If it’s true - and it increasingly looks like it is - then I’m really glad that people get all worked up about the prez being a fucking pedo.

But I’m utterly dismayed that they aren’t at least ten times more worked up that he’s a fucking Nazi actively trying to destroy the republic and install himself as a dictator.

People have a strange set of priorities…

Cars make people lose 20 IQ points the minute they step inside.

My theory is that cars, being uniquely private spaces moving on public roads, become bubbles of highly territorial spaces that people feel compelled to defend in what they perceived to be a “not-theirs”, adversarial environment. And when people feel the need to defend their own shit, they become aggressive.

That’s one of the minor reasons why I quit driving: even I, an utterly placid man who really, REALLY doesn’t care about his car all that much, feel slightly more agitated and more on the defensive when I hit the road. I don’t like the feeling of becoming more aggressive and stupid.

Even if it’s “papered”, a deal with Trump is worth as much as Trump’s willingness to respect his own commitments. And his record isn’t stellar.

Anyway, like everything else, Trump didn’t want a deal: he wanted something to announce to distract from the Epstein files.

It’s quite staggering to see the US regressing from putting a man on the moon to medicine with leeches in 50 years. What a sad, sad country.

If history is any indication, unfortunately this will happen 10 years from now after the country is utterly ruined.

I hate to be that guy, but I will point out that “man” in English can mean both a male human and humankind in general.

As in “Man is a wolf to man”: women too can be wolves and victims alike.

Or “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”: womankind is definitely included here.

Call it sexist. I even agree that it is. But the fact remains that, for historical and outdated patriarcal reasons, “man” in the English language, like in many others, does bear that meaning.

As for “man” being in “necromancer”, I reckon it’s like “fun” being in “fungi”: you’re not interpreting it right 🙂

He’s going to give Maxwell a pardon

I highly doubt that: the way this whole affair is now framed, it would be a screaming admission of guilt.

That’s the amusing twist with Ghislaine Maxwell: Trump is dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn’t.

If I was her, I’d string Trump along, promising to absolve him of any wrongdoing publicly in front of a camera, then tell the real truth and blow up his presidency, to gun for a pardon from the next administration.

At the very least, she’d get some sympathy points from the general public. Because she sure ain’t gonna get nothing from Trump himself.

This would have been disqualifying for any public official not so long ago. Now politicos lie, flip-flop and grift freely and openly, and it’s just a fact of life. Like it was normal or something…

Trump is clutching at straws and will throw any amount of chaff to try to deflect the Epstein missile closing in on him.

I say Trump and not they, because Gabbard is just a puppet here, like all of Trump’s nominees. And of curse Trump himself is just a puppet of the Heritage Foundation…

This list is suggestive. Stop telling yourself it’s a few bad apples. Stop telling yourself “there are pedophiles in every large enough organization.” There are not this many pedophiles in every political party. Both sides are not the same. When Slate went looking for an equivalent list of Democratic pedophiles, they were able to come up with: a random donor, the head of a local Young Democrats, and Anthony Weiner’s sexts. Not a speaker of the House, a Chief Justice, and a President.

The article suggests pedos are natural-born conservatives - or vice-versa. My theory is that there are probably as many pedos in the Democratic party, but they’re smart enough not to get caught.

Concentration camps were for prolonged confinement

That is not what defines concentration camps.

Concentration camps, or internment camps, are prisons where people who are arbitrarily targeted by the regime are detained - more often than not in inhumane conditions - without due process. It doesn’t matter if it’s for 5 minutes or 5 years.

Most Nazi concentration camps were transit camps, designed to, well concentrate people in increasingly high numbers. And in a lot of “final” camps, people got in and were sent off to the gas chambers within hours of arriving there.

Jesus, I didn’t ever think that would be something I would say.

Me neither: I knew the US’ fascist tendencies would some day explode into full-blown Nazi shit, but I’m old enough that I thought I’d be blessed to be dead before it happened.

What if they wore bags over their heads, so none of their features are visible?

If you thought concentration camps only looked like Auschwitz, Gitmo, CECOT or Alligator Alcatraz, sometimes they also happen inside buildings. France for example had one in an appartment complex in Paris. The Trump regime isn’t really innovating here.

Secret Prisons in Mali

Don’t give Kristi Noem ideas…

Sure looks like a genocide to me…

I made it almost to retirement age without a credit score. But I freely admit it’s probably a luxury that isn’t afforded to younger folks.

Elon Musk’s X on Monday denied allegations made by French authorities as part of a criminal investigation into alleged data tampering, adding that it would not submit to the prosecutor’s demand to hand over data.

Okay fine, have it your way and get banned from operating in France. And nothing of value will be lost to France: any country where this fascist-adjacent cesspool is banned is a better place.

Is it in the game vendors’ interest to do that? No. And they have more money than the gamers.

So… Cute petition, but sadly you can be absolutely certain it ain’t going nowhere.

Quick Donald! Send the army and national guard to bring the crazy lunatic democrat under control!
