Cheap shots, plus some videos you should see.

 

Cheap Shots:

This is not a well man.

I promise you Kayleigh, if it actually happens I'll mention it.

No respect.

I wonder if the Secret Service is aware that while the texts themselves may not be recovered, the fact that they happened can be with a simple subpoena to their cell phone company.

Needs a John Williams theme.

He's fucking earned it.

And have a few fun videos...

Cheap Shots (Monday is Rum day!):

For some people, it seems to be "Fuck your First Amendment".

And Fuck your god.

To all yinz and youse.

Abort the Court.

Killing in the name of.

42.

Fox "News" is having a bad day.

To my fellow UCLA Bruin; sorry, don't know. Apparently she was farted on by Rudy?

It's not a cease-fire in only one side ceases.

I'm not the biggest fan of Medhi Hasan, mostly because he has a habit of interrupting people and not because I desagree with his point of view. But this is pretty damn good.

Somebody call Sheriff Brody.

Being a Republican means an extra utility bill.

Do it! Do it! Do it!

I have a couple of observations for you "Christians" who are forcing your beliefs upon the rest of us. First of all, as I'm not a member of your cult why should I observe laws based upon your religious beliefs? You wouldn't do the same for me.

Oh, and how dare I call you a cult? How dare you call yourselves Christians. I've read your book cover to cover and there's something that I notice that apparently all of you haven't. Setting aside whether or not abortion is a sin or not (it's not, but for the sake of argument we're ignoring that for a moment) there's something that your God NEVER DOES. He never takes away from people the choice to sin.

Think about it, and re-read that book you've been cherry-picking things from. People get warnings. People are dealt consequences. People and punished and people aren't. But never is the choice taken away from them and that's what you've done with the abortion restrictions and bans. You've taken the devil's path. Your own book says so. Perhaps you should re-read it with an eye on comprehension.

We're trying to save you, and we're failing.

Other points worth making - this past week a 10 year-old girl was denied an abortion after being made pregnant by her rapist - and before you get into the whole "consent argument" horseshit she's a minor; she CANNOT CONSENT - PERIOD - she had to go out of state to get her abortion. But you wouldn't let a 10 year-old drive. You wouldn't let a 10 year-old ADOPT. You wouldn't let a 10 year-old buy a gun.

But pregnant and made to give birth you're okay with? And then she'd have to raise it? Might as well have let her adopt. It's not like you've been passing any laws to help her out once the baby is born. If you're okay with this then fuck you. You're going to hell per your own book.

Another point - in some states there is no exception for rape. This means that rapists can go hunting for women to give birth to their own kids. If you're okay with that then fuck you. You deserve to be punched in the teeth repeatedly because you are INCELS. Fuck you and all your friends.

Another point - in some states there is no exception for the health of the mother. This means that an ectopic pregnancy is now a DEATH SENTENCE. By the way, 2% of all pregnancies are ectopic. Getting pregnant now has the same death rate as COVID. If you're okay with this then fuck you.

Cheap Shots (screw your 4th of July beer. Monday is Rum day):

I love our Governor.

This fucking country. That does it. You're grounded.

Spending today with actual descendants of Frederick Douglass.

I've seen and heard fireworks displays with fewer pops in them. This is fucking appalling.

6 dead and 17 missing. When reported yesterday on the news all we knew about (in the US) was the glacier collapse. Today, they're not reporting anything. The state of US new reporting is appalling.

The pandemic is far from over. It's getting even worse.

Yes, it's a tantrum from a 6 year-old, but also keep in mind that his family has a heavy history of dementia.

This keeps happening. How do you say that in Russian?

I like to think of myself as well-informed and I didn't know this. That's because we're not taught anything past the preamble.

Not OK.

Same as the old Klan.

Oh, me droogs!

Jessica Chastain for the win.

Fuck Waldo.
