“He asked Milo if he wanted to have sex with him,” Hunter said as he blew crack smoke all over Karine’s hair. “Gay sex.”

“What did Milo say?” Karine asked.

“No, of course,” Hunter said laughing. “Milo is straight now. He’s been converted! Hallelujah!”

Karine slapped his arm playfully, “Stop it, you’re so bad.”

“I’m serious,” Hunter said. “Straight as an arrow, like all those cocks he used to gobble just disappeared from the historical record!”

They were both laughing on the Oval Office settee when Finnegan helped walk Joe in from the bathroom.

“I pooped,” said the President proudly. “It’s been six days, but I pooped today.”

“Good job, Daddy!” Hunter said.

“Excellent work, Mr. President!” Karine said.

Joe walked slowly to the couch opposite them and sat down carefully.

“I guess you are just going to be here all the time from now on?” Finnegan asked her father.

“Daddy likes to see me,” Hunter said, snapping the band of his jock strap playfully.

“And you should know better,” Finnegan said to Karine.

“Blackberry!” Joe exclaimed. “When did you get here?”

“Hello, Mr. President,” she said.

“We need to talk about 2024,” Hunter said. “I’ve still got Ukraine money coming in and we are going to have to do some fancy accounting.”

Karine stood up suddenly and said, “I can’t be here for this.”

“If we got married, you’d have spousal privilege,” Hunter said brightly, pawing at her ass like a hungry cat.

“Gold star!” Karine said, slapping his hand away and running from the room.

“I feel like I never know what’s happening around here,” Joe said morosely.

“It’s OK, Grandpa,” Finnegan said, patting his shoulder. “We all feel like that most of the time.”

    We need more stories from The Firstiverse.

    • Count Potato

      This story was gay enough.

    • The Other Kevin

      Wasn’t that the Dr. Strange movie nobody liked?

      • Brochettaward

        There are no diverse female teenagers with lesbian parents lacking a discernable personality serving as the role of a magical MacGuffin in the Firstiverse.

        It is no place for the weak or second.

      • Brochettaward

        “I’m serious,” Hunter said. “Straight as an arrow, like all those cocks he used to gobble just disappeared from the historical record!”

        Sugarfree is a proponent of the one cock rule of sexuality.

        I am a proponent of the one second rule of Firsting. If you have seconded even once, you are no Firster.

    • juris imprudent

      …snapping the band of his jock strap playfully.

      I think SF put that in there especially for you.

  2. The Late P Brooks

    “It’s OK, Grandpa,” Finnegan said, patting his shoulder. “We all feel like that most of the time.”

    We’re all just puppets in a madman’s Punch and Judy show.

  3. WTF

    “If we got married, you’d have spousal privilege,” Hunter said brightly, pawing at her ass like a hungry cat.
    Awesome.

  4. Count Potato

    ““He asked Milo if he wanted to have sex with him,” Hunter said as he blew crack smoke all over Karine’s hair. “Gay sex.””

    Kanye?

    • Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

      Donaldya.

    • Certified Public Asshat

      There are rumors.

  5. juris imprudent

    Staying regular is important as you age.

    OK I consider myself warned.

  6. Not Adahn

    “Gold star!”

    I had a MFF with a Gold Star once. She did not touch me, so I guess she still is.

    • Lackadaisical

      MFF?

      Do I want to know?

      • SugarFree

        Male-Female-Female threesome.

      • Lackadaisical

        And now I know what a gold star is too.

      • juris imprudent

        He was with a chick who was into his chick. He got a show.

      • Not Adahn

        I got to play too, just not with one of them.

      • SugarFree

        She didn’t even let you fart-fuck her armpit? Monster.

      • Not Adahn

        She was very, very butch and tuff. She currently teaches BJJ, at the time she was a knife maker. But she was hilarious shy, awkward and intimidated once she got naked.

      • EvilSheldon

        Not gonna lie, that kinda gets an ‘Aww!’ from me.

      • Not Adahn

        She was a good friend. And we had the same taste in women.

    • rhywun

      That whole circle is such a clusterfuck of pretense and mental illness it’s amazing they all managed to gather in the same room at once.

    • Brochettaward

      Did Milo start as a conman or did he get reduced to one after basically being blacklisted by pretty much everyone for something that was utter nonsense?

      • Lackadaisical

        I think he’s always been a bit of a conman. Good while schtick was to be extremely offensive and sick up attention.

    • Certified Public Asshat

      AFAIK, he claims he doesn’t enjoy anything, he just resists the temptation of men.

      • Drake

        Waiting for the right girl to marry is his story?

      • Bobarian LMD

        She lives in Canada? You wouldn’t know her.

      • Drake

        Thanks Fez.

    • DrOtto

      Per that article, Milo is “extreme right” now. Got promoted/demoted from alt-right when he turned straight?

  7. The Late P Brooks

    “Gold star!” Karine said, slapping his hand away and running from the room.

    Is that some sort o lesbian code? Safe word?

    • Not Adahn

      Yes. Means never even tried the cock.

      • Not Adahn

        “Real Lesbians” as opposed to those “experimenting.”

      • Sean

        Huh.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Certified fresh.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Apparently a Goldstar Bisexual has confirmedly gone both ways.

  8. Fourscore

    I’ve really been caught in some sort of SF time warp. The things that I’ve learned on Wednesdays are profound.

  9. The Late P Brooks

    Yes. Means never even tried the cock.

    Ah. What was it they used to say, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”?

    There must be an awful lot of bicycles at the bottom of the ocean.

    • WTF

      So conversely, a man needs a woman like a bicycle needs a fish.
      Seems legit.

  10. DEG

    “No, of course,” Hunter said laughing. “Milo is straight now. He’s been converted! Hallelujah!”

    Karine slapped his arm playfully, “Stop it, you’re so bad.”

    Hunter’s conversion therapy for Karine?

    “I pooped,” said the President proudly. “It’s been six days, but I pooped today.”

    “Good job, Daddy!” Hunter said.

    “Excellent work, Mr. President!” Karine said.

    I laughed here. This was good.

    “Daddy likes to see me,” Hunter said, snapping the band of his jock strap playfully.

    Suggestive.

    “If we got married, you’d have spousal privilege,” Hunter said brightly, pawing at her ass like a hungry cat.

    “Gold star!” Karine said, slapping his hand away and running from the room.

    How long until Karine converts?

    “I feel like I never know what’s happening around here,” Joe said morosely.

    “It’s OK, Grandpa,” Finnegan said, patting his shoulder. “We all feel like that most of the time.”

    Nice installment!

    • Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

      We are firmly in the “We had to burn down the village to save it” era at this point.

    • MikeS

      You know who else was Time’s Person of the Year?

      • rhywun

        I wonder if that guy got the same flowery hagiography from every outlet coving it that Z is going to get.

      • juris imprudent

        Immediately followed by Stalin.

        But both had been preceded by Wallis Simpson. And with that I refute any distinction to be claimed by those bestowed with the title!

      • Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

        Her name was actually Bessie Wallis Warfield, and was a distant cousin of my Fathers.

      • juris imprudent

        Good stuff. Very OT – YT sidebar had this for whatever reason, and it was actually a very good perspective.

      • DEG

        That was interesting. A European that understands America better than many Americans, though he does get a thing or two wrong (when have Republicans rolled back something Democrats have done?).

      • Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

        Trigger Warning!!?111/! Showing the face of HER without warning!

      • DrOtto

        Morris Day?

      • pistoffnick

        Ohh-E-Ohh-E-Ohh

    • whiz

      That was entirely predictable, if disappointing.

  11. Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

    That Trough fed Karine Bitch, she don’t get enough of what she needs.

    I give it too her.

    /Leroy the gardener.

  12. The Late P Brooks

    What are the chances?

    The COVID-19 vaccine mandate for members of the U.S. military would be rescinded under the annual defense bill heading for a vote this week in Congress, ending a directive that helped ensure the vast majority of troops were vaccinated but also raised concerns that it harmed recruitment and retention.

    ——-

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday that Biden told McCarthy he would consider lifting the mandate but Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had recommended it be kept.”

    Is it just my imagination or is Austin a no-shit retard?

    • Semi-Spartan Dad

      It’s a very smart move to keep the mandate for the military from Austin’s perspective. It’s certainly what I’d recommend in his shoes. The greatest threat to Washington DC isn’t Russia or China. It’s American citizens getting sick of their unconstitutional bullshit and resorting to the cartridge box.

      That mandates acts a filter for the military to ensure they have troops who will obey. Same as Jan 6th was used as the reason to filter out police departments across the country.

      • juris imprudent

        It and the rest of the woke bullshit is going to filter out a whole lot of people that would serve. They won’t be replaced by properly woke enlistees.

      • Brochettaward

        You could not fill the ranks with woke enlistees because no matter what the delusional in Washington might think, those people have no inclination to serve.

        Not even offering gender transition on the tax payer dime is going to accomplish what they want.

      • Semi-Spartan Dad

        The whole woke enlistee thing misses the entire point. You don’t need woke enlistees. You need people who will obey. There’s far more of those than just the woke.

        Enforcing the vaccine mandate doesn’t encourage woke people to enlist. It discourages wrongthinkers who won’t obey from enlisting.

      • DEG

        which is what you (SSD) are saying.

      • juris imprudent

        VA ABC – those folks have quite a reputation for being assholes.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Yes they do.

        And they are very protective of their turf.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Being as I work at Army Recruiting. I can confirm that the those with the highest propensity to serve are also those most likely to be vax hesitant.

        All of the other vax-adjacent items like schooling from home and free government money are also ensuring a significant portion of our 18-24 yo population are significantly less likely to serve.

        If the current rate of fill to the military continues, the organizations will be completely broken in a few more years.

        And then they’ll fire up the draft.

      • Semi-Spartan Dad

        Agreed. That’s the entire point of filtering. Why would the leaving soldiers need to be replaced?

      • juris imprudent

        Because the Army is based on hoovering up new recruits. Losing total manpower is a failure of the system and there isn’t one fucker in the place that doesn’t know that.

      • Lackadaisical

        Exactly agreed. He’s an asshole and evil, but you don’t get where he is by being stupid.

      • Sean

        That’s a retard.

      • juris imprudent

        That’s a general who follows orders, no matter how stupid.

      • Brochettaward

        What’s terrifying about that picture isn’t that he is wearing a face shield and mask, but that he has gotten a bunch of Marines to do the same for a useless prestige position that probably comes with some colorful ribbons. But I guess people across the country have done more to keep their jobs.

        What did the great Firster Napoleon say? “It is amazing what a man will do for a piece of colored ribbon.” He just wanted to get his men to do dumb shit on a battlefield which young men have been doing since time immemorable.

      • Rebel Scum

        Darth Austin and his Praetorian Guard.

        Dammit, I was going to go with “Luke, I am your father.”

    • Rebel Scum

      I assume malice.

  13. Tundra

    “Daddy likes to see me,” Hunter said, snapping the band of his jock strap playfully.

    Perfect.

    • Raven Nation

      Tundra: you around second half of next week (Thursday/Friday)?

      • Tundra

        I think so! You headed out here?

      • Raven Nation

        Yeah. My goal is to leave Wed or Thurs, stay in (or around Denver) then head over the mountains. I’ll text when plans are clearer.

      • Tundra

        Perfect!

  14. The Late P Brooks

    You know who else was Time’s Person of the Year?

    Howdy Doody?

    • The Other Kevin

      George Clooney? No wait, that was Sexiest Man Alive.

    • Brochettaward

      The Chinamen is not one of the good ones, either. He is playing the role of traffic cop and then he and his family wanted to get his info to snitch on him to the authorities for expressing wrong think.

      Assholes all around, in my book.

    • Drake

      It’s very working class – and not the sort that wants random assholes telling them how to drive.

  15. juris imprudent

    Cooke zings: One can only assume that, at some point, Republican primary voters will shed their muscular urge to lose every winnable election for which they enter a candidate.

    • juris imprudent

      And just in case you were thinking about it must be Democrat shenanigans.

      • Rebel Scum

        Dems, being top-down authoritarians care about federal control first and foremost.

      • juris imprudent

        JFC – Walker underperformed every other candidate. You’re really going to tell me that just doesn’t matter? What, the Dems didn’t mind being walked all over in the gubernatorial race?

    • Rebel Scum

      It’s amazing what outspending one’s opponent 10 to 1 with millions of dollars in out of state money (and alleged/probable shenanigans) can do.

    • Fatty Bolger

      Maybe at some point, NR will consider why Republican voters might be inclined to doing that.

    • Michael Malaise

      Jesus. How about an NR trigger warning?

      • juris imprudent

        I prefaced it with Cooke.

        My dad was a rock-ribbed Republican and he routinely referred to it as a party known for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Long before Trump or any of the present assholes were out of diapers.

  16. juris imprudent

    Lose the membership, lose the dues, lose the political influence. If only it were happening even faster.

  17. The Late P Brooks

    re: “not my imagination”

    There is a man elite soldiers would gladly follow right through the gates of Hell. The very personification of manly bravery and toughness.

  18. Sensei

    Interesting.

    Philip Padavano, an outside attorney representing the city, argued that when an officer uses force against a suspect, he or she is acting as an agent of the government, not an individual on his or her own behalf. For that reason, he said, officers can’t be regarded as just “persons” as defined in Marsy’s Law.

    “Am I not a person at this moment because I’m wearing a robe?” Justice John Couriel asked Padavano, a former 2nd Judicial Circuit and 1st DCA judge.

    ‘Am I not a person?’ Florida Supreme Court ponders police anonymity under Marsy’s Law

    • CPRM

      Both officers, known to the public only as John Doe 1 and 2, sought protection after the shootings under Marsy’s Law, which Florida voters approved in 2018. The law, marketed to voters as a way to ensure crime victims were put on an even playing field as defendants in court, includes provisions allowing police departments to keep information out of reports that could identify victims.

      I fail to see where they were victims of a crime. I think would be more the crux, not whether or not they are people. But I ain’t a law-yer.

      • Sensei

        Being threatened by an armed individual would make you a victim of a crime.

        However, here they were individuals or the “state” being threatened? Seems like they want it both ways.

      • MikeS

        That’s fucking Marsy’s Law give wide latitude for claiming victim status.

    • Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

      I am the law!!!!

    • banginglc1

      I like this law . . . If one police officer is guilty of a crime they all have to serve the punishment! Wait, is that not how this works?

  19. trshmnstr the terrible

    OT: so, um, all the European lawyers on my call right now are bundled up in hats and scarves and jackets in their houses and offices. Is this whole “freezing out Europe” thing actually happening?

    • Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

      Good to see you TrshY!

      • Zwak, who taser's the chimp with the razor.

        Muy bueno!

    • kinnath

      yes

    • kinnath

      I posted a youtube video awhile back from a young Austrian women who does a video series from her car.

      She has talked about retail outlets selling out of wood burning stoves and people going to the public parks to gather firewood illegally.

      She seems to be of the opinion that things are going very badly, very quickly.

      • kinnath

        Second item on youtube when I went there. Didn’t even need to search.

        Survival Lilly

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        And winter is just getting started.

        The EU is effing bonkers.

        And the US media is not covering it at all. If you had any doubt as to whether corporate media was wholly captured by governmental interests, doubt no more.

      • kinnath

        I tried to post a link to Survival Lilly quoting a government minister saying there would be black outs (plural) this winter.

        Northern Europe is fucked.

      • juris imprudent

        The media will report on the astounding turn of European govts falling even though they won’t understand [read refuse to accept] why.

      • The Other Kevin

        It will be reported as right-wing extremism.

      • Tundra

        Unfortunately there will probably be some truth in that.

      • juris imprudent

        Orban everywhere!!!!

      • rhywun

        The US media fully support their masters who are causing this.

        And just this morning I looked and it’s in the mid 30’s all across France, Germany, and points north today.

      • Animal

        I posted a youtube video awhile back from a young Austrian women who does a video series from her car.

        Why the hell would anyone do a video series from their car?

      • UnCivilServant

        Because they have no suitable spaces in their home.

        There’s a whole set of people who do that. It’s parked somewhere and they talk into a phone.

      • kinnath

        The youtube lawyer dude from Quebec did all of his from his car too. Small kids at home. The car was the quietest place to record.

      • banginglc1

        It’s Europe, the car may be bigger than their home.

    • R.J.

      He’s back!

      • Tundra

        You can’t keep a green man down!

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Back-ish. I just got offered a new job in my current company that would mean me working my everloving ass off doing my current job, my coworker’s (on parental leave) job, and the new job until next April (yes, the coworker is gone until April). I will be acutely short on time as that happens.

        Tangentially, I have a 4th round interview with a company tomorrow for essentially the same mix of the 2 jobs that my current company just signed me up for, so it may all be moot if I take that job. 🤷

      • DEG

        Best wishes!

      • R.J.

        I hope you get it.

      • Sean

        Good luck!

      • Nephilium

        Best of luck.

      • Ted S.

        I hope the ingrate thanks you profusely upon his/her return.

      • banginglc1

        If my memory serves correctly, he took paternity leave not that long ago. Sometimes good benefits bite you back.

      • R C Dean

        Are they going to pay you your coworker’s salary, as well?

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        One German and one French. The French attorney was complaining about the temperature of her house. The German one looked like he just came in from skiing.

      • rhywun

        The happy-go-lucky tone of the first couple paragraphs that I could stomach is sickening.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        “watch as we virtue signal our way into grinding poverty!”

      • Sensei

        Exactly the way I read that too.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        That article… Geez. Stick a fork in Germany, they’re done.

      • Tundra

        Nah, it will be fine. I can’t think of a time when the German people didn’t respond stoically to depravation!

        “At the city’s animal shelter, the thermostat in the dog kennels was dropped to 64 degrees. Dogs without warm fur are given winter coats.”

        Luxury! Just came back from my parents house, they turn down the thermostat to 54. These euros really are weenies.

        A dog that can’t survive at 64 degrees is not a dog. Let it die.

        They’ll be pink with envy.

    • DEG

      I have a friend in Vienna.

      I remember she was worried about what would happen this winter. I just sent a note asking how things are currently.

      She says heat is very expensive, she is running the heat less and is paying more. She says, and I quote, “most of EU can’t think anymore.”

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        anymore? When were they ever able to think?

      • juris imprudent

        Europeans always had that layer of aristocracy, even as they democratized. It’s a big difference between there and here, though gawd-knows we’ve got a class of morons that wish they were accepted as they are in Europe.

      • rhywun

        Yeah, we sure do have our own aristocracy.

      • juris imprudent

        It’s our peasantry that isn’t up to snuff. We just don’t know our place.

      • Fatty Bolger

        Oh, they’re quite good at groupthink.

    • The Other Kevin

      Nice to see your green face again.

      Winter has arrived in Europe. I checked the weather and it’s 30’s with snow most places.

    That mandates acts a filter for the military to ensure they have troops who will obey. Same as Jan 6th was used as the reason to filter out police departments across the country.

    And what of the festering resentments of those who knuckled under in order to stay in? Will fragging make a comeback?

    A man can dream.

    • trshmnstr the terrible

      They’ve shown themselves to be susceptible to coercion.

    On Tuesday, the disdain for Republican leaders and their silence in condemning the violence was on full display at the Congressional Gold Medal ceremony. Recipients were the heroic law enforcement officers of the U.S. Capitol Police and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6.

    As some refused to shake hands with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, it was a much-needed dramatic and unscripted moment during a ceremony that is usually anything but. McConnell and McCarthy shouldn’t be allowed to just go on as if these moments are just business as usual. These leaders and any other elected official who has been either vocal about supporting the unfounded claims of a stolen election or stood in the way of holding those responsible accountable deserve to be snubbed.

    ——-

    After the ceremony, Sicknick’s mother told CNN that they had refused to shake McConnell and McCarthy’s hands because she views them as “two-faced” for claiming support for law enforcement yet at the same time singing Trump’s praises and “kissing his ring.”

    Unscripted, my eye.

    • The Other Kevin

      I’m surprised they did it in one take.

    • Rebel Scum

      their silence in condemning the violence

      Dems have been quite silent about the rampant leftist violence.

      • Certified Public Asshat

        But very vocal about defunding police.

    • Sean

      Tedious. 🙄

      • The Other Kevin

        Jan. 6 must have four legs and spots the way they’re milking it.

      who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6.

      They did what now?

      • rhywun

        Didn’t Nancy refuse extra cops on the scene? That means it was fully protected.

      • juris imprudent

        Curious how the Jan 6th Committee never looked into that.

    • R.J.

      What a bunch of maroons.

    • Homple

      Why were McConnell and McCarthy doing at that orgy of politicized sycophancy anyway? Anyone with the rudiments of dignity would have stayed away, but these clowns showed up, apparently happy to be abused and made fools of.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Because they are the UniParty

      Was Karine there?

    fucking mess. Between the anagrams and rhyming words, this was frustration.

    Blackberry, lololol!

    So I head that Elon got knocked off the richest dude list momentarily by some French After Shave guy.

    I think the Biden admin will be sniffing around that guy’s place soon. Look, now we got our own richest dude, the French love us, they’re just like us. Maybe they give that guy a few more millions of tax payer money and some rocket launchers, do a regime change and replace Macron with him. Then talk him into attacking Russia in exchange for getting Time’s man of the year next time?

    What a maroon

    United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres opened the U.N. Biodiversity Conference in Montreal this week with a stark warning about ongoing widespread loss of animal and plant species, which he called an “orgy of destruction.”

    “Humanity seems hell-bent on destruction,” Guterres said Tuesday. “We are waging war on nature.”

    Guterres laid responsibility for the degradation of the natural environment on the effects of human economic activities, especially climate change, declaring, “We are treating nature like a toilet.”

    “Deforestation and desertification are creating wastelands of once thriving ecosystems,” he said in his address to the conference, also known as COP15, which will run until Dec. 19. “Our land, water and air are poisoned by chemicals and pesticides, and choked with plastics. Our addiction to fossil fuels has thrown our climate into chaos — from heat waves and forest fires to communities parched by heat and drought or inundated and destroyed by terrifying floods.”

    It’s a one way street. People were happier and better off in the Dark Ages, and so was the environment. The Industrial Revolution was nothing more than a vast plot to despoil the planet. Nothing good ever came of it.

    It’s depraved fundamentalist zealotry, all the way down.

    • trshmnstr the terrible

      It also makes reasonable steps to reduce ecological impact impossible. Saying things like “maybe we shouldn’t have a massive kill zone in the gulf of Mexico each year because of all the agricultural runoff” gets lumped in with these Malthusian lunatics.

      • MikeS

        massive kill zone in the gulf of Mexico

        For instance or for real?

      • kinnath

        It has happened in the past. I thought it was mostly resolved by pure greed. Nitrogen running off in to the waterways is wasted money.

      • MikeS

        Yeah, the number of farmers who don’t care about chemical runoff (albeit for mostly selfish reasons) are vanishingly small. I’m not saying it doesn’t still happen, but that stuff is far too expensive for farmers to just put a bunch down and hope most of it sticks.

      • CPRM

        What are the pollutants we can use to kill off the fucking deer? That’s the one I want.

      • banginglc1

        Lead

      • CPRM

        Too slow. I want something akin to the big fish kills.

      • Bobarian LMD

        If you kill all the deer, then what will I eat for a delicious winter snack?

      • juris imprudent

        Then you’re gonna have a buzzard problem.

      • Penguin

        Lead. It can kill even in small doses, with judicial application.

      • Penguin

        or what banginglc said.

    • rhywun

      Is there some school where they all go to learn to talk like that?

      FFS it’s unbearable.

    • Lackadaisical

      And yet no one wants to live like a peasant. Weird.

      • juris imprudent

        See! We don’t know what’s best for ourselves!

    • Rebel Scum

      Humanity seems hell-bent on destruction

      Not humanity, governments.

      Our addiction to fossil fuels has thrown our climate into chaos

      So much wrong in so few words.

      “We are treating nature like a toilet.”

      Frankly, that’s what it is.

  28. The Late P Brooks

    Every country in the world except the Vatican and the United States is a party to the treaty on biodiversity. In 2021, Republicans in the Senate refused to ratify it, citing fears that it would interfere with U.S. sovereignty. The Biden administration will nonetheless send representatives to participate in the talks.

    No way.

    We should be outsourcing biodiversity research to Chinese gene-cracking labs. Maybe they can come up with new types of super-poisonous spiders, or man eating ostriches. Cows which give milk lethal to humans.

    • CPRM

      Cows which give milk lethal to humans.

      They already do! Good thing the government is here to protect you from drinking that unpasteurized poison.

    • rhywun

      If every country in the world jumped off a bridge, should we?

  29. Michael Malaise

    Fuck the Montreal Canadiens.

    • Ted S.

      Is it for something regarding their French-language requirements, or something else?

      • Michael Malaise

        They apologized for goaltender Carey Price’s Instagram post about wanting to be able to own his own hunting guns without reprise from Trudeau’s government.

  30. juris imprudent

    German for sovereign citizen.

    Members don’t recognise the post-war German state and reject the authority of its government. Despite the name, which translates to Citizens of the Reich, this is no organised national movement – rather a disparate set of small groups and individuals scattered across the country who are united in that shared belief.

    There’s the problem, lack of organization. You’d think Germans of all people would be able to get organized.

    • Rebel Scum

      Reichsbürger

      I’d pin that for a German burger joint.

    • Sean

      Another white supremacist, I assume.

      • Not Adahn

        Harlem, like Oakland, is a hotbed of white supremacy.
