- Animal is Best Column Writer in 2019.

Secret Glib Cabin in the Woods is best cabin in the woods. Didn’t even get raped and killed in it.
Well now STEVE SMITH knows about it.
I think I still claim the title of most hated article, and that was in 2017.
Suck on it, SF. You may make us lose our lunch, but we dont hate your writing!
I was thinking it was Wednesday all morning and was confused. Days bleed together without a routine. Now I want to make some hot sauce.
I hope not, I said I’d be back to work wednesday provided continued recovery from this bug.
Provided the ice doesn’t get up to Albany, either. The snow turned to something nasty down here and left everybody’s car windows with a nice glaze of ice. 🙁
Leap’s got the Minnesoda Hot Sauce recipe
Isn’t that just mayonnaise?
Whoa! Hold on there a second sport. We aren’t that bad. Mayo isn’t spicy. Now ketchup……
Miracle Whip.
*Grabs up ancient jar of Miracle Whip, flushes it down the garbage disposal*
I thought that’s the secret to Minnesota hot sauce.
Mixed with the mushroom soup.
That should have been a reply to UCS. :-p
Hot Sauce
The Number 6.
Do we know what happened to him? Last I remember he was hunkering down on a personal project, and i havn’t seen him since.
Last I heard, he was active on the Discord chat.
Can confirm. I don’t participate much over there any more but I drop in and read now and then.
I stay off Discord for the most part because I will spend all day talking to people.
Kinda like I do now, here.
Top ten lists are supposed to count down.
Having a theme and being funny are preferred qualities too, but you don’t start a #1 in a ‘top ten’. This is more of a buzzfeed format, are we supposed to not believe one of them?

Honestly, he’s only a hundred miles from frogspeakyland, where they let muppets take care of kids.
Ok, but what the fuck are yoats?
John O’Groats’ kids
its kind of the ideal breakfast for morning exercisers
200 g yogurt
1 package of Quaker instant oatmeal
1 scoop protein powder
1 teasponn of oat fiber
Mix well, let it sit overnight in the fridge, eat it in the morning.
~400 calories, 36g protein, 40g carbs, 7g fiber
If I eat it right before you get on the bus, all the carbs become available right when you get to the gym.
Let me guess what else becomes available at the gym.

^^^THIS!!!^^^ You all amaze me, and I haven’t even needed your help (knock wood.)
Well I’m the only true Libertarian because
1) I’m a sociopath and made sure to never help anyone here who was having problems. No empathy for me.
2) I’m also a hypocrite and took lots of comfort from the rest of you this fall when my mom passed away.
Sociopathy and Hypocrisy make me King Libertarian!
You said nothing about muh roadz! Not a true libertarian!
Uffda. It is always the roadz. I can never remember those.
I can never remember those.
Well duh. You are so libertarian that you don’t even think about who would build the roadz

Leon is Best Glib…
Except for Tundra and Jimbo, you mean.
I’ll allow it. ’cause I’m gracious like that.
Also i was gonna shoot for “Most Contrarian”, but knew back in January that Hyperbole had a lock in for it.
UCS is a pretty strong contender, too.
I am not a contrarian!
Oh, for cute!
I’m sure he chose Leon because 1) he’s special and 2) he didn’t have a powerful enough scientific instrument to determine which of us was the actual best and rather than have a tie went with the first alternate.
And because we are so awesome, we won’t give him a wedgie tomorrow when we see him. (And I for sure won’t replace his jar of Fourscore’s honey with some Cub generic brand honey I buy tonight).
I’m sure he chose Leon because 1) he’s special
Hey now! Who youze callin special?
*typing very slowly so Leon can keep up*
Hey buddy. How are you doing? Congrats

…and Jimbo…? Are you high?
As a side not I dislike all this new year themed stuff as it makes me feel old and past it
Dude, come on. You aren’t dead and next year might be the best you’ve ever had. Go have a glass of wine and tell yourself “this will be my year”!
it never is. A scrooge would say a year older, but not an hour richer
How is this for Old?
When our kids were younger, we used to host the Loser’s Ball on NYE. Everyone who had kids would come to our house and we’d throw them all in the basement to play Thunderdome, while we sat upstairs having a few drinks and a fun-but-responsible night.
Now our kids are gone and do we throw a wild bacchanalia type party? Nope. We stay at home play a few hands of cards with the kids. When the kids take off to go to some fun wild party, we go to sleep.
Realizing that you no longer even really want to go to a party where you drink booze out of some chick’s shoe on a dare makes you feel like you are 100 years old.
Who is the chick?
Any female who didn’t run away screaming in terror.
Any female that wears shoes…
The old grey mare, she ain’t what she used to be.
The tranny stripper in the Seattle homeless story.
Leap’s drink tally only bested me by 3. I’m closing in but I’ll never catch up, too late, too late. Mojeaux knows…
I think I had three drinks this year. – that is like lunch
To be fair, I don’t think I’d like the smell or taste even if I weren’t a religiously motivated teetotaler.
If you didnt have the religious motivation, i would claim challenge accepted.
I am undefeated in the chicks who claim to not like beer category. Lambics are a secret weapon.
And once it was super hoppy DIPAs, but that was a fluke.
How the Fuck Did I Become a Teetotaler is Worst Revelation. How the fuck did that happen? I think I had three drinks this year.
You’re not a teetotaler until you’ve had zero drinks in a year. Right now you are merely alcohol-averse.
Inebriated-curious?
He’d have to have more than 3 to move up from alcohol-averse to drunk-curious. Unless those three were all drunk in quick succession.
We really don’t know the size or duration of those 3 that Leap had. I’ve heard of 7 day drunks and “Don’t come back to work ’til you’re sober” and not see the guy for a month. Just sayin’
True story:
A guy didn’t show up to work, because he had to go get his kid out of the drunk tank in NYC (kid’s car had been impounded for DUI).
The next day he didn’t show up for work either. Or the day after that… turns out to celebrate getting him out of jail, they went out and got blitzed and put back in the drunk tank, but together this time.
LOL. At my last job a developer didn’t show up for work. Since it was crunch time on a project we tried tracking him down to see what was up. Figured it would be a “sorry I overslept, I’m on my way in” or at worst “I’m hungover like a bear, see you tomorrow”.
No answer to calls, texts, emails. Hit some of his buddies up and no idea from them either. Even decided to call parents who had no idea.
Finally discovered him in the Cook County drunk tank. He had met some guys on the way back from the bar and they went back to his place to keep drinking and snorting coke. During the party his new friends decided they were going to rob his apartment. During the ruckus cops were called and everyone got hauled in.
Fun times.
I’ve done that. 2005 was the year of my Hep C diagnosis and treatment. The doctor said “You’re going to have 6 months of antivirals that make you feel like shit. If you abstain from alcohol the success rate of this treatment is 90%. If you continue to drink, the success rate is 30%”. He actually told me I should swear off drinking forever. Made it two years and then fell off the wagon, but at least there has been no recurrence of the virus.
I did about a year and a half at one point. Can’t even remember the details of why I started the insanity or why I resumed the other type of insanity.
Tell us how Pamela Anderson is involved.

I laffed.
Animal takes me on all his trips too, I may not keep up but he still drags me along. Grateful for all the Glibs, Home run hitter, that Leap guy.
Ummm, asking for a friend, but what is “yoats” and how can I use it in everyday conversations in such a way people don’t think I’m a fag and my shit is all fucked up?
And is it pronounced Yo-ats or Yoats (like boats)?
It’s pronounced ‘Platinium’.
/Damn lies
Like boats
Joe Pesci knows how to pronounce it.
You’re serious? Gonna take more than using “yoats” to be convincing.
Hmmmm……
I think someone has already eaten his pheasants and is fat and sassy now.
Aww. Now I’m mildly embarrassed. And pleased.
I’m so tempted to change my handle to Klubuchar’s Salad Comb now so I can make Leap’s Top 10 next year. (for Best Amy Klobuchar Meme)
It’s not worth it.

Too late!!!!
Uffda! If I wasn’t the Only True Libertarian I’d totally sue you for theft of my intellectual property!
*salivates at the thought *
Plot twist!
Ozy ties for best column writer.
Does anybody else eat one thing for days/weeks only to suddenly tire of it and never eat it again (or at least, not for a very long time)?
My son. (of course he was enabled by his mother who acts as a short order cook and drives me crazy)
I used to do that, especially for things that really aren’t that hard to make (like homemade bread). Now that I get a weekly veggie bag, i can’t sustain that.
Nope. I very much desire variety. It’s why I rarely get to cook spicy food in the house, the girlfriend won’t eat it, and there’s only so much of it I can eat before I get tired of it (and hate wasting food).
Unrelated to that… feel free to hit me up at my handle at Google’s mail and I can send you the recipes for those cookies I sent you.
Woo hoo! Thank you! Particular fondness for the ginger cookies (can’t say snaps) because they were soft and remained fresh, but I pretty much like ginger anything.
I have heard these gingersnaps are excellent. I haven’t tried them, but their maple shortbreads are amazing.
I don’t think we have that brand here, but I will look.
And I am now in the mood for gingerbread since I have a carton of whipping cream in my fridge I don’t want to waste.
I don’t know that they’re sold anywhere other than that store.
Do you mind if I put them on my recipes list? I always attribute, but it’s really only for me and the grocery store.
I don’t mind at all. None of them were my original recipe anyways, just ones that I’ve found and made over the years.
Glad you enjoyed Christmas Horror Story, I like how all the threads are linked back together.
Poor Santa. He was a bad-ass too.
Oh, also, in cased you missed my name-checking you Sunday, Mr Mojeaux and I watched Christmas Horror Story and I loved it. I like Krampus.
I got a pasta roller attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer and ate tons of pasta for a few weeks, then got tired of it. I think I laid off pasta for about a month before getting back into it recently (just made ~3 pounds of potato gnocchi dough last night).
When I learned how to make gyudon, I ate it breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two days. I didn’t get burned out on it though, and it’s still one of my favorite things to make.
My wife.
*sobs* No more Nikki Sixx links for you.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No but I’ll rotate 3 for 4 favorite recipes for months.
Sorry to go OT, but holy crap the comment section of this flashback on Instapundit calling for the end of the FBI is surprisingly supportive of the idea. I’m not sure, but I think we’re beginning to see a bit of a shift in traditional conservative views on the the law and order state. If so, really, the law and order state has no one to blame but themselves.
I’ve noticed that even the commenters on PowerLine seem to be more and more libertarian leaning. When they run their screeds about locking more and more people up, it seems like there is a lot of push back.
And yeah, a lot of them over there are calling for blood in the aisles at the FBI.
Of course, as soon as the FBI starts spying on President Klobuchar to investigate allegations of cod pro lutefisk in a call with Norway’s PM, they will all flip positions and say it was totally justified and thank Odin that someone is trying to stop her.
Sometimes the only way people will learn is to get bit in the ass by the monster that they helped create.
Saviours of the Republick
George Conway—husband of senior presidential advisor Kellyanne Conway—and several other Republicans launched a political action committee Tuesday to oust President Donald Trump and lawmakers that support him from office in 2020, even if it means a Democrat majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives.
“Mr. Trump and his enablers have abandoned conservatism and longstanding Republican principles and replaced it with Trumpism, an empty faith led by a bogus prophet,” founders of the campaign wrote in an op-ed in The New York Times.
George Conway, along with political strategists Steve Schmidt and John Weaver and media consultant Rick Wilson, announced the formation of the Lincoln Project in an op-ed for The New York Times Tuesday. Seeing Trump as both unfit for office and harmful to the Constitution, the project’s goal is to defeat the president and “Trumpism” at the ballot box in November.
Using former President Abraham Lincoln as their guide, the co-authors of the op-ed wrote that America is at a point in its history reminiscent of Lincoln’s time when its leader had to save the union and weave the nation back together.
“But those wounds can be bound up only once the threat has been defeated. So, too, will our country have to knit itself back together after the scourge of Trumpism has been overcome,” the op-ed said.
Puffing and preening , they parade through the square, winking at the
ladiesdeep state political consultants.Yeah, whatever, you delusional cuntes.
I’m not sure making a parallel to Lincoln’s time is very smart, never mind accurate. Lincoln’s most healing action for the nation’s metaphorical wounds was to get shot and die.
We are going to elect someone who will suspend habeus corpus, impose censorship of the media, draft shit tons of people (except for the people rich enough to buy their way out of it) and then turn that army upon anyone who opposes us!
Yeah, I can totes see why we need another Lincoln right now.
Without getting into the details or the morality, I can totally see why the notion of the “right” side of the country using violence to forcibly compel the submission of the deplorables appeals to these people. Think about their favorite presidents: Lincoln, FDR, and Wilson.
Remember when the “Walk Away” movement founders were given a NYT op-ed column?
Seeing Trump as both unfit for office and harmful to the Constitution,
Using former President Abraham Lincoln as their guide,
Modern conservatism is brain dead.
I’m not qualified to comment on “true conservatism,” but if you’re working on getting Republicans defeated, you aren’t a Republican pretty much by definition.
Party politics has gotten so capricious that even if Trump was such a weight around their necks, he’ll be forgotten 4-8 years after he’s gone. Getting rid of him now, without some more serious cause, is overcorrection.
I think one of the things that really galls the party hacks about Trump is that he didn’t spend any time doing the proper things to climb up through the party and get the nomination. The old way was to start at the bottom volunteering for a campaign, working your way up through the various levels and finally get the nomination. Hillary is the epitome of that model. She got the nomination despite being a terrible candidate just because she spent her entire life working the Democratic party system.
The parties are like the old school record labels. They had a great system set up, where they controlled everything about what people were able to listen to and buy. Trump is the first act that figured out he can go straight to the people via social media/internet. Of course, the old school fuckers don’t like their business model being upset.
I think one of the things that really galls the party hacks about Trump is that he didn’t spend any time doing the proper things to climb up through the party and get the nomination.
I think this is kind of right, but not quite. The true politicians in the GOP don’t really give a crap one way or the other about Donald Trump. He’s got power. So they’re his best buddies. The real hatred for him comes from the GOP consultant class. Because, mostly, he didn’t hire them, ignored them, kind of made jokes of them, and still won. For them, that’s an unforgivable sin. Because, in a real way, it threatens their livelihood. If Trump succeeds, they’re no longer the kingmakers. That has real implications for their employment outlooks.
Yup he showed that all the GOP strategists were awful.
See also: the “foreign policy” establishment, the “national security” establishment, the “law enforcement” establishment, etc.
These jobs might be phony-baloney, but they pay well.
I think it’s because he’s the only person in the country who has the luxury of having no fucks to give.
Flyover Country responds well to that.
George Conway, along with political strategists Steve Schmidt and John Weaver and media consultant Rick Wilson,
I remember these guys’ track records. Throwing their efforts behind the Democrats is pretty much an in-kind contribution to Trump and the Republicans.
save the union and weave the nation back together
They would prefer Trump wage war on his own people?
Does anybody else eat one thing for days/weeks only to suddenly tire of it and never eat it again (or at least, not for a very long time)?
Who, what?
*glances furtively at year-old can of sardines on shelf*

Excellent. You should go post that comment at the NYT. I’m absolutely certain it would be a “Times pick” or whatever they call them.
I think that would disqualify me from Leap’s 2020 list.
For my part, I wouldn’t trade you for all the used sex robots in Texas.

Have you seen hi-res photos of her face without make-up? All my MaD Photosh0p Skilz would have to be brought to bear if she was sitting in my studio. Poor lady had some very bad acne when she was a kid.

Plot bunny (feel free to expound):
Krampus in marriage counseling.
The irony is that most of their marital woes are caused by his wife getting extremely nasty due to menstrual cramps?
Good one! *scribbles notes*
He sat listening to the therapist’s calming tones with dread sinking into his belly.
INCURABLE.
DOCTOR.
HORMONES.
His wife was sobbing and sputtering, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
What could he do? What could she do?
“We’ve done that,” he said abruptly. “Doctors. Hormones. Procedures.”
The therapist grimaced. “There’s one you haven’t done,” he said gently.
“No!” she screamed.
No, he didn’t want that either, but it was looking more and more inevitable. At least his mother-in-law would be happy. No mixed grandchildren from her wayward daughter.
American Dad! has some insane Christmas specials, including Krampus in several of them. The plot twist they have is that Krampus is the good guy, punishing bad kids to stop them from turning into spoiled brats. Santa is evil, and mining for something in the North Pole that will give him unlimited power, and gives presents to all the kids to turn them into entitled little shits.
She wants to have kids but his line of work has driven him away from the thought.
He seems to be taking more business trips to hell lately.
He wants her to spice things up in the bedroom, tried suggesting using chains.
He asked her to get a tattoo of himself on her lower back. Yup. A Krampus stamp tattoo.
Oooh! High school sweethearts and attendant hijinx.
I’ve sorta kinda done that already, except hero didn’t want kids and told heroine that from the beginning. Too bad he had a VasClip instead of a real vasectomy.
Krampus is a woman and her sister is the witch with the candy house who eats Hansel & Gretel.
How about the witch is Krampus’ sister and he and his wife are constantly arguing about visiting her house (or any of Krampus’ other demonic relatatives).
Mrs: Remember when we found the kids in the oven with an apple in their mouths?
Krampus: C’mon! The heat wasn’t even on. The kids thought it was funny.
Mrs: The heat wasn’t on because I went into the kitchen just before she could get the kindling lit!
Krampus: She’s my sister! What do you want me to do? Just abandon her? Like your brother isn’t a drunken ass.
Her brother the Big Bad Wolf.
Obviously child raising is going to be huge.
Mrs: Do you know what YOUR son did today?
Krampus: I just walked in the door, can I have a minute to relax before you start?
Mrs: He went next door and took a dump in Old Mr. Johnson’s front yard.
Krampus: I’m telling you that that is the way I grew up and there is nothing wrong with that. You need to understand that everyone didn’t grow up in the suburbs like you did.

I’m convinced that Robby may be the last sane person in American media. (TW: TOS)
https://reason.com/2019/12/16/army-navy-game-white-power-hand-symbol-circle/#comments
FTA:
“Back to the cadets: Having carefully reviewed the video footage in question, it seems pretty likely that their gestures were even less significant—they are probably playing the circle game. What is the circle game? you ask. Well, it’s pretty simple: You make a circle gesture with your hand, and if someone else looks at the circle, you get to punch that person.
I was not familiar with the game, but I’ve subsequently heard from enough people who played it during their teen years. (During my own adolescence, we had a similar game: You could punch someone if you were the first to spot a specific kind of car—a Volkswagon Beetle or a P.T. Cruiser—and then that person couldn’t hit you back.)”
Who is surprised to learn that Robby has never heard of the circle game, but is familiar with the female version- the Volkswagon game?
We always called it Slug Bug
Punch Buggy. And it’s not the “female version” of anything.
I’m sorry. That is my own bias. I never played it, but I am familiar with it because my sister and her friends played it. I deserve a punch in the arm for the error. I humbly submit my shoulder
*kicks TGA in the nuts*
“Limp Dick, saw a Tesla!”
I larfed
Stevie for the win.
Punch Bug
We always called out the color of the VW as we punched the other person. >>>>>>>>>Punch Bug Red!!! .Wack!
And if you don’t say, “No punch back” the person can punch you back.
Don’t make me turn this car around!
It has come to my attention that many people have played this VW bug. I was wrong to assume that such a game was an alt-right dog whistle meant to distract from how ridiculous the updated VW bug truly looked in service of defending an automobile company begun by the Nazis. I retract my statement, but I will not retract my firm belief that VW bugs look ridiculous.

Jesus. Talk about false equivalency. Modi is bad, but not “hey, let’s run re-education camps and harvest the organs of these Muslims” type bad.
Full disclosure, my log-in name for Glibs is still “Fire Shikha”
Midshipmen. Or did the Navy go to calling their Officers in training Cadets?
One of the guys was an Army cadet, the other two were mids.
What’s especially ridiculous about this is that there’s a black cadet and a black mid who clearly see it and know what’s going on, and are trying not to laugh. The kid who’s shoulder the guy’s got the circle on is about to lose his shit because he’s desperately trying to not look and he’s barely able to not crack up. It’s college kids goofing off, not race hatred. FFS, these people.
So according to Robbie, it’s okay to be white?
Tennessee Bill Would Require Student Athletes to Compete Based on Assigned Birth Gender

Hey they can’t do sanctuary counties, because this was passed by the legislature and signed by the governor. The law is the law.

While a tax return won’t tell you everything about any one filer’s finances on its own, when combined with other documents including a statement of net worth, it can provide a more complete picture of that person’s bottom line.
“What you can see from the individual Form 1040 are the types and sources of income, including whether the taxpayer has capital gains or dividend income,” said Joshua D. Blank, professor of law at the University of California, Irvine.
“What you can’t see is wealth,” he said. “We tax people based on annual income and not total wealth.”

What if you sold an asset? Schedule D will tell you more about the gains and losses stemming from the sale.
Filers would fill out Form 8948, and make note of their purchase and sales dates, as well as the cost basis, to correctly fill out this schedule. It can act as a window into the taxpayer’s trading activity.
“You can see if there are a lot of stock transactions,” said Bastian.
At this point, the battle for Trump’s tax returns seems mostly to have devolved into something equivalent to a nursery school fight over a toy at nap time. But maybe they can get him for insider trading.
By hook or by crook. They’ll get him.

You mean the IRS and NY Dept. of Revenue don’t already have Trump’s tax returns for the last forever years? I’d like to know the “one trick to avoid filing taxes” that he knows.
And just where does MSNBC think they are going to get a copy of “statement of net worth?” Maybe something is floating around a court somewhere from his last divorce but it would hardly be relevant today.
They didnt say it was AXE, but they didnt say it wasn’t, either.

Speaking of Number 6, where did he disappear to?
That’s quite a letter, Donald.
I’m actually rather impressed. You get so used to seeing him communicate in tweet form it’s a little surprising to find that he can actually put a sentence together properly. And the sentiment rings true, I think.
Which one of the kids actually wrote it, do you think?
Just read it in his voice, and it is clear that he still wrote/dictated large parts of it.
He did wait until the end of the 2nd paragraph before the obligatory exclamation mark came out.
Sad!
Agree or disagree with the basis of impeachment, but Congress choosing to impeach a president (for whatever reason) can never be viewed as “an abuse of power”.
The argument (and I’m not certain I agree with it) is that without establishing a crime, impeachment upsets the balance of power by putting the legislative above the electorate.
I don’t find that to be persuasive. Firstly, the electorate is not part of the balance of power. Secondly, the electorate can remedy such action by voting out representatives who took the action (which, to be honest, a lot of Democratic house members in swing districts are not getting re-elected after this stunt).
The argument reminds me of the Democratic argument of “Congress won’t act” under Obama. Congress not doing anything is Congress acting. The remedy for that would be for the electorate to vote out those members of Congress. That is the electorate’s power. Congress is exercising its own power and they may pay the consequences for that, but that is not up to the executive to decide.
Kinda hard to argue that still, when the House that initiates impeachment is the “Peoples” house.
At the risk of waffling, I can see both sides here. On the one hand, this is well within the purview of the House. On the other hand, the remedy available to the electorate, i.e. voting out their local reps, doesn’t actually fix the issue. The President is elected according to a specific process which tries to take the popular vote and filter it through the Electoral College in order to arrive at something like a fair and accurate outcome. Representatives are elected in a different process because they’re supposed to fill a different role. If you say that the House can “fix” a Presidential election by overruling the outcome and that’s OK because they’re elected, there’s no longer any reason to have a Presidential election at all, is there?
Congress choosing to impeach a president (for whatever reason) can never be viewed as “an abuse of power”.
I feel like I’m missing the point here. Isn’t “abuse of power” defined as using properly vested power in a way outside of the spirit in which the power is vested?
In other words, the power of impeachment (as granted to the House) is abused when it is used not to punish high crimes and misdemeanors, but to alter the outcome of an election on a flimsy pretense.
What am I missing here?
In principle, I agree with you. But, I start to get a bit nervous with event he legislative branch using “because we can” as a justification for their actions.
My issue is that if my rep votes against impeachment and your rep votes for it, I can’t punish your rep nor can you punish mine through voting them out. I realize that is an issue with any national legislation, but I tend to believe that the fact that there’s a whole process for the nation to elect a president which exists separately from the election of representatives demonstrates that the intent was to relegate impeachment to the realm of dire emergency, not just an opportunity for Congress to veto the election results.
First, what we are talking about is “impeaching” a president. Trump isn’t getting removed from office and the bar to remove a president from office is so high that there is a reason why no president has ever been removed. Secondly, impeachment is a purely political question. And while specific representatives may not face consequences for how they vote on the question, their party may suffer consequences which will impact individual representatives indirectly.
Congress has its authority and the president has his. They are exercising that authority delegated to them by the constitution so there is no way they could be “abusing” that authority.
That’s just my perspective
Congress choosing to impeach a president (for whatever reason) can never be viewed as “an abuse of power”.
Secondly, impeachment is a purely political question.
Strongly disagree. Impeachment is still subject to the Constitution, which sets a standard. Congress removing the President for jaywalking would be unconstitutional and an abuse of power.
Wow, thats actually pretty good.
Great letter. Best letter. Way better than Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail.”
For once, the dog wasnt left to die in a hot car, or getting the shit knocked out of it for not alerting for its handler.

LOL
And a picture of the dog with white stuff all over it’s face. Classy.
I keep going back and forth between wanting to know more and not wanting to know even this much.
The only thing I care about is if the dog was actually harmed in some way. Otherwise who gives a shit. The dog probably doesn’t. I mean we kill and eat animals.
Given what dogs happily do to each other without batting an eye there’s a whole slew of disgusting things the guy could’ve done that the dog probably wouldn’t have found demeaning or even all that unusual. Which is not to say anyone should go around boning dogs, just that being really gross isn’t the same thing as animal cruelty.
I recall some chick in Florida being prosecuted for having her dog lick her. I’m like first of all, dogs eat their own crap. Secondly, you put this chicks picture in the local newspaper, what else do you think needs done to her?
The stupid scowl on the cop’s face is really the kicker. I mean, sane people would be utterly mortified being jailed for being a dog-fu**er. This guy cops an attitude like he’s the canine Casanova.
No contact with any animals at all?? Seems like total compliance would be a bit difficult…
/pedantic ass
And define “contact”. Like, strip club rules? Will the guy get in trouble for having a bird feeder?
Hope he doesn’t have a Parrot. Lol.
Some friend of my parents spent $900 on one of those African grey talking parrots (back in the mid-90s, so adjust for inflation) and the fucking thing dropped dead two weeks later. I know the death of a pet isn’t funny, but that’s just hilarious to this day.
Ewwwwwww.
