MORE DISCLAIMERSIt's open thread Thursday, and I need to hear your thoughts on a few things , such as the president's female blood fixation,  and the republicans trying to pass a crappy health care bill.

Holla.

Here is the word of the day. French is such a subtle and expressive language.

Méchant Adjective 1. Evil, wicked, miserable, nasty, despicable.

I think mean is a good translation if you intend to say very, fucking mean.

Let me use it in a sentence.

Le président des États-Unis est méchant.

Do you think it's a good word for today? what would be the best translation?

The Trump tweets reminded me of some past observations. Joe and Mika turned anti Trump after the DNC tried to get Mika fired. That was pretty widely reported by the MSM and it didn't come from Wikileaks. If you watched the show you probably remember when Trump used to call and they were all friendly. I also remember Joe becoming more moderate when MSNBC decided to turn more liberal. You don't see much criticism of Trump's war crimes from the MSM presstitutes. Once in awhile a guest complains about him not going through congress.

So my congresswoman, Barbara Lee, finally after a decade of trying, got her amendment passed into an appropriations bill in that committee to sunset the sixty word AUMF that got passed three days after 9-11 that has been used to authorize 37 military operations in 14 countries in the last 16 years, many of which had nothing to do with 9-11.
It would give congress eight months to craft a new authorization for whatever military operations we have going or want to start.
I think that it would be a good thing if it got signed into law because I don't particularly see 9-11 as a permanent excuse for any war that any president happens to feel like doing between September 14 of 2001 and forever.
She had vocal, enthusiastic Republican support when the committee passed it, but we'll have to see what Ryan and McConnell do with it, and whether president four-year-old freaks out and sees it as a threat to his authority. Or notices it at all, for that matter.
It is how the government is supposed to work where the making of war is concerned, and I'd kinda like to see us go back in that direction and away from the hysteria that underpinned so many shortsighted and damaging responses to 9-11 that we are still living with.

@ Yisheng -

No one obsesses over you. Though you seem to believe otherwise.

Lots of micro-dicked closet gay black boys on sites like this see a strong, big-dicked white brother like Trump and they get mad. It's understandable - y'all lost, and now you wanna take out your frustrations on people who are better than you.

Keep cryin'! We'll keep MAGA-ing. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

That is big news, Doug. And kudos to Representative Lee for being the only representative to oppose the passage of the AUMF in 2001. It should be one of those core issues that crazy people like Ron Paul and anti-war hippies like myself should be able to agree upon. Rand Paul is not a clone of his father. He has shown a willingness to support military intervention before. But, who knows? If he did join forces, it would be quite a moment in our history when most moments are full of despondency.

Trump will not willingly give away his status as commander-in-chief with benefits. As soon as Bannon explains it to him he will begin a tweetstorm and circle the wagons. That is assuming it gets out of committee. Would that not be an epic battle between the hawks and the doves? I'll be the first to admit that HRC abandoned all of her cred as an anti-war activist that she had built up during the Viet Nam police action. (Just kidding, nostalgic.) It wasn't a police action, it was a proxy war with 58,000 dead Americans.

We are going to war with Russia later this summer. May God have mercy on us all.

For the blacks and browns when they dropped that 'crack' into the hoods, it was "round them up, throw them in prison, and throw away the key!"

So now the whites having an "opiods" (how very polite and scientific ;)epidemic, and all over the news it's oh my God they need medical treatment!!! Hurry,hurry let's get these people "medical treatment"!

I say throw 'em in prison and throw away the key! What say you?

I'd love this as a solution, really twisting the knife in the cartoonishly inflated ego.

Poor old Bloviating Baldy Blowhard, won't nobody take his bets because no one takes him seriously. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

btw-J and M were in Drumpf Dump South for New Year's Eve dressed casually. They didn't ask to hangout as Drumpfuck sez. They left before the party began and Mika was not bleeding. There are pics.

Not to belabor Drumpf's main character flaw, but he lied again, some more and too still yet.

Right wing morons in olde Kaintuck passed a law saying public schools can teach about the bible in Social studies classes.

The bible is as fauxknee as Fake Noize and Drumpf wrapped together. Teaching vulnerable children disputed/dismantled fairy tales does not educate them. It indoctrinates them.

Fuck all wingnuts. With dog dicks!

Venus Williams found liable for a fatal accident in Floriduh. At only 5-8 mph it is hard to fathom any fatalities, but the vehicle with the ROW came into the intersection on a green light.

No oone got fired, Gomer. How many serial sexual abusers got fired from Fake Noize after a couple decades of harrassent complaints?

"... the family will file suit against Williams over the accident on June 9 that left Jerome Barson, 78, with head injuries. Barson died two weeks after the crash."

If your relative was 78 and hit by a car going 5 miles an hour, and died 2 weeks after the accident, would you sue? Why? What would it prove?

Venus Williams wasn't drunk, texting or on anything, but she's a millionaire! We can make some money off gramps' death! Go for it!

mike from iowa said...

She was at fault. She was the driver of a vehicle that got hit. Her speed is irrelevant. Most likely would have been a lawsuit if the at fault driver was ordinary Joe Blow. Just saying.

mike from iowa said...

Several states with Democratic (ie responsible, ethical, intelligent, etc) legislatures refuse to cooperate with Drumpfuck's witch hunt for voters to kick off Dem voting rolls.

Drumpfuck's massive effort at voter suppression is just another in a long line of wingnut attempts to win elections illegally. Thanks to gross stoopidity of wingnut voters, these attempts can have some success by denying legal voters their voting rights and making new voters jump through extra hoops to get signed up.

Flying Junior said...

If Williams got stuck in the intersection because of traffic ahead of her, I don't get why her vehicle is at fault. I am assuming that she entered the intersection lawfully but was suddenly forced to slow down or stop. It is possible that there are anti-gridlock laws that might apply.

In California it is the responsibility of the driver with the new green light to make sure that the intersection is cleared before entering. There can often be cars in the intersection after the light turns red. For instance, it is lawful to edge forward with your left blinker on waiting for a chance to make an unprotected left turn. Often these drivers become stranded in the intersection when cars going the other way on yellow or red refuse to yield.

Embarrasingly red South Dakota (which has a former Miss South Dakota as Sec of State) refuses to turn over voter info.

Shitweasel Kobach is asking for info and then making it public in wingnut's futile search to prove there were millions of illegal voters in Drumpfuck's head last year.

mike from iowa said...

Kobachs home state told him to stick his voter info request where the sun don't shine. Gawd does that hurt.

James Bold said...

"Drumpfuck's massive effort at voter suppression is just another in a long line of wingnut attempts to win elections illegally."

Projecting like an IMAX again.  The Demonrats have been voting entire graveyards for their machine candidates for a century-plus (which is how Kennedy "won" Illinois in 1960), and now that Trump threatens to drain the swap and end your control you're losing your shit.

MOAR POPCORN!

mike from iowa said...

Baldy you lie like a dog on a rug. Nobody takes you seriously. You take a look at real news outlets you will find the vast majority of what little voter fraud (until 2016 election and Russians) has been committed by wingnuts.

BTW howz the patent for stoopidity coming?

Flying Junior said...

Hmmm! How lovely. Just drain that yucky old swamp and pump in new fresh water. Get a little bit of sand to make a nice bottom and a beach. Make a couple of swimming beaches. Girls in bikinis. Young musclemen. Maybe a surf machine and a water park nearby. Competition level swimmers. A deep water bay for diving. Nice docks and boat slips. Surf casting. Angling. Stock the lake with trout. Farm some halibut. Ecologically friendly motorboats and jet skis. Sailboats, sun and sand. A veritable water paradise.

Only problem is that Trump is the nastiest catfish in the entire damn swamp.
