“I will fight inflation.”

“There is no inflation.”

“I will not fight inflation.”

“Well, there’s a little inflation.”

“I will fight inflation.”

“There’s not enough to be fought, yet. It’s no big deal.”

“Inflation is no big deal.”

“Inflation might make us lose the midterms.”

“Inflation is a yuge deal.”

“Don’t say huge like that.”

“I won’t say huge like that.”

“Say that inflation is worrying but expected.”

“Inflation is worrisome but expected.”

“Blame Trump. Whataboutism isn’t a thing any longer.”

“Whataboutism Trump? Huh? You ever think about that, Jack?”

“Who’s Jack?”

“Jack is the guy who is talking about Trump.”

“Should we just wipe and start over?”

“We don’t have time…”

“Good job, Mr. President!”

A 70s Playboy is dropped at Joe’s feet as they back out of the Oval Office.

My Struggle by Kamala Harris (2029), pg. 238

I see that on July 14 of our first year in office I see that I wrote my journal “Why won’t he die, I just want him to die, die old fuck old fuck old fuck, die.” Oh, those were fun times.

“I’m detransitioning,” Astrid said to Kaylieburrow and Seresto. “Nobody cares if I’m a boy or a girl. No one is paying attention to me.”

“Why don’t you want people to pay attention to you?” Kaylieburrow asked, contorting and stretching her body to get an angle for a selfie.

Seresto watched as Astrid struggled under her shirt to unwrap the bandage holding her breasts flat. “Let’s see them tiddies,” she said under her breath.

Astrid groaned as the bandage came loose and she threw it on the break room counter.

“And these stupid nonbinary thempons,” Astrid growled digging them out of her messenger bag and throwing them at the trashcan. “I’m a woman, I’m a woman, I want a tampon made for a woman’s body!”

“There are tampons all over the place,” Kayleburrow said. She stood and twirled to the break room cabinets and threw them open. The coffee cups were filled with tampons, and the Keurig cup carousel had them stuck in all over. She opened drawer after drawer to show tampons packed in rows like paper-wrapped soldiers ready to fight in the war for feminine hygiene. “And pads and liners and DIva Cups too!” she sang.

“Just ignore her when she gets like this,” Seresto said to Astrid.

As Kaylieburrow chased Astrid out of the breakroom with a rhyming couplet about the joys of free-bleeding, Seresto gathered up the bandage soaked in titty smell and stuffed it into her tiny backpack purse.

    Inflation is like the deficit, it’s only bad/important if you can blame the other side for it.

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      This guy gets it.

    • waffles

      “Inflation is good, actually” articles have been springing up like weeds lately. So the administration is not confident that they can blame their predecessors.

      • Swiss Servator

        CNBC led the charge – “Hey, you may get a raise!” never mentioning “You WILL pay more for lots of things, raise or not.”

      • Raven Nation

        It’s like Pelosi’s “unemployment is good because it breaks ‘job lock'” comment from the Obama years.

      • Ownbestenemy

        It is the continued destruction of the language. Ive said it before and I am not really a fan of Michael Savage but he was spot on that a nation is not a nation without language, borders and culture.

        The last step is language and we are well onto our way of that having no meaning whatsoever.

        We could fill the dead space of needed articles on this site with just weekly quotes from Top Men saying shit that has no meaning or the opposite meaning.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        a nation is not a nation without language, borders and culture

        Pointing back to my article from yesterday, language, borders, and culture all get at a core attribute… commonality. People more often operate with one another in good faith and with a level of trust when there is high commonality. Not so much when there is high discommonality.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Which by the by, great read!

      • BigT

        “high discommonality.”

        It’s spelled D-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y

      • zwak

        Eh, language evolves, borders fluctuate, and culture changes.

        They only seems to be breaking down with the rate of communication speeding up.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Natural change =/= a concerted effort by a disaffected subculture to subsume the values and priorities of the broader culture.

      • zwak

        So, these people are aliens? A rogue AI?

      • R C Dean

        I increasingly think of the people trying to trigger a Cultural Revolution as TWANLOCS – those who are not our countrymen. The lack commonality with, well, me. So, yes, in an important sense, they are aliens.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        So, these people are aliens? A rogue AI?

        In the past, a very small, but highly vocal minority who decided to stop playing by the rules of the majority culture in a quest to accumulate power.

        Since the 60s, a formal and informal mandarinate with ever growing societal influence that has successfully gathered a portion of the populace into a burgeoning new culture that is detestable to the adherents of the old culture.

      • zwak

        Are you talking about Christian’s in Rome?

        I am not trying to be flippant, but this has been going on since time immemorial. That doesn’t mean it’s a good or bad thing, simply something to watch out for, and work to prevent if you don’t like.

      • R C Dean

        Eh, language evolves, borders fluctuate, and culture changes.

        The rate, source, and purpose of change make a great deal of difference. Borders that fluctuate because your neighbor seized some of your territory, say, is not a good thing.

      • zwak

        Oh, no where did I say it was good, just that it happens. Sometimes overnight, if you think about Israel.

      • R C Dean

        The “Eh” communicated a certain . . . nonchalance.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        That doesn’t mean it’s a good or bad thing, simply something to watch out for, and work to prevent if you don’t like.

        The mechanism itself may not be good or bad, but an undeniable consequence is the reduction of commonality and the increase of discommonality, which is highly dangerous to the continued existence of the subject nation in one unified piece.

        In the current situation, I’d say it’s bad because it portends the decline of a rather unique attempt at governing in a rights-respecting way and the resultant rise of one or more despotic societies.

      • EvilSheldon

        Let’s hear it for institutional gaslighting!

        I guess, “It’s better for the environment for you to be impoverished and miserable,” didn’t test as well with the focus groups.

      • rhywun

        No but I’ve seen that one and just the other day.

      • zwak

        That one is always waiting in the wings.

        The obsession with mortification and sacrifice is another mark in the ‘Progressivism is a Religious Cult’ column.

    As Kaylieburrow chased Astrid out of the breakroom with a rhyming couplet about the joys of free-bleeding

    It’s like I was right there, seeing and hearing it in person.

    Bravo!

  3. Sean

    Wait, who’s Astrid?

    Astra–>Asterix–>Astrid?

    • Sean

      Did no one else notice?

      Did SF just “Becky” us and slid Sarah Chalke into the part?

      Am I being gaslighted?

      Shouldn’t I be working?

  4. juris imprudent

    Inflation is transitioning?

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      Yes, transitioning to a higher number.

    • waffles

      Inflation is infrastructure.

  5. Sean

    titty smell.

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      It’s like flop sweat but with better visuals.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Don’t assume its the norm that the visuals are better

      • Sean

        +2 Roseanne Barr tits

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Meh. Lopsided tits are still tits.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        For tit’s sake man!

        Not “La Chupatetas”?/doesn’t speak Spanish

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Well, googling both of yours got me a bunch of *ahem* material not intended for minors. So it is hard to say.

      • Master JaimeRoberto (royal we/us)

        El, because the gender is based on the sucker, not the suckee.

      • Bobarian LMD

        googling both of yours

        So this was an image search?

    • Tres Cool

      As someone that appreciates the “larger ladies”, let me tell you that on a hot, July, afternoon in SW Ohio, there is nothing more magical than seeing sweat percolating up the cleavage of some DD’s.

      • juris imprudent

        Some comments are more SugarFree than SugarFree himself.

      • Tres Cool

        Ive been looking for a reason to use “percolating”.

      • rhywun

        Good to the last drop™.

      • Master JaimeRoberto (royal we/us)

        He never has seconds of my sweat.

      • waffles

        I see you also are a man of culture.

        Look man, my wife has fantastic assets but after a day in a hot trailer grooming dogs, I will wait until she freshens up.

  6. Swiss Servator

    I…uh…well. I got nothin’.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I laughed.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        LOL

        Sending that to the owner of my local Tap Room.

      Right!? Destransitioning is apostasy to begin with!

      • juris imprudent

        Isn’t that extra-fluid gender??

        GENDER FLUID DYNAMICS!!!!!!

  8. Ownbestenemy

    As we wound down our evening last night we thought…why not! We put on The Hunt. I can see why sensitive people were up in arms about it. Made 10 years ago, it would have just been a stupidly comical film with over-the-top political jokes and jabs.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      I was apprehensive, but actually amused by it.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I was laughing and said “this is comedy! Love the ‘here is an actor that I know…oh he is dead now'” and my wife said, “it isn’t supposed to be a comedy but a thriller and horror”. Could have fooled me.

      • zwak

        Comedy horror films were all the rage back in the ’80s.

      • Ownbestenemy

        2010 gave us what could arguably be the best comedy-horror of all time and that is Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        While I laughed heartily at that, I’m still going to go with the Evil Dead series as the pinnacle of that genre, because Bruce Campbell.

      • Sean

        ^^

        because Bruce Campbell

      • Nephilium

        Speaking of the Evil Dead, it’ll be back in theaters this year for the 40th anniversary.

        And speaking of Bruce Campbell

      • Brochettaward

        It’s strange that a number of Hollywood studios passed on the film because they deemed its politics problematic.

      • juris imprudent

        That is such a perfect comment for your avatar.

  9. Tonio

    “I’m detransitioning,” Astrid said Kaylieburrow and Seresto.

    It seems something is wrong with this. Is Kaylieburrow addressing Astrid and Seresto? Misplaced quote marks?

    • SugarFree

      Needs a “to.” Good catch.

  10. mikey

    Just saw a “NIXON NOW” bumper sticker in town.
    My first thought? “What could SF have done with Nixon?”
    Maybe he’s still down the tunnels?

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      Maybe they are hoping that his reanimated head will come back attached to a robot Spiro Agnew body and rule us all.

    • Nephilium

      I really need to go back and re-read Transmetropolitan again.

      • Surly Knott

        Oooh, thanks for the pointer. I don’t know how I missed this, but miss it I did. Already checked out the e-comic from the local library.

      • Nephilium

        Hope you enjoy it. It’s a dark and funny read.

        Bryan Ferry was wrong, love isn’t the drug – fame is.

  13. OBJ FRANKELSON

    OT: But somebody is really interested in driving Detroit further into the ground:

    If approved, Proposal P would replace Detroit’s current city charter with a 145-page revised charter written by the Detroit Charter Revision Commission. Since Detroit has home rule, its municipal government has more independence from the Michigan state government and thus the authority to adopt a full city charter. The most notable revisions were designed to

    -develop free public broadband internet;
    -provide reparations to Black residents;
    -change police practices, policies, and training requirements;
    -give residents amnesty for water and sewer fees; and
    -grant tax credits for residents who show proof of overassessed property taxes.

    Because if I was trying to create a fiscal disaster, I could not think of much more they could do.

    Also if we are defunding the police, how do you want them to pay for said training? (I don’t know if the defund the police movement has much traction in Detroit)

    • Sean

      This is how you get ED-209s.

      • Timeloose

    • waffles

      How can Detroit possibly afford to pay reparations? Detroit is 78% black, it’s impossible.

      • EvilSheldon

        The Pollacks?

      • waffles

        My 91 year old grandmother was born to Polish immigrants in Detroit. I’d ask her, but I really doubt she’s inclined to pay.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        How much art is left?

    • Ownbestenemy

      -provide reparations to Black residents;

      Have fun with that. You have a population in the city of roughly 700,000 and ~78% black residents. Median income is something like $30K, Your city is 18 billion in the hole and this is your fix? Fuck our country is stupid.

      My guess is they will try to reap it from the metro area to ‘pay’ for it.

      • Sean

        https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/detroit-mi-population

        Detroit is also one of the poorest major cities in the United States, and poverty is a real problem. The median household income dropped from $29,526 in 2000 to $26,098 in 2009. A year later, it had fallen further to $25,787. nIn In 2010, the mean income is below the US average by thousands. 1 in 3 residents in the city are in poverty.

        Oakland County, a part of Metro Detroit, was once one of the wealthiest counties in the US, but it is no longer in the top 25.

        Detroit’s population decline is expected to continue for some time. The city owes creditors $18 billion, and its bankruptcy case was approved in 2014. As of 2016, the future for the city remains unknown.

        They’re already fucked. 18 Billion already owed.

      • waffles

        It’s one thing to go for the wish list when you’re flush with cash but this? This is silliness. Something snapped in the radical left. They feel like they are in control and have every right to raid our institutions for whatever they can get. Maybe they’re right. But there is no pretense of being able to pay for anything anymore.

      • Fourscore

        Oh, you guys. Easy-peasy. Sell off all the vacant lots, of which there are plenty. Use a two or three tiered pricing system, depending on the ethnicity of the buyer. Use that new cash to pay the reparations.

      • Nephilium

        Most of the empty properties in Detroit have outstanding property tax liens against them IIRC. So, while you may be able to purchase a house for $30, you’ll owe the government all of the back taxes from the people who just walked away from the house that now has a tree growing up through the middle of it.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Reparation in the form of 40 acres of downtown Detroit and a mule?

        The mule being the kind with drugs up its ass.

        “Oh, by the way, your property taxes are due.”

      • Ownbestenemy

        I am sure that the recipients of the reparations will be granted tax credits of overassessed property taxes to ensure that the square peg fits in the round hole.

    • OBJ FRANKELSON

      A quote from one of the city officials in support of this monstrosity:

      Detroit City Councilmember Raquel Castañeda-López: “[Proposal P] brought together folks who really understand what safety means, folks from the Black Lives Matter movement to folks within Detroit Action, who are looking at how we can reform our police department, how we can invest in things to prevent crime and give the people the economic opportunity and aren’t stuck in low-wage jobs.”

      Because when I think BLM, I think of a reduction in crime!

      • OBJ FRANKELSON

        Surprisingly (too me), Obergruppenführer Whitmer is opposed to it and is threatening to yank Detroit’s charter if they follow through with it.

      • B.P.

        From BLM to Detroit Action? What a wide-ranging array of stakeholders.

        I explained to Tres Version 2.0 today that Ive never, ever, seen a top-down, pushing for a vaccine for something that doesnt affect him, and likely wont give most people more than a bad cold.

      • Plisade

        Some group of politicians must be getting kickbacks on vaccine “sales”, maybe there’s even an incentive quantity to be met. Naturally the Useful Idiots Infantry have mobilized to play along. And the tax cattle are paying for advertising.

      • Akira

        Some group of politicians must be getting kickbacks on vaccine “sales”, maybe there’s even an incentive quantity to be met.

        The disappointing thing is that the Left, who previously insisted that Congress was bought and paid for by Big Pharma, is now dismissing any talk of kickbacks as “unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that are posing a danger to public health”.

It’s explicitly forbidden to incentivize (spell check wanted to replace with incontinence heh heh heh) taking an EUA or phase 3 trial drug to encourage use or participation I thought. Is that incorrect, a carve out for this particular medication, or a subset of the FYTW clause?

      • juris imprudent

        That’s to stop icky profit-motivated incentives, not the pure-hearted incentives of your loving governor.

    Just saw some pictures of the Vax Strike Force. I assume they’ve all had their shots. They’re all wearing masks (outdoors) which is an admission they don’t think the vax is very effective.
    How come no one trusts us?

      If you also understand that the masks don’t work either, it’s just minstrel theatre.

      One of the observers lamented the destruction of the mechanical digger, saying that the city’s ubiquitous electric scooters would have made a better pyre.

      Fair point.

      I’ll give the French credit, they know how to do insurrection properly.

        Needs more firefights.

    To Trashy and those who liked his recent commentary, I’d rec as somewhat related Black Pigeon Speaks last couple videos, as they are both somewhat related to community & tribalism. (TW: Bitchute)

    My ceiling joists can’t decide if they are 16″ or 24″ or even 5″ apart. Or my studfinder is busted.

    • Ask your doctor if BEAM is right for you

      Or the person(s) who originally built the place had zero idea of building standards and put joists “wherever.” (I’ve run into a couple of those, amazingly…)

    There’s going to be a big celebration of the company’s new logo next week. There will be swag to keep us updated with the branding and there will be SELFIE STATIONS!

    Are selfies still a thing?

    There will also be Ben & Jerry’s. I do not hold the sins of the founders against the ice cream.

      Did they book Rainbow dildo monkey butt too?

      • Ownbestenemy

        That would be a selfie to remember and cry about later on

    • SugarFree

      Selfies are forever. There’s very good evidence that the first photograph ever taken was a selfie. (Others contend it was a landscape out a window.)

      • Ownbestenemy

        Just because we gave it a silly name doesn’t mean people haven’t been taking photos of themselves since the beginning of photography. Hell, even drawing. I agree with SF and I am sure I have secured my place in some level of hell for it.

        Have you cut your ear off to draw it?

    I just finished reading an investigative report from our Title IX office.
    Here’s a summary:
    Professor A: “Professor B is a misogynistic poopyhead!”
    Professor B: “Am not! Professor A is the poopyhead!”
    14 pages and 11 witness interviews later, the conclusion: everyone involved is a poopyhead, but they are equally poopyheaded to everyone, so there is no evidence of sex discrimination. Case closed.

    Somebody should have warned me about this in grad school.

      everyone involved is a poopyhead, but they are equally poopyheaded to everyone, so there is no evidence of sex discrimination. Case closed.

      Sounds like Prof A has created a hostile work environment by weaponizing the HR apparatus to solve an interpersonal squabble.

    Seresto watched as Astrid struggled under her shirt to unwrap the bandage holding her breasts flat. “Let’s see them tiddies,” she said under her breath.

    Astrid is one of us! Zenu comin!
