I should have mentioned multiple business bankruptcies ending in court fights & settlements & convictions, or licensing their name to grotesquely poor-quality products, but was just going top of the dome after Perelman and Perlmutter

Dance Like Qanon Is Watching You

Apparently some sort of last minute Trump presser happening, probably complaining about the dance video.

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 3 January 2019 21:29 (five years ago) link

Hopefully he is resigning

Boring

"You can call it a wall, you can call it a barrier, whatever you want," Trump says, adding that people "want" security.

Trump just promised that he and Pelosi are going to get lots done on infrastructure--wasn't infrastructure some kind of code for impending doom at one point near the beginning of Trump's term?

wonder what the people shaming AOC for dancing in a video think about Brett Kavanaugh getting blackout drunk and sexually assaulting young ladies in high school

So one of the baldheads mentioned he worked for 10 years in Naco, AZ and they need a wall... there's been a wall there for over 40 years (here's a google streetview from 2011):

https://www.google.com/maps/@31.3345331,-109.9421873,3a,75y,178.52h,84.51t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s9rdzGhwZl5csQG4qQ2z0wg!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D9rdzGhwZl5csQG4qQ2z0wg%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D142.06607%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656

Not only that but 3 years ago the DHS found a 900 foot tunnel under the aforementioned wall.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 3 January 2019 21:43 (five years ago) link

Trump was just trying to get the spotlight off Pelosi

I don't think there will be Wall ever, but am pretty curious how they'd all respond when an illegal immigrant commits murder after it's in place

Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said Thursday that he’s done with elected office.

“There’s no way I’ll return to it,” Gowdy told The Greenville News. “I’m not going to lobby. And if I enjoyed politics, I wouldn’t be leaving.”

Instead, he’s joined Nelson, Mullins, Riley & Scarborough as head of the firm’s white-collar defense and government investigations team, the News reported.

“If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have run for Congress in the first place,” Gowdy said, adding: “I will keep the relationships, but I will not be on the ballot ever again.”

must be hard to realize you belong to a party of complete fucking assholes who should be ashamed of themselves for every millisecond of every life they ever live again throughout eternity

Trump floating Webb's name as Mattis replacement. Bipartisanship!

Funny that it took the right so long to find that AOC video, which I came across the day after she won the primary.

Trϵϵship, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:33 (five years ago) link

it's better than a non-story it only has people liking her more imo

(•̪●) (carne asada), Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:34 (five years ago) link

It’s part of their whole agenda. Poverty wages. Paranoia.

Trϵϵship, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:34 (five years ago) link

It's a nice story about people dancing to a great song and having fun. Makes me want to listen to Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix again for the first time in years.

Frederik B, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:36 (five years ago) link

lol mookie

sans lep (sic), Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:36 (five years ago) link

I want this to be a story for as long as possible honestly

frogbs, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:43 (five years ago) link

1901 is such a great song.

Frederik B, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:50 (five years ago) link

the public needs to know what other dances AOC knows

can she teach us how to dougie?

Οὖτις, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:52 (five years ago) link

what about the freak, the Patti Duke, or the spank?

Οὖτις, Thursday, 3 January 2019 22:52 (five years ago) link

There will definitely be more dance videos as a result. Maybe even some copycats.

Maybe she can do the Electric Slide and capture some of that "rural" vote.

xp - maybe not fakes, but there's a good chance those have been digitally enhanced for added visual grotesquerie
