Dog Bites Man: Fat Ugly Stupid Loser White High School Teacher Also A Loud-Mouthed Racist Bitch. Really.

Teacher, leave those kids alone!

The shithole state that gave us sex criminal "Judge" Roy Moore & J.B. "Shitsack" Sessions III keeps on giving.

Alabama teacher admits telling students to ‘turn the nigger tunes off’ after they played Tupac in class

Also should leave the students the fucking hell alone: School "officials", every last one of whom in every school in this nation should probably be shot to the fucking moon w/ 10 mins. of oxygen.
The incident remains under investigation, but students said school officials made them delete video evidence of Butcher using the slur.
Has the Fourth Amendment gone the way of the First, as noted earlier? How do these Nazis get away w/ shit like this?
Williams' daughters both said an assistant principal made students delete the video on Monday. Murphy said she was unaware if that was the case and is still looking into the incident.
Enough from Alabama already. Maybe someone down there will follow their tradition of burning down the house of someone involved in this. And then we can bomb the whole fucking state out of the country.

"Fuck This Guy." Well Put.

Indeed, Fuck Everyone In This World Of Shit & Pain

First Amendment Officially Dead;
It Was Killed By Technology

I have no idea where this country is going if the First Amendment has now been so curtailed that a simple prank call threatening to kill people is looked at as a big deal.
RELATED:
Rather obviously not a big deal, or why would our prank caller have been released on bail? Maybe it's an ignorance charge; aren't there modern ways to call someone & tell them they're marked for death w/o your call being traced?

Shit, remember when it took a movie-time eternity to trace a call, using the physical connections at the telco central office? Speech was free then, but now technology has taken it away, & we'll have to resort to weapons again.

Advice For Mme. Trump

Dump that son-of-a-bitch now, for your son's sake if not yours; if you wait until Trump's conviction it'll be even worse for both of you.

Where Were the Cutesy Tweets from Melania and Donald Trump on Their 13th Wedding Anniversary?  —  Past presidents and first ladies have often taken to social media to celebrate their birthdays and wedding anniversaries, giving the American people rare glimpses into their private lives and marriages.

50 Yrs. Ago On The Open Seas

We pull back 25 yrs. from our usual historical recap to note this naval (not natal) anniversary:

Cold War

1968

North Korea seizes U.S. ship Pueblo

General Interest

1968

USS Pueblo captured

On 50th Anniversary of Capture, USS Pueblo Crew Still Feels Scars

Whiny-assed pajama boys. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it.

P.S.: The North Koreans still have the Pueblo. Ha ha. The U.S. remains a paper tiger. No wonder the D.P.R.K. thinks it can tweak Trump's nasty nose any time it feels like it.

MY SUFFERING: 10 Yrs. Of Fucked In The Ass By "Friends"

This item reminds me that it was 10 yrs. ago this month that this pig society rendered me homeless.

Volunteers begin annual homeless count in Los Angeles

Again I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the assholes who used to be my friends, none of whom were ever my friends, it turns out. Just jerks who pretty much ignored me after I no longer had a house in which they could party.

Slight exception: Bitch-ass "girlfriend" who stored my shit BUT NOT ME!!! I could sleep under playground equipment, while what few material objects I could save stayed under her damn roof. Nice priorities, huh?

I hope every last one of you ends up dead in the gutter like this poor bastard, because apparently that's what you all wanted for me.

Unhinged & Off The Deep End

Your Jaw Will Drop, Your Eyes Will Glaze

If this DSM-V case really was a firefighter before he started his "prophecy" scam, he must have removed his gas mask before the all clear at hazmat sites a few more times than was good for his brain cells.
Last Thursday, self-proclaimed “firefighter prophet” and right-wing conspiracy theorist Mark Taylor made yet another appearance on Sheila Zilinsky’s “Weekend Vigilante” podcast, where he claimed that former presidents might be executed as punishment from God for criticizing President Trump.

Citing his previous prophecy that of the five living former presidents, “two will be taken, three will be shaken” as retribution from God for supposedly attacking Trump when they gathered for an event to raise money for hurricane relief last year, Taylor linked that to his other prophecy that America will soon see the establishment of “military-style tribunals to deal with the treasonous acts that are being committed right now in the United States.”

Taylor claimed that these five presidents, whom he referred to as “the evil crew of 32,” based on the number of years they collectively held office, had made a covenant with Baal and the “New World Order/Illuminati” and now would be punished for attacking God’s anointed leader, Donald Trump.

“God’s judgment is literally falling,” Taylor said. “It’s not coming, it’s falling right now on these leaders across America and the church, these wicked leaders, and so the Lord is dealing out this righteous judgment.”

“You are going to see these high-level leaders who have been attacking Trump, who are standing in the way of his agenda,” he said, “you will see them removed from authority, number one. You will see them go to prison, number two, [and] you will see some of these leaders, including church leaders, be removed from the face of the earth.”

“All of the stuff that these guys have been into,” Taylor continued, “these five presidents, it’s going to be exposed for the entire world to see. And this is what I have been saying with these military tribunals that are coming … When they start really digging into this, the length, the depth, the breadth of this thing, it is going to be so big people aren’t going to be able to wrap their minds around it. So it’s like I tell people again and again, strap in, get your seat belt on because we’re going to be in for this for years to come. This is going to be going on for years. And when you have military tribunals, they have a whole different set of rules, there are no appeals … justice is served right then and there. There is not a country on earth where if you commit a treasonous act that, in times past, it wasn’t followed by a death sentence, even here in this country it used to be death by hanging. What they do to these people, I have no clue, but if they start executing people, there is going to be a whole lot of executions going down.”

Madness & Reflection:
Trump's Narcissism

[via Hullabaloo]

Actively Delusional

This is, as they used to say, rich:
Trump, for his part, is frustrated that he’s not getting more credit for positive news like the booming stock market and low unemployment numbers. In recent days, he told a longtime friend that the national polls, which put his approval numbers in the low 30s, are under-representing the real number. Trump insisted his approval rating is in the high 50s. The friend challenged him, but Trump didn’t want to hear it. He soon ended the call.
So he literally denies the polling (& common sense) & is so contemptuous of the American people he thinks the majority of them are fool enough to approve of him.

🎜Keep on believin'!🎝

Today In S-E-X Crimes

 Emily Smith / Page Six:
Matt Lauer's wife kicks him out of Hamptons house  —  Disgraced anchor Matt Lauer has been kicked out of his home by his furious wife after multiple women came forward with allegations of his “inappropriate sexual behavior.”  —  Lauer's wife of nearly two decades, Dutch former model Annette Roque …
Why does Mrs. Lauer get to throw him out? I suspect that it was his inflated salary, not hers, that paid for the Hamptons house. She should move out, & then use one of pervo's credit cards to stay at a very nice & very expensive hotel for a loooooong while.

Meanwhile, Mike Pence wouldn't know the truth if it came up & bit him on his wooden ass.
 Associated Press:
The Latest: Pence calls report on Trump affair baseless  —  JERUSALEM (AP) — The Latest on Vice President Mike Pence's interview with The Associated Press (all times local):  —  Vice President Mike Pence says reports that an adult film star had an alleged affair with President Donald Trump are “baseless allegations.”
That's right, pathetic little ass-licking twerp, an attempted secret settlement of US$130,000.00 for "baseless allegations". Getcher head outta yer ass, wipe the shit offa yer eyelids, open yer unseein' eyes & take a fuckin' look around, Indiana's Idiot!

Doesn't Quite Get Them Yet

Some guy sets out to monitor the web traffic of the right, but misses certain essential aspects of the fake to imaginary news audience.
3. No one’s rushing to RushLimbaugh.com in huge numbers
Rush Limbaugh’s website, where his staff posts transcripts of his shows, consistently ranks in the bottom of the top 20 right-wing websites as monitored by TheRighting. He’s a radio powerhouse but he’s a mere mortal on the web. What’s surprising about his relatively low digital numbers — just under four million visits in December — is that his site is well organized by the day’s topics and easy to navigate. You’d think that more audiences would abandon his radio show and just read him online.
Poor chump's under the illusion members of the Limbaugh audience are:
a) capable of doing anything w/ a computer;
b) not so old their eyes are going, computer skills or no;
c) not easily exhausted by moving their lips to sound out each & every syllable anyway.

And really, most of Limbaugh's listeners are people in the car going to & from the doctor.

"... inhabited by a race of idiots!"

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) blasted Congress on Friday as a government funding deadline approached, slamming the government as being “run by idiots.”

"Our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots," Kennedy told reporters hours before the government was set to enter a shutdown.

Another of Kennedy’s colleagues, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), made similar remarks on the Senate floor, saying that the Senate has “some really stupid people.”

"This is the greatest country in the world, but we do have some really stupid people representing it from time to time, and with that, I probably have gone too far saying that, but it's true and it's disappointing to me," Hatch said.

The two Republicans’ comments come as Congress barrels toward the first government shutdown since 2013.

Hiring "Only The Best People"

Jesus fucking gawd-damned Christ.
 Robert O'Harrow Jr / Washington Post:
Trump's 24-year-old drug policy appointee was let go at law firm after he 'just didn't show'  —  A former Trump campaign worker appointed at age 23 to a top position in the White House's drug policy office had been let go from a job at a law firm because he repeatedly missed work, a partner at the firm said.
When someone "repeatedly misses work", isn't the very first thought drug & alcohol abuse?

Patrick Meehan, Congressman Combating Harassment, Settled His Own Misconduct Case  —  WASHINGTON — Representative Patrick Meehan, a Pennsylvania Republican who has taken a leading role in fighting sexual harassment in Congress, used thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to settle …
We can only hope that every one of these on-your-dime Congressional harrassment settlements (I don't pay income taxes myself, as I'm not a peasant, but I'm still concerned. For the sake of the chumps who pay.) is being dug from the files by enterprising interns.
