*Buzzzz* *Buzzzz*
âAw hell, not again.â  I said.  âWaitâŠthis is a Zoom?â
HI BROWN MAN. Â BROWN MAN ON THE AIR
âWhat?â
WELCOME TO FOREST LAWYER PODCASTâWITH STEVE SMITH, ESQ
âWhat?â Â I asked again, even more confused.
STEVE SMITH LIVE STREAM DEBATE. Â GET OPINION ON FLY. Â HOW STEVE SMITH ROLL
âYou. Â STEVE SMITH, have a podcast?â Â I asked
âIts actually rather popular. Â STEVE is one of the biggest voices on Rumble focusing on the Free Cascadia Movement.â Â Sugarfree chimed in.
âWhat?â Â This whole thing appeared like I was being punked. Â âAm I being punked?â
âGive him time Mex. Â Heâll get around to it.â Â Swiss apparently entered the call.
BY PUNKED. Â MEAN RAPE.
WHYCOME FOX THREATEN LAWSUIT? Â NO PODCASTER USE 3 MIN? Â STEVE SMITH DO WHAT STEVE SMITH WANT
âThere is a fair use issue at play here, STEVE.â Swiss said in lawyer mode, staring at a stack of notes with a pair of glasses partway down his nose. Â âIts a newsworthy event they are hosting, it is inevitable others will need to use the footage. Â This is a hapless attempt at enforcing IP on their part.â Â He looked back up and removed his glasses for emphasis. Â âIts a toothless threat that will get laughed out of court.â
STEVE SMITH PROMINENT FOREST LAWYER. Â BRING ON FOXY LITIGATION
âYes! Â In this sick timeline of âWoke Fox News,â they only stand to embarrass themselves some more. Â So bring it on!â Â Swiss replied using the glasses with a violent stabbing motion at the camera. Â His optical gladius in full display.
BY LITIGATION. MEAN RAPE
BROWN MAN. Â YOU TAKE LONG TIME TO GET BEER. Â YOU GET LOST THIS FAR FROM BORDER?
âNice.â Â Swiss was only going to encourage the Mexican jokes.
âHe got you there.â Â Sugarfree replied.
âSwiss I have never seen you wear glasses, do you even wear glasses?â I asked.
*narrowed gaze*
WHAT YOU DRINKING BROWN MAN?
âTonight its Throne Brewing Orange Drumstick Never Quit. Â Its a citrusy IPA that caught my eye due to their use of Braille writing on the can. Pretty fitting for this scenario given this debate is mostly blind fools choosing their retarded leader. Â Also its utter shit, but still well made. Â A solid 2.1/5.â Â I answered.
HOW ABOUT SWISS MAN?
âI have the best summer beer there is:  Erdinger Hefeweizen.  Who by coincidence happens to be todayâs sponsor.â  Swiss put the glasses back on partway down his nose again.  âWhether you are passed out at the park, or trying to get the car out of parkâŠâ. He removed the glasses with a purpose again. ââŠnothing beats Erdinger.â  He held up a 2 liter stein.
PROST SWISS MAN
STEVE SMITH held out an absurdly large stein and both began chugging. Â They slammed their glasses in unison.
SUGAR MAN, HOW ABOUT YOU?
âThese edibles ainât shit.â Â Sugarfree replied.
SWISS MAN. YOU THINK OF GOOFY PENCE MAN?
âI donât know why they thought a Baptist robot would appeal to voters. Â On one hand he makes a compelling business case from the standpoint of Swiss Corps Internationalâs weapons trafficking division. Â Arming Ukrainian separatist movements is bound to be highly lucrative for the foreseeable future.â Â Swiss replied.
SUGAR MAN?
âIs Pence wearing Balenciaga? Â Its so typical for a guy that pretends to be so righteous. Â Leather trenchcoats and fake tits however are totally in style right now. Â White really is his color. Â I canât think of a better outfit to wear on this stage to set himself apart from the pretenders. Â He projects the level of Satanic decadence he needs to win over the globalists in their pursuit of hastening the apocalypse and finally declaring war upon the Lord in Heaven.â
BROWN MAN?
âI asked you twice already to make Sugarfree go last.  Everyone listening in at this point is still trying to process everything he just said.  Seriously back this up or reverse⊠Rumble is fucking weirdâŠand listen to that again.  Theres no sense in me trying after that.â I said incredulously.
OKAY BROWN MAN. HOW YOU LIKE FAT MAN ANSWER?
âChris Christie could promise to abolish the IRS. Â He could even promise to light the Fed on fire and piss on the ashes. Â He doesnât understand that by being fat, I have no interest in his opinions. Â Everything he says is couched in the fact heâs fat. Â By being fat, means he doesnât have a handle on his life and even if he does he doesnât care heâs fat.â
SUGAR MAN?
âIs there a word that describes camel toe on a man?â
SWISS MAN?
âIts called MĂ€nnlicheGenitalien KamelzeheAussehen.â Â Swiss said. Â âSee, its not that hard to follow Sugarfree, Mex.â
WUNDERSCHĂN!
SLAP FIGHT BETWEEN BROWN MAN AND BROWN LADY FUNNY. Â SUGAR MAN?
âWhat happens when our politics turns into an Indian man, and an Indian woman fighting over how much money the government is supposed to give Jews?â Â Sugarfree asked?
âMeh. Â This is starting to sound like Prathibaâs podcast.â Â Swiss replied.
WHY FLORIDA MAN?
âBecause heâs Trump with autism?â Â I answered.
âDeSantis speaks to me, in my dreams. Â Stalking me. Â Waiting behind every stalagmite in the infinite abyss within my mind. Â Heâs there, constantly licking what I hope is chocolate pudding from his fingers.â Â Sugarfree said.
FLORIDA MAN TALK TO YOU?
âYes. Â He promises me peace, moral clarity, the plot twist to next weekâs Joemala, and a steel erection when I wake up. Â But always insists I maintain my streak of no-fap.â Â Sugarfree replied, eyes wide enough to take in the abyss staring back at him.
THAT FOR REAL?
âHave I missed a Joemala yet?â
The silence was interrupted only by Nikki Hayley pretending to be Margaret Thatcher.
âOkay, I canât do this anymore.â Â I said before logging off the call.
“Throne Brewing Orange Drumstick Never Quit”
Is it made from ducks?
“âIs there a word that describes camel toe on a man?â”

Hefeweizen is not good beer irrespective of the brand.
Completely false.
I gotta agree with Mike on Pie’s statement.
no taste you lot

And me.
Heâs not totally wrong. The banana thing kills me.
Agreed.
I get that. But the strength varies. Some are more clove forward.

Hence the moose knuckle.
To commemorate the bloodsuckerâs wrongitude, I just ordered a pint and a growler of hefe.

Mystery solved
On Friday, the New York Times seemed to have solved part of the mystery of who, exactly, owns all that land. According to the Times, several of the individual names behind the Flannery Associates shield are Bay Area mainstays, including Michael Moritz, the billionaire tech investor; Reid Hoffman, the venture capitalist who co-founded LinkedIn; and Marc Andreessen, of Andreessen Horowitz fame. The coalition also includes Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of the late Apple CEO, and is overall a âwhoâs who of Silicon Valley,â the Times wrote.
The Times’ reporting relied on three unnamed sources âwho were not authorized to speak publicly about the plans,â although Brian Brokaw, a spokesperson for the investor group, did confirm in the story that Flannery Associates is a collective of âCalifornians who believe that Solano Countyâs and Californiaâs best days are ahead.â
The Times also reportedly viewed a pitch document Moritz had sent to a potential investor in 2017, in which he described building a walkable new city in an underdeveloped and inexpensive part of the Bay Area. SFGATE reported earlier this week that a survey had circulated to Solano County residents asking for their opinions on the potential development of âa new city with tens of thousands of new homes, a large solar energy farm, orchards with over a million new trees, and over ten thousand acres of new parks and open space.â
Utopian billionaires. Why did it have to be Utopian billionaires?
*Nice write up Sharpie. That got a few chuckles out of even a curmudgeon like myself.
Mark Levin in Ameritopia goes into detail about the history, motivations and psychology of Utopianism. Good Read. The most troubling aspect for me is that until the 20th century Utopian dreamers only had their pens to sway people. It has been recent that they have the power to coerce people into their fantasies rather than just using the power of persuasion. Yeah, I am looking at the collectivist dictators of the 20th century and on into the 21st.
One would really have to be as ignorant as fuck of history and have the mindset of a 10y.o. child to think that these absurd and horrific dreams will ever turn out differently than they have in the past. Whatever they dream that the world should be is very different than what I want my world to be. I just want to be left alone to commit my own fuck-ups. They want to haul everyone else aboard theirs. I am reminded of the interview with an East German civil engineer that helped build the Berlin Wall: “We had to build the wall. We had to prevent them from leaving. Communism needs people. We had to wall them in to show them that communism can work.” – the fuckwit said that years after the collapse of the USSR and of East Germany and the Berlin Wall. Geez, talk about a brainwashed idiot.
*Speaking of brainwashed idiots, Re: the Paris accord, WHO, and ARAMCO. Trump summarily withdrew the US from that scam. I would like to congratulate everyone who helped Biden re-instate our participation in it. Yep, all the way back to the voters. May they all be gifted with a slow, creeping unstoppable case of colon cancer.
Gracias
Wait, does this mean they’re buying up the land to build their 15 minute city?
Whoever had “theme park” in the pool should get partial credit, I think.
Utopian billionaires
Great band name though.
Hot blooded
Spain won the 2023 FIFA Womenâs World Cup in one of the most convincing runs in the history of the tournament. A week on, however, the news cycle is not celebrating the prowess of the players. Instead, it is dominated by the boorishness of Luis Rubiales, the president of Spainâs football federation, who is under fire for his gross displays of machismo throughout celebrations in the stadium â and who still refuses to resign his post.
On the award platform, knowing that he was on camera in a highly televised event, Rubiales kissed player Jennifer Hermoso on the lips, an act she says was not consensual despite his claims to the contrary. In the stadium, in the moment of victory, he also grabbed his crotch â an inexplicable gesture until you realize that heâs been under constant criticism for the way he treats the womenâs program and sees Spainâs victory not as the athletesâ accomplishment, but as his vindication. While walking on the field after the game, he threw another player, Athenea del Castillo, over his shoulder as though she were a sack of potatoes. It was, he has explained, âa time of maximum effusiveness.â
Rubiales tried and failed to get Hermoso and the teamâs captain, Ivana AndrĂšs, to stand beside him on camera as he issued his âIâm sorry you feel badâ apology and minimized his behavior toward Hermoso and her teammates as ânaturalâ and ânormal.â âIn ceremonies like this ⊠one should be more careful,â he said, which leaves one wondering if he thinks such behavior is still acceptable so long as itâs off-camera.
Help me out here, futbol fans. WTF?
Itâs never just one man. Itâs the men at the podium and itâs the men around them who gave them their jobs. Itâs the men who have starved womenâs football since they bothered to notice that women play it. Itâs the men who have moved into the womenâs game not to improve it, but to exploit it. Itâs the men who step into leadership roles with little experience and capitalize on womenâs work and talent. We are all sick and tired of it.
I wonder what xer opinion is on trans athletes.
Probably something along the lines of, “That’s different, you bigot!!11”
What’s the chances that Luis and Jennifer have been bumping uglies on the down low and forgot to hide it with all the excitement?
It’s Spain. That’s what they do. ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Now they are expected to conform to Anglo standards of propriety or else.
::ponders what his behavior would have been – and what the reaction to same would have been – if he were Muslim::
*ululates, stuffs soccer player into burka*
This controversy is not just about a kiss: Rubiales is dogged by corruption scandals, complaints about the federationâs treatment of the national team and anger at the way he and his federation undermine womenâs leagues in Spain. When players wrote letters to the federation earlier this year, asking for a more professional approach to the womenâs game, he and the teamâs coach, Jorge Vilda, responded to them as if they were spoiled brats and crazy ex-girlfriends.
It is easier to talk about a kiss than it is to talk about the complex institutional problems that govern the labor of the women who won the tournament. This kind of body language is an assertion of the right to trespass into a subordinateâs personal space. Rubialesâ kiss sits on a continuum with discrimination, harassment and, yes, sexual abuse. It is a form of grooming that sexualizes subordinates. It associates power and authority with access to the petty pleasures of these daily forms of sexual subordination.
What a steaming pile of pretentious sermonizing. Please, progressives, continue to suck the joy and spontaneity out of life.
Meh…typical leftist. They latch onto some hopeless boor like that (I have known a few) and then paint an entire gender with a broad brush. It is a dishonest tactic as best. Oh, did I say the leftists? SOP.
Went to Longhorn for dinner with my brother and nephew. Nephew was given the kids’ menu (he’s 10) and ordered a sirloin. While the adults’ slabs of cow were satisfactory, his was abominable. He ordered rare (good boy), but it was basically well done with a tinge of pink in the middle. And it wasn’t seared on the outside so much as burnt. He wouldn’t eat it. I salvaged it for leftovers, but I knew it would take a lot of A1 to make it edible. That was 2 days ago and I’m still pissy about it.
The Stoicism column is Fridays.
đ
Chañnel your Karen and speak to server about improperly prepared steak.
I didn’t notice until after dinner was through. Also, I wasn’t paying. Also, I hate bein Karen, although I will if I must or I’m off my meds.
I know it. I hate complaining on public.
If it was a steak off the kid’s menu, I’m guessing it was a small steak. Those are challenging to cook rare with a seared outside, and probably beyond the talent of a Longhorn grillmaster trying to keep up with a couple dozen adult portion steaks.
No excuse though if it was on the menu.
RIP Bob Barker, 99.
He’s sexually harassing the models in heaven now.

âI have the best summer beer there is: Erdinger Hefeweizen. Who by coincidence happens to be todayâs sponsor.â Swiss put the glasses back on partway down his nose again. âWhether you are passed out at the park, or trying to get the car out of parkâŠâ. He removed the glasses with a purpose again. ââŠnothing beats Erdinger.â He held up a 2 liter stein.
đ
On a serious note, Erdinger is good beer.
âThese edibles ainât shit.â Sugarfree replied.
You should have had the blue ice cream beer.
Franziskaner wheat beer or GTF0.
Weihenstephan ist das Beste!
I’ll drink all three.
NatĂŒrlich!
2nd to Maisel’s Weisse {if you can find it). Weihenstephan is my go to only because I can’t get Maisel’s here.
âWhat happens when our politics turns into an Indian man, and an Indian woman fighting over how much money the government is supposed to give Jews?â
That’s where they break out into a spontaneous dance routine and their love for each other is revealed.
That was 2 days ago and Iâm still pissy about it.
Decades ago, I went to dinner with some friends. The prime rib came out, and mine was so completely overcooked I called the waiter over and told him it was inedible, and to have the cook try again. He wandered off with it, and by the time my meal finally made it out to the table everybody else was completely done eating.
I might still be somewhat irked.
I am still lounging in bed. What a slouch I am! Need to get up, shower, do laundry. But I needed recovery time after this past week.
Then go pick up my guy from the hotel and bring him over so he can do laundry while I cook.
These euphemisms, etc.
Thanks for the flashlight links earlier (tuesday night discussion). Ordered 1 of each of the streamlight recommended. Good points about the China sourcing…I know folks are switching to Vietnam, etc – hopefully more will be divesting in the near future.
Carrier this week was interesting. Different than being underway on the amphibious ships I’ve been on previously. These things are absolutely massive…some day I’ll remember to get pics of more than just the dirty air filters I’m inspecting.
Speaking of witless dupes
Russian intelligence is operating a systematic program to launder pro-Kremlin propaganda through private relationships between Russian operatives and unwitting US and western targets, according to newly declassified US intelligence.
US intelligence agencies believe that the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is attempting to influence public policy and public opinion in the West by directing Russian civilians to build relationships with influential US and Western individuals and then disseminate narratives that support Kremlin objectives, obscuring the FSBâs role through layers of ostensibly independent actors.
âThese influence operations are designed to be deliberately small scale, the overall goal being US [and] Western persons presenting these ideas, seemingly organic,â a US official authorized to discuss the material told CNN. âThe co-optee influence operations are built primarily on personal relationships ⊠they build trust with them and then they can leverage that to covertly push the FSBâs agenda.â
Those super smart journalismists at CNN would never launder propaganda for a state intelligence apparat.
Those shifty Russians. What will they think of next.
Governments have been doing this for as long as there has been governments. Why is this news? Just because Donny’s buddy Vlad is doing it?
It’s news because they want to discredit people who oppose continued western involvement in Ukraine, since they don’t think they can win the debate on the merits.
The US official declined to say whether Russia has used these same tactics to try to influence US elections.
Aww, c’mon. Just between us. The Russians rigged that election back in 2016, didn’t they. We all know they did.
EDIT: I totally forgot to add a oic of the beer.
Crimes against humanity
It also alleges that in postings SpaceX put on job hunting sites and online forums, SpaceX employees specified available positions were only open to U.S. citizens. On applications, potential employees had to check a box indicating their citizenship status, which was then input into a database that managers and recruiters marked with rejection codes, such as “not authorized to work/ITAR ineligible,” “does not meet basic qualifications” and “not U.S. citizen/green card.”
Next you’re going to tell me they restrict their hiring to competent qualified engineers.
They should be forced to just put unsorted applications in a hat and draw randomly.
It will be an interesting case to watch, because if they interpreted the ITAR thing right they were not legally allowed to hire these people. If that is the case, the government is trying to punish people for following the government’s rules.
The Justice Department is seeking to have SpaceX pay civil penalties determined by a judge, hire the applicants who were qualified but rejected because of their citizenship status and give back pay to those who were discriminated against.
Diana Moon Glampers is running the EEOC now.
So fucking ridiculous.
SpaceX didn’t hire me, where’s my cash?

Apprended without incident, apparently
A New York man who made threatening phone calls to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s office last year has been sentenced to three months in prison.
——-
As part of his guilty plea in February, Morelli admitted to calling Greeneâs office in Washington and threatening to cause her physical harm, the U.S. attorneyâs office in Syracuse said at the time.
âYeah, I just donât think I can go on letting you, you know, cause hatred and poison to people. I really think Iâm gonna have to cause you harmâphysical harm,â Morelli said, according to the criminal complaint. âIâm gonna have to take your life into my own hands.â
A subsequent voicemail included threats to âshow you, to your face, right up front, what violence truly is,â with a threat to pay someone âto take a baseball bat and crack your skull. âŠYou are going to get f—ing physically hurt.â
I guess the FBI door-kickers had a prior engagement.
It has been such a mild summer I was surprised how hot it was, even though it’s still August.
A STEVE SMITH podcast?
Wow.
Is every episode going to be about lawyerin’ and RAPE? Because there’s some people at the DOJ that I would like to have as guests on the show to receive the second thingy…
