Plus, you’re not really retired if you’re still doing the same sort of job for free.

A group of teenaged boys wearing Team Mitch t shirts posted a photo of themselves molesting and choking a cutout of AOC. Mitch’s campaign manager says, basically, “Boys will be boys.”
Way I see it, Hannity is treading water furiously, trying to stay ahead of “Buttfucker” Carlson in the Trump adoration race. Bet he dreams of Rachel Maddow and wakes up screaming. Prolly not, but I’m just gonna go ahead and think it anyway.
He understood that he had to make it clear to his fans that he didn’t mean one single word of it.
(Mission accomplished, I’d say.)
The one where he’s married to her is particularly frightening to him.
I for one can’t wait for the day his neck finishes swallowing his head. I hope it happens when he’s on the air.
Something like this?
Don’t most people emphasize their own name when reading a block of text[del]s[/del] out loud?
Busman’s holiday should not be how the public is protected. Also, ISTR somone posting a thread about “civilians pretending to protect” someone. This latest “idea” would work no better than those morons’ so-called [del]presidenting[/del] thinking.

Awesome; thanks for introducing me to the term!
You mean when those militia idiots thought they’d go stand guard outside the National Guard places a few years back?
Also, how in the world would every floor of every school and mall and courthouse and “pretty much anywhere the public is” be staffed with “retired police and military” during the whole time the public is there?
If there are about 2.2 military retirees in the US, and let’s say 1 million police retirees (based on the stat of three-quarters of a million sworn police officers in the US), that’s under 3.5 million people. Assume that as many as 2 million of them are sufficiently physically fit, competent, and willing to spend 15 hours per week guarding public places (which is probably a significant overestimate).
Schools and shopping malls in the US add up to about 250,000 locations. Add in about 25,000 public parks and courthouses, a few thousand Walmarts, a few dozen thousand supermarkets, some hundred thousand fast food places, about the same number of libraries, a few thousand theaters and stadiums, all the public transit stations and vehicles, about 350,000 places of worship, and we get “pretty much anywhere the public is” amounting to at least one million separate places where you need at least one public guardian.
If you’re going to guard all those places for a very conservatively estimated average of 60 hours per week, at 15 hours per week per individual you’re going to need 4 million individuals even to assign one to each location, and never mind “every floor of every school”. The entire police and military retiree population you’re looking at doesn’t even have 4 million individuals.
And all these folks are supposedly going to do about one-third of a full-time job, a potentially very responsible and dangerous job, just in exchange for saving a few thousand bucks in taxes? (Which in the aggregate is still several billion dollars, not an inconsiderable sum in public revenue.) And so are all the people who schedule and supervise them?
And finally, we’ve seen in the recent events that a mass shooter can still murder multiple people even if he’s neutralized in less than a minute. This whole scheme is insultingly unworkable and irresponsible fantasy from beginning to end.
So a typical Republican idea?
No problem; it’s one of my favorite terms.
Has anyone posted about this: Prosecutor: Man body-slammed boy after national anthem snub? Click on “view reactions” and you will see a “reaction” from your humble Monty, aka Chip, at the top of the top reactions (last count: 171 replies, 1590 up-votes, and 162 down-votes). And, yes, I’m absolutely sure the moron who assaulted the kid is a republican.
Can somebody explain what all of this means? Cyber security expert Chris Vickery says that an internet provider, advertising itself as subpoena-resistant email, is physically located in Russia. And that Mitch McConnell, Newt Gingrich, Ben Carson, and other Republicans, are using their services.
So, I’m not entirely sure, but one concern, as you point out, is that the Russian hosting company would be under no obligation to obey a US subpoena. So if McConnell, et al., are up to no good, this limits the ability of US investigators to get evidence. Second, the fact that it’s in Russia means that it’s easy for Russian officials to get their hands on the contents. So, whatever the Republicans are writing about with those email accounts, they are more concerned about Americans seeing it than they are about Russians. There aren’t many innocent explanations for that.
Also, hypocrisy and all, but no one cares about that.
I’m having trouble believing this.
Not that I would put it past them, just seems too obvious.
I can’t think of any way this isn’t treasonous and therefore too obvious.
Who’s going to do anything about it?
Don’t even try to tell me that today’s republican party is not nazis:
How long before they trot out this as their emblem?
Nebraska ?! That’s not even vaguely Southern, is it ?
I find this aspect amusing:
If only he’d waited another year, he could have slammed the punk and gotten a slap on the wrist.
