And I think we won the Cold War.
Again.
I see at the IB that Chris Cornell, the singer from Soundgarden, died. RIP, as Sobek says, he was a damn fine singer. I was a classic rock guy until the 90s and got into alternative rock. I figure it was because they went back to rock and roll’s roots: heroin.
I always figured spoonman had something to do with cooking up some heroin. I could be wrong as it doesn’t really seem to mean anything intelligible, sorta like your average junkie.
Well, there’s maybe a little of the 90s, but it’s the funny part.
1990, Crackhead Mayor of DC, Democrat Marion Barry, sez,
The enraged Barry muttered over and over, “Bitch set me up . . . references to the woman who lured him to the hotel…
Flash ahead to 2017 and a different minitrue outlet is saying the Bitch Set Him Up!, and it’s hilarious.
…girl who had exchanged sexually explicit text messages with former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) lied about her age and political motivations to harm Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to a report by the investigative news site WhoWhatWhy.
Hey, that’s our schtick! sez the Wash Post.
Who’s WhoWhatWhy? They’re a non-partisan, internet website that only looks to get to the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s look at their totally trustworthi- and non-partisaniness!
Fighting the Koch Brothers for Transparency in South Dakota…Vigilance Is Needed to Fight Net Neutrality Rollback…Closing Borders and Ethnocentrism Unite Trump and Hungary’s Orbán…Trump and Evangelicals, the Culmination of an Unholy Alliance… (and my personal favorite last, recall that Comey’s replacement is a Friend Of Hillary V)…WWW Exclusive: Felix Sater Links Trump to Comey’s Replacement
Yeah. They’re the gold standard in minitrue journalism, they hate all the right people.
It’s funny how often bitches be setting up Democrats.
Before we get on to ignoring Comey, something that has me confused. First, notice the URL, nation.co.ke, you know our fine lefty idjits at The Nation here would love that url. Cuz nation.lsd is taken.
Second, this.
The United Nations has accused Ukraine of defying an international embargo on South Sudan and supplying the country with weapons.
At first I was all, “Yay Ukraine!” South Sudan needs to be able to fight back against their fine, tolerant, slave-raiding, murderous neighbors to the north, but then I read this.
Meanwhile, sacked army chief Paul Malong returned to Juba on Saturday, saying he never intended to wage war against President Salva Kiir.
“If I want to rebel I can do it in Juba. If I was about to fight I would fight here,” he told reporters upon his arrival in the capital.
President Kiir dismissed his powerful, hardline army chief on Tuesday last week.
Malong, long regarded as an ethnic nationalist of Kiir’s majority Dinka tribe, was replaced by Gen James Ajongo Mawut, a career soldier.
Will whoever gets those weapons be loyal to the new country that just doesn’t want to be enslaved and murderously dictated at or loyal to the slave-raiding, murderous dictator or is he trying to become a whole nother murderous dictator?
I hope it’s option A, but that’s not usually the way to bet in this world.
In more Comey free news, Obstruction Of Justice!
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with “consequences” for holding equipment that she says belongs to her in order to build a criminal case against a Pakistani staffer suspected of massive cybersecurity breaches involving funneling sensitive congressional data offsite.
Oh wait, that’s non-Trump-related. That means it can be safely ignored cuz Trump said something stupid!
Okay, just a little Comey. CNN has The Scoop Of The Millennia! Nother, totally accurate, memo that they’ve been given! They’re not just reporting on what some dude told them!
Well there’s no arguing with that!
News We All Knew!
the 22-year-old British man believed to have killed 22 people in a suicide-bomb attack, had ties to al Qaeda and had received terrorist training abroad, a U.S. intelligence official told NBC News…
…had traveled to Libya within the last 12 months, one of multiple countries he had visited, the official said. And while he had “clear ties to al Qaeda,” the official said, (dead terrorist) could have also had connections to other groups…
The U.S. official said Abedi’s bomb was “big and sophisticated,” using materials hard to obtain in Britain — meaning “it’s almost impossible to see he didn’t have help.”
It’s funny how EUnuchs noticing reality so soon is reason for applause. They’ll never know his motives, but at least they’re this far along.
The worst part of the episode.
Members of his own family had even informed on him in the past, telling British authorities that he was dangerous, according to the intelligence official.
There’s no excuse for Known Wolf. Especially when his family sez it.
What a difference an ejection makes.
I love the look… smirk on Trump’s face.
Let’s Trump!
CNN has him now!
I was going to link a Trump’s Budget Is Gonna Kill Us All!!!!!!!!!!!!! articles, but there are so many out there it’s hard to choose just 1,465, so do a search for “Trump’s Budget” and read the headlines.
Or, you could read this.
President Donald Trump’s budget proposal this week will include provisions to end many foreign military grants administered by the State Department and replace them with loans, a move that could affect up to $1 billion in aid to dozens of countries if Congress approves, U.S. officials said.
An internal State Department memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal names Pakistan, Tunisia, Lebanon, Ukraine, Colombia, Philippines and Vietnam as among countries that could be affected.
I’m for most of that. Why are we giving money to Hezbollah?
Alternate headline, Twitter Co-Founder Apologizes For Free Speech!

His headline is more subtly funny, I’m more direct usually.

Democrats in America think it’s okay to attack their enemies. Not just okay, but required.
Most people, when they want their congressional members to hear their dissenting voices, send a letter, drop an email, leave a voicemail.
Democrats? They threaten violence.
Our fine betters have been othering normal Americans , their plans are finally coming together.
I wish them well of it.
The Democrats’ allies in Venezuela are a little further along in their plans.
Crazy, 37 second long video I can’t embed showing a bunch of guys, wearing black, riding black motorcycles going from left to right throwing stuff and firing long guns behind them and then you see a bunch of just people chasing after them.
Venezuela is just ugly and all our fine media betters are fucking ignoring it.
I did think of one way Maduro could use those surface-to-air missiles, he could give them to FARC and they could shoot down a US drug-interdiction plane.
If your country’s going to shit, why not start a war with America?
It can’t hoit!
Teach your children well!
It used to be that the Simpsons was where you went to see the hilarity of our society, then Futurama came along and showed us the future was gonna be ridiculously funny too!
Yeah, I thought I was a little light on links so I’d throw in some filler.
In my defense, all everybody is talking about is whatever fake, Comey news they’re spewing today. I just can’t take it some days.
I am just an old hillbilly. Spoon playing is drumming. Usually some jug blowing involved for backup.
Of course, these things get repurposed. Kazoos made damned good hashpipes, back in the day.
Forgot the one stringed bass. Never could get the hang of that. Probably involved musical skill.
I was really kicking it on the Victorian pump organ. Lots of bells and whistles.
The only recordings that exist are from the punk rock phase. Small fan base.
Probably should have kept up with the accordian lessons. Watching old farts collapse from a hard night of Bingo, Vodka, and Polka is kind of like old punk concerts.
Oh, I know spoon playing, I’m just not so sure those junkies know that you can use spoons for something besides cooking heroin.
Meant to say, Italian families have at leàst one kid who can play accordion.
I love the Tarantella. It gets some drunk Italians going.
The sad face on my cousin Paul was just icing on the cake. He hated being trotted out.
… the 90s … when i first experiennced political gaslighting …. the clinton chicago political machine on the international stage…
But now Trump’s doing it to them!
That’s awesome.
Aww man, the Chris Cornell thing still bums me out. His vocals were amazing.
