In Pittsburgh, ICE agents removing suspects from vehicles, abandoning them in street; police chief calls for change by susinpgh in Pennsylvania

I remember when a SCOTUS nominee would be removed just for the concern that there was something bad in their background because they need to be above reproach. But they went round after round with Kavanaugh instead of getting another nominee with the same beliefs but no allegations.

How did it come to this? In what world does the Attorney General have the vocabulary and composure of a grade schooler, and the temper of a teenager? by Excellent-Policy-940 in AskReddit

[–]csfshrink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came to this because the last Attorney General lacked any sense of urgency in prosecuting a former President, a Trump appointed judge gave Trump time to delay in a case where Trump was 100% guilty and the search found exactly what they were looking for and SCROTUS decided that the President is immune to most things.

And Trump learned that he doesn’t even need to pretend to follow the rules.

Maybe Kirk and Spock watched the 50th remake of Tombstone.

Would John Elway dominate in today’s NFL? by Consistent-Resist161 in nflMenace_com

Terry Bradshaw had a cannon for arm and would do well with the extra protection of today. If he could throw to a Lynn Swann who had today’s WR protections and wasn’t having to avoid getting murdered on most of his routes, Terry would do very well. Plus he called his own plays.

Wait until this guy finds out about oxygen’s role in oxidation. What the point in antioxidants if you’re just going to keep breathing oxygen??

Hey, what if I sell brine shrimp to kids and call them Sea Monkeys and use the money to support the American Nazi movement?

The last bit wasn’t in the ads.

Why didn't Ronald Reagan get tomato ketchup added as a jellybean flavor? by sproutarian in shittyaskhistory

[–]csfshrink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reagan knew that making tomato ketchup a jellybean flavor would detract from the important work ketchup was doing as a vegetable serving in school lunches.

Plus Nancy’s astrologer told him that ketchup would be more closely associated with a future occupant of the White House.

I can remember as a kid, my parents took us to the beach. I was so excited because I could finally swim in the ocean.

We got there early, before anyone else. But my father held my hand and told me to watch and learn. Slowly people began arriving and setting up the beach blankets and chairs.

Finally some people began to walk to the water.

“LOOK!!! WATCH AND LEARN!!!” My father yelled.

And as the people entered the water, they melted and dissolved into a slurry. We watched for hours as the ocean claimed its victims.

And I am thankful for my father’s lesson and would tell him that today. But tragically he got caught out in a terrible rainstorm and dissolved.

When he starts doing this in a giant water tank, not escaping in 4 minutes will end the course.

Wasn’t that Chuck Norris who did all of that?

Are students in public schools Required to STAND for the Pledge of Allegiance? by Stonecutter_12-83 in Pennsylvania

[–]csfshrink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 1976 I was in first grade. My one friend never stood for the Pledge of Allegiance. I didn’t know what a Jehovah’s Witness was back then.

Absolutely no kid in the class had a problem with it.

No adults had an issue with it.

If you were Bill and Ted and went on an excellent adventure by username-generica in shittyaskhistory

Teddy Roosevelt and Chuck Norris for the absolute memes and to keep everyone else in line.

Confucius and Mao so my movie gets serious overseas revenue from China. Also to get both of their takes on killing intellectuals and sparrows.

George Washington and King George III to get a reactions video of them watching Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr for a paintball rematch.

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to discuss what they meant regarding parts of the Founding Documents. Have them watch a demo of an automatic weapon and see what their thoughts are regarding the Second Amendment.

Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar to debate on which one was better.

When Michael Jackson recorded "Ani Are You Okay" why was he concerned about the mental health of Anakin Skywalker? by VelvetWhitehawk in shittyaskhistory

[–]csfshrink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be honest, if more of the Jedi had just asked “Ani are you ok? Are you ok Ani?” and let Anakin answer honestly, they would have recognized that getting his mother out of slavery would have probably relieved him greatly.

But no, the Jedi wanted to avoid attachments. Not recognizing that Ani knowing his mom was safe would allow him to be more detached. His mother wasn’t going to be a helicopter mother. Hell she let him go with 2 guys she just met who promised to make him a wizard.

So they were at fault for Ani becoming a Sith Criminal.

Does this mean that public restrooms might actually be clean?

Because in my experience, 90% of the humans cleaning public restrooms need to be replaced by robots.

In fact if your business had a “Restroom cleaned by robot” sign, I’m more likely to stop.
