    Listen! The Sound of Fatfuck!


    Actually, i believe this is probably an authentic recording from the 400-pound golden throne the morning after the Bakers' Dozen Big Mac Midnight Snack.

    Ken Starr was a frontrunner to be nominated to the Supreme Court in the next GOP administration and instead took the job knowing that it would tank his chances. I’d love to know how much was funneled his way as a result.

    Googles say Starr's net worth at the time of death was $2 - 3 million. So not much. And I don't know if his investigation really had much impact on anything. Clinton was re-elected handily. Didn't realize he was a "Kennedy Democrat" in college and opposed the Vietnam War, clerked for a LBJ judge then at some point became a Reagan appointee.

    Sorry, Donnie. You’re own your own.

    The Justice Department said Tuesday that it will no long seek to make the U.S. government the defendants in a lawsuit filed against Donald Trump by a writer who says the former president raped her several decades ago.

    The decision comes after three years in which the department, under both Republican and Democratic leadership, argued that Trump was acting within his presidential duties when he denied sexually assaulting columnist E. Jean Carroll. That determination made Trump, like other federal employees acting in their official capacity, totally immune from any liability.

    On Tuesday, a Justice Department leader said in a court filing that two things had changed since they first moved to intervene in the case. First, a D.C. court clarified the law around what qualifies as public work, saying that it was determined in part by “the subjective state of mind of the employee,” that official responses to press questions didn’t always qualify and that the professional purpose can be so “insignificant” as to be irrelevant. Second, a jury in New York State Court found that Trump sexually abused and defamed Carroll, and he has been accused of defaming her again in response to that verdict. (The jury did not find that Trump raped her, and he has since accused Carroll of defamation for insisting he did. The judge responded a week later, saying the jury found Trump committed rape “as many people commonly understand the word” but New York law has a “narrow, technical” definition that requires penetration with a penis.

    “The circumstantial evidence of Mr. Trump’s subjective intent in making the allegedly defamatory statements does not support a determination in this case that he was sufficiently motivated by a desire to serve the United States Government,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton wrote. Rather, he said, drawing on both the statements Carroll sued over and what Trump has said since, the “history supports an inference that Mr. Trump was motivated by a ‘personal grievance’ stemming from events that occurred many years prior to Mr. Trump’s presidency.”​

    How about we trade that for allowing Cop Killer back on Body Count's self-titled 1992 debut? It's about coming to an understanding with local law enforcement but the knee-jerk reactionaries at the time never looked past the words to the deeper meaning.
