How Trump's proposed bump stock ban will actually work
Step 1: Trump sends out a tweet saying he has directed the DOJ to issue a regulation banning bump stocks.
Step 2: The DOJ will rightly point out that Trump's edict requires legislative action.
Step 3: The Republicans in Congress will create a bill that has a bump stock ban plus some combination of:
$30 million for Trump's May Day parade
$45 billion for the wall
a repeal of Medicaid
increase in the Social Security retirement age to 86
immediate deportation of all DREAMers
a federal abortion ban
legislative repeal of Obergefell v Hodges
or three or four other things the Republicans will use to attack the Democrats during the 2018 campaign whether Democrats sign off on them or not
Step 4: The Democrats filibuster the living shit out of this atrocity of a bill. Our leadership will get up and say, "if it was a clean bump stock ban we'd sign readily, but this isn't. It is nothing more or less than a way to try to kill the Democratic Party." Fox News will paint our leadership as unpatriotic and willing to kill children to advance our legislative agenda.
Step 5: The bill dies.
Step 6: Trump will then send about 300 tweets blaming the Democrats for not passing the bump stock ban.
Rinse and repeat.

http://www.columbiabasinherald.com/crime__fire/20180219/woman_burned_at_gas_stationAbout 8:15 a.m. emergency responders responded to a report of a vehicle fire at Cascade Grocery, located in the 8000 block of Valley Road Northeast. Deputies discovered a 1988 Ford Tempo was parked at the gas pumps and the unidentified male driver of the car attempted to pump gas into a garbage can, which was in the back seat of the car.
The female passenger, who was smoking a cigarette, apparently caused the fumes to ignite, engulfing the car. The woman got out of the car but sustained severe burns. A bystander drove her to Samaritan Healthcare in Moses Lake for treatment. Her current condition in unknown. The male driver ran away on foot, stated Grant County Sheriffs Office spokesman Kyle Foreman.
The fire was extinguished and deputies reportedly located a large amount of marijuana in the truck of the car, which was seized as evidence.
I found a new dating website...
It's for deplorables only.
https://trump.dating
You have to be straight to sign up. You do not have to be single, in keeping with their messiah's own sexual preferences.
It's also a very handy reference for the rest of us...if you find a nice person on one of the "conventional" sites you can cross-reference your match to the Trump Dating website to know whether you should stay the hell away from that person.
How not to steal metal

Today's candidate for immortality is Brett K. Anderson of Post Falls, Idaho.
He decided to make a little extra money by stealing some 40-foot irrigation pipes and selling them to a metal recycler. The only thing he had to haul them in was a car, so he rolled down both back windows and stuck them through. To his credit, he only hit three oncoming motorists.
Anderson claims this is "the dumbest thing I've ever done in my life." It's hard to disagree with that sentiment.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun...
...is keeping him from getting one in the first place.
