“Homosexuality is ‘evil’ and ‘for whites,’” and your tax dollars are (maybe) subsidizing conversion therapy overseas. Also, papists!

Maybe instead of money we should be shipping them medical supplies, medicines, etc (SLDs apply, of course).
There, are you happy, MSNBC? Two Florida men arrested under new FL anti-riot laws for protesting for Cuban democracy in St Pete.
Knock me over with a feather boa. Cuban Head Commie admits there might be problems, but US still to blame, also “delinquents, “unsatisfied people” and “young people.” BLM agrees, praises regime.
Amazon employees quit, protest over sales of “anti-LGBTQ” book, which in reality appears to be only critical of letting little girls transition. Nobody is being forced to buy this book. This book is not subsidized with taxpayer dollars. Amazon carries plenty of pro-alphabet material of all types.
Il Papa no longer ill, and back at work. Still commie, though.
Gays (or maybe Furries) coming for your children, part two. This was posted in the comments this morning by Pie, but bears repeating.

Doesn’t Amazon have around 800K employees? I don’t think two is going to make much of a dent.
If two people did it… but if three people did it then it would start a movement – the Amazon anti-anti-trans movement.
The resignations come after a complaint posted to the company’s internal message board in April drew the support of over 467 Amazon corporate employees, according to a copy obtained by NBC News. As of last year, the company employed over 1.3 million people worldwide and is the second-largest employer in the U.S.
Crippling.
“over 467 Amazon corporate employees”
So it was 468? Why the oddly precise lower bound?
It’s Amazon, and 467 is a PRIME number. Duh.
So they will get access to a vast selection of mostly shitty and uninteresting entertainment?
Golf clap
Yeah, pet peeve of mine (and also of Invisible Furry Hand). Should be “drew the support of over 450…”
Let’s hope that prompted the delivery of over 467 termination notices.

At some point we need to admit that these private entities are state actors. We’ll see how long their lawyers can kick this down the road.
Yes, probably the point where they were granted special immunity and then congress ordered them to censor us or face consequences from the government. And, they underscored all of that by doing exactly what the government wanted of them. Maybe at that point?
And I’m the optimist.
If they’re taking direction on censorship from the government then they are absolutely in violation of the 1st Amendment. I don’t even think Roberts could squirm his way out from under that one. The problem will be showing harm and getting standing.
Glenn Greenwald’s take. TW: Twitter.
He’s just getting warmed up.
As I’ve said before, USSR communism failed. China is not communist, it’s fascist. That’s the proper model for tyranny. Our republic has stage 4 cancer. Accept it.
From the replies:
“I want medical and health misinformation flagged, just as FDA flags tainted medicine and food.
Online misinformation has real world harm , just as physical products and foods”
I find that the people who make excuses for tyranny take to tact’s, depending on the situation. First (this one here) is to ignore any potential problem and act like this is only happening in very specific cases.
The second is to do the opposite and claim that the government does rights violation to everyone (even if it is actually targeted) by linking unrelated incidents and generalizing.
Sadly these work together by first giving there government the power to abuse, and then justifying it because they abuse everyone.
justifying it because they abuse everyone

“White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday finally condemned communism as a ‘failed ideology’ as Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and state Democrats piled the pressure on President Joe Biden to do more to help the people of Cuba during their brutal lock down.
‘Communism is a failed ideology, and we certainly believe that it has failed the people of Cuba,’ she said at her press briefing. ‘They deserve freedom.’
The White House had given a more measured response to the protests that took place over food shortages and power outages. Psaki originally refused to condemn the communist regime amid the state crackdown on demonstrations and instead blamed ‘government mismanagement’.”

Well, HE won’t be in any romance novel anytime soon.
Not even as a 3rd tier villan who is a cousin of the protagonist, trying to ruin everything by throwing in with the primary and secondary villains?
Funny though. This guy sucks so bad that he’s neither the hero not the villain in his own story.
He certainly isn’t a pickup artist.
Well, what about a beta male pron novel?
Talk about a niche. Who’s fantasy would that fulfill?
“fulfill” isnt exactly the right word…
Another untapped market.
It happens. In fact, that is a niche market. However, the guy in the tweet would not qualify for the position of beta male.
Pedant alert:
Beta males are the ones vying to be the alpha. They do a lot of posturing, fighting, etc. Sort of the stereotypical macho behaviors.
The ones who have no hope of ever being the alpha are gammas, etc. down the Greek alphabet. The people called “beta males” are really low-T no-hopers who can’t even be beta males.

After Cubans began protesting for their freedom and over a lack of food and adequate healthcare this week, American socialists announced the country is now officially “not real Communism.”
They are right; Cuba isn’t “real communism.” The Commie leadership failed to carry their kulak and wrecker liquidation sufficiently far to ensure that only real communists remained. As long as one challenger remains alive, one cannot have “real communism.”

Now I have the answer to the question I’ve been asking for months.
Why doesn’t the Black Lives Matter movement care that Afro Cubans are being beaten, arrested, and jailed — and after Sunday’s historic protests in Cuba, also killed — for the “crime” of demanding the basic human right to free expression?
How can a movement supposedly dedicated to seeking justice turn a blind eye to what’s going on in Cuba, as if those batons, choke holds, and bullets weren’t used on Black people?
The regrettable, shameful answer came Wednesday night on the organization’s official Instagram page: Because the organization’s leadership stands solidly behind Cuba’s oppressive, white-led Communist regime.
Simply put, Black Cuban lives don’t matter to BLM….”

make carp a preferred food fish here in the US
*gag*
MYOFB!
People already eat tilapia, carp can’t be any more disgusting than a fish that dines exclusively on feces.
Hey, for eating ass, they actually taste quite good. The couple times I’ve had carp, I’ve found it mediocre at very best. Not a good tasting fish.
Pretty sure tilapia mostly eat plants.
Now catfish are bottom feeders.
And is one of the most delicious fresh-water fish.
I don’t care what my food eats.
I don’t care what my food eats.
Case in point: pigs turn trash into bacon.
Carp are trash fish. Too many bones.
Carp are a major food fish in Europe and Asia because they are one of the only species left there.
They can survive in very polluted water and can withstand food shortages and all sorts of other things. There was a Wisconsin DNR study way back in the ’90s that basically said that by the time you killed the carp off, everything else would be dead. One of their experiments showed that carp could lose 70% of their body weight to starvation and survive. Easily added weight back when food was reintroduced.
Carp are all that are left in the rivers of Europe and Asia, that is why they are eaten. I’m sure if those people had panfish, walleyes and northerns they would sneer at carp too.
I have had some really good smoked carp.
Preparing Carp: An olde Minnesoda recipe.
1. Place a 3-5 lb scored carp onto a cedar plank.
2. Soak liberally with lemon-butter and a vinaigrette.
3. Garnish around the fish with onions, garlic, and rolled strips of bacon. A liberal dose of bourbon across the cook… for flavor.
4. Place in a hot smoker at 225 degrees using mesquite wood chips. A little more bourbon for the cook.
5. Slow cook for 6-8 hours until you’re are really hungry, and most of the bourbon is gone.
6. Carefully remove the carp from the cedar plank and bury it where the dog can’t get to it and eat the cedar plank.
7. scrape the whole mess into the trash and cook up a nice steak.
According to my wife, it is common for pregnant women in Korea to eat raw carp. The idea is that the carp will make the baby strong with round eyes.
I learned of this when she was pregnant with our first kid and wanted me to go catch her some carp from the Mighty Mississippi. I told her no way. The carp from there would make our kid come out with no chin and whiskers.
So, you’re saying there’s lots of carping about the fish name…
Don’t be koi, just come out with what you think.
Y’all are just fishing for a narrowed gaze.
They’re just dangling a bit of swiss on the line to see if they can get a bite.
You should’ve seen the pun that got away!
You’re gonna get yourself in a pickerel.
My first thought was Holy Mackeral! But Pope has already chimed in and wasn’t as impressed with my fish tale.

So, it is terrible, terrible, terrible to try to convert the gay kids, but totes OK to give them lots of hormones and surgery to mangle the fun bits they were born with?
The argument is that by not allowing kids to “transition” you are actually just like the conversion therapy people because you are trying to change them into something they are not.
They’re consistent in their inconsistency, anyway…
The difference is, of course, that I required no meds, surgery, or modifications to ‘become’ gay. I just kind of did that gay thing. And it didn’t stop me from trying the other, later.
Now, I (thankfully) can’t get inside the head of someone who feels she is in the wrong body. That must be horrible. But it’s a decision with life-long consequences. And we’ve also seen proggie nutjob mothers claiming that their infants or toddlers are gay or trans. Granted, your sexual preference may be well established by your toddler years, but toddlers say a lot of shit and I’m not about to start giving one life-altering treatments because he swears there’s an elephant in the back yard.
My 4 year old said that she wanted to marry me when she grows up. The sicko leftists probably think I’m oppressing her incestkin preferences by telling her no.
Not a big enough dowry?
“Paging Dr. Freud…”
-some Robin Williams movie
Hmmmm, I’m trying to decide how badly I worded my original comment.
I don’t think conversion therapy is anything that anyone should be doing. I don’t think it works, I’m pretty sure it is bad for the kid. I also think that there is no need for a law to ban it. Social shaming should do the job nicely. Social pressure did a great job of making all of us decide that being gay was OK.
Mostly I was trying to point out that it is silly to ban a stupid “therapy” that doesn’t do anything, while having no issue with kids (and their parents) deciding that it is OK to really fuck with a kid’s body in very permanent ways.
Do No Harm would be a good motto for the anti-gays and the trans people.
I have always struggled with the idea that my sexual preference is immutably carved in my DNA (let me tell you – it ain’t), but my gender identity can change with the seasons.
Perhaps I need to educate myself on intersectional feminism or something…

I hope we realize what is going on, right? Criminalize all dissent by claiming it is either “misinformation”, “viilent” or “hateful”.
Just like the Commies:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Way
On 26 August 1989, a pronouncement from the Central Committee of the Communist Party was read during the opening 19 minutes of Vremya, the main evening news program on Soviet television.[41] It was a sternly worded warning about growing “nationalist, extremist groups” which advanced “anti-socialist and anti-Soviet” agendas.[42] The announcement claimed that these groups discriminated against ethnic minorities and terrorised those still loyal to Soviet ideals.[42] Local authorities were openly criticised for their failure to stop these activists.[32] The Baltic Way was referred to as a “nationalist hysteria.” According to the pronouncement, such developments would lead to an “abyss” and “catastrophic” consequences.[27]
Why are crackers so fragile?
The American Rescue Plan included loan forgiveness for Minnesota farmers of color. Then a group of white farmers sued.
Local proggie writer is very upset that Biden’s racist set aside for black farmers is being challenged in court. The reasoning seems to be that a long time ago there was a lot of racism and the govt didn’t give money and assistance to one set of farmers because of the color of their skin. Now, to make up for that evil, the government is not going to give money and assistance to one set of farmers because of the color of their skin.
It was racist when they did it because they were evil racists. It’s not racist when we do it because we are good prog-fascists.
Cause comes after effect in prog-fascist-land
Ironically, it was most likely the previous progs who implemented such racist policies.
See, and few of us believed there was actual systemic racism going on. Here’s yet another governmental program that treats people difference based on skin color.

The only thing I can think in re: Monkey Dildo Assman (and this includes DQ story hour) is the left is so, so far up its own ass on so many of these things. They have eliminated all means of listening to the rest of the world/country and do not realize that they are no longer winning friends and influencing people.
This is pretty sad, as I think it will unravel a lot of hard and worthwhile work.
And you can see a lot of the same thing with the battle going on over CRT, which will give the suburbs to the R’s as it, in effect, tells the Karens that their little Karenettes are racists. And you cannot go against mother Karen, ’cause if you do…
I’m curious as to what “hard and worthwhile work” will be unravelled by leftists alienating normal people.
You sound like you are opposed to parents fighting to keep CRT out of their schools, but I find that hard to believe.
I think he’s saying things like acceptance of homosexuality.
Makes sense. The pendulum swings, the backlash overshoots.
Meant to add: I don’t think we’re anywhere near that yet. But the world does tend to work that way, and bayonetting the survivors of a culture war battle is being normalized.
That’s what I would assume, the backlash is really going to go back.
Oh, am definitely not opposed to parents fighting to keep racist crap like CRT out of schools. I am simply noting where most of the Karens live, and what really motivates them, namely attacking their children.
But to keep it in perspective, most small towns are having none of this and we already know where the conservative line is. And, at the same time, where the line is in the urban centers of the US, notwithstanding the fucked over black families who are fighting this shit. But the real battle for it is, as with most things, in the suburbs. And this has activated the Karens to no end, as nothing is allowed to fuck with their kids. You can’t call them little racists, you can’t bully them, and you sure as shit can’t keep the mothers, the Karens I am referring to, off the school boards.
We are now seeing the awesome power of a fully operational Karenstation.

“Cuba does NOT have “communism”. Anyone with just a basic understanding of what communism is knows this (so why make such a ludicrous assertion?). The people do NOT collectively own and control the means of production. An elite owns and controls them. Cuba has state capitalism.”

Your mom has state capitalism.
I believe the state does own most of the economy of Cuba, as per Communsim. The state is controlled by an elite, as per “mid-stage” Communism.
Somehow it never makes it past that stage. Can’t quite figure out why, but they’ll definitely get it right one of these days.
I’d say it’s not even a joke anymore, but it never was.
I’d say Cuba is the second state in my lifetime to go from “fantastic communism” to “not real socialism”. I’d add the USSR in, but I think that had already started before i was born.
That damn inefficient capitalism.

Funny how it always, always, always works out like that. It’s almost as if the repeating pattern should tell ‘Socialists’ something.
The way it tells something to people with IQ’s higher than room temperature.
Put your muzzles back on.
Los Angeles County is re-implementing a mandate requiring residents to wear masks while indoors, regardless of vaccination status as the county continues to see an increase in COVID-19 transmission, county health officials said Thursday.
The county previously only recommended mask-wearing indoors.
When will LA County’s new mask mandate take effect?
The new mandate will take effect at 11:59 p.m. Saturday.
No.
Thanks for stopping by! Door’s to your left.
Brilliant. I’m sure that everyone in a tavern at 11:59 PM on Saturday night will quietly don a mask when asked to do so. Should be some interesting footage.
Which reminds me, back in the day one of the shore towns up here decided to force bars to close at midnight while neighboring towns closed at 2AM. This lasted one season IIRC, the results were predictable and not pretty (this is the town where Jersey Shore is shot):

I spent a number of evenings at “Dudley’s by the Sea”, ’58. All college kids and me. Good times
Fucking rat fuckers!!! They can drag me to jail, I ain’t wearing the fucking thing. My supermarket just changed the sign to masks recommended for the unvaxxed, signalling that I can ditch the fucking feedbag. I will be taken away in handcuffs before I’ll wear the fucking thing in public again. FUCK THESE motherfuckers.
I’m ready, when’s the protest? I got 10 days of quarantine, so I can go every fucking day.
My wife pacing and telling me that we need a massive crowd to do a “sit in” sans masks. It’s refreshing that she’s angry at the government this time.
OT – got a little good news last night: The HS class reunion that was postponed last July on account o’ the ‘VID and that I thought was going to be THIS month has actually been postponed until NEXT July. So one more year to lose weight, get a better job, write that novel, paint my masterpiece…
High school reunions are only good as opportunities to exact revenge on your enemies.
My somethingeth reunion would have been last year as well. The one 10 years ago, I went to the reunion for a high school I didn’t even go to (I would’ve gone there if we hadn’t moved just after 8th grade). After seeing pics from the reunion of the H.S. I did go to, I’m happy with the choice I made.
Lucky you. We had a 50th scheduled last year (which I planned to attend), postponed to this year because OMG virus. I politely responded “no” to the first two two invitations to the “51st”. The third, insistent reminder came last night. I do not think I’ll be hearing from them again; my HS classmates are for the most part exactly what you would expect from suburban NJ. I do not miss them.
I thought about going to my fiftieth high school reunion in a few more years, but then I remembered that I don’t give a crap about any of those people except for the couple I’m still in touch with.
My Mom hosted her fiftieth high school reunion at their place in Allamakee County. At the reunion, there were six attendees; they were all that were still alive.
Mom graduated high school in 1944; there were eight boys and four girls in her class, including Mom. By one year after their graduation four of the eight boys were dead. Two in the Pacific, two in Europe. The war was really hard on small towns.
We had a high school meet up 2 weeks ago. 7 widow ladies, 5 couples, the 66th. We don’t call them reunions anymore, few out of towners can attend. Now it’s in the afternoon for lunch, only saw 1 partaking of the nectar of the gods and she wasn’t driving. Class of about 85.
Still fun.
Class of ’85? That’s a few years after I dropped out. No wonder you’re healing like a teenager!
Class of ’55, 85 grads
Got it! I’m really glad you’re recuperating nicely, too.
I thought about going to mine, just to flout being the only one who actually reformed, but I don’t care that much. Besides, I’m a little bit scared of my former classmates.
The brilliance of Bob Reich…
https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1415646468862627849
Life isn’t fair until everyone can go to space. Or something.
To call Robert Reich a fucking idiot is a grave disservice to fucking idiots everywhere. As Rowan Atkinson once said, “he is the kind of man people emigrate to avoid.”
There’s a reason why he is considered an oracle of the gods over at DU.
Because he yells at people’s shin bones like mini-me?
Agree, he’s in the same category as Max Boot and John Brennan. Give them all a one way ticket to Pluto.
Billionaires taking airplane rides isn’t a sign of progress. It’s a sign of grotesque inequality that allows a select few to travel great distances while the rest of humanity suffers.
Billionaires enjoying exotic fruits and spices like bananas and cinnamon isn’t a sign of progress. It’s a sign of grotesque inequality that allows a select few to sample rare culinary delights while the rest of humanity suffers.
There’s like a billion of these.
Be fair, at least he has thrown off his racial tendencies. Lord of the Rings would have you believe all dwarves are only interested in getting rich.
But it’s ok to take money from everyone and have government pick who goes to space.
Got it.
He’s just mad because they won’t make a suit that will fit him.

Use more loctite.
Last time I went to Knott’s Berry farm, the rides were dilapidated and rusty. I was at the top of the sudden drop ride and looked over my shoulder. One of the bolts was rusted so bad, the head was missing altogether. Did you know, you can see the Hollywood sign from up there? It’s about 60 miles away!
Well, 35, according the “Do evil” company’s map.
Just raise the prices on those rides. The extra thrill of actually risking disaster ought to command a premium over lame safe rides. In the same vein, “reality” shows would be far more entertaining if people incapable of finding food actually starved, for example.
Please.
Now, OTH, Action Park…
https://www.classactionpark.com/
I was there once before it closed. ?
My senior class trip was to Great Adventure in 1987 (dating myself I know.) We went on Lightning Loops, one of the first looping roller coasters early in the day. A few hours later somebody fell out at the top of the loop and died. Of course they didn’t broadcast it to the park, but inevitably the word spread and we found out. We just went on whatever other rides we wanted to until it was time to go.
Red Sox/Yankees Game Postponed Due To Yankees’ COVID-19 Outbreak
The Yankees as a whole have passed the league’s mandated 85% vaccination rate , though Cashman said that only “most” of the six players had received vaccines.
So one guy wasn’t…?
Most importantly, Cashman indicated that the cases appear to be asymptomatic, saying “As of right now, everybody is ok.”
Am I allowed to ask questions…
God, I love progress. Used to be you had to actually be sick and provide a doctor’s note to be excused from work. This is so much better.
Now all you need is some soda and a COVID test
Tell me! I get ten days off, paid by supplemental sick pay to quarantine after I just returned from FLA. I didn’t realize it or I would have left off one day of VC I only included for recoup time. It’s covered anyway.
I’m wondering how long is left before I’m Ubering to NJ to pick up my workstation and cart it back home again. Oh wait, it won’t be safe to leave the house so I guess some essential worker ? will have to mail it to me (again).
Banish the foul, unclean heathen! And then lock up the city; hell, the state. Just to be safe. ??
Do you plan on leaving first 🙂
I don’t go anywhere anyway. WTF do I care.

The only check we actually got was Trump’s, 1200 for me, 1200 for my wife and 600 for my kid. Biden and Newsom both shafted us. Now they want to pretend that an early refund is a windfall. Fuck these people.
Hey, that was their money and they were generous to let you keep a little.
Wait a second. She’s got children, and has an income under the threshold to get the welfare payment?
Today I picked the first tomato of the season. Tonight I eat the first BLT of the season. Crispy bacon, home made oatmeal bread -toasted to perfection, a perfect, vine ripened tomato, fresh garden romaine, and Duke’s mayonnaise.
Yum.
https://media.giphy.com/media/vdbrUjzrUEGly/giphy.gif
I could eat a BLT every day.
I rather like BBBs. Bacon, bacon, bacon on buttered toast with mayo. Ain’t nobody need no lettuce and tomato.
You know how to hurt an old guy, Tulip. We’re still a few weeks out. Missus F bought a tomato at the store a few weeks ago, waste of money, bacon and bread.
I ate it leaning over the sink, like God intended
HAWT!!
Jealous. This is the first year in about 30 years that I have not grown tomatoes. Because I thought we were moving in the spring, but the housing market went completely insane and I lost the will to get in a bidding war with 30 all cash offers on every house we could find.
Yep, I just picked the first grape tomatoes – amazed that they were ripe already.
Today must be BLT day. That’s what we had this evening. My son insisted we eat the giant slicer tomato from the garden tonight.
Paired with a delicious watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew salad.
Homemade oatmeal bread sounds delicious.
Today must be BLT day.
BLT just seems like a good summer meal.
From that inappropriate library story:
Something makes me doubt the sincerity of their apology.
That is truly fucked up.
I am proofreading the biggest bowl of word salad I have ever had the misfortune to have to read, outside of education theory textbooks. (OCR didn’t do too well with the scan of the book.) The topic is poverty in underdeveloped nations. It was written in 1985. At that time, apparently, our world overpopulation problem was going to be solved by imminent thermonuclear war.
So cute.
Ah, the mid eighties! Commies were still the enemy, dolphins needed protecting and pit bulls were a menace. Porn was still not cool with the man, and people only just started smoking their cocaine. I miss those days. Overpopulation was a huge thing, but not as much as the seventies. Back then, we were about to run out of everything and freeze to death.
Bring back neon fashion!
Neon nights? Guess we had us a high time or two!
BTW, ARS is planning a show nearby, well the shell of them remaining anyway. Starting to look like the Fuhrer, fake doctor bitch is trying to to a stop to all of that. Fucking bitch.
“I am proofreading the biggest bowl of word salad I have ever had the misfortune to have to read”
When did you start editing for the NYT?
Right?!
At that time, apparently, our world overpopulation problem was going to be solved by imminent thermonuclear war.
No shit. We fucked that up and it didn’t happen but there is still time!

Fat shaming!

It’s funny because it’s true. Kohl was a big boy.
Not sure if this is old news already around here, a few of us work.
But…
Oh, sure Nunes, sure, whatever you say
That’s Nunez, with a capital Q, thanks.
*holds breath*
I like Devin Nunes, as far as one can “like” a politician, but he stood firm in the face of so much horrible, godawful torrential garbage when many of his peers would have, and did just crumble.
I like him too, but he’s full of shit up to his eyeballs on this one.
Agreed. No way that report ever sees the light of day.
LOL, they’re gonna put Nunes in jail for investigating the wrong people. It’s OK, he seems tough enough to make it.
He’s the toughest congress critter in Cali. He could get on the 5 and take it all he way… never mind, I have to stop doing that, lol.
No, his district is up the 99, of course you gotta take the 5 to get to Grapevine where the 99 turn off is, so there’s that. Man, I gotta stop too!
He might believe it. But I just cannot figure out how everyone in Washington doesn’t know what we know, that Barr and Durham were burying anything that would be embarrassing to the agency.
There is enough that has been publicly disclosed to probably put both Obama and Biden in jail, not just impeach them and toss them out of office, but put them all in jail. Yet they couldn’t find enough evidence to even mildly derail the career of a government lawyer who falsified documents in order to obtain an illegal surveillance warrant against a US citizen using a secret court designed only for surveilling foreign communications?
I mean, if you can’t even put that guy in jail, and you are a federal prosecutor? I guarantee they could put anyone of us in jail for the rest of our lives given a week in the level of resources they put into this one. Yet not one single person even got outed for their role by the attorney general’s investigations.
Cover up. I don’t see how they don’t see it.
As well as CO. Well at least in this house. CUBA LIBRE! Thanks for the links Tonio!
I got to honk and thumb’s up the protesters in Daytona. Meanwhile, they are protesting for communism back home in Cali.
Looks like them White Hispanic extremists in FL and CO are going to get in trouble for their radical extremism.
I don’t know what the national media is doing, but down here in South Florida they are covering the assassination of the Haitian president quite heavily.
Apparently the US government thinks a Florida security company was involved.
Here’s where it gets weird. Today they had a photograph of a meeting at the security company that they released to the media. Several people are circled and the media tells us how nefarious these people are.
I don’t know exactly what’s happening, but this sounds very strange to me. Why are they putting out a photograph of a meeting at a security company with circles and arrows? Why are they perp-walking a bunch of Colombian nationals that used to contract for the US government?
A few years ago I might have raised an eyebrow, but moved on without thinking about it much. But after what they did with the fake Russia story? And after everything we’ve seen in the last few weeks about how much of the media is actually affiliated with the CIA?
It seems very odd. Odd in the “we need a fall guy” sort of way.
Suddenly our government is talking about how much they are cooperating with the government of Haiti to bring people to justice. 5 minutes ago, weren’t we talking about how corrupt that government is? Aren’t we questioning the very legitimacy of that government since they had canceled elections?
“I don’t know what the national media is doing”
Lying
Well, duh! It’s their damn job.
Worse…. Many of them are telling the truth.
That is what has really been scaring me of late. People keep saying things that are absolutely farcical, bit they seem to sincerely believe it.
Like the guy standing in front of a burning building talking about how everything is “mostly peaceful”. I think most of them are just completely make able and will believe whatever they are told to believe… Just like Orwell wrote about double-think.
It is easier to see with some of the crazier Q stuff, but the left is way more batshit crazy with their ability to turn on a dime and not see a contradiction
.
Today there were lots of stories about anti-vax republicans killing us all. The exact same person who told me they would not take a vaccine 12 months ago is now telling me that the Republicans are crazy and antiscience because they question vaccines. They have no recollection that this ever occurred.
It is really scary. Like lunch mobs scary. Or people in ovens scary.
Violently disagreeing over policy, I understand. Blindly believing multiple contradictory stories entirely designed to demonize political opponents as inhuman and ethical to assault or kill? That is harder to swallow.
But I cannot argue with reality. We are surrounded by people who would believe that Glibertairians planned to overthrow the government and would happily see us all hunted down and torn assunder by the mob.
I hate lunch mobs.
His wife just wanted a divorce!
I got ten bucks they check and see if any of them have lego sets of downtown Port-au-Prince. I also do not count out the CIA from murdering anybody. I am not up on Haitian politics and cronyism lately and have not been following this story, but did the Pres slight the Clintons in anyway? Mis-use some money that should have gone to their clan?
And that monkey’s name? Bi-curious Geogre. And now you know the rest of the story.
George, dammit
