As we boggle at dueling realities, listen to the Soothing Sounds of Social Justice

Via Zilla, who posts less than I do and probably has more readers and surely more commenters. I’d take it personally but I have a low opinion of people.

I had a bunch of these from yesterday but everybody’s posted some of them. Like the Evergreen deal that is lefties freaking out over people noticing their previous freaking out.

Oh well, let’s see if I can salvage any others.

 

More Anonymous Sources Telling Us What Trump Says When They’re Not In The Room!!!!!! The Gold Standard Of Journalism!

 

Man, this NYT piece has enough juicy morsels to satisfy the most Trump-loving nationalist or the most Trump-hating Democrat. Their nexus: Contempt for Prince Jared, who’s suddenly out of favor within the inner circle. And not just because of his Russia follies.

He can’t be fired, of course, as he’s part of the family. The only solution is to exile him and have Ivanka unite the continent by marrying Justin Trudeau.

Gold is yellow after all.

Dougm had the Mattis vid from yesterday and adds this vid with this Harris Faulkner question

If it is in fact true that Jared Kurchner (tried to set up a back channel)… wouldn’t that signify that there is no collusion? Why would you need a back-channel if you already have collusion?

She’s one of the last real journalists in this world. I’m still pissed off for her that she has to say, “Megan McCain, what do you think?” at least once a day. That’s just cruel.

 

You have to love people like this.

But Republicans in the age of Trump have sadly moved away from morality as a viable concept.

Yes, Gianforte’s assault is a glaring display of toxic masculinity in an environment made particularly toxic by the man in the White House and his media bullying

Wait, no you don’t. You should point, laugh and shun them.

We’ve been taking shit from you and your favored groups for 10 years now Mr Blow, you might want to ask yourself why much of America shrugged and some even chuckled when they heard a GOP candidate body-slammed a ‘journalist’. You really should ask yourself that question. And then maybe tone down all the cheerleading for anti-fa thuggles.

 

Trump’s trolling China now.

That’s funny. “Your bitch is making you their bitch but it’s not your fault you’re all weak and shit.”

 

When I first saw this I thought Putin would be saying, “Hey! That’s my schtick!”

Mystery as two North Koreans are found dead in the same Moscow hotel after BOTH suffering ‘acute heart failure’ as two more are rushed to hospital

But then I started to wonder if Putin did it. I doubt we’ll ever know who did it.

There’s a lot of shit going on between Russia, China and the Norks that we have now idea of. It’s hard for them to work together since Russia and China have never been friendly and the Chinese can use Nork craziness for their plausible deniability against Putin just as well as us.

 

A question that appears fairly obvious to me. And fucking annoying.

What Happens After ISIS Goes Underground

A little history, ISIS branched off from al Quaeda and became a country. They are a strong horse even as we’re beating their asses.

So what happens is that ISIS starts doing what al Quaeda used to do, what ISIS is doing better (worse) than al Quaeda ever did. They’re getting crazy people all over the world to blow up their part of the world and any nearby infidels or insufficiently similar Muslims.

This should go without saying, but it’s all Trump’s fault because of his hateful rhetoric.

 

In Breaking Bombshell News!!!!!!!!!!

The U.S. government is expanding a cybersecurity program that scans Internet traffic headed into and out of defense contractors to include far more of the country’s private, civilian-run infrastructure.

As a result, more private sector employees than ever before, including those at big banks, utilities and key transportation companies, will have their emails and Web surfing scanned as a precaution against cyber attacks.

Oh wait, that was from March, 2013.

Well this is Breaking Bombshell News!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had the Senate Intelligence Committee been permitted to use pseudonyms for the central characters in its report, as all previous congressional studies of intelligence failures, including the widely heralded Church Committee report in 1975, have done, it might not have taken a painstaking, and still somewhat cryptic, investigation after the fact in order for the American public to hold this senior official accountable. Many people who have worked with her over the years expressed shock to NBC that she has been entrusted with so much power. A former intelligence officer who worked directly with her is quoted by NBC, on background, as saying that she bears so much responsibility for so many intelligence failures that “she should be put on trial and put in jail for what she has done.”

Instead, however, she has been promoted to the rank of a general in the military, most recently working as the head of the C.I.A.’s global-jihad unit.

Oh wait, that was December 2014.

This one, This One is Breaking Bombshell News!!!!!!!!!!

A federal judge on Monday ruled that the government’s collection of data on all U.S. phone calls is likely unconstitutional, comparing the National Security Agency (NSA) program to George Orwell’s 1984.

Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., granted a request from conservative activist Larry Klayman to block the NSA’s phone data collection

Oh wait, that’s from December, 2013 and since it was a judge telling Obama what to do, it meant absolutely nothing.

 

Isn’t there any Bombshell Breaking News!!!!!!!!!! that’s not old, lies and/or from anonymous sources?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liberals Are Shocked That We’re Starting To Hate Them Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We conservatives have been warning for a long time that liberals are not going to like it when everyone plays by the new rules, and – surprise! – they don’t. But guess what? Most of us don’t like the new rules either. Yet it’s ridiculous to expect human beings to remain in perpetual denial about the situation they face, and to forever live under a double standard that results in their faces getting pressed into the dirt.

The hypocrisy has become intolerable, and we have stopped tolerating it. This is just the beginning of the reaction, and – make no mistake – this entire situation is a bad thing. Our society is making choices that can lead only to ruin (and my new novel describing the consequences just dropped).

But we’re the Washington Generals in the long-running movie, Their Reality.

We’re supposed to oppose them and then run away when they bang their sippy cups extra hard. It’s as if we haven’t read the script!

We’ve warned them and warned them but they didn’t pay attention. They were too busy trying to hide violence from lefties while trying to blame their violence on The Right! Like the violence at Trump Rallies.

 

In I  NY news, Safe Act Too!! This Time It’s Even Saferer!!

The prohibition would apply to pistols or revolvers manufactured twelve or more months after the effective date of the bill. Design features could include the capacity to adjust the trigger resistance of the gun to at least a ten pound pull, the capacity to alter the firing mechanism so- that an average five year old child’s hand would be too small to operate the gun, or the capacity to require a series of multiple motions in order to fire the gun.

Why 10 lbs? Because it’s Science!!!!!!!!!!! How big is an “average five year old child’s hand”? Oh, we’ll let the lawyers figure that one out! And if you’re a gun maker with deep pockets, I’m gonna guess your dimensions for an average five year old child’s hand will vary somewhat from a cash-strapped NY jurisdiction’s dimensions.

What does “series of multiple motions” mean? Again, we’ll let lawyers siphon money off of gun makers….figure that out!

Now, it’s never smart to assume any brains by any NY pol, beyond the cunning required to convince a little old lady that she needs to fix her gutters and if she gives you $5k today, you’ll take care of it tomorrow, but is this a way to make it so nobody can sell guns in NY?

California and Mass guns are tough enough, having to figure out what they mean and then make them for one, niche market, well, that’s just stupid.

And of course the police will be exempt. Because in Dem fiefs their serfs deserve fewer rights.

 

Nothing major, just lefty eating lefty at lefty event.

Filmmaker Sofia Coppola has become the first women since 1961 to win Cannes Film Festival’s Directing Prize.

You would have thought Coppola’s award- for her female-centric remake of 1971 civil war drama The Beguiled which starred Clint Eastwood- would generate widespread applause on social media given the fact she is an outspoken feminist and all the attention paid to the perceived under-representation of women directors at Cannes in recent years.

You might think that, but today’s left isn’t really known for making any sort of sense. Even by their own rules.

 

The plot of the movie-a wounded Union soldier who takes refuge an all-female Southern boarding school during the Civil War- doesn’t immediately evoke an aura of white privilege.

I hate to break it to you HeatStreet dude, but the Civil War is the definition of White Privilege. Even the Union Soldiers. Even the Union Soldiers who signed up exclusively to fight slavery. Geez, it’s as if he doesn’t read the NY Times or watch CNN.

Sofia Coppola’s new movie feels like she was just like “how can I possibly fit the largest number of skinny blond white women in this?”

Most importantly, it wasn’t R rated, so it’s probably not worth watching. They’re  fully clothed, skinny blond white women. Not a boob or tasteful lezbo scene anywhere.

Can’t we judge people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin?

I know, that’s all racist and shit. But I’m kind of a recidivist.

I do look forward to the porn version of it. I wonder what they’ll call it, the Defiled maybe?

 

imadenier wished for a kaganer gnome, not realizing that, since gnomes have jumped the sharks, there is a gnome for every occasion.

I’m a little unsure if I should have helped him.

I have to wonder if he lives near this poor woman

For Martha Horne, the rotund faces and pointy red hats of her cherished garden gnomes always brought a smile.

The Leduc grandmother was heartbroken when, one stormy night last week, three of the plump dwarves were stolen from her front lawn.

It doesn’t say if she had any kaganer, Star Trek or Pulp Fiction gnomes, but I still wonder.

I will say it’s funny how often rule 34 wins.

Garden Gnome Gangbang was actually the least objectionable gnome porn I could find. Amazon even has at least one gnome sticking Little Pointy out.

Semi-related,

news broke on Monday that Pornhub is reporting a rise in searches for fidget spinner-related erotica on its website,

Fidget spinner porn.

Fidget spinner porn?

Fidget spinner porn!

 

Let’s end on a little bit of awesome.

12 gauge and 1911: Two great things that go great together!

It goes Boom!
