I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Japan Nominated Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Because White House Asked

Turns out President Donald Trump wasn’t lying about being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did indeed put Trump’s name forward for the coveted prize last year. But it turns out he did so only after the White House “informally” asked Abe’s administration to nominate Trump following his historic meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore, according to Japanese newspaper Asahi.

He'd never win. He hasn't bombed enough people yet. Probably give it to Maduro

Obama hadn't bombed anyone at all (yet) when he won, so there's precedent.

 

Trump winning for North Korea would probably be more legit than Obama's win since Obama had done precisely nothing apart from not being GWBush at the time.

One of my favorite office quotations seems appropriate at this time:

 

911.jpg

 

am knowing is a joke, but reality is a goodly % our work-related emergencies is precise 'cause somebody planned poor.  clients rare come to Gromnir for help when they first realize they got a problem.  is proverbial 11th hour when we get a call asking if so-n'-so can show up at office asap. as often as not, people want a tro for yesterday.  also, happens less nowadays, but if somebody slight higher up the food chain blunders, we will be called 'pon to fix. if p00p is rolling downhill, is almost always emergency p00p . 

 

'bout 5% emergencies is 'cause o' our poor planning. have been doing our job for a goodly period o' time and nevertheless we infrequent manage to prioritize wrong.  most common aspect o' our poor planning is 'cause somebody nominal under our immediate supervision to whom we has entrusted limited autonomy fails to plan proper and doesn't let us know they has gotten upside down until situation becomes an emergency.  their mistake is our mistake.  

 

remaining 1-2% is so-called act o' god stuff. we attempt to plan for act of god, but in rare situations, finagle's law makes a mockery o' such efforts... so is fair to actual make this part o' Gromnir's blunders. 

 

regardless, we would have a whole lotta free time if not for other folks' emergencies. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

Maduro hasn't bombed anyone yet, either, though.

for those interested, we got the link to the 2016 dea national drug threat assessment summary.  is often quoted by folks when discussing border walls and drugs. 

 

particular noteworthy is following:

 

page 7, which describes mexican cartel common utilized methods for transporting drugs. immediate subsequent pages mention the other tco (transnational criminal organization) and their smuggling methods o' choice.  

 

page 25, figure 26-- shows drug deaths from cpd (controlled prescription drugs) compared to cocaine and heroin. 

 

pp 60-62 include photos o' creative heroin smuggling techniques.

 

fentanyl section is a mere 7 pages in length, half which is pictures and diagrams.  worth reading as fentanyl is an increasing threat.  china is main source.

 

am admitting we only skimmed mj section.  

 

pp 131-132 cover use o' synthetic cannabinoids in prisons. 

 

page 173 shows trends in adolescent drug use 'tween 2011 and 2015.

 

as an aside, the illicit finance section were somewhat illuminating.  

 

 

HA! Good Fun!

I'm taking this as sarcasm? It sounds more someone trying too hard or at least exaggeration of the Christ-like general idea lol Though it would have been much catchy if the person put "What would Jesus do?" At the end.

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

It's a summation of some things Jesus actually did. If the gospels are to be trusted, anyway.

Why people assume Jesus was anarchist? Is it supported by anything?

I don't remember anything about Jesus attacking anybody with a whip, though if it was a politician, it'd have to have been a low level one that Rome didn't give a damn about.

 

The only time I know of that Jesus used violence is when he kicked out the merchants from the temple square with... his fists? I don't think it says how, just that he kicked them out.
