I get they think they need to pander to blue pilled conservatives, but there is no reason for the NFL to celebrate Veteran’s Day every year by selling olive drab colored merchandise during the entire month of November. The camo pattern this year is particularly garish. Think the Bundeswehr pattern with brown replaced with baby shit tan, pixelated and then turned the contrast up to 11.

So everyone at Pfizer is a criminal?
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is now attacking the First Amendment.
Bourla said people who circulate misinformation about Covid jabs and dare speak ill of his product are “criminals.”
Translation: The vaccine holdouts are costing him money so he’s going to use his platform to attack Americans exercising their rights.
“Those people are criminals,” Bourla told Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe on Tuesday. “They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives.”
Bourla said life won’t go back to normal until the vaccine holdouts take the jab.
“The only thing that stands between the new way of life and the current way of life is, frankly, hesitancy to vaccinations,” he said.
Go fuck yourself and die in a ditch, you tyrannical cunte.
In the dedthred I made a comment about this story, having clearly misread it. So if you see that, I was mistaken about the point being made, but I still think “AND” is cool….
“Bourla said life won’t go back to normal until the vaccine holdouts take the jab.”
Yeah, I’ve already heard that one. Didn’t happen.
““The only thing that stands between the new way of life and the current way of life is, frankly, hesitancy to vaccinations,” he said.”
We don’t want “the new way of life.” We want the old one.
Framing people who are against either mandates and/or the Covid shots as once again, vaccine hesitant knuckledraggers. Fuck off.
When I see “new way of life” all I can think of a huge increase in his standard of living due to a pipeline of money that goes straight into his bank account.
“The only thing that stands between the new way of life and the current way of life is, frankly, hesitancy to vaccinations
Hey fucker, I wasn’t particularly vaccine hesitant until y’all pulled this covid bullshit. Now I’m sure as hell vaccine hesitant. You burned 100% of the goodwill and trust I had in the medical system, and then some.
Is going to be an all out effort to not end up hanging from a rope for those guys, so I expect the rhetoric to get even more shrill and bombastic in the near future.
The cost of admitting their lies is now extremely high.
What utter horseshit.
Misinformation thy name is Albert Bourla.
A. the vaccinated can catch and spread the cooties so they must mask up and social distance blah blah.
B. the unvaccinated are responsible for the spread of the cooties. They are criminals so must be charged and imprisoned for disagreeing with Albert, something for which there is no law or legitimate charge.
Take your pick Cupcake. Which is it?
What’s the State Department’s Covid vaccine requirement for crossing the border from Mexico?
I mean, they require one, right? Because this virus is so deadly and a clear and present danger, right?
You don’t even need a test to walk across the border. Seriously. My buddy and his family flew down to meet us in southern Baja last summer. Because they flew from Tijuana they flew back there and walked across the border no test required. Because we flew from SFO we had to take the Vid test. Science!
Yet. I hear that will be changing. For legal entries.
Flying back:
Vax card and negative test within the previous three days, or
Negative test within the previous day.
Going somewhat from memory here – I looked at it several days ago.
We all know what the real culprit is.
President Joe Biden is repeating President Barack Obama’s strategy from ten years ago on high gas prices: he is blaming gas companies for “gouging” and forming a “task force” headed by the U.S. Attorney General to investigate the alleged abuse.
In an interview with Cincinnati’s Local 12-WKRC on Monday, Biden responded to a question about high gas prices by saying: “I have the attorney general taking a look at whether or not these gas companies are gouging people.”
There is no inflation.
Prices of processed turkeys are up 40.7 percent compared with a year ago, data from the Department of Labor’s Producer Price Index showed Tuesday. That’s even after falling a seasonally adjusted one percent in October.
It may be hard to even find turkeys in some parts of the country this year. The Wall Street Journal reported that turkeys were 60 percent out of stock. Cranberries, yams, and sweet potatoes are also low in stock.
Grain prices are 40.8 percent higher than a year ago, driving up the prices of our largely grain-fed turkey crop. Beef and veal prices are up 41.5 percent compared with a year ago. Overall, food prices are running 10.5 percent higher than a year ago.

For some reason every Food Lion I go into is short on frozen breakfast items.
Breakfast sausage has been out of stock for a week.
No V8, most branded coffee is out, only generic, I’m stocking up again, it’s only getting more costly,
It is starting to look quite Soviet.
For you young folks, when we were growing up in the 70’s, stories about the Soviet Union included footage of empty store shelves and long lines of people waiting to buy rationed food.
They would have “show stores” for westerners who visited that normal people were not allowed to go to… Attempting to demonstrate communist utopia with plentiful goods available to all.
I never thought it would be possible here in the US.

“Perhaps the most sweeping exception [to the vaccine requirement for entry into the U.S.] is for travelers with passports from any country where fewer than 10% of the country’s population has been vaccinated.”
I touched on this the other day. COVID is such a grave danger that we needed to crater our economy, put the public health army in charge of all of our daily activities, etc., but if you’re from an underdeveloped nation that hasn’t adhered to the “science” you can come here. I know the folks that rule us don’t care about the blatant contradictions they rub in our faces, but in this instance they can have their science or their equity, but not both.

It is pretty late for a hurricane to be hitting southern Baja. The area from San Jose del Cabo to La Paz is absolutely fantastic. We’ve been down there ten times in the last 11 or so years. We always rent a beach house as we don’t much dig the resort scene. We usually see more goats on the beach than people. Some unbelievable surf and offshore fishing there. El Mar de Cortez me encanta.
If they make boosters mandatory for international flights, it’s Mexico for us from now on.
Hey you mentioned that you were going to Tahiti soon. Where at there? I’ve always wanted to go to French Polynesia and I actually took a gander at flights from SFO and they weren’t that bad. The current Vid bullshit there seemed a bit much with our kids as they are not vaxxed, but if you are it didn’t seem that bad. Happy travels!
We’ll be in Moorea most of the time. We got some really inexpensive tickets, something like $800 round trip. I won’t be certain we’re going until we actually land. There’s a bunch of paperwork that we need to have in order and we have to get Covid tests tomorrow. Then there has to be enough pilots to fly the plane. We were scheduled to go in September, but French Polynesia went on lockdown so we would have been confined to our hotel.
Yeah, we are supposed to go to Turks the day after Christmas. I’m very concerned about freak lockdowns.
On the other hand, we have an amazing insurance policy that will pay if I get the ‘vid and have to quarantine at the resort. That might not be horrible
Vaccine mandate opponents testify at NH State House
Michael Burkett of Hudson says he’s refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine, and on Jan. 4 under the Biden vaccine mandate, he will lose his construction job.
“I’ve been there 32 years. I don’t blame them for it,” said Burkett, one of a few dozen opponents to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate who testified before a legislative study committee Monday in Concord.
The six-person House and Senate panel is looking into “medical interventions including immunizations” and by Dec. 1 has to complete a report with any recommendations for 2022 legislation.
The committee was created in a new state law that prevents anyone from being forced to be vaccinated in order to get a “public benefit” such as public assistance or admittance into a public building. The law exempts schools, day care centers and health care providers.
“We are all living under a cloud of suppression it seems with no end in sight,” Burkett said. “I am one of many who is not willing to accept the new norm as normal.”
More on Sununu’s announcement that he won’t run for Senate
Gov. Chris Sununu shocked the Republican political establishment from Concord to Washington, D.C. Tuesday by announcing that he is shunning a 2022 run for the U.S. Senate and will instead seek a fourth term in the State House corner office.
Sununu had been courted by Washington Republicans to run for U.S. Senate in a match-up against with U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan, but the governor decided against a run for national office, although he did not rule out holding a post in Washington at some point in the future.
In fact, Sununu did not rule out a potential run for president eventually, and in the meantime, he said he would be open to serving in the Cabinet of another Republican president’s administration.
If he runs for president, maybe at a candidate townhall he can have his state troopers in the audience.

re: Operation Market Garden,
So I just needed an umbrella…
It was the prototype for the one used in the Kingsman movie.
Was that before or after the buttsex?
And a bowler. That seemed to matter too.
Sounds like a pleasant(?) combination of giant brass balls and literally crazy.
Facts first.
Rittenhouse is captured in videos running away from the scene of the first shooting. In one video played by prosecutors, some people are heard yelling, “Why did you shoot him,” as several individuals start running after him.
Grosskreutz, who was later injured, is seen on Rittenhouse’s left, the prosecution said. A video clip played by the state shows the moments Huber, holding a skateboard, approached Rittenhouse, who was on the ground, before getting shot and staggering away, eventually falling down.
The clip also showed the moment of Grosskreutz’s shooting, who then ran away as Rittenhouse stood back up.
The person recording approaches Grosskreutz, who is kneeling on the ground as he holds his bloody arm, yelling for a medic. The clip then shows Rittenhouse walking away from the scene with his hands up, as armored vehicles drive by him, and people nearby yell, “he shot them.”
That’s some mighty fine context, CNN.
That is an absolute master class in dishonesty.
holding a skateboard, approached Rittenhouse,
I suppose that’s technically correct – when you’re trying to kill someone by smashing them in the head with a skateboard, you are both holding the skateboard and approaching that person.
This is surprisingly rampant. Almost none of the corporate media has even a mention of prosecution witnesses verifying the self defense story.
More bizarreness… I have seen a bunch of legal analysts talking about the case from the point of view of “this victim was the nicest guy in history who selflessly helped people”….. As if that would be even the slightest bit relevant, even if it were not made up out of whole cloth.
Really weird. A self defense case.. but they focus on how scary a gun is, how he ran away instead of rendering aid (as people are trying to kill him)… And every mention talks about white militia member white nationalist, wanted to kill someone…. Anything other than the facts or testimony.
Why? I just don’t see why they keep picking these hills to die on.
Because they’re not dying on those hills. They still have a significant part of the population convinced that Trump told people to inject bleach, colluded with Russians, and called white supremacists “fine people”. Now they’re trying to add “white supremacist murders 3 people in cold blood and gets away with it.”
We live in a post-truth society. CNN could say the moon is made of cheese, and 70 million people will believe it.
There’s nothing bizarre about it – the corporate media is on the side of the rioters. It’s exactly what it looks like.
The persons that have so far taken the stand today are fire.
I’ve watched some of the live feed from Rekieta Law. Oh boy, the prosecution is having a bad day.
Worse than yesterday? Good lord!
Vanderbilt University’s Latin American Public Opinion Project polled 2,997 Nicaraguans between June and August as part of their Americas Barometer survey.

My German uncle living in Berlin used to say similar things. Such as, “Put the wall back up.”
Fascists according to the official name.
I had been to the wall (on both sides) the year prior. I was amazed when the news came out.
Like RC said, it just freed the commies on the other side and removed the stigma from the ones on our side.
*faints*
Republican Rep. Paul Gosar posted a photoshopped anime video to his Twitter and Instagram accounts showing him appearing to kill Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joe Biden.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response Monday saying a “creepy member” of the House had “shared a fantasy video of him killing me.”
“And he’ll face no consequences bc @GOPLeader cheers him on with excuses,” the New York Democrat added.
As part of the initial tweet, Gosar asked, “Any anime fans out there?” …
Gosar is portrayed as a cartoon anime-type hero and is seen attacking a giant with Ocasio-Cortez’ face with a sword from behind. The giant can then be seen crumbling to the ground.
Another scene shows Gosar flying through the air, swinging two swords at a character with President Biden’s face.
Gosar did not respond to CNN’s request for comment seeking an explanation for the video and its meaning.
It’s just a metaphor. ///FightLikeHell

I was hoping the CNN article would link to the original anime tweet. Of course not. And let’s just sweep under the rug all the shit done during the Trump years, such as when a nice lady did a picture holding Trump’s several bloody head, or the various statues of Trump with a tiny dick, or the constant violence porn from the left overall….
Even the little stuff… Pretty much every large event had a giant blow up Trump in diapers.
The best thing that the GOP can do is disregard her because either way she’s a victim. I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before but she reminded me of this girl in college who used to dress provocatively when we went out to the bars. If guys were gawking at her she would complain that she was being ogled but if no guy would talk to her, she would complain that she was being slut shammed over her outfit.

Why the dutch angles? Is it so difficult to hold a camera level?
I watched a few minutes of the Rittenhouse trial moments ago… My first.
The attorneys seem to have lost their minds.
First:. Looks like the defense is calling witnesses now… So did prosecution rest? If so, what happened to a motion to dismiss. No chance the state met their burden.
Second:. They recalled a photographer. Defence elicited so e testimony about the state asking him to change his testimony. He testifies that the meeting became tense and they kept asking him to revise his statement… So he sought representation from a lawyer.
State starts objecting to every question. They sound incredibly defensive. When they start questioning the witness, the guy gets super aggressive….. And bizarrely badgers him about describing the meeting as tense. It was super tense as he tried to convince everyone that the meeting was not tense.
So strange. Has nothing to do with anything. But they really hammered on this guy to admit that although they asked him to change his statement, “nobody ever asked you to type out a new statement”.
Witness made it super clear that he did not trust the prosecution as far as he could throw them by being very careful about his answers….
So the prosecution just accused him of having a bias… WTF? It is your witness…
He badgers him about having a bias… Actually asks him if he wants Rittenhouse acquitted. Missed opportunity… “Are you asking for my opinion about the guilt or innocence of the defendant?”. Wish he had said that.
A flurry of objections ensue.. largely from the bench. Judge calls a 10 minute recess, probably to get the prosecutor back on track before he gets eye witnesses to say that they believe he is not guilty.
I dunno what is going on. The whole thing had nothing to do with Rittenhouse and guilt or innocence. Just looked like lawyers pissing in each others Cheerios.
He is burying himself with this cross-exam. That is a sound witness
Are we into the defense case …. Or is this rebuttal or some such as still part of the prosecution case. I really just walked in for 5 minutes and was stunned by what I saw.
Defense’s case now.
Prosecutor is in bizarro world now.
Trying to discredit his former witness by detailing all of the criminal acts he saw Rosenbaum commit… Then asking if he saw Rittenhouse observe the act??
As if the defense is going to be “I saw an arsonist endangering others, so I killed him”.
Evidence helpful to the defense. I’m guessing he’s trying to pre-empt something? That the defense could never get in.
The real action will be the defense’s self-defense experts. Many opportunities for them to pick up testimony from the prosecution’s case.
Apparently the judge dismissed the charge for . . . violating curfew.
What a clownshow.
Judges can issue directed verdicts on their own motion, is my recollection. I think the prosecution managed to put on evidence supporting every element of a self-defense claim. Its tricky with those, because the defense has to prove them with a preponderance of the evidence, and I can see a judge thinking “the prosecution really helped the defense, but could a reasonable juror not find self-defense? Maybe.”
Putting Rittenhouse on the stand would be a real Hail Mary, at least in a normal trial. Given the blithering incompetence of the prosecutors so far, maybe not such a gamble in this case.
I’m feeling a compromise verdict coming on – conviction on the first killing.
I hope they don’t put the kid on the stand. I only see downside.
The first killing was the least photographed….
But
They have a mentally ill guy who just got out of the mental hospital, is on video committing many crimes and is reliably reported to have directly threatened to kill Rittenhouse…. And a witness who saw him attack Rittenhouse seconds after someone else (who was at least acquainted with him) shoots a gun… Yelling FU and grabbing for the gun.
Prosecutor went to great lengths to lead testimony elsewhere. “He was just falling when Rittenhouse fired the first shot, wasn’t he?”.
“No, he was lunging for the gun”.
If they cannot find self defense by a preponderance of the evidence….. Wow.
May I assume there will be rioting after the verdict either way?
Maybe not. Biden is in office now. There’s no real upside to the Democrats to let that happen.
Distraction from the shitshow that is the rest of the country right now?
I wonder if the Big City mayors like Garcetti, De Blasio, and Lightfoot would tolerate another shitshow like last year’s riots. In Chicago, the city and the residents are still feeling the effects of that eventful Spring.
I just don’t see how the Dems can spin it to energize their base.
Inflation, supply chain issues, the Afghan Withdrawal debacle, urban areas crime waves, and now riots? I think the Dems would brutally stamp the riots out because they know that if they allowed this shit to happen again, they would be destroyed during the Midterms.
I’m not sure the D establishment has the left’s paramilitary on a leash as much as they’d like to think. I suppose the police in Kenosha could actually police a riot and the bail money could dry up, though.
Also… Why did he dismiss the curfew charge? I mean, he is out or he isn’t. And there is a clock.
Did he find fault with the order? Find selective enforcement violated some due process?
Two reasons. First, the Prosecution never entered any evidence that there was, in fact, a curfew in effect. There was one witness (a detective) who mentioned it, but that guy’s testimony got struck. Second, the curfew was later ruled invalid by the state courts.

Steve Kirsch continues to hammer on the VAERS data. It really is ugly.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-vaers-analysis-reveals-hundreds
Thanks, Scruff. I may reach out to the guy.
Be forewarned, I think Kirsch is Aspergers. He’s been on top of all the data and is absolutely doing massive amounts of work putting the stats together, but his personality is a bit overbearing.
His interview with Robert Malone on the DarkHorse podcast is a good example of what I mean.
I forgot his name but was suspicious based on the writing style. Then he mentioned Malone and the podcast, and I said, “Oh, that guy. I’m done reading.”
FWIW I think Kirsch is actually doing good work and knows what he’s talking about. He certainly has the background to do so.
But like I said, I think he’s in that special class of personalities that drive people away because they come at you like a freight train, non-stop.
Today I started clear coating our new back fence. What a pain-in-the-ass. I’m slopping clear coat all over the place, trying to get it to stick to the rough (ahem) wood siding. Drips all over the place. I used half a gallon just to do two sections/one side only.
One project I wish I had never started – I should just let it slowly rot, which would take some time given it’s treated wood.
As someone who has done that, I would have recommended a sprayer. If you’d asked.
Can you spray it on?
It’s a two person job. One person sprays, the other rolls in the globs that appear.

A nice $360,000,000 payday.
I notice “indemnify” gets used a lot.
Good deal for a pharma that has yet to get a single drug or vaccine through a clinical trial.

If clouds can make love with the sky, that is what it would look like.
I thought that was what a double rainbow looked like.
Nice!
Pretty
Gorgeous!
How’s the pup doing?

This old lady testifying is America’s Grandma. There better be a meme of her face on Rambo’s body
And now GRAMBO is trending. Glibs, the tip of the ball!

Told you!
Though I didn’t think it would be the guard doing the stabbing…
I almost just lost my dad’s dog…I dropped the leash by mistake when we were approaching the door after pottying. I lunged for the leash, she sensed something was “off”, and did a Robert Smith move on me, got past me. I did a Chris Doleman and literally threw myself on the leash as it flew by me. Now I have some fun road rash.
Fuckin a
That sucks.
Flight-risk dogs are stressful. Sorry, KK.
My giant scaredy-cat just runs back to us/the house at the drop of a hat.
Except for that time, early on, when I clipped her to a heavy, metal chair – it wasn’t that heavy and when she pulled it over, sparks flew. Thank god she wrapped it around a tree down the block or she’d still be going.
Per my friend, “I’ve never seen [slumbrew] move that fast”. Apparently there was quiet a bit of profanity on my part as well.
Disregard my question up there ^.
I’m glad you got him. I have one of those and luckily I think I can outrun her, but still.
And by ‘Robert Smith move’ I thought you meant he stepped out of bounds to lose the game. I was confused.
Don’t you disparage my favorite Viking of all time!
I thought she meant the dog got all moody, put on pale makeup, teased her hair into a giant arrangement, and made a bunch of sad, bleating sounds.
Never forget, if not for that sad sack with a foo-foo haircut, the world would never have had this gem – Just Like A Dream.
Fun Fact: J Mascis played lead guitar with G.G. Allin & The Murder Junkies.
Well, this is solid.

I have a friend who was at that G.G. Allin show the night he died. There was some strange stuff going on.
I was just talking about trained dogs vs not trained dogs today.
Remember folks, you are responsible for your dogs in many locals. Its better to get a dog trained than have your dog do something to someone else. dogs have paired with humans for mutual benefit. Dogs are used to being trained by humans.
Dogs are easily trained to heal by your side while walking and never run without a command.

I like Tastykakes, but not those Tastykakes.
What are you, some kind of commie?
Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes are my favorite.
Coffee Kakes are next.
OK, you are forgiven. I once had a buddy whose Dad worked in the TastyKake Plant on Hunting Park Ave. Claimed the quality control was really good, even though rather fat rats were running all around the building.
Literally just got a medical bill in the mail from the delivery of kiddo #2. Her first birthday was on Saturday…
The Healthcare system is irretrievably fucked.
Damn. We got ours a couple of weeks later but without insurance, we have been on the hook for a shit ton of money.
The Healthcare system is irretrievably fucked.
Muh Canadian provincial healthcare system would like a word.
Yeah, we are looking at some of the MediShare systems right now. I am trying my damndest to leave that fucked up model behind.
I had a pleasant, and very unexpected, surprise today. My agency had a town hall to let the managers know how we are supposed to validate vaccination status for our staff. They also talked about the medical and religious exemptions. For the religious exemptions, the stance was basically that there was no objective way to measure whether a belief was “deeply held” and therefore they would basically take a very liberal approach to granting the exemptions. They raised the point that we have been in a max telework environment for the past 18 months and that we seem to be doing just fine. So the reasonable accommodation that they will give those with an exemption was that they could continue working from home, but that they would have to follow the steps (negative test, masks, social distancing) when they did have to come into the office.
I wasn’t expecting that to be the result…
Excellent.
Federal-mandate aside (we have some fat govt contracts), I suspect that’s how my company is leaning. They’re trying hard to limit the impact, AFAICT.
Awesome!
FedGov agency?
Yes, federal government.
Good to know. I would assume, though I shouldn’t, it would be Executive level wide such a directive.
That’s good.
ICYMI final reminder: If there is a Zoom on Wednesday, I will buy any veteran that attends a drink*, in honor of Veteran’s Day.
*I’ll send $5 via the electronic payment system of your choice
$5, same as downtown.
Save my $5 and give it to the guy who screams at clouds
So my kids’ friend whose asshole father took her to get vaccinated without the consent of his ex-wife (or the kid’s) just went back to the Walgreens with her mother and told the pharmacist that she was vaccinated against her will.
Wish I could have seen the look on the pharmacist’s face.
That’s probably illegal. Had it been an abortion, however……………….
With any luck, it will end his custody rights.
I’ve heard stories of exes who use the kids against their former spouses, but never seen it up close. The guy is deranged and has been putting the kids thru hell for the past four years.
It was for the greater good and nothing will happen, depending on the state of course.
Pfizer can’t even research and produce a meme correctly.

That’s awful, but they very good at one thing — making money.
Turned off replies. Nice.
I like how Pfizer limited replies.
SCIENCE SMITH SAY RELAX!
So once science has your back you have that Peloton ‘help me face” and start sweating?
Is that real? That can’t be real? Is the bubblegum monster going to have its way with the grey person?
SCIENCE SMITH LOVE GRAY PEOPLE
This highlights why I was less than enthusiastic about the VA elections. Just because somebody has an R after their name doesn’t mean they aren’t a squish on woke marxist culture.
I was aware of that BS early in the primaries.
That said, I’d vote for the corpse of Pinochet over any Democrat right now.
I doubt many people actually think Youngkin’s freaking awesome. He’s just the not McAuliffe which is a bit better than the not not McAuliffe and that’s about it.
A friend of mine that lives in NOVA doesn’t like Youngkin but loathes McAuliffe. He voted for Youngkin to keep McAulliffe away from office.

Amen!
Hey, it’s a slow night in Da 1/4, the barkers and buskers outnumber the pedestrian traffic.

Ah, Cat’s Meow. I have been very drunk in there several times.
Re: this exchange, below:
I’m not able to see it, Twitter always wants a login. What was said earlier?
I wish my mom could be red pilled.
But I think she has a bad case of NPR poisoning.
I’m slowly red pilling my wife. While she’s not a flown blown libertarian, she’s less susceptible to the media’s lies and the government’s bullshit.
Phrasing!

Wait, what?
Finally reading through Ozy’s post from earlier. I found my response to my bosses next time they ask me I don’t want to be vaccinated:
I have a “fundamental human right to be free of unwanted medical interventions”
Why I don’t want to be…
Damnit I even proof read it.
Wait… Wut??? Where’s muh hipster juice? This is a trick isn’t it? I’ve already not fallen for enought tricks today.
Good bejeebus, what a day.
My wife decided to go back to work, and she’ll be working for… wait for it… the federal fucking government, lolololol! This is going to be great! But at least she’s 100% remote, like me, so that works.
And then, I’m sitting here relaxing at 7:30pm. I know that’s not late, but it’s been a long day and so I was already chill and in my bathrobe and and my wife comes here and says ‘can you talk to this guy at the door? I don’t know what he wants’. So I go to the front door, jammies and bathrobe, and it’s this guy who works for some crony company of BGE and he wants to sell me solar panels. And I said ‘Man, these are rentals’. So then he starts his thing about ‘dirty energy’ and apparently wants me to sign his petition. So I said ‘How are you saving me money?’. And he starts again about ‘dirty energy’ and I said ‘Man, you see I’m pretty much chilled for the evening? I don’t really want to talk to you, send me an email or something’. And he says ‘Oh I don’t have your email address’. And I said ‘Yeah, and you’re not getting it, good night’.
Goddamnit, get a real fucking job and leave me alone!
James O’Keefe on Hannity about the FBI raid on O’Keefe’s apartment.
In the interview, it came up that the Feds now have some or all of Project Veritas’ donor information.
So they found what they were looking for.
We’re getting closer and closer to a Soviet or Chicom like system, so you at least have to give them credit for making progess.
Totalitarians/communists are always and everywhere the same. Most people dont remember what the Soviets were like. They also think ‘That cant happen here’. It is happening right in front of their noses and they cant see it. Sadly we are stuck with those dunces.
Humans = trash.
Yeah, turns out the hairless monkeys are not as impressive as we once thought.
Some humans, not all.
It is entirely possible to rise above baseline trash level.
Nah. We’re the smartest monkeys.
