Wednesday Shitstain on Humanity News

[2curlydogs]

I'm in a mood.

Cheeto Satan is apparently going to be in town this afternoon and staying overnight. Which means traffic is going to be all jacked up and it's going to cost the city a ton of money because? Today is opening night of Summerfest to boot. It's going to be an absolute fucking nightmare.

According to the city's Department of Public Works, the area that will be barricaded and not accessible to vehicular traffic beginning at 11 a.m. Wednesday is bounded by:



E. Wells St. on the north. Note that Wells St, itself will be open to thru traffic.

N. Jackson St. on the east.

E. Michigan St. on the south. Note that Michigan St. itself will be open to thru traffic.

N. Milwaukee St. on the west.


Why couldn't this asshole stay at some Days Inn down in Racine? That's what he's coming here for, after all.

Where's @angryharpy at?

I had no idea he was even coming until a friend of mine posted about the street closures on Facebook. Thank goodness she did! H took Lyft this morning and I drove. Normally I pick H up if I drive, but he works right in the middle of that mess, so he's going to walk to me.

This is on the same day that my one-way street is becoming a temporary two-way street due to construction. I pass at least 4 other construction zones in the 2.75 miles between daycare and my office. Every day is a new adventure - just when you think you know how to get somewhere, they close a new road!

I'm parked right on the corner of the closures. Fuck me.

Anyway, here's why the Orange Menace is in town. All of my favorite people all in one place.

North Korea has continued upgrading infrastructure at a major nuclear plant since Kim Jong Un promised Donald Trump "complete denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula two weeks ago, satellite imagery has shown.

Images taken by Airbus and seen by 38 North, a website run by North Korea analysts, on June 21 have suggested that improvements to the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center in the country's west was still "continuing at a rapid pace," according to the authors.

I just audibly snorted. He's just the best negotiator ever.

Was this mentioned already? In his South Carolina rally Trump verbally referred to the media as the "enemy of the people."

House to escalate Mueller document demand with Thursday vote

The House is preparing to vote Thursday on a measure chastising the Justice Department for withholding what Republicans say are critical documents connected to special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation.

The resolution is unenforceable but would for the first time put the Republican-led House on record demanding sensitive DOJ documents, escalating a confrontation that has so far been confined to a handful of powerful House committees.

Because I'm tired of yelling about SCOTUS to everyone in my office, I'm going to yell about Bernie, who thinks SHS shouldn't be confronted at dinner.

But the BEST fucking part is this:

"I’m not a great fan of shouting down people or being rude to people," Bernie Sanders said.

I'm on the IL side of the IL/WI border. Bitching at Harley and celebrating Foxconn is exactly the flip flop of what should be happening. Signed, IL voter who's concerned about our protected natural resources when Foxconn sucks Lake Michigan dry and pollutes the protected wildlife refuges. UGH.

AYFKM? He didn't just say that (about 2016 presumably). Just when I think I have reached my pinnacle of loathing for the man. 

[curbsideprophet]

What election is Bernie referring to? WTF?

[mbcdefg]

Rally in North Dakota tonight. He’s praising the My Pillow guy.

SHUT UP OLD MAN!

[aliciabella]

Did I tell you all, that I found great happiness standing in front of the Whitehouse 2 weeks ago watching a beautiful transgendered woman dance around for hours blasting music while holding an American flag? I was told this goes on 24 hours day with a lineup of volunteer dancers all day every day. This is why I love America

Fuck him.

We are watching Chris Hayes now and Bernie is back on shouting about shouting. Sigh

[pitta12]

45 is apparently going off at his rally about Hillary Clinton and how she should have spent more time in Wisconsin during the campaign. All this destruction and yet at his core he fucking hates this job and still wishes she had won. Fuck everything.

No. It's not the job that's the problem per se, especially the way he does it (rallies, signing stuff, golfing every weekend, etc), it's the criticism he hates. His ego can't take it. He wants the job but also wants everyone in the country to "sit at attention" and praise him constantly.
