Love the lawyer comic! Lawyers get no love. And I like the Stephen Hawking video too, LOL.
At our local city hall, we have power hand dryers in the bathrooms and no paper towels. The reason being is people that come to city hall and are pissed off about (fill in the blank) would stuff paper towels in the toilet to clog it up then flush it to flood the bathroom.
HAHAHA! The Lawyer comic :) And the one with the dentist! Made me smile :)
Debra:I've often thought the whole hate-lawyers thing is short-sighted.
Mike: If people are that pissed off (and assholes to that degree), they'll probably bring their own paper towels.
Martha: I dunno -- I wouldn't go to that dentist myself.....
The Puritan valentines were hilarious! I can imagine Mike Pence sending them to Mother. The heart-shaped food gift made me laugh so loudly, I scared the dog.
Interesting how many people checked to see what might have been behind the pic of Vlad the Topless.
Catnip cat is the Melania of cats (but catnip is money). The pic that made me scare the dog again was the diagram of the accident for the insurance company. Hilarious!!
I think I'll wait for the toilet brush machine gun. The guy better hurry before a Dem wins in November, and they're outlawed.
Gillian Anderson of the X-rated Files?
I like to think of Stephen Hawking floating through the Universe and singing.
That Amazon box story made me laugh. After a several-day saga of fighting with AT&T because nothing worked, I asked for a new remote from for my TV, because the old one's pause button keeps crapping out. Because their service is so fabulous (my TV just stopped working as I am typing this, I shit you not), they sent me 5.
Time to peel potatoes. More links later!
Nonnie: Interesting that Putin doesn't seem to be very popular in Moscow. I suppose Russia may have a divide between liberal cities and pro-Putin countryside, paralleling what we have.
The toilet brush gun guy is German, so he's probably safe.
Gillian Anderson of the X-rated Files
That's a show a lot of people would watch.
Thanks for the tip on AT&T. I'll avoid them when choosing internet providers in the future. You should sell the extra remote controls on the net or something.
"Republicans no longer even pretend to play by the rules. "
The sad thing is....they have not been playing by the rules for years. By my observation, it goes way back to the 1990s. And then there's how they stopped the recount in Florida in 2000 while also denying African-American voters their right to vote. And then there's the invasion of Iraq. And of course their anti-environment, anti-women, anti-LGBT legislation and how they basically said out loud how they wanted President Barack Obama to be a one-term President...
...Which brings us to Trump, who was elected due in part to the GOP's voter suppression tactics and Russian disinformation which the GOP pretty much was okay with, since it also helped them.
Yep, the GOP went over the edge a while ago. They intend to take the country with them, and while many are trying to stop that, others just sit back and let themselves get pulled to the edge, muttering, "Both parties are the same!" under their breath.
