Bandicoots can talk again
They whisper of terror trampolines
And torturous analogies.
Now it doesn’t make sense but I’m not to blame.
Listen to that rain!
It’s the sound of buck-passing
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
It’s just that your sentence RE: USA republican is equally applicable to the vast majority of Democratic politicians
Bernie’s running baby - get the ■■■■ in
This is normal… if you are in the mafia.

Sadly there is nothing much better to watch at 2am in the morning.
sorry wrong thread
Still of sounder mind than most of them but yeah, cause for concern. I’d be more worried about the same ■■■■ happening as happened last time. It’s not just dumb white rights who are all or nothing with their vote.
Among the many joys of the Trump Era is the knowledge that if it is cold somewhere, odds are the President of the United States will crow that it’s proof climate change is not real.
Yes, the world’s most powerful man has, over and over again, treated the fact that it’s cold outside as evidence that the idea the planet is getting warmer is not the result of decades of work by hundreds of scientists across dozens of countries, but is in fact a hoax cooked up by the Chinese. Like the views of Senator James Inhofe, who once threw a snowball on the floor of the Senate to disprove a global historical phenomenon, this operates on the premise that climate scientists say it will never again be winter.
A dangerous cold front is sweeping the midwest this week, so it was time for another Official Message from the President uniquely calibrated to once again make the whole world dumber.

In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Waming? Please come back fast, we need you!
This man is allergic to books. He is so deeply incurious about the world you wonder how he’s learned to navigate outside Mar-a-Lago or his golden apartment in the sky. He is, quite simply, the Dumbest Man Available, and we made him president. This is another piece of red meat for the reactionary Base, whose only goal is to maintain power with which to ■■■■ off liberals. His aides will pass it off as a “joke,” despite the fact that this attitude is reflected in his administration’s policy. It is particularly ■■■■■■■ infuriating because we learned just this month that the oceans are warming faster than we thought, Antarctica and Greenland’s ice sheets are melting faster than we thought, and in general, the climate crisis is likely even worse than climate scientists—who are actually fairly conservative in their public messaging—were previously willing to say outright.
We can explain how climate is not the same as weather. We can run through how 2018 was hotter than any year on record, in terms of global temperatures, except for three: 2015, 2016, and 2017. We could mention how 2018 was the hottest year on record for the planet’s oceans, and the previous hottest ever was 2017. The top five hottest years for ocean temperature have occurred since 2014. But what’s the point? Like the phony Republican concern about the national debt Trump has opted to completely ignore, he honestly does not care because he’ll be deadwhen the ■■■■ hits the fan. It’s just reactionary bullshit, and Stephen Colbert put paid to it years ago better than anyone.

Global warming isn’t real because I was cold today! Also great news: World hunger is over because I just ate.
Someday, we’ll just have to tell our kids we didn’t do a damn thing—and, in fact, sent a guy named Wells Griffith to an international climate conference to advocate for burning more coal—because we elected The Big Dumb President, and that’s just the way it goes.

Yep.
Angry (like me).
It will be interesting to see how he goes with other progressives in the field, and when he’s not the only “not Hillary” vote.
I don’t know if anyone has been following this. It’s farking hilarious though.
I wish I could see through to laughing at it. It just tends to make me mad about the damage this kind of thing does.

Yes. Hardly something to laugh at.
He got two Nigerian brothers who worked for him to pretend to be white MAGA supporters. Police found the bleach, rope and masks from the “assault” in the brothers’ home. Also found was the magazine used to cut out the death threat sent previously that didn’t get enough air time.
Dumb, counterproductive and absurdly moronically amusingly stupid.

He’s a terrible person, who got his comeuppance. It’s hilarious to watch.
Imagine if the cops had detained two innocent white guys in the area.
What would he have said?
Would he have identified them as the attackers?
How far would this lunatic have taken it?

US officer ‘planned terror attack’

A US Coast Guard officer has been arrested on suspicion of planning a terror attack, court documents show.
Police found a cache of weapons and ammunition at the Maryland home of Christopher Paul Hasson.
The self-proclaimed white nationalist had drawn up a list of targets including prominent Democratic politicians, according to prosecutors.
He is said to have drawn inspiration from the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik.
“The defendant intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country,” US District Attorney Robert Hur said in the court documents.
“The defendant is a domestic terrorist, bent on committing acts dangerous to human life that are intended to affect governmental conduct.”
Prosecutors said that in a draft email from June 2017 Mr Hasson wrote: “I am dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth. I think a plague would be most successful but how do I acquire the needed Spanish flu, botulism, anthrax, not sure yet but will find something.”
US media say the 49-year-old is a lieutenant at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington and lives in the Maryland suburb of Silver Spring.
The Coast Guard confirmed that a member of the service had been arrested but gave no further details.
Fifteen guns and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition were found in Mr Hasson’s basement flat along with illegal drugs, the attorney’s office said.

A list of possible targets included Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer as well as media personalities including MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and Joe Scarborough.
Since 2017 Mr Hasson had studied parts of a manifesto by Anders Breivik on how to amass firearms and compile a list of targets, prosecutors allege.
Breivik murdered 77 people in 2011 in two terror attacks. He killed eight people with a car bomb in central Oslo and then shot dead 69 others, many of them teenagers, at a Labour Party camp.
Mr Hasson was arrested on Friday on weapons and drugs charges and is due to appear in court on Thursday.
Wow
“Even by our appallingly low standards, this guy is a complete maniac.”
