DHS preparing for violence following abortion ruling
The U.S. government is bracing for a potential surge in political violence once the Supreme Court hands down the ruling that’s expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Axios.
The big picture: Law enforcement agencies are investigating social-media threats to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their clerks, as well as attacks targeting places of worship and abortion clinics.
Details: The unclassified May 13 memo by DHS’ intelligence arm says threats that followed the leak of a draft opinion — targeting Supreme Court Justices, lawmakers and other public officials, as well as clergy and health care providers — “are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling.”
None dare call it a coup except the people we will just ignore.
Wow…
Dammit! I wasn’t even first!
See, your internet isn’t that latent….
Ooh, we’re back!
So there’s boys and tampon-wearing people.
Birthing people.
Chestfeeders.

I like these, keep them coming.
woot! We’re back! Thanks to everybody scurrying behind the scenes to halt the Squirrel Coup. This is a triumph Of Our Democracy.
Indeed. At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I can’t see numbers next to comments. Is it just my phone or is everyone having that issue?
Huzzah!
I thought the Disinformation Governance Board took down the site on the way out.
That was the best news of the day. If ‘she’ took down this site it would no doubt be replaced by Harry Potter porn.
I wondered if somebody had to smash the self destruct button.
Don’t joke…that is a possibility.
I know, I was concerned that was a possibility.
Glad it was unfounded this time.
Instead, she turned on the sidebar.
*ducks*
Joemala was so bad the site decided to quit?
You could understand if it was one of the really nausea inducing ones, but it wasn’t.
It was a little extra truthy today…
The Disinformation Governance Board hates that.
Yeah, great, back online…now about that sidebar…
?
Thanks BBC. Of course I can’t get over there.

I know I’m pickier than a lot of eaters, but… nope. I won’t touch that. ?
Why? It’s just potatoes.
Sweet potato is only distantly related to the common potato
I know, but I just don’t see what is to dislike about them.
They’re not letting it rot for a month like other disgusting Japanese foods, are they?
They go both ways still wriggling and rotting.
Natto is a big no from me, but miso is just fine.
I don’t know what the Japanese are doing to them, but sweet potatoes taste horrible all on their own to me.
Something about the 5th Circuit and the SEC:
https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/20/20-61007-CV0.pdf
The proggie froggies are running around in circles and bumping into each other on the Twitter, talking about how the Federal bureaucracy won’t be able to enforce any regulations, any more, and I am trying not to get my hopes up.
I marked it to read later. Seems to be a trend of suing the SEC for unfair action. But I don’t think that will make the SEC change.
A meme:

Site failed out right as I was making the links, but I had at least scheduled and saved my progress.
So it was an actual failure? Scary.
The squirrel named Jack!
Just Jack!
Is that like a pimp named slickback?
The pimp is named PepperJack.
I mean, come on!
PepperJack gonna cut someone!

I had a witty reply all made to your article about Harris not doing the only thing she is supposed to do constitutionally.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/17/kamala-harris-senate-ties-00032949
It broke right when I tried to post it…
Did we get a head count? Every OK?
I still have only the one, on my shoulders.
Present. I emailed Tundra earlier and he’s ok.
Mike S and Fourscore are accounted for.
Rep. Chip Roy of TX has sponsored HR 419 which pulls the USA out of the WHO

That was a one long ass minute.
Time is a colonizer construct, you cishet patriarchalist.
*applause*
It said check back in a minute, not which minute.
“EVERYTHING you need to know about monkeypox: Strain ‘transmits through sex’ and is about as deadly as the Wuhan Covid variant — but a vaccine does exist
The majority of patients in the UK are gay or bisexual men, as are the eight Spanish men suspected of having the disease.
Portuguese officials have confirmed five men tested positive and over a dozen more are thought to be infected.
Health chiefs in the UK say the pattern of transmission is ‘highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks’.
Until now monkeypox had only been detected in four countries outside of Africa — the UK, US, Israel and Singapore, all of whom had links to Nigeria and Ghana.
Infections are more common in central and western Africa, where they can result from direct contact with infected animals.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10826157/Q-deadly-monkeypox-cure-treated-worried-be.html
“direct contact”
Eeeeewww.
Now is the perfect time for a reminder:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5AuLkMBAFZg
Somebody’s monkeying around
As deadly as Wuhan flu?
Better lock all the gays up until they create a vaccine and then, mandatory condoms at all times, especially little kids. *Rolls eyes*
Don’t spank someone else’s monkey!
I saw a rainbow colored pet paw sticker on a car today and wondered what it meant. I think I understand now.
“Almost half of President Biden’s Twitter followers are FAKE, audit reveals as Elon Musk puts deal to buy Big Tech giant on hold over bots”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10829675/Almost-half-President-Bidens-Twitter-followers-FAKE-audit-reveals.html
Same is true of Donald Trump. Wonder how many of Elon’s followers are bots?
If that company can analyze twitter so well, why doesn’t Elon use them to look at everything on Twitter?
Also it would be hilarious if the people who link most to twitter’s twats are on this theead.
Elon is playing some kind of game here, backed by Twitter’s SEC filings. I’m guessing either he’ll be able to pursue either backing out of the deal with no cost while revealing Twitter to be a house of cards or the valuation will drop enough to be a firehouse sale.
It’s fun to watch them being destroyed either way.
I saw it being reported that 1/4 of Elon’s followers were fake. Can’t find it, though, and don’t care to spend much time looking, so take that with a large grain of salt.
“There are a few obvious reasons for the CDC having made the change. One is that the rise of at-home testing as an evaluation metric has meant more cases that are going unreported.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/05/18/even-cdc-america-gets-two-very-different-pandemic-messages/
I can come up with a few more, most involving lack of an orange man and some upcoming elections.
*Kramer entrance*
Is everyone okay? A lot can happen in a minute.
Apparently, we are supposed to start liking yams. And That Is Not OK!
But I already like yams…

So who will protect this house?
So VA glibs – are we set on 1130 Sat at Gourmeltz?
I don’t condone the vandalism and cost to residents, but awesome!

Interesting 5th circuit case limiting the SEC. Probably more news tomorrow. Great precedent- but may get held up at Supreme.

Ye Gods! That would be wonderful.
There are a lot of people in that thread lamenting the possible death of the administrative state. We’d all be so much happier with a national divorce.
Well, the nighttime post is up.
I’m a little concerned about how much the outage threw off my day.
I either have a serious problem or you all are the best people I sort of know.
Regardless, nice to see you all back!
/smiles from under helmet…
Right… that was unsettling.
For myself, I’m gonna go with both.
I won’t say I had a panic attack, but I did check back an inordinate number of times to see if Glibs was back.
Me too, finally had get professional help in the form of Tundra and Jimbo
I just sent dick pics to GT. That made me feel better.
I also.
Both.
Zoom, you say? Of course there will be a mid-week GlibZoom, hosted by Tulip.
Hey hey, transgender Tarentino got laid off:

I’m sure they’ll continue to do the same things behind the scenes with even less accountability but it’s still a win.

Update: Normally I don’t make adjustments for late entries but with the technical issues today I feels it’s only fair to make an exception- kinnath is today’s champ with an 18, Sorry Mr. Mayor.
Okay, look. I call foul on bottom right.
It took me an inordinate amount of time to get it even with 4 letters, but it’s a legit word in my opinion. Yes it’s borrowed from a foreign language but it’s common enough.
Yes, legit word. It also could have been the one I picked, with 2 letters switched, which was not it.
Of course I come in late today. And bottom left ate my lunch or I would have had my best one yet.

1. I’ll echo everyone else’s comments on the site being down. I was checking from different devices, wondering if I did something wrong.
Perhaps a little too concerned…?
2. Also, is there any chance that among you malcontents there is someone who is admitted in the E.D. TX and willing to allow me to file a complaint there?
It’s 500+ military folks against the vax mandates and I’m happy to provide a copy and explanation if someone has concerns that need mollifying.
I’ll pay for any attorney’s or paralegal’s time for the 30 or so minutes to file it.
I have someone to PHV me and my co-counsel in. It’s got some urgency because my clients are being systematically discharged.
TPTB know they have my permission to give out email – doesn’t take too much searching to find out who I am from this site.
Aren’t you that gay dude from GI Jane?
Is there a zoom or what?
I waxed my sack for no reason ?
GAH! Why are people today obsessed with removing all pubic hair?!? It’s there for a reason, and if you’re not STEVE SMITH, it’s probably not even a scary pelt.
I dislike “stubble” waaaay more than nice comfy fur. Yeah, you can “eeeww” all you want; we ain’t gonna fuck so go right ahead.
I find it a little creepy that some dudes insist on a totally “bald” c*nt. You want your 25 year old paramour to look like she’s 8 years old down there? Ok….
Agreed about the baldness but I came of age in the ‘80s and a bit of hair was the norm. I don’t get it either.
True confessions:
I absolutely HATE being around my 5 yr old grandson. He is cute as a bug to look at but he has the heart of Satan. He really tries to hurt his older brother (10 yrs old) and to annoy (primarily through pool antics) the rest of his family, an in mom and dad, and occasionally grandpa (my husband) and me.
I have absolutely zero tolerance for misbehavior so I am the Bad Guy, but that’s totally cool because I don’t want the little self absorbed snot factory near me anyway.
I am trying to survive having my step-grand daughter, her husband and their two sons being at our house this week.
I know I’m supposed to post how awesome it is, but the stepdaughter is a total leftwinger, kids are undisciplined hell-childs.
I take comfort in the knowledge that they go away Friday
Throwing them into the pool has been the best idea so far.
Some children are Hell-Spawn. My fist Grandson being such an example. They usually grow out of it when put to task. He’s going north to work on a road crew this summer. Big bucks and hopefully some more “manly” men to knock his shit for brains into compliance. Not to worry, hayeks, this too shall pass.
How quickly will he quit?

Why isn’t the latest article showing up damnit?
Not sure, but you can navigate from the bottom of this article to the next one(s).
ummm…how?
Hallooooo?
I didn’t know I was addicted to Glibs until I couldn’t get my fix today.
After a couple of days of watching the grandkids absorb terrible tv shows meant for them (no intellectual stimulation, lots of speech impediments to reinforce their own, vapid plots etc) I put on Secret of NIMH.
They were enthralled. It’s kind of scary at times. They liked the animation and humor, and they asked pertinent questions.
Then their (literal) trailer park mom and dad stopped it all and put them in the car to pass time. Weird. They (parent) don’t seem to even notice what the kids are watching and how it affects them for good or I’ll.
I can identify. My brother and sister in law seem to be oblivious to the life lessons their kids are or are not learning and seem content to parent through distraction (tv/video games/board games) the majority of the time. They also refuse to enforce boundaries with adults; interrupting conversations and demanding adults attention non-stop is the norm. When I was a kid we were expected to play independently and interrupt minimally, an expectation my brother doesn’t seem to want to pass on.
