And on a related note:


...I mean, what’s the point of stealing all that technology from the U.S. when you can’t sell it back to them?


...yeah, let them steal jet technology from Airbus, for a change.

Speaking of Chinese work practices:


...but but but if this happened in Norma Rae Country, where is the Textile Workers’ Union in all this?  Oh… they went out of business when all those textile jobs moved to China, huh?

And from The Great Cultural Assimilation Project©:


...as if that were a surprise.

And as we remember her fondly from those Train Smash times:


...oooh, I can forgive anything for those freckled young boobies.

They’ll Be Firing Them For Rape, Next

Some Brit politician has been canned for speaking his mind.

Andrew Gwynne is under investigation by the parliamentary authorities after he wrote in the group that he hoped a 72-year-old pensioner would soon be dead.

Who hasn’t wished that some old fart would croak soon?  Hell, I’m at that age myself, and I’ve thought that same thing many, many times about someone in my peer group.

Sadly, our Andrew didn’t actually speak, per se, but sent it to a friend on WhatsApp, so of course it was leaked.

Personally, I think it’s one of the funniest exchanges I’ve seen all month:

I don’t know who “Dave” is, but that’s fucking hilarious right there.

Even funnier:

Gwynne also joked about a local cycling campaigner being “mown down”, suggested that a local vicar be “burned on a bonfire” and made derogatory comments about Angela Rayner and Diane Abbott.

Were he not one of Satan’s minions (i.e. a Labour Party MP) I’d vote for him, just for telling the truth.  I mean, who doesn’t get the giggles at the thought of a mown-down cyclist?  Or a vicar on a bonfire?
#InquisitionPayBack

And not even the pecksniffy Britcops could find fault with his statements — no doubt because they were crying with helpless laughter and couldn’t finish reading them, like I was.

Of course, he’s in deep doo-doo with the Party apparatchiks, but who cares about that?

My hero:

…coming soon to a meme near you.


By the way:  the title of this post is a riff on something written in George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman.  No slight was ever intended towards rape victims, nor indeed towards rapists either.

Actually, Gwynne could easily be fired for rape, because he’s not a Muslim.

Sliding Off

I think what I love the most about today’s political climate — other than the tsunamis of Liberal tears each day — is the fact that our governing class seems to be immune to childish insults.  Here are a few such, of recent memory:

“Trump is an orange-skinned horror!”

His response:  wear more fake tan than ever.

“Trump is like the Evil Emperor!”  followed by a Photoshop:

Trump supporters:  “What’s the last thing a useless federal bureaucrat sees before being tossed out of his office?”

And then there was that time when Rep. Jizzmine “Daisy” Crockett insulted Jim Abbott by calling the paraplegic Texas governor “Hot Wheels”, which led to this appearing on Twatter:

…which in turn resulted in well over a thousand twats asking where they could buy the toy, and a huge climb in his popularity rating in the polls.

Give it up, Lefties.  Insults might have worked back in playground days, but we conservatives are largely immune to it now.

Feel free to share this with Pocahantas:

…and of course She Who Would Be President:

We’ll just laugh at you for your failed socialist ideas masquerading as a Nude Eel or something.

News Roundup

And we begin today’s Roundup with someone who really needs to rub one out:


...”stand up against”?  We all voted for sick and cruel deportations, you dumb bint.

And another one who needs rubbing out, so to speak:


...nobody cares what you think, you degenerate, corrupt Commie fuck.  You’re the American equivalent of Tony Blair:  an unwanted has-been, all of whose destructive policies should long ago have been tossed into the gutter where they belonged.

And speaking of Obamas:


...because like Hillary Clinton, you only got your (undeserved) fame because you happened to marry someone who went on to become President.  Otherwise, you’d still be an anonymous functionary in some Chicago hospital… maybe.

More candidates for the above treatment:


From the Department of Irony:
