Oh shit, what are we gonna do now?

A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.

Price is gone.

[Mothra]

Are we ever gonna get the rest of that money back or did we all just take yet another one for the team

[Mongrel]

Unfortunately, today is not what you might call a good news day:







(see also: the disaster thread)

[Mongrel]

All according to Keikaku, comrade! Da!

(ACLU already on this like white on rice, obv).

[Mongrel]

Oh that story got even funnier. Price's temporary replacement is is a guy named Don J. Wright.

[Mongrel]

This, uh... this might just be the scariest thing I've heard Trump say to date?

[François]

is it bad to hope for a coup just this once

Military Junta sounds too Mexican.

Speaking of that... Starr and I were wondering yesterday: Has the US prison system become so bad that it's actually getting comparable to prison systems in Central American nations?

God help us all, we can only pray he's just doing this to get people to pay attention to him.

In fairness, he says a lot of stupid shit.

But hey, it's Fireday; we'll see if Tillerson makes it through the end of the day. He, Mattis, and Mnuchin have allegedly agreed to a "suicide pact" whereby if one of them gets fired, the other two will resign; that seems like a decent enough candidate for "the storm".
