Lu, a hippo brought to Florida for a movie set in Africa, died last year at the age of 65, making him the oldest known hippo in the world. When filming was done there was some question as to what to do with Lu, but the State of Florida decided to adopt him and give him a home at Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park where he became a beloved attraction. He often thrilled crowds by chomping down on and swallowing a whole watermelon or pumpkin in one bite. Kids loved him and he seemed to love people.
The Hawaii and Guns decision is especially bad. Hawaii had said that you can't bring a gun on private property without the owner's explicit approval. The Supreme Court said gun rights trumps that. If you can't ban guns fro, your own property what rights do you have?
Ohio's concealed carry law only got the support of law enforcement by including a provision that businesses could prohibit cc in their businesses. Guess that just got shitcanned.
I can tell you first hand that Kelsey Grammer is a total fucking asshole. He absolutely tanked a show my friend created. He was late to every rehearsal and taping, NEVER knew his lines, fucked up every take, and got the show cancelled. Then he had the audacity to shit talk the show on Leno. He's just an entitled, arrogant hypocrite.

We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections."

Jesse (12 y..o. boy) Watters, on The Five: “Trump talks a lot, he says a lot of things, so yeah, he’s gonna mention Barack Hussein Obama,” Watters said on Thursday. “Part of that is just he likes to say Hussein.” “Why does he like to say Hussein?” co-host Jessica Tarlov asked. “’Cause it’s funny that the president’s middle name was Hussein,” Watters said. “You don’t think that’s hysterical?”
Tarlov quipped that Trump clearly emphasizes Obama’s middle name because he wants to continue trying to persuade people that the former president is Muslim. Watters went on to claim that Obama said he was a Muslim during the 2008 presidential campaign, likely referring to an ABC interview where the then-senator mistakenly said “my Muslim faith,” before quickly correcting himself.
“I don’t know what he is. I don’t care what he is; he’s probably an atheist,” Watters said. “You know what he is,” Tarlov said. “I know he’s retired, poor Michelle,” Watters replied.
Sec/Trans Sean Duffy at Trump250 Rally: “I think we have to give a big round of applause for our military band and singers,” he told the crowd. “Way better than those libtards that canceled on us. So much better. Thank you, guys. President Trump will make you famous.”
Duffy’s insult, which combines the words “liberal” and “retard,” was received poorly on social media, in part because he said it while standing next to his youngest daughter, Valentina, who has Down syndrome. HuffPost reached out to Duffy for a response to all the attention his choice of words got:
“I will not be lectured by the same people who want to abort babies with special needs,” Duffy said. “Rather than policing language, maybe liberals should spend time with these beautiful children, acknowledge their humanity, and while they’re at it, try loving their country more than they hate President Trump.”
seems like a lot of conservatives attempting to reproduce quiverfull numbers of children tend to moderate their views when their god decides to bless them with a child having some kind of developmental disability.

Have a nice weekend!
The Hippopotamus
wiggles his ears when he's mad
and yawns so wide
you can see his gonads
I know I already posted this one but it's too good not to post again!
Yeah, I need a drink too, lil hippo.
You can never have too much hippo.
High colonic the hard way.
Big deal, we were drinking from the garden hose when we were kids!
The original energy drink!

Wow, 65!
Lunchtime for big Lu on his 64th birthday.

Today, we are all that hippo.
Hippo Water Pik!!
Me and my pygmy hippo over by the water pik bush
"It was time for baby's first dental cleaning."
WHARGLE!
!!!

LOL!
Hippo says "I want all of this watah in my mout!"
Hippo better cut that out or risk getting arrested. That's runoff from the Reflecting Pool.
Nuh-uh, that water isn't green!
Perfect gif for this Friday MG! Lately, I feel like I'm that hippo and the water gushing out of that pipe is "life" coming at me - I can't keep up!
I feel that! I hope you can take a bit of time away from *waves arms* all of it and have some time to relax and unwind this weekend.
Thirsty Thirsty Hippos
That would be fun, but kids, take it outside.
You have a nice weekend, too, Martini Glambassador.
Quench that thirst, Masti!
The woman who was tracked down by the ICEers is one brave bitch, and I mean that in the best possible way.
I wonder if Darren Blanchard of Claremore, Oklahoma voted for Trump.
The Syracuse story is the kind of shit the crappy swamp liner distraction is covering up. And the Paxton one too. Thank you Wonkette.

That IS fucking insane.
•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•
they will make it illegal for private businesses to espouse views on sex or gender or gender identity?
•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•---•
So in other words if me (a cis-gendered gay MAN) shows up at a CURVES (gym for the womenz) and want to work out - they can’t stop me?
Does that mean there is no longer such a thing as a GAY BAR? (Where LGBTQ+ persons find community and sanctuary)
For God's Sake, Kelsey!

God the Supremes are horribly racist. Amy Comey Barrett adopted a child from Haiti. WTAF?!!!
The highlighted section of the Texas bill requires bigots to not be bigots toward transgender people. Surely that's not what they meant.
It is so horribly awful. Banning even mental health? I guess torture by conversion camps are ok for them though.

Coerced into any speech that's not Evangelical Christian. It's a typo.
Question: Is anyone else here as pointlessly fascinated as I am by the Reckless Ben vs. Bricks and Minifigs Lego story?
This dumb but captivating caper is custom-made for Steven Soderberg to direct a merciless but hilarious film adaptation.

Isn't it just amazing how he lives rent-free in practically every conservative's head.
Thanks, Obama!
WHO CARES, JESSE? What is it with these people who care about these strange things?
(These are people who did NOT see Michelle's beautiful homage to her husband. )

This is what you get when an entitled no-talent reality show douchenozzle is given a position of power.
seems like a lot of conservatives attempting to reproduce quiverfull numbers of children tend to moderate their views when their god decides to bless them with a child having some kind of developmental disability.
1) these idiots have this weird notion that us liberals don't have kids we love and care about (with Downs or otherwise)
B) because we love our country, we despise the nation-destroyin Trump
