    I’m going to link an article as an example of the point I want to make here, even though this article is probably already a FR link. It’s from the LA Times: Transcripts: What the mics caught Donald Trump saying in 2005 and what he said in his taped apology. And it’s very nasty - not because it doesn’t tell the truth, but because of how it lies with the truth. It slams the transcript of Donald 11 years ago directly in to the transcript of his apology, same text, no visual or layout breaks. In other words, it very...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for attending this press conference on such short notice. I will be brief. Yesterday, the Director of the FBI made quite a remarkable statement, followed by a recommendation to my office concerning his investigation into the use of private, unsecured email servers by the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. I would remind everyone that Mr. Comey does not have the authority to prosecute Mrs. Clinton. Only my office has that authority. Only I make that decision. And, as I mentioned over a week ago, I agreed to accept his recommendation. What few realize, however,...

    <p>I was verbally assaulted - and “assaulted” is, I think, the proper word here - by a middle-aged female Hillary supporter yesterday. It was quite a remarkable experience, like witnessing someone having a psychotic break, complete with rolling eyes, waving hands, rapid wall-talking, fantastical discussion positions and plenty of snarling personal insults - all while I barely said a word except to indicate, initially, that I was a Trump supporter.</p>

    STANFORD, CA (WCMH) – A group of witches unsatisfied with the sentence of former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner gathered Tuesday for a mass ‘hexing.’ The organizer invited more than a thousand people to gather at home altars and recite the following: Brock Allen Turner we hex you. You will be impotent You will know constant pain of pine needles in your guts Food will bring you no sustenance In water, your lungs will fail you Sleep will only bring nightmares Shame will be your mantle. You will meet justice. My witchcraft is strong. Our witchcraft is powerful. The spell will...

  • [Vanity] Trump & the Real World

    I think this video clip sums up a lot of what people like about the Donald. After reading the thousandth claim that Donald didn't understand the Colorado rules by people who couldn't see the bigger picture of Trump exposing the very rules-lock the GOPe uses to STAY the GOPe, I remembered this scene from this movie. Trump is played by Paul Newman. The GOPe is played by the big guy with the knife. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Leadership Knife Fight
  • The Tao of Trump

    03/17/2016 6:46:50 PM PDT · by Talisker · 12 replies
    One of the most famous ancient symbols in the world is the symbol of the Tao. It is round, black and white, and has a basic image of two fish chasing each other's tails in a circle. Most importantly, each fish has a tiny eye of the opposite color at it's thickest point. Donald Trump is the white eye in the black fish. The symbol of the Tao is based on an ancient observation, that our world is made up of opposites. And more, that when one of the opposites gets the upper hand, it brings the seed of it's...

    Little Johnny comes down to breakfast. Since they live on a farm, his mother asks if he had done his chores. "Not yet," said Little Johnny. His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores. Well, he's a little pissed off, so he goes to feed the chickens, and he kicks a chicken. He goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow. He goes to feed the pigs and he kicks a pig. He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal. "How come I don't get any eggs...

    The independent mayor of Warren, Michigan, said he was threatened with expulsion from Sunday night’s Democratic debate in Flint if he did not quiet down his support for Sen. Bernard Sanders. “There is a great contrast between the Democratic Debate and the Republican,” he continued. “In the Republican Debate anything goes and the audience is free to speak, shout, boo and say whatever they want to. It’s almost pure democracy mixed in with a little anarchy. However the Democratic Debate is totally controlled by Hillary’s good friend DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. No commentary is allowed by the audience. Particularly...
  • Trump’s Exaggerations Mock Political Lies

    Vanity | 2/25/16 | Self
    A lot of anti-Trump people have pointed out innumerable exaggerations Trump has made, and continues to make, and note that otherwise careful FReepers just blow these off and give him a pass. And, being a somewhat surprised Trump supporter (I first felt he was a really obvious Perot2, but no longer), I notice I do it too, and I wondered why. After all, the guy is running for president, so it matters what he says. Then I realized it - I give him a pass because he's mocking political lies with his exaggerations. Hillary will stand there and tell you...

    The Devil and the Liberal Once upon a time a man was walking along a road with the Devil. As they walked, another man entered the road at a distance ahead of them. After awhile, the man in front stopped, bent down and picked something up and examined it. Then he placed the object into his pocket and kept walking. At this, the Devil laughed and said, "oh excellent, very good, wonderful!" The man walking with the Devil asked him, "Why are you so happy? What did that man find on the road?" The Devil replied, "That man found a...
  • Hillary Clinton Has The Most Statistically Improbable Coin-Toss Luck Ever

    DES MOINES, Iowa - One of the most bizarre details to emerge from Monday's Iowa caucuses was that in six Democratic counties, the ownership of six delegates was decided by a coin flip. A single delegate remained unassigned at the end of caucusing in two precincts in Des Moines, one precinct in Ames, one in Newton, one in West Branch and one in Davenport, The Des Moines Register reported. In all six instances, the coin toss was won by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. There may have been more coin tosses, but those are...

    Historic Mysteries ^ | JULY 26, 2011 | Shelly Barclay
    Judging by a real artifact, the sword in the stone legend may be partially based on true events. No one pulled a sword from a stone and went on to become a king, as far as we know. In fact, the sword that exists in reality rather than legend is still stuck in its stone. However, there is no denying that such a sword exists. The stone and sword in question are located at Monte Siepi Chapel in the San Galgano Abbey in Tuscany. The abbey is in Italy and the history of it has naught to do with England....

    In the wake of a mass shooting in San Bernardino that claimed the lives of at least 14 people on Wednesday, Gov. Jerry Brown canceled annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Capitol. Though the tree was still illuminated at 5 p.m., the evening ceremony did not take place, "out of respect for Californians affected by today's tragedy," Brown said in a statement.

    If mankind had never burned any coal, oil or natural gas, atmospheric CO2 levels would only be 30 to 50 ppmv lower than the current ~385 ppmv. And... There's no evidence that anthropogenic CO2 emissions have caused any warming in the last decade. The Earth has not warmed over the last 11 years. Or in the last thousand years
