Wednesday Afternoon SugarLinks – Fame Comes To Glibtown

Our very own Sloopy had made it to the big time!

WaPo Reporter Makes up Fetterman Quote to Obscure the Senator’s Incoherence, Gets Roasted and Deletes

As RedState reported, Sen. John Fetterman is back in the US Senate, and things are not going well. During a hearing on Wednesday, he attempted to grill the former CEO of the now-failed Silicon Valley Bank.

I’ll post the video in a moment, but first, let’s look at how Washington Post reporter Jeff Stein transcribed what was said. This comes via a screenshot because Stein was ratioed so badly that he eventually deleted his original tweet, but we’ll get to that shortly.

Now, you might read that quote and think “Well, I guess Fetterman is doing just fine.” You might even think that he’s making a stellar recovery from the massive stroke that he had in 2022 before refusing to drop out of the race despite clearly being incapable of fulfilling the duties of a senator.

But like most things that come from the mainstream media, Stein’s “quote” wasn’t heavily, how do you say, slanted. To be more clear, the “reporter” completely wrote what Fetterman said to hide his condition.

Here is the actual quote of everything Fetterman said along with the video, and consider this a fair warning if you get migraines easily.

The link in the last paragraph is to Sloopy. Even if you are a big Twitter fan, the comments are amazing as the flail to make excuses, whatabout Trump, attempt to shame him for writing own Fetterman’s own rambling nonsense, and just get plain butthurt.

For those that refuse to use Twitter or banned, here is Sloop’s transcription:

TexasSloopy
@SloopyTexas

I transcribed it. It’s nonsense. Enjoy:

Is. Is it staggering? Is it a staggering a res uh responsibility that ju that a head of a bank could literally could literally crash our economy? It’s astonishing. That’s like if you have I mean like uh uh and and they also realizes that that that now they have it’s in-, in- guaranteed, a guaranteed way to be saved again by a no matter, by no mat, by, by how? You know, so it’s, it’s, you know isn’t it appropriate that the uh that those kind of controls should be were stricter? To prevent this kind of thing from willing? Or should we just go on start bailing and sailing whoever bank regardless of how, how raaaare rare theirs their conduct is? Who you know I’ll give you an example. Uh, the republicans want to give a work requirement for SNAP. You know for a uh uh uh uh a hungry family has to have these this kind of penalties or these some kinds of wooooord or working uh require shouldn’t you have some kind of working required suu after we sail your bank uh billions of your bank? Because you seem we were preoccupied uh when uh then SNAP uh requirements for works for uh hungry people but not about pro, protecting the tax, tax papers you know that will bail them out of whatever does about a bank to crash it. ::shrugs:: Chair.


 

Honestly, just fuck everything. Fuck it all. Burn it all down. I’m done.

This is the story of Cinthia, a video game character who, after defeating the last enemy, finds herself facing one much more important battle.

Also, is this how they think video games are made?

This sweet kicker at the end is [chef’s kiss]:

    Honestly, nothing against Sloopy, but I saw a bunch of those earlier.

    • sloopyinca

      Bah. I transcribed it 20 minutes after that WaPo guy posted his tweet yesterday. I wonder who beat me to the punch.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        Made perfect sense to me. I work with stroke victims every day and I don't hear the usual problems with his speech these patients haveI can pull hundreds of videos of Trump & other GOP doing the same stutter and it has nothing to do with a stroke or their ability to govern.— Yarnie (@TweetingYarnie) May 17, 2023

        In Jurassic World, Chris Pratt can talk to raptors.

      • SugarFree

        These fucking shills.

        Or should we just go on start bailing and sailing whoever bank regardless of how, how raaaare rare theirs their conduct is?

        This not a stutter. They’ve been covering for Mushmouth Joe for so long they’ve had to redefine yet another word to cover their stupid antics.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        Too bad auto-tuning videos are no longer a thing. Fetterman would be a star.

      • rhywun

        So many white knights hovering over their keyboards to defend him.

    “The story of the Hawaiian Pizza, invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant, who was inspired by Chinese food to put a South American ingredient on an Italian dish, that went on to be most popular in Australia”

    CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!!!!!!

    • UnCivilServant

      A true Hawaiian pizza would have spam, not pineapple.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM

        You mean Spam, not ham. The pineapple’s the other ingredient.

        Look at UCS, flaunting his Spam privilege. Us Canucks are forced to settle for delicious ham slices/cubes instead. Oh, the humanity.

        (And if you substitute prosciutto for the ham, ‘specially if they bake it ’til the prosciutto’s a little crispy around the edges, it’s even more freakin’ delish.)

        That Greek immigrant was a genius, man.

      • UnCivilServant

        No, I mean it should be a spam, ham, and cheese pizza.

      • Bobarian LMD

        It would most likely be spicy spam.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM

        It would most likely be Spam with tasty, tasty bits of pineapple throughout it. And if they were feeling luxe, the makers might even roast the pineapple first to caramelize it.

      • Ted S.

        If you ain’t eating Spam, you ain’t eating ham!

    74% of girls feel underrepresented in video games

    I don’t think 74% of girls are overweight.

    • SugarFree

      About 50% of that 74% have a penis. The other 2/3rds are actually marmosets.

    • Fatty Bolger

      And most of the ones who are don’t want a fat avatar.

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      We’re going to need Tres to weigh in on this one.

    • Timeloose

      Let’s see what the typical dude looks like in a video game.

    • rhywun

      Which is pretty strange since I play a fair number of games and I am pretty sure that females are overrepresented.

      • Pat

        They’re not “represented” unless every character is a fatass hambeast or something.

    • R C Dean

      Maybe . . . It’s a game, a fantasy world, and you actually can look like/be whatever you want? In ages past, when I would set up my character for a game, I never made him (or her, a few times – don’t judge) look like me. Why would I?

      • Grumbletarian

        I would occasionally make a superheroine back when playing City of Heroes so I could stare at a girl’s behind for a change.

    The story of the Hawaiian Pizza, invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant, who was inspired by Chinese food to put a South American ingredient on an Italian dish, that went on to be most popular in Australia

    This crime against humanity has continued to go unpunished.

    • kinnath

      My wife like ham and pineapple pizza. I don’t hold it against her.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        The dirty secret of Hawaiian pizza is…it’s fine. Not really great, but not awful either.

      • juris imprudent

        Good pizza is defined more by crust, cheese and sauce than toppings.

      • Count Potato

        The dough literally defines pizza. Pizza fritte is good.

      • Grummun

        Honestly, I dislike the ham more than the pineapple. The cooked pineapple only adds some sweetness, but the ham just seems bland compared to the alternatives (pepperoni or sausage).

      • Sensei

        Prosciutto on pizza is amazing.

      • Name's BEAM. James BEAM

        Sensei-san gets it. In fact, I’d go so far as to say he groks it.

      • Nephilium

        Capicola works quite well also.

      • Count Potato

        gabagool

      • Bobarian LMD

        My wife loves pepperoni and pineapple za.

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        “I don’t hold it against her.”

        Is that a kink-shame? Because that sounds like a kink-shame.

      • juris imprudent

        He didn’t say he smeared it on her (or on himself), so the judges rule it NO KINK.

    • Name's BEAM. James BEAM

      You mis-spelled “unrewarded.”

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      The inventor could at least say sorey.

  5. Drake

    The good pizza place in my hometown was run by Greek immigrants. Never got Hawaiian, but their house special had shaved onions and green peppers piled higher than any Italian imagined. I loved it.

    • juris imprudent

      Last summer I had some pizza loaded with perfectly sauteed onions. But I don’t believe the cook got any of it.

  6. The Late P Brooks

    I’m starving, and you people are talking about pizza.

  7. Penguin

    I was previously unaware that it was Sixpence None the Richer who did There She Goes. Good song. Something make me want to order a pizza now.

      • Penguin

        I usually like their old stuff, but that one was worse than the horrors of a SugarFree story. I’ll be traumatized for a while.

        At least until the pizza gets here.

      • SugarFree

        Has this whole blog GONE MAD?!? That’s the Velvet Underground song!

        [screaming]

        [deep breathing]

        OK, I’m OK. OK.

      • robc

        I didnt click on any other links, I assumed that was the song Sixpence covered.

      • Tundra

        Who the fuck is Sixpence?

    • sloopyinca

      The La’s did it first. Show some respect.

    • Pat

      Aside from Kiss Me, every Sixpence None the Richer song that charted was a cover.

      • Penguin

        I didn’t know, guys. Largely because I didn’t and still don’t really care. I’m on the phone, ordering a non-Hawaiian pizza.

        All that said, the La’s version is better.

  8. sloopyinca

    Any great things Greek immigrants did with pizza pales in comparison to what they did with chili in the Queen City.

    • Bobarian LMD

      There is no such thing as chili in Cincinnati.

    • Fatty Bolger

      Imagine calling spaghetti chili, and then topping it with three pounds of shredded cheddar. Blech.

      Putting it on hotdogs, double blech.

      • sloopyinca

        I’m wounded by this anti-Cincinnati chili bigotry.

        Deeply wounded.

      • SugarFree

        Agreed.

      • Nephilium

        We have almost driven the scourge out of the Cleveland area. I think there’s one Skyline still open on the east side. Soon it too will fall.

      • robc

        You can send it to FtC. I would appreciate it.

      • Nephilium

        It’s common in the grocery stores around here still, and if you’re really hard up…

      • B.P.

        I buy cans of Skyline at King Soopers in Denver.

      • juris imprudent

        You can’t call something chili when it is based on ground beef.

      • Gender Traitor

        I’m with you, sloopy! We Cincy chili lovers have to stand together.

        When I don’t get one of Skyline’s wraps (Chicken Bacon Ranch! With Fritos in there too!) I’ve taken to getting just the chili with the mountain o’cheese. Reduces the carbs and keeps the sometimes-insufficiently-drained spaghetti from watering down the chili. Perfection!

      • UnCivilServant

        I thought I knew you… 😢

      • Gender Traitor

        Also, one should not be able to do origami with a pizza.

      • UnCivilServant

        If you can’t fold it, it’s not pizza!

      • Gender Traitor

        “I’d like a crane with pepperoni, please!”

      • Nephilium

        UCS:

        I beg to differ. New place that the girlfriend and I checked out a couple weeks back has a very solid pizza with a crust that’s firm enough to not droop, but isn’t doughy.

  9. Tundra

    Debbie Schultz tells us what Dems think of the illegals.

    Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Arizona did the same to their immigrants in their state. He’s going to devastate our economy, tourism, construction, agriculture. I mean, you’re going to have vegetables rotting in the fields. You’re going to have construction sites that will lie dormant or certainly will struggle to get workers to be able to help make sure that they can make progress. The tourism is that tourism and restaurant industry in particular rely on these workers.

    • The Other Kevin

      This is one of those things you can show to some lefty and pretend it’s a Trump quote, and their head would explode due to the racism.

    • Pat

      I love it when they tell working class people pissed off about illegal immigration “Well, who’s gonna change your kid’s diaper and mow your lawn, huh?” These people live in such a privileged little bubble they actually think the majority of the country lives like they do, needing a black market underclass of labor to keep themselves alive. Whether you’re an immigration restrictionist or maximalist, it’s so fucking out of touch. And yet it costs them no votes.

      • juris imprudent

        Of course it doesn’t cost them votes – the entire Professional Managerial Class is their base.

    • Fatty Bolger

      Confirming something I’ve suspected for years. They love their underclass.

    • Ted S.

      I’m OK with Biden and Fetterlump rotting in the fields.

    • Count Potato

      “Florida residents are sharing videos of empty grocery shelves and construction sites after workers threatened to strike against sweeping immigration reforms in the Sunshine State.

      Latin-American truck drivers and laborers have pledged to boycott jobs in Florida in protest of Governor Ron Desantis’s SB 1718 bill which aims to crackdown on undocumented migrants.”

      • Grosspatzer

        That’s funny. I just spent a week in Florida, and was very impressed by the Publix supermarket in St. Augustine. Maybe it’s an outlier (I doubt it) but the shelves were fully stocked, it was the cleanest store I’ve ever seen, and the employees were friendly and helpful, in sharp contrast to our local markets here n NJ.

      • Gender Traitor

        But did you get the chicken???

      • Grosspatzer

        Well, they DID have chicken pizza…

    • rhywun

      I wonder how many constituents she has in her district whom we are paying to not work.

  11. The Late P Brooks

    Today, in the ongoing saga of the ongoing saga, I found my bundle of car titles. In the bottom of a random cardboard box full of what the untrained eye would would classify as trash, in the Airstream, while looking for something else. I thought, “Oh, look a box of paper. I might as well get that out of here and see what’s in it before I toss it. Just in case.”

    How did they end up there? Why? Who knows? The only surprising part of the story is I had not yet mailed the “lost title” applications I printed out the other day.

    • Ted S.

      Yeah; why did you put them there?

  12. Sensei

    When the gun-toting teens got in the cab, they confronted Addo, 57, of North Brunswick, and tried to rob him before one of the teens shot the defenseless cabbie in the head as he drove, killing him, prosecutors said.

    I’m reminded of one of my favorite scenes in Pulp Fiction, but this time I just feel sad instead of laughing hysterically. I’m sure both of the teens had strong father figures in their lives.

    Let’s tax our way to prosperity.

    Progressive allies of Mayor Brandon Johnson have released a financial blueprint titled – and I’m not joking – “First We Get the Money” calling for $12 billion in new taxes, including:

    “Head tax” of $33 per worker for companies with 50+ employees

    Quadrupling the tax on jet fuel.

    3.5% income tax on households making $100K+

    0.4% “wealth tax” for the top 10% of city earners.

    $1-2 transaction tax for financial exchanges.

    • Sean

      $1-2 transaction tax for financial exchanges.

      Kind of vague. What is that?

      LOL please make this happen.

      • juris imprudent

        Yeah, those kind of taxes are going to dry up the graft flowing to the aldermen.

      • R C Dean

        This should set off an orgy of corruption, as alderman take advantage of a big tax bill (always a vehicle for graft and bribery) to max out their take. Should be quite entertaining. Too bad no Glibs live there to give us the inside skinny.

    • KSuellington

      Then they can get the power and then the women. That’s the proper order according to Tony Montana.

    People use entertainment such as movies and video games to escape reality, not be reminded of it. Why pay for a video game or a movie if it’s just like your life? Just save the money and live. Why don’t people get that?

    • Timeloose

      It’s not like the men portrayed in video games match those who are playing them. Each video game dude either has he-man muscles, this as a rail, or if a bit on the big side is more like a professional wrestler. The only time I see a true fat dude in a game he is either meant to be comical or some kind of blob like creature. Admittedly the women in videogames form Japan and the 1990’s were typically clad in bikinis and spandex. This is also because young men were their demographic.

    The Durham investigation was flawed from the start.

    It began for a political purpose – to satisfy Trump. It resulted in two spectacular failures at trial. And ended with nothing to show for four years of effort.

    Bottom line: FBI had a good reason to investigate – Durham didn’t.

    • The Other Kevin

      The narrative on this and the Biden bank accounts is, “No direct evidence of crime.”

    “‘Squad’ member calls for $14 TRILLION in federal reparations for descendants of slaves: Democrats say ‘trauma lives in the black body’ and question why U.S. is continually spending money on foreign aid and ‘endless wars’

    The entire U.S. GDP was $25 trillion in 2022. The U.S. is already $31.4 trillion in debt and lawmakers are currently engaged in tedious negotiations over where to cut the budget so they can raise the debt limit.

    The $14 trillion figure is in line with the findings of Duke University professor and economist William ‘Sandy’ Darity, who estimates the wealth gap is in excess of $300,000 per person and there are roughly 40 million black people whose ancestors were enslaved in the U.S….

    The Pentagon has requested a budget of $824 billion for fiscal year 2024.”

      “‘Trauma lives in the black body,’ said Bowman.

      ‘Research has shown this from generation to generation trauma lives in the body and lives in the blood vessels and lives in the DNA and the cells and the mind.’

      He went on: ‘So when we talk about disproportion impact of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and so on, stress, when we talk about that, it’s directly connected to our historical oppression in this country.’ ”

      SCIENCE!!!!!!

    We only prosecute the little people. However, it was enough to blow up Rachel Rollins career.

    “Investigators said Rollins leaked nonpublic information to Boston newspapers to damage a candidate for the Suffolk County district attorney election, her former post, and buoy her preferred successor. Rollins then lied about that activity when questioned by investigators, the inspector general said. The office referred the false-statement allegations to the Justice Department in December, but prosecutors declined to pursue charges. Suffolk County’s territory includes Boston.”

        All sea animals gather on the surface and bellow unintelligibly
        The waters burn from east to west
        Plants and trees fill with dew and blood
        Earth is divided into two parts
        All buildings are destroyed
        The stones fight each other
        Great earthquakes occur
        All mountains and valleys are leveled to a plain

      • Nephilium

        I’m not even asking for the Browns to win, just for the Lions and the Browns to play each other in the Super Bowl. The only two non-expansion (depending on how you want to count the Browns) teams to have never played in a Super Bowl.

        Coventry-Luton Town for all the marbles. Should be fun. They drew both times this year. So expect it to go to penalties.

      Congrats are your prediction skills from this morning!

      Coventry City defeated Middlesbrough to advance to play Luton Town.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        It sucks that Burnley and Sheffield are coming back, but at least one new team will be fresh (and probably relegated right back down).

      • robc

        I want United and Wednesday back in the premier league where they belong.

        Haha – you can’t ever keep them in the same division!

        I had to look it up, March 4, 2019 was the last time they played.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        Why would you follow Everton and also be obsessed with teams from Sheffield?

      • robc

        They, to me, are “traditional” top league teams.

        Its been since 1994 since both were in the Premier League, so it comes from when I started following things.

        I have always thought Sheffield Wednesday was a cool name. My Everton fandom dates back to the last game of the 1993-94 season.

        Everton 3-2 Wimbledon. It was the first time I saw Everton play, and the fans were amazing.

      • robc

        Is Coventry that fresh?

        Okay, its been 22 years since Coventry got relegated, didnt realize it was that long ago. But they were in the top flight for 34 years, 1967-2001.

        They’re suing on first amendment grounds for groomer tomes.

        Since the legal theory is bunk, they’re clearly trying to make the costs punitive or force a settlement that puts the porn back in the school.

    The Alphabet Cult strikes again.

    Mostafa Mohammed, an Egyptian footballer (soccer player) for the French side Nantes, was fined by his club for refusing to wear a gay pride rainbow flag on his arm during a game against Toulouse on Sunday.

    Nantes announced on Monday, May 15, that Mohamed was fined an undisclosed amount, with the money going to a French LGBT charity called SOS Homophobia.

    On Sunday, “[t]he numbers on shirts of all players in France’s top two divisions, as well as armbands worn by captains and officials, were rainbow-coloured as the French league staged a campaign against homophobia,” reports Insider Paper.

    Mohamed made a statement regarding the matter on Twitter,

    “I respect all differences. I respect all beliefs and all convictions. This respect extends to others but my personal beliefs must be respected as well.”

    That’s where you are wrong, bigot. Now pay up.

    I succumbed to morbid curiosity and watched that video about the chubby gal. So precious.

    On an entirely unrelated note, I watched a movie last night which featured Mamie Van Doren in her prime, in various states of undress. I gotta tell you, she was not a representative depiction of the female form, then or now. I don’t think women picketed the theaters, though.

  27. The Late P Brooks

    Yeah; why did you put them there?

    To keep them safe, and so I’d know right where to find them.

    https://reason.com/2023/05/16/for-6-5-million-durham-report-finds-fbi-didnt-have-solid-dirt-on-trump-and-russia/

    “ Durham’s scathing indictment of the initial Trump-Russia probe may be correct. But that doesn’t make his report a valuable use of taxpayer money. Plenty of people in power drew similar conclusions previously, without all of the additional time and expense.

    In fact, the report itself mirrors much of the commentary. It’s much more detailed and consumed far more (taxpayer-funded) resources, but it’s only somewhat of an exaggeration to say that it’s not much more than a 316-page op-ed with a huge price tag.

    Ultimately, the Durham report represents one more entry in a sad, symbiotically conspiratorial, paranoid juncture in American politics. Democrats spent years convincing themselves of an elaborate Trump-Russia conspiracy and, when given the opportunity, used the levers of government to try and prove it even when the evidence wasn’t there. Republicans rightfully repudiated this.”

        And I love Asawin calling out “tough guys” while posing as a someone who knows a thousand ways to restrain a man.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      If the odds play out right that was less risky than just cold cocking the guy full in the face which would have the most likely other course of action. Anything else and you give him the initiative and if he has a weapon of some sort, good luck.
