Oleg is certainly not a uniter – hell, they named an entire two thousand mile wide division in Saturn’s rings after him. ---

Lovecraft the pulp writer of the twenties aqnd thirties, burying a corpse face-down was an indication that the corpse was the worst kind of witch, and woe befell those who turned them the “right” way and unstaked them from the casket. The Wikipedia article on Burial says ‘in some cultures, being buried face down shows marked disrespect.’ I’ve heard that the Sioux would bury unliked people face-down to prevent them from getting to the Afterlife. But I like the flag pole idea. ---

Yep. Let’s not make the DOJ political and dare to attack these poor, innocent GOPsters: [Trump blasts Sessions over indictments of two of his earliest congressional supporters](https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/03/politics/donald-trump-jeff-sessions-justice-department/index.html): > [@](#): > > President Donald Trump on Monday blasted his Attorney General Jeff Sessions and lamented the indictments of two lawmakers who were his earliest supporters in Congress during the 2016 election, suggesting they should not have been charged because they are Republicans. > > “Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department,” Trump tweeted. “Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff…” Translation from Trump–It’s not my fault when these seats are lost! It’s not that these guys might be corrupt. It will be Jeff Sessions fault! ---

It’s true. A man with three buttocks would have only two assholes. Imagine your toilet paper budget doubling. And the use of a bidet would be simply out of the question. I propose, however, that Trump’s ass is capable of encompassing FOUR buttocks. ---

Fred Guttenberg, the father of Parkland shooting victim Jaime Guttenberg, went up to Brett kavanaugh during a break in the hearings and put out his hand, identifying himself as Jaime’s father. Kavanaugh pulled away and turned around and walked away.
