How To Spend Someone Else’s Money….
….let me count the ways.
“Let Them Eat Cake”
A quote attributed to Marie Antoinette, who allegedly spoke it in regard to her peasants having no bread to eat. Regardless of whether that actually happened, it is still the snobbiest way of saying “fuck them and what they want.”
Marie Antoinette: “Let them eat cake.”
Snooty French Guy: “They don’t have cake either.”
Marie Antoinette: “Did I fucking stutter?”
What an absolute, unmitigated, disaster. Actually, it’s worse than that; it is an intentional boot in the groin to the American people who not only voted for the President but who have been voting for a political party to stop this since at least the 2010 election. Louisiana Senator Kennedy is dead right when he says that this bill is Congress urinating on the leg of the American people. And that is being extremely mild about it. It looks as if the President is going to sign this and then that will be that. There are those MAGA stalwarts who look on this bill as a betrayal of the President. Well, it is. But if he signs the bill then can these people be intellectually honest and still say the same thing? Ronald Reagan on several occasions told Congress to pound sand when they pulled stunts like this and whipped out his veto pen. And he didn’t have control of both houses of Congress either. Sure, even if the President did veto this bill, McTraitor and Ryno would still whip the votes to override him. But it’s the principle of the thing – the very reason that PDT ran in the first place which is to drain the swamp and secure the border with the wall. Signing this bill may very well signal the moment he pisses away his presidency. Well, at least Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States of America. And, by the way, GO TO HELL, GOP. Keep Reading…..
Being Offended Is Not A Bad Thing
“The whole idea of ‘hate speech’ needs to be removed from our legal system immediately. Aside from the numerous problems involved with deciding what is and what isn’t ‘hate speech’ (and who gets to define what it is), allowing the most timorous snowflakes to set the boundaries is a surefire recipe for tyranny. And besides all that, the expectation that you somehow have a right not to be offended is ludicrous. Being offended is good. Being offended is healthy. Being offended leads to self-examination. That’s how discourse progresses. Anything new is bound to offend at least one person. If nobody is offended, then nobody is thinking.”
Golden Parachute
Andrew McCabe or Andy, (as his text pals call him), graduated from college in 1993. He spent three years in a private practice firm before joining the FBI so he was basically in the work force out of college for 23 years, 20 with the FBI, it’s rumored he’s worth 11 million. His wife is a pediatrician and makes a butt load of money, between the two incomes plus investments they have no worries, Andy will be fine regardless of losing a pension.
I don’t have an issue with Andy boy’s money, I’m just wondering how you make almost $60,000 per year in pension , (plus benefits) , after twenty years work? That’s a pretty sweet gig. With politicians spouting off about how they need to raise the retirement age to 75 to save social security it must be nice to bail out at 50 like McCabe.
I’m 38 years in the work force and counting, that doesn’t include the part time jobs I worked as a teen and in high school, if I work to 70 I will have been working for fifty years.
So before he was fired Andy McCabe had the option to retire at 50 after 20 and I retire at 70 after 50, seems one might say……assbackwards.
I don’t disparage McCabes ability to retire early, I’m quite envious, I am pissed that Andy and his fellow government employees get that opportunity while the private sector is expected to work a few decades longer to pay for it.
Careful What You Wish For
Democrats, who are all over Twitter at the moment defending McCabe, are making a huge mistake. They will be embarrassed when the details come out. The Office of Professional Responsibility is not a partisan adjunct of the Republican Party or anything close. Furthermore, it was the Democratic Party that called for the inspector general to investigate. He was appointed by Obama. As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Keep reading……

Fun With Facts
Bye Bye Bitch
Claiming chaos surrounding all of his lies caused him to…….lie.
See ya McCabe, and I hope you end up taking your partisan little bitches with you. Long overdue.
Irony 101
In 480 BC, the Persian king Xerxes demanded that the Spartans give up their weapons. King Leonidas responded with the phrase ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ (molon labe) which meant “Come and take them.” This led to the Battle of Thermopylae, in which a small group of Greek warriors held off a far superior group of Persians for three days.
Similarly, in 1831, the Mexican army gave a small piece of field artillery to settlers in Gonzales, Texas, to help them fend off Indian attacks. At the onset of the Texas Revolution, the Mexican army asked for the cannon back. In response, the settlers raised a homemade flag with an image of the weapon and the words “Come and Take It” emblazoned across it.
The twin phrases “ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ/molon labe” and “Come and Take It” have become synonymous with the promotion of the Second Amendment and other fundamental liberties. They are antithetical to the idea of unilateral disarmament.
Today, snowflakes across the country walked out of class to protest “gun violence” and demand new confiscatory gun laws. The ignorant millennial in the photo was part of today’s Tide Pod Walkout. Note the slogan (and date) on her shirt, and the protest sign in her hands.
Seriously–this is the most ironic photo I’ve seen in a long time.
Just Because…..
…..nice shorts.
No, she’s not shooting at the Gadsden flag.
No, I can’t read her shirt.
No, I don’t know why the flag is sideways.
Yes, she’s over 18…..I’m pretty sure…..probably.
This Isn’t A Hillary Thought, This Is What Liberals Believe
“There’s all that red in the middle, where Trump won. Now, I win the coasts, I win Illinois, Minnesota, places like that. But what the map doesn’t show you is that I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product. So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward, and his whole campaign, Make America Great Again, was looking backwards. “You don’t like black people getting rights, you don’t like women getting jobs, you don’t want to see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are, whatever your problem is, I’m going to solve it.” _ Hillary Clinton
