A Vegas conventioneer wakes up from a blind drunk next to a strange woman who's wearing a matching wedding band to one he discovers around his own finger.

He grabs his suitcase and golf clubs and tiptoes to the door. Just as he's closing it, she wakes up and says, "honey, we just got married! Come back to bed and let's make love."

Thinking quickly, he says, "um, uh, I forgot to tell you I'm addicted to golf, and I have to play first thing in the morning before coffee or anything else. Sorry, I should have been more honest with you."

"Oh, that's okay, honey," she replies. I should have been more honest with you too. You see, I'm a hooker."

He grabs a 7 iron out of his bag, takes a stance, and says, "you just want to turn your grip around a little like this."

Just helping young women with their tuition.

In Raleigh, North Carolina, a small crowd of antifa and anti-racist protesters gathered at the park where the "White Lives Matter" march was planned. They marched around downtown behind a large white sign that read, "WE ACCEPT YOUR SURRENDER."

LOL.

So, what is HR1 based on???, other than one party rule, that is.

White Lives Matter march turnout was limp and disappointing.

Not like those Black Lives Matter marches, they are a riot.

In other news, people are saying the Secret Service has changed Flight Risk's codename to "Gone Girl".

I don't know if it's true, but people are saying it.

Well, I guess the owners could be at ease that the workers wouldn't steal from him.

Petty, petty, big fat orange loser.

I hear Black Rifle Coffee is hiring... LOL

It is a sad day for this country when such a large portion of United States citizens and politicians of all ages can not differentiate fact from fiction, keep themselves from becoming duped by an obvious con-artist or sink and become lost under the muck of conspiracy theories.

And most of those deaths were preventable if morons in america hadn't elected a moron president.

Not buying it for a second. Businesses know which side their bread is buttered on. They may go through the motions to avoid consumer boycotts and bad publicity, but they'll be coughing up their campaign bribes to the GOP in short order.

The rich and powerful have been working to corrupt our government for generations. The only way we're going to protect our democracy is through the ballot box. Unfortunately, some people will have to miss work and stand in line for hours to exercise the right that others fought for in battle and others braved police dogs, firehoses, and lynchings to earn.

It's a crappy situation, but that's the stark choice the GOP has given us with its embrace of the voter fraud Big Lie.

NOW he says his statements were "Grossly Inappropriate" - except they were then too and he knew it. These "freedumb" types who think they can get away with Libel are funny when the people go after them for their false claims.

You know if ----- hadn't acted so much like
a flaming ------ during his own tenure in Congress,
I might be willing to lend him a little more
credence. Sure he's right about Cruz and several
of the other Republicans, but the same could
have been said about himself when he served.

Being a parent and a grandparent I do understand the devastation that those kids have to deal with. There is not way to make any of that ok for them, it is devastating. Pretending otherwise is totally awful. These kids are going through the worst family problems that are possible. We need to insure that their lives don't fall apart. we need to insure that their lives will continue with as few changes as possible. We should not try to diminish the harm to these kids. It is huge! It is life changing!

Maybe Trump never paid him.

Maybe? LOL. Is there any evidence Lewzer has actually paid anyone other than Stormy?

Back the blue or support the troops?

Secretary of state is next in line to the governorship in AZ. No lieutenant governor here. That's how we ended up with finger wagging Brewer when Janet Napolitano accepted Obama's offer.

Clover, my love. I have clover on the North side of my house. It's actually a tiny little bulb down about a foot deep here. It grows here in the desert from late fall til spring and when it pops up it gives me fresh hope having survived another summer. That and when Orion pops his head up.

It actually doesn't grow naturally in the desert, I just have it in my yard.

And it's saying goodbye for the season. Waiting for fall a reason to live.

The traitor Republicans in America have flaunted masks, social distancing, shutdowns, government, black people, women and have very openly decreed that they are free to die of COVID if they want.

Now, they are going through a spike in cases, and people are dying.

It's not rocket surgery. They made their choices, just like Texas, Mississippi and Florida. Their freedom to be a**holes trumps their problem with vaccines. I want this to be over as much as the next guy, but I've spent the last year of my life doing everything I need to stay alive, and it has affected me tremendously. Personal responsibility has consequences.

Michigan's thumb area, where the worst of Michigan's outbreak is, is red red red red. Now you know why they're getting the worst of COVID.

Just keep it off the 59. Like Jan and Dean sang, the 59 in Houston is no place to play...

Our agency has a policy that requires you to carry your taser on your weak hand side. The change was made after the Oscar Grant killing in 2009. We train using our taser with our weak hand for the same reason. I cannot believe ANYBODY in MN is doing traffic stops aside from the most flagrant violations during the Chauvin trial, because things are already tense, and this will only make things much worse.

He/him is a she/her

we'll be setting ourselves up to let the virus keep spreading, and keep mutating, continuing to give us new variants that will continue to pose new threats....

Ugh. I'm tired of reading this ignorant thinking by journalists who apparently have little to no training in microbiology or virology.

There isn't unlimited evolutionary space. There are only so many changes the virus can make to evade human immune responses, so the rise of new variants later this year or next year or three years from now isn't going to make it a brand spanking new virus that's invisible to existing immunity. These initial changes (increased binding strength to ACE2, major changes in S that partially evade antibody immunity) are entirely predictable as the virus evolves to humans as its new primary host.

But once it's adapted to humans as it's primary host, more than likely it will remain with us as a seasonal virus that will have variations in seasonal severity and case loads as existing population immunity waxes and wanes.

There may be the need for booster vaccinations at intervals, but with the slow rate of mutation in coronaviruses compared to influenza viruses I don't see that as being terribly likely and if they are needed they would be infrequent.

Several years ago, I adopted a young dog I'd been fostering for 9 months to a wonderful family in Toronto. Among other things (like being an incredible ball shagger), I'd taught him to offer a paw and shake.

I met them halfway between Nashville and Toronto. A couple of hours later, they sent me the cutest picture taken at immigration on the Canadian side of the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor.

The Canadian immigration officer had them pull off to the inspection area to check Buddy's vaccination records. They all got out of the car. Buddy sat and offered the immigration guy a paw. Thinking quickly, the immigration officer swore him in as a newly minted Canadian citizen and let them take pictures and video of the 'ceremony.'

And what's this crap about the driver having an 'air freshener' potentially blocking his view as the reason for stopping him? Not when the police report also stated that the window tint prevented them from seeing if there were other people in the car. First off, who cares if there were other people the car in the first place. And if the window tint was that dark, then how in the heck did they see the 'air freshener' hanging from the rear-view mirror? I can't help but think that this was just another case of profiling and the police were just flexing their muscles during the Derek Chauvin trial.

OCU

... She says there was no widespread fraud and that her own party is attacking her for refusing to "put my thumb on the scale of democracy." Barbara Cegavske, the only Republican statewide office holder in Nevada ...

A pretty good summary, that she gave there.

At this point, a substantial number of Republicans are beginning to look like cry-babies who throw temper-tantrums (and worse, e.g. Jan 6) when the election does not go their way.

Such leadership abilities they are showing.

Those kids can grow up proud knowing that their parent died for the economy because some things are more important than living.

BTW, how do you know the DOJ isn't building their cases as we speak, in preparation for 2022 and 2024? Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't happening. The best way to get them out is bullet proof evidence when they try to run for office again.

Because of democrat's track record. They're so afraid of repubs getting mad and crying that they never do the right thing, even though repubs will get mad and cry no matter what they do.

"(Dems) are great at missing golden opportunities"

If Dems were a baseball team, they'd lead the league in blown leads. #winning!

No the best way is to strike when the iron is hot
The more time passes the less urgency will be

@#3 ... In any case, there is a real need for civil forfeiture to be looked at and rule on. ...

Yup.

In any case, there is a real need for civil forfeiture to be looked at and rule on. What I've read about it suggests a serious, systemic problem.

It's just too bad it took a whiny snowflake Repub being angry to find his own policy preferences being used against him to make it happen.
