jmowreader's JournalIt is time for all Trump haters to follow NASCAR
And the car to follow this season, my fellow DUers, is the 41 of Stewart-Haas Racing.
"Why should I do that?" you might ask. "Don't those guys just drive fast and turn left?"
Yup, but this year there's an incentive: Following the 41 will REALLY piss Trump off - because a Mexican driver is behind the wheel.

Daniel Suarez is a really nice kid. He won the second-tier Xfinity championship in 2016, he won a pole last year, and this year he's driving for one of the top teams in NASCAR. And just imagine the tweetstorms that will erupt when he wins races.
I believe in a connected world, but this is ridiculous
This is a WiFi-enabled mouse trap with its own app.

And if that's not big enough, they also have a WiFi-enabled rat trap.

Should the question be "what the fuck does the world need that for? When I was a kid we had to go around checking mouse traps ourselves, and we LIKED it!" or "if you're going to build a $30 mouse trap that sends you an app alert when it catches a mouse, shouldn't there be a holding bin and a sweeper in it so you could catch a dozen mice before you had to get up and dump the thing?"
I thought of a counter to the "your doors have locks, right?" talking point
The new Fox News Approved Talking Point to try to shame liberals into supporting the Monument to Stupidity is "your doors have locks, right?" Because obviously if you think we don't need a wall (we don't) to protect "America's house" you should also think that your own house doesn't need to be protected.
Suggested response:
"Yeah, the door on my southern wall has a lock...but to make my house like the US border I'd have to tear down the north, east and west walls so people could come in that way, tear down half the southern wall because the Mexican border ends at Texas, cut 48 holes in the southern wall big enough for people to walk through, remove the roof so people could come in by air, and pass out little pieces of paper that say 'it's okay for you to come in any time you want' to anyone who wants one. Now...since making the US border like your home is such a priority to you, you've done all those things, right?"
The wall is not about security
It is about destroying the Democratic Party.
If we give in, we may as well just fold our tents and go home; the GOP will demand we give Trump everything he wants.
If we don’t give him the wall he will blame the continued shutdown on us and some of his cult will believe it.
The only solution is to impeach the motherfucker before he causes any more damage.
Give Trump this as a final offer
Trump gets:
$6 billion for his wall.
We get:
A complete accounting of where the last $1.6 billion we gave him for his wall, almost none of which was spent, was disbursed to.
Complete repeal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and both Bush tax cuts.
The permanent dismissal of Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. from any position in the United States government.
Lifting of all tariffs imposed or increased by the Trump Administration.
The tax returns and business records of Donald Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner posted, with Social Security and Taxpayer Identification numbers redacted, on the White House website.
Reform of DACA.
A guarantee that the Affordable Care Act will be restored to what it was on January 19, 2017.
Revocation of all executive orders and regulations enacted since 1/20/17.
Establishment of an agency not staffed by any of Trump's rich friends that will handle contracting for the wall, to ensure none of the money earmarked for it winds up in Trump's bank account.
What's really bad for national security...
...is hundreds of thousands of essential government employees working for free with no idea as to whether they’ll ever see money again.
