NOW I’M SAD AGAIN!
Update: 3 beers in and ToddlerZilla’s Pink Whisper Ride Cruiser is done. There was over 25 steps. Jesus.
#beermakesyoubetteratassemblingshit
I’m eating an ice cream cone, in case anyone was wondering.
I wasn’t, but, the fire department and EMS spent the last hour in the building across the lot. Also, I’m watching 1996’s Broken Arrow, and sipping cheap beer, if you were wondering.
I am now eating an ice cream sandwich, in accordance with my master plan.
How do you eat an ice cream cone?
ToddlerZilla was given a Step 2 Whisper Ride Cruiser for her birthday. The instructions are in zoomed up pictures and does not show everything required in each step. Urge to go on a homicidal rampage is up to 11.
I found better instructions online though, which is nice. Holy fuck, though.
Evening commentists. This old body made it through another ball season with no injuries. Take that father time!
/so achy every morning.
Did you guys win?
Ball season is also the BDSM club’s favorite time of year
last funny for the night:
Yes, even if that is just cookie dough rolled and choco-bitted.
That’s the point! I’d eat my dog if she was composed of cookie dough and chocolate chips!
I’m going to need some background on this.
Are you sure?

found a funny:
One day you wake up and everything has been replaced with an exact duplicate. It looks right but feels wrong. You can’t shake it. An uneasy man walks by you and whispers “maybe you’re the only one who changed”. But that can’t be right. You’re the center of the universe
Damn Pomeranians. Just a buncha little perverts if you ask me.
Starting to sound a lot like the Orange Asshole. Next you’re going to suggest we keep all Pomeranians in cages.
Just the puppies.
Like veal.
Cages? No, that’s too good for those little assholes.
They’re nuthin’ but hippie Chihuahuas with long hair and an attitude of entitlement.
Fuck ’em.
10 Pomeranians vs 10 Chihuahuas, who wins?
This is tough; we need some formulas.
The big dog with the getaway car wins.
No one denies this.
I’d wipe my ass with that dog and then put it back.
Imaginative erotica.
Sigh. I almost can’t believe this.

You can’t? I’m certain 90% of that crowd have never heard of Paul Manafort or Michael Cohen
Wishful thinking.
I’m starting to get a little concerned these people don’t have access to information
I’m not sure what you mean.
FAEK NEWZ LIES LOCK HER UPP!111!!!!11! BULD THE WALL
MAGA
A Naval Academy graduate who retired as a Commander is a fuck-up.
What’s your point? Not to make generalizations without circumstance or context?
An ad hominem, short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attack on an argument made by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, rather than attacking the argument directly.
My point is that this guy is a self-described fuck-up based on his Twitter handle. My point has nothing to do with the text about the Fox news sucking, which I agree with completely. I’m more interested in this guy’s Twitter handle, which is really a desperate cry for help.
Whoa. We like her a lot.
And by “we” I mean me and my penis.
Yeah, according to his ex-wife Joss Whedon cheated on her multiple times with the ladies from his shows. Not cool, but…can any one of us say we’d do any differently? I mean, we could, but we’d be lying.
I’m not judging, but if I was you I’d say “yes honey, I am differently”.
Then, when she corrects your grammar, say thank you and offer to draw her a bath.
KEREKES! In my pants …
Don’t you hate it when you get white stuff all over prematurely.
It’s prom night all over again.
/was on prom committee and accidentally set off confetti cannons before King and Queen had been announced
As long as you got the bucket of blood timing right
I feel “confetti cannons” are your balls.
Dude, I keep telling you, you GOTTA hydrate more.
First reaction from my moderate Republican friends today: “yeah, but no one cares when you lie about sex and Trump is just going to spend time rounding up immigrants after that Iowa thing, so I don’t see why this is a big deal. He’s not getting impeached and might even still get reelected.”
If you need me, I’ll be smashing my head through various hard surfaces.
They’re not wrong. If he makes it to the election, he’s probably reelected. The only possible way to get him out is for him to be convicted of crimes.
There’s a “tWBS’ past girlfriends” joke here. I’m sure as shit not gonna be the one to make it, however.
But….good dog. Now get some fucking self-respect.
Jiffy.
RockingDog approves of this dog!
I suspect the Manafort and Cohen news was allllll orchestrated by Urban Meyer and his cohort of sex slaves to divert attention from the investigation results tomorrow… But there’s no way he’s THAT powerful, unless… he had help frm the Reverse Vampires! Of course! It all makes sense.
Fo real tho there’s like a 70% chance the Rand Corporation is involved

hahahaha
I just had a idea:
Why can’t the FBI and CIA create a worm or virus in Donald Trump’s twitter account that simulate working conditions? He can tweet and the program will generate responses. But his views will not go out into the general public.
Where’s the money in that?
COMPELLING EVIDENCE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LFkN7QGp2c
Well, let’s start with he chooses not to and go from there.
I love these indictments. Even though these asshole get to serve time in Club Prison; minimum security.
I had a girlfriend who looked exactly like this, down to every detail. They could be twins. The problem? Stone cold crazy
But the sex, right?
That’s how they lure you in, then they start trying to kill you.
Interesting from the woman’s side: “He was a bit crazy; killed her and five of her coworkers because he couldn’t “have her.””
(warning Incoming Rant)
(sets down soapbox) (notices beer bottles and knives about to be thrown in general direction)
“ITS NOT POLITICAL THIS TIME!!!”
(beer bottles and knives are set down)
As I was about to say….
https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2018/08/20/vatican-priest-embarrassed-scandalized-prosecutor-deters-death-penalty-stance/1045682002/
A Vatican priest is more concerned about the local prosecutor’s views on the Death Penalty than Child Abusing Priests.
To put into context for those fortunate enough to avoid Ohio:
Joe Deters was speaking in his role as County Prosecutor of Hamilton County, Ohio (Cincinnati), right after a case where a person raped and murdered four women (two girls) after being paroled after serving a 16-year sentence for killing his girlfriend. In all 5 cases, he burned their bodies to avoid capture.
The Catholic Church has allowed and condoned a culture where priests who abuse children are absolved of all Earthly punishment and get off with reassignment.
This is my favorite part:
“You(r) comments imply that your personal conscience and experience have given you moral insight superior to that of your church,” Mueller wrote to Deters. “May I suggest that this is indicative of a kind of spiritual pride or rigidity on your part. An antidote would be for you to chat with a good confession.”
They are concerned about the soul of a prosecutor not following the Pope? What about the souls of the priests who have committed these ungodly sins?! And what about the souls of those who have been hurt by the priests, who have turn their backs from God, due to this torture?!?! That’s what really pisses me off! These assholes haven’t risk their own immortal souls, but the souls of those they hurt!!!
I’m a sinner. I admit and confess it. I have no right to judge anyone anymore than this priest does. But if this priest is so concerned about wayward souls, I’d direct them to the priest they are protecting. Because I doubt they will get the same Mercy their victims will get when they are called before the Altar to stand Judgment for their sins.
Nobody expects a reverse Spanish inquisition…..
Eh, the church, who cares, do they even have an app?

Our Man in Iran: Part 1

Folks
I made a bacon cheeseburger that I want to have sex with. I’ve been cooking with bacon grease for a while. I don’t give a shit. I’m ready to die this way.
My entire childhood; almost everything cooked in a skillet started (at least) with bacon grease.
I could cook dogshit in that stuff and it’s going to be at least decent. I’ve been browning meatballs in the stuff before I threw them in the oven. Browning meat for lasagna. Doing pancakes. Brownie batter. I did salmon, which defeats the entire health benefits of salmon, but whatever. It’s a fucking cheat code.
I felt the same way when I had bacon in college. My parents overcooked their bacon, to the point where it was a black fragile strip with no taste.
I had a Bacon Cheeseburger when I was 32 from a Lunch Truck at work. I damn near broke down into tears for the taste I was feeling.
See, I don’t go that deep with it. I go enough for some snap, but it’s not dust in my mouth. I just want enough grease to put in the ceramic dish for the fridge. I’ve got videos of my two year old girl screaming “BACON” and grabbing the stuff. We’re all going to die of heart attacks in a year. It’s kind of sweet, really.
I try hard to be numb but Feist has me figured out.

I have this very itchy feeling that Manafort will be pardoned by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
He has another trial next month which I believe is a state court issue, which means trump cant pardon a conviction.
I think you be correct. I just wanted to tamp down immediate expectations. This’ll take quite some time to play out.
accepting a pardon is a admission of guilt. How would that effect related state charges and outgoing investigations?
It means any state charges for similar crimes would be instant convictions.
It means his children have to go to jail.
All of this happening today, and both The Daily Show and Colbert are off this week. Naturally.
I have yet to understand why Trevor Noah is on television.
Probably Elon Musk’s doing.
Process of Elimination. Everyone good at Daily Show already left for talk show or a career.
I don’t know if this is a hot take, but I consider Seth Meyers to be the spiritual successor Jon Stewart.
That is a hot taek! Seth Meyers is awful.
To Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL8chWFuM-s
Just to recap today’s headlines here in the U.S.
1. Paul Manafort convicted on eight counts.
2. Michael Cohen pleads guilty on eight counts.
3. Duncan Hunter (come on just try to guess – CA) and wife indicted for stealing campaign funds
Next up: OMAROSA’S VIDEO!
I had no idea he was this vindictive…

Oh, dear God. Omarosa has a sex video?!
