When this story broke one of my former coworker acquaintances who surprised me by being a Trumpkin (when that sort of thing still surprised me in an amused sort of way), posted this:

If I thought there was any value to it I would have asked him about these:


But I felt like the social pressure this dude is under was more likely to turn him pro-big game hunting than make him think about anything critically.

It's almost as if having a system where state supreme court seats are filled by partisan elections is a really ****ing stupid idea.

I dunno what happened but since the election you’ve gone from one of the funniest posters to basically keed level garbage.

I remember this being foretold by some guy on CNN, I can't recall his name now but he's a big NFIP hater for this reason. When people say things like, "Floods are man-made disasters," this is what they're talking about. Another decent article on the subject written right after Harvey: https://www.politico.com/magazine/st...hington-215549

The Sean Spicer Suit incident was my 9/11.

Better serendipity would have been having that "Africa Digest" account be the one to break this story.

Looks like the Pruitt voters in the poll can collect their winnings.

Pruitt Out

NYT has a good explainer on what's happening with the sudden political crisis in Germany over migrants.

Cliffs: Merkel's party is in a governing coalition with a more conservative party that's dominant in Bavaria, and the interior minister (who's from that party) threatened to blow up the coalition if Germany didn't do something about migrants, because he's worried about his party getting outflanked from the right at home in Bavaria. To compromise, Merkel said Germany would set up camps along the Austrian border to house and review migrants' status, which is significant because it means policing a border that according to the Schengen area should be open.

There's a huge amount of symbolism in Merkel, one of the more visible faces and proponents of the EU, compromising away some of its core values, and would likely start a trend of some of the more anti-EU member states saying "**** it, if Merkel can do this, why aren't we?"

Article has a lot more details.

God dammit, I've been picking that ******* since April and when I finally give in and accept he's going to be around forever he finally crosses the line and gets the boot.

OF COURSE HE IS I DID NOT CHOOSE HIM THIS MONTH

It took a whistleblower who is a bona fide Trumpstain to get rid of him.

Figures that losing Ingrahm's support did him in.

"We'll call it draw."

Lol Pruit.

yup

"PUT THE LOTION IN THE ****ING BASKET"

Can I change my vote to someone else? There's a lot of July left.

Cannot change your vote, but you may still win.

The Douchebag Who Voted After the News Broke Award goes to miajag.

Why do we not lock the voting on the 2nd or 3rd?

I just can't help but think there is going to be a curtain call-like moment when all of the vanquished characters come back out on stage and take their bows as they are re-appointed by the "President for Life" or whatever he calls himself in a few years.

I'm gonna vote Pruitt right now. F the haters.
