Shhh. Don’t tell anyone, but I try always to do that. If someone nominates a post of mine here, then I feel their impeccable taste and good judgement deserves that like.

Ron Watkins, suspected of being Q, moving to Australia after humiliating defeat in Arizona

Brave Sir Qanon ran away Bravely ran away away When failure reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes Brave Sir Qanon turned about And gallantly he chickened out, Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave Sir Qanon

Biden should pardon Trump, says WaPo's Jason Willick 

Could be useful as a trap. Biden (to his cabinet): I proposed a partial pardon to Trump. Cabinet: WTF, are you serious? Biden (to his cabinet): Nah, I just want to steal his thunder and get under his skin. Of course we won’t pardon him for the January 6th insurrection and his violation of secrecy of the National Archives Classified materials. I just want to use his playbook on political pardons against him. I believe we could provoke him into admitting some additional details of his misdeed…

Trader Joe's cursed licorice "Gourmet Jelly Beans"

Sure, but you’re looking at a picture of them side by side there. What if there’s only one left in the bag, without the other to compare it to? Could you be sure? What if the lights were low? What if the lights were low and you were with your beloved, and they sweetly and seductively asked you to feed them a grape jelly bean, and you lovingly placed on their tongue a licorice one inadvertently? It could be the biggest mistake you ever made!!! IT COULD BE THE END OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP!!! Y…

Murder charge dropped against cop who shot Taser-wielding black man in back as he fled arrest

“In the latest ruling, police issue ammunition has been categorized as “non-lethal”; and anyone who choses to dies after being “incapacitated” by a police firearm, will be charged with causing emotional stress to the arresting officer. This ruling is open to interpretation based on the melanin level of the target.”

Interesting, thoughtful stories

I had one of the shooting victims interviewed in that article when they became a college student. It was incredible to me how normal the kid was, considering. But they went on to dedicate their life to trying to stop that stuff from happening again.

I don’t often put site author’s posts on the #NeedsMoreLikes thread, but when I do…

Girl wanted to keep a goat she bought from a county fair. They sent cops 500 miles to seize it and drag it off to be slaughtered

Also consider that they turned down the money, knowing that they would still have to give her the money it sold for. Fairs only keep a modest fee, maybe 10%, of the sale. So there was no monetary loss for the fair. This really was just about teaching the girl a lesson. The snag for the fair is that they sent out cops to enforce their contract instead of going through the courts. This shows that their whole interest was in making sure the goal was slaughtered, irrespective of its ownership or …

The Gallery of Just Plain Assholes (Part 1)

You’re sitting in a meeting, and your wife texts you, and it pops up in the corner of your glasses. “Wishing I could be with you. I hate this meeting. There’s no reason for me to be here.” You want to respond, but you don’t want to pull out your phone because that’s kind of rude. I mean, if it were acceptable to be on your phone you would have been this whole time, because there certainly isn’t anything in your meeting that you need to pay attention to. So you use a “virtual hand” to text back.…

Judge tosses Trump’s performative lawsuit against Hillary and the DNC

I think the phrases “what you just said doesn’t have anything to do with the subject at hand” and “what you provided as evidence doesn’t support any of the conclusions that you made” apply to 95% of the verbage falling out of Republican politicians’ mouths these days.
