Sunday Overnight Open Thread (9/20/20)

Quote I

"There's nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being the president in his last year," Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Quote II

"I think there's a budding realization that not only is this a good thing for us to try, but that we may not have any other option," St. Paul mayor Melvin Carter

Quote III

“They came to me and told me that they want to do positive things with their lives,”Congressional candidate Lacy Johnson

Quote IV

“I believe that not only did the College impose an undue burden on the rights of Gettysburg students, but they needlessly decided to send us home, robbing us of our tuition dollars once again," Andrew Breschard

Quote V

“Boy, this comes as a complete surprise. I mean, I read all the reviews and they said so many terrible things. That they were embarrassed for me. That I lost my way and wasn’t even worth watching. I hope all you critics learn from this. This is a teachable moment. Shut the fuck up forever.” Dave Chappelle

A recent report in Reuters takes the surprising step of hailing college students who report friends and fellow students for breaking COVID-19 social distancing rules as "whistleblowers".

"As some U.S. college students party, others blow the whistle," Reuters says. In some cases these supposed "whistleblowers" are going so far as to make 'undercover videos' capturing on or off-campus parties, which school authorities have sought to clamp down on given the general rise in infections for many campuses as they struggle to make it through the fall semester.

Apparently school administrations and security are actually pouring through footage of 'illicit parties' to identify coronavirus police rule-breakers and either send them packing or at least impose severe punishment. Town police departments have also recently released footage of Covid-19 flouting parties, as with one recent egregious case of COVID-19 positive students actually hosting a gathering.

"The raindrop never thinks its responsible for the flood."

Karen responds to Ruth Bader Ginsburg passing.

Odds she is an "educator"?

The first rule of hand cuff sex, Always have the key before you engage. Or so I've been told.

Police in Britain responded to an early morning call from a man who became trapped in a pair of handcuffs in an apparent case of romance gone awry.

The Greater Manchester Police's Rochdale station said officers responded to a home at 4:30 a.m. Friday to help a couple having difficulty with a pair of handcuffs.

This made me chuckle out loud. How do you get the press to report Joe Biden as a sexual assault perp?

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Trump has announced his pick for Supreme Court justice: Joe Biden. By nominating Biden, Trump has forced the Dems' hands, making them believe the sexual assault claims and allegations of inappropriate, creepy behavior against the former vice president.

The "4D chess" move forced Dems to immediately accuse Joe Biden of sexual assault and reverse their position on the current claims against him.

"We now believe Tara Reade," said a somber Kamala Harris, "and we will do everything in our power to destroy this man's life."

Karma meets the Genius Award Winner.

Meet Bounty Cheramy.

The 22-year-old Florida resident was arrested for drunk driving early Sunday after allegedly slamming his Mazda into an electronic sign cautioning motorists to “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”

According to a probable cause affidavit, cops found Cheramy outside his car around 12:30 AM on the Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte on the state’s Gulf Coast. Cheramy’s auto had sustained “heavy front-end damage,” reported a deputy who also noted that “the county sign board trailer had been struck.”

Cheramy told police that he was talking on the phone when he “suddenly struck something,” but was unsure “what he had struck or how he hit it.”
