Can't make this (stuff) up

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I think you've had enough.

However, it did give me an idea for a Bud Light redneck zapper.

It looks like Wells Fargo messed up.

Committing fraud against millions of their own customers was acceptable so long as they were poor, middle class or only slightly rich. Fraudulently creating 3.5 million accounts to collect more fees. Fraudulently changing people's mortgages to collect more interest. Defrauding 800,000 car loan customers by changing terms without notification and then declaring them delinquent. It was only the little people, so while the courts would make some disapproving noises, any punishment would be insignificant.

Now news has broken that they were also dumb enough to steal from the very rich through their Wealth Management unit.

No details yet, but they're coming.

Saw this wisdom on Reddit:
Smoking one pack of cigarettes a day decreases chances of dying of old age.

Truth.

but it could be the fear of dying of old age

30 cops showed up because they were sure that it had to be a Playboy Bunny that was being sexually assaulted.

Comments:
Look how the Easter Bunny was dressed. Clearly asking for it
She just wanted to see if what they say about rabbits is true.
Does #metoo apply to the easter bunny?

People are sending Nikolas Cruz fan mail. A psychotherapist weighs in.

I swear, if the Vulcans ever thought about visiting this planet, they'd take a look at stuff like this and just keep going.

This is nothing new. I remember reporting on this sort of thing back in the '80s.

If they just wiped us out I'm not sure that I would blame them.

Wells Fargo is America's largest, most criminal bank, whose scandal-haunted recent history includes opening 2,000,000 fraudulent accounts and then blackballing whistleblower employees, prompting senate investigation; stealing houses from borrowers through widespread foreclosure fraud; stealing cars from 25,000 customers and defrauding 800,000 more with a criminal auto-loan racket; gouging small business owners on credit-card fees; and scamming millions of mortgage borrowers by signing them up for useless, expensive "home insurance" that they didn't request and couldn't use.

In India, monkey snatches baby, tosses (or drops) it down a well.

If it weren't such a sad story, I'd say, in a heavy Aussie accent, "maybe the monkey ate your baby..."
