Thursday Afternoon Links of Fall Arriving

MUTILATING CHILDREN FOR FUN AND PROFIT: Matt Walsh shines the light of inquiry on Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pediatric Transgender Clinic. Think about that for a second.  That there is even such a thing as a pediatric transgender clinic is both horrifying and an affront to reason.

FBI WHISTLEBLOWER SUSPENDED AFTER ALLEGATIONS: Bombshell allegations by FBI Special Agent Steve Friend contained in a whistleblower complaint filed late Wednesday with the Department of Justice inspector general reveal a politicized Washington, DC, FBI field office cooking the books to exaggerate the threat of domestic terrorism, and ­using an “overzealous” January 6 ­investigation to harass conservative Americans and violate their constitutional rights. –New York Post

INFLATION REDUCTION ACT NOT REALLY ABOUT INFLATION: “[John] Kerry called the bill an “amazing piece of legislation” for what it does for green energy and combating climate change.”

STATE MEDIA VEXED BY BIDEN SAYING PANDEMIC OVER: Remind me again why we are funding these people with our tax dollars.

JOHN FETTERMAN – FUCKING HYPOCRITE: Senate hopeful John Fetterman has cast himself as a champion of Pennsylvania’s public schools, telling voters he will “make sure our public schools have the funding they need.” But his tax records tell a different story. In fact, as mayor of Braddock, Pa., Fetterman failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes on time to his local school district, one of the poorest in the state. –Washington Free Beacon

“RAINBOW FENTANYL” – THE HALLOWEEN MORAL PANIC FOR THIS YEAR: Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel warns us of the danger. Because junkies are totally going to give away their expensive drugs to which they are addicted to random people. (h/t Jesse)

A special note to Glibs writers and illustrators – I’ve been a total slacker this week. If I owe you an email or something, don’t panic. It’s not you; it’s me.

    “May contain nuts. ”

    May?

    • Rat on a train

      Is that from the trans story?

      • Shiny Nerfherder

        Fentanyl story, they’re worried kids might have allergic reactions.

      • Rat on a train

        That’s why I give bags of sugar. It’s the only way to be sure.

      • Bobarian LMD

        I give out apples and razors with assembly instructions.

        Have you tried to hide a razor in an apple?? I nearly bled to death!

      • SDF-7

        Instructions in assembly? Wow… you are hardcore.

        Tight assembly is a good way to avoid unexpected cores with your Apple, I suppose.

      • Rat on a train

        You don’t want Rust in your Apple.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Hardcore? No, he’s APPLECORE!

      • Rat on a train

        Baltimore

      • Bobarian LMD

        But it works for both.

      • SDF-7

        Front page description. I just figured with our crowd, it was a given.

      • Count Potato

        I always found it amusing that food packages would say “may contain nuts”. Like how do you not know? It’s your factory, dickhead. Are people sneaking in at night sprinkling nuts over shit?

      • Rat on a train

        I like bags of peanuts that have the warning labels that they contain peanuts.

      • Count Potato

        *heads back into ocean*

      • Tonio

        “Processed in a facility that also processes nuts.”

        Someone might have forgotten to completely clean a machine or cleaned it poorly.

        Statements like that are legal CYA in case someone with a super severe nut allergy ingests a trace of nut and goes anaphylactic.

        Food allergies, both real and imagined, are a major problem for the food production, food service, and restaurant industries.

      • Count Potato

        “Statements like that are legal CYA”

        That I know, but I’ve seen it on things such as boxes of pasta.

  2. Count Potato

    “That there is even such a thing as a pediatric transgender clinic is both horrifying and an affront to reason.”

    Yes, and about 50 of them sprang up in the last few years.

    • Bobarian LMD

      Boutique designer children are all the rage.

      Get yours today!

      • Count Potato

        If there is one thing pedophiles hate, it’s puberty.

      • Tonio

        That’s what it’s becoming, Bobarian.

        Announcer: Not getting enough attention for your brave, woke parenting? Tired of having a little boy or girl just like everyone else? Bring your kid to our clinic today, leave with a Themby(tm) tomorrow. No puberty, no pregnancy, no problem.

      • rhywun

        “No, money down!”

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Because Obamacare requires that insurance cover it.

  3. Count Potato

    “JOHN FETTERMAN – FUCKING HYPOCRITE”

    Are we going to ignore he looks like a giant retard mutant?

  4. DEG

    Kerry called the bill “a completely misnamed piece of legislation,”

    John, John, you’re not supposed to say these things out loud.

    Senate hopeful John Fetterman has cast himself as a champion of Pennsylvania’s public schools, telling voters he will “make sure our public schools have the funding they need.” But his tax records tell a different story. In fact, as mayor of Braddock, Pa., Fetterman failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes on time to his local school district, one of the poorest in the state.

    I will go out on a limb and predict this will continue to not matter to his electoral chances.

    • Certified Public Asshat

      Gah, I don’t want to say it, but Fetterman is so terrible that if I had to choose I guess I would vote Dr. Oz.

    • Tonio

      I truly feel for the people of PA. They are damned to hell if they elect Fetterman, and FITA if they elect Oz.

      Is the LP running anyone?

      • DEG

        Is the LP running anyone?

        Yes.

        Here is his website. I am wondering why he talks about property taxes under his policy views. US Senators have nothing to do with local property taxes.

        There are also the Keystone Party candidates. Looks like they’re wokesters that left the LPPA.

      • Tonio

        Politicians often talk about issues which they have no ability to legislate. It’s values signalling, in the best sense of the phrase.

      • robc

        Maybe he favors replacing federal taxes with the Single Land Tax?

        Probably not, Tonio is more likely right.

      • juris imprudent

        No one worth a vote. I really don’t plan on casting a vote for Senator – none of the choices is deserving of it.

  5. Count Potato

    In this economy people can’t even afford apples and razor blades.

    • Rat on a train

      If anyone gives my kids popcorn balls …

      • Count Potato

        I’m handing out vapes to give them popcorn lungs.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Packs of Marlboro Reds or GTFO.

      • The Other Kevin

        Pumpkin spice vapes would be festive.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Yeah, but you would have to beat the Karen’s down as they swarm.

      • Rat on a train

        Those little chocolates containing liquor will be fine.

      • Tonio

        [golf clap]

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        Still not the old fashioned candy cigarettes but they’ll do.

      • Tres Cool

        Look here, Jack. A 9MM will blow those lungs out.

      • The Other Kevin

        How about a nice toothbrush?

      • Tonio

        Most Asshole Halloween Treats for Kids (in descending order):

        1) Bible Tracts
        2) Toothbrush
        3) Raisins

      • Tres Cool

        You forgot Necco wafers and/or smarty’s
        Milk Duds are a close 3rd

      • robc

        Smarties (real ones, not the Canadian shit) are awesome.

      • R.J.

        We used Necco wafers for betting chips in the post-Halloween poker games. Us kids were a tough crowd.

      • Animal

        Necco wafers are the best BB gun targets.

      • db

        We used to do a thing with .22s and those tiny little red hot cinnamon candies.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        I was reliably told that little brothers were the best BB targets.

        Did my older brother lie?

      • Rat on a train

        Shasta cola

      • Timeloose

        I’m a big fan of all of those. Necco’s are good and there is no changing my mind.

      • rhywun

        Necco’s are good and there is no changing my mind.

        Thank you.

      • slumbrew

        ^^^ These guys get it ^^^

        I can’t even with you people.

    • SDF-7

      I just hope my son avoids a house that is giving out candy.

      • SDF-7

        Sigh… tough crowd. At least I amuse myself, I suppose.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      “In my day we used to sharpen rusty razor blades on the curb before sticking them in apples. Except for Corn Pop. He stuck them in Candy Corn. That’s how he got his name.”

      -Grandpa Joe

    • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

      After covid, I am giving out cigarettes.

      Gotta make those lugs Stronk Like Bull.

  6. Shiny Nerfherder

    I’m going OT right out of the gate because this is priceless.

    https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/china-urges-europe-take-positive-steps-climate-change-2022-09-22/

    “The climate policies of some European countries have shown a ‘backswing’, and it is hoped that this is just a temporary stopgap,” he said, according to a summary of the meeting released by China’s environment ministry.

    As western countries raise coal consumption in order to offset gas supply disruptions brought about by the conflict in Ukraine, China’s foreign ministry said in a statement this month that its own green and low-carbon development path remained firm – “in contrast with the European Union”.

    Gotta hand it to the Chinese, they know how to goad their competitors into self-destruction.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      The only country they have standing to criticize in that area is India.

    • Drake

      The article literally has a photo of a laughing Chinaman at the top.

      • juris imprudent

        Inscrutability only goes so far.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      According to Greenpeace, “Provincial governments across China approved plans to add a total 8.63 gigawatts (GW) of new coal power plants in the first quarter of 2022 alone”.

      The average size of coal plants to be retired in the US is 154 MW. So in one quarter they have approved the equivalent of 56 US power plants.

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      China’s foreign ministry said in a statement this month that its own green and low-carbon development path remained firm

      That’s Grade A bullshit right there.

      • UnCivilServant

        “China’s green and low carbon development path is to have any potential for competition from the west hobbled by green and low carbon policies so that it can retain a monopoly on vital supply chain elements.”

      • Shpip

        China’s foreign ministry said in a statement this month that its own green and low-carbon development path remained firm

        I.e., “We’re firm in our resolve not to fall for the green energy nonsense that those crazy gweilo seem intent on kneecapping themselves with.”

    • rhywun

      That is some impressive chutzpah. Puts most of our own whoppers to shame.

  7. Stinky Wizzleteats

    Between the secret bottom surgeries, the rainbow fentanyl, and the razor blades in the apples I’m damn surprised any kids make it into adulthood nowadays.

    • Count Potato

      Don’t forget all the child porn ignored by Patreon, IG, Shopify, etc.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      It’s because of masks and child seats.

  8. DEG

    A special note to Glibs writers and illustrators – I’ve been a total slacker this week. If I owe you an email or something, don’t panic. It’s not you; it’s me.

    You’re not the only slacker. I haven’t started the next part of the FreedomFest coverage.

  9. Rebel Scum

    cooking the books to exaggerate the threat of domestic terrorism, and ­using an “overzealous” January 6 ­investigation to harass conservative Americans

    This was already obvious.

  10. Grosspatzer

    Multiple public health experts Big Pharma lackeys called Biden’s remarks “unfortunate.”

    “That asshole is threatening our gravy train! Who let him off his leash?”

  11. Rebel Scum

    INFLATION REDUCTION ACT NOT REALLY ABOUT INFLATION

    It’s going to certainly create it.

    “[John] Kerry called the bill an “amazing piece of legislation” for what it does for green energy and combating climate change.”

    You misspelled “graft”.

    • The Other Kevin

      Weren’t they calling it “disinformation” when people were saying just that before the bill was passed?

      • waffles

        Yes they were. I can’t wait for green energy to be a dirty word. All it takes is one bad winter.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Inflation, yes. Reduction… eh, not so much.

      • one true athena

        yes and stupid right-wing media kept using the name instead of just calling it the ‘inflation act’. It’s so frustrating that time and again, the left sets the frame and the rest all just nod along.

  12. waffles

    Xenophobia but for white people.

    • waffles

      Sorry this was in response to someone asking why we aren’t taking Russian refugees.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Because Biden has strict immigration policies?

      • waffles

        I think Putin does. I wouldn’t want to be in Russia now. Into the meatgrinder.

      • juris imprudent

        No, they must stay in Russia and overthrow Putin and install a pro-WEF govt. Because they totally would if we just supported them!!!

      • Bobarian LMD

        Just like we did with the Afghans!

  13. Shpip

    The president’s comments come as public health officials are trying to convince Americans to get a new booster shot, and as the White House has worked unsuccessfully for months to convince Congress to provide more than $22 billion in new funding for the COVID-19 response.

    They couldn’t convince Americans last time, and had to go straight to mandates and ultimatums. Why wouldn’t public health officials try that again? Are they afraid of something?

    • waffles

      The real long covid is the infinite booster schedule.

      • Don escaped Texas

        I told you that this inoculation paperwork drama would never work.

        R C Dean on May 6, 2021 at 11:10 am: All good reasons why its a terrible idea that can’t be implemented worth a crap, especially since they are now begging people to get it without ID. But since when has “its a terrible idea that can’t be implemented worth a crap” been a hard stop for the government or big biz?

        rhywun on May 6, 2021 at 11:51 am: Yeah, they will carry the theater out as far and as long as they feel like whether it works or not. What’s one more doorstopper of laws which can’t be enforced but will be selectively enforced at will?

        In fairness to me, I only showed my pox ID twice ever, but we gotta give it to RCD for his read on the horizon.

  14. Grosspatzer

    “You have to note, the Republicans Democrats always close well. Why? Because they find some new way to scare the living daylights out of swing voters about something. manufacture the right number of votes.

    • SDF-7

      +1 Fulton County plumbing.

  15. Rebel Scum

    Get a load of this fascist.

    Let me be clear. Children do not belong to the state. They belong to families.

    In our Virginia code, parents are the primary decision makers. Parents Matter.

    • SDF-7

      I don’t recall the link — but can we please get him and that Judge that basically said “Parents don’t have any rights over their children in public schools!” in a locked room and let them settle it the old fashioned way?

      • DEG

        that Judge that basically said “Parents don’t have any rights over their children in public schools!”

        Hier

      • SDF-7

        Danke.

      • DEG

        Bitte

    • The Other Kevin

      It’s strange and sad to me that this would be considered an obvious statement just a few years ago, but today it’s considered a problem.

      • Shiny Nerfherder

        Thank a teacher.

      • Count Potato

        Hillary wrote It Takes A village in 1996. It’s nothing new.

  16. Drake

    The FBI doesn’t even pretend any more – just straight up threw the whistleblower out. I wonder how many federal laws they just broke but won’t ever be bothered with?

    • Shiny Nerfherder

      The FBI is so far in now that they can’t afford to pull any punches.

    • SDF-7

      “No reasonable prosecutor….”

    • juris imprudent

      Oh I’m sure the DOJ will get right on that…

      [keels over dead]

      • J. Frank Parnell

        If the R’s take the house, maybe a year from now there will be a hearing!

    • Shiny Nerfherder

      He comes off like a mal-adjusted psychopath.

    NH Republican state legislator candidates drop out

    Two New Hampshire Republicans are stepping out of the midterm elections after getting dire medical news.

    Michael Yakubovich, a two-term state representative from Hooksett running for state Senate in the redrawn District 16, and Gary Hopper, a Weare state representative running for the Weare/Goffstown floterial district, both recently announced they are leaving politics to deal with health issues.

  18. Drake

    New Hunter pics and videos!

    • Shiny Nerfherder

      *looks for antibiotic cream*

      • Tonio

        I’m wondering if the white rectangle visible on his upper left thigh is a medx patch of some sort.

      • R.J.

        Sure enough. Perhaps a tragic waxing accident?

    • The Other Kevin

      Why the hell is he recording all this? Is he sitting around on a Sunday night, having a relaxing hit of crack, fapping to videos of himself?

      • waffles

        Yes, that. Precisely that. Brain damage.

      • The Other Kevin

        And yet he supposedly such a business genius that multiple foreign companies pay him 6 figures a month.

      • SDF-7

        That he’s supposed to be the smartest man PPP knows says a lot about those who can stand to hang around the Bidens.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        My crackpot theory is that he wants to get caught. It reminds me of the show on Amazon, Patriot. It’s about a guy who is an assassin for the CIA, where his dad is his handler. He starts losing his mind because of all the stuff he’s done. He wants to become a folk singer and starts singing in coffee shops describing his various operations. Funny show if you have the right sense of humor.

        So I’m thinking Joe has been using Hunter as a bag man. Hunter is losing his mind because of it, and he wants to get caught so it all can end.

      • B.P.

        If the theory holds, he probably didn’t bank on getting caught and no one in authority giving a shit.

        *Staggering around huffing on a pipe wearing nothing but a scarf* What’s a guy gotta do to embarrass an administration around here?!

      • Bobarian LMD

        What’s a guy gotta do to embarrass an administration around here?!

        Vote for Trump.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        Have you seen some of their appointees? It seems the only way to embarrass them is to be straight, faithful, white, and not corrupt. Or as Bobarian says, vote for Trump.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        The working girls are the ones taking the pics. They know they are getting a little extra on the back end from it, so why not, he is getting chopped up while high as a kite, so it isn’t like he is putting a stop to it. He knows.

      • Tonio

        “working girls…a little extra on the back end”

        Untz, untz, untz.

    • B.P.

      This laptop is going to be barfing up content for the rest of our lives.

    • Bobarian LMD

      “One photo taken by Hunter shows two prostitutes naked in the hot tub of the Malibu home with a jar of weed nearby “

      The most ghastly part of that picture? His feet.

      • Fourscore

        That really is a dirty picture

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      FTA In recent months, he was recounting a story where he claimed that he was appointed to the Naval Academy by a senator whom he eventually replaced – events that never actually happened.

      To be fair he recounted a story where he had graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school back in ’87 when he was much younger.

      IOW he was always dumb and always made up things about himself to get elected.

    • db

      Not only lost, but he completely misses the fact that whoever is speaking is speaking to him to thank him, and he just wanders off into a shadow and tried to hide, while no one is at the podium with a spotlight. Obviously no one was prepared at all for what he did.

    What the fuck is “OPB”?

    • SDF-7

        Ah. So Omni Present Bullshit.
        Do they even do anything useful, like playing reruns of Doctor Who or Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin?

  20. The Late P Brooks

    If you notice, no one’s wearing masks.

    He didn’t even stamp his little foot and pout. Time for the old geezer to head for the exit.

  21. The Late P Brooks

    “When you have the president of the U.S. saying the pandemic is over, why would people line up for their boosters? Why would Congress allocate additional funding for these other strategies and tools?” said Dr. Celine Gounder, an epidemiologist and senior fellow with the Kaiser Family Foundation. “I am profoundly disappointed. I think this is a real lack of leadership.”

    Fuck you and the broom you rode in on.

    • Fatty Bolger

      Why indeed?

    • The Other Kevin

      With just that one statement he single handedly ruined the racket for big pharma. If he ends up dead from a “heart attack” we know what happened.

  22. Fatty Bolger

    Because junkies are totally going to give away their expensive drugs to which they are addicted to random people.

    Heh. That’s almost exactly what I said to my wife when she told me about that story yesterday, except I said “kids” instead of “random people.”

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Maybe it’s a multilevel marketing scheme, like Amway.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Only less evil.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Fenway? They could give it away in a park!

  23. Certified Public Asshat

    Fetterman failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes on time to his local school district, one of the poorest in the state.

    I’m sure he was just a week late, maybe two…

    Woodland Hills School District, which serves Braddock, placed nearly three-dozen tax liens against Fetterman totaling $18,692 for unpaid property taxes from 2006 to 2019, according to records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The district sued Fetterman twice over the unpaid bills, resulting in default judgments against Fetterman totaling $3,769. Fetterman has since paid off the liens, but in some cases it took him more than six years to satisfy the debt.

    Damn, he was three-dozen liens late.

    • Bobarian LMD

      He was just not very good at book-keeping. He was a busy guy.

    • The Other Kevin

      That kid must subscribe to The Critical Drinker’s channel.

    • trshmnstr the terrible

      Best thing to do at this point is buy the originals on physical media and ignore the bigots making the modern adaptation. They thrive on the controversy but can’t stand not being the center of attention.

      • R.J.

        You are correct. I started with “Blazing Saddles” a few years ago.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        *checks catalog to see if Blazing Saddles made the last order*

        Le sad. I was debating getting it, but I think the disk was too expensive at the place I was shopping.

      • R.J.

        Get it used.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Yep, I bought it from thriftbooks. I’ll occasionally take $100 or so and set the filter to movies under $6 and toss in anything interesting that isn’t already in my catalog. (libib is pretty good for tracking what I have, at least until I get everything ripped onto my Plex server)

      • Rat on a train

        You don’t have to worry about a modern adaptation of that.

  24. The Late P Brooks

    “I have an oath to uphold the Constitution,” he told supervisors when he asserted his conscientious objection to joining an Aug. 24 raid on a J6 subject in the Jacksonville, Fla., area. “I have a moral objection and want to be considered a conscientious objector.”

    He’s “keeping” his “oath”?

    He is a self-admitted domestic terrorist. Away with him. Off with his head.

    Hawley on point.

    In today’s Senate Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) questioned Colleen J. Shogan, nominee to be Archivist at the United States National Archives and Records Administration.

  26. The Late P Brooks

    In a Sept. 16 letter from the head of FBI human resources, he was told he was losing his security clearance also because he “espoused beliefs which demonstrate questionable judgment [and demonstrated] an unwillingness to comply with rules and regulations.”

    Misplaced loyalty is a fatal flaw for a member of the inner circle.

    “I mean, just last month, 2,000 pounds of fentanyl came across our border. That could kill 500 million people.”

    Guess that means all 330m or so US citizens and residents and all the “undocumented”.

        Second hand smoke got me.

        Raising the interstate speed limit from 55 knocked me down, then tax cuts for the rich finished me off.

    Markovsky then asked Friend if J6 rioters who “killed police officers” should be prosecuted, even though no such thing happened. When Friend pointed out that “there were no police officers killed on January 6, 2021,” Markovsky told him he was being a “bad teammate.”

    You’re either with us, or you’re against us. What’s it gonna be?

    @JaimeRoberto, I was an RA that year of the tee-shirt debacle. My next-door neighbors were stupid enough to sneak a boy in to their room. I heard them, went and knocked on the door, heard them all scurrying around, acted like I was just lonely and wanted to visit, chatted a while, got up, went to one of the closets and jerked it open, and there he was. All I did was say, “Get out.” And nothing else happened.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Well that’s disappointing. I was expecting an erotic adventure.

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        IKR, you would expect more from a romance novelist.

      • Mojeaux

        Well, considering he would have gotten in serious trouble, the “nothing else happened” was a gift.

      • Gender Traitor

        I don’t think I ever got a formal “vis vi” (visitation violation,) and I only remember getting caught once, simply because the guy & I were talking. (No! Really!) I recall the res hall advisor and/or the assistant just standing outside my door with uncomfortable smiles. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t terribly sorry about having an excuse to get rid of the guy.

      • Mojeaux

        Oh lots of things happened that year I “didn’t see.”

        Mostly because a) I am lazy, b) I’m not a very good manager of other people, c) I don’t mich care what rules other people break as long as it amuses me or doesn’t affect me.

        We had a break-in one night by our brother dorm, and they pranked the whole floor, but it was so cute and wholesome, I just laughed. My house mother was livid, though. The campus cop and I were rolling our eyes.

      • Mojeaux

        I’m not at my desk, so I can’t post the pix that go with, but they did a couple of things (I was happy they didn’t penny our doors).

        1. They wrapped the outside of our doors with Christmas wrapping paper.

        2. They filled hundreds of Dixie cups with water and put them in front of our doors so we couldn’t walk without getting water everywhere.

        3. They hung big banners up and down the hall with “SURF NAZI” all over them.

        4. They had previously stolen my boombox, and what woke us up was it playing something on 11 in our bathroom, which echoed.

        I might post pix later if I get them scanned.

    • robc

      Different school and all, but all my RAs were of the “keep your door closed if you are doing anything against the rules. If I don’t see it, it didn’t exist.”

      • rhywun

        My RA was a huge pothead. She was pretty hands-off.

      I haven’t been following that and I’m not clear what he’s on trial for….

      Wow, that’s a crime?

      • Count Potato

        Well, I’ve seen enough people say it seriously.

    • grrizzly

      What does it even mean? I don’t see any point in the link from a straight or gay figure to a “trans” figure on the right. Even for $100k, a trans man won’t get a real dick.

      • UnCivilServant

        “Agree with our lies or we’ll call you a Nazi”.

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        I think the whole idea is “if you are super straight/gay, you are a nazi”

      • Zwak. who's suit is as ragged as his nerves.

        Huh, different than I thought.

  30. The Late P Brooks

    Today, in my ongoing real estate saga-

    I hadn’t herd anything from the idiot realtor in a while. A few days ago he sent me a text asking about the status of the new septic system. I told him: no permit for septic until the well (which he has been very gung ho to make use of) is pumped full of concrete and permanently capped. He merely replies, “Okay, when does it happen?”

    I let him steep a day, and then a while ago, I shot him this:

    No permit(s) = no timetable.

    Is that a problem?

    Take it up with the fucking moron who created this situation by excluding the drain field from this property.

    I now have five ragetexts on my phone, which I have not yet bothered to read.

  31. Count Potato

    “This ought to be the #1 story in America: a gay organization, denied the ability to conduct commerce and, as of today, communicate (Google shut down all its services, including Gmail) because its opinions offend trans activists.”

      LGBT

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        LGB is being pushed out by the generic term Queer.

      • rhywun

        Yeah, “queer” doesn’t even have to imply boring old “gay” anymore. It can be any of the galaxy of made-up genders/orientations.

      • UnCivilServant

        Seems like an odd thing to add to the definition.

    Remind me again why we are funding these people with our tax dollars.

    Uh, guns?
