Joemala: Episode 59

by | Feb 23, 2022 | Joemala | 218 comments

“You n-n-need to tell me how to deal with Putin,” Joe said. He was close enough to Donald to feel his Florida aura radiating Big Alligator Energy.

“You’ve got to be tremendous,” Donald said, planting a lingering kiss on Joe’s stroke-stiffened face. “Yuge!” he mumbled as his tongue slithered across Joe’s dry fake teeth.

“Do I really have to be here for this?” Kamala asked from Munich, her grotesque face too close to the webcam, filling the Oval Office monitor.

“You’ll-ll-ll has to do this someday, so pay attention!” Joe snapped at the screen. “This is how all ex-presidents interact!”

“And I thought my vice-president was a whiny little bitch,” Donald muttered as he rubbed Joe’s chest and then paused. “Hey, where are your nipples?”

“Facelifts,” Joe explained. He opened his shirt and showed Donald the nipples on his collarbone.

“I can just about suck one if I try real hard,” Joe said brightly.

“You, you don’t have to show me,” Donald said, licking the exposed nipple himself.

“You shoulda seen Barry and Billy going at it,” Biden said, lost in the memory. “It wasn’t just White House protocol, if you know what I mean.” He tried to waggle his Botoxed eyebrows.

Donald kissed him long and hard, running his hand over the bulge in Joe’s diaper.

“You have to be forceful,” Donald said after breaking off the kiss. “He has to know you won’t take his nonsense!”

“But I need a war so badly,” Joe said. “Midterms are coming.”

“I know,” Donald said, nibbling the tab of skin behind Joe’s ears.

“Sanctions,” Joe moaned.

“Fuck sanctions,” Donald said, shuffling in close to attempt frottage. “You can’t get off on sanctions. Sanctions are pussy bullshit.”

“I don’t know how you did this for four years,” Joe said quietly.

“It’s a thankless job,” Donald said, unconsciously patting his hair. “Only a former President really understands.”

“I tried talking to Carter, but his wife always tried to get in on it,” Joe said. “I’d say, ‘Rosie, put your underwear back on,’ but she never listened.”

The two elderly men began to passionately kiss and didn’t hear the door to the Oval Office quietly open.

Finnegan gasped as she skidded to a halt on the filthy carpet. Joe and Donald, holding hands, turned to look at her.

“I don’t know why, but this is it, I’ve reached my limit,” she said quietly and left. Kamala’s cackle chased her from the room.

“She’ll be back!” Joe ejaculated forcefully.

“Ejaculated forcefully?” Donald asked. “Is that a real saying? Am I supposed to know it?”

“Donald, Donald,” Joe said, “Focus on me, on me.” Joe looked Donald in the eyes. “One minute of uninterrupted eye contact. You ready?”

They touched foreheads and stared into each other’s eyes.

“Gay!” Kamala brayed.

    “Facelifts,” Joe explained. He opened his shirt and showed Donald the nipples on his collarbone.

    BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

  2. pistoffnick the refusnik

    frottage

    the practice of touching or rubbing against the clothed body of another person in a crowd as a means of obtaining sexual gratification.

    I’m here to learn…

  3. DEG

    This wrecked my suspension of disbelief.

    Trump has better taste than this.

    • Heroic Mulatto

      That’s what his beards want you to think.

      • EvilSheldon

        I dunno, I can mabye see The Donald getting caught in a three-way with a couple of cute latin rentbois. Septuagenarian diaper-play might just be a bridge too far…

      • R C Dean

        I just knew this one would bring an appearance from HM.

  4. juris imprudent

    “It’s a thankless job,”

    Now there’s the truth.

      How did Donald comment on the text?
      That’s some fourth wall shit right there

      • Not Adahn

        The Donald is Deadpool.

      • rhywun

        Maybe Donald is in Joe’s head? Maybe all of them are.

      • Bobarian LMD

        The Donald is Joe’s Hat? Finnegan must be The Hair.

      • db

        Joe needs a Teleprompter for everything.

  6. Sean

    I…uh…ummm…

    Maybe I’ll head back to Twitter.

  7. Count Potato

    GAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

    • juris imprudent

      Been lulled into complacency for a while, haven’t we?

  8. Not Adahn

    I didn’t realize until now that Jomala was set in a different universe than H&H.

  9. Tundra

    Wow.

    I thought that after all these years I had developed an immunity to SF-induced nausea.

    Wrong.

    “Facelifts,” Joe explained. He opened his shirt and showed Donald the nipples on his collarbone.

    This line had me braying like Kamala, however.

    #metoo. I am now ready to go back to work to a rubber room.

    running his hand over the bulge in Joe’s diaper.

    The bulge is NOT on the front.

    • slumbrew

      Do you want my lunch? I’m no longer hungry.

    • Compelled Speechless

      I’ve got a one year old, so I change diapers a lot. That was my first thought.

  12. Animal

    Well, SF, you… outdid yourself. Glad I hadn’t eaten yet.

  13. slumbrew

    Question for wherever feds are monitoring this site – does it feel like punishment? Do you secretly enjoy this? Dare you share it with your coworkers?

    • slumbrew

      *whichever

    • juris imprudent

      These episodes aside, they probably wonder how SF has such surveillance of the West Wing.

      • Compelled Speechless

        This series is really a covert way for a secret serviceman to publish his memoirs?

    • Brochettaward

      No Fed could tolerate the image of Biden engaging in foreplay with the dastardly Trump.

        That’s what the Donald said.

        As he slathered it in ketchup.

      • Sean

        🙁

      • Compelled Speechless

        Jesus, don’t get me going again! If I still have anything left it’s just going to come out as dust just like Biden.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Forcefully ejaculated?

    • juris imprudent

      [Hannibal Lector voice] Was it mushy? Or did it have nice texture? [/HLv]

      • Compelled Speechless

        Are we back to talking about the diaper bulge?

    • R C Dean

      What a bunch of nancies. Try going to a pathology lab at lunch, and we can talk about “I’ve lost my appetite”.

      • Swiss Servator

        My Dad was a pathologist – I visited him at work…

    • Ted S.

      My lunch hour is before the midday posts, which I normally don’t get to see until after I finish work at 2:30.

    Oh dear God….

  16. JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

    This episode was an unexpected plot twist.

    • Compelled Speechless

      I’m really glad Finnegan is getting a character arc. She’s finally learning to stand up for herself. I teared up for a minute, and then realized I JUST ran out of tissues.

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        Because of the forceful ejaculation?

      • Compelled Speechless

        Yeah. My coworkers look sooooo uncomfortable right now. I guess I’m going to be the office Toobin from now on.

      • R C Dean

        Uncomfortable? Or intrigued?

      • Compelled Speechless

        They’ll never admit their true feelings. Buncha prudes.

      That wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, though I’m happy I used Tor with a private window.

  18. Compelled Speechless

    Best one yet SF! I give it 3 1/2 out of 4 shameful involuntary and shameful erections.

    • Brochettaward

      Admit it – you’ve rubbed one out to Sugarfree.

      • Compelled Speechless

        No shame here. This is some red hot smut.

      • Brochettaward

        In one dark moment when I thought I was a seconder, I masturbated to Kathy Griffin.

        I’m still judging you.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Mmmm Kathy Griffin….. Strawberry Prime as I like to call her. One day she’s going to agree to my requests to have a three-way with Psaki while the Donald severed head watches. Judge all you want, but you know you’ll click the video when it’s released.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Who wants to volunteer to hold the camera?

      • Swiss Servator

        It’s going to be a GoPro mounted on the Drumpf head.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Oh, there will be a GoPro mounted on a head….but it won’t be the mannequin’s.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Your move SugarFree.

  19. Bones

    Is the ending going to be like St. Elsewhere? Where the autistic kid (in this case dementia Joe) made all of it up in his mind?

    “She’ll be back!” Joe ejaculated forcefully.

    “Ejaculated forcefully?” Donald asked. “Is that a real saying? Am I supposed to know it?”

    This is awesome. Proof that Joe needs a Teleprompter even for the most basic interactions.

  25. juris imprudent

    From the dead-thread, LC1789 sez Once again, America is not going into these nations to take them over for control. America always gets dragged into non-clearly defined situations.

    Looking for hornets nests to stick your dick into is not getting dragged into things. This is what our elite love and have loved since fucking TR.

    At least when we invaded Mexico – without legitimate cause – we got something out of it.

    • Not Adahn

      Keep the fights in the post where they started please.

    • R C Dean

      At least when we invaded Mexico – without legitimate cause – we got something out of it.

      I was surprised to read the other day that the new boundary was supposed to run straight across from Arizona through California (which would have given us the northern tip of the Sea of Cortez and Tijuana). But we cheaped out because we didn’t want to pay for the fence.

      • The Bearded Hobbit

        I did not know that, RC. The things we learn on this site. Any pointers to that info?

        Does this mean we need to start a campaign of, “31-20 or Fight?”

      • R C Dean

        I did a little digging, and would have to do more, but it looks like the original treaty that resulted in the Gadsden Purchase called for 45,000 square miles, for the price of $15mm, but the Senate only ratified $10mm for 29,670 square miles. So, probably not the price of the fence after all, but we still cheaped out. A map of the original 45,000 square miles isn’t jumping out of the internet at me.

    • Loveconstitution1789

      Poor ji. He no like citations.

    • Compelled Speechless

      They’ll remind everyone that they’re supposed to have a monopoly on foreign conflict resolution theater!

    • Plisade

      Wow. Not The Bee.

  26. Lackadaisical

    Picking up the derp that count potato shared last post:

    “Parents don’t lack rights in the U.S. They already enjoy the wide freedom to educate their children as they wish, including at home or in private schools. They can raise their children to be Christians or witches or both; the state does not interfere. Liberals are generally satisfied with this state of affairs: There is no appetite to prohibit parents from raising their children in even the most hate-filled churches. Yet the right behaves as if parental rights were under sustained and serious attack, as if the parent has been dislodged from a high place and, as Abbott said, should be restored.”

    Clearly the writer doesn’t live in a shitty blue state. They make it near impossible to home school, and constrain every school to require medical procedures and muzzles on your child. You are literally for forced medical procedures and kung flu tyranny if you support Democrats. The parent has no place in their great society.

    And really sly to put the ‘hateful church’ lie in there, as though parents who want the best for their children are really just hateful bigots. Go die in a ditch.

    • Nephilium

      Look, who knows better what your children need? You, or the wise masters in DC?

      • Brochettaward

        I think most people’s children would be well served if they were taken out behind the tool shed and beaten with a switch a couple times a week. I want my Beat Your Children Act passed ASAP. The world would be a better place.

      • Not Adahn

        Can you believe most parents don’t even have degrees in education?

    • Drake

      You can send them to private school, but you aren’t getting your $1K + in monthly property taxes back.

      • robc

        The advantage of charter schools, but there are limitations.

        Charter is a step in the right direction, but isn’t libertarian perfection.

      • robc

        Spectrum:

        Public schools
        Charter schools
        Backpack vouchers
        Separation of school and state

      • Lackadaisical

        In the realm of possibility, I’d love to see backpack vouchers. Most parents would home school because they’d be making 50k a year.

      • Lackadaisical

        (assuming they had 2 kids)

    • trshmnstr the terrible

      This is “we’re not coming for your guns” but for kids. Within 5 years, there will be some young upstart leftist willing to pull off the mask and say “Hell yeah, we’re coming for your kids!”

        And what a brave new world that will be.

  27. juris imprudent

    KDW gets his dick whacked.

    Countries have interests about what military alliances their neighbors make. Does anyone think we would let Canada join a Chinese-led security pact, and do nothing as China put Canada on the fastest military buildups in post-war history?

    • Compelled Speechless

      That’s not cool man. Based on your title I was expecting a hilarious genital obituary or a bonus disgustingly titillating SF article. I got neither. Lame.

  28. juris imprudent

    Classic GOP.

    Republicans, while hammering Putin’s march toward war, also wasted no time placing the blame for the escalating hostilities squarely on the shoulders of President Biden, saying his administration cleared the way for Russia’s aggression with a series of foreign policy blunders, including the disastrous withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan last August.

    See what I mean about the total governmental investment in the central lie about Afghanistan. I doubt any of them actually believe that Afghanistan was going to end any other way, but that doesn’t stop them from pretending otherwise for a particular purpose.

    …even when it comes to foreign policy matters like Russian aggression, which stood through decades of the Cold War as a unifying force across a broad spectrum of political views.

    Never mind that the problem of the perpetuation of the Cold War mindset, 30-odd years after it ended.

    • Compelled Speechless

      It’s another cold hard reminder that the Neo-Cons that have been behind every major foreign policy disaster so far this century remain in charge, unpunished and unphased.

      • R C Dean

        unpunished and unphased unfazed

        You’re welcome.

        “Do we set these to ‘zorch’ or ‘deep fry’?”

      • robc

        This century? Last century too, only then they called themselves “Democrats”.

      • Compelled Speechless

        What a coincidence. They’re basically back to calling themselves Democrats again! See: Kristol, Frum, Rubin, Beelzebub….

      • Drake

        Really nothing con about them. They haven’t conserved a thing

      • robc

        They have conserved their Trotskyism.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Nonsense. The trust funds of Lockheed executive’s children will be preserved for generations to come.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      They’re going into full war drum mode. Yet again.

    “I don’t know why, but this is it, I’ve reached my limit,” she said quietly and left.

    You and me both, sister.

    • Urthona

      That’s a new one.

  30. LCDR_Fish

    robc and rhywun.

    The third book by Vinge for the “Deepness” books was a direct sequel to “Fire Upon the Deep”. Not nearly as good as the first, but not bad. However I believe there was a follow-on book to that one which I haven’t yet read.

    He has some other great material too – short stories, essays, “Marooned in Realtime”, etc. Like Pournelle, etc it’s interesting to see hardcore STEM guys write SF – even when they go into the really theoretical/fantastical stuff.

    • LCDR_Fish

      That sequel book was nice because it gave a bit more closure for the kids from the first book and getting the tines into space, etc. (some of the same threats based on the waves though).

    • robc

      I read his Rainbows End, it was the least impressive Vinge I have read, and it was still okay.

      • LCDR_Fish

        Yeah…That’s the one after “Children of the Sky” I think. Another good standalone is “The Peace War”. (should probably re-read at work after I finish my current stack)

      • rhywun

        I remember liking it, and the 3rd “Zones” book.

        It’s weird that I have almost no memory of the 2nd book (prequel).

    • db

      “Marooned in Realtime” is an excellent story.

    • rhywun

      it’s interesting to see hardcore STEM guys write SF – even when they go into the really theoretical/fantastical stuff

      Stephen Baxter is another good one in that mold.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      OFFS, what a dolt.

      • juris imprudent

        Big bad Joe gonna put him in his place!

      • Compelled Speechless

        Of course Biden won’t put up with it. He’s laundering all his retirement money through Ukraine. Hopefully Hunter still has those Taiwan deals in place in case things go south…..

      • Brochettaward

        It’s been mentioned already, but the number one thing allowing Russian adventurism is high energy prices. Which are fueled by the policies of leftwing politicians from DC to Berlin, but particularly DC. It’s the surest sign of just how incompetent our top men are that they think they can bluster and intimidate Putin in his own backyard while simultaneously being completely dependent on him. What the fuck is Western Europe going to do if a war with Russia actually breaks out? Tell me that citizens of Germany are ready and willing to sacrifice affordable heat int he winter for the Ukraine.

        Our political class is just fucking terrible and Putin runs circles around them. Someone on here yesterday mentioned that they have been basically free of consequences for their decisions for the last 30 or so years. Well, yea, that coincides with the loss of the only actual existential threat the West faced. Now they are forced to invent them to drum up support and their sense of self-importance (see Climate Change), yet might also bungle us into a war with a nuclear power…

      • Brochettaward

        …in large part because of their climate policies. It’s something to behold, the sheer incompetence of the Mandarins.

      • R C Dean

        I honestly don’t know if they are so stupid they actually believe all that catastrophic climate chaos/net zero horseshit, or if they are so dishonest they are happy to grift on it in spite of the obvious disastrous consequences.

      • Plisade

        The bureaucrats on high are dishonest. Their Useful Idiots are, well, idiots.

      • Compelled Speechless

        You get it. People are always saying that “conspiracy theories” can’t be real because they would need to involve too many people in the know. They actually don’t, they just need a few good liars at the top and a shit ton of idiots that gobble up anything their overlords tell them for a pat on the head. The idiots are legion.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Incompetence or malice? I’m drifting away from the disinterested idiot model of politicians.

      • Compelled Speechless

        They’re incompetent at what they say they’re doing. They’re remarkably good at what they’re really doing.

      • Ted S.

        Embrace the power of “and”.

      • rhywun

        I’ve been saying it for years. They are first and foremost evil.

        Many of them are of course also dumb, but the evil is a necessary requirement.

    • The Other Kevin

      That’s by far the shortest piece of fiction that man’s ever written.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Incorrect. He tweeted quite a bit about Russiagate a few years back.

  31. Brochettaward

    Sugarfree just got all of us to read gay erotica involving two geriatric men.

    • slumbrew

      Dammit. When you’re right, you’re right.

    • grrizzly

      Right. Next time write about somebody who can still get it up, maybe Trudeau and Macron.

      • juris imprudent

        Um, are you sure either one of them actually gets it up?

      • Compelled Speechless

        Popsicle sticks and tape will solve that problem. I mean, that’s what I heard.

      • slumbrew

        Somebody’s been reading Irvine Welsh

      • Compelled Speechless

        Nope, just a lot of Good Humor sticks.

    • EvilSheldon

      You imply that I needed SugarFree’s help…

  32. Urthona

    Elden Ring is getting amazing reviews.

    • Compelled Speechless

      I’ll get it if it’s easier than Bloodborne. I genuinely tried to get into that, but I just don’t see how people can get into games that want you to fail so badly and so consistently. There’s a challenge and then there’s masochism.

      • Urthona

        Souls games are hard. I know people who play them on “easy” mode and still feel satisfied. This one is apparently no different.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Maybe I’ll come back to it in a while when it’s on sale. I have a back catalog of games I’ve already bought and no time to play them all with little kids at home. When I do get the time, I don’t want to spend it repeating every boss fight 10x. I just don’t derive a sense of accomplishment from games like some people do now apparently.

      • Urthona

        Yeah I usually wait for the first expansion pack on RPGs anyway. Like to only play through them once. Don’t know if this one is getting one, but…

      • Compelled Speechless

        Modern RPG’s are so long that I don’t even need expansions. I loved Witcher 3, but by the time I finished it and started the first expansion I needed a long break from it and never went back.

      • rhywun

        When I do get the time, I don’t want to spend it repeating every boss fight 10x. I just don’t derive a sense of accomplishment from games like some people do now apparently.

        That’s because you’re not 14 years old any more.

        I have the same problem. I love exploring, solving puzzles, and even some regular combat.

        I cannot stand boss battles.

    • R C Dean

      made in collaboration with fantasy novelist George R. R. Martin

      So the release date will postponed indefinitely?

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        You’ll never be able to finish the game. At some point it will just stop loading.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Close It will be made into a similar game by people with less talent but an ability to follow a roadmap by someone who is really good. It will be incredible for the first 3/4 at which point the developers become tired and disinterested and start making a bunch of deals to take over other properties, so they hastily put together an ending that sacrifices everything that made everything that came before it so good after their roadmap runs out. Then everyone else will realize that they actually aren’t all that talented and take away all the deals they made that made them abandon the thing everyone loved making the whole thing meaningless and cause their fandom to spiral in to helpless nihilism.

        But that first 3/4 is really good.

    • Nephilium

      My backlog is big enough that I don’t want need to buy games at release prices anymore.

  33. hayeksplosives

    Eewww.

    Good thing I was already violently ill after breakfast.

  34. mikey

    Another great SF set up.
    A couple weeks of excellent, but relatively tame, stuff….and then “ Donald kissed him long and hard, running his hand over the bulge in Joe’s diaper.”

    Is there word for a feeling of combined amusement and revulsion?

    • Animal

      Revulment?

    • Swiss Servator

      Ekelsunterhaltung is as close as I can think of one.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      This pairs up nicely with the claim that the vaccine and virus were being developed as a matched pair. Which also explains why they were able to move so quickly into trials and production.

      • grrizzly

        Apparently there’s a “loophole” in the treaty that bans developing bioweapons: if it’s used to develop vaccines. Dual research and development is okay.

    • R C Dean

      one in 3 trillion chance

      So you’re saying there’s a chance?

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        About as much of one as me getting a fourway with Liz Hurley, Salma Hayek, and Halle Berry,

      • Aloysious

        Wow.

        Now that’s a situation.

    • R C Dean

      ‘So it’s an interesting coincidence but this is surely entirely coincidental.’

      SCIENCE!

      Explains the big dip in their stock on Feb 14. People in the know getting out.

    • Brochettaward

      At this point, does it even matter? They’ll never prove it definitively. Evidence will continue to mount it was a leak, and no one will ever be punished or held accountable in anyway for it.

      You know why? Because just about half the population is committed to the lie and the other half that at least has skepticism is too spineless to do anything about it.

      I had no idea Pfizer doesn’t do much in-house research, they just buy up other companies. No wonder Bill Gates likes them.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        *thinks back to the 90s*

        Your logic checks out.

      • Compelled Speechless

        Maybe Bill Gates likes them because they have a private jet that can take them to an island full of underage hostages for him to have his way with. I heard something happened to his old supplier.

        There are a lot of start up pharma companies. They are able to fund benchtop research and maybe early stage clinical. If the product is promising, you’re looking at another 10 years of clinical trials plus all of the regulatory headaches that go with it. And there’s still a sizeable probability that the product will fail to gain approval and all the money and time are flushed down the drain. That’s beyond the capability of most of these companies, but they can cash out by selling to large pharma company.

        Almost without exception, that is their exit strategy from day one.

        Nice, quite the flashback with that one! Thanks.

      Just imagine the “consultations” between LBJ and Richard Nixon.

      • Compelled Speechless

        I’m imagining a dungeon and a lot of leather.

    Victimizing the poor

    The chairman of Senate Republicans’ campaign operation on Tuesday unveiled his vision for the future of the GOP, which was quickly met with a retort from the White House.

    “I’ll warn you; this plan is not for the faint of heart,” Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, writes in the introduction to his 11-point plan, which he said he hoped would “strike fear in the heart of some Republicans.”

    Among the most attention-grabbing of his proposals in the memo, which says it was paid for by his campaign and not the NRSC, is completing Donald Trump’s border wall and naming it after the former President, as well as calling for all Americans to pay an income tax “even if a small amount.”

    White House press secretary Jen Psaki seized on the latter proposal, tweeting Tuesday that Scott and “Senate Republicans just released an economic plan that doesn’t include a single proposal to lower prices for the middle class,” and claiming “he wants to raise taxes” on Americans, “including on seniors and working families.”

    Pretending government programs are all free is a much better plan.

    • rhywun

      doesn’t include a single proposal to lower prices for the middle class

      LOL like (a) the left gives a shit about the middle-class and (b) the president has the ability to “lower prices”

    • R C Dean

      Did I miss the Dem proposal to lower taxes on the middle class?

      • R C Dean

        Sorry, misread as “lower taxes”, not “lower prices”.

    • Plisade

      Are prices different for the middle class? Why wouldn’t she be most concerned about prices for the poor?

      • hayeksplosives

        But the poor don’t have access to a new Camaro!!

        It’s all about access now. They aren’t barred from purchasing a new car, but if they can’t afford it, they don’t have access.

        It’s equally legal for both the poor and the rich to sleep under a bridge.

      • Plisade

        Why do I hear that in Hilary’s voice?

      • kinnath

        Equity. It’s all about fucking equity now.

  37. juris imprudent

    The mental gymnastics are truly Olympian to compare the anguish visited upon the poor innocents of Ottawa in contrast to the righteous indignation expressed in the summer of BLM. Not that she talked about those protests. Nope, the only point of comparison was Unite the Right in Charlottesville. It’s like nothing else ever happened in between, not even Jan. 6 which must have simply been too terrible to talk about.

      Cool lynx.

    A lot of people think the key to Firsting is in the wrists and fingers. But I’ll tell you what, the pelvic thrust is a greatly underappreciated component of the technique.

    • Plisade

      Well, you must not be exercising your pelvis properly, cuz it hasn’t helped with your blather control 😉

    • Rebel Scum

      I thought the key to fisting was – uh – never mind.

    Oops….

    Large German health insurance company analyzed data from 10.9 million insured individuals regarding vaccination complications.

    The new data is “alarming,” says BKK board member Schöfbeck in a report by WELT.

    Seems the health insurance company is getting tired of being fucked in the ass.

    • robc

      Health insurance actuaries are going to have some real interesting numbers over the next few years.

      It’s been several decades since I was expected to be able to read German. I hope there’s an English version out there somewhere.

        It’s too bad the article is behind a paywall.

      • db

        I didn’t get to the paywall because I needed to translate the cookie policy popup page and gave up.

      • Ted S.

        The fact that the picture in the tweet shows “Welt+” should be a hint, too.

      • Ted S.

        The Paul Ehrlich Institute calculated 245K side effects; the insurance company claims this is low by a factor of 10.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        You’re right. By a factor of 10.

    • The Other Kevin

      As I posted above, Pfizer made $40B on vaccines, and insurance companies have to pay for those, right? Maybe they’ll fight it out and we’ll accidentally benefit from that.

    CNN is pro-gun now?

    JUST NOW: “The Ukrainians will fight like hell…if every Ukrainian takes a gun, Russians don’t have a prayer. I mean the military can fight, but… Ukrainians are really ready today.”

    @ninakhrushcheva on the Ukrainian resolve.

    First the fearing for Ukrainian sovereignty and now this.

      Nina has a very interesting ear. Is that an extension holding the earring?

      • Compelled Speechless

        Ha! That dude’s name is Nina.

      • kinnath

        Nine Khrushcheva would be a feminine name.

    • Compelled Speechless

      You only need guns to stand up to mean ol’ Russian governments who don’t sincerely have your best interests at heart. You don’t need to fight our overlords, they’re altruist and would never do a single thing that wasn’t following The Science, completely necessary and in the interest of every man woman and child. We have a “Democracy!”

    Someone likely linked to this already, but so what. Here is an interesting flowchart created by IJ detailing the civil asset forfeiture process.

    Any politician that defends this process should be introduced to a lamp post and/or woodchipper.

    • mikey

      A lot of what I read around these parts pisses me off. I can’t even read this shit.
