“I felsh powaful!” Nancy proclaimed through her lisp and frozen facial muscles and useless mask.
“Like the homeland of all humanity is behind me,” Chuck said. He smoothed the kente cloth scarf over his lapels, lingering over his breasts for a long moment.
“Asifran-Amerikans can sheep safe knowing thtsh we are wearing this scarfs,” Nancy said, preening before a floor-length mirror in her office.
“Black,” Chuck said. “You’re supposed to call them ‘Black,” now. With a capital ‘B.’” He reached into his shirt and pinched his right nipple until it expressed a drop of yellow milk shot through with veins of blood. He licked his finger and moaned.
“Fhulking again?” Nancy asked. She took off the spit-soaked mask she was wearing, shook out the tooth fragments onto the carpet, and threw it away.
“I don’t care what they want to be called as long as they vote for me,” Chuck said. He walked up behind her and began to roughly knead the tumorous meat of her breasts.
“Donts, Huck,” she slurred. “We has too mulch to douche.” She settled a new mask onto her lower face.
“Just a quickie, baby,” he said, his hot garbage breath flowing into her deafest ear.
“Huck,” she said thickly.
“I think about the bandits in your dusty arroyo all day,” he said, rubbing her scabby labia through three layers of Spanx.
“Nos, Huck. We hash to be all bizniss todey!” she said, twisted away from him with a cry of thwarted passion.
“Nancy,” he whined.
“No,” she said, puffing out her mask, enunciating carefully. “Black votes matter!”
“Fine,” Chuck said pouting. “Are you ready? Do you know your lines?”
Nancy tried to glare at him, but those muscles had been stretched back behind her ears during her third to the last facelift and estrogen dunk tank.
Chuck opened the door, let Nancy go out first into the photoshoot. Nancy struck the Superman and Chuck went with I’ll show you my gun, my Uzi weighs a ton because I’m Public Enemy number one Chuck D, but it was really just a Salt n’ Pepa.
“Senator, Senator,” the press wailed. “Speaker, Speaker.” Chuck and Nancy both peed a little from the attention until Chuck held up his arms for silence. An expectant hush fell over the tame news creatures.
“I hear the drums echoing tonight,” Chuck intoned. “But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation.”
“Shesh coming in, twelf-dirty fight,” Nancy took up. “The moonliteh wings reflect the shars that guide me tow-ard salvashun.”
“Senator, Ms. Speaker, would you like to address to police reform bill?” a desperate reporter asked.
“I stopped an old man along the way,” Chuck sang-said gravely. “Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies. He turned to me as if to say, ‘Hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you.’”
The Congression Old Caucus spread out and dropped to one knee and all sang together:
It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

“I BLESS THE RAINS!” Kamala squawked in her carefully practiced AAVE.
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
They all raised their hands, shaking with palsy and drink, panting, sweating, artificial knees crying out.
“Ooh, ooh,” they sang. “Ooh, ooh.”
As the off-key singing finished echoing off the marble, a NPR reporter felt to his knees, stretched out on the floor in supplication, and screamed, “I BLESS THE RAINS!” His cameraman kicked him right in the butthole and wandered away.
“Black votes matter!”
Pretty well sums it up.
Well, white and Asian guilt-votes, anyway, judging by the district she represents.

This is why I read SF while on the toilet.

You have to be quick on your feet.

One benefit to the riots, we’re not going to hear about covid spikes for at least another month.

President Trump will hit the campaign trail this month — despite the deadly coronavirus pandemic, which continues to impact the lives and livelihoods of households across the country.
“The rallies will be tremendous,” a campaign manager said.
The “coronavirus pandemic” is not continuing to “impact the lives and livelihoods of households across the country”.
The government is doing that.
An often unreported effect of the Coronavirus is for people in positions of power to go mad with tyrannical urges.
Nah. They’re going to find every state with a team red governor and cover it as a hotapot.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/arizonas-covid-19-spread-is-alarming-and-action-is-needed-experts-warn/ar-BB15ilr2?li=BBnb7Kz
Just like they did with South Dakota.
That was as blatant as blatant can be.
I concede there really is a spike in cases but they seem to be overlooking a few things. Growing up in AZ I’ve noticed a few things that happen here during the summer:
– It gets really hot outside.
– People stay indoors when its really hot outside.
This spreads most easily indoors, where most people here are inevitably going to be. Whooping cough for example happens with a fair degree of frequency here during the summer. Deaths on the other hand, are following a very defined bell curve.
Numerous ALOLs.
Yeah…that whole kneeling thing was almost as cringe inducing theater as Adam Schiff marching the impeachment from the house to the senate.
Seriously, who votes for these phony fucks?
The American Public?
” who votes for these phony fucks?”
Serious people who don’t like to have it pointed out that they haven’t put any thought into their positions.
So, they are kneeling in protest against the systemic racism in cities that have been run exclusively by Democrats for half a century?
Did I get that right?
Chuck Schumer cheered, not kneeled, when law enforcement slaughtered the Branch Davidians.

Wow. It’s a woke Metallica cover.
I should have said “woke Diamond Head cover.”
I only feel contempt for him because he seeks to rule over us.
Like watching a dog chasing it’s tail.
A quick scan of the comments tells me that most people dont buy this horseshit and Trump is going to be re-elected. This is just more ‘half of the country are what I call the basket of deplorables’.
Gah… He’s quoting the Ibram Kendi bullshit. That SOB cloaks his collective guilt accusations in a veil of niceties. It’s purely to get people to acquiesce to every demand.
Yep. Fuck Ihbram Kendi.
Is he the “sun people” vs “ice people” guy?
No, I forget who that was but it’s someone much older – I remember reading that sun/ice horseshit in the ’90s. Kendi is in his 30s.
So…. I need some edjumicating on the collective guilt thing. If our society is racist, isn’t it everyone’s fault then? How are we deciding that only some people are in the guilty collective and others are clean?
White people can cleanse their sins by voting Democrat.
Progressvism is not an ideology, it’s a religion. It’s got gods, devils, saints, martyrs, dogma, clerics.
Yeah, vote for the party that has had exclusive control of the cities oppressed by systemic racism for half a century.
Excessive virtue signaling cleanses your innate racism.
It’s original sin and impossible to cleanse yourself. The purpose of virtue signaling is either to shame someone else into joining your charade or begging someone more virtuous not to harm you.
This.
There is no redemption. You must continue to self-criticize forever, even for the sins of your ancestors. It’s a sick religion/cult.
This is cultist brainwashing in action.
These people do not believe in individual moral choice or responsibility in any way, shape, or form.

Like many liberal white Americans — indeed, many Americans period — I’m reconsidering things. Am I racist, do I not get it as a privileged white guy?

Since he seems to see everyone based on the color of their skin, I think I have an answer for him.

Here’s hoping Trump goes with a pipe-hitting campaign, because I want the people bending the knee to cultists to be mocked and humiliated in the loudest, most public way possible. And he’s just the guy to do it.
Its appalling that 50% of the country will vote to put people like that in power.
Well, 50% of the voters anyway.

Hey Queen Elizabeth – your great-great-grandmother just got called a slag and her memorial vandalized. Are you going to let people like Khan and his BLM buddies destroy your family’s heritage?
I will enjoy watching this part.
Queen V ascended to the throne After britain had outlawed Slavery and had been warring on the slave trade for decades.
History eludes these people.
They are trying to re-write history.
“In Soviet Union we do not worry about the future. We know what the future is. It is the past that is always changing.” – old soviet joke.
“!!!educate”
They do not know how to nuance, bro. And they know little of history either way.
From a practical/functional standpoint, no single organization did more to actually stop the slave trade across the world than the Royal Navy. Not that the wokerati care.
In the mid-1800’s they fought real land and sea battles to stop the flow of African slaves into the Middle East where their forms of slavery were far worse than anything in the New World (notice no African people there?).
But they are white, so they must suck.
Not to mention the American abolitionists who risked and often gave their lives to rescue slaves and spread anti-slavery ideology in the South.
“That ‘annus horribilis’ wasn’t so bad now, was it?”

Are you going to let people like Khan and his BLM buddies destroy your family’s heritage?
Sadly, she probably will.
Her kids are beating them to it.
I know their goal is to draw the various countries into a conflict; is there really anything so wrong with giving them their wish and just extrajudicially killing them?
/rhetorical, don’t NAP me
I wonder how long it is until a lot of people start wondering precisely that.
I don’t think this goes the way they think. As bizarre as it’s going to sound, I think Trump and the Republicans are one of the few things keeping them safe. I’ve heard a good many people here saying the reason we don’t descend into a civil war is that too many people have too much to lose. But, these sociopaths really do want to take everything away. And if enough people come to the conclusion that that is a possibility, that “too much to lose” could become a powder keg blowing up in their faces that I don’t think they can imagine.
^^^
Here’s the thing I wonder. Do they think for a minute that things like this change a living soul’s heart or mind? I mean I think if I were John Bull. I might be inclined to think black people got a raw deal. But after something like this, do you think I’m really going to care? Or am I going to think “Sod these bastards!”.
All this shit going on in England is a rather big tell that this is all about Communist agitation rather than police brutality and racism in the US. The fuck does Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill have to do with George Floyd?
Yeap.
I saw Goodell’s “mea maxima culpa”, the other day. It was just like watching an American pilot confessing his war crimes live from the Hanoi Hilton, back in 1970. I was waiting for the SOS eyeblink.

Nope.

For my personal sanity I don’t look at a lot of US media. But reading through this episode – I had to check to find out if the kneeling bit was somehow photoshopped. I mean, come on – how much theater are they going to cram into this news cycle.
I was somewhat relieved to know that they weren’t actually singing Toto’s “Africa” while doing it – but that wouldn’t have surprised me too much either.
It gets even better.
Dammit. I didn’t even see that.
I enjoyed the reply from the guy who actually gave a knee for his country.
Thanks – that was rich.
I can only imagine what the 780 millions actual Africans think about all this. For the average white liberal (D) voter who this was produced for those “Africans” are like some fictional group of people made up for some TV show they watch.

I was just noticing it the other day. Scary to get that close to the mind of SF.
The “Person-of-Color” thing is over? Too close to “colored” which was bad for reasons?
Well, it’s too inclusive of other groups that would then need to be cut in to the spoils.
The POC designation erased the lived experience (and imagined experience, as well) of black people.
There will be only further subdivisions of the collectives until intersectional utopia is reached.
Many have moved to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) because, you know, fuck those Hispanics and Asians and other Indians and Arabs and Persians.
BIHAoIAPPOC
Hey now. I’m pretty sure Arabs and Persians are white.
That just rolls off the tongue.
I would have thought BIPOCs were melanin-advantaged people with very active social lives, IYKWIMAITYD,
Not Unipoc?
What underlies that is the assumption that being non-white makes one inferior, therefore you are not supposed to acknowledge that someone is non-white.
They keep swapping out words in an attempt to take the perceived sting out of the last one they used. I guess they have gone full circle now…we are back to black. In a year it will be negro again.
I predict next will be Blackrican-American.
That made me laugh
OT question Mr. Dean. The usual sites this morning were aflutter about AZ and the terrible disease that impacts everyone unless you are at a protest.
Hype or any kind of real truth?
ICU use and hospitalization is up, but we still have capacity. The new volume from rural areas, to be expected as the disease moves out from the cities to the sticks. A big slug of cases is coming from the Navajo rez, probably because they are shot through with comorbities, and many live in what amount to trailer parks with big families – kinda like what happened in Italy, only fatter and browner.
The rural hospitals generally don’t have ICUs, so they all get transferred to the city hospitals. The hospitals are all playing a game with each other to try to dump patients.
But no, there is no crisis, or, as far as I know, any “second wave” in a community that already had a first wave.
Thanks!
From the comments above it looks like a way to beat on states that opened by the media.

There are subtitles if you turn them on. I didn’t have them on at first and flipped them on to make sure I understood what she said as I was quite surprised how well she speaks. I thought she had a slightly odd accent, but nothing more than that.
I can only dream….
She still makes many mistakes with Japanese, so go easy on her. *lol*
I’ve gone the other way, listening to Japanese speakers in Taiwan with very good (well, to my ears) Mandarin and switching between that and Japanese without apparent effort.
Almost forgot Asuka’s YouTube channel. So bizarre to watch her mannerisms and realize she’s a WWE wrestler.
https://youtu.be/DmtcMAtZ0NY
Well she’s only been there 5 years after all…
Oddly I’ve have some native Chinese speakers in my classes and found their accent quite pronounced. It took me a minute or so to understand them. After I recognized how the Japanese sounded with their accent I had no issues however. But the accent was quite distinct.
I’m not quite there yet. I can sort of hear differences but can’t easily id them.
Wow, that girl is pretty. She looks like a real-life anime princess with those big eyes.
Mike forgot to include 30’s and probably 40’s. I have been pointing out for over ten years that if you look at the personal blogs of lefties…especially the feminists…they all admit to being on psychotropic medication or having some emotional/personality disturbance.
I am not sure who decided that adds to their credibility.
Everyone needs to feel unique.
At some point in HS I was reading a Mark Twain essay and came across “Cemeteries are filled with indispensable men”
That made one hell of an impression on me, especially considering that at that age most humans are preening and profiling like mad and use the word ‘I’ in nearly every sentence.
Please dont point out that I used both I and me in this two sentence comment….dammit! I did it again.
Um…not just lefties.
It’s not just teens and twenties people.

Razorfist made my dick hard with this one. Also perfectly summarizes why we need a Trump victory in 2020.
We need a trump victory like we need a bullet in the head.
What we need is for someone to hit the Keyboard Interrupt on the simulation.
Mr. Lizard and his ilk seem content to let this one play out, so I’ll settle for the next best thing.
If Trump loses, there’s no one with the balls to stand-up to the commie mobs and rat fucks in power who have spent the last 4 years trying to destroy him. They’ll feel vindicated.
If Trump loses, there’s no one with the balls to stand-up to the commie mobs and rat fucks in power who have spent the last 4 years trying to destroy him.
Maybe. But the commie mobs and rat fucks had better pray to their personal God that there isn’t. Because as freakish, crude and inappropriate as Donald Trump might be, he’s still someone constrained by our underlying social norms. He’s still someone willing to work within the confines of the constitutional system. And his followers are on board with that. You get rid of Trump and start going full-tilt boogie on their agenda, I’m not so sure that Trump’s supporters just turn around and say “Oh, well, nevermind. I fully accept your hatred of me and attempts to make my life miserable.”. I think maybe you wind up with a real sonofabitch.
This is what I fear is in our future. I actually don’t think Trump will win this year (it’ll be close, but one of the key states will flop over, and it will result in Biden) and both houses of Congress will end up Dem. They’ll go full tilt into their remaking of America into their perfect, progressive image. 2022 will see a much less polite Tea Party type uprising, and 2024 will make 2022 look boring.
I hope I’m wrong on this one…
I hope so too, but I am afraid the odds are no better than 50:50. I hear a constant refrain of Trump is going to win in a landslide and it all seems based on “I really hate the things the libs have been doing therefore everyone else does too” Newsflash, the lockdown was popular, more popular than anything since we declared the war on terror (which we also hated). Dewine had an 80 % approval rating when he shuttered Ohio. There aren’t going to be landslides, there are going to be close elections decided in 5-6 swing States and those are by definition evenly balanced.
I don’t believe any polls. They’re all bullshit.
Sure, polls are bullshit. So are opinions based on projecting your own views onto the electorate. As I said 50:50. Look at it this way. California is not going red anytime soon if ever and Alabama is not going blue. You put those States at the edges and work inward and you end up with around 150 completely safe electoral votes on each side with a slight edge to the blue team. The 238 in the middle are somewhat up for grabs but another 50-75 on each side are strong leans toward that side (somewhere between 60% likely to go that way and 75%) the last 100-125 electoral votes are where we decide the presidency these days, with Florida being the big dog in that group. Florida leans Red, except that it has a deep blue section that sometimes wags the dog, and which is notorious for vote fraud.
States that used to be in the middle have shifted, mostly toward the blue side (Va. and Co. are the most notorious examples as they have shifted all the way). The Red path to victory runs through the south and the mountan west. With Colorado and Virginia going blue and North Carolina and Nevada going into the pick em category Republicans have lost their advantage in Presidential elections. It used to be that Team D had the edge in congressional elections because of better machines and urban weighting while Team R had an edge in Presidential elections because of the rural weighting created by the EC. That is less true now.
I don’t know how making a prediction rises to the level of projection as if I am my opinion means anything or I can influence anybody or even if I WANT to influence anyone.
I am making a prediction based on what I see and hear in my IRL sphere.
I can throw a dart as well as anyone else.
All I am saying is either you look at polls flawed as they are or you project your views (or even those of your sphere “Nobody I know voted for Nixon”) out there and guess based on that, and while polls are flawed they do contain information which projecting based on your views does not.
Dewine had an 80 % approval rating when he shuttered Ohio
The lockdowns were popular when implemented, when we were told it was just for a few weeks, etc.
I believe they became a whole lot less popular over time. But I also suspect that, in the public mind, they are mostly distant memory, what with the Marxist cultists putting their nuttery on full display.
Yeah, the lockdown was popular. But, honestly, I’m not so sure the racial pandering is. Sure, suburban moms will say all the right things when they’re asked in a poll. But riots and looting have to be in the back of their mind when they’re alone in the voting booth. And I don’t see how the Democrats can now shed the image of the riot and looting apologists.
You are wrong.
Feel better?
I think this may happen as well
All Biden has to do is win Florida and Michigan, Or Florida and Pen., Or Florida and Arizona, or Florida and Winsconsin. Or Florida and North Carolina.
Seems to me he has very good chances.

Sounds legit.
I’m watching Gauleiter Wolf’s press conference about the concurrent resolution ending the emergency declaration. He flat out said the emergency declaration stands.
*runs to microwave and begins popping corn*
My thoughts exactly!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_resolution
Wolf is a shithead, but the GOP is not being genuine here. They are being their normal spineless shitheels. They pretty much called him a poopy head, and are posturing like they did something meaningful.
The emergency legislation says the legislature can end it any time with a concurrent resolution.
Interesting.
Then Wolf is even bigger shithead.
I imagine they go the the supreme court and that the Governors argument would be that such a clause would be unconstitutional because it gives the legislature power to do something without the governors assent.
Which is stupid since the law itself is the legislature giving the governor power, so they can put what rules they want on it.
I laughed when Wolf said the state constitution prevents one branch of government from imposing its will on the people of Pennsylvania. Wolf goes on and on about the constitution and how the legislature has decided they would suspend the constitution with this meaningless concurrent resolution.
My gut is telling me, that since the state Supreme Court has already said the legislature can end this with a concurrent resolution, is that Wolf loses.
Do they have enough votes to override a veto? Because if they don’t, they’re stuck. Except perhaps harassing the executive with administravia such as oversight hearings.
Irrelevant. Concurrent resolution.
Having said that, the legislature has tried passing bills overriding Wolf’s orders. Wolf vetoed almost all of them. The legislature was not able to override those vetoes.
HAH! Gauleiter Wolf said that no branch of the government has the power to impose its will on the people of Pennsylvania. He said this in reference to the legislature passing the resolution and not needing anything from the government. The state attorney said the legislature does not have the authority to do what they did, except the legislation says they do. Wolf is going on and on about the constitution.
Remarkably concise and clear for legislation:
Emphasis mine. The Gov. is required to issue the order. A poor piece of drafting; the resolution itself should terminate all orders relating to the state of emergency. Should be a quick and easy mandamus lawsuit by the legislature to get a court to order the Gov. to issue the required executive order.
And if he doesn’t, he should be [REDACTED].
Impeached and prosecuted for civil rights violations?
Also an option.
*grabs popcorn*
Wow. Wolf and his attorney (general council) said the concurrent resolution is meaningless. HAH!
OBE, good luck to your dad.
Thanks Mo! Hopefully just asymptomatic. He is rightfully pissed
It’s SCIENCE, he explained
“Whatever proportion of disease is transmitting from asymptomatic individuals, as Maria said, that is unknown,” Ryan said.
“I’m absolutely convinced that that is occurring. The question is how much,” he said. “There’s much to be answered on this. There’s much that is unknown.”
Don’t dilute the narrative. This is the most lethally contagious disease ever.
That’s fine, but until you present evidence, then you really can’t be saying you’re opinion is scientifically founded.
CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman Retires
Another scalp for the collection
I don’t blame him. You get to the top, you’re cruising along, you’ve got money, and suddenly you get hit with this bullshit. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Retire to the Bahamas and leave the world to burn.
I was kind of amused that there were people here saying that as the public face of Crossfit, he probably shouldn’t have Tweeted what he did. His sin wasn’t getting political, obviously, but for thinking that he could express an opinion held by a large if not a majority of Americans at this present point in time. If he had just fallen in line like damn near every other corporate leader in the country, all would be swell.
I don’t understand that sentiment. We need people in positions of power to speak-up, even if they’re uncouth. And we need to stop letting them take scalps for it.
Elon says hi.
I no longer dislike him now.
I wonder, does the company own the rights to the term CrossFit or does he own it personally. It’d be funny as hell if he retired to Mojeaux’s hypothetical Bahamas retreat and told them they couldn’t use the title.
If he ever had funding of any sort, investors would have been bonafide fools to let him retain any rights to anything.
I believe around 10% of the affiliates have terminated their agreement with CrossFit.
So far, Mrs. Dean’s gym has not. The owner talks to her about this stuff. I’ve been advising her to tell him “This is a business decision. No need to rush into it; there are no prizes for being in the first group to quit. If its good for the business, quit. If not, stay in.”
I miss the early nineties. I used to ride my motorcycle to the newsstand and buy paper copies of Reason mag. I used to listen to Leonard Piekoff on the radio back then. We used to bitch about political correctness and the obvious lies used to promote global warming and the dangers of second hand smoke. There was a billboard on Sunset blvd that had a continuous scroll of the death counter for second hand smoke. It looked like the national debt clock. It was at around 100 million when they finally took it down. It would go up by about ten thousand a day. It was funny at the time, but it’s just a scary red flag, now. Truth was the first casualty, as always.
10K a day? damn that’s worse than the Rona. Glad they put an end to that.
They didn’t put an end to it, they universalized it.
As far as I can tell, the only people who ever died of secondhand smoke were people who were married to insanely heavy smokers for decades.
Now they’re talking about third hand smoke.
When you drain a well dry, you have to find a new place to dig.
Because as freakish, crude and inappropriate as Donald Trump might be, he’s still someone constrained by our underlying social norms. He’s still someone willing to work within the confines of the constitutional system.
And Trump is a deal-maker. If those boneheads had not spent the past three and a half years tormenting him and accusing him of every crime and depravity under the sun, there’s no telling what horrible “compromises” they could have hammered through.
6 hours in, pork has about 35 degrees to go.
Right on schedule. About now is when I wrap it in foil.
I did that last time, I am trying without this time. I get the reasoning, but it didnt work well for me.
I’ve only smoked about half a dozen pork shoulders so far and have yet to get a consistent smoke flavor into the center of the cut. I do injections a few hours before smoking but that really only hides the lack of flavor. Any suggestions?
I don’t know that you could get smoke flavor to the center. I usually make pulled pork out of it, so mixing it up will distribute the flavor.
^^^This is the key. Pull and mix to get the smoky goodness distributed everywhere.
. . . into the centre?
I don’t think there’s enough smoke in the Universe to get it all the way into the centre during a normal slow-cook BBQ. It’s called a smoke “ring” for a reason. Your use of injections (small amounts of liquid smoke?) sounds reasonable based on what you’re trying to achieve.
Mind you, I only ever pull and mix the pork after cooking’s finished, so any smoke ring flavour ends up being distributed throughout the meat anyways.
And I also like crock-pot shoulder and oven shoulder (I use one of Raichlen’s recipes for the oven cooked shoulder).
6 hours in, pork has about 35 degrees to go.
Now that’s what I call a lovemaking session.
That’s not a lot of Kevin Bacon.
I don’t understand that sentiment. We need people in positions of power to speak-up, even if they’re uncouth. And we need to stop letting them take scalps for it.
Once upon a time, entrepreneurs were celebrated for their ability to color outside the lines.

He continued, “The Floyd family lifted up that spiritual-moral banner in the midst of a moment in which we got all of the lies and crimes and be it — the Wall Street or White House or even Congress itself, we know they don’t represent the best of this country. It is just that the best of this country right now seems to be so powerless, but in the streets of our nation we see this multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-gender, different sexual orientations, and different religions, Jewish brothers and sisters holding up Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, the Catholics holding up Dorothy Day, the Protestants holding up William Kaufman and Lydia Maria Child, and the agnostics and the others holding up the Norman Thomases and the Edward Zaids and others. That is my mixed wrestling with what I saw today, my brother. And I think we’ve got hope in the form of motion, but we have to get ready for the backlash. We have to get ready for the neo-fascist clampdown because it is coming. It is coming.”
Cooper said, “I have to say, you’re — I never had the honor of taking one of your classes. But I feel like I’m a student of yours, and I learn lessons every time you speak.”
As Cooper began to cry, West said, “No, we’re in it together, brother. The beautiful thing about tears, Socrates never cries, but Jeremiah does, and so does Jesus. We cry because we care, we’re concerned. It is not about political correctness or self-righteousness. We cry because we are not numb on the inside, and we don’t have a chilliness of soul and a coldness of mind and heart.”
Are you warning or threatening?
“As Cooper began to cry”
Spare me the performative bullshit Anderson.
After the cameras stopped rolling, they went out for beers and laughed their asses off.
Odd. I prefer Socrates to Jeremiah or Jesus.
Give me the man with questions, not the man with answers.
Two short lines and Surly Knott gets comment of the day.

You motherfuckers have no idea.
Socrates was a jack ass
If you hadn’t linked it, I would have.
One of my favorite things he’s done. That and the Buck Swartzmore bits.
He believed in Democracy and accepted the verdict of the 51%. That’s why he was a jackass.
I’ll still take him over J or J.
Hey Brooksie, how are you doing?
I hope they don’t close the one in my spare bedroom, it’s really convenient.

Someone at The Bee is working on a story right now.
Would not miss them at all. I don’t even care for their bottled frappuccinos (and I usually go for that sort of thing) because they have Starbucks coffee in them.
Good god, those are gross. I wonder what kind of sorcery they use to cram so much sugar into it.
It’s a PepsiCo product. Starbucks just licenses it.
HOLY MACKEREL! The viscosity/mouthfeel of the product I tried, some vanilla flavored thing, was off-putting to the point of throwing it away. It was oily and slightly thicker than water, like drinking Astroglide.
Don’t know if this has been mentioned.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/homicides-los-angeles-increase-250-125611007.html
Homicides in Los Angles went up 250% over the previous week. And the number of victims shot went up 56%” from May 31 to June 6
Long hot summer indeed.
I saw that. Just what until all the cops go on strike.
All were killed by cops i assume? Otherwise it is just a blip
They don’t really give any facts as to how they arrived at this number. I don’t buy any of this shit. What? there were 5 this week and 1 last week? Besides, there a giant riot going on. There’s only 250 or so per year, now. This is volley one on getting the funding back.
No, and I’m sorry I didn’t mention this. These figures are from the LAPD mediated though Yahoo News. Take this with a grain of salt and by grain I mean salt lick.
It could be 2 murders last week and 5 this week but the police are trying to scare people so their funding doesn’t get cut. That doesn’t mean the headline is wrong. Just not the full story.
Yeah, and I forgot that of the 250 a year, 50 of them are killed by cops. So really, it’s 200 a year.

Geeze. All the people admiting to be racist. No wonder the left thinks everyone is racist.
What will her penance be, I wonder?
What’s the progressive version of a Hail Mary and an Our Father?

It’s ok, they are taking her to the heliport.
This has inspired me to start a grass-roots campaign. “Kick them in the butthole” – watch out media and lefties(same thing).
Can we finally declare a Peak Derp moment?
Print that article in a noted white supremacist haven such as, say, Tehran, and see how that goes.
Burn all harry potter books.
Peak derp implies that nothing anyone says will ever be derpier than that. We’re nowhere near peak.
I dunno – it’s pretty damn difficult to come up with something dumber than “biological sex is a tool of white supremacy”.
I mean…. Sierra Club yesterday put out that we won’t be able to stop global warming without stopping White Supremacy.
This is the exact same play book they had 3 years ago after trump was elected.
I think I may start browsing twitter and compiling lists of invitees for helicopter rides. Do any of you reprobates have the skills to create and a scraper to autofill a 120,000,000 entry database? i don’t think I can do it manually.
That premise is so retarded that I am not even sure how to criticize it.
To parse something you have to make some sense of it to start. Every single bit of that is nonsense. You are only going to bog down to the frame and spin your wheels. Dont even go there.
Oh geez. Check out Amrou’s photo.

Yup.
Again, I would suggest that xe try gamboling around in public in a non-Western, non-white supremacist place. Sudan seems like a good candidate.

Fuck that. Unless you want to air drop hot bacon grease.

Oh and i’m sure you think French Fires are not worthwhile!

Also this is a sort of reference to an old sitcom which would probably be in poor taste these days. Though granted it was in poor taste back then.

I think we’ve got a few of those around here.
Lubertarians — political ideology or avant-garde porno? You decide!
Why not both?
We just wanna be free! Free to grease our machines without getting hassled by them!
*the man, fucking auto correct.
I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me sooner. Antifa is the Red Army Faction reincarnated.
The Red Army Faction had significant upper class support since it was “Radical Chic” to do so. They had leftist politicians supporting them and providing cover.
The Stasi supported them to destabilize West Germany. I would not be surprised at all to find out China or Russia has provided Antifa support.
The major difference seems to be that Antifa intends to inspire the mob to do their dirty work for them while the RAF was a little too greedy for fame and money to do that.
Something about the Soviet past always changing.

They’ll go full tilt into their remaking of America into their perfect, progressive image. 2022 will see a much less polite Tea Party type uprising, and 2024 will make 2022 look boring.
I hope it goes that smoothly. The Democrats have shown what can happen when politicians allow a significant constituency to believe the government is at war with them. God help them (and maybe all of us) if a Republican figures out how he can return the favor.
Welp, apparently the LA Pride people have pissed off the Black Lives Matter folks. They’re gonna need to hire some cops to be a new style of riot squad, lol!
I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
More evidence that we are loosing the culture war.
So for once the black activists aren’t going to let the LGBABCDEFG activists hijack their cause. *Mr. Burns fingers* Excellent.
What black activists? BLM is a Marxist front organization.
Does the “black” in “Black Lives Matter” not refer to the concept a black activist organization?
BLM is Marxism in blackface. One swipe with a Kleenex and. you will see red.
Yes.
It’s why the “official” BLM propaganda spouts shit like “capitalism is always racist”
And “we will destroy the family”.
The BLM activists have been protesting Pride marches for several years. This is not new. I believe the LA Pride tried to camouflage their Pride (not allowed) as a BLM protest this year. Not surprising that it didn’t work out.
I didn’t know that. Thanks.
Yeah, there’s serious tension between the gay (GLB) community(ies) and black communities. If nothing else, there’s a strong religious element to it. This goes back at least 5 decades, and hasn’t changed much.
Like I said in Morning Lynx, they’re in full eat-their-own mode.
Yes and it’s hilarious to watch.
Will the People’s Front of Judea still be participating?
I am shocked.
Good news, everyone! The city has deigned to start processing firearms licensing again. So my 2nd Amendment rights are back to being, kinda, sort-of honored.
In unrelated news, the picture on this made me laugh: State Moves Into Unannounced Goth Phase of Reopening
heh
If you have to ask permission, your rights are in no way being honored.
I’m well aware.
I miss the days when we taught sing songy shit like “sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me” or “I’m rubber, you’re glue, anything you say bounces off me and sticks to you.”
Those were good rules of thumb.
