Official Fucking Asshole of the Week Thread

[Doctor X]

I am surprised we do not have this given [You.--Ed.] SHUT UP! so many fine candidates not named Pyrrho. Notice, I do not use Cunt since, to me, that is a very specific level of assholery.

All Cunts are Assholes but not all Assholes are Cunts: a cogent observation which, for some reason, ended my ambitions to pursue a career in gynecology and gastrointestinology in Southern California hotels.

Why "Fucking?"

Ask Your Mom! That comes from the Asshole Categories explained by Me Dad years ago--Japanese originally expurgated to prevent language in schools that would mandate a "parent-teacher conference." To whit:

• 1. Asshole: "You don't like him. He doesn't like you. You won't have a beer with him. But you can work with him."
  
  2. Roaring Asshole: "Actually prevents you from getting work done! You have to get others to do his work."
  
  3. Complete Fucking Asshole: "Must be removed! At all costs! For our Freedoms! :freedom: "

Never did understand how Me Dad could so eloquently vocalize a gif years before its invention. But then he had horrific taste in music.

So, I offer someone who has been an Asshole, indeed, a Fucking Asshole for decades. "Nasty Nastase!" As a Wee Spud, I recall a cartoon claiming he gave the finger to judges, because he thought it was rude to gesture with the finger he uses to pick his nose. Well, for the last few days, he has exceeded his even Older Than Many of Us History of Assholery and, frankly, I thought someone would have posted on it. But no one has! I blame sparks and Boss Paul:

Since I remain a RIVER to My People:

Ilie Nastase: Fucking Asshole of the Week[Patent pending.--Ed.] Romania's Fed Cup captain to quit game if punished by ITF

Ilie Nastase will quit tennis if he is banned over derogatory comments he made about Serena Williams' unborn child.

Williams accused Nastase of racism after he was overheard asking if the child would be "chocolate with milk". Just that makes him an Asshole, but to move beyond "Roaring" to "Fucking" he, of course, continues speaking.

Nastase http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u264 ... 8a4500.gif apologised in a Facebook post on Friday, but later told BBC Sport: "For me it's not racial. Somebody in England thinks it is." Wrap your collective minds around that. But THERE IS MORE! NOW HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY? :hyper:
. . .
"English people considered it was racist and everybody picked it up like that," he said of his remarks about Williams.

Yes . . . it is the English people's fault. Serena is not actually English, she is American Freedom but let us not tax the intelligence of a Fucking Asshole.

"Romanians don't think it was a racial word. The only person who can get upset maybe is Serena, but not you people in England. Why does everybody else get upset? I don't understand. Whatever." Quod erat fucking demonstrandam.

["Snip!"--Ed.]

After Konta and Britain's captain Anne Keothavong had complained of calling-out from the crowd in the World Group II play-off tie in Constanta, Nastase was involved in a discussion with officials in which he used foul and abusive language. See? He is an Asshole to British Women! How is that racist?

He then called both Konta and Keothavong "a bitch" multiple times, as well as swearing at them.

Before play had even started, Nastase insulted a British journalist over their reporting of his comments about world number one Wiliams, calling the Press Association's tennis correspondent "stupid".

He also put his arm tightly around Keothavong and asked for her room number, in earshot of the watching media.

This is Anne Keothavong:

https://melaniestrong.files.wordpress.c ... vong-1.jpg

notice a "pattern?"

On Friday in an interview with the BBC, he justified his behaviour by claiming he abused Konta and Keothavong as a member of the crowd - that he was no longer acting as captain, having been sent off.

"Let's start with the umpire because I asked what's his problem and he said to me: 'If you don't sit down, I'm going to throw you out of the game,'" Nastase said.

"I sit in the front row and the guy came and said: 'You have to leave the stadium.' Then I start to scream at Konta and the other girl. That's what I did. Well, of course one logically follows the other! Why am I making this thread? Let me go off and search for NBLs and Pats Porn.

Consider it an http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u264 ... 056df5.gif to combat the Fucking Assholery which is going to get worse!

"I was not on the court, I have to remind you that. Well . . . fuck me then. I was thrown out of the game. I said that from the crowd. I wasn't on the court, there is a difference. I'm not anymore the coach of the team. Seriously. I am not making this up.

"I was upset when they throw me out of the court. Then when he said to leave the stadium also then I was upset because the girls they said they didn't want me in the stands anymore. So then I scream at her and the coach." I mean, why are they on the court when they SHOULD BE IN THE KITCHEN!

https://i.makeagif.com/media/4-18-2014/XLairk.gif

On Sunday, former US Open finalist Pam Shriver claimed Nastase - a former world number one - also made inappropriate comments to her when she was a teenage star of the women's tour.

Shriver, now 54, said Nastase repeatedly asked her if she was a virgin.

"Whenever I saw him at any tournament he would ask me the same question," she told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek.

"This man has not been respectful of women for a long, long time."

When asked about Shriver's remarks on Friday, Nastase said: "You're going to go back again another 20, 25 years ago?

Now . . . what follows is so Epic FAIL, my Face-Boobs, Face-Desk, Face-Wall, and "Tinkerbell and the Bikers" [Still available on Betamax!--Ed.] memes symbols cannot encapsulate the level:

Spoiler:

"I was so good in England that I have a statute at Madame Tussauds. Are they going to destroy it and throw it out?"

Spoiler:

"Because of this situation are you going to wipe everything? I mean it's ridiculous what you think. Are you going to judge me what happened today with what happened years ago?

"People can like me, people can hate me. It's the same thing when you play a tennis match."

Karl Oliver: Fucking Asshole

Rep. Karl Oliver: Those removing Confederate monuments ‘should be lynched’

Wrap your minds around that! Should those who remove Nazi paraphernalia be gassed?

BY KATE ROYALS
A state representative from Winona who urged in a weekend Facebook post that those who support the removal of Confederate monuments be lynched has apologized. Well, that is all settled then! Let me discuss why the critical mistake of the Atlanta Falcons was[Stop it!--Ed.]

Rep. Karl Oliver, R-Winona, wrote: “The destruction of these monuments, erected in the loving memory of our family and fellow Southern Americans, who killed to preserve slavery is both heinous and horrific. If the, and I use this term extremely loosely, “leadership” of Louisiana wishes to, in a Nazi-ish fashion, burn books or destroy historical monuments of OUR HISTORY of fighting to keep the black man in "his place", they should be LYNCHED! Let it be known, I will do all in my power to prevent this from happening in our State.”

Oliver emailed a statement late Monday morning saying “I deeply regret that i [Sic--Ed.] chose this word.” However the Facebook post had not been deleted at the time of his apology.

House Speaker Philip Gunn condemned Oliver’s post in an emailed statement Monday morning. The comments “do not reflect the views of the Republican Party, the leadership of the House of Representatives or the House as a whole,” Gunn said.

“Using the word ‘lynched’ is inappropriate and offensive,” Gunn continued. “We call on Rep. Oliver to apologize.” Why not censure?

["Snip!"--Ed.]

Messages left for Oliver, who is a funeral director, at his workplace and on his cell phone were not immediately returned.

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu first publicly called for the removal of four of the city’s Confederate monuments in June 2015.

In effect, Oliver is calling in his Facebook post for the mayor of New Orleans to be lynched. Oliver represents the community of Money, where 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched 62 years ago. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u264 ... 88b798.gif

Gunn’s statement Monday morning was among the first public reaction from state Republican leaders. Gunn has previously called for replacing the state flag, which displays the Confederate battle emblem. Okay . . . but:

Two state representatives, John Read, R-Gautier, and Doug McLeod, R-Lucedale, liked the Facebook post.

“Like all members of the House, Representative Oliver reserves the right to voice his opinion on any matter he chooses,” said a statement sent on behalf of the House of Representatives. “However, that opinion does not necessarily reflect that of his fellow legislators.”

An Oklahoma man was fatally shot by a neighbor Friday as he tried to drown his infant twins in a bathtub, according to authorities.

Leland Fucking Asshole Foster, 27, showed up at a house where the babies’ mother, Michelle Forrells, was staying and allegedly forced her and the infants into a bathroom, according to police, NBC reported. Foster held Forrells at knifepoint and tried to drown the twins, authorities said.

During the incident, a 12-year-old girl living in the home ran to neighbor Cash Freeman’s house for help, KFOR-TV reported.

Freeman grabbed his gun and ran to the house, where he saw Foster, the babies' father, trying to kill them, Lisa Bratcher, a spokeswoman for Ada police told NBC. Freeman shot Foster twice in the back. Not noted in this report but otherwise noted all over Al Gore's Interw3bz, Fucking Asshole had convictions for domestic violence, Heavens to Betsy.

The babies were taken to the hospital and released, according to NBC.

California Security Guard Becomes Instagram Hit, Calls for ‘No Bullying’ After VidCon Incident

LOS ANGELES — A California security guard has become a social media star after a video that showed him staying calm while being berated with insults on Thursday went viral.

The incident happened at VidCon, an annual convention for YouTube fans and content creators, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center from June 21-24, 2017. In the video, first uploaded to YouTube on June 22 and later posted to Twitter by VidCon attendee John Hill with subtitles, Joseph Hernandez, a security guard, is seen in his yellow and black uniform standing guard at a door following a physical altercation between some attendees and security.

In the video, Hernandez and his colleague Sergio Castillo ask the crowd to stand back just as a young man identified later as Christian Burns begins asking Hernandez, "What is wrong with you people?"

Burns, who has been referred to as an "Instagram model," continued, "I'm famous, and you're not, so you listen..."

Hernandez responded, "That doesn't make you any better than me."

Burns' confrontation continues for another minute as he insults Hernandez, shouting, "You're blue collar as f*ck," and "You should kill yourself."

NBC News has reached out to Hernandez about the incident.

On Saturday, travel vlogger Louis Cole found Hernandez at the convention center and apologized to Hernandez on behalf of the YouTube community. Cole also tweeted a video of him with Hernandez and asked his 877K+ Twitter followers to help spread the word to get Hernandez' Instagram account 100K followers — a response to Burns' comments that he was more famous than Hernandez.

As for Burns, the Very Important Instagram Model, he has deleted his Instagram account. :)

On the Tuesday after Labor Day, she drove to the house again and found a note taped to the door: “In case of emergency, contact guardian April Parks.” Belshe dialled the number. Parks, who had a brisk, girlish way of speaking, told Belshe that her parents had been taken to Lakeview Terrace, an assisted-living facility in Boulder City, nine miles from the Arizona border. She assured Belshe that the staff there would take care of all their needs.

“You can’t just walk into somebody’s home and take them!” Belshe told her.

Parks responded calmly, “It’s legal. It’s legal.”

It gets much worse. However...

In May, 2015, a month after the article appeared, when the Norths went to court to discuss their finances local journalists were in the courtroom and Norheim seemed chastened. “I have grave concerns about this case,” he said. He noted that Parks had sold the Norths’ belongings without proper approval from his court. Parks had been doing this routinely for years, and, according to her, the court had always accepted her accounting and her fees. Her lawyer, Aileen Cohen, said, “Everything was done for the wards’ benefit, to support the wards.”
Norheim announced that he was suspending Parks as the Norths’ guardian—the first time she had been removed from a case for misconduct.
“This is important,” Rudy, who was wearing a double-breasted suit, said in court. “This is hope. I am coming here and I have hope.” He quoted the Bible, Thomas Jefferson, and Euripides, until Belshe finally touched his elbow and said, “Just sit down, Dad.”

I'm sure you'll find parts of that article that will make you also want to puke.

[gnome]

Holy fuck.

[Anaxagoras]

Now I'm terrified of getting old. Is this just a Nevada thing?

Parks drove a Pontiac G-6 convertible with a license plate that read “crtgrdn,” for “court guardian.” In the past twelve years, she had been a guardian for some four hundred wards of the court. Owing to age or disability, they had been deemed incompetent, a legal term that describes those who are unable to make reasoned choices about their lives or their property. As their guardian, Parks had the authority to manage their assets, and to choose where they lived, whom they associated with, and what medical treatment they received. They lost nearly all their civil rights.

At a hearing, when Amy complained to Norheim that Parks didn’t have time for her father, he replied, “Yeah, she’s an industry at this point.”

I get the impression some of the worst of what she did was completely legal and would not have ever had consequences had she not stepped far enough out of line to be caught on something actually illegal.

The person rubber stamping her behavior with a judge's authority was not a judge. Medical evidence was coming from PAs that were not MDs. So no professional licenses in jeapordy.

I know that voters often rubber-stamp judges just because they never heard of the fucking guy and figure why not?
It seems plausible that a well known public scandal with a judge directly involved could get them enough attention to be at risk of their office.

But, if its just some staffer given too much authority--sure you can go and picket the judge that supervised him, but it doesn't make such a snappy appeal to voters... Hey, don't vote for Judge McSnerpy, because one of his staff was blah blah blah blah should have known zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Cops: Brockton mom killed kids in `voodoo’ ritual
Laurel J. Sweet, Brian Dowling Tuesday, February 06, 2018

A Brockton mother of five fatally stabbed her 8-year-old son 50 times with a kitchen knife as part of a “voodoo” ritual, then went after his little brother when she thought she had “failed” with the older child, authorities said.

“It came out ‘wrong’ with the first one and for that reason she had to move on to the second child,” assistant Plymouth District Attorney Jessica Kenny said of Latarsha L. Sanders, now held without bail for the murders of her two youngest children.

http://www.bostonherald.com/sites/defau ... k=Vc_qEVYD

Kenny told Brockton District Court Judge Paula J. Clifford today the bodies of Edson “Marlon” Brito, 8, and Lason Brito, 5, were found in beds in separate rooms in the family’s third-floor apartment on Prospect Street yesterday after their mother asked a neighbor to call her an ambulance for herself and the neighbor informed police there were children in the home who would need to be cared for.

Lason was under a blanket, his neck bandaged and face slashed, court documents state.

Edson’s head and torso were covered with sheets, but his legs exposed. Kenny said a preliminary autopsy performed this morning revealed he’d been stabbed 50 times in the neck. chest and torso.

Kenny said Sanders has admitted to stabbing Edson first in the kitchen. She could not recall how many times she stabbed Lason, Kenny said.

“She said she had stabbed him because she had ‘failed’ in the ritual with Marlon (Edson),” Kenny said.

["Snip!"--Ed.]

Sanders told police she attacked Edson “because of the voodoo stuff,” according to a report on her interview at Good Samaritan Hospital after waiving her Miranda rights.

You probably know this already, but there's is a lot of f'ed up World War II historical revision floating around Japan. I think the lack of Japanese speaking western journalists keeps most of it from ever getting reported in the western press.

They actively prevent Japanese historians from discussing it.

Somewhere there is a documentary where a Japanese educator asks students basic questions about WII. The responses sound like a meeting of Holocaust Deniers. All the way to Koreans "making up" comfort women simply to embarrass Japan.

It's not anywhere near the worst of the historical revisionism, but one I hear a lot is that "Pearl Harbor was never meant to be a 'sneak attack.' Japan would never intentionally do something so dishonorable. It was just that the Japanese embassy in Washington messed up the declaration of war [conveniently just long enough for the planese to arrive, of course]." This is usually followed by some version of "But anyway, the atomic bombings were way, way worse. Japan was forced to fight [invading a good chunk of Asia]. We're the victims, blah, blah, blah."

I've seen more than one textbook that basically sums up World War II as "The Pacific War began. Then America used atomic bombs against us."
