Their owners??? LMFAO!!!

Comparing being a literal no bullshit BALLER, making big bux in the modern day NFL with slavery is not only BEYOND absurd it's totally insulting to the actual victims of slavery both past and present.

Ohhhhhhhh poor NFL players making millions, practically living above the law and banging a practically endless supply of hot women all for playing a game.

With all the time you've laughed your ass off here, you must have had an awful lot of ass on you to begin with.

This week's CNN 30-second ad “Facts First” spot states simply that an apple is an apple, even if some people “might scream banana, banana, banana over and over and over again.”

In what appears to be a dig at Trump, the ad states: “They might put BANANA in all caps

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/cnn-apple-banana_us_59ee93bfe4b03535fa938053

"Facts are facts. They aren’t colored by emotion or bias. They are indisputable. There is no alternative to a fact. Facts explain things. What they are, how they happened. Facts are not interpretations. Once facts are established, opinions can be formed. And while opinions matter, they don’t change the facts. That’s why, at CNN, we start with the facts first."

gsgs comment- I need a definition for banana truther

So very strange.

Donald Trump Jr. dressed his tiny child in a mock-police uniform, and took the child Trick or Treating.


His tweet-

Donald Trump Jr. ✔@DonaldJTrumpJr


I’m going to take half of (I do not agree with publishing the child's name) candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism.

How does Trick or Treating square with his strange upbringing of not paying workers for their work, not paying suppliers for the supplies he promised to pay for, and not paying investors, on their investments ? Besides skipping paying his taxes, because, you know, only stupid people pay taxes, according to his father.

Gen. John Kelly has been lost to the Dark Side.

He is now living in the Upside-Down, and was converted into
just another monster. He does not comprehend reality, now. (Or, he is mouthing the party line, and obeying orders. He may be adopting protective camouflage, in order to remain on scene. I have hopes that he has retained his sanity. Please, please, let there be one sane person in the White House!)


Gen. John Kelly’s call for a special counsel to investigate Democrats comes (about) as a probe by special counsel Robert Mueller into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians produced its first charges and a guilty plea.

 

[sr71plt]

I imagine that Kelly is arrogant enough to think he still has political capital across the lines and can save the WH. I think he spilled the political capital he had, though, and, yes, is fully on the dark side and sinking.

WTF ?

Some of my favorite sites have been shut down by a man worth an estimated $2.1 billion.

Why?

One office chose Union.


Ricketts also shuttered sister sites that had not attempted to unionize, such as Chicagoist, SFist, LAist and DCist. The New York Times reported that 115 journalists had lost their jobs in total.

https://splinternews.com/billionaire-owner-shuts-dnainfo-and-gothamist-down-one-1820092576


I looked. They have that disgusting notice up, instead of great coverage.

DNAInfo, too.

All the sites had their own individual fun stuff. Now it is gone because a billionaire could not tolerate Union.

The sites voted to join the Writers Guild of America, East, the same union that represents Splinter and the rest of the Gizmodo Media Group

Evil Joe Ricketts, Arsehole


The Good Ricketts, the Bad Ricketts, The Ugly Ricketts

Trump had previously attacked the Ricketts family after matriarch Marlene Ricketts donated $3 million to the anti-Trump group Our Principles PAC. “I hear the Rickets [sic] family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $’s against me,” Trump tweeted at the time. “They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!”)


Vanity Fair

Republican megadonor Joe Ricketts, spent $300,000 on an effort to collect enough signatures to put the death penalty question to voters, in the form of a referendum on November 8. The governor donated another $100,000 this fall to fund a campaign to sway voters to reinstate the death penalty.

Nebraska does not have a governor’s race or a US Senate race this year, leaving the presidential race as the main draw for voters to get to the polls. But Nebraska, though deeply conservative, is not exactly Trump territory. Ricketts endorsed Trump after his first choice, Ted Cruz, dropped out of the primary, but he has not donated to Trump’s campaign; his wife, meanwhile, registered as a Democrat and is supporting Hillary Clinton.

This Evil Joe Ricketts

CEO Joe Ricketts, who founded TD Ameritrade and whose family owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team, pulled the plug on the sites a week after reporters and editors from DNAinfo and Gothamist won a contentious fight to join a union.

Ricketts' decision to terminate the media organization puts 115 journalists suddenly out of a job, the New York Times reported. The journalists will receive three months of severance pay, Scott Heins, a photojournalist and reporter for Gothamist, told BuzzFeed News from a bar Thursday evening.

There is a sense of betrayal amongst the workplace since all of our stories are no longer accessible," said Heins, who started at Gothamist as an intern in 2013. Ricketts' attorney told the more than one hundred staff members that their work had been archived and would "eventually" be available online.

"Literally everyone immediately and angrily replied that we need them ASAP because we need to use them to now get jobs," Heins continued from the bar. "The fact that everything was immediately locked away from us is a slap in the face."

I think that very soon we are going to know all we want to know about banking on Cyprus.

It might take a little longer since Manafort's lawyers seem to think it's Cypress (a tree).

Sending out people that are suffering, to plead for funding for research. Hope to fuck someone is reading, or watching.

Up in the air, as to if the Houston Astros will join Emperor Carrot Head on the White House lawn, or in the Oval office.

Then, again, no one would accuse SNL of being Pro-Trump.

Houston Astros players make it on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update

November 5, 2017

Jose Altuve, George Springer and Alex Bregman made a guest appearance on Saturday Night Live.The trio appeared on the "Weekend Update segment" with anchor Colin Jost and regular cast member Leslie Jones.

Not an honorable mention-

Alec Baldwin, portraying President Donald Trump, made reference to Yuli Gurriel when joking that he sent a body-double on a trip to China.


"Paul, believe me. My staff is much happier that the look-alike is going. They were terrified that when I got to China I would do the slant-eyes thing like that guy on the Houston Astros. Hilarious, by the way."


Gurriel was seen by television cameras pointing at the corners of his eyes in a mocking gesture after hitting a homerun off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish during Game 3 of the World Series. He also said a racially insensitive phrase about the pitcher, who was born in Japan.


Darvish said Tuesday he had received a message from Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel, who asked to offer an in-person apology for the offensive gesture and phrase that Gurriel used in the Astros dugout during Game 3.


Darvish, however, said he declined Gurriel’s offer because Gurriel already had made a statement expressing regret for his actions.


“He contacted us and said, "Hey, I'd like to meet you in person and apologize," but I told him, "Hey, you don't have to do that, because you made a comment, and, like, I'm not that mad," Darvish said through a translator.

When will Repug business owners learn to shut their mouths? Do they not realize the vast majority of the population don't agree with their views?

You would think the over-botoxed stuffed with cheese face would learn after his meltdown over Obamacare. This coming from a man that owns his own golf cart but is too cheap to give his hard working employees healthcare?

Fuck him and his cardboard ketchup pizza.

Funny, Budweiser and Pepsi never complained about sales due to the NFL protests.

About the time Dumz figure out "Fuck working class whites!!" isn't winning them any elections anytime soon.

It's not his job to give his employees healthcare you fuckin' whack job.

Fuck him and his cardboard ketchup pizza.

Awww look at you embracing capitalism!!!

It's called "delusions of adequacy", like the ant on his back with a hard-on, floating down a river on a leaf, shouting (in his wee little ant voice), "Bridge up! Bridge up!"

Gups think that, because they've gerrymandered, disenfranchised, and voter-supressed their way to power, most Murkans are with them. Inside, they KNOW that they can't win free and fair elections. But sometimes they forget, like this fucktard.

Funny, Budweiser and Pepsi never complained about sales due to the NFL protests.

Those corporations are shitty in their own ways but they don't seem to be losing money. My question: How's the Guacamole Index trending? If avocado prices drop, reflecting decreased demand, then the NFL is doomed.

All this from someone who can't be bothered to vote.

What Was Russia's Role In 2016 U.S. Election: Two Former KGB Officials Weigh-In
by Lucian Kim
NPR

...Gennady Gudkov, a retired KGB colonel, peered at me across his dark, vaulted office in an old Moscow manor house.

"I'm going to tell you something that I've never told anyone before," he said. "About 10 years ago, Russia had the opportunity to seriously influence election results in France."

Gudkov, then a Russian lawmaker for a pro-government party, says he was given damaging material on a French presidential candidate that could have tipped the election. Gudkov says he passed the information to the Russian Foreign Ministry, which told him that if the material leaked out, it would pose an "enormous, insane risk" for future relations with Paris.

There was no leak...

*****​

..."It's funny for Russians that 500-ruble ads on Facebook are being examined by Congress and that the U.S. is attaching so much value to amateurish trolling."...
