The other day my youngest said somebody said he looks like Andrew Tate. Which is ridiculous, because I don’t drive a Bugati, and he looks nothing at all like Andrew Tate. So I asked, “How the hell do you know who Andrew Tate is?” He didn’t have much of an answer. He only seemed to know him by name, not necessarily any of his exploits.
So out of curiosity, in between sets at the gym I asked my oldest son what he knows about Andrew Tate. “Yeah. It was a big deal at school when he got thrown in jail.”
”What was he put in jail for?”
He didn’t really know. So I told him he was put in jail for, nothing. Which is mostly true, since detention while being investigated for a crime they have not yet pressed charges, is apparently normal in Romania.
Enalces!
Mexico City Mayor resigns to run for president. Which would make her the first female Mexican President, should she win.
Applying for asylum? There’s an app for that.
Its hard to make a joke about fungal meningitis, but I’m certain you guys can come up with something.
Its like the plot to a gay porno meant to scare the shit out of NeoCons.
I suppose this is also a porno plot meant to scare the shit out of NeoCons, but for Asian fetishists.
Crazy story. Plane crashes in the jungle, and the kids survived for weeks by foraging for food in the jungle.
Tune time. Have a great Tuesday!
He is still a complete and utter douchebag.
Um, Andrew Tate, not your son.
heh
I mean, we don’t really know his son… but I assume MS’s parenting prevented douchbaggery.
I promise nothing
Yes, but still somehow less insufferable than his biggest detractors.
The middle school soccer team I coached this spring knew about him too, as well as liver king. I left it alone because I didn’t want the soccer moms after me.
Much like Winston’s Mom is somehow less wrong than Paul Krugman.
“President Ebrahim Raisi’s visit to Venezuela came a year and a day after President Nicolás Maduro visited him in Iran.”
I don’t want to see either of them naked.
Well, maybe I would want to see some Chinese spies naked.
Fang Fang go Bang Bang!
Venezuela and Iran have maintained close relations since the government of the late President Hugo Chávez. Maduro, who became president in 2013 after Chávez death, has promoted trade relations with Iran, China, Russia and Turkey to try to overcome the effects of the
economic sanctions. kleptocratic economic policy.FIFT
Tate is in jail for the same reason Gonzalo Lira is in jail – because the corrupt Biden admin told a client state to put them there. Sorry that’s the way it is Pie.
From the last thread- that idiotic Toyota “pretend transmission” idea has been around for a while.
The stereo should just play a looping random gearchange soundtrack, like the car chase in Bullit.

Blinken hails US progress on China spying after Cuba revelations
US officials say China has for years operated spying facilities in Cuba that were upgraded in 2019.
No one respects you cuntes.
China funded the Penn Biden office where Joe happened to leave classified documents lying around. But totally not a bad thing like what Trump did.
Well, it is China, so, shouldn’t we avoid Brinkenship?
Crazy story. Plane crashes in the jungle, and the kids survived for weeks by foraging for food in the jungle.
No Lord of the Flies? No cannibalism?
I am disappoint.
Fun fact, there have been multiple instances of stranded children in the wilderness.
None have been documented as devolving into the Lord of the Flies Scenario. It seems some bitisher’s cynicism doesn’t reflect reality.
The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months
Cool story.
That’s the story I was thinking of.
JFC, The Guardian. While a little over the top, that’s hardly proof of “beating his children”.
I still don’t know who he is.
Its hard to make a joke about fungal meningitis, but I’m certain you guys can come up with something.
No jokes, but it appears that the only thing dumber than cosmetic procedures are cosmetic procedures in Mexico. No bueno.
The plane crash story is incredible. I liked this:

Oh, Anna.
Anna Paulina Luna introduces a resolution to fine Adam Schiff $16 million for his role in the Trump witch hunt.
Its not too late- I still think by hook or crook, Biden gets pushed out. Then Kamala becomes POTUS. Kamala appoints Hillary as VP. Then Kamala steps down. In the ensuing void, Hillary gets sucked into the POTUS position she so richly deserves. And say hello to VP Huma, as a reward for years of service.
“service”
*shudder*
Having to face that diggity would turn any man queer. Bill did it once (allegedly), and it made him even more of a hyper-sexed horndog just to get the images of that thing out of his mind. Her cunte prolly looks like a hastily packed suitcase.

In regards to the “China dumping our Treasuries” link from the previous thread:

The mayor of Mexico City had some big media event in the park when I was there a couple months ago. I thought it was odd to have so many cameras and hangers on just to see the mayor walk into a park. It makes sense now.

Target stores in at least five states were evacuated over the weekend after receiving bomb threats, apparently over their removal of some Pride Month items last month.
The Washington Post reported Monday that local news outlets in Louisiana, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Oklahoma received emails from anonymous people about bomb threats at the locations.

I for one, welcome our Pleasentville like future.
Parents are now calling for the DEI board to be reinstated. It dissolved in 2022 after its one-year scheduled tenure was up.
The only solution.
Yeah, those kids are going to be punished good and hard.
I’m sure it will change their minds. Not.
Finally!
Parents. Why do I feel that that is the wrong word to be used here?
There is hope left still.
“Parents”. I doubt its any statistically significant number, even in Massataxes.
There only need to be 2 in order to use the plural.
It’s really only one person, but the pronouns are they/them.
Just like the “outrage” over the Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction” during the superbowl. Out of an audience of likely near 100M, I think actual complaints to the FCC were some miniscule number like 50.
49 of them: “Why the fuck is Justin Timberlake doing the halftime show!?!”
I watched that footage over and over and over again. Yet to see the malfunction.
Principal Cari Perchase apologized in a letter, stating that she wanted to ‘publicly state that I stand in solidarity and support of the members of the LGBTQ community who were impacted by these events.’
You bet your ass she supports them. Anything contrary would cost her that sweet, NEA, administrator position.
“Days after the disastrous Pride celebration, anti-Semitic and racist graffiti was found inside the schools bathroom. However, Perchase told parents she does not believe it was related to the Pride outburst, the Boston Globe reported. ”
Ill bet $5 that graffiti has been there since school started.
Trifecta.
That school has a Nazi MAGA problem. Nuke it from orbit.
Meh, you can protest shit without being assholes.
Well, you can’t . Why should they?

Thinking out loud.
Now that I have finally been able to do the title/reg paperwork on the Civic, it’s time to resurrect it again. Thinking back to last summer’s issues, which seemed to be heat related. I never managed a definitive test, but it appeared to be a no spark issue. I started making a mental list of heat sensitive components in the ignition system, and the ignitor found its way to Suspect Number One. I just put a new one in (counts back on fingers)… 10 or 12 years ago. That one failed in a different way, but the symptoms check out.
I hate to just throw parts at a problem, but I also really hate calling triple A to get home from the grocery store. And the Oreilly price probably isn’t much higher than the Rockauto price when you include shipping, and the likelihood of getting the wrong part is slightly lower.
What year and model trim? I had an electronic goblin manifest on our 2016 Odyssey when last year’s spring weather turned warm. In our case it went wild triggering relays and lights (and the onboard security system) when the cabin temperature hit about 80° but others had the same problem in cool weather. Turned out to be the “Smart Power Control Unit” failing. Simple part to replace, but requires high end communication with Honda Corporate to program/install.
The app is probably garbage and a money suck, but then there is this.
You know who else is garbage and sucked for money ?
Winston’s Mom?
Trick question. The obvious answer (Kamala) sucked for power, not money.

Andrew Tate was the “Kony 2012” of 2022. I don’t know why the yutes find him so fascinating. My kids would start to talk to me about him, and my standard response was (and still is) “I don’t care about Andrew Tate.”
Stay on
targetmessage.Jill Biden warned Democratic donors Monday that the 2024 election presents a choice between what she described as the “strong, steady leadership” of President Joe Biden or “chaos and corruption, hatred and division” of “MAGA Republicans.”
The first lady, making her first solo outing of the 2024 campaign, commented on the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump, a subject her husband has tried to avoid speaking about.
She expressed surprise that Trump, who is set to appear in a Florida court on Tuesday, had not lost support within his party after the indictment. Jill Biden, speaking in New York City, said she had seen a headline before her flight landed that described a majority of Republicans in a poll saying they were still planning to vote for Trump.
“They don’t care about the indictment. So that’s a little shocking, I think,” she said.
What is shocking is the things that your administration is doing.
We’re protecting you from hatred and those fucking Republican scum.
Those white supremacist, Nazi terrorists are sowing division.
‘Strong’ and ‘steady’ applied un-ironically to Joe Biden? She’s got to be fucking with us, right?
She’s a DOCTOR! She’s just looking out for us!
Frau DOKTOR Jill, shewolf of the DNC.
Shocked that anyone with money will listen to Jill Biden for even a minute.
They aren’t paying to listen to her. They are paying for access.
So, that’s the back door?
You know who else has a back door you can pay to access ?
Again, Winston’s Mom?
RIP, Cormac McCarthy
Sad. Pretty good run, though.
I gotta dig out Blood Meridian again sometime soon.
Damn. Didn’t even realize he was that old.
Damn. What a shame. I am not surprised though, he was pretty old. 90+
He believes that the influx is in part the result of the end of Title 42 in the US, which brought many more people to Mexico in hopes of crossing the US-Mexico border. Those hopes were punctured by a harsh new rule enacted by the Biden administration that bars most asylum-seekers who travelled through other countries from gaining protection in the United States if they enter the country illegally.
“Harsh new rule” = the law as everyone understood it for decades.
The US CBP One app has been sharply criticized by immigrant advocacy groups, who point out that some migrants lack the resources to get a smartphone, absence of adequate internet access to use the app, and may struggle with language and literacy barriers.

Oof. No wonder my UPS batteries failed. I got the new ones this afternoon and just swapped them out. Not only were the sides of the old batteries starting to bulge, but the seams had started failing, exposing a white substance I assume contains a lot of lead.
Since the ocean is a bit far for a memetic disposal, how do I get rid of lead-acid batteries?
Wait until your local waste program has a hazmat disposal?
My town takes them.
Perhaps a friendly auto parts store?
Leave them out front in a sealed box that says “trash.” A random person will grab it in ten minutes.
“Free”
One man’s basura is another man’s treasure.
Most battery dealers will take them
My workplace has a Universal Waste container. I would imagine any IT hardware place would too.
Batteries+
Most towns out here have a waste disposal program for batteries.
If not, trash ’em.
If there’s nothing convenient, yes, toss them in the trash. The planet will be fine.
Definitely take them to your local big box Auto chain.

4 Things Advance Auto Parts Will Recycle for You
*Proceeds to list 5 things*
how do I get rid of lead-acid batteries?
You can probably trade them for cash at a battery place. Call around and see who has the best core charge. Possibly auto parts, as Sensei suggested.
What do they do with the broken, almost leaking batteries that would make it worth money to them?
They’ll be recycled with the rest. They want the lead.
To put in their pencil, amirite ?
Recycling battery materials are one of the few recycling things that are profitable, along with metal.
It’s why they have core charges on auto batteries.
Glassy recycles well, too. When properly sorted. Kraft paper is OK.
Plastics are a waste of time and lots of money.
This. Metal recycles awesomely. Glass is okay. Paper is dependent on the underlying chemicals. Plastic is a nightmare.
Feed them to your orphans.

Two men who were active-duty members of the Marines Corps when they stormed the U.S. Capitol pleaded guilty on Monday to riot-related criminal charges.
Joshua Abate and Dodge Dale Hellonen are scheduled to be sentenced in September by U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes. Both pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.
Many Capitol rioters are military veterans, but only a few were actively serving in the armed forces when they joined a mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
Traitors.
Did they “storm” or were they let in by the police like so many others so the “mob” could perform their “attack”?
I thought it was just a myth that (((they))) rule the world.
Only Hollywood and Mexico City, evidently.
So you are all aware:
Why does the Gringo look like Putin?
Lol. That’s perfect!
I got to the third one and simply couldn’t stop laughing. Jesus help me.
I do wonder if, in the spectacle of Trump’s indictment, Biden, Hillary, Obama….Bush, et al are even a bit nervous.
Or has the Deep State reassured them, “dont worry- the fix is in” ?
Not even a bit, of course.

“The White House has banned trans influencer Rose Montoya after she flashed her breasts at President Biden’s Pride party — blasting the stunt as “inappropriate and disrespectful.”
Montoya, 27, was barred from the executive mansion on Tuesday, as footage went viral of her pulling her shirt and cupping her breasts moments after meeting Biden on the South Lawn at a Pride party Saturday.
In a statement to The Post on Tuesday, a White House spokesperson said she flouted basic etiquette and is persona non grata at future events.
“This behavior is inappropriate and disrespectful for any event at the White House,” the flack said.”

Guess she needs a different shampoo and conditioner.
Sounds like there could be a plotline for Joemala. I wonder where Hunter was? If he can wander around in his jock strap, why can’t ze flash zer bolt-ons?
“It is not reflective of the event we hosted to celebrate LGBTQI+ families or the other hundreds of guests who were in attendance. Individuals in the video will not be invited to future events.”
Isn’t it exactly reflective of the Donks’ de facto platform on hosting trans strip shows for kids?
That’s different!!!!!!
They are exactly reflective of the freak-show types who comprise the “activist community” that the left cheers on. Privately, they’re probably delighted at this turn of events.
“Her” “breasts”.
And yeah, they banned him. Like he was in and out of the White House on the regular.

Probably just a typo.
Yeah … I was kinda just poking at him.
He’s been doing that forever. I wasn’t sure myself.
I would really like for Trump to go away. I wouldn’t like it if he got thrown in the hoosegow, because that whole operation and its hypocrisy is just evil, but it would mean he can’t run.
it would mean he can’t run.
Says who?
Well. I mean, you can’t serve if you’re in jail, so the exercise would only be as a big fuck-you to, well, everybody, and a salve to his delicate ego, but ultimately pointless.
IOW, he’d totally still run.
