Couple of things. A) Minnesotans changing their horn sounds to a mariachi band playing “The Mexican Hat Dance.” would be freaking hilarious. C'mon Minnesota, make happen. Andale, rapidamente, ay, ay, ayeeee! And B) oh, some of the younger folks reading this will be hitting the google up for the Buster Keaton reference. We olds get it and offer you kudos!
Recently watched the Zone of Interest about Commandant Hoss. Haunting film depicting how Hoss and his family lived a somewhat idyllic life on the land of Auschwitz extermination centre. Hoss is portrayed as someone in the film with a single drive to efficiency and promotion without any awareness that he is abusing and executing real human beings. Stephen Miller may wish to be like Goebbels but he definitely has Hoss’s behavior nailed down.
I assume that Stephen Miller quote was verbal, as in "spoken" to Mr.Kirk like on the radio or to the "stream' or whatever. Having hever watched or listened, I'm a bit in the dark so, how precisely do you, or Mr. Miller, pronounce "natl." ? Is it "nattle", I'll bet it's "nattle."
The practice of Defamation Wonklaw has certainly gotten interesting over the past few years. Fortunately, like a number of Wonkers, I am frequently at the bar.
A new one, or new to me, is a 16-year-old kid in Houston who was choked to unconsciousness by ICEc*nts who put him in a choker hold.
He was released after they finally checked his info.
He had such a severe injury to the neck his mom took him to the hospital.
His phone, which he used to record part of the encounter, was seized. When he used a tracking device he learned it had been sold to a used phone kiosk.
Yeah, just steal a phone and sell it, our brave law enforcement.*
Reportedly, Houston police refused to even take a report about his assault or stolen phone.
* When the Brown Shirts attacked the German trade unions on Labor Day, they often stole the money from the union coffers. Just sayin'.
I was serious about the death whistles, they deserve to hear them. Have you heard one? I suggested this because ICE should experience them. These whistles sound like the embodiment of what they are doing to people from killing to beating to disappearing.
As an aside, have you ever watched the tv show MASH? If you have you might understand why some people joke when shit is horrific.
Of course I’ve seen MASH - both the show and the movie
I’m not talking about whistling in the dark or past the graveyard —
I’m talking about knowing your audience when you’re “just commenting” but apparently either don’t know or don’t care about who might be reading what you’re writing and showing some empathy considering, again, that the situation in the country is much more dire right now for some people for others, and taking that into account with respect to which tune you choose to whistle at any given moment
Can you explain your point? Because I don't understand what is disrespectful about using those Aztec death whistles. Or was it the Mexican Hat Dance that is disrespectful? It would really help if you explained your critique instead of just repeating that a critique exists.
I have several and would like to use them, but one is black and would probably get me shot for having a long black thing that is obviously a deadly polyethylene weapon.
Maybe I should paint it shiny pinks and sparkly first. I have excellent lungs and can blow for a very long time. Yes, yes I can.
Those Trumpheads would just insist on buying them from us to get the rare earths. Which is insane, because you cannot play "Get Ready" on those things. And the original is better anyway.
The racist troll Jake Lloyd didn't have a great day here. He was accompanied by five (5) other racists. There were about 300 non-racists to greet him.
He had a Mr Microphone to yell insults that were drowned out, and played the Vanilla Ice song because he's that cool.
At one point the Mpls cops apparently took a smoke break, and Lloyd got drenched by water balloons. It was about 10 F, with a windchill just below 0 F.
He claimed he had a permit to protest inside City Hall, which is closed on weekends, and cops tole gim no, he didn't have a permit so time to leave.
He was "escorted" back to his hotel. Later, one of his pals posted a video on social media showing Lloyd bleeding from his head. The many photos of him in local media show no such thing, so it's fake or staged and nobody cares which.
A pal with him today, "Zak X," was charged a couple weeks back with assault, for attacking a protester at the Whipple building here. "X" claims he got fired from his job to silence him. Or because his former employer didn't want to keep a guy so stupid he attacked somebody on video in broad daylight right in front of the cops.
Jake, Zak; you're no Big Balls. Nobody's going to bother with you enough to use you as a pretext.
Not sure what you're gonna do with the bacon-stuffed Qu'ran you brought to burn and never got around to burning.
There is a fabulously goofy video by the two girlies who rescued him because they didn't know who he was, other than a human in distress being chased by a mob. Their car got smashed up and they got his info so he can pay them back for the damage. They made a video about it as soon as they found out who he was that was several minutes of "We had nooooo idea he was a piece of shit. We hate ICE and what they're doing here. Don't hate us for helping a stranger." It's just so genuine and cute, considering everything going on.
And one of the girlies is trans, so this dude was saved by that Black guy escorting him, and then a trans person getting him out of the area. Will he change his hateful evil ways, like a reformed Scrooge?
I am so sick and tired of Trump and his cronies ( including Miller ) invoking "national security" over every fucking thing. The only "security" they worried about is their own personal security, and fuck the nation.
I love to see Gary's satires, I only wish the people in Trump's administration had both the access to his work and the intelligence to recognize that they're being ridiculed.
The Pedo Protection Party has been running this game for my entire life. They found long ago that " national security" is the magic spell opening all doors, permitting them any goddamn thing they want to do and who are YOU to compromise our Nat.Sec.? It is a signed hall pass to excuse everything that comes before a court. Judges of all ranks knock heads (kowtow) before this powerful cantrip, not daring to question it.
Oh, I know that's how they're trying to use it - but most of the time, it's like that declaration of "emergency" that they used to allow the asshole to impose his tariffs - an entirely made up piece of shit lie which is part of the case being tried at SCOTUS. I don't know how long we're going to have to wait for a ruling, but SCOTUS will only damage any remaining legitimacy if they rule that that "declaration" is enough. All economic indicators show that Trump is lying, but what else is new?
I sincerely hope neither you nor anyone else is wasting much faith on those corrupt reactionaries on the Supreme Court. We, collectively, have been hoping for a savior all this while; Merrick fucking Garland for starters, and didn't he turn out to be a frigging hero. A regular goddamn Batman. Once in a while what is left of Roberts's conscience gives him a twinge, but that poor thing should be on life support, it isn't doing very well. Even Strip Search Sammy Scalito gets these rare seizures of decency, hard to credit as it is. But the rewards for selling us all down the river are many and tangible while standing up to the wingnut wall of perpetual outrage doesn't pay very well.
I did say they would damage "any remaining" legitimacy. Obviously, you're in the position of feeling that they have already sacrificed ALL legitimacy ( of course, we're talking about the Stupid Six on the Court, not our three "liberal" Justices ).
I suspect I'm thinking more of the institution, while you seem focused on the asshole individuals running that institution now.
Brilliant! Hilarious!! Just what I needed on an especially bleak news day.
We know you love us, Wonkette. We love you, also too.
This is funny, but depressing too. 😁 😟

How about we steal their thunder? Make America Great Again - get rid of Donald Fucking Trump. MAGAgrodft!
I like it! Sticks to the roof of my mouth!
I'll keep my whistle. It was my grandfathers when he was a doughboy medic in WW1 fighting trash like ICE.

It’s nazi.
Why not? Stephen Miller and Bibibibi Netanyahu have done it?
They are the larval form of Death Squads.
Every day, when I open my refrigerator, I nod to the bottle of Moët that I have chilling for the day this human butt zit stops breathing.
There are so many butt zits around I hope your Moet is at least a Magnum, maybe even a Jeroboam. A Mathusalem might even be called for.
I have a wonderful outfit picked out for that day...
I have several outfits planned, as I expect to be up for days.
Just like usual, I fail to plan ahead! 😂
I plan ahead to fail in the hygiene and sobriety departments.
Humanoid butt zit, please.
Butt zit libel

It seems a little passive aggressive of Minnesotans being so ungrateful about being murdered
And I have always heard that they were nice.
If protesters started using Aztec death whistles the ICE follies would be begging for Mexican Hat Dance.
You know they went into a Mexican restaurant to eat ...
and then came back and rounded up the people who had served them
I know it's important to find ways to keep our spirits up, but this is really much less funny for some people than for others

I can distinguish between the two. Can you?

We could also send vuvuzelas.

Maybe I should paint it shiny pinks and sparkly first. I have excellent lungs and can blow for a very long time. Yes, yes I can.
Careful with the glitter. Bright, non-threatening colors FTW.
Those Trumpheads would just insist on buying them from us to get the rare earths. Which is insane, because you cannot play "Get Ready" on those things. And the original is better anyway.
go bills!!!!
Sadly, Bills went. So have da Bears.
Both in overtime with the help of the refs.
The weekly protest in front of the Tesla dealership was back up to summer levels, stretching at least a good quarter mile.
The racist troll Jake Lloyd didn't have a great day here. He was accompanied by five (5) other racists. There were about 300 non-racists to greet him.

Oh, and it seems nobody was arrested.
