Joemala: Episode 47

“I p-p-p-pass an infrastructure bill and still no one likes me,” Hunter says, sitting in his father’s fake office chair in the fake Oval Office the White House staff had built for Joe to be filmed in.

A girl with scabs on her face walks in, teetering on stripper heels, straightening her red wig and saying, “I tolds them not complain about ya at the press cwonfrance.”

“Thank you, Jen, my juicy Strawberry,” Hunter said.

“Am I suppose to take my clothes off now?” she asked, picking at her face with long fake nails.

“The script says to wait until the copy repair guy comes in,” Hunter hissed.

“Aren’t you the copy repair guy?” she asked. She begins to cough, a wet, rattling in her chest. A glob of phlegm, greenish in the klieg lights, flys across the set.

“No, I’m The President,” Hunter says. “Didn’t you read the script?”

“I can’t read,” she says. “I have dysmorphia.”

“You mean dyslexia?”

“I’m am not defined by my disease,” she says robotically, a rehearsed response. “I am a victim of society’s failure to help the downtrodden.”

“OK, back to one!’ Hunter says.

A make-up artist scurries out of the shadows and begins to powder his face lightly. A production assistant wearing gloves herds the fake Jen back to her mark.

“More rouge on my cock,” he says.

“It already looks like a dog erection,” the make-up artist murmurs.

“Redder, goddammit! I want it to look like a flaming sword of justice!”

“It’ll all just come off in her.”

“Then she’ll have a flaming vagina of justice!”

“I need ta take a shit!” fake Jen screams off stage.

“Hold it for Act II!” Hunter screams back and waves the make-up girl away.

“Hurry!” she says. “You said I needed ta be ready ta go!”

“Fuck,” Hunter says. “Fuck, fuck, fuck.” And then: “Where’s Rodney?!?”

A skinny little hillbilly comes running up, looking around. He asks, “Hey, I ain’t on camera, am I? You said I didn’t have to be on no camera.”

“Give it to me,” Hunter said.

Rodney makes an elaborate show of checking his cheap little watch. “Now you said not to no give you none before lunch. And we gots at least half-hour ‘fore lunch.”

“Now, dammit, now,” Hunter says.

“OK, but don’t you go getting all mad at me later on. I don’ts want to hear no hollar’n.” Rodney brings out the glass pipe and a baggie of filthy yellow meth chunks.

Hunter leans back as Rodney gets the pipe ready. The actress playing his niece Finnegan is laughing somewhere in the press area and practicing her Delaware accent. She is dressed in a tear-away Japanese schoolgirl outfit.

“OK, big man,” Rodney says. Hunter doesn’t open his eyes until the pipe is in his mouth and the butane torch begins to hiss.

Inhalation, little fireworks going off, his lungs hitching once, twice in rebellion. He exhales slowly, bathing his erection in smoke. Bliss.

“I still gotta shit, ya know!” scabby Jen yells.

“I know!” Hunter roars, his rouged cock bobbing to a beat only he can hear.

    Yesterday morning one of my dogs woke me up at dawn (normal) sporting a huge red erection (not normal). It was a pretty horrific sight to wake up to. I admit to busting up laughing while reading this.

  10. Jerms

    God how do you think of this stuff? I’ve never read anything like it.

    Berenson reporting OSHA dropped the mandate and media not reporting.

    • The Other Kevin

      From what I’ve seen it’s pending the outcome of litigation. So not a huge win, but at least they’re not just ignoring the lawsuits like Biden asked them to.

      • DEG

        Yes.

        If the litigation goes their way, they’ll be back on implementing the mandate.

    • Plisade

      Link, please?

      • Gustave Lytton

        My cynical self notes that they aren’t even suspending the directive itself, but just enforcement. So companies can still use as an excuse to either require it based on that alone or to avoid penalties under future compliance.

        Yeah, while my first reading of this made me very happy it didn’t take long for the elation to crash back down. Basically all this says is, “Look how magnanimous we are not following Biden’s illegal order to carry on enforcing his illegal mandate, until a corrupt court has a chance to legitimize our illegal enforcement of said illegal mandate”.

      • kbolino

        When asking the question, “why are so many companies doing [something] so eagerly?” the answer is simply incentives: they have been asked to do it and will be rewarded for it (by their investors) and they will be shielded from liability and punishment (by the government).

        Or, to put it another way, OSHA is just a bit player in this drama.

      • R C Dean

        will be rewarded for it (by their investors)

        Not so much by their investors (most public company executives have approximately zero contact with anyone who buys their stock other than their fellow execs).

        Its by their peer group, other members of the ruling/managerial elite. Just like the hysterical rush to impement CRT training – they do it for strokes at cocktail parties, not because it raises their share price.

      • kbolino

        Ruling/managerial elite includes C-suite and board members of public companies, gov’t/nonprofit/NGO complex, and large institutional investors (BlackRock, Vanguard, FRTIB, CalPERS, etc.). You are right that this is spread through socialization, but public-company CEOs’ social set includes representation of their investors, whether directly or indirectly.

    Just got an email from UPS saying there’s a smoked turkey on my front porch. Considering leaving work early to prevent wandering bears from eating it.

        Yeah. Why is UPS sending notifications?

      I think Tonio can restrain himself!

      • Not Adahn

        Only because he hasn’t has an Oscar’s smoked turkey.

    • WTF

      Mike Lindell, a Trump supporter and proponent of discredited claims the 2020 election was stolen.

      I must have missed where the claims were actually discredited, seeing as they’ve never even been seriously investigated.

      • B.P.

        Weird, I’ve never seen a host of debunked stuff, be it Russia collusion, Steele dossier, police misconduct concerning that guy in Furguson, MO, numerous elections where Democrats claim irregularities, etc., being characterized as “discredited claims”.

      • WTF

        Odd how it only goes one way, eh?

    • juris imprudent

      It would be amusing for them to one day do one of these gonzo raids and suddenly find themselves in the entry of a home surrounded by claymores. Maybe then they’d think about going back to knocking on the door and presenting the warrant before doing a dynamic entry.

      • Gustave Lytton

        No, that would only be used as further proof of domestic terrorism and why they need even less knockier raids.

      • juris imprudent

        Just turn it into a Saw scenario – when you kill the dirty cop, the rest can go free.

      • Bobarian LMD

        So, you’re not letting any of them go?

      • R C Dean

        Just seeing which one the others turn on first.

        Cue “I never said there was only one dirty cop” when they look all confused when the door doesn’t unlock after they greased one of their colleagues.

      • WTF

        knocking on the door and presenting the warrant before doing a dynamic entry

        Like in accordance with the constitution?
        C’mon, man, that thing was written 100 years ago by white guys!

      • juris imprudent

        We can all thank the War on Drugs for this, after all, that gram might get flushed down the toilet if we can’t crash through the door.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Pay no attention to why a county DA is obtaining and serving federal court warrants.

    • Rebel Scum

      Meanwhile in VA they want to recount until they find enough ballots to maintain control of the house.

      Two incumbent Democrats who trail Republican challengers in close races in Virginia’s House of Delegates announced Tuesday that they will seek recounts, leaving control of the House in limbo.

      Republicans have won 50 seats and Democrats have won 48. Republicans hold razor-thin margins in the two remaining races that are headed to a recount, according to certified results from the Nov. 2 election, leaving open a remote possibility of a 50-50 split in the chamber.

      The Associated Press hasn’t called those two races: District 91, where Republican A.C. Cordoza leads Democratic Del. Martha Mugler by 94 votes out of 27,388 votes counted; and District 85, where Republican Karen Greenhalgh leads Democratic Del. Alex Askew by 127 votes out of 28,413 votes counted. The margin in both races is under 0.5%, which allows losing candidates to request state-funded recounts.

    https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/11/16/are-the-fully-vaccinated-developing-covid-19-vaccine-induced-acquired-immunodeficiency-syndrome/

    This again cannot be explained away by the fact that the vaccines are ineffective, but can only be explained by the fact that the vaccines must make the recipient worse and do this by decimating the immune system.

    The question is what’s causing this. The fact that the UK Health Security Agency have admitted the fully vaccinated are much less capable of producing N-antibodies following infection, suggests the much-feared antibody-dependent-enhancement may be at play here.

    However, this wouldn’t explain the decimated immune system performance in the fully vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated.

    Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a condition that is thought to be caused solely by the alleged HIV virus, and it leads to the loss of immune cells and leaves individuals susceptible to other infections and the development of certain types of cancers. In other words, it completely decimates the immune system.

    Therefore, could we be seeing some new form of Covid-19 vaccine induced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome?

    Gonna be a rough winter, if true.

    • juris imprudent

      Could end up a very wet spring/summer, what with the rivers of blood flowing.

      I am deeply suspicious of the reliability of this source.

      • EvilSheldon

        Yep, I caught that too.

      • Sean

        I figured someone would focus on the “decimates” usage.

      • Bobarian LMD

        10%, baby!

      • EvilSheldon

        I’m okay with using ‘decimate’ as a colloquial for ‘to inflict large losses upon’.

      • Suthenboy

        Trying to catch up before taking off to the grocery store so reading fast and even I caught that. Alleged? WTF?

      • PutridMeat

        Data is data, regardless whether they “allege” HIV virus.

        That said, I’m more concerned from a quick skim that they seem to switch from rates when it comes to cases, which makes the vaccines look very bad, to absolute numbers in hospitalizations and deaths, which also makes the vaccines “look” bad, but largely because they are an increasing fraction of the population. In hospitalization and death, the rates actually make the vaccine’s look good. So the switching between is troubling and is no different than what Pfauci has been doing. This doesn’t help. They do seem to be looking at changes with time within the vaccine group in those metrics, so there maybe something there. But a quick, not very careful reading – that switch really jumped out at me. Especially since they pointed out the disingenuous vaccine trial practice of reporting only relative risk; they know something about statistics and how to manipulate them.

        Again, will take a more careful read to figure out what’s going on. Don’t know if I have the energy for that today.

        I am amazed sometimes at the number of people who are falling for the rope-a-dope.

        Ignore it: didn’t work
        Hug an Asian: didn’t work
        Two weeks of lockdown: didn’t work
        Don’t buy masks: didn’t work
        Make respirators as fast as you can: didn’t work
        Extended lockdown, pay “non-essential” people to stay home: didn’t work
        Should wear masks: didn’t work
        Must wear masks: still didn’t work
        Vaccinate elderly and essential workers: didn’t work
        Vaccinate all the adults: didn’t work
        Vaccinate older children too: already isn’t working
        Vaccinate all the children and give everybody boosters too: totally gonna work this time guys

        It’s over when people want it to be over, and they don’t want it to be over

      • Suthenboy

        It should also be noted that none of the numbers we have gotten are genuine. We really have no idea what is going on.
        Whut? Died with or from? It makes one hellofa difference.
        Cases? Serious illness, asymptomatic? The accuracy of the tests are crap to begin with. Even taking out the false results we cant know what they mean because the people counting are torturing the data so badly.

        It is not hyperbole to characterize this ‘pandemic’ as the biggest clusterfuck in history, one designed, implemented and guided by some of the most mendacious and incompetent people in history.

        What is it with people and their apocalypse fantasies? It makes them feel important? They cant bear to think ‘cemeteries are filled with indispensable men’. The world was spinning before I got here and after I am gone it will keep on spinning. I will be forgotten in no time and nothing will change.
        I guess people cant bear that. Ever notice that people who recount past lives are always someone famous. They never say ‘ I was a medieval serf. Nothing exciting happened and people barely noticed me when I was here. That life meant nothing in the great scheme of things.’
        Nope, always someone famous or important. The apocalypse fantasy is driven by the same motive. “I was here at one of the great pivotal moments in human history. Yes, I was a part of that.”
        Sure buddy, you matter. You will be one of the brave and noble who will struggle on to save humanity, not one of the billions that die right off of the bat when it gets started.

        People are so tiresome.

      • grrizzly

        It’s not just the authorities. The people who accepted the vaccines as the ultimate solution to the pandemic don’t want to accept their mistake either. It’s easier to take a booster than to admit that getting the first two injections was a mistake. Who wants to realize that they played Russian roulette and survived?

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        I’m happy to admit I survived my teenage and college years.

      • juris imprudent

        Yeah, I think I’ve survived worse than a mostly useless injection.

  18. Mojeaux

    *sigh*

    Husband’s work just initiated a change in their procedures that make it effectively impossible for my husband to do his job right. So, because it concerns Adobe Acrobat, he came to me to find out what’s wrong (the glories of WFH). I told him what was wrong. Somebody 2 levels up from him is doing it, though, so he’s having to explain this to his boss and it has to go up the chain to whoever made the change.

    This makes me very grateful I am a one-chick shop.

    • ignoreLander

      the glories of WFH

      If I’d known years ago what I’ve learned in the past year and a half, working from home, I would have set my trajectory to becoming a one man shop. I can work very easily from home with minimal equipment, I need minimal contact with co-workers and none with clients, all of which is easily handled via email or Microsoft Teams.

      Besides the “losing-my-job-because-I’m-not-jabbed” thing. And even though I’m largely autonomous, I’m not THE BOSS. And if there’s one thing I HATE about corporate work, it’s having a boss….

      So I feel you, and good on you for it….

      I’ll return the favor. This one actually surprised. The studio version is voice doubled and auto-tuned. I assumed she couldn’t sing, but she can and her phrasing is really strong. This is a difficult song to sing.

      The channel itself is worth surfing through. The hook is all the songs are done in one take and done live. If you aren’t good performer you won’t likely want to be on it.

        I could also have responded 能 instead.

    • juris imprudent

      But, but, but they said they didn’t know, which of course explains why he was never subpoenaed to testify, for either prosecution or defense.

    • Suthenboy

      It would not be hard to convince me that the prosecution indicted Kyle because of political pressure, knew it was bullshit and thus did everything they could to throw the case.

      On the other hand it would not be hard to convince me that they are just banana republic monkeys doing what banana republic monkeys do.

    • DEG

      There is some discussion on the Rekieta Law stream about new evidence.

      The stream from the courtroom is about debate over the video that the prosecutor did not turn over.

      • Rebel Scum

        Hi-res video. Tampered evidence. The white haired lady just buried the prosecution.

    • The Other Kevin

      This thing is turning into even more of a shits how before our eyes. On Rekieta they’re showing the difference between the state’s video, and the grainy low-res version the state gave the defense. There is a huge difference. But the judge is allowing them to continue deliberating, I would guess in the hope that they acquit so they face the mob instead of him.

      And speaking of the mob, the jury wanted to see some of the videos again, but by law they have to do that in the courtroom. In the live stream of the courtroom you can clearly hear protesters shouting. Because that won’t influence the jury in any way.

  21. Suthenboy

    I swear to God they do it on purpose. I have a great flashlight but it has one serious design flaw. The cap that holds the batteries in is a threaded cap…both the cap and body of the light are aluminum. Ok, if you are going to thread aluminum could. you please not make the threads microscopically tiny? Jesus fuck, the slightest pressure when it is misthreaded and you have fucked it up and it is not easy to thread properly to start with.
    Ok, so I am researching flashlights this morning and I find some incredible stuff. One problem all of the best, brightest lights have in common: they all have non-removable, rechargeable battery packs.
    Goddammit. I want a bright light with easy to find removable batteries. Why would I need a flashlight? Ahhhh because the electricity is out. Even when it is not I dont want to wait hours to recharge a light. I want to spend 20 seconds putting fresh batteries in out of the store of batteries I keep on hand.
    What is the cause of the cognitive impairment that flashlight designers suffer from? Dope? Dropped on their heads? Brain tumors?

    WTF guys?

    • Tundra

      *quietly leaves Suthen’s lawn*

    • ignoreLander

      One of the greatest design flaws I ever saw was when I bought my PS3 and discovered the controller (one) was rechargeable only via USB, with no removeable battery. That means if I’m playing fast and furious and I found a really great game and I want to finish it through to the end, woe is me if the battery goes out in the middle (which it will because of the haptic feedback and the blue light on it).

      Now I have to turn off the game, plug in my controller and wait 3 hours for it to charge, completely ruining my immersion.

      Wait what’s that? All I need to do is buy another $100 controller and keep it charged so I can play through when that happens? Genius! Maybe it’s not a design flaw after all, eh Sony?

      • rhywun

        Good grief, even Xbox controllers use regular batteries.

        Silly me, I just bought a long USB cable for those situations.

        Silly me, I just bought a long USB cable for those situations.

        Tried that, for whatever reason it wouldn’t charge with the long one. At those times I just played my 360 where I could replace the AA batteries at will.

        Of course, no skin off Sony’s back, they already had my money.

        Besides, if I wanted to play cord-tethered to a console, I’d dig out my Atari 2600. That should have gone out with the 90s.

      I’m partial to the new stuff, personally. Rechargeable, high lumen LED stuff. Fenix, Thru nite, etc.

      You could always go old school.

      That’s starting to sound like the conversation I had with some design engineers concerning using a large number of #2 machine screws into blind threaded holes instead of switching to a thicker cover, a larger screw, and lowering the count.

      For some reason they couldn’t grok that the fine pitch of the threads and number of threaded holes contributed directly to the production yield issues.

      I’m almost as much of a flashlight nerd as a gun nerd. What are you looking for?

        He’s gonna need an EDC light, a special occasion EDC light, a Jeep light, a back up Jeep light, 3 house flashlights, 2 camping lanterns, and really powerful thrower for showing off.

        ^^ Starter kit.

        Get out of my head!

        Bright, reliable, replaceable batteries but doesnt go through batteries like my wife goes through potato chips.
        I have a bin around here somewhere full to the top of crap flashlights. The one I am about to toss on the top of that pile is 1000 lumens, removable batteries but the cap is aluminum and shallow threaded about 40 threads per inch. Yes, I cross threaded it and now it will not hold in the batteries.
        I want at least 1000 lumens (I see from reviews that hand-held lights now advertise up to 100K lumens). Rugged, impossible for even me to fuck up.
        I want a light I can count on and not have to treat it like it is made of sugar candy. A focusable beam would be nice but not a necessity.
        Sean’s suggestion above is not bad. I have one of those. 4-D batteries make one hell of a good club but those incandescent bulbs are not bright enough to suit me.

        I am off to the store. I will check back in in about an hour.

        My keychain flashlight is a freebie that Olight sent me a couple/three years back.

        It takes a single AAA, has been riding in my pocket with my keys for more than two years, and still works. I most recently used it last night at the dog park to clean up after the pup.

      I bet some sort of environmental regulation is being followed.

        I bought one of those for my boss (for xmas).

      • slumbrew

        The one I bought in March 2017 just suddenly died – switch, maybe? – but that was a pretty good run for something that gets used every single day and gets dropped all the time (dog-walking flashlight).

        So I bought 2 more (including that swanky grey color)

      From your description you are talking about a MagLight? I switched to LED Lenser with great results. They still make flashlights powered by regular batteries. I have two inspection lights and a brighter hand held flashlight for nighttime. All have been good.

    Finnegan is Hunter’s daughter, not his niece, no?

    • Not Adahn

      Why would you think the two are necessarily different?

      What’s the frequency, Tony?

      I can’t read another one of those fucking articles. “Grim forecasts”, “jabs in arms”, herpity derpity doo. Every one is a carbon copy of the last one.

        I find it fascinating how they keep adjusting their narrative and the language involved.
