Penguin takes his car to get it fixed and during the wait it was awful hot so he goes to the store across the street and hangs out in frozen foods for awhile. When he comes back the mechanic says, Hey it looks like you blew a seal. And the penguin wipes his chin and says, No, that's just a little vanilla ice cream.

"Hey, I think you've posted this naughty joke in the wrong topic. By the way, we baby seals hate penguins!"

Really, Layman? Do you honestly think this is a good idea?

Of course he doesn't. He's trolling you and you ought not to respond.

Trump threatens to ‘send in the feds’ to address Chicago ‘carnage’

President Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday night to re-up the idea of sending federal law enforcement to Chicago if the city’s homicide rate doesn’t come down.

“If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on,” Trump wrote, “I will send in the Feds!”

Help us, GOP. You’re our only hope.

What we know so far is that the man is who he is. There is no larger, finer man inside him trying to get out. Everyone who is paying attention knows this. Flags flying at the Capitol, the U.S. Marine Band, gray eminences in black coats, and He Who Is Smarter Than Those With Intelligence delivers 16 minutes of hooey and horse hockey about corrupt politicians betraying the people, and American carnage, and patriotism healing our division, though the division is mainly about Himself and though love of country does not necessarily make people stupid.

There might as well have been a 14-year-old boy at the lectern saying that he is in possession of the Golden Goblet that will drive the Gimlets from Fredonia and preserve the Sacred Marmite of Lord Numbskull and his Nimrods.

The next day he motored out to the CIA and stood before the memorial wall honoring heroes who gave their lives in anonymity and he bitched about his newspaper coverage. The next day he boasted that his inauguration’s TV ratings were higher than those in 2013. The day after that, he told the congressional leadership that he lost the popular vote because millions of illegal votes were cast, which everyone in the room knew was a bald-faced lie, except perhaps Himself. The man is clueless, tightly locked inside his own small bubble. A sizable minority of Americans, longing for greatness or wanting to smack down an ambitious woman and to show those people in the hellhole coastal cities what the real America is all about, has elected him. To him, this minority is a mass movement such as the world has never seen. God have mercy.

What the hell would a Federal force do?

President Trump’s nominee to become the nation’s budget director, Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), defended Tuesday his support of cuts to popular entitlement programs that Trump vowed to keep intact and emphasized that he would bring a “fact-based approach” to the role.

This is what Trump voters said when asked to compare his inauguration crowd with Obama’s

On Sunday and Monday, we surveyed 1,388 American adults. We showed half of them a crowd picture from each inauguration (see below) and asked which was from Trump’s inauguration and which was from Obama’s.

If the past is any guide, we would expect that Trump supporters would be more likely to claim that the picture with the larger crowd was the one from Trump’s inauguration, as doing so would express and reinforce their support for him.

...If a significant portion of Trump supporters are willing to champion obvious fabrications, challenging fabrications with facts will be difficult

Only the fit survive. Only the fit deserve to survive.

Welcome to dystopia - George Orwell experts on Donald Trump

As Orwell writes: “Science, in the old sense, had almost ceased to exist. In Newspeak there is no word for science.”

About the only thing they're "entitled" to is a good bitch-slappin.

They are entitled to the same freedom, rights and consequences as the meat-eaters or Bran-Flake-eaters.

Yo ass been suspended, Frug?

Yep, they couldn't handle the truth.
