Everything kept going into the Sept. 25 Open Thread, but since it is now October, this seemed appropriate here:
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/03/politics/north-korea-us-elections-2016/index.html

North Korea may be planning October Surprise, study says
(CNN) — If history is any guide, provocative actions from North Korea can be expected around the time of US elections, a new study says.

Over the past 60 years, North Korea’s leaders have attempted to incite tensions around the time of American elections — especially in recent years, the study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies says.

For example, North Korea conducted a missile test and then a nuclear test shortly after President Barack Obama was elected.

That’s pretty much the standard routine, do something provocative to test the New Guy. But what may be of concern is whether or not the next provocation is symbolic (the merciless slaughter of capitalist fish swimming near the coast of the Glorious Fatherlands) or something more “real,” such as an artillery attack on some site near the DMZ, but not actually Seoul itself. One of the disputed islands in the NLL, mines along the patrol paths, etc.

Or, it could be something big. Attacking and sinking a Coast Guard ship for daring to stop the DPRK’s good friends, the ocean scraping Chinese Fishermen.

Dems turn on ObamaCare amid premium hikes, Bill Clinton laments ‘crazy system’
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/04/dems-turn-on-obamacare-amid-premium-hikes-bill-clinton-laments-crazy-system.html

Yes as it’s from Fox it’s going to have a Repub bias but there’s a WTF. Wasn’t HillaryCare just an earlier failed attempt at what Obama bamboozled everyone with? No I didn’t use bamboozle cause he’s black I just like using bamboozle. 😛

Gary Johnson stands by being skeptical of elected officials, foreign leaders
http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/04/politics/gary-johnson-foreign-leaders/index.html

I like Johnson and all (back ChickenHead, BACK! p3n1s joke shield activated) but he really needs to do something about that mad scientist hairstyle he sports. Looks like he slept in over the weekend at the barracks and rushed into the latrine for a Monday morning bowl-cut special right before formation. 😆

Seriously though… vote for Johnson! Do it or I’m coming over to your house….

From the “It’s only racist if you’re white” files….
http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2016/10/04/sonic-drive-in-fires-workers-following-offensive-comments-on-receipt/

Now I’m not talking about Sonic’s response, which was correct in my opinion. I’m talking about the response from the female employee the customer received:
‘Do you know anything about this? Is this how y’all put the name of your customers on your receipt?’ She was like, ‘Ugh… no.’ But then she kind of giggled and just walked off and kept going,”

Both parties are black. Had the worker(s) involved been white, BLM would’ve been mobilized and burning down the store within hours. F’ing hypocrites in this country…

Typical “Gotta get paid” footnote to this is:
But an apology and training may not be enough. Moseley said he now plans on taking legal action against the fast food chain.

Yeah good luck on that, unless he can prove Sonic itself advocated this kind of behavior or knew about it and did nothing he has no chance of cashing in on that.

“Sonic says its management team will provide new training to employees to ensure they understand this type of behavior is unacceptable”

The old training didn’t inform new hires that it was unacceptable to identify black customers as niggas on the recipt?

That glaring oversight certainly sound actionable in a court of law.

Better include traing on how to wipe in case their mothers find skid marks in their underwear.

Well, Chickenhead, what’s the most you can get for $1100 and change at Hooker Hill?

Really? A government credit card at the Candy Bar? I think Hillary is rubbing off on other people. “I’m important, I can’t get into trouble!”

Um, I think you can…

Are you aware that the Norks are also pissed at the Chinese for overfishing the waters in the NW islands area?

C’mon GIKorea … you know damn well that blacks are fully aware of when it is and isn’t socially acceptable to call someone a nigga – even when everyone involved is black. For a good primer – watch the Blackish episode about the use of the N word.

No worries! I’m just waiting on Chickenhead to stop by with a price list, and a good guess as to what $1100 would get the General… 😉

I have no idea.

Before marriage, everything was free for me. After marriage, it isn’t my concern.

…but if I was to guess, I’d say $1100 buys a demotion and a reputation as an Affirmative Action general.

I don’t think it was an isolated incidence… but Korea kinda sneaks up on horndogs and next thing you know the baby and the general have matching DNA as well as all the STDs worth measuring…

If I were asked about Syria that way I’d of went off on that POS on MSNBC because it’s pretty evident he asked the question that way to intentionally make him look stupid. An embarrassing portion of American don’t even know what the capital of NY is forget knowing foreign capitals. The answer is obviously Denver. 😎
