US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

lmaoooo

who even are you, gtfoh

he's larry appleton

How can you expect to fight these battles and win when you're in this state? Geez. I've been trying to help with the shit you hate, but none of you can handle it.

Whatever! I'm moving on, packing my shit uup, and headin' out.

bye!!!!!!!!

funzone's self-regard is dialed up to 11, as per usual. how about we invite him to go be totally awesomely in-the-know in some other neck of the internet? reddit, maybe.

Avenatti has been doing great with the Stormy Daniels/Cohen stuff, keeping it in the news, advancing the story. He seems overextended/distracted with the border stuff, but I think he has been a net-positive, even if even he can't escape the inexorable march of the exhausting Trump news cycle.

Maura, you get mad at ME for easily confirmable facts outside my control that sheds light to help you make sense of things, answering questions you all had.

Would you prefer to live in a fantasy world? Great. Get crushed because of it. That's the end result going that road.

It's not my job, man. Altruism has brought me nothing but trouble.

Whatever! I'm moving on, packing my shit uup, and headin' out.

i think avenatti got himself involved in the border stuff / caged children because he sensed that his time in the spotlight was fading. he's not trying to escape the exhausting trump news cycle, he's trying to make sure he remains a part of it

i definitely know about lynch's meditation interest so try again on that. i look forward to not watching your 45-minute videos exposing THE REAL STORIES

Do you know how much money is involved in that stuff? Way more than being a film director.

Maura... geez. How about you stop being a coward, and join me in the abyss.

if it's full of charmers like you i'll pass

It's information to help you navigate the world and strategize, because I'm not sure you appreciate what's going on right now. I'm an info junkie because I'm a fucking masochist who can handle it.

Whatever. I was clearly wrong with my agenda here.

Pearls before swine. Whatever. I'm done 100% with this crap.

Uuuugh do we really have to wait for 51 with this guy

I was an idealistic idiot. That I'll admit. Prodigal son, I'll come back.

Stay in your fantasy worlds, get crushed. Could give a rat's dick. Laterz!!!

he has to say he's leaving 51 times before he'll actually leave

Having a hard time deciding which hysterical self-righteous post to fp tbh

Fine, whatever, I'm gone. I was a fucking utopian idiot. Grew up. Seeya!

Oh good you’re still here

J/k

I hate these long goodbyes.

Larry. Fuck the fucking fuck off.

I'm not sure if:

1) You guys are really weak; or
2) You guys are insiders who hate me talking about this

If 2), at least you could've given me a "lol"!

If 1), this shit upsets you, prepare for 10,000 times worse. Man. I'm just trying to be nice here, and you tell me to go fuck myself.

very entertaining thread!

Elloit Gould's gerat in that movie, first half hour of him is just grumbling

unlike larry, who's breathing out of his mouth

i'm weak and also an insider who hates you talking about this

Great. Well, I'll stop then, cuz I'm clearly a fucking utopian moron, and learned my lesson here.

i thought you stopped like an hour ago

this is one of the most hyped exits of the century

Larry even if you were a uniquely brilliant warrior for truth, you are very bad at posting, this is the main reason people are telling you to stop posting

*the bachelorette voice*

"COMING UP..."

I don't think that at all, silby. I just come from a Fist of the North Star world, so I'm adjusting myself here. I'm a lot more charming in person, but in person, I'd never tell you these thoughts.

Because I'm a weak motherfucker, too! HA! Guess what? I'm as frustrated as you all are, I just have no use for pretense. Throw it all out there.

How drawn up you all are in my schtick, I'm good at this, right? No shit I understand this stuff. Hurrrrr.

What good is life without pretense or a warm towel against your head?

So there we go: The whistleblower client Michael Avenatti teased allegedly got footage of one of the child camps in the southwest, which will supposedly be broadcast on MSNBC shortly.

NOW what happened? just larry?

Larry was the whistleblower. Rip buddy

APPLETON, LAWRENCE Larry Appleton was born in Everett, Massachusetts on May 12, 1933 and left this world on June 25, 2018. Larry lived in Florida for over 50 years and considered himself a transplanted Yankee. He loved his home in Geneva, Florida where he lived with his loving wife, Micki, for 44 years. Their home on Lake Harney was one of his passions and he often said that looking out his kitchen window onto the lake was like medicine to him. He loved the lake, fishing and boating. Both he and Micki enjoyed gardening. Their young children were raised on their mini ranch and have many wonderful memories of this time. Larry served in the United States Coast Guard before moving to Florida and then spent his entire 33 year working career at Martin Marietta. He was responsible for the company's food service, recreation and travel programs in Orlando and other facilities. Larry leaves behind his beloved wife, Micki, who has been his guiding angel; children, Lee Fedi, Alan Stuart Appleton, Jill Lund, Sandy Appleton, Judith Procell and Scott Appleton along with 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

let's get back to the business of US politics

larry is an object lesson in why sb was better than fp

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/us/video-diatribe-mexicans.html

A man and his mother were doing yard work in California when a woman unleashed a diatribe against Mexicans, and — invoking President Trump — called them rapists, animals and drug dealers.

The encounter was captured in a video that was posted on Twitter early Monday morning and had been viewed more than two million times by night.

In the video, which lasts about 35 seconds, the man — identified as Esteban Guzman — went back and forth with the unidentified woman, who at one point appeared to make a vulgar gesture with her middle finger.

“Why do you hate us?” Mr. Guzman asked.

“Because you’re Mexicans,” the woman said.

Mr. Guzman told the woman that “we’re honest people.” She laughed and countered with her own impressions: “Rapists. Animals. Drug dealers.” She mentioned the president, who has at times made similar remarks about illegal immigrants coming across the border, often from Mexico.

"Be careful what you wish for."

I knew I'd seen this Trump tweet before. https://t.co/sZ1Uh3oNNr pic.twitter.com/wnufVhHYnJ

Imagine what it would be like if we had the world's *most* racist person as president.
