Things that STILL bug me

I decided that I'm going to do an essay about things that STILL bug the hell out of me. These have been "Settled" for a long time among my political circles, but they're things that every time I think of them, make me go "There's something WRONG here." I bring this up because there are a lot of accusations of Conspiracy Theory brought up when even the hint of questioning the official story comes up.

Boise Berns

I was a very long time lurker at the big orange until the latest HRC mess, and was very happy to see caucus99percent start up.

"Last I checked, we don’t have a rubber shortage in America. Look, when I was in college, we had a machine in the bathroom, you put 50 cents in and voila.

How Trump's Insular Campaign is a Canary in a Coal Mine

The insular nature of Drumph's operation is to me one of the most potentially frightening aspects of a Drumph presidency. Corey Loser-dowski's behavior on the Donald Drumph Medicine Show Tour, and the lack of accountability he has faced for his behavior, is a canary in the coal mine.

OLLIE PLAYS THE PIPER

A man walked into a bar pulling a wagon on which was a huge a salt water tank with a cute little octopus in it.

He bellied up to the bar, with the wagon behind him, and announced, "My octopus, Ollie, can play any musical instrument you hand him and I have 60 bucks that says you can't stump him."
