Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he would accept a blowjob from Trump in latest Sacha Baron Cohen trap

I’ll say it again; I’ve never cared for Cohen’s kind of humor; I didn’t like Borat, or Bruno, and I hated Ali G. That said, if his show helps expose the internal ugliness that some of our so-called leaders harbor, then more power to him. Apario is a horrible excuse for a person, and hopefully this embarrassment will not only keep him from gaining an office in 45’s cabinet, it will make him fade away from the public eye, for good. Lastly, the saying is ‘punching up or punching down’, not “kic…

Seattle nazi one-punch knocked out, reportedly removed armband when he awoke

Now I say this as a German with a german point of view. I love this .gif. I want to make love to it. Punching these fucks cold out should always be followed up with kicking them on the ground so that they don´t get back up. Fuck those fascist wankers. Fuck them with the business end of a rake. They still exist here in Germany, they are a cancer that never completely went away, even after they completely ruined this country. They must be confronted whenever possible. Don´t give them a chance …

Majority of young Americans distrust capitalism, embrace socialism

What’s not to like about capitalism? I mean, sure, it only provides significant public benefit within a delicately balanced state of equilibrium that can only be maintained by a strong, honest, business-independent government. And sure, it’s a clear public disaster for services where the cost of a even single failure is catastrophic, like healthcare, police, prisons, fire departments, armies, nuclear power, and so on. And sure, there are plenty of wealthy individuals who will corrupt its meaning…

…to the point where the word “capitalism” is almost indistinguishable from “divinely ordained feudal monarchy.”

But what’s not to like?

Doctor guilty of raping heavily sedated patient in hospital gets no prison time

I’m not sure that a jury of his peers legally means that he gets a jury of rape apologists.

So fucking relevant…to so many threads…

Caucasian Ovcharka determines child lacks skills necessary to play at beach

Are you sure that’s not Mouse? You know, Harry Dresden’s pupper.

John Green is a Fortnite Pacifist

Strictly speaking, his unconventional definition of pacifism is what’s more commonly known as non-aggression. [Grammar%20Cactus]

Senator John McCain is dead

True. Decent people fought in Vietnam because of the draft. Decent people have joined the US military for economic reasons. Decent people fought in Iraq because by the time they noticed it was wrong, it was too late to leave. And decent people find in all kinds of wars because they never noticed it was wrong, or because they genuinely think what they are doing is right. Sometimes that is true. Sometimes it is not. I’m not saying they’re bad people. I’m just saying they shouldn’t be thanked for…

Meat vending machines in New York

I do the same except with avocados.

In-context, this is fine. Out of context, this is sublime.

Someone pulled their dick out: 2022 Grammy winner Louis C.K. and the #MeToo movement

This is the moment that strikes me: when the male relative pulled his dick out, she froze. It’s completely understandable. That’s because we women have been given no tools to deal with such things – despite the fact that they are commonplace. Really freaking commonplace. For every newsmaking Louis C.K. dick-exposure, there are probably 500 that don’t make the news. Most of the time, we either freeze, or hurry away. We don’t call police, because, really, what’s the point? I’ve been clearly i…

Bernie Sanders' new bill will force companies to reimburse governments for low-paid employees' welfare costs

And let’s not forget the macroeconomic factors. In general terms, wealthy people spend some of their money, then hoard the rest. In contrast, poor people spend all of their money, because they have none to spare. Money in motion is the economic engine; consumption drives productive growth. When you raise wages, ordinary consumers have more to spend. This in turn drives sales, which in turn drives production, which in turn drives employment. The basic consequence of this is that a dollar in t…

After Nike hires Colin Kaepernick for ad campaign, conservative halfwits destroy own property to own the libs

First off, let’s clear the air. I have been discussing this firmly but fairly. Please don’t embellish. I have not insinuated anyone is a half-wit, stupid, or mentally impaired in any way. We’ve both been BB members for quite a while, so please afford me the fairness I have afforded you. But I don’t think you understand why I do. Bear with me, because I’m putting a lot of thought and effort into this post. First, let me lay some groundwork: Generally, I believe much of the problem stems fr…

After Nike hires Colin Kaepernick for ad campaign, conservative halfwits destroy own property to own the libs

You know what offends me? Dead children offends me. People trying to pretend like it’s not a problem offends me. People putting a piece of cloth above the lives of children offends me. Veterans with serious mental health problems being ignored by the VA and an administration that is clearly trying to gut and privatize the VA offends me (considering my father, step father, and both grandfathers were all veterans). You’re welcome to not like CK mode of protest (which, as others have pointed out w…

Confederate flag fan Andy Hallinan explains what the Civil War was really about

Fun fact: portions of farm accounting to this day are directly a result of having slave labour. So the fact that the South’s economy was so heavily farm-based (with pl}antations essentially being factory farms, not the small, bucolic myth they like to present), and slaves were treated more as equipment… Slavery was undoubtedly the biggest thing. It’s kind of like the resistance to regulations – especially those combatting big-money crimes. Slavery was tied into the Southern economy much the way…

Thank you @orenwolf for ending that headache on a good note.

Texas board of education tries to erase Hillary Clinton from history

This topic has meandered far away from “Is Hillary Relevant” into some sort of bizarro-world version of itself where the question became “Is she relevant only because she is a woman?” Given the history of political power in the US, you almost think they should title her section “Look how far she got, despite being a woman!”. May our grandchildren wonder why the hell we cared so much about skin colour and gender.
