[Our National Treasure] PAINFUL: Chelsea Clinton embarrassed herself BADLY attempting to shame Trump over WWE gif
[Twitchy] Even if you’re not a YUGE fan of Donald Trump, you have to admit his ability to make the Left and the media jump is fairly impressive. For example, when he tweeted the animated WWE gif Lefties lost their damn minds.

So of course it should come as no surprise that Hillary’s daughter also lost her marbles ... well, the marbles she had left.
Continues humorously...

#1  A muleta is a stick with a red cloth hanging from it that is used in the final third (tercio de muleta or de muerte) of a bullfight. It is different from the cape used by the matador earlier in the fight (capote de brega).
The muleta obscures the sword, and as in his earlier work with the cape, the bullfighter uses it to attract the bull in a series of passes, demonstrating his control over it.

#2  Trump is in the WWE hall of fame.

#3  Chelsea is feisty and woke. She's also dumb and as accomplished as a box of rocks

#4  Wondering when Chelsea will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

#5  I see where CNN has chased down the identity of the person who created the GIF, but they can't chase down any real facts during their anti-Trump attacks. Curiouser and curiouser.

#6  CNN probably bribed one of the Reddit admins to give them the info.
Posted by: rjschwarz || 07/05/2017 12:16 Comments || Top||

#7  More likely they got the IP info from their parent company Time/Warner, rj. Supposedly it's just a 15 year old kid who made the gif.

Twitter Feed #CNNBlackmail

The younger techie folks here at the office are saying that 4chan and Reddit geeks are starting an offensive against CNN for threating to expose the kid who made the CNN/WWE gif initially.

Could be popcorn time.

#8  Love the way that graphic highlights her Arkansas DNA.

#9  4Chan has been really ramping up operations. Exposing Antifa members, taking down Shia Labeouf's operations... as they put it, Behold the power of fully weaponized autism!

#10  #1 A muleta is a stick with a red cloth...

Ah, not muffaleta. I suddenly realize why my one bullfighting experience went so horribly wrong.

#11  At least Chelsea Clinton's better than Chelsea Manning (and cuter).

Government
UPDATE: Illinois Senate Overrides Gov. Rauner Veto of 32% Income Tax Hike
[LI] The Illinois Senate has just approved the massive income tax hike, two days after the House approved it. This bill will permanently raise the income tax 32% from 3.75% to a little under 5%. It also raises the corporate tax rate from 5% to 7%.

Republican Governor Bruce Rauner vetoed the bill this afternoon. The Senate voted to override Rauner’s veto 36-18. Now the bills go back to the House, which will vote tomorrow.
As predicted right here, and across the globe.

#1  When all you have is a hammer tax hike, every problem looks like a nail need for mo' money

#2  They did it on Independence Day. Message delivered.

#3  HOW MUCH WILL THE $5 BILLION TAX HIKE COST YOUR FAMILY?
Posted by: Vast Right Wing Conspiracy || 07/05/2017 11:35 Comments || Top||

#4  Yeah, this increase picks up less than half of Illinois' existing way overdue unpaid bills (not including pension obligations) in the first year.

They'll probably find something else to do with the increased revenue other than pay down their debt, though.

#5  At least it will be clear whos fault it is when the state totally collapses so that any kind of lawsuits can be correctly applied.
Posted by: rjschwarz || 07/05/2017 12:14 Comments || Top||

#6  Don't let the gate bump the butts of businesses/people-with-skills exiting the state.
Posted by: Thumper || 07/05/2017 17:53 Comments || Top||

#7  Fiduciary Responsibility

State and national constitutions need a clause that if the legislature is unable to balance the budget, outside of extreme circumstance (ie a state of war), all members of the body are barred for 10 years of any elected or appointed governmental position. You better believe they'll start compromising way before things like this occur.
