A GOP Congressman on Fox News just now dropped a major Avengers Endgame spoiler in making a political analogy. Bad move on his part

[henry]

Snowing. I’m staying put warming my toes by the fire. I will wander by the fridge for beer when the Blues game comes on, but I’m not going away.

[Jane]

Did anyone else get Imprimus today?

[JM Hanes]

Fun to see Thomas Kuhn play a starring role in Wretchard's latest (linked in the previoius thread): Get Ready for a Paradigm Shift

[henry]

Hmmm. No link to source though.

@5strat

For the first time since polling of Identities began in the 60's, gays and lesbians are split 50/50 between the GOP and Dem Party.

That's 2 years removed from 80% Dem Party / 20% GOP.

America is waking up and the Gays / Lesbians are pretty smart cookies. #WWG1WGA

Stupid question: Is that actually Don McLean in that parody video at the end of TWIP?

Also: can anyone explain the pic about the Neo-Hegelian, Thomism thang?

In my own defense, I did get the “I support farming joke...

Make sure you click on the last pix.

Don’t miss the comments, either!

" gays and lesbians are split 50/50 between the GOP and Dem Party."

I can explain the change.

50% of gays are busy being people. And the other 50% are busy being gay.

Ours came in yesterday's mail.

Best thing about the comments at TWIP is the Tito Puraw memes.

Some are better than TWIP ones.

[lyle]

Agreed, Jack.

[JM Hanes]

Makes perfect sense, Jane.

lyle: Afraid I don't know Thom, either. I also didn't get the Pork & Beans picture. Sort of like being found wanting at both ends of the spectrum....

[JimNorCal]

Musical politics, 4:22 of hilarity.
Biden "sings" a psalm of shotguns, Rand on drones and that's only a start.

[JM Hanes]

I always appreciate being reminded to check TWIP comments! I don't know why I never remember to do it myself, maybe because of the extra click it takes to get there.

[Jane]

"Ours came in yesterday's mail."

Did you read it yet? I skimmed it and thought it was amazing. I'll read it again later.

Pope sends aid to migrants stranded at the US border

Pope Francis has donated 500,000 dollars to assist migrants in Mexico. The funds, from the Peter’s Pence collections, will be distributed among 27 projects promoted by sixteen Mexican dioceses and religious congregations, which requested assistance in continuing to provide food, lodging, and basic necessities to the migrants.

Ex, I love the dog pix. I see you found the Oliver North story I referenced yesterday. I didn't really find out what was going on until today. Sounds very weird.

It was misspelled, JMH. Porn and beans.

Isn't it though--but not as good as the fast train to nowhere.

More salmon than riders on that train.

Imagine volunteering to fight for the military that beat the Nazis.
Becoming a Navy SEAL.
Serving 10 years.
Deploying to war 3 times.
Giving your eye (& almost your life) for your country.
Just to return home & get called a 'Nazi.'

Watch how @DanCrenshawTX handles that:

Dark money donations to NRA?

Go Blues!

[Pinandpuller]

do any of you have any idea of what the gross tonnage of Mega McCain is? Because I saw a side view of her in a clip from The View and even a detractor such as I was shocked by how huge she was.

Posted by: Captain Hate | April 27, 2019 at 08:06 AM

How much does she displace? Just to account for possible dunnange.

[Pinandpuller]

If you want to compare her to a Wilson Sister you have to specify Nancy or Carney.

[henry]

Pin, we were thinking Dumbo’s mother.

Crenshaw goes through more verbal abuse during BUD/S week than anything some idiot kid on campus can provide. Notice the temperament. Why you fear but maintain cool control while in danger.

Dan was not in danger there and that kid is now a laughing stock. LOL.

Live RSBN coverage of the huge crowd outside the venue for President Trump's rally tonight.

Iggy:
Great to hear from you!

[Pinandpuller]

I went to Wal Mart last night to grab a few things and I found something on an end cap called Keto Coffee by Mighty Coffee. I think it's basically Generation X's version of Sanka. It's instant, add to hot or cold water. Grass Fed Butter included although I added some cream. It could be good for a Bug Out Bag, camping or tailgating perhaps. I had to do something to make up for the garlic naan bread I had last night.

Just to go back quickly to the grasshoppers, crickets, locusts etc, I believe they were considered clean animals because they are not scavengers. I don't know what would happen if you put them in a jar with nothing to eat but cheese or eggs but they are vegetarians and less annoying than most human vegetarians. Qualitatively.

[Beasts of England]

Is this the rally GUS is attending?

[Jim Eagle]

At the time, I thought it was the most creative SciFi film I had ever seen. Now it is celebrating its 40th Anniversary.

I've been addicted to reading Quora lately, for whatever reason. This guy was talking about how his son got in trouble for calling a classmate an incredibly dirty word. He was a pilot and had been tutoring his son up at home.

He goes to meet the principal and asks him what term his son used. The principal gets a little red faced and replies," A pitot tube." This guy burst out laughing. I don't do the story justice but I thought you pilots would appreciate the gist of it.

[henry]

Yes Beasts

[Jim Eagle]

Plimsoll in chemistry is the standard state of a substance or solution. She is the standard state of being plump, and an idiot at the same time :)

[Pinandpuller]

So that makes Sherry Shepphard and Whoopie crows, right?

Does anyone believe the germ phobic DJT stuck his wang in an STD mosh pit like Sloppy Daniels other than idiot French and the few nits who take him seriously? We know that he's buds with Jenna Jameson because she used to use a photo of them as her Twitter main photo. Jenna's much better known than Sloppy and is out of the biz and outspokenly conservative. For all I know Trump ran into Sloppy at a party they were both attending and were seen chatting together and thought "this hose receptacle is sleazy enough to try and extort something in the future so let me pay her to go away". The gossipy French has no evidence he had "an affair" with her and just triggers Beldar Trout and Dananuta to suck up to the head monkey by repeating "Trump's a liar".

CH, DJT never had to buy sex. Never would dip the quill in a poison ink well. He’s not a Hollywood scumbag like Hugh Grant or your average Journolist.

I've decided since the Caps disappointed, that I will back the Bruins and the Islanders. But I think the snake in the woodpile could be the Blue Jackets.

JMH,

Newsbusters had a clip from Biden being on The View that briefly showed a side view that made me go WTF. I'm walking Teddy or I'd link it.

Has anyone connected AIDS and Global Warming? I mean like facts, evidence and government and scientist's lies and wishful thinking. And the search for a universal cause for various not necessarily connected phenomena.

A guy in San Francisco has 500 sex partners a year, he died of AIDS. A guy in NYC pops amyl nitrate and prophylactic antibiotics while he clubs all night for years on end, he died of AIDS. An Nigerian loses weight and malingers, she died of AIDS. An Angolan gets shot in the leg and gets gangrene, he died of AIDS.

The short answer pin, is it suppresses the immune system so even the mildest infection is more feral,

[JM Hanes]

"Have people look at the price of basic food stuffs" and factor in the shrinking containers, like that tub of your favorite ice cream which looks like the old one, but now weighs a few ounces less.

[anonamom]

Making HIV political and not following SOP of having people who were positive with this sexually transmitted disease report their contacts under penalty of law killed thousands, probably tens of thousands, of people by allowing this virus to spread virtually unchecked, and risked the lives of innumerable medical workers.
