Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

It was wood alcohol. Should be ok, right?

When they say the quiet part out loud:

Guilty of murder.

So when is the next edition of the Green-Book?

Just in case you thought this might be a misunderstanding, there’s audio evidence! (From the same link.)

And the winner is suspended Police Chief Pedro Matos:

Matos has been on paid leave since July 2020, when the Union County Prosecutor’s Office took control of the department. He is suing the town to prevent his dismissal, and those disciplinary proceedings are still ongoing, although the prosecutor’s oversight ended last March.

Five and a half years of paid vacation so far.

Yep. And what an interesting name, Pedro Matos, for someone engaging in this stupidity.

Not in the news, but… I posted that there’s plenty of room at Guantanamo Bay for Trump and his cronies. My pet Trump cultist said, ‘I hear there isn’t an inch of space available at GTMO [emojis]’ I told her she needed to have her hearing checked. Anyway…

did you know GTMO was built on the site of an old YMCA, hence Trump’s theme song

I had to reply, ‘You know what that song is about… right? :joy: :pink_heart: :rainbow_flag: I guess it DOES make sense that it’s His theme song.’

She replied, ‘if that makes you happy, then I’m happy [emojis]’

Oh, the stupidity! A gay band named after a place known for it’s large gay population, wearing costumes taken directly from gay partiers and fetishists, write a song about a place famous as a place where gay men meet to hook up, and it’s all my imagination. Because since it’s her Messiah’s theme song, it can’t possibly be about gay hookups.

Eventually one or more of these crazies will target pilots with violence, or worse, try to bring down commercial jets via lasers or by other means. Jackasses like this guy will bear responsibility.

The irony of him being on the House Intelligence Committee is off the charts.

In the UK, the chief of the West Midlands police has resigned after admitting that he banned Israelis from attending a soccer match because of false information he got from Microsoft AI.

Nike is selling a pair of sneakers inspired by the site of Martin Luther King’s assassination, because EVERYTHING has to be monetized in late stage capitalism.

Does LeBron James bear no responsibility for something done in his name, from which he benefits financially? Or does he just see nothing wrong with it?

On the whole, I think this item belongs in the Evil thread instead.

They had to take their shot, right?

Okay, but, it says that location is now the National Civil Rights Museum. Any chance they were paying homage to the museum?

It looks like the National Civil Rights Museum maintains at least some of the teal door colors of the original Lorraine Motel, and Nike donates $$ to the museum, so there’s that.

The idea of primarily paying homage to the “King”, LeBron James, and secondarily to the legacy of MLK seems…off-color.

As an aside, I was there last week. It was well worth the visit, even though it’s mostly filled with depressing displays.

ICE deported a man who was awaiting trial for a $100 million jewelry heist, meaning that he’s now off the hook unless he chooses to return to the US in the future.

This may have been a little unwise…
short term boasting above actual justice

OH… it was done by a bunch of thugs to whom justice is only a concept that applies to the “right” people. And it is way easier to deport someone than run a trial.

This’ll get you on the no-fly list. Maybe the no-drive list too.

A man drove his car into Detroit Metropolitan Airport-as in, through the door, across the terminal and up to the ticket counter, crashing into it. He was seen being removed from the scene, yelling and in handcuffs, by airport police. It’s amazing no one was killed or seriously injured. Video at the link but videos of the actual crash are on social media and have a “WTF???” quality.

Awaiting word on which drugs or alcohol were involved.

Did you know that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been executed? According to my pet cultist:

DYK that Trump watched Hillary’s execution and he did not enjoy it. I doubt he witnessed Bill’s, imo

Yes, she really believes this.

:joy:

I wonder what she’d going to think the next time they appear in public & images get shared within her preferred fantasy news sources? Are those clones? Lookalike droids? Fake news fooling even her unimpeachable sources?
