It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

On Topic: Stop trying to disguise your identity Ted, the beard can't hide the majesty of the Zodiac Killer.

As much as people have said this, I don't really see it man. Also, we don't know what the Zodiac Killer actually looks like...So, maybe he DOES look exactly like Ted Cruz, or possibly even IS Ted Cruz!

 

[Recoil]

Ted's really coming into his own on this topic. I don't think I've ever seen him stand out positively like this.
Ted's been on one ever since he started rocking the beard.

The thing is, undocumented migrants are only illegal immigrants if they are residing in the actual territory of the United States. The entire Southwest region is actually territory of Spain so Ted Cruz is a Spaniard. Here is why.

In 1833, Spain lost its rightful monarch when Ferdinand VII died. He illegally violated Spain’s Salic Law without the approval of the Cortes when he named his daughter Isabella his heir so after his death his brother Carlos was the true heir to the Spanish throne which caused the Carlist Wars. That means that Spain’s recognition of the independence of its former colonies in 1836 was invalid because it wasn’t done by the rightful king of Spain. The Southwest region was part of New Spain.

So while I support deporting undocumented migrants living in Massachusetts, I oppose deporting those residing in Texas. I support a border wall but I think it is being built in the wrong location.

When you are the only person following the "legitimate" rule, it's irrelevant.

Shame he had to lean on the "think of the children" argument so damn hard, even if I get why it had to be done.

I'd still love to hear a politician just straight up say "What's so hard to understand? They're illegally entering the country and they're going right back," possibly followed by unveiling a spic-sized catapult. A man can dream, at least..

I am fucking sick and tired of "wwooooo think of the kids and moms".

Fuck you. I have my own kids and moms to take care of. They are causing problems on our borders themselves. Fuck off.

Andy Ngo's Lawyer Just Announced She Will Sue EVERYONE, Launches Legal Action Fund

Timcast covering Andy Ngo's lawyer announcing that Andy Ngo is going to sue fucking EVERYONE. Portland's Mayor apparently put out a Stand Down order, apparently in writing. Mayor's response is that the "alt right" people who believe in "free speech" were asking to be attacked.

They let Antifa riot. Antifa used chemical weapons (Quick Drying cement in the Milkshakes) and weapons -- metal pipes used as clubs.

GOP has started calling out Antifa and even some of the DNC candidates are calling them out, so the word has gotten out -- Antifa is too toxic now.

Oh god please, please! Seeing those fucking shit eating professors who just get away with physically assaulting people get fucking marched into court where they find their bullshit "But they're nazis your honor!" defense doesn't fly.

I also hope the public backlash is such that any antifas who have been revealed just get their asses kicked and shit thrown at them all day. Now maybe that gives you pause to say "Wait, doesn't that make you as bad as them?" And fair question, but no, because these assholes said "Assaulting people for wrong opinions is good", they've both consented to it and explicitly threatened anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Blue Bell looking for ice cream-licking prankster in sick viral video

Not cool. Ice cream maker Blue Bell says it’s looking into a now-viral video of a woman licking its ice cream at a grocery store and then placing the tainted tub back on the shelf. “This type…

Yup, not cool.

The top minds of Twidder doxxed her already, if you check the link in the article.

This is turning into fad with more people ruining tubs of icecream for brief bout of Net notoriety.

Time to start prosecuting them for literally every single health code violation and property damage and poisoning charge you can.

People will say "Oh it's not fair to punish little timmy youtubes for licking all that ice cream at the piggly wiggly" but fuck them and fuck timmy youtubes. Actions have consequences you little shits! Get off my damn lawn!

When you are the only person following the "legitimate" rule, it's irrelevant.

If you call the police and tell them someone is breaking what you believe to be the law and guys with guns don't show up and stop them from doing that, that is not "the law." That is just some shit you believe. It isn't real. How do you know it's real? There's nothing more real than a bunch of guys with guns and badges kicking your ass. That's how you know it's real.

Ted is Cuban/Canadian. Last time I checked the Cubans legitimately kicked Spain's ass all the way back to Granada and so did we, the United States of America. We got a few territories for our troubles and gave some their freedom. Come at us again.

 

[Splendid]

They are Spaniards because Mexico is only de facto independent, not de jure, because as I said its recognition of independence in 1836 wasn’t done by the rightful monarch.

Spain still has a king. Go ask him if Mexico is an independent sovereign nation or whatever other reasonable phrasing you want to use. I guarantee you that if you get anything more than a generic non-answer, he'll tell you that every single element of your claims is incorrect.

[tl;dr, van for website that lets attractive women pay for totally real and not fake taxi rides with T&A is abandoned near a cafe for nearly a month. If it's not picked up by the end of the 5th, it'll be seized by council, and auctioned off.]

'It's become a standing joke': Mysterious abandoned van with a PORN site emblazoned on its windows frustrates cafe owners

Mystery surrounds an abandoned van with a seedy logo emblazoned the rear windscreen across that has stopped traffic and become the talk among customers and staff at a busy cafe.

Sunshine Coast business owner Michael Denvir first noticed the unlocked Mercedes Benz Sprinter with a back door slightly ajar in an all-day parking bay outside his Sugar Road Express cafe in Maroochydore three weeks ago.

He reported the van to police several days later, who came out to inspect the vehicle and removed the number plates.

Several weeks on, the van has remained put.

But it's a large sticker emblazoned across the rear windscreen has sparked the most curiosity.

Mr Denvir told Daily Mail Australia he had no idea what the Fake Taxi branding stood for until he was told by staff and customers it referred to a pornography website.

'If it wasn't for the sticker, you and I wouldn't be talking about it right now,' he said.

'It's become a standing joke among everyone who comes in, from walking groups and tradies to white collar workers and lawyers. It's now become a permanent fixture.'

While Mr Denvir sees the funny side of the situation, he wants the van removed to free up parking, which is very limited.

'It hasn't impacted on the cafe, in fact business is better than ever,' he told Daily Mail Australia.

'We understand the police and council have bigger fish to fry. But we would like it it gone.'

A Sunshine Coast Council spokeswoman said it was notified about the van by Queensland Police on June 18.

Council parking officers attended the same day and issued a notice requiring the owner to remove the van by 4pm on Friday.

'If the owner does not move the vehicle at the required date and time, it will be impounded by council and held for one month while council attempts to contact the owner. If the vehicle is not collected it will be sold at auction,' she told Daily Mail Australia

'Impounded vehicles are held in a secure facility managed by council's contractor until they are collected by the owner or sold at auction.'

But Felipe VI is not the rightful king. This guy is the legitimate regent. He never officially said that he recognizes the independence of Latin American countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Sixtus_Henry_of_Bourbon-Parma

Remember that the war was caused when the fake news media lied that Spain was responsible for the destruction of the USS Maine. While the Spanish government ceded Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines to the US in the Treaty of Paris, the treaty wasn’t signed by the rightful Carlist heir to the Spanish throne. The US supporting revolution in Cuba led to further revolutionary ideology that led to Cuba becoming a communist shithole in 1958 which it still is today.

Didn't need a monarchy to recognize this independence, bitch!

Actually, the first nation to recognize the independence of the United States was the Kingdom of France.

You seem really obsessed with the whole monarchy business. I mean it's a pretty good government to go with in Civ 3 and 4, but other than that it's garbage. A bunch of incest babies that acted as figureheads for the people actually in charge, why should we care, sir?
