Even when he makes eye contact with someone, he manages to look like he's avoiding it.

He takes "shifty-eyed" to a masterful level.

They sure as shit cannot prevent forest fires. In fact, it seems that they are doing everything to encourage the conditions that cause forest fires. And to keep saying the quiet parts out loud. Something something, anti-intellectualism, something something.

My guess? it has to do with having around 6000 non-comments per weekday. Most pages see a few hundred, tops.

Is this enough to buy a McLaren F1? Asking for a friend.

I gotta give Cowfucker credit. He'd be the German Soldier who stood with Hitler in the bunker, praising the Fuhrer, while listening to the whistle of the bombs about to blow him and his idol into smithereens. The loyal, but incredibly stupid sidekick. One has to assume that should the upcoming election go the Democrats way, Cowfucker stands a good chance of being expelled from the House. If not that, he, like his mentor, has now admitted to Obstruction in a criminal prosecution that even Rudy Giuliani could win.On the sunnier side for Cowfucker, there are many prisons that operate as fully functioning dairy and agricultural farms.

Goblins were always the baddies in the mythology, violent and rather stupid. Redcaps were the epitome of them. I love Celtic mythology too.

Except for soaking their hats in blood of their victims to keep it red, IIRC. But the goblin part fits.

Nunes doesn't live in Fresno county. The fact is that his district snakes through Tulare, Fresno, and Kern county. Kern county split three congressional districts, Tulare is three, and Kern three. Repersentive Nunes lives Hansford witch is in Tulare county, and most of the people who voted for him in last several elections probably live in Kern and Tulare counties.

Really!

redcap

In sense of "porter", 1890s US; compare contemporary Japanese 赤帽 (akabou). On Labor Day, 1890, John Williams,[1] an African-American railway porter, tied a red ribbon to his black uniform cap to stand out from the crowd at Grand Central Terminal. The strategy was so successful that it was soon adopted by others in the profession, leading to the synecdochic use of redcap as a term for all railway porters.[2]

Really? Redcaps are a medieval faerie-goblin from Anglo-Scotts folklore. Nasty little buggers. They kill travelers and dip their hats in their victims' blood, hence the name. Not something you'd want to have carrying your bags!

Eight yrs of harassing Hillary, and nothing came out of it. Was completely humiliated. The moron could have been a hero, by finding the idiot in chief culpable of true crimes, but chooses to go down as an accomplice.
