“They made me leave, Mama,” Andy said, sniffling, ”Those mean bitches stole my office.”
“There, there,” Nancy said, smoothing his greasy hair out of his red and swollen eyes.
“They just don’t understand that I’m Italian and emotional,” he sobbed, kneading her rot-black breasts with his sweaty hands. “This is just how I interact with people. All people!”
She shifted under his weight and a little piss dribbled out to stain her office chair.
“Even Joe told me to resign!’ Andy wailed.
“Fuck Joe,” Nancy said. “We should have never leth him be President.”
“Fuck Joe?” Andy asked, his tiny reptile mind struggling.
“He hasn’t come to meesh in years,” Nancy said angrily. “Years!”
“Why not, Mama?”
She looked out the thick Lexan of her office window and sighed. “He says I’m jush too old for him.”
Andy stood and looked down at her sitting in her office chair, legs splayed, her shar-pei body oozing through the armrests, thick grey thatch of pubic hair gone to obscene seed.
“How could anyone not want you?” Andy asked. “Just look at me!” he said wiggling to slap his limp penis side-to-side across his thighs. “I couldn’t get more hard than I am with you.”
“He saysh he likes them younger,” Nancy said morosely.
“Younger? Nonsense!” Andy said. “I’d shit on your chest any day!”
“You are sush a kind man, Andy,” Nancy said, struggling to force herself to blush, old blood pushing itself into her neck and face.
God help me, My Eyes are burning!

I just saw the weirdest thing. There’s a thunderstorm going on right over my house, and as I often do, I have lightningmaps.org pulled up. It’s supposed to show lightning in as close to real time as possible, usually there’s a 2 second delay or so. I just saw the web site show a strike first, and then the sky lit up outside. There were no other strikes in proximity to that at the time.
*puts on insulated tin foil hat*
Maybe the nearby station picked up this
A cloud to ground lightning strike begins as an invisible channel of electrically charged air moving from the cloud toward the ground. When one channel nears an object on the ground, a powerful surge of electricity from the ground moves upward to the clouds and produces the visible lightning strike.
I was thinking something like that, or that there was a cloud-to-cloud discharge that happened nearly simultaneously and was picked up.
Just a glitch in the matrix. don’t be alarmed.
Nothing I can say.
‘cept maybe “Keep ’em coming.”
Joemala went from Hammer Horror to slasher movie to Saw like depravity. This is not a badge of honor.

Why would anyone let their child near Joe Biden, especially these days?
People can rationalize anything if enough money, power, and social status is in play.
Why would anyone let their kid go anywhere near Hollywood?
Money, money, money, money!

There is a certain sophistic rhetorical genius to giving the same name to both cause and effect.
Not only that, but whoever disagrees with your position is now a climate denier.
Only an anti-science lunatic would deny that climate is a thing!
Similar to how somebody who vaccinated their kids, gets flu shots, but has reservations about the emergency COVID vaccines is an anti-vaxxer.

So they quarantined reddit.com/nonewnormal which was some mild-mannered opposition to the vaccine mandates and such. They really can’t stand anyone counteracting the narrative can they? Gross.
Also Nancy, disgusting. Thanks SF.
I’m not sure if they realize that when you try to exterminate opinions, it only drives them into underground enclaves where they become even more radical. I’m seriously worried that some unhinged moron is going to shoot up a vaccine drive or something and poison the whole cause of opposing mandatory vaccines.
There are already people sabotaging vaccination sites in greece.
It is just the way the Greek people demonstrate affection!

“If you get paid to talk people into doing stupid shit they’d never do otherwise, you might be a FED”
“If you’re more concerned about Trump talking over America with an army drunk dads than you are about Biden’s son using money he got paid to peddle his father’s influence by foreign countries to liquor up and sex up an underage family member……you might be a FED!’
I should be Jeff Foxworthy’s new manager.
I’m not sure if they realize that when you try to exterminate opinions, it only drives them into underground enclaves where they become even more radical.
I honestly don’t think they care. At this point I think they’d almost welcome the shooter. To justify a crackdown.
Oh heck yea they would. They’d get a whole fucking Christmas list out of that:
– Reclassify the “vaccine hesistant” as domestic terrorists and turn the national security apparatus on them
– Ban some more types of firearms
– Require a vaccination card to buy whatever types of guns they haven’t banned yet
Maybe they do realize that, maybe they don’t. But the absolute righteousness behind this censorship is something to behold. Disinformation is newspeak hell for whatever contradicts our official position of the day.
You can’t just let people spout out realfact when it goes against the rightthink. It’s like shouting fire in a crowded theater!

So- if youtube is going to muzzle Rand Paul because what he said is deemed to be “misinformation” shouldn’t they be obliged to offer up some sort of substantiation of that charge other than a mere barefaced appeal to authority?
If masks really do make a meaningful difference, there should be plenty of hard evidence by now.
Haha, just kidding.
No, because 100% of people aren’t using them, or using them right, the data is all suspect. Trust us, if you all did what we say, it’d be fine. But for those evil noncompliers over there, they’re wrecking the whole thing. Blood on their hands!
When people use this excuse with me, I always tell them, “If your plan doesn’t work without some unrealistic level of compliance, then it’s not a very good plan.”
“BUT I KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU – DAMN YOU, DO WHAT I SAY” /the little fascist voice inside everyone with a plan
From the article you posted in the am links:
“Paul falsely claimed in the removed video, “Most of the masks you get over the counter don’t work. They don’t prevent infection,” adding that “cloth masks don’t work.””
“Falsely claimed”. “Without evidence.” Even my local news channels fling that shit around these days. I haven’t seen a single “falsely claimed” appended to the Russia collusion hoax, the innumerable lies routinely spewed by all of the people on the Right Side of History, etc. Media outlets have done incalculable damage to this country.
“Without evidence” my ass. There’s at least a dozen clinical trials to back that up. And none that prove the masks work (even the good ones).
There was an epidemiologist that specializes in viral transmission reduction measures who spoke out on this at the beginning. Her blunt statement was that masks don’t do anything and there’s a hundred years of evidence of such.
Wish I could remember her name because they shut her up immediately.
The masks say on the box they come in that they do not stop viral transmission. I suspect there is a legal reason for this…
some sort of substantiation of that charge
Lol. You jest, sir.
Don’t believe their lies, St Fauci says they work! Wearing an old T-shirt over your mouth is more effective than a Hazmat suit!
The same kinds of people who mock religious people* for “believing things without evidence” are also declaring that something MUST be true because the government said it was. When you ask them for actual proof, they just lambast you for “not believing in science”.
* I’m nonreligious myself, and I’m so annoyed by those people that I don’t call myself atheist anymore.
Atheists have become so ridiculously obnoxious that they are making the strongest case I have ever seen for old-timey religion.
The problem is that they have also been so paradoxically successful that there seem to be no more old-timey religions around, all of them having become degenerate or skinsuited.
A new one will bubble out of the woodwork.
Allahu Akhbar!
*chambers round*
Deus Vult!
there seem to be no more old-timey religions around
*waves hands from that little inconspicuous church down the street*
In reality, though, it has been damn hard to find a group of believers that aren’t one or more of:
– median age above 75
– increasingly woke
– woefully superficial about their own beliefs
– obsessed with the Christian top 40 chart
– reacting to the liberalization of the American church by codifying 1950s aesthetic preferences as if they were written in scripture
-completely unwilling to engage in community outside of the handful of sanctioned church events in the church building
reacting to the liberalization of the American church by codifying 1950s aesthetic preferences as if they were written in scripture
I’d be willing to compromise on this one if I get to be a fucking beatnik.
That has been our struggle. I don’t want 70 minutes of a Christian Rock band, 20 minutes of platitudes and superficial spirituality followed by another 70 minutes of the band playing.
I also don’t want what I grew up in. I want somewhere that is going to help guide my growth in spirit.
^^^
We went to the local Baptist church (without very high hopes, it was a last minute change of plans because we missed early service at another church), and it was 10 minutes of back patting about various programs that were going on, 20 minutes of unknown songs blasted at 110dB, 25 minutes of a superficial PowerPoint presentation citing more to sociology studies than scripture, and a 5 minute outtro song.
How anybody can sit through that week after week, I don’t know. It’d be like a board game club spending every week going over the basic rules of Catan from a slightly different angle.
It’s not just the aesthetic preferences of the 1950s; the entire organization of society, culture, government, and the economy was revolutionary. That the mainstream right and left both view the 1950s as a conservative era is somewhat baffling. Nothing about the 1950s represents the carryover of previous traditions. Where you live, what constitutes a family, how you work, the nature of civic responsibility, the method of culture creation and transmission, what gets celebrated and what gets punished, who is considered right and how they obtain their authority; every single thing about the 1950s is at least somewhat alien from the perspective of the 1930s and utterly alien from the perspective of the 1910s and earlier.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with wanting hot rods, hot dogs, and hot babes, but when indulged to excess it’s still hedonic. Just because something happened in the past doesn’t mean it must be conserved.
Not all of us.
The problem with any generalization is there are always exceptions. If you are not he, then take no offense, for it was he I criticized and not you.

Beware the pediatric variant.
Pediatric hospitals are filling with coronavirus patients as schools start opening amid the latest surge in infections, this one driven by the highly contagious delta variant. …
The American Academy of Pediatrics sent a letter to acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock last week, urging the agency to continue working aggressively toward authorizing vaccines for children under 12.
“Simply stated, the delta variant has created a new and pressing risk to children and adolescents across this country, as it has also done for unvaccinated adults,” the letter says.
Simply stated, no it has not created a new and pressing risk to children and adolescents across this country, as it has also done for unvaccinated adults.
It’s RSV.
Dumbasses.
Saw a video of a doc talking about that yesterday. A real doctor that sees patients and actually acknowledges the existing wealth of knowledge about coronaviruses that was mainstream in the medical community until the recent dark times.
Was it this one?
He gives an excellent rebuttal to the fucking government shitheels.
I’d like to get a copy of the flash drive he provided to the board, with the studies that he references…

Yup.
Them kids is vaping, thats what the problem is.
Funny how that panic completely vanished.
Just waiting to be recycled when the current panic is exhausted.
The market for THC cartridges is still trying to recover from that; they were very scarce and very expensive in NYC for quite a spell. They jumped from $30 up to $70 after the big panic and are only this year down to $45-$50.
“Children’s hospitals in Tennessee will be full by the end of this week”
Give me the winning lottery numbers while you have your crystal ball handy.
Hopefully they match the ones on my ticket. I could use the boost to get moving.
Pediatric hospitals are filling with coronavirus patients
For starters, the number of children’s hospital beds is actually quite low. Tucson has two such operations, both embedded in bigger hospitals, and I would expect that the total bed count is around 40 (not including the NICUs).
Not mentioned: how many children have actually been admitted to the hospital because they are sick with COVID.
I’m seriously worried that some unhinged moron is going to shoot up a vaccine drive or something and poison the whole cause of opposing mandatory vaccines.
That’s probably what they are hoping for.
They got their first Reichstag fire, going for another would not be surprising.
I dunno. They didn’t blink an eye killing hundreds of thousands by packing nursing homes with Covid and burying ivermectin as a treatment.
If they thought they needed something like that to happen, I have no doubt it would be arranged. It’s becoming more clear that Jan 6th wasn’t exactly spontaneous.
I got mine from TS, by the way. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’d be worried but my worry doesn’t change a damned thing.
shouldn’t they be obliged to offer up some sort of substantiation of that charge
All of this has me thinking. A future Republican might be in a pretty interesting position. Social media has been pretty fast and loose with the “misinformation” charge. Including a lot of things that later get substantiated as true.
I’m not advocating this. But, if a company is labeling things that are true as “misinformation”, it seems to me that the company itself has become guilty of misinformation. And note, this is strictly the liability of the company. It’s the company’s speech that amounts to misinformation.
Just wait for them to claim to be entertainment companies instead of media companies.
Clown Nose On
I searched on YouTube to find Jon Stewart’s appearance on CrossFire. It’s here if you really care to see it. But the comments, man. You can watch a narrative form, people being trained to accept the narrative, and then reinforcing their training upon each other. A psyop in one act, if you will.
“This is more relevant in 2020 than it was in 2004” says one commenter. Yeah, perhaps, but not for the reasons you think.
I watched it in 2004, despised Jon Stewart since then.
There are few who seem willing to accept that everyone on that screen is a villain.
I always found Tucker Carlson good-looking. He has that going for him.

“We regret to inform you that your account has been locked for violating our policy on misinformation by distributing misinformation about misinformation.”
Monty Python for the digital world.
Interesting question: Would a social media company that said you were spreading misinformation be guilty of defamation?
In a sane, just world, that question would be asked in open court and determined. We do not live in any such world.
In a sane, just world, the circumstance to ask the question would not have arisen.
1) is labeling something as “misinformation” opinion? I’d argue against that, but I could see the court going either way.
2) is the social media company publicly disseminating that information? I think this is where the defamation suit fails. Unless they broadcast that the person has been suspended for spreading misinformation (usually, it just says for “violating TOS”), I don’t think it’s gonna meet the dissemination element.
is labeling something as “misinformation” opinion
I think that’s the key question. Separating statements of “fact” from statements of “opinion” is, well, let’s just say its not obvious which is which.
is the social media company publicly disseminating that information?
I’d have to defer to the people who actually use social media. If they communicate to anyone other than you, its been disseminated for purposes of defamation law.
And demonstrating Fedgov’s competence once again:
NASA has a new challenge to reaching the moon by 2024: Its $1 billion spacesuit program
What new challenges have emerged that need a redesign? What’s preventing incremental improvements on the proven design? Why aren’t you paying me that money to design you a new one?
“NASA has been working on next-generation spacesuits, which act as mini spaceships that protect the astronauts from the vacuum of space…”
*blinks* mini spaceships? Why writes this?
Hasn’t NASA had space suits since the 1960s?
The cleaners lost them.
Those were Nazi space suits.
The frilled cravat and Beatle boots just don’t cut it for the modern space program.
We are getting a constant stream of straight up lies from the CDC. Their Florida numbers that the conflated so that Sunday Talk Shows could wag their fingers at DeSantis. Now, their little fear campaign on how contagious Delta is…turns out to be straight up lie.
https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/08/11/cdc-exposed-for-spreading-wrong-information-about-how-contagious-the-delta-variant-is-n424596
My shocked face: 😐
interestingly, NPR is one of the outlets calling this out
NPR on the drive in had a mini debunking of the delta is as contagious as chicken pox. So that’s something. I listen to NPR on my commute because I fancy myself an amateur kremlinologist.
I can’t do it. I start cursing and ranting at the radio within three minutes tops.
This.
I can’t stand the smug tone of voice of every commentator on our local public radio stations. It’s like when the GF was in grad school and we would go to parties, and I was entirely surrounded by people who would just out of the blue say political and social things that belied great ignorance of the fact that it was possible that people existed that didn’t already agree with them. Nearly all of those gatherings was a painful exercise in tongue biting for me. Why would I listen, voluntarily, to a broadcast of the same bullshit?
I’m single and being able to speak parseltongue can help me get laid.
But would you really wanna get laid by the typical woman listening to NPR? Wouldn’t that be like the feminist Catholic from yesterday?
The DNC has politicized all of the agencies. Why should the CDC be immune to this effect?
I wonder if social media will flag their lies as misinformation.
Actually, no don’t.
RE: the Florida numbers. If a report is only for a single day rather than a 7 day average, it should be completely discounted. The media should know this, but they routinely ignore it and prefer to spread misinformation.
When my older brother and I got Chicken Pox in elementary school, we were the only 2 as far as I know, and my 2 sisters and my little brother didn’t get it either. So I don’t know that it is that contagious.
I never caught the chicken pox, or if I did, it came and went so fast I didn’t notice. So yeah, maybe Covid is like the chicken pox.
“[the information] came from a graphic from The New York Times, which wasn’t completely accurate.”
“Not completely accurate” = wrong. Say it was wrong.
Some Wednesdays at 9AM God’s Time Zone, you wander in and read; Oh, that was entertaining. Good fun!
This continues for a couple of weeks. You begin to relax.
The, one week, Wednesday morning circles back, and you go on a pleasant walk through the glib neighborhood and… a fucking insane clown jumps out from behind the bushes and punches you repeatedly in the gut with his clowny clown gloves while kamal-ing maniacally and spitting into your open mouth.

I award you Comment of the Day, while noting that it was oddly specific.
Well done!
I have considered trigger warnings but I thought that would be infantilizing. And there is Glibs After Dark but people complain they miss out on stuff. (And GAD is really more Heroic Mulatto’s purview.)
But, yeah, 9am would be pretty rough.
The trigger warning for this one was the fact that the Glibertarians twitter account did not tweet about it, despite the fact it seems to tweet links to most articles posted here. I’m guessing they thought this would be too much for the Libertarian Party of Oregon, since it would have been 9am for them.
We all float down here.

Mask mandate begins again on Friday. And the fucking idiots are cheering this on.
Can you just, not mask?
Largely, no. More than enough people will go along with it that businesses won’t feel any loss from it but failing to enforce it will get enforcement action from state agencies (OSHA, liquor board, etc).
Can you just, not mask?
That’s been my policy. When maskurbation was in full swing here I never wore one. At one point I think I was the only person in the entire office building not wearing one.
And I intend to remain defiant when that shit inevitably comes back this fall.
Right there with you.
We have a mask mandate at work right now and no one has even mentioned it to me after successfully ignoring it the first time.
Their team is winning.
That’s really all this is. They’re willing to self-flagellate so they can feel morally superior.
Keep backing people into a corner. Either they comply, find someway to avoid it, off themselves, or go postal. Probably more than a few would not be opposed to #4, for reasons.
Fuck it, life insurance is paid up. Wonder what sort of reaction self-immolation on the steps of the state capitol would get? Probably not like Thích Quảng Đức.
I haven’t gotten ear hair yet, but got nose hair in my mid 20s and that one LONG eyebrow hair in my mid 30s…now I just had a chest hair longer than the hair on my head. What the fuck is wrong with the human body!?
I didn’t even mention the back hair since my mid 20s…
I am so sorry about the chemical burn. I sincerely thought it would grow back by now.
What I’ve always wondered is why human head hair doesn’t have a set length that it grows to – unlike the hair of pretty much every other mammal in the world. The very fact that we need haircuts is an oddity.
It does have a set length. It’s different for each person. When I had long hair, it grew down to about my waist and stayed there without any haircuts.
can confirm. Mine gets about nearly halfway down my back and then starts breaking off/falling out.
That’s still an oddity, as what possible use would such long hair concentrated at the head have?
Protection of the brain housing group.
Gnarled up, matted hair would make a decent helmet/hat.
Because science?
My dad had a performance review where his boss finished up by saying “And shave your ears! You look like a goddamn werewolf” He probably could have won a lawsuit for that these days.
I make the argument that I have just as much hair now as I did 20 years ago, but it just packed-up and migrated to other parts of my body.
And my hairline isnt receding. I like fat women. Its “thigh burns”.

Assholes at work want to mandate the contents of my bloodstream, but they can’t even schedule their propaganda presentation properly. I did find out that noncompliance is about 25 percent in my shop and 50 percent in the whole division.
And that’s in LA.
There are more of us than they want to admit.
I think that is nationwide, across all sectors of the economy. Informal gathering of data – we are probably also hovering between 30-50% haven’t gotten the shot.
We’re around 30% noncompliant. And have been since probably March or April.
Our mandate goes into effect in September.
We have no clue how many people will quit.
Why would hospitals be setting up a situation where they are purposefully losing workers if they are already understaffed?
Virtue signaling
There’s non compliance from even those who have gotten jabbed. Imagine that quaint notion that your medical records are absolutely no one else’s business.
^^^ We discussed this among certain circles in the FAA that whatever outcome we have chosen, it isn’t their business. I mean, I am sure they will find a way for the flight surgeon to be somehow Supreme Commander and if we don’t give that information they will yank our medicals, but heh..all is grand.
Did you get to ask your series of questions?

I want to take a walk, but I’m staring at a forecast that has heat advisories and thunderstorm warnings.
*blinks*
91 thermometer, heat index 100, 55% humidity?
Why do you hate me, August?
If it aint raining, you aint training. Stop being a pussy. Get your ass out there and walk. Heat stroke and thunder hardly kill anyone.
This is why Canada will almost be as good as Mexico someday.
Well if it makes you feel better it’s even hotter here. I’m going to hydrate like crazy and get myself miserably sweaty. And I’m going to like it.
No, it doesn’t. My problems are my own to sort out, and since you did nothing to wrong me, I do not have anything to gain from your suffering.
I had a yoga teacher who said “pain is inevitable, suffering is optional”. She was right but sometimes hearing that was insufferable.
Around 90ºF here, and humidity in the 70% range.
Good thing I have a fresh 30-pack. No plans on going outside till the sun is down.
I made it a half mile out before the raining started. I made it back before the deluge, soaked with more sweat than my four mile walk yesterday.
Ugh.
So, one mile today.
Consistency is more important than the mileage. Good job.
LOL. Only 42% effective against Delta. That’s why vaccine mandates are essential.
So because it is ineffective we need to be vaccinated to decrease our effectiveness of slowing its spread?
That’s for Pfizer. Moderna is showing much higher so if you didn’t get that one, prepare to roll up your sleeve.
And Pfizer was the cool vaccine. Much cooler than Moderna.
The Moderna side effects makes your immune system strong. Science™️!
Weren’t they initially claiming that the vaccines still had like 90% effectiveness, despite the Israel study that initially found something similar to this one?
The effectiveness numbers vary based upon what is being defended against: death, severe illness, transmission to others, any kind of infection.
A wakeup call for what, though? These people even talk like they’re in a cult. They say shit that appears to be English, but has no actual meaning. It’s so fucking Randian (Ayn, not Paul), I can’t stand it.
At this point, I frigging give up. It’s a popular cult that is immune to reason and won’t tolerate questioning. The best I can hope for is that these neurotic sociopaths work themselves into such a lather about the bug that they give up on the “hybrid flex” model and make full-time work-from-home a permanent option. I live far enough in the boondocks that the lunacy isn’t universal around here and I can live something approximating a normal life if I don’t have to deal with the lunatics on a regular basis. At this point, I’m Team Delta.
The best I can hope for is that these neurotic sociopaths work themselves into such a lather about the bug that they give up on the “hybrid flex” model and make full-time work-from-home a permanent option.
That would be nice. I’m talking with a company about an open position, but they want it to be 50% WFH. Wouldn’t mind if it went to 100% telework with regular travel instead.
My company just sent out a notice that we can go to 2 days WFH.
…
I haven’t been to the office in two months. The mothership in Cleveland was filling up slowly the last I heard, but my satellite office? Hardly anyone goes.
And I’m pretty certain that lockdowns are coming so I’m not going to go in for now.
We’re going full-on WFH, if you so desire. Some jobs will require going to the office (security-related stuff, I believe we have a SCIF, etc.), but 90% won’t.

So I went to the local diner for lunch and I what’s the first thing I do when I get home? Read Joemala.
Goodbye, eggs & bacon. It was fun while it lasted.

That just seems so unwise.
What do they care? They have qualified immunity.
There is, of course, approximately zero actual science on the effect of mRNA vaccines on fetuses.
I thought it wasn’t approved for under 12 years old? I guess it really is just a clump of cells.
This post is an affront to Shar Pei’s everywhere.
Well done sir. Well, done.
I’m now sat on my couch watching some true crime show called “Crazy, Sexy, & Deadly”.
Did they get the story right?
I see the crazy part, and apparently a jury found her deadly. As to the other, no idea. Nobody looks good in interrogation room lighting.

I think I found your problem, lady- “Although she was read her Miranda rights, Hubers voluntarily spoke to police”.
She ain’t too bad looking. Crazy, but eh, you only live once.
All the more reason to make it last.
That theory could soon be proven by dating her. But I concur. Likely wood.
Ugh, know what irks me, besides what Tres pointed out, was how the cops say stuff like “That isn’t what a [insert person] here would do”. The fact that they are allowed to say that and probably did in court is just bullshit.
And in local news.
There’s been no action by my local government w/r/t private businesses yet, but local gov’t buildings require masks at all times again, and some stores have already changed their signage to either “recommended” or “required” “regardless of vaccination status”.
The best part is nobody can articulate a very good reason why. I’ve seen “delta variant”, “for the children”, and “breakthrough infection” as the given justifications but they’re entirely speculative and entirely devoid of context.
The goal is to see who will comply and who won’t.
One local news site is helpfully providing a list of businesses I’ll be avoiding.
So all the businesses ‘comply’ with Nevada fake law dictate. However, they comply with signs outside on the doors. I have seen more ‘wear if you want, don’t wear if you don’t” going on now.
JFC.
But you have to get the jab so we can go back to normal so we can’t go back to normal.
IDGAF what they say or do, I’m not wearing a fucking mask.
TMITE own goal

The attempts to discredit those who point out the open border nonsense during a pandemic are so pathetic. I don’t see anyone trying to attack Canada’s current border policies, to start with. Second, no one is saying that the border is the reason for covid outbreaks. They are saying it is a contributing factor that makes no sense if you are so worried about covid. People traveling here legally are subjected to all sorts of bullshit, but you are a racist fear monger if you point out that an open border with Mexico is a bad idea during all of this. They hold up a strawman, as is typical of “fact checkers,” and then do a half-assed job knocking it down.
Philly reintroducing Lil Rona Panic Measures
Philadelphia is now requiring masks in all public areas of buildings in the city, at unseated outdoor gatherings of more than 1,000 people, and in indoor businesses and institutions, unless staff and patrons can confirm they’re vaccinated. In restaurants and bars, staff must all be masked and diners must wear masks to their tables to eat or drink, when they can remove them.
“must wear masks to their tables to eat or drink, when they can remove them.”
Still gets me every time that people buy into that bullshit.
Not surprised. Fuck Philadelphia.
Let’s see how much people follow the rules…I’m thinking maybe 50%.
I found out about the changes from a post to Derpbook by a brewery with a taproom in Philly.
“Due to new Philly regulations, we will require proof of vaccination in order to enter our Philly locations”.
Response was mixed but more on the side of “I won’t patronize your business again.”
Good.
unless staff and patrons can confirm they’re vaccinated
I identify as quadruple vaxed so it’s all good.
Hmm..I am going to tattoo my vax status on my nut sack then. Verify away boys and girls
I got the Wuhan Vax. It’s still got the best immunity protection of any option on the market.
Even so, they always shift the goalposts slightly, don’t they. Covid-positive people being bussed around the country at the taxpayers’ expense really is fantastically hypocritical, but in their minds, the deplorables are blaming immigrants for the “covid surge” rather than just calling out the feds and TMITE for being hypocritical tyrants.
Don’t forget about this lawsuit; Laredo v DHS.
Dang it – supposed to be a reply to GL.
Did I miss this on this site?? How is this not headline news everywhere?

Oorah!
And Lloyd Austin flat out said that military members are property.
“No informed consent for you.”
Holy fuck.

“Nearly 40% of Marines have turned down the vaccine…”
*Cries* YOU WERE LISTENING!!!
Holy fuck indeed. This isn’t a satire or joke piece?
He actually said this?
““They’re incapable of making informed decisions. So we, their leaders, make the big decisions they cannot,” Austin said. “Biden and Harris are in charge, not individual soldiers.””
And…uh, checks Constitutional duties for Vice President….uh sir, Harris is in charge of no one.
“Under no circumstances will Marines be compelled to take a potentially hazardous vaccination that the FDA won’t even fully endorse,” Gen. Berger told Austin. “You are a coward and a traitor, manipulated by people pushing bad policy on the men and women who provide security to our nation. Neither you nor your puppet president has authority to enforce such a policy.”
Wow…I am assuming he will be removed for insubordination but hell ya! Ooorah!
Fake news.
So sad…so so sad I fell for it.

Looks like you’re right.
What in the fuck?
The whole point is probably to see which Marines share this on social media approvingly, and then refer them for discipline.
^^^ Yep

Unreal.
Hot damn, no mincing of words here.

Fuck off dude.
“If you try to forcibly vaccinate even one of my Marines, you better come armed,” Gen. Berger said, and hung up the phone.
BASED
If only it were true.
This is poetic brilliance of the disgusting yet remaining most likely true. Love it!
