Midweek Open Thread
Republican Versus Democrats by A. F. Branco.
Happy Hump Day This Aint Hell! The first month of 2019 came and went and Valentine is around the corner. Hoped you guys had a good January and that you’re still going strong on your resolutions. Here’s your midweek open thread.
Category: Open thread
FIRST!
Congrats, if real life would stop getting in the way I’d have more time to write essays and (semi)witty retorts…
In any event a couple of Southern comfort and ginger ales along with a play by play on the SOTU and Democratic Response last night would be most entertaining.
I hope it wasn’t lost on people that a successful billionaire developer made a speech that was rebutted by an almost bankrupt dipshit tax evader.
Word! Spot on VoV. I was discussing that same subject with a Lady Friend when the FIRST announcement was made about her doing the rebuttal. She has been bankrolled on several different political fields. She only became successful when the demon rats cherry picked a district where they knew the votes could be bought err stol err tabulated in her favor. We in Georgia were swamped with their socialistic BS throughout her guvanator campaign, print, mass mailings, broadcast media.
Kemp won his race by the skin of his teeth. As a professional politician, he was not my FIRST choice for the GA Gov. We are hoping he does us some good. He’ll have 8 years to do his damage. Down here it is very unusual to have a 1 term Guv. Roy Barnes is the only one in recent modern history, and he got booted out for lying about the GA (1956 version) Flag. His (Barnes) successor got a walk for basically the same thing by switching from demon rat to republicran.
Abrams, like AOC, & the Muslim candidates are typical of what we will have to fight for awhile. Enough left wing/liberal money and people are moving into these areas to dilute the voting patterns of working folks to reflect the influx of “free shit army” types. Documented that Abrams met with the Soros crowd, Maxie Pad, Pigulosi, et all prior to and during her last campaign. They are grooming her for the North GA Senate seat for 2020. It can be easily taken because of the large amount of dims stacked up in the Metro Atlanta and Augusta Areas.
Maintain Eternal Vigilance!
Bam!!!!! Again! FIRST TOT on the DWs of TAH. Tho not as prestigious as the Friday Weekend Open Thread, (The ONLY Open thread that is covered by the Coveted Book of FIRSTs) it is still my honor to claim a MWOT FIRST.
Let it be said! Drinks on me lads and lassies!
A MWOT first is like kissing your sister, still don’t count for shit! Congrats anyway 5th/77th, may you enjoy your 2 days on the middle throne?
There is no throne. You should know that, WW, unless you count the one in the little room down the hall.
Thanks to ye very bigly WW. It does count for bragging rights. Especially following up a Friday WOT win. So two FIRSTs within the same week would be more like kissing a cousin wouldn’t it? Aren’t FIRST & 2nd cousins for practicing on anyhow?
Kissing your sister doesn’t count?
Ah, nevermind …
Nah you should continue that train of thought, I suspect it was leading to some fairly entertaining observation.
I think it depends on what state the kissing occurs in. What’s OK in Alabama doesn’t necessarily work in Minnesota.
Careful SFC D. Wasn’t it Minn where the girl congress critter had legally married her brother to get her green card extended?
I got hot sisters and hot cousins.
Damn. Didn’t think that all the way through.
it’s ok SFC D, I live in MN and she just took over Ellison’s beat (pun intended).
Lot’s of crickets here. No one wants to have a 3 martini lunch with the Artillery? Mad cause the winner of the coveted Friday WOT has claimed another FIRST for the MOT? This is not for participation trophies, this is for lording over rights. Will be also charging extra for the schooling of GDContractor on proper lording over methods.
How’d ya like the way the Trumpster rode herd on the demon rats on evening past? It should be obvious that the demon rats are working just as hard as they can to turn this Great Republic into another socialistic sh&thole. And how about the supposed rebuttal? Pitiful, plum pitiful.
Would try to engage in some intelligent conversation but gotta get some stuff done. Later…
Well, wasn’t last night’s speech something else.
LOL, I actually fell asleep some time near the end and woke up after 11.
What of it I did see was absolutely exquisite.
I can’t wait until this afternoon to hear the pundits disassemble the Dempcraps and their behavior and response.
I’m enjoying every little thing Trump does to shine a 1,000,000 candle power light on their shit.
AOC was awesome. The Dems are going to dump her and run a moderate for that seat.
The images of the Dems sitting on their hands was bad for the Dem party.
I predict Dems swing a wee bit middle after the bad behavior of last night.
Chucky and Nancy Poledanski even clapped for “NO SOCIALISM” … poor Bernie looked liked someone pissed in his cage free organic salad.
I understand that Ojos Locos wore a cape to the occasion. Is that correct wear for something like that? I was under the impression that the Opposition had to wear armor in case whoever was speaking did something naughty.
I need to watch it in its entirety cause I missed it. The bits and bobs I did see was just how transparently bitter and angry that old hag Pelosi is. She needs better glue for her dentures, cause she can’t stop chewing them. It’s not a good look.
And what is with Schumer always looking like the Penguin from Batman? He has a permanent hunch that makes him look like he’s scheming to take over Gotham.
9st!

No RBG sighting last night.
apparently she chronically misses the republican speeches and doesn’t miss a single dems *shrugs*
I think only 4 of the Associate Justices showed up.
Last X A Group Of Democrats Wore White-It was not good for blacks!!
Last time I saw that many Democrats wearing white they were standing around a burning cross.
It really did look like a meeting of the Ladies’ Klan Auxiliary we used to see in old photos from the 1920s…
Combat Historian, NH Sparky and Jeffrey Monroe:
😂🤣😆😅!!!!!
Going dark for a few days after tomorrow. Apparently my doctor is rather pissed at me and I gotta head back to Casa de Sparky.
But will be back at the grind soon enough, and probably won’t be home again until Memorial Day weekend.
My best, Sparky. Unpiss the doctor.
When it rains, it pours…
“Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring Admits Wearing Blackface At 1980 College Party”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/virginia-ag-mark-herring-admits-wearing-blackface-at-1980-college-party
“Dark make up”
CNN
And the hits just keep on rollin’
“Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring admitted to wearing blackface during a college party in 1980, the latest stunning, political bombshell to rock Richmond as the state’s embattled governor and lieutenant governor also find themselves embroiled in scandal.”
“In a lengthy statement on Wednesday, Herring, a Democrat, said he wore brown makeup and a wig in 1980 to look like a black rapper during a party as an undergraduate at the University of Virginia….”
He dressed as a black rapper in 1980? Um, ah…I don’t think so. What he meant to say was that he dressed as a Negro. Likely, he had no idea what rap music was until the mid to late 80s. Even MTV didn’t play a rap music video until 1981. His hole just got deeper.
Well Fab five Freddy told him ( and Blondie) that everybody is Fly, so he has that going for him.
Popcorn! Glad I invested in futures and packaging facilities. These hit just keep a ‘coming. Kinda like ol’ Nick Saban just areaching back on his bench and pulling another Trophy Candidate off and putting him on the scrimmage line. (rtr)
Let the self destruction continue. It’s odd, all of these people purported to do racyss and nefarious acts are the same ones pushing the dialog to remove Confederate War Memorials. Isn’t life strange.
5th/77th FA & 2/17th Air Cav:
Since Claw is back, am requesting a NSN for Trenching Tool so that the Virginia Governor, LT Governor and Attorney General can keep digging themselves deeper and deeper…
😉
Bwaaaaahahahahahaha gasp gasp hahahahaahasnertguffawgiggleteehee
That’s a very Christian thing to do, AnotherPat, but they seem to be quite adept at digging without any assistance from either mechanical or manual devices.
Have some Rice Krispy Treats? Fresh made this morning.

Word is that you look none up, Claw, that you have committed them all to memory.
Yep. And therein lies the problem. I wake up at night screaming from the nightmares brought on by remembering the FSN’s (Federal Stock Numbers/pre-FY76) for Deuce-and-a-Half Oil Filters (884-4801) and Jeep Spark Plugs (287-9135)./smile
Vanessa Tyson just released a detailed statement describing the very brutal sexual assault upon her by Justin Fairfax. This one has the date, location, and actual description down in explicit detail. The Lt. Governor’s predicament has just gotten a LOT more serious…
Why didn’t she chomp on his pee-pee? Talk about good evidence: bite marks. Or a good, old-fashioned ball grab and twist. Crunch.
Panic. Terror. Humiliation.
Most of the women I know who got attacked are not the ones raised to be comfortable dishing out violence. They have neither the hormonal foundation nor cultural blessing.
The forcible rapist is an ambush predator. They generally don’t pick out women known to be combative.
Important to raise ladies with the means and willingness to fight. Also important that folks know ladies have an avenger.
My Niece learned “dirty fighting, and when” beginning at 5. Also a bit about what would happen to anyone who crossed certain lines. (Assuming her mother didn’t get to the cretin first. Sis likes an axe as an instrument of mayhem. )
Taking a break from shoveling snow, so did a little research that may lead to a few discussions./s

Now back to shoveling snow and thinking about how I should have taken the night baker’s job at the mess hall when it was offered to me./smile
Thanks for the NSN on LRP rations. The ones we had in RVN were made by Oregon Freeze Dried Foods of Oregon. My Supply Sgt. once traded four cases of them for six pallets of 60mm mortar ammo that we could not order through normal supply channels as only ARVN units were authorized to requisition it. We had a 60mm mortar we inherited from the Marine 1st Recon Bn.
You’re very welcome.
And a bonus NSN for you and other people who are so inclined:
8465-00-261-4995 Case, Parachutist’s Individual Weapons
When in FRG we used them for our M-14’s. With the M-16’s we just taped a couple of socks over the muzzle and the front sight, and slung them over a shoulder muzzle down.
On this date in history, 6FEB:
1944 – Lt. j.g. Carrell I. “Zoom” Pinnell, in his PB4Y-1 Liberator aircraft, sinks German submarine U-177 west of Ascension Island, in the South Atlantic.
1945 – U.S. Navy submarine USS Pampanito (SS 383) attacks a Japanese convoy and sinks merchant tanker Engen Maru about 200 miles northeast of Singapore. Also on this date, USS Spadefish (SS 411) sinks Japanese merchant passenger-cargo ship Shohei Maru off Port Arthur, Korea.
That same USS Pampanito served as the USS Singray in ‘Down Periscope’.
Here’s the Pampanito as Stingray leaving the harbor.

“What is the line of succession for the governorship?”
“The first stop in Virginia’s gubernatorial line of succession is the lieutenant governor. If the lieutenant governor’s office is vacant, the attorney general would become governor in the case of the governor’s resignation. If the attorney general cannot serve as governor, the speaker of the House of Delegates — currently Republican Kirk Cox — would become the governor. And if the speaker cannot serve, the state constitution says the House of Delegates “shall convene and fill the vacancy.”
I’ll take some Rice Krispie Treats, 5th/77th FA…or better yet, bring on the popcorn…
IMHO, those three are not going to resign considering Virginia may end up having a Republican Governor…
AW1Ed…don’t you wish this would take place in Maryland?😉
All righty then, the betting window is getting crowded now. I had wagered when this FIRST broke that he’d (The Guv) would get a pass/walk. No way the demon rats will allow a Repub Guv, so they all may walk. Maybe attend sensitivity training together and have an “I have sinned” televangelist moment. Just gonna get better.
Popcorn was first passed at TAH Time 2:57 comment; still plenty available. Between charles w buying up a bunch of futures and a group of us going in on idled packaging plants, we have a goodly supply. And it’s not even spendy for our favorite TAH admins due to the winnings I’ve made at FGS and WOT $. Help yourself to all you want. Snack down till you go all ‘splodey, you know like dims heads are going right now!
We have a RINO Governor here in the PRDofMD; we’d likely end up with a dipshit like our gun-grabbing Attorney General Brian Frosh.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Frosh
charles w first advised to “Go long on popcorn futures” last November. Gawd, if only I had listened to him.
This circus trainwreck requires more than standard popcorn; caramel corn is what will be needed here…
Need Popcorn? Go to gpopcorn.com. The company is ran by a East Hog Flats High School classmate of mine.
His website says a 50 lb. bag will only cost ya a couple of sawbucks./smile
Have to ask, Claw…
Is there a NSN for Popcorn, Plain…or as Combat Historian recommended, Carmel Corn?
😎
Why, Yes, Yes there is for Popcorn, Yellow, Unpopped. The NSN is 8940-01-379-7520. Unit of Issue is CS(Case) That gets you four 12.50 pound bags.
Some assembly is required since either NSN 7310-01-302-1173 or NSN 7310-01-312-0051 gets you a Popcorn Machine for the Man-Room.
Sorry, CH, but no NSN available for Carmel Corn at this time.
A little further research reveals that an NSN for Caramel Corn will not be forth-coming.
The government’s current contract for popcorn only calls for Yellow Butterfly Popcorn, not Yellow Mushroom Popcorn.
Caramel Popcorn is made with the Mushroom type of popcorn, not Butterfly.
So, SOL on that./smile
The description “Yellow Butterfly” and “Yellow Mushroom” makes it sound so unappealing…🙄
Darn…
Gladys Knight rocks….😎

GK was always a class act and a great entertainer. She knew how to put on a show. Wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn that she voted for dTrumpster. Liked (+_+) what she had said about speaking the truth, and doing what was best for the nation. Who do we know that was running against dTrumpster that had a tendency to bend the truth a bit.
All of these Krapadick protesters keep forgetting, that he was basically benched originally cause he was a piss poor quarterback. I guess it’s OK to not play a decent player for having Christian beliefs (Tim Tebow), but it’s rayyciss to bench a flag/popo protester that isn’t worth a crap.
IMO the only sports person that became a hero lately was a gentleman named Pat Tillman. Just saying.
Didn’t watch the Stupid Bowl but did read that the only touchdown was made by a former UGA player.
Team Ruff did take Top Honors in the Puppy Bowl.
Lowest rated SB since 2009 BTW. The other former UGA alum & the highest paid RB in the Social Justice League went MIA for the Rams.
Speaking of Virginia and the abortion story here is something I don’t see in MSM.
Kinda shocking so beware.

Can’t be good either way. Stillborn/live birth then abandoned? Back room abortion? They need to find the Mother soon.

Asking for myself!
Anyone catch the second episode of Judge Judy today? Lady plaintiff suing the host of a blog to force her into revealing commenter(s) on a blog who wrote disparaging comments about her.
Hadn’t seen/heard ’bout that. Gunsmoke trumps Judge Judy, tho she is kinda hot in a well preserved older white gal sorta way. Details?
One of the two great Robinsons of baseball history has died. Frank Robinson died today at the age of 83. He was deemed a has-been by the Reds (today his last year as a Red–1965–would be worth untold millions. He only hit 33 HRs and only had 133 ribbies.) So, the has-been was traded to the Orioles and Frank Robinson went out and hit .316, 49 homers, and knocked in 122 to win the Triple Crown. He wasn’t done. The Orioles swept the Dodgers in the World Series that season and Robinson hit two homers and was named MVP, both of the league and the World Series! In his six years with Baltimore, the Orioles went to the series four times. In 1982, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. It took only one ballot. Thanks, Frank, it was great. You were great.
