Camera One
“Am I going to have to go to every town where a black guy dies?” Donald wondered aloud in the back of his armored Presidential pimpmobile.
“Only if a white guy kills him,” the hair said, strong and proud on Donald’s wearied brow.
“So a white guy killed this guy?” Donald asked.
“A white police officer,” the hair said.
“OK, so white cop/black death means Presidential visit, got it.”
“And you’re here to support Kyle,” the hat said, muffled, from Donald’s suit jacket.
“Who did Kyle shoot?” Donald asked.
“Two white guys,” the hair said.
“And this is a black guy named ‘Kyle?’” Donald asked.
“No, Kyle is white. And he said very nice things about you on Facebook,” the hair said.
“A fan? I love a fan.”
“We do too,” the hat said.
“Wait, white Kyle the Trump fan shot two white guys?” Donald asked. “What’s the problem?”
“Well, one was a rapist and the other one beat up his girlfriend repeatedly, so blmantifacommies are mad at Kyle,” the hat said. “And can I get out of here?” shaking the walls of his pocket.
“No,” the hair said sniggering. “He’s keeping you close to his heart.”
“I can’t breathe,” the hat said.
“Don’t start that shit up again,” the hair hissed.
“OK, I swear I’m going to get this straight,” Donald said. “White cop kills black guy, bad.”
“Well, he’s not dead,” the hair said, “Just paralyzed.”
“Not dead?” Donald asked. “So he gets a fancy wheelchair, boo-hoo. I’d love to have a wheelchair. No more walking! Genius! Walking sucks. It’s the least classy way to get anywhere.”
“Donald, we’ve talked about this: no wheelchair!” the hat said.
“White cop kills black guy: bad. White cop paralyzes black guy: bad. White guy kills white criminals: bad.”
“No, we like Kyle. We’re here to support him,” the hair said.
“White guy kills white criminals…”
“Who were attacking him,” the hat said.
“White guy kills white criminals who were attacking him: good?”
“Now you’ve got it,” the hair said, giving Donald’s scalp a congratulatory massage.
“And that’s why I’m in Wisconsin?” Donald asked.
“Yes, and more importantly, Biden isn’t here,” the hair said.
“It makes you look brave,” the hat said.
“I am brave,” Donald said. “And very Presidential.” Donald reached into the McDonald’s bag and stuffed a handful of fries in his face. “So Presidential,” he said, spraying bits of potato, “Right guys?”
The two Secret Service agents across from him nodded and one tried to smile.
“Wait,” Donald said, swallowing, “What happens when a black guy kills a black guy? Do I have to go there?”
“Nah,” the hat said. “Those are freebies.”
Camera Two
“Am I going to have to go to every town where a black guy dies?” the President asked.
The agents sitting across from him looked at each other. The lead agent caught the raised eyebrows of the agent next to him, a trainee recently transferred to guard Soaring Eagle Number One Best–the code name Donald has chosen for himself–and shook his head from side to side slightly.
“So a white guy killed this guy?” Donald asked. “OK, so white cop/black death means Presidential visit, got it.”
The junior agent squirmed in his seat.
“Who did Kyle shoot?” Donald asked. “And this is a black guy named ‘Kyle?’
Unconsciously, the lead agent’s hand felt for his gun, its comforting weight, its dream of release.
“A fan? I love a fan.” Donald said. “Wait, white Kyle the Trump fan shot two white guys? What’s the problem?”
The junior agent’s leg began to bounce. The lead put his hand on his knee to stop his restless leg. The hand lingered.
“OK, I swear I’m going to get this straight,” Donald said. “White cop kills black guy, bad. Not dead?!?”
Both agents pulled back.
“So he gets a fancy wheelchair, boo-hoo. I’d love to have a wheelchair. No more walking! Genius! Walking sucks. It’s the least classy way to get anywhere.”
The agents nodded in unison and the lead realized he was still holding his trainee’s knee. He jerked it away and buried it in the seat between them
“White cop kills black guy: bad. White cop paralyzes black guy: bad. White guy kills white criminals: bad. White guy kills white criminals… White guy kills white criminals who were attacking him: good?”
The junior agent’s hand joined his boss’ between the seats and caressed it tenderly.
“And that’s why I’m in Wisconsin?” Donald asked. “I am brave! And very Presidential.”
The agents watched him shovel cold French fries into his face, and they took each other’s hand.
“So Presidential,” the President said to them. “Right guys?”
The agents nodded and the lead tried to smile. Their earpieces crackled as the car glided to a stop.
“Wait,” Donald said, swallowing, “What happens when a black guy kills a black guy? Do I have to go there?”
“We’re here, Mr. President,” the lead agent said, his smile curdling to a grimace. As he stepped out of the car, his trainee pressed a hand against his lower back, let it fall to trace a buttock and then trailed down his leg.
“Not on assignment,” he hissed as they both reached in to lever the President out of the vehicle.
“Gay!’ the hat said.
“Like owning a moped together gay,” the hair agreed and giggled.
That was truly inspired.
And inspiring. Now I want a moped.
I am not buying a moped with you.
This isn’t just any moped. It was built by the A-Team, out of stuff they had on hand while locked in a welding shed.
Seven Minutes of Mechanical Heaven?
Okay, but Imma gonna have to drive.
Now I want an FBI agent.
Have you seen Ozark?
*googles*
Nope.
Twinky, thoroughly corrupt, FBI guy bangs big, dumb, redneck ginger-bear. YMMV.
Hah, I actually thought of Ozark when I was reading it.
Seconded.
Two cameras….so only one more to go before you reach 1970s sitcom standards
Don’t challenge him.
Camara three is at the end of a sigmoidoscope.
I saw it as security footage, like this.
Gay Secret Service agents, Donald is the most Progressive President ever! Much Brave!
Well, the Log Cabin Republicans released a video the other day with Richard Grenell talking about how Trump is more pro-gay than Biden, having had the first openly gay cabinet member (Grenell – briefly, as acting director of national intelligence), so why not?
ROFL.
“Nah,” the hat said. “Those are freebies.”
Fucking savage.
Nice work, SF!
Those ones don’t matter.
It’s as if I was there.
Apologies for going off topic so quickly, but….a Politico writer reinforces the perception that the media is simply an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party by suggesting that SF salon owner should be investigated for releasing the tape of Pelosi sans mask:
Use every law to go after those who would dare to confront power. The left has come a way? Or maybe it has just bloomed into what it always was.
Making a Democrat look bad this close to November is election interference. Who’s behind this? Probably the Russians. Launch an investigation immediately.
I mean, you’re not wrong. All that happened was true things were leaked about Hillary, and they called it election interference
Ianal, but I think that applies to audio, not video.
Absolutely. Otherwise, security cameras would all be illegal.
Of course it only applies to audio. Otherwise, every single business in California that has security cameras would be violating the law. It’s a plainly asinine comment, and this bitch knew goddamned well how asinine it was……but she said it anyway because anything, absolutely anything, that might discredit the salon owner even a little bit is worth trying. Why not? It’s not as if this woman will face any sort of pushback from her peers for this nonsense.
Yup. Whats crazy is that it works. If it was illegal to record her, then people would allow that to excuse why Pelosi was being a hypocrite.
Yup, a fact I confirmed after spending less than 30 seconds on the interwebs.
I like how she threw in private homes too…
So if I have this correct that means Sugar Free is almost up to 1970’s sitcom standards whereas our surveillance state is firmly entrenched in 1920’s two-reel comedy standards.
Is it legal for a business to not have security cameras?
I hope so. Trader Joe’s (at least locally) doesn’t seem to have them.
You been casing the joint?
After the election I just might send some thank you cards to these people for stepping on all those rakes.
This absolutely insane. I never want to hear that the press is just dumb again. They have a clear agenda.
Just include Hulk Hogan having sex in the videotape and every journalist will defend it as an essential exercise of the First Amendment.
Boy, if that wasn’t the low point for TOS, I don’t know what was.
Most of the writers at Reason today see themselves as “journalists” first and libertarians second (despite all the grief he gets, Robbie Soave is better than most on this). This is why their definition of libertarian is just a slightly modified version of the J-school definition of journalist, and it’s why they closed ranks around this issue despite there being obvious other issues at play. It’s also how they can say “too local” with a straight face, while meanwhile they follow the AP’s lead on whatever the twitter squabble du jour is.
Suave is just so adorable though! Cute as a button, he is!
I wonder if Libertarian Fonzie is bitter and jealous over Fruit Sushi’s dreamy, boyish, good looks.
Is Robby still on the masthead? I never think to go over there (maybe occasionally for Volokh re Scotus).
KM-W did us a favor. Let’s send her a muffin basket.
I’d rather read Robby than Volokh.
Many libertarian lawyer writers seem entirely content with not calling out judges for being blatantly biased and political in their decisions.

On the bright side, she’s getting ratioed pretty badly for it.
Ratioed isnt enough anymore. The fact that its even allowed to stand is just an indication that the general public really doesn’t care. Peolisi knew it would hit the news and she would have all the cover she needs.
No different when ChiTown mayor got her hair done, or Vegas allowed only police officers to get theirs cut, or Guvs going out without their own mandated masks, or going out of State to eat inside…
LO-fucking-L
Yep.
Onwards…
Yeah, that made me laugh. Along with “What happens when a black guy kills a black guy? Do I have to go there?”
“Nah,” the hat said. “Those are freebies.”
Hah! The ending killed me.
Theirs was a forbidden love.
A love defined by suits and shoulder holsters and cheap motel rooms…
Cheap motel rooms? This the secret service, not dog catchers.
““Wait,” Donald said, swallowing, “What happens when a black guy kills a black guy? Do I have to go there?”
“Nah,” the hat said. “Those are freebies.””
Unfortunately, that’s not even parody.
As far as I know, 21 people were shot in DC in the largest mass shooting this year, and it didn’t even make the news.
The only one killed was a young off-duty cop, and she was black – so, nope, no story there.
He botched the COVID-19 response, fomented racial division, and drove his protective detail to deviant behaviors. Trump is truly the monster to end all monsters.
relevant
fomented racial division
Who can forget when he said, “if I had a son, he’d look like Kyle Rittenhouse”.
Could you imagine?
Humpty Dumpty would fall right off the wall.
He’s “stroked” racial conflict, according to Joe Biden.
Obligatory.
Ya’ll need to lay off the Secret Service Agents. Ever since they were banned from getting hookers, they’ve had to seek new comforts.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate – FAKE NEWS. Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!
Questioning Hidin’ Biden’s fitness for office is Russian propaganda.
ABC’s Jonathan Karl reported on new government intelligence Tuesday that the Russians are seeking to sow discord in American politics by casting doubt over former Vice President Joe Biden’s mental fitness for office.
“It was meant to be a warning, an intelligence bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alerting local, state and federal law enforcement to a Russian scheme to damage Joe Biden’s presidential campaign,” Karl explained.
They nuked Hilldawg and now they are after Joe. It is known.
Maybe, just maybe, sowing discord is the point and they don’t actually have a preference for any candidate.
Biden had a second brain aneurysm way back in 1988, which is well documented BTW, but nothing to see here, all is well.
Old-age Lobotomy
Sure. The reason why people think Biden’s brain has turned to cream of mushroom soup is those dastardly Russians and not the fact that the senile moron can’t even read printed material for more than 5 minutes without stalling like a ’74 Pinto.
LOL master troll
armored Presidential pimpmobile.
That sounds cooler than the Pimpmobile I used to have.
“Wait,” Donald said, swallowing, “What happens when a black guy kills a black guy? Do I have to go there?”
“Nah,” the hat said. “Those are freebies.”
Heh.
I guess there are a fair number of rapists in the NFL…
The Jacob Blake shooting has elicited strong responses from athletes across the globe. Once again, issues such as police brutality and racial inequality continue to spark discussions about a need for change. Just a few months ago, Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints dealt with a social justice storyline of their own when Drew Brees drew criticism for insensitive national anthem comments.
However, thanks to a creative idea from Payton, the Saints sent a powerful visual message on Thursday about the Blake shooting that continues to generate powerful words and actions from not only professional athletes but also ordinary citizens.
Drew Brees will do anything to not get yelled at again.
Tyler Eifert, on the other hand, is not a giant pussy like Brees and has said that he will put David Dorn’s name on his helmet.
I don’t think anyone has thought very deeply about making people who fought with the police the faces of this movement will have in the long term. Eric Garner and George Floyd were killed while fully subdued. Rayshard Brooks and Jacob Blake were fighting with the police at the time they were shot.
I don’t think anyone has thought very deeply
about making people who fought with the police the faces of this movement will have in the long term. Eric Garner and George Floyd were killed while fully subdued. Rayshard Brooks and Jacob Blake were fighting with the police at the time they were shot.I’ve thought about this from time to time too. They always seem to pick the worst examples as the ones they want to really blow up into a huge issue, like those two and Mike Brown.
Remember poor Walter Scott? Guy who was pulled over for a brake light not working, fled because he had a warrant for unpaid child support, and was shot in the back while running away? Why wasn’t he made the poster bot of the movement? No violence in his past, no actual criminal warrant (only brushes with the law were all regarding child support), wasn’t armed, and was running away. It was one of the most egregious bad shootings I’ve seen, yet no one ever mentions the guy.
Actually, I had never heard of him before. But yes, that is also a better example too. There’s also Philando Castile, who told the officer he had a firearm and got shot for it. Or Amadou Diallo, shot for all anyone can tell for not “following orders” given by what looked to him like a bunch of people in plain clothes.
Tamir Rice, 12 year old with a bb gun?
Yep. They said he looked more mature than 12.
There has, to their limited credit, been a lot of focus on Breonna Taylor. Though they’re also a bunch of retards who shouted at Rand Paul, the sponsor of the bill to end the practice that got her killed (and is named after her*), to “say her name” like he didn’t already know it or what happened.
* = Standard caveat about most “named after” bills being terrible
What about Tamir Rice?
“They always seem to pick the worst examples as the ones they want to really blow up into a huge issue, like those two and Mike Brown. ”
Exactly, because if they picked clear, obvious examples then there wouldn’t be any controversy.
What a shitshow.
In a couple of decades this will be a business case study on how to alienate customers and destroy a brand.
I have a feeling they’ll be fine. It’ll blow over and everyone will get into football again.
Although I’m rooting for it not to be.
Between the endzone signs, the players putting crap on their uniforms, and the ads, I won’t be watching a second. And I’m very much your typical ex jock working class meathead who vicariously revels in the success of the local sports franchises.
Fuck ’em, I’m out.
Drew Brees drew criticism for insensitive national anthem comments.
So now it’s insensitive to say you will not kneel when the national anthem is played, because you feel that it’s disrespectful?
If the NFL isn’t hemorrhaging fans by now I would be surprised.
He apologized, so clearly it must have been insensitive.
I know, what a cowardly shit.
Just a few months ago, Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints dealt with a social justice storyline of their own when Drew Brees drew criticism for
insensitive national anthem commentsspeaking up for what he believed in just like Colin Kaepernick, but in a way the sportswriters didn’t approve ofFixed it for them.
Was expecting something about why Judge Trump’s tweets sounded suspiciously like Donald’s.
Love the with and without Hat and Hair dialogue. Makes it all too easy to imagine why Trump’s normal speaking style is so . . . disconnected?
Agreed. I am still hoping that the Hair and the Hat are actual sentient beings and not just figments of Trump’s ego and id, but it was hilarious to see a scene sans their dialogue, as everyone else would see it.
Holy god I can’t believe this is real.

The film adaptation of the fantasy novel written by James Comey? It’s real.
Hollywood has crawled all the way up it’s own ass. I’m amused by the noticeable drop-off in the quality of movies and the DNC convention production since Weinstein was taken out.
Remind me. Did Weinstein diddle kids or just beguile hungry ingenues with promises of movie roles?
Just young actresses. He left the kids to agents and managers. Harvey knew his place in the hierarchy of abuse.
As a potato, I am outraged at your othering of the ficus community.

Yuge missed opportunity. The trailer clearly sets it up as a story of forbidden love.
I’d watch that.
The whisper. The lingering handshake. The romantic dinner for two. Demands of secrecy and loyalty. Betrayal. Heartbreak. PG book deal.
The Comey Rule: “I never cum first.”
“You showed me your dossier, now it’s time for you to meet mine.”
Slo-mo shots of shirtless Putin on the horse. Piss hooker vignettes. Christopher Steele is already a porn name.
Seriously, we can write this in a weekend.

Local news has begun to no longer blast their pages with COVID numbers, making me think that they are also done with it.
We were heavy mask wearers in our area but the ctacks are forming and more people are just not even attempting to wear them anymore.
My fathers post-memorial was at a bar in Cali, no distancing, no masks, hell even a couple of *gasps* 18 year olds inside of it playing pool with family.
Sorry about your father. The post-memorial sounds like it was needed burst of normality.
Its all good. We were fortunate (so pissed I even have to write that) to hold a small service.
DEG you have no idea. My oldest is petrified and to an extent, justified. He lives with my mom and step-dad and are in their 70+ and with some comorbidities.
But he needs to get out and get a job so I convinced him to come down. He wore a mask the whole time and I had to dress down my niece (not sure that is the proper turn of phrase) for trying to get him to remove the mask.
In the end though, he got out of his bubble, saw family and friends and maybe he will realize, that life will go on.
Hopefully he will see the light and get a job.
I’ve seen more stories about the so-called opioid epidemic and vaping as well.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/betting_odds/2020_president/
I’m really hitting myself for not taking $1000 and spreading out bets accross different times to get some pretty good odds.
Where are all the fucking polls?
RCP seems to show a bunch from yesterday and today.
So few batttleground polls though.
The betting odds have gone from 61-37 Biden to 50-50 in the span of 6 weeks.
I still see Biden “winning” by gaudy numbers in the national polls but the reluctance to poll really important battleground states mystifies me.
Those states are trending toward Trump recently.
The RCP polling average of “battleground” states shows Trump behind Biden by 2, but over Hillary’s numbers at the same time last time by 1, so if there’s a similar “shy Tory” effect as last time, Biden is in trouble. We’ll see how it goes. We could very well have a repeat of 2016 on our hands. I would savor the tears, and as terrible as Trump is I do think he’d be leagues better than Biden.
OT: I’m gonna be teaching a class to a bunch of high school kids on Constitution Day. I’ve narrowed it down to 4 topics. Does any one of them stick out to y’all? Any suggestions on specific materials/concepts to be covered?
1) “Who does the bill of rights apply to?” – A brief overview of the philosophy of natural rights. Relevant portions of the declaration and constitution that affirm natural rights. Some of the historical controversies that arose from the applicability of the BoR (Japanese internment, gitmo, etc.)
2) The anti-federalists – a whistlestop tour of the anti-federalist papers and a look into how they influenced the constitution
3) Separation of powers and delegation – how the constitution struck a balance between the branches, and how the government has tried to get around those restrictions (Marbury, repudiation of non-delegation doctrine, administrative agencies)
4) power of the purse – what the constitution says about treasury and spending, along with historical and modern controversies (national Bank, gold standard, the fed, Dole v SD, etc)
Man….good luck. #1 is always good but #3 is good too.
#1
Yep with #1 you could work in why initially the thought that a BoR would be detrimental to the concept of the Constitution
The school’s actually up in your direction, Mo. It’s a KCPS school.
Are you doing this Zoom or are you actually coming here?
Zoom. I wish I could do the lesson in person, but I can’t imagine the level of freaking out that would accompany such a thing.
Which school is it, if I may ask?
I’m a little bit hesitant to answer publicly because school name plus what was in my original comment could result in it being trivial for somebody from the school to connect the dots and be able to dox me.
If you wanna know, shoot me an email and I’ll answer privately.
5v8tz4onh9so@opayq.com
No big. It’s not that deep for me. LOL Not my school district.
Perhaps you could work a brief history of the historical context and contemporary thinking behind some of the amendments and why the 9th and 10th have been a mostly dead letter by SCOTUS.
#3
1 barely works with libertarians.
I like 3.
Just don’t make it political.
😛
lol, I’ve found how hard it is to do that.
Natural Rights? The Marxists hate the concept. Separation of powers? A specific target of the progressive era. Power of the purse? Too soon.
On the other hand, cucking out and doing some generic “the constitution was good, it did things that impact us to this very day” is going to bore those kids to tears. I’d much rather never be invited back.
Then focus on 2A
#5 Why hate speech is a horseshit idea intended to help progressive fascists (BIRM) tear down a vital, essential facet of our civilization.
Start with the basics. #3
Then bleed into the discussion of the powers that are granted to the government versus those that are explicitly denied.
#3 is probably the most interesting (to me), but #1 is most likely the best for high school students. Teenagers are all about rights, and #1 will hold their interest better.
I like 1, but with natural rights deism will be involved, if that’s problematic. Do you have time to work in a bit of Judge Nap?
#1 or #3.
I’ll be the contrarian and go with #2
Mostly because the anti-federalist papers are a hole in my own education and I imagine for most people as it’s just barely acknowledged in schools. Teach the controversy and the objections. Otherwise there is too much a feeling that the US Constitution came down from Mt Sinai fully formed.
#1, and emphasize that the rights are not grants from the government but protections for the people of their preexisting rights from the government. If you want to go all out, emphasize how people aren’t free if they are not free to defend themselves with words and weapons (as appropriate) and that this country and the constitution would not exist if people did not fight for that, which is why it’s protected (among other things) by the BoR.
Me Too!
Joe and Jill Biden will visit Kenosha tomorrow for a ‘community meeting’ two days after Donald Trump thanked cops and called rioters ‘domestic terrorists’

Come on, man! Do you need a drug test?
If he had allows stumbled over his words it would be one thing. This guy in his prime could talk all day without a stumble.
Biden was a consummate bullshitter. It’s what made him a viable politician.
He can’t even get out a white lie now without stammering.
I actually feel bad for him. He’s definitely…abadoo…purple monkey dishwasher.
That’s why I roll my eyes when writers start getting defensive about his “stutter”. If he legitimately has a stutter, why did no one ever hear it prior to 2020? Is it common for people who stutter to successfully overcome it for decades and then suddenly start stuttering again as they near 80?
They do if they have dementia.
And repeating a word like a skipping a record or using the wrong word or mangling a sentence into incoherence isn’t a stutter in the first place.
Look, it’s just, I mean, 100 years! Think about it.
Someone pointed it out on twitter – whenever Biden starts stumbling over his words and then says “look, …..” it means he’s forgotten the script and is winging it, and disaster always follows.
Facebook re-approved my ad, but nary a “sorry” to be found.
You want a sorry? That’s a banning for you.

I’d like to think that Sugarfree knows this based on personal experience.
It also seems designed to cloud more than human defensive sprays. But unless you’re LEO, good luck getting anything larger than a pocket sized can these days. Same with smoke grenades.

You just keep it in the kitchen and spray it into your food, don’t you?
?
Now there’s two fewer available.
Thanks
I have dog spray at work, which is at the lower end but it’s allowed and orderable at no cost. I think I need a couple more.
Thank god for that.
Drunken Nerfherder maced himself with some girl’s rape whistle/spray thingamob in college.
That sucked.
I was exploring buying a friend some bear mace with marking dye and find out about the lower strength of bear mace. Fortunately, many human mace brands now have marking dye, in both visible and UV varieties.
Sabre is adversing major capsaicinoids percentage over total oc%. Looks like their 2% bear spray is above the human stuff.

Pepperballs are out of temporarily out of stock with a large price increase. Still have plastic/nylon riot balls.
Serious news for serious people
President Donald Trump used his visit to this reeling Midwestern city on Tuesday to decry “tremendous violence” and minimize the Black Lives Matter protests that have become the largest protest movement in American history.
Meanwhile, his supporters cheered on a 17-year-old accused of murdering two protesters here after a 29-year-old Black man was shot seven times and at least temporarily paralyzed.
“I think peaceful protest is fantastic, I think it’s great but, by and large, this is not peaceful protest,” Trump said after he inspected damage left in the wake of sometimes violent unrest with law enforcement officials.

The president’s visit was not welcomed—and in fact actively opposed—by many local officials, who feared Trump would inflame tensions after the shooting of Blake, days of demonstrations, and the deaths of two protesters, both allegedly at the hands of Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old pro-cop teen vigilante.

Meanwhile, Blake’s family joined a community gathering at the site of his shooting. Free haircuts and acupuncture were on offer for those traumatized by so much violence in their midst, and children danced on bouncy castles that dangled a respite from a country in turmoil.
“I and many people don’t want him to come here,” Kenosha resident Adelana Akindes, 24, told The Daily Beast. “We feel like he’s just going to escalate everything that’s been happening—all of the… fear and, like, violence surrounding the protests, it’s going to just escalate.”
She said Trump’s presence in Kenosha wouldn’t address the “real problems,” like systemic racism and police brutality.
Buildings were burned.
If free haircuts won’t fix systemic racism, what will?
“Refusal to wear a facemask linked to sociopathy” (paywalled after the first few paragraphs but y’all get the gist)

Blah blah blah bullshit…
They should now do a study on “Insistence that everyone conforms to your desires, even if they have no effect on you”.
People who refuse to follow rules on wearing facemasks are more likely to have malevolent sociopathic traits, a study suggests.
I like to malevolently avoid being meddled with and forced to do pointless and possibly damaging things to show my virtue.
The spin is interesting, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if sociopathic people conform less to supposodely pro social behavior than normies but they’re implying that not wearing masks serves as an indicator of sociopathy. Only a sociopath or an asshole would do that.
This was a great entry in the H&H cannon. Deserves a round of applause.
I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. Seriously, great stuff.
