Kona probably sent Suits a dick pic. He certainly sends enough to me even though I keep saying I am not into that.

Quote:Myoclonus refers to a quick, involuntary muscle jerk. Hiccups are a form of myoclonus, as are the sudden jerks, or "sleep starts," you may feel just before falling asleep. These forms of myoclonus occur in healthy people and rarely present a problem.
Other forms of myoclonus may occur because of a nervous system (neurological) disorder, such as epilepsy, a metabolic condition, or a reaction to a medication.
Ideally, treating the underlying cause will help control your myoclonus symptoms. If the cause of myoclonus is unknown or can't be specifically treated, then treatment focuses on reducing the effects of myoclonus on your quality of life.
I really do wonder if she had been briefed by NBC on the questions beforehand. She had pretty eloquent answers that seemed almost too perfect, and never really was challenged by Trump on many of her prior transgressions because she and Holt successfully baited him into defending his past. The thing is that if you do have these twitches, they can really rule your life, and you need proper benzodiazepine medication to control them, in addition to a conscious effort to be discrete about them. If her handlers knew she would have to focus just as hard on her muscle control as the debate, in addition to clouded judgement due to medication, it would make sense that she already knew what was coming so she had proper answers lined up.
Wonder? the DNCleaks showed collission between the media dn the democrat part, Debbie was angry at Mika was saying how she will talk to NBC CEO to "fix that problem".
There is not way she can come without having a real press conference in about 270 days and all suddenly she was all prepare to "unknown" questions.
CNN article that Fat Shames the Venezuelan Miss Universe. Ha ha if anything here Trump is defending her.
Quote:NEW YORK (CNN) -- When Alicia Machado of Venezuela was named Miss Universe nine months ago, no one could accuse her of being the size of the universe. But as her universe expanded, so did she, putting on nearly 60 pounds.
Indeed, the reigning Miss Universe learned the hard way that an extra 15 or 20 pounds can gain you a ton of publicity. But now she's determined to shed at least 15 pounds, though the loss of her Miss Universe crown is no longer an issue.
"Some people when they have pressure eat too much. Like me. Like Alicia," said Donald Trump, the executive producer of the Miss Universe Pageant.
Since winning the crown, the former Miss Venezuela went from 118 pounds to -- well -- a number that kept growing like the size of the fish that got away.
And as her weight grew, so did reports that Kellogg had canceled a deal for her to appear on boxes of Special K in Venezuela or that Kellogg modified her body on the box. But a Kellogg spokesman said the contract simply expired in December and that they were "real pleased" with the promotion.
"I don't eat Kellogg's and for this maybe I gain weight," the young Machado said simply.
Rumors also surfaced that she might be forced to give up her Miss Universe crown.
But Trump, as co-owner of rights to the pageant, said he would never let that happen. "We had a choice of: termination or do this," he said. "We wanted to do this."
The pageant's meaning of "do this" was for Machado to get her weight down to about 130 pounds. At a recent photo op, Machado -- hardly a blimp at 5-foot-7 -- pedaled a stationary bicycle and jumped rope in front of a pack of photographers and reporters who could themselves use a little training.
"A lot of you folks have weight problems. I hate to tell you," Trump told the rowdy pool of reporters.

Quote:Midway through the first presidential debate, just before snivelling racist air horn Donald Trump assured the US that he’s the only candidate who’s up and ready to cyber, the Republican nominee made this remarkable statement: “Nobody knows that it was Russia that broke into the DNC – she’s saying ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ – but I don’t, maybe it was! I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, OK? You don’t know who broke into DNC.”
While I do want to congratulate Trump on one of his few successful deployments of the English language last night – buddy put words in an order that conveyed a vaguely decipherable meaning, much like Franklin Delano Roosevelt! – the phrase “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds” raises a vital question.
Fat people, are we going to stand for this shit?
We already knew that Trump hates fat women. He hates Rosie O’Donnell so much for being fat and gay (“Rosie is just disgusting,” Trump said in 2006. “She’s fat, she’s a loser, she’s a farm animal pig, she’s a beast, OK”) that he shoehorned his irrelevant, decade-old grudge into the most precious and tightly regimented 90 minutes of his political career thus far. As the Clinton campaign masterfully publicised last night, the former Miss Universe Alicia Machado has claimed Trump drove her to an eating disorder by calling her “Miss Piggy” and publicly threatening her crown if she didn’t lose weight. Trump epitomises the type of man who sees no value in women other than their smallness, compliance, conventional attractiveness and sexual availability.
But by pointing a wee alabaster doll finger at fat nerds for the DNC hack, Trump didn’t just express the standard disgust for fat bodies, he positioned fat people as dangers to national security. The implications are familiar, even if the context is outlandish: fat people are lazy, bedridden, unscrupulous, untrustworthy, antisocial, gluttonous (for secrets!) and worthless as anything but a punchline. Trump could have said, simply, “a person sitting on their bed”, but he chose to specify the fictional hacker’s fictional weight, because it evokes destructive stereotypes about fat people and antique ones about nerds. Because it milks harsh, cheap laughs out of the bullies who make up Trump’s base. Because Americans do not like or trust fat people – nor, really, consider them fully human – and neither does Trump.
That’s the same dislike and distrust that makes fat people less likely to be hired for jobs, take home equal pay or receive adequate medical care under their insurance. It’s that dislike and distrust that make it socially acceptable (a public service, even!) to harass and verbally abuse fat people. It’s the reason why most clothing labels refuse to make garments in larger sizes – because we fat people are so worthless that they do not even want our money.
“Four hundred pounds” (181kg; 28st 8lb) is not a punchline; it is not an absurd, shameful, astronomical number; it accurately describes a body that many, many Americans are living in right now – Americans with fulfilling jobs and vibrant families, who pay their taxes (it’s this thing regular people do every year – ask your gardener) and treat the people around them with humanity and respect. Americans who vote.
Now, my dear fellow fat people. I know that you have been taught not to think of yourselves as a group, because the diet industry makes billions of dollars from the notion that each of you is just an individual who has temporarily failed to be thin. But, believe me, the rest of the country – employers, jurors, neighbours, voters – thinks of you collectively and treats you accordingly. And, well, if we’re going to be oppressed as a class, we might as well start using our clout as a class.
As every fat person is perpetually reminded, more than 84 million American adults are considered clinically “obese”. That number rockets if you include people medically defined as “overweight”. That’s at least 84 million people that Trump has compared to farm animals and criminals. That is a lot of votes. Fat people could swing this election, elect the first female president, reject en masse the notion that swallowing contempt (from a man we are interviewing for a job, no less) is our duty.
So, come on, fat people, JOIN ME. RISE UP.We never get to be the hero. I’m being silly, but what if we did? I can think of no more appropriate fate for this classist, xenophobic, white supremacist whoopee cushion than to be hurled back into F-list obscurity by a coalition of women, people of colour, Muslims, fat people, veterans, LGBT people and every intersection therein. My fat ass is with her.

Yep and a classic female ploy. Notice men don't do anything of this ridiculous stuff with camera angles. I'll bet she's holding her breath and sucking it all in too.

Sometimes the ammo from an event like this may end up creating a new law, a revised law, people losing their jobs, or all of the above.
The previous speaker nailed him on how they blew it. They really did blow this. So far we cannot prove that he blew it on purpose, but this is farrrr from being over. These congressmen will not forget this and the Senators won't either later on future appointments.
A lot of that is grandstanding by the Committee members for partisan political purposes, but they did make some good points, of course. I missed the part where they talked about the Reddit evidence. What did Comey say about it?
He at first denied that the lying had happened after the immunity deal, on which he was corrected.
With regard specifically to the reddit posts, he said that there was no evidence that anybody had told Combetta to delete the information, and he had probably done it of his own accord, and freaked out because he realized that he had not deleted the information the previous year, when he was supposed to.
It is all quite unbelievable. Essentially he is saying that because Clinton and her people so comprehensively deleted everything, there is nothing remaining to prosecute her. Ofcourse this is strange because the FBI should be recommending prosecution, and the courts must decide if enough evidence is there.
How this is not either gross negligence or obstruction, boggles my mind.

Yes, you know something that irks me to this day about Comey's first revelation after the investigation was over:
He insisted that a reasonable prosecutor would not be able to prosecute if he recommended charges. Isn't his job to recommend charges period? When did it turn into "speculation" of what a prosecutor would do and then NOT recommend charges based on this very speculation. Another words, what the fuck are you trying to pull Comey?

Sheila Jackson, some Democrat on the committee, is trying to run interference.
If you see the hillary pin on her jacket it tells it all. She sided with Hillary over Obama for a long time and almost got kicked out of her district in Houston for it. She is the epitome of a Hillary shill that goes way back before 2008 even.
He did say at one point today, Comey did, towards the end of the hearing, that "charging someone itself destroys them". I thought that was a very important line, yet nobody really responded to it.
So he is not doing his job, and is instead looking at big picture politics, which I think is complete bollocks.

They ripped him for granting these immunities for people that were cooperative in the investigation. What a load of bullshit. He had no answer for doing that.
He won't get away with this. It's still early. I hope voters watch this and don't let it slide. This might need to be what makes voters keep a roll call on who is corrupt in Congress and force someof these terrible people out. The entire black caucus needs to be voted out for sure.

I wish Mr. Trump would speak directly to the people during the next debate and vow to prosecute criminals in gov't for waste, fraud, and abuse all the way to the highest levels.
I wish he could as well, but he needs to be careful not to burn all his political capital up in his first 100 days in office. If he wants to repeal Obamacare, build the wall and deal with immigration, Trade stuff, or even deal with the internet going to the UN (which doesn't seem possible), he may not have the cycles for it, except for submitting to the Senate for a new FBI director as well as his AG (which he has to do no matter what). He could tell those guys to do what the others would not do, and see if they can or not.
Comey and Lynch screwed the case up so badly nothing could be done in a way it seems. The Clinton Foundation is all that is left for now. If he can, he needs to get those new appointees to hold whatever that NYC district attorney, Preet Bharara has, and preserve what they may have found. These corrupt people might be destroying whatever is found to block prosecution on that issue as well. I hope they are not passing out immunity like candy on that case as well. If they do, the reason will be very clear.
If whatever Wikileaks has is damning enough, then even if they botch it, they won't get away with it entirely, but we cannot count on them to have any smoking guns. Trump will need to do something about this. If he ignores it, my fear is that in the next 10-20 years, it will happen alot more and the country will absolutely look like a 3rd world country in terms of corruption.
Forgive me if there is an actual video of naked Katy Perry, but...
I see all these Katy Perry getting naked in video for Hillary. Obviously my first reaction is to search for the unrated video, which doesn't exist. I'm frustrated for two reasons:
1. All these headlines say she got naked for Hillary (most of them, some do imply it's just a funny promo video). She didn't get naked.
2. I can't be the only guy who thought this, searched around, and was frustrated to find out I was terribly mislead. There has to be forums or blogs where guys have addressed the fact that [Google: "Katy Perry" "didn't really get naked" "did not really get naked" "did not get naked" "not naked"] or some variation thereof. Why the hell can't I find somebody like me annoyed at the misdirection.
I try to stay an arms length away from this political shit (because if I'm not campaigning or try to overthrow the government, who cares except to actually vote), but this really pissed me off.
Oh, and I'm not interested in seeing Madonna naked in 2016. Why...why would she ever think that would help.
