Last I heard he was leading in the polls too :\

Also, I saw on I Fucking Love Science that some papers with Juno data in them were published today!

Unfortunately, a lot of votes were cast before the actual voting day, so the criminal won. This is not a surprise given how Republican Montana has been.

Farewell Roger Moore.

[Azrael]

So long, Ramblin' Man.

[Adamas]

Could someone explain the logic behind this?

[Don Alexander]

Pew Pew Pew?

[yiraheerai]

I wouldn't be surprised if the people suggesting it have always wanted to and are now using it as an excuse

[Don Alexander]

Trump uses "Instant Neologism"! It's super effective!

I'm pretty sure trump does not know "neologism", though.

Also:

- Huge bombing in Kabul
- Trump wants out of Paris climate accord

Meanwhile, in Boondocks, USA...

dog_rates made a hat out of it with half of profits being donated to Planned Parenthood. In addition, they will match the PP donations and use it for a local dog shelter.

The alligator: There is not enough facepalm in the world. Oh South.

[Don Alexander]

Oh, and by the way...

FUCK TRUMP!!!!

[yiraheerai]

What bothers me the most is his supporters still support him. They think he's doing GREAT.

..Why are some people garbage?

[Azrael]

Well, at least Trump knows when to pull out.

[BlairFan]

Trump is screwing us, and we're not even getting the chance to enjoy it.
(BTW, when I say 'us", I mean the entire human race.)

so, apparently, this needed to be said

The method can cause painful sex and an increased risk of contracting HIV

An all-natural treatment for women looking to rejuvenate and tighten their vagina is giving doctors serious cause for concern – ground-up wasp nests.

That’s right, some women are actually using oak galls – tree deformities caused by wasp nests – as an at-home remedy for vaginal rejuvenation.

But, while some natural ingredients are hailed for their ability to alleviate health problems, Canadian gynaecologist Jen Gunter says using this method can have serious long-term implications.

Formed when a wasp lays eggs in a tree’s leaf buds so that the larva can develop inside, oak galls are being sold by online retailers – including Etsy - who claim that grounding them into a paste can help tighten the vagina and get rid of bad smells.

But, Dr Gunter has slammed the practice on her blog warning women that using this method could lead to painful sex, a lack of healthy bacteria and an increased risk of contracting HIV.

Etsy retailer Heritage Health Shop claims that oak galls could improve sex lives

“This product follows the same dangerous pathway of other 'traditional' vaginal practices.

“Drying the vaginal mucosa increases the risk of abrasions during sex (not good) and destroys the protective mucous layer (not good).

“It could also wreak havoc with the good bacteria. In addition to causing pain during sex it can increase the risk of HIV transmission. This is a dangerous practice with real potential to harm.”

Etsy store Indojuara continues to market the product as a way to tighten the vagina

The Etsy retailer that Dr Gunter found selling the oak galls – Heritage Health Shop – claimed that they could improve sex lives and be used on cuts with a warning that the paste will hurt.

“Here's a pro-tip, if something burns when you apply it to the vagina it is generally bad for the vagina,” Dr Gunter added.

While it’s worth noting that this particular seller has since removed their listing, oak galls are still available elsewhere.

In fact, one store called Indojuara continues to market the product as a way to tighten the vagina, cure urinary infections and even abolish bad odours.

But, as you might predict, none of these claims are backed by science.

Wasp nest? Really? Now matter how advance, how modern and intelligent, some people claim to be, it is articles like this that make me wonder.

You know like those so-called "Men" who are acting very unmanly by whining about a 'all woman' showing of Wonder Woman at Alamo Draft house in Austin Texas. One of the bet response was the mayor of Austin :Burn. Seriously, (and this is for most of the so-called protester out there) don't you people have a sense of humor and learn how to chill? Not everything that happens in the world is battle for the future of *insert group here*.

Speaking of which; I am most confused as to my options for the future now that President Trump pulled us out of the Pairs Accord. Do I buy a house boat since the sea levels will raise hundreds of feet within the next 10 years (as Al Gore keeps claiming every ten years)? Then again, they keep saying that this year those of us in Gulf Coast region will face more and more, powerful, killer hurricanes, you know like they have predicted the past five years, which we have yet to see? Or should I move back to the Mid West ... where we will face droughts, killer heat waves in the 150 - 200 degrees at night?

Oh well, since President Trump has single handedly destroyed the world and doom the human race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess I shall just sit here and play R.E.M. over and over again.

Truly I am terrible sad .... truly.
