Busy here, but nothing to bore you with. Lets go straight to what you came here for: news beyond the wall.
Can I say something controversial about Batman? Fuck Batman.
Don’t go to Mexico, you might get robbed by the Federales catch COVID.
You sure you couldn’t just issue a Letter of Marque there Lil Marco?
I am inclined to believe this, given the theories I’ve come across from people that aren’t dumb.
This weeks sign the empire is dying: Summit of Americas…
- Not only did Mexico not show up, they criticized the US and NATO
- China is the biggest trading partner in the region, if you exclude US trade with Mexico as an outlier.
- Bolsonaro wasn’t exactly cordial with team Brandon, and he can do that with relative impunity, since his country actually has economic growth.
Fun times. Here’s a tune to round this out. Have a great Tuesday.
Aztec Batman… *SPOILER ALERT*
…
…
…
…
…
He loses. The Spanish win.
“¡Ay, caramba!”
Olé
Not Puma Man?
Nooooooooo! Now I have that damned theme music going through my head!
(And no, never Puma Man… get the sidekick that could actually do things [I forget his name and don’t care enough to look it up] instead…)
“The fat-free yogurt that’s not short on flavor!”
“Puma… Man… he flies like a moron….”
Meh… Mexican Batman has been done before – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batmen_of_All_Nations
Mexican Batwoman or go home.

Wears a bikini and kicks butt the whole movie.
Oooh… that’s right up my alley, thank you.
I picked this up earlier today – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Dev_Adam
3Giant men, or
Santo and Captain America versus Spiderman.
“Batmanuel”
I think you mean Die Fledermaus!
I seem to recall that the animated series had Batmanuel, too, but the fandom link only mentions the live action show.
Live action series Bat Man well was played by the wonderful Nestor Carbonel.
So… Ben Edlund (who created the Tick), sold the animated rights to Fox Kids, who made the animated show. Several characters were made up for the animated show and were not in any comic book first (Die Fledermaus, American Maid, Sewer Urchin, and SPEAK among them). Since the characters were made for the animated show, Fox Kids owned the rights to them, not Ben Edlund. When Fox bought the rights to do a live action television show, Fox Kids wouldn’t license the animated characters to be used in a live action show.
So… they made up the new characters for the live action show. Showing that Fox has been fucking up good things for as long as people can remember.
ah, so.
“Fox Kids” wouldn’t license rights to “Fox?”
Are they somehow distinct in ownership?
db:
I believe they’re distinct corporate entities. I also believe the request to license the characters came about when they were working on creating the pilot. But after Fox picked it up, Fox Kids still wouldn’t license the characters. I’ve seen reported by several places that Ben really wishes that he could use SPEAK the dog (and that SPEAK was his favorite character ever)..
I guess that makes sense in a twisted entertainment-industry sort of way.
I can imagine some person in charge of licensing at Fox Kids having a grudge against a former colleague at FOX just doing that to fuck with them.
Batman’s helping the Aztecs? As bad as the conquistadors were, the Aztecs were worse. Much much worse.
Ripping out someone’s heart and offering it to the gods is no joke…. Bit of a riddle as to why he’d go along with it.
Maybe we can get Antarctic Batman yet who’s really based on Penguin.
Mr. Fucking Freeze would like a word.
Is that when he gives up on Nora and starts dating Crystal Frost?
That’s why he’s fucking.
Mr. Fucking Freeze would like a word.
Chill out?
Is Biden capable of yelling and casting blame elsewhere in TWO languages? Seems like he’s having trouble with just one.
I’ll take his stupid yelling over the creepy whisper any day.
Creepy whispers in Spanish? I see your point.
Joe : “Deseo oler tu cabello, niña.” Followed by, “¿Tus bragas están hechas de algodón?”
Yes, I used Google Translate. Sue me.
The creepy whisper tricks you into leaning closer and turning up the volume right before he starts yelling.
He knows a language other than old man gibberish?
“Escúchame, gordo.”
We had an Ecuadoran guy at work that used to call his white buddy ‘chancho gordo’.
I spammed the hell out of the dead thread in the last 10 minutes. Oh well.
I, too, didn’t see what time it was.
RESPECT MY LACK OF PUNCTUALITAH!
To my shame, you didn’t leave any comments after I did.
20 something years ago I came up with the idea that all homeschool families fall into one of 8 categories based on 3 independent variables:
Religious yes/no
Hippy yes/no
Libertarian yes/no
I was just reading through the dead thread so will carry over.
There’s a lot of overlap between your categories. Only the last category would really apply to my family. But I’m sure conservatives would consider my pro-drug legalization, anti-foreign intervention, conscription/the draft is slavery, modern school system is a prison views to be hippy.
I also applied to homeschool through a religious exemption. Doing so provides a level of freedom of oversight not granted to secular homeschoolers. It basically cuts through all of the red tape associated with homeschooling and the cut is permanent once the exemption is granted. I don’t see how a libertarian wouldn’t go the religious exemption route.
In an update on Monday, the health agency said the level of COVID-19 in Mexico was being upgraded from Level 2 (moderate) to Level 3 (high).
People who go to Mexico, it said, should be vaccinated, and those who are not should avoid travel to the country.
“If you are not up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines, avoid travel to Mexico,” the health agency said in its advisory. “Even if you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines, you may still be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19.”
The CDC can go fuck itself.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio has asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to request an Interpol red alert notice for the arrest of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro so he can be brought to the United States to face drug trafficking charges.
Manuel Noriega redux?
Though it does seem like we’re rehashing the 70’s, I think it’s too early for that sort of thing. We need a Reagan type figure first.
Who is the governor of Californ…oh nevermind.
Larry Elder?
Where’s that Nathan Fillian .gif where he’s trying to ask a question?
Or maybe someone can whip up a video where the Bob’s ask the vaccine, “What would you say you do here?”
Wait!
I got something for this:
All the Federales say
You can catch it anyway
But if you get the shot
You can visit, I suppose
Probably all the folks from California trying to move into Mexico per other news stories… Mexico should build a wall and make California pay for it or something.
Aztec Batman?
El Dorado says “What am I? Invisible?…… Oh, wait…”
López Obrador said Monday that the allies’ policy was equivalent to saying “I’ll supply the weapons, and you supply the dead. It is immoral.”
“How easy it is to say, ’Here, I’ll send you this much money for weapons,” Lopez Obrador said. “Couldn’t the war in Ukraine have been avoided? Of course it could.”
In March, a half-dozen legislators from López Obrador’s Morena party helped create a congressional “Mexico-Russia Friendship Committee.”
The Morena party said “we respect the freedom of thought of our members” after a youth group apparently affiliated with the party sent an open letter to the Russian ambassador supporting the invasion.
Mexico doesn’t seem to know its place.
How dare that guy be exactly right about US foreign policy’s
He’s also responsible for all the illegals crossing our border. So there’s that.
Is he? Or are we?
Chicken vs. Egg
“I’ll supply the weapons, and you supply the dead. It is immoral.”
Spot on.
The far-right incumbent trails leftist ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (2003-2010) in the polls. The Datafolha institute gave Lula 48 percent of the vote to 27 percent for Bolsonaro in a poll released last week.
Brazilians are hurting from soaring prices and sinking purchasing power.
Annual inflation currently stands at 12.13 percent, far above the central bank’s target of 3.5 percent.
Well, if there’s one sure way to combat inflation — it’s electing leftists.
Brazil is the country of the future… and always will be.
Heh. They’re gonna be in serious trouble if they put ‘Lula’ in again.
Your cheap LOL for this afternoon.
That was well done, but I’m not laughing.
Ya, no LOL At. All.

KDW eviscerates a couple of ABC “news” reporterettes. Fun read.
Emily Shapiro, Libby Cathey and Alexandra Hutzler
Serestro, Astra and Kaylieghburrow!
I guess KDW got tired by the time he got to the last para:
““[They] don’t believe there should be any restrictions on the types of ammunition you can buy, or . . . armor piercing . . . [they] feel like there shouldn’t be any restrictions since the Second Amendment is how we founded the country. It’s my God-given right. Well, God didn’t write the Constitution, nor amendments,”
It’s my God-given right. Well, God didn’t write the Constitution, nor amendments
Nope, still can’t have my guns.
Well this should make you smile.
Nothing like a common villain to rally the troops. That’s why they keep trying to bring him back.
Seriously? When the whole fucking world knows the vaccines don’t work? JFC on a popsicle stick.
What do you mean they don’t work? My vaxxed and boosted daughter just passed it to my vaccinated wife and probably to me. The bright side is that we also probably smuggled the virus into Canada on our road trip.
My daughter says she’s embarrassed that she caught it and that she thought was was superior enough to not catch it. She is superior. She’s my kid after all. But that isn’t going to protect her from the virus.
So *that’s* why The Twink of the North supposedly has it again!
The bright side is that we also probably smuggled the virus into Canada….
HA!
It’s just part of their mantra now. They will continue to assert the usefulness of the vaccine regardless of any evidence to the contrary. After all, if you’re vaccinated and you still catch COVID, well, just think of how much worse it would have been if you had never been jabbed in the first place!
I caught COVID two weeks ago for the first time. Pureblood. It was just a mild cold. If I hadn’t been travelling, maybe I wouldn’t have even noticed it. I abstained from alcohol–for a day. That was my sacrifice. Who needs the horse paste when aspirin and tea cure in no time?
Exactly. In all the fuss over alternative therapies for COVID and the whirlwind of spin caused by the middlewits about “horse paste” and “fish tank cleaner,” the fact that most healthy adults could ride it out without anything more than managing their symptoms just got lost.
My fiancée and I caught it just before New Year’s Eve and if it hadn’t been for the cough and the sore throat, we both would’ve assumed it was a really bad hangover (which it also partly was). So we solved it like a bad hangover – pedialyte and a huge boozy brunch after some tandem cardio. No change to daily life whatsoever.

You know, they did just meet with him. Hmmm…..
Did one of them decide to stay behind at the White House to take up a position as an intern? There are some Joemala storylines here.

His use of the term, “…my dudes?”
I can’t think of any other two-word phrase that makes me want to slap a bitch quite as hard…
She’s so confident she had to lock replies.
I would have figured this line of argument died after everybody and their dog got sick with the variant that blew around last winter, and yet the bodies of the unvaccinated were not being piled in the streets like cordwood.
Also, phrases like “my dudes” being uttered by wannabe elite bien pensants drive me up a fucking wall. Be professional or drop the dumb internet slang, you’re not fooling anyone.
Well, too bad I’m dead from constitutional carry here in Ohio, otherwise I too could have the chance to catch Covid again.
I painted the floors of my soon-to-be bedroom and bathroom with Kilz this afternoon. I guess I should just go back to Lowe’s and buy a 5 gallon bucket of the stuff. That subfloor is thirsty.

Are we sure it wasn’t a heart attack?
It is a tragedy. They should not have let him on the ride. He was 14. He doesn’t make good decisions (14) which is why the employees are supposed to enforce the rules. He died horribly because they didn’t. They can pay through the nose.

OFFS!!
It’s real, but they edited the headline.
Not impressed, I’m fine with armed black men.
They might want to re-think bringing up the armed political violence of the 1970s, seeing as it was mostly on the left, and included some rather more violent actions in DC than recent events.
Did Reagan pass the law all by himself, or did he do it the old fashioned way and let the legislature pass the law?
“WHO Will Rename Monkeypox Virus to Minimize Stigma and Racism
The World Health Organization will officially rename monkeypox, in light of concerns about stigma and racism surrounding the virus that has infected over 1,600 people in more than two dozen countries.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director general, announced Tuesday morning that the organization is “working with partners and experts from around the world on changing the name of monkeypox virus, its clades and the disease it causes.” He said the WHO will make announcements about the new names as soon as possible.
More than 30 international scientists said last week that the monkeypox label is discriminatory and stigmatizing, and there’s an “urgent” need to rename it. The current name doesn’t fit with WHO guidelines that recommend avoiding geographic regions and animal names, a spokesperson said.
The proposal echoes a similar controversy that erupted when the WHO moved quickly to rename SARS-CoV-2 after people around the world referred to it as the China or Wuhan virus in the absence of an official designation. The actual animal source of monkeypox, which has been found in a wide variety of mammals, remains unknown.”
https://time.com/6187445/monkeypox-who-rename-stigma/
Racism against monkeys?
“Wuhan Virus” bad, “Lyme Diseases” a-ok.
I assume the new name will be “kulakpox?”

Looks like The Turtle is supporting the gun control bill:

It’s a passin folks.
OK, so, either:
A) The RINOs have always really wanted to pass gun control, and they’re afraid it wouldn’t go after November 2022,
and/or
B) The RINOs believe Biden is so universally disliked that nothing they do could possibly cause them to lose in November 2022, and they have always really wanted to pass gun control.
OR they are both on the same team and this is yet another ratchet down on the uppity folks in America that could stop the globalist cabal if given the chance.
I was being facetious. Of course, they’re all on the same team. Team BE RULED.
I been slow this week. Must be the heat.
I’m knee deep in those Russian Revolution: Bad or Good videos you linked earlier. My take away so far? I’m never disarming… ever.
Well they’re red flag laws. Americans generally support them because Americans are generally dumb.
It’s probably not gonna endanger anyone politically.

Yeah no. Not real.
That will be a big fat law suit
That doesn’t even look like her.
Note their “About Us”:
We’re already making an impact: witness our exclusive exposé of Madison Cawthorn’s attempt, earlier this year, to smuggle a loaded firearm onto a commercial airliner, as well as, filing an ethics complaint with the U.S. House of Representatives.
Following the link in that text, I see this:
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) announced via Twitter several hours after the incident on Tuesday that Cawthorn had been cited for “Possession of a Dangerous Weapon on City Property” and was released after turning over the gun to the officers.
Which tells me they are full of shit since it is the CMPD that released the information about Cawthorn.
RE: the pictures the site claims are of Boebert: I have a vague memory of seeing some news story or something that she had been a model in the past. I remember those pictures from that story.
