Is it available as a transcript? I don’t have any idea who LP Donovan is, and only a vague idea about Lou Dobbs, so I need some backstory in order to get the humor.
You know regarding registered sex offenders, I think we should just drop the pretense and require all of them to have “I am a sex offender, hate me” tattooed on their forehead so they can be hounded from town to town with pitchforks and torches. :rolleyes:
The person reporting the CLIP FROM FOX NEWS doesn’t need identifying. The only thing that needs identifying is that it’s Lou Dobbs, from Fox News, attacking Paul Ryan. I don’t know what backstory you need.
Maybe this deserves its own thread, but this is some prime stupid.
Presumably because he wants to run for the Senate and not have to swim upstream against “you are a criminal, fuckhead.” Most disturbing, though,
Someone is actually considering it. DoJ, yeah, they are the dubious executive branch agency. I think it takes a sitting judge to vacate. Can this happen? And can an 86-y/o vinegaroon realistically get elected to the Senate for the first time?
“Vinegaroon”?
Do you not know what a vinegaroon is or are you asking how it relates to Arpaio?
(If it’s the former, a vinegaroon is a non-spider arachnid that’s incredibly ugly, scary-looking and shoots acid out of its butt.)
I assumed it was like… an octogenarian is an old fart who’s over 80, a vinegaroon is an old fart who’s so old he going sour.
I thought it was a new rude word for Italian-Americans.
No, that would have to be a “balsamic vinegaroon”.
TIL the word (and the creature) “vinegaroon”. Ugly little buggers, ain’t they?
In retrospect, I’ve come to the conclusion that Arpaio’s lawyers are being funded by the Trump party to advance the notion that if the President gets in with his pardons fast enough, the people who accept his pardons won’t have to admit to being guilty or carry any stigma from pardon.
ETA: also did not know about vinegaroons but appreciate the metaphor. So glad I live in the Snow Belt.
We got 'em in one of the local zoos. They not only look freaky, but they smell – the source of their odd name. From your cite:
This is kind of a drive-by…I was informed this a.m. by an elderly man that Trump’s electoral commission has conclusively proven that Hilary Clinton stole the state of NH in last year’s election. He was very excited about it. I’m in NH and I know something is wrong with this story; I just don’t know what the point of this is.
Six thousand people registered to vote the same day of the election, and 1,500 new drivers licenses were issued. He apparently thought they were illegal immigrants ported in to vote for Hillary. It actually turned out to be mostly college students whose homes are out-of-state and didn’t want to travel to vote. Some of them had to get NH drivers licenses as valid ID.
Does Trump even know that he can’t deport American college students?
I think that would be offensive if it were coherent.
Looking at the dude’s picture the tweet kind of fits. The picture has obviously had the kaleidoscope eyes photoshopped out.
Nope. Fuck that. Kill it. Use fire.
Damn. Well chosen insult.
