Greg Gutfeld Drunk-Tweets and It's Epic [Y-not]
these next tweets are brought to you by wine.
— GregGutfeld (@greggutfeld) June 25, 2016
1. media freaking out about Great Britain's vote as Venezuela is in free fall. it seems the ire should be reversed. 2. seems to me predicted outcomes from Brexit comes nowhere close to Venezuela's hell that's going on in front of our jaded eyes. 3. how is a country voting to exit some bureaucracy worse than a country imploding into a scavenging Lord of the Flies in supermarkets 4. Yes, temporarily your chorizo will be more expensive, but there's a country where people now fight over toilet paper. 5. the media are hypocrites. Playing Brexit as apocalyptic. As Venezuela is edging closer to Soylent Green. 6. screw all these celebrity assholes expressing fear for a future dark age, while the dark ages rage right now because people have NO VOTE. 7. Did any of these fruit fly minds - the James Cordons, the lindsey lohans - ever give a damn about Venezuela? 8. A popular vote in England is mild compared to the top-down, reinforced suffering of a desperate people in Venezuela, you idiots. 9. Note: in the previous tweet i said "idiots" in place of many other terms that i decided to omit. Carry on.
England's fine. Venezuela - the socialist jewel in Sean Penn's eye, is devolving into a Battle Royale nightmare. I'm going to the liquor sto

Venezuela has been held up for years as a glorious example of what socialism could do for a country. And of course now we can still hold up Venezuela as a glorious example of what socialism can do for a country. Which is, if current reports are to be believed, manage to create actual famine in a middle income country. It's really a quite extraordinary result for any economic policy at all, to be able to manage that. And it does need to be put down to that Bolivarian socialism, not to anything that has happened to the oil price. And it's most certainly not because of any conspiracies by the US nor even any domestic opposition. This is simply what happens when gargantuanly stupid economic policies are imposed upon a place. Adam Smith did indeed note that there's a lot of ruin in a country but "a lot" is not synonymous with "infinite amount".Venezuelans are rioting over food shortages, but Bernie Sanders is treated as a serious major party candidate. We live in interesting times. I think I'll follow Gutfeld's lead and head to the liquor store.

Meanwhile, the Dutch UN rep Karel van Oosterom keeps making speeches about how great a place Venezuela is and how we should all emulate their heroic leadership.
I wish we had a president that just kicked the UN out of the country and pulled us out.

Interesting to note that every famine over the past 200 years is the result of government action in restricting freedom. And the vast majority of those famines are caused by socialists and communists.

Dammit.
Liquor stores are closed here in Texas, on Sundays.
Gonna have to just enjoy these here cold beers.
I've seen a couple episodes of Gutfeld's shows. Not bad, nothing great, either. Kind of a poor-man's Dennis Miller, in terms of wit & repartee.
But, I suspect that Gutfeld is actually a bit more innately conservative than Miller, and with a deeper level of righteous anger at the left, withal.
Problem is though, I can't quite tell, through the schtick that is his on-air persona. So I'm grateful for these drunken tweets, as they might be a glimpse into the true man.
More of that, less of schtick, and I might become a more routine viewer.

I like watching Gowdy rip people apart but that's all he does. There's no leadership, there's nothing that results from it. Just him eviscerating stupid and ignorant people. Then he goes home. And he's not even running for congress again.
These hearings are kind of fun to watch, but they never accomplish anything.

True, but that's more than the rest of them can manage, so I'll chalk it up to division of labor, and demand that the party develop some people who can take care of the follow-through.

From what I've read of Venezuela, it...
1. Spends more than it earns
2. Continually adds additional money to supply
3. Puts the boot to the neck of free enterprise
4. Places a heavy reliance on an undependable energy source
5. Threatens businesses and businessmen
Sounds like Hillary Clinton's first 100 day agenda

There are clear and obvious reasons why we must deny the Democrats a majority in the House.
Sadly, this is the line of battle right now, between having our rights ripped away. It's not supposed to be, but it is. Of course the next line is blood on the streets.
So... keep voting in Rs to the House, because we have to. Then, after they get their majority, hows about we have a discussion on getting rid of the douchebag leadership in that ol' House.
I don't care if the Senate flips. The gonad-less Rs there don't do anything with their majority anyway, and other than holding up nominees (which they WON'T do), I don't really care if they ever do anything in that God forsaken body.

And speaking of our tone-deaf betters, I felt like luxuriating in a dead-trees Sunday newspaper so I picked up a copy of the Washington Post. Here are some random headers: "Brexit is the Americanization of British Politics" (quote: "...some of the same forces of alienation, discontent, economic security, and racial animosity that produced Trump in the United States have now hauled Britain out of the European Union."). Like we drew an inverted pentacle in the blood of migrants and summoned the imp Trumpulus from the Underworld!
Another column: "A cultural and political history of 'white trash' America" ("If racism is America's original sin, class may be its hidden one").
And: "White hostility has derailed black progress for two centuries".
And: "A modern-day peasants' revolt".
These people hate their country and they hate their countrymen. Yet they never seem to leave. And even more astoundingly, their parents (judging by the names and byline photos) inexplicably chose to become citizens of this racist classist society.

All Hail Eris... a reverse Scarlett Pimpernel. The Revolution has come and the Leftist Elites of DC have fled to Cuba. This new Scarlett Pimpernel operates with panache in Cuba kidnapping fugitives of the Peoples' Justice to bring back to the US.
But as a further twist, one such fugitive pleads to be taken back home since the Cuba of reality is far from the one he penned idyllic prose about. But the authorities are onto our erstwhile hero and his willing victim. Will they make it to Mariel and the hidden boat there? Or will they become unwelcome guests in the prison where Che murdered so many? Stay tuned!

"White hostility has derailed black progress for two centuries

whut?"
It's a sub-set of White Privilege.
It's the driving force behind white people hunting down and busting caps on inner city yutes in Chicago and Baltimore.
White Hostility....it's everywhere.
And a final TruFact.
All Thetans are white.

Posted by: Bruce With a Wang! at June 26, 2016 12:29 PM (iQIUe)
Because it would not get to the kids....how do you send something to a country whose military and president are trying to pretend nothing is wrong?
Heard a little while ago that some World Food organization has suspended sending food and supplies intended for 150,000 refugees in a giant camp in Syria because ISIS controls the only road there and they cannot ship in via convoy, the only practical way to get these items in.

"A House ethics committee subpanel today found Democratic Rep. Charlie
Rangel guilty of 11 of the 13 charges of ethics violations against him.
The panel, composed of four Democrats and four Republicans, emerged after private deliberation to announce their findings."This has been a difficult assignment," committee chair Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said. "
Dear Zoe- no, there's nothing at all difficult about this, provided you have a functioning set of ethics.

They may instead decide to go to Curacao instead so they can get shipped to the EU as "refugees"

This has always been true. As long as there are do-gooders in Western lands, trying to offer help to the poor downtrodden in third world shitholes, it NEVER amounts to anything, and all efforts end up supporting the regime in charge.
If they allow ANY of the aid to get to people, it's to serve their own purpose in preserving their control.

Hillary posted another whine about Trump in Scotland, which read in part, that " the turmoil in the markets due to Brexit has hit the pocketbooks of working Americans".
First of all, I haven't heard the term "pocketbooks" since my father died almost 30 years ago. He was an old coal miner who called women's purses, "pocketbooks"
If a 'working' American has a job that includes a 401K, then yes, the market's diving was a hit. Just like everytime the market dives, it's part of investing and is a problem if one is heavily invested in stocks close to retirement.....If retirement is a long way off, then it's actually a buying opportunity.
Other than that, I would like to meet one 'working" American who is now paying more due to the pound dropping or the markets in the USA experience a 3% drop in value one day. Or has lost their job, or had their salary/hourly cut.

Oh, there's plenty of bigotry and hate out there around the Brexit vote. Its the remainers screaming and frothing at the mouth, attacking everyone who disagrees with them. Old people need to die. White people need to get out of the way. Rural people need to be eliminated from the gene pool, on and on. Its horrific.
It's clear that the younger you are, and thus the less you remember what Britain once was, the more likely you are to vote Remain.
And the less experience you have with the EU.

Based on the numbers in the sidebar, "bremain" would have won if the lazy-arse youngsters who support it had showed up to vote. They have no one to blame but themselves.
Turnout was like 70%, it was huge. The polls were horribly wrong before the vote, why would they be right after?

We should remember the Blackhawk guys in Fallujah were guarding a WFP convoy ...
There was video at the time of Canadian troops in Somalia dropping off food bags (grain, I'd imagine) off of their trucks into a warehouse going in while the local warlord's men are taking out the same bags to their trucks at the same time---one line going in; one line going out. Couldn't stop them because it wasn't allowed for in the ROE.

1. media freaking out about Great Britain's vote as Venezuela is in free fall. it seems the ire should be reversed.
---------------------------
Venezuela has already had the life sucked out of it by the globalists, Great Briton still has much left to plunder.
And those fighting over a roll of toilet paper in Venezuela are not paying the media talking heads, the globalists with an eye to Britain's wealth to skim as they pile it onto the bonfire are paying them.

Unless you have a stock that is somehow tied to eh EU it should not be affected by GB bailing out. Short term swings in the market only affect your stock if you are stupid enough to sell while it is on a short term swing down. In any case, retired people, like me generally live off of the dividends. A stocks price can go up and down but the dividend remains the same unless the company is going belly up.

>>>Hillary posted another whine about Trump in Scotland, which read in part, that " the turmoil in the markets due to Brexit has hit the pocketbooks of working Americans".
Leftists are so marinated in their twisted ethics that they don't understand how repellant those ethics sound to normal human beings.
What she says here is basically that England should stay in a system that harms it, because some Americans *chose* to invest in securities that would be affected by it.
That's like saying you are morally obligated to stay in a neighborhood where you are burgled and shot at, because if you left, the city would no longer get its grubby mits on your tax dollars.
Sociopathic reasoning that ignores the ethics of the primary action because of a secondary consequence.

And if you don't know much about investing, just buy an index fund with a super low fee. Those funds outperform the managed funds long term usually.

I think (speaking for my own vacuousness) that people really didn't associate 'the elite' so much with the GOP. If it had not been for Trump, the revelation that the elites were just as prevalent in the GOP as they are in the Dem party, might have gone on being obscured for some time.
The thing that Brexit revealed in the UK is that neither of the major parties there had any connection other than historical, with the electorate.
The same thing is being revealed to be the case on this side of the pond, as well, I think.

Just because someone is a weak candidate doesn't mean a personal attack is called for. No other Republican had the guts to run. Christine O'Donnell was it.
When Gutfeld takes Viagra he gets taller.
Gutfeld gets drunk and says the obvious. No votes were changed. Rush says Venezuela doesn't count because no LIVs relate to it (paraphrase).

Ban on curvy bananas and crooked cucumbers
Ban on incandescent light bulbs
Ban on vacuum cleaners over 1600 watts
Drinking
water does not prevent dehydration. This one is special. EU bureaucrats
decreed that there is no evidence that water prevents dehydration and
therefore water bottlers were prohibited from making such frivolous
claims in their advertising or labeling.

Here is a sampling of the idiocy in the EU rules that GB is exiting:
Ban on curvy bananas and crooked cucumbers
Ban on incandescent light bulbs
Ban on vacuum cleaners over 1600 watts
Drinking
water does not prevent dehydration. This one is special. EU bureaucrats
decreed that there is no evidence that water prevents dehydration and
therefore water bottlers were prohibited from making such frivolous
claims in their advertising or labeling.
Diabetics banned from driving
It is illegal to eat your pet horse
Jams, jellies and marmalade guidelines
Olive oil in restaurants

Will the House Memorialize Charlie Rangel with a statute or something proclaiming him to be the holder of the most ethical violations?

Harking back to one of the ONT videos, perhaps, in the interest of reducing animal "cruelty", county fairs could replace pig wrestling with "Rangel Wrangling". It would amount to the same thing, really.

The older the age cohort, the higher the turnout.
According to the polls. You following me here? Its like that newspaper syndrome Crichton talked about. This poll was totally trash! But the next one is reliable!
Maybe young people did vote less, it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe they didn't. We really have no idea, because the polling has been trash all along. And they got most of that data from exit polling which is even more trashy than the usual.
I don't think anyone really knows how it broke down.

It certainly wouldn't change the votes of the 45%+ who voted AGAINST the chavistas from the beginning, nor the 49% who voted against Maduro in the last election. Even if we pretend there was no vote fraud, that's a hefty number of Venezuelans.
You may be right that 25% or even 35% would vote for Maduro again. But what about the swing voters?
Do you think Maduro could be re-elected today?!?
And here's the bigger question: why has the MSM put a lid on the story? It isn't because they fear the 48% that voted against Obama and the people who know socialism is a sick joke. It isn't because they fear the True Believers will waver. NOTHING makes them waver. They are afraid that the mushy-headed middle will see the light.

The Brexit vote will probably turn out to be a tempest in a teacup. They will slow walk the breakup, and in a few years the demographics will have changed enough that Britain will vote to stay in.
Our future has been charted for us by our betters. Get used to the corporatist tyranny, voted in by the sheeple. They want this.

It was a huge plunge in a hurry in the market, but that corrected pretty fast.
Basically a lot of people went "I bet people panic over this" and all went the same way, which caused a panic. Then when the smart people started buying at those lower prices, it went back up. Markets do that.
The stupid thing to do is freak out over very short term trends.

"would vote for Maduro again."
Maduro and Chavez are kept in power by the military structure. My understanding is that the part of the military that isn't directly controlled is effectively neutralized. Payoffs using oil money was the mechanism to bring this about. Venezuela didn't/doesn't have a George Washington. They have FDRs, LBJ's and Obama's.
Gun control works if Tyrants can implement it.
2012:
"Venezuela has brought a new gun law into effect which bans the commercial sale of firearms and ammunition."

That poll of San Diego County residents linked above is interesting. Pretty solid majorities responded "yes" to the already somewhat distorted question of "would you pay more in taxes to deport illegals?". Best part - Hispanic/black positive responses notably higher than white. Ditto for "support for Trump's policies" - though I didn't see that actual question.
Polls like this are best seen as crude temperature-taking of a large body of water. But even in that light, interesting.
I'd guess the national numbers on such questions would be even more opposed to lawlessness. The unseen part of the iceberg that Dubya ran up against in '06, and which apparently convinced both the idiot president and a large part of the useless GOP "elites" to simply end-around the people (executive orders, de facto non-enforcement, etc.).

Yes, but my related point was that the BLM argument is slavery/racism existed for at least 300 (maybe 400) years in this horrid land mass now called the US of A, so to properly counter balance that awful relic of the past, we need to tilt the scales in the opposite direction for roughly the same amount of time!

The problems in Venezuela are probably due to hoarding, speculators and low oil prices. Possibly some economic mismanagement by the Chavez successors. We may never know for sure but are looking into it.

Liberals are the true media whores whose crisis du juor is their social reconstruction project based on the 24/7/365 news cycle. Whatever bad(in their screwed up logic) thing that's happened in the last ten minutes is cause for a prog to get up on their innermost nanny soapbox and chastise the lumpenproles about boorish behavior.

Why bother? Maduro's thugs will just seize it,

supplies they have.
Better they should donate guns to the opposition. And stout hemp rope, lots of stout hemp rope.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 26, 2016 12:50 PM (GSdpU)
Last year Maduro's government was buying up corn, oil, rice and other staples from Colombia and bringing it across to sell at subsidized prices.
The shipments were being stolen and then driven BACK to Colombia where they were being resold at a profit, even above the bribes to ensure easy passage.
This led to Maduro's government sealing their borders for a short while to try to stop the leakage.
Look, they have protests, and riots and still the dance goes on and on.
If at some point it is realized by the majority that this national suffering has been for nothing, that the prestige they were trying to support has failed also, then there will be bodies hanging from lamp posts, but until then it is all in part of the struggle and people will be caught in the cogs.

The rain in London had ZERO impact. Yes, London voted to remain by a large margin, the rest of the country voted to leave. Overall there was a 70% turnout. With a turnout that big there is no way to blame weather or anything else for affect on the election because the only effect you can get from that is LOW turnout.
But what is different about London from the rest of the country? The muzzies have taken over London and evidently they got to vote.

Most wrongs of the past, like this one, cannot be made up for, because the victims and perpetrators are all dead.
You can't make up for injustice in the past by rewarding people who were never wronged at the expense of people who never committed any wrong, all on the basis of resemblance of skin color to the parties in the past.
It may be hard to accept that the past cannot be made right, but thems the breaks. Two wrongs ... etc.

easy, stace (that is, easy to describe abstractly).
All the usual ways. Do whatever we can to press the other buttons (whose connection to the machine is increasingly dubious, but not limited to these issues) to oppose anything T-Rump does that, um, we oppose.
The choice remains binary. And step back and up a few feet and remember/despair that much of T-Rump's success to date has been based on his willingness to even address this huge, almost definitional issue - at all.
T-Rump is a product of the GOP, he is a result, a side-effect, not an outside force invading the camp. He's provided some markers and framework that can be used to fight him if he, say, opts to continue disastrous lawlessness in immigration. Will the electorate and the GOP use these to keep him on track? Nah, not likely. Which is why we - and he - are here in the first place.

I am not a Trump fan, and would even love to find some alternative other than Hillary to elect president, but, while I disagree with him here, this is not outside the realm of pro-self-defense thought. Personally, I think that designated drivers who are otherwise legally able to carry should be allowed to carry in bars as well; but there are people I know who are strongly pro-second amendment who think bars should be off-limits.
I know it's become a cliche, but while that is a hill to fight for, I don't think it's a reason to write someone out as pro-self-defense. (Unfortunately, I expect we'll find other reasons to do that with Trump.)

Well, I'd read that as "throw the bums out, but show a little mercy once in a while if an exceptional case merits it."
As far as guns in bars goes, "no firearms" seems to be SOP in bars in Arizona. I'm not so sure I want to be amongst a crowd of really drunk people packing heat. But I'd be OK with qualified staff members being armed.
And those bar patrons who normally carry concealed can lock their piece in their car. If some jihadi comes in to shoot up the place, they are still 10 times as likely to respond in a timely fashion than the cops.
Seems to me on "Gunsmoke" the Long Branch saloon had their patrons check their guns?

And those bar patrons who normally carry concealed can lock their piece in their car. If some jihadi comes in to shoot up the place, they are still 10 times as likely to respond in a timely fashion than the cops.
Seems to me on "Gunsmoke" the Long Branch saloon had their patrons check their guns?

That is controlled at the local level and there is only one State that allows people to carry in bars as long as they do not become drunk. And even that was just recently voted in.

The whole Brexit as zombie apocalypse thing mystifies me.
I don't give 2 shits about the UK they are no longer Christendoms last stand or anything like that. There is a shadow of what we used to quaintly call Western Civilization there but they are done no matter what.
But it does piss off the right people so it must mean something.

Trump is Trump's candidate. He doesn't give a fcuk about you or me! Is he better than Hillary? I believe so, but as you said, "we have to go into this with open eyes!"
I'm watching Fareed Zacharia GPS. He just had on Andrew Solomon, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University. He just said that every young adult should spend two weeks in any foreign country in order to experience what others have to deal with.
Then he said that he thought Libya would be better off without Quadaffi as their leader and that he was surprised with the outcome after he was disposed and killed. He spent his life traveling around the world and he thinks that two weeks outside this country is going to help young adults understand what the world is all about. Doesn't sound like he's learned anything about the world in his lifetime. Maybe he should try Detroit!!!

Ohio: "You can carry your licensed firearm into any business that has been issued a Class D liquor permit. 'Class D' businesses may include carry-outs, restaurants, nightclubs, clubs, hotels, shopping malls, marinas, museums and other establishments. If you are consuming alcohol or are under the influence of alcohol, you are not allowed to carry a concealed firearm into any business, including a business that serves alcohol. The law, however, does not specify whether a business owner has either the right or the obligation to ask patrons if they are carrying concealed firearms before serving them alcohol."
I don't know why they insist on calling it "licensed firearm". There is no such thing in Ohio. It should substitute "with a concealed carry permit". Grrr.

And no single statement or phrase is "disqualifying" by itself, it's all a matter of context (for those who actually try to do their best to assess candidates, and not worship or demonize them).
Statements that confirm pre-existing low confidence in someone's understanding or utility on a given issue can be "disqualifying". Or they can raise doubts that weren't there.
Perry's "not have a heart" comment was 4 torpedoes amidships not because it strayed slightly from some imaginary line, but because it reflected exactly either the 1) vile dishonest moral mau-mauing used on that and race issues by the worst people in society, or 2) a sincere lack of understanding and practical intelligence and political savvy on a critical issue.
But really it's just a national IQ test that the country has failed, miserably. Including many (most?) "conservatives". Compassion is just ignorant, destructive, selfish moral narcissism when it is used, as on this issue, to justify massive harm to millions (from economic to being murdered or assaulted) and untold destruction of the very glue of the society (rule of law).
Uprooting every single one of the "best" illegal families in the country and removing them would be a non-event in a moral sense, given the benefits (to all sides, in the long run). But it requires a little more than a 10-yr old's "awe isn't the puppy cute!" understanding to recognize that.

Just cursor-ing over the link to the NYT story on Brexit at TrudgeReport is enough to confirm the delusional state of "mainstream" media.
The little blurb that's part of the URL says Brexit "rattles postwar order and UK's place as a pillar of stability".
WTF? Not a single element of that description is true, or bears any relation to post-war history.
The bizarre off-the-rails authoritarian supra-govt. the EU has become was never part of any "stability" or the UK's distinctive role in the Cold War. The UK has essentially given up its role all on its own, completely apart from the EU (from which the UK famously, duh, remained more aloof than any other major European country, hello).
The Brexit will not change that - the UK is done as any sort of major or positive force outside its borders.
But one no longer wonders how the ignoramuses who surround us and run our lives became so disconnected from reality. The "press" is getting much, much, much worse, seemingly by the hour, and so few people have any basis to withstand the onslaught of stupid.

Seems to me on "Gunsmoke" the Long Branch saloon had their patrons check their guns?
Smart policy.

275 A woman in Portland last night found an intruder in the house, in her kids' room. She shot him dead. Another triumph for armed self defense and the 2nd amendment. One less bad guy.
Wait. She didn't shoot herself, her kids, her neighbors, her neighbors' kids and the family dog in the process? But that's what all the gun control people keep saying will happen if you let people defend themselves with guns! I'm so confused right now...

Bankers lost money in one country
People starved in another
Bankers are more important to the media. London is Europe's Wall Street. That's why.

IMHO, leftists (AKA "liberals") not only do not care about people of color, they despise POCs.

A big part of the Venezuela situation is the looting. I'm referring to the semi-legal looting. Consider a long pipeline, with many thousands of leeches attached along the way, each sucking off their portion of graft, so that what comes out at the end is a mere trickle.
Venezuela's oil production, even reduced as it is by poor maintenance and oil prices at one half of it's 10 year ago price, is still more than sufficient to feed the nation and provide bandages needles and aspirin in their hospitals. But not after all the graft is applied. And so now they starve and die early.
But it's not because of the vote; there were plenty of legitimate votes for Hugo Chavez, if he was still alive they'd vote him back into office in a heartbeat. The blame for the troubles would fall on Maduro.
See CA and Jerry Brown.

"There are a lot of issues that I agree with NYT and some that I disagree with. Is there room for dissent or discussion without being labeled?"
NYT editorial board is getting smacked around pretty good for their snotty Brexit screed. The above was on of the mild chastisements. The commenter must not realize that the liberal prohibitions against "labels" only applies to the unwashed. Labeling is the elite's Job One.

In that case, they should take up their complaint with the Indians, as they were practicing slavery, along roughly the same regional division, long before any European set foot in North America.
Or perhaps they can take the Anopheles mosquito to court, as the primary reason for importing African slaves to the Americas was resistance to malaria.
Or perhaps they could sue the African nations that sold their distant ancestors into slavery. Further, they can go after the Arabs who were the middlemen between Africans and Europeans in those transactions.
But the US as a sovereign entity had slavery for less than a century and only in a subset of the states. Meanwhile, plenty of whites were themselves the descendants of those who came to the Americas in chains. And many of the whites who later came to Americas were descended from people who were effectively slaves in their homelands at the same time slavery was in effect in North America.
Or, they could be like most modern descendants of slaves by getting over and working on their future instead of their past. Obsessing on grievances of long dead ancestors isn't going to do anything about current problems, such as the leading cause of premature death of young black men being other young black men.
