documented in their records.

Good Canada.

> The location of the cave – temporarily nicknamed the "Sarlacc Pit" in reference to the nightmarishly gruesome pit monster from Star Wars

Your Star Trek references to a Star Wars object are really stolen from RockPaperShotgun xD

Even more reason to send in the redshirts!

(RPS uses photos from the latter universe when talking about a game from the former and vice versa)

Maybe the hole is new and that's what caused that weird seismic event this week

@BunsGlazing they said its old and was likely covered by snow in the past

ffs YouTube, in what way is "Entitled Millenial snowflake gets owned by hotel owner" in any way related to "Aerial view of previously unexplored B.C. cave"

Aerial -> Ariel -> Little Mermaid -> Disney -> Liberals -> Millennials. Checkmate, atheists.

@puzzlepiece87 clickbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiit

How does youth radicalization occur? Maybe because you're busy linking videos of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to Alex Jones or some shit

(if you'll recall this is the dog Roger Stone threatened to kill, I think it was?)

@TimStone why.....?

I mean because Roger Stone is a sociopath

@TimStone You're good at root cause analysis, you should make it a career

Oh I guess he actually just threatened to kidnap it?

@TimStone even sociopaths are nicer to dogs

Seems like an accident involving a refueling plane and an F/A-18

@GodEmperorDune I know but they're just guessing

@BunsGlazing most earthquakes don't open up caves though

$750 to troll milo at dinner

lol @ "you're buying"

@TimStone 2 million + interest has to start somewhere
