In true Riverman Curse fashion, he is 1st in, asks if that means he gets first pick, then gets randomed to dead last.

That, coupled with NBZā€™s reluctant/blazĆ© participation has already set thread status to: Delivers

That first meme always cracks me up. He really is a turd of a human being. I foolishly held out 1% hope he would be taken down with #1. Perhaps in an alternate timeline where good things still happen. Fortunately in this darkest timeline, we at least have this draft.

Donā€™t forget that Hannity owns hundreds of rental properties across the country hidden behind shell corporations for which he obtained HUD assistance.

The Guardian reported Sunday that Hannity is linked to a web of shell companies that spent at least $90 million buying more than 870 homes across seven states over the past 10 years. The newspaper said it reviewed thousands of pages of public records to piece together Hannityā€™s alleged property portfolio.

The Fox News host bought two apartment complexes in Georgia in 2014 for $22.7 million, according to The Guardian. It reported that HUD helped him get mortgages worth $17.9 million to fund the purchases by insuring the loans under a National Housing Act program.

#2 and #3 are definitely facemelters for me

Iā€™m trying to come up with an undrafted that isnā€™t related to politics and am slowly realizing politics is the tie that binds assholes together

Not sure if Iā€™m writing or going to bed. Iā€™m at the perfect combination of beer and lateness where things could easily go either way.

At least we know that whichever you decide, it will inevitably be the one that upsets 25% of the userbase while the other 75% hand you one of their precious likes in hopes their sacrifice will one day net them unlimited likes

I mean I can see non-politicians being picked late. Plenty of journalists and woo peddlers are worthy of being selected.

I kind of want my last pick to be for fun and outside of politics. But havenā€™t figured out a choice I like yet.

There are so many different ways to be an asshole these days, but certain characteristics seem to be widely shared. The most common, of course, is absurd wealth. Especially family wealth passed down from one vile piece of shit to their child who is an even more vile piece of shit.

A great starting point is being somebody who accumulates billions not through innovation or hard work, but by purchasing somebody elseā€™s company and using their established reputation to market generic products youā€™ve secured new patents to with shameless rent seeking.

Then you hand control of the whole operation to the fucked up sociopath children you raised to be even worse than you with the profit you exploited without contributing anything meaningful to society.

Weā€™ve all gotten far too familiar with graphs that shoot up in alarming curves these days, but hereā€™s another fun one thatā€™s been in the making for decades.

That wasnā€™t an accident or crazy coincidence. That is the end result of an intentional marketing plan that kills tens of thousands every year just in the US, and is on track to soon clear 6 figures. It is a death toll built on lies and greed. It was predictable and expected The people responsible never lost any sleep over it, and theyā€™ve been able to keep almost all of the billions they put in their pockets from it.

It was all overseen by this guy, former CEO of Purdue Pharma, son of shitheel Raymond Sackler, and all 'round despicable fuck:

Richard Sackler, you are a monumentally horrible fuck and the world will be a markedly better place when you are no longer in it. You have the blood of hundreds of thousands of opioid overdoses on your hands. Itā€™s a god damn shame that youā€™re still with us and they arenā€™t.

@hokie youā€™re up.

Gdamn I felt that

Alex Jones?

I go to an occasional charity auction and I sometimes wonder how high the bid would go for a free shot at kicking him in the balls. Iā€™d go to at least $3000.

If four hours elapse, does that mean the next person can go? Even if itā€™s the middle of the night? Is that what sniping is?

Itā€™s weekend. And round 1 is the most important round. We want this to keep movingā€¦but now isnā€™t the time for sniping
