Come on, you Reds. Finish them off.
ManUre won their home finale. But they were still ass this season. Liverpool-Villareal finish up the first UCL semifinal today. Liverpool lead the tie 2-0. On this side of the pond, the hockey playoffs finally got going. Toronto thumped Tampa, LA beat Edmonton, Carolina drilled Boston, and St Louis blanked the Minnesooooooooooda Wiiiiiiild. And in football, D-Hop was on the juice during rehab. So now he’s suspended for six games instead of applauded for doing what’s best for himself so he could heal faster. Stupid steroid rules are killing the NFL. Oh well, that’s it for sports.
This is some crazy ass shit. Too bad it didn’t happen in the 90’s so Tommy Lee Jones could be the star of the movie detailing the hunt for them. Alas, we will probably never be entertained any the freak show.
This will upset some people. I am not one of the people who will be upset. Also, I hope this means Covid and The Ukraine are no longer important. Maybe the tranny stuff too. Only one The Current Thing at a time, right?
Seems legit.
There’s a word for this kind of thing. Oh yeah, I remember now: propaganda. I remember when it was considered a bad thing. You know, like less than a week ago. Now its just waved off as no big deal or even necessary.
If you can’t beat em, draw em out of existence. At some point, the court will have to simply take the responsibility away from the legislature if they keep this up. And start holding legislators in contempt.
NBC News goes off the deep end. I guess they’re trying to fill the void being left by the shuttering of CNN+ that will leave literally hundreds of retards without a TV home.
Go. The. Fuck. Away!
I don’t want to be insensitive, but dude…shut the fuck up. It’s been 26 years. You need to move on rather than float stupid ass ideas that will do nothing but create an even larger national police force. I’m sorry for your loss. Shut the fuck up. Thank you.
She should have died in prison. Because terrorists deserve to die in prison.
Oh good lord……..Why? Why are you doing this?!?! Just, you know, do something original instead, you lazy fucks.
This seems timely. Right? And here’s another one. I know that band is polarizing. I’ll just say this: they have their place on a playlist occasionally. There was more hope than substance, but that’s because the least talented of the group became their face. But that happens sometimes.
Anyway, get out there and have a great day, friends.
“This will upset some people. I am not one of the people who will be upset. Also, I hope this means Covid and The Ukraine are no longer important. Maybe the tranny stuff too. Only one The Current Thing at a time, right?”
So they might stop using my tax money to kill babies by federal decree? I am all cool with states wanting to pay for their own shit. Just don’t make me.
Tax money shouldn’t be going to any outside organizations, period. Ever.
You really want to put a serious dent in the pocket of the grifters, don’t ya?
I’m not upset if that’s the decision (though in my heart of hearts I’m not really cool with it devolving to the states to decide on when infanticide is acceptable and all, but at least it is an improvement – and while I haven’t read the decision, it sounds like it demolishes some of the “penumbra” logic that helps the “living constitution” crowd, so that’s nice.)
What I am more worried about is the impact on the court (especially with Chief Justice Don’t-Rock-The-Boat-I’m-Scared-Of-Causing-Controversy) in the near term if they now feel pressured to back away from a decision and in the longer term since this has to disrupt their ability to deliberate and trust each other to not run to the press when they’re not getting their way.
Also worried that it will be used as an excuse for another Summer O Riots and flog the Dem side (especially the youth vote) into keeping the evil party in the midterms. Ah well, we’ll see… if PPP’s idiots don’t cause Russia to nuke us first, what will be will be.
It didn’t occur to me, but a desperate DNC unleashing their brownshirt army is a distinct possibility.
I wonder though if there’s a lack of furor among the useful idiot Democrat voter class now that Trump is gone. I can see them getting worked up in 2024 if he is a credible threat. I’ve noticed my lefty friends have quit posting about politics at all, presumably because everything coming down has been an L.
“It didn’t occur to me, but a desperate DNC unleashing their brownshirt army is a distinct possibility.”
When they lose, this is a given.
They’re as likely to riot over inflation as they are abortion. It’s gonna be a crazy few months.
I don’t think abortion alone is enough to spark riots but it does add to the general threshold of “I’m mad as hell” that is necessary to get there.
Those riots are not spontaneous, they are planned. The whole point is to intimidate people who aren’t in lock-step with them.
^^^THIS^^^
We have a power center that has made it a point to remind people that if they are not the ones in charge they will make sure whomever else it is can’t keep law & order without bending the knee to them. You saw that in the mostly peaceful protests before they “fortified” the 2020 election…
Right. This is an excuse for riots, not expected to be the real initiator, but a plausible cover.
Trump may be out of office, but he’s not gone. They fear his return more than anything.
Trump did incalculable damage to machine’s plans because he ripped the blindfold off for too many people. The guy is an asshole, but he was one they couldn’t control, be it through coercion or blackmail, and the globalist establishment fears he would expose the criminal shit they have done to the country and the people in order to make sure they remain the top men when they force us to globalize. He is truly an existential threat to them and their plans. Too many of those crazy ass things that was once simply waved off as conspiracy theories by nutjobs have been shown to actually really be the way things were by the existence of Trump. If he gets to keep talking, or worse, he gets back in power, he will really fuck them over. And they are really worried about the peasants knowing how bad the moronic leadership class has fucked the country and the people up.
Yeah, I saw an article about how DeSantis and Scott were the only ways to stop Trump now. And I thought, we aren’t even to that stage yet. No one is declared to be running, as it isn’t time yet. We aren’t even at the midterms! The fear is real.
I keep hearing that Biden support among black’s is falling dramatically, and I don’t think that the community is a huge supporter of abortion. I could be wrong about that, so I would be curious to see how it plays out. Also, I think the brown-shirt army did most of it’s damage in black sections of towns, and a year or two later they are seeing just how little the D’s really care to get shit working again. I don’t think having a bunch of rando Libkids running around setting shit on fire will add to the D’s numbers.
“She should have died in prison. Because terrorists deserve to die in prison.”
May the devil welcome her to her new home.
“If you can’t beat em, draw em out of existence. At some point, the court will have to simply take the responsibility away from the legislature if they keep this up. And start holding legislators in contempt.”
Desperate times….
The ungrateful border crossers and ghetto people they pretend to care about are wising up to the racket and abandoning them in droves at a time that all they have to sell is destruction of society and the country, so they can’t just count on people’s opinion of them to stay in the game. When all you have to sell is hate, sooner than later, the haters lose their steam…
BTW, this IS the courts taking the responsibility away from the legislature. They lost in the highest court. I don’t know why the court is still accepting submissions from the legislature here.
I think their ruling was that the map presented was unconstitutional, and the new map had to be reviewed by the court to make sure the problems mentioned are addressed. Once you fuck up, you left yourself open to the court’s approval.
The new map is supposed to be drawn by the “expert”. If this just turns into each party submitting their own maps again, we’re right back where we started several months ago.
I see the problem….
You really think the crime syndicate will actually follow the ruling issued by the court instead of trying to find a way around it to get what they want.
They better. The current procedure is in the Constitution now. That’s why the Democrats got smacked down in the first place.
How many criminals have you seen say “shit, it is the law, so I better not do the criminal thing I want to”? That’s what’s going on here. the crime syndicate has neither the desire nor the will to follow the law because doing so is would hurt their ability to escalate on the criminal activity. So they will continue to fight the decision hoping they find some loophole or force the system to deliver what they want, even if that is impossible. And if they are blocked, expect them to decide they will tear the system down rather than submit to the rules. Cause the rules are there to hamstring their enemies. Not to fuck with their shit.
I thought there was already a Special Master (ZOMG RACIST!) assigned to redraw the maps?
I think so, but both parties still get their say.
Music links are hosed.
I thought it was meta-humor on not doing anything original. 😉
And didn’t they already *try* the spinoff route with “That ’80s Show” that no one wanted (or watched from what I remember). Not to mention the last season of the original proved they’d really run out of steam.
And at this point, as much as I love hearing Red Forman call someone a dumbass — I think Kurtwood Smith should give it a rest already.
Just a quick hit of the reboots/remakes for this year alone…
That 80s Show was different cast/characters. Also, for whatever reason, my kids love That 70s Show. And it’s not from me or my wife watching it. They came across it on their own, sonthe younger kids seem to feel a connection to it somehow. Can’t wait for Netflix to woke it up. It’s going to be terrible.
I’ve found That ’80s Show to be much better on a recent rewatch because I imagine Glenn Howerton’s character is just a young Dennis Reynolds before he moved to Philly and bought a bar.
That 70s show has a special place in my family, because the characters were lifted right out of my family. Kelso was my step-dad and Hyde was my uncle. My mom will tell you she was Donna, but we all know she was really Laurie (Forman’s older sister).
My Dad, Bob, was a younger version of Bob, Jackie’s Dad. Red and Kitty were my Grandparents.
Forman (my uncle’s best friend), by the way, joined the Navy and turned out to be gay, if you want to know the true story.
Who was Fez?
Did not have one that I’m aware of.
I wonder what they’re going to do with FES.
According to today’s standards, the treatment of FES in Thats 70s Show pretty much throughout the series would be deemed irredeemably racist by the Hollywood elite. There are ethnicity jokes at his expense in nearly every interaction with him, often by the character himself.
Are they going to try and somehow reconcile that? Or are they just gonna say “Fuck it!”, let it roll, and allow the ratings, rather than the Twitterati, decide the show’s fate.
Even a little bit of wokeism will ruin any reboot attempt. Let’s hope Red is ruling the producer’s roost here, and not some Hollywood douche.
What’s wrong with them?
They’re repeats of the 90’s show link… which doesn’t seem very musical. 😉
AAAAAHHHHH!!!! NOW I’M HEARING THAT 90’S SHOW — THE MUSICAL! A FOUR MINUTE SONG ABOUT ERIC BEING A DUMBASS! KITTY’S SOLO ON MENOPAUSE! MAKE IT STOP!!!
Ah fuck. Fixing them.
They’re hosed
“This is some crazy ass shit. Too bad it didn’t happen in the 90’s so Tommy Lee Jones could be the star of the movie detailing the hunt for them. Alas, we will probably never be entertained any the freak show.”
I see that online dating prolly let her down so she had to settle for what she could get from desperate…
If this is real, this is the first time in my lifetime that people have leaked a SCOTUS decision. I bet it is Sotomayor’s staff. I hear those are some of the craziest moonbats out there…
Impeach Sotomayor?
It was. One of her clerks named Amit Jain. I hope he’s disbarred and prosecuted.
https://techtwiddle.com/amit-jain-supreme-court-clerk-behind-the-alleged-leak-of-abortion-draft/
Going to have to prove it.
Yeah — I read earlier that was the speculation based on 1) Him being a moron petulant proggie from Yale upset with Kavanaugh and still clerking for the court (but not with K, and if you were an up and coming lawyer / political wannabe, would you turn a clerkship down?!?) and 2) That he was quoted in an earlier article by the reporter that broke the leak (so setting the assumption that he’s a source).
That’s not proof — that’s weak sauce. It certainly might merit a closer look when they investigate, but nowhere near enough to actually accuse much less persecute the clerk.
Proof will be impossible to get, without a confession by either the clerk or the reporter.
Assuming, of course, that they weren’t so stupid as to leave a trail of texts/emails about it. And even that assumes there’s an investigation (which I doubt – who is going to investigate something benefitting the Left? Garland? Roberts? Hah!).
Confident prediction – nothing else will happen. Each and every clerk will go on to a sterling legal career. Hell, the DOJ lawyer who actually altered evidence to a federal court has his license and undoubtedly a good job somewhere.
Clerks are very much at-will positions. If the leak cape from Amit Jain he will be quietly fired, and never get another clerkship or get appointed to the federal bench.
If the cause is lost he will be burned at the stake by team blue, but if they can exploit it, he will become a hero…
I haven’t changed my mind from yesterday. Fire each and every clerk en masse and actively seek the evidence to prosecute the leaker. Just cite “loss of trust and confidence” that’ll ruin their careers for at least a decade or so. If the clerks don’t fear the loss of their careers this will happen again and again. I would be surprised if they did not sign Federal NDAs and IT agreements and everyone that I have ever signed informed me I could criminally prosecuted.
One refinement. The SC should quietly inform Yale, “No clerks for you!” for the next decade and make a point of getting clerks from a wider range of schools.
That link has phone AIDS
Super AIDS.
Also funny how this leak, unlike say the Hunter laptop, is able to be discussed by the MSM.
Yeah, where are the Twatter bans?
+1 Sensei.
Funny, isn’t it.
The “White Gang” are an odd pair. She’s 56 and he’s 39 but you’d swear that the ages were reversed. One last kick at the cat, I suppose.
“One last kick at the cat, I suppose.”
I rather like that, Festus. I think I shall use it.
That got a good laugh out of me.
Oh good lord……..Why?
Because the 80s was taken?
Daily Ray of Sunshine
Well, Jimbo, I’ll know who to go to when the time come. Thanks.
I have some interest in this, it being my district.
This is a laughably transparent dodge. The appeals to race (they can’t help themselves, I guess) are a nice touch.
There is ZERO reason to graft fucking Park Slope onto my district (jumping over several neighborhoods in between) that doesn’t center on getting the last Republican out of NYC.
They have done the same thing up here. Reduce the Northern seats so the stranglehold of power remains with the latte sippers. It’s all over but the crying, now.
Yeah, there are more “culturally” similar neighborhoods that would form a more compact district given the fact that NY lost a seat so the existing districts have to increase in size. But they also lean GOP so of course they were all split up a couple redistrictings ago.
Listen, if rethuglikkans don’t like it, they can found their own Alpha-class city.
I don’t care either way regarding the the Roe decision. Not my kettle, not my fish. I do care about someone lending more power to the people that want to silence us. Leaking that story is unprecedented. I don’t care which way the political wind blows. That’s bad Ju-Ju. They cheat, they lie and they obfuscate and that’s just the Republicans…

This is some crazy ass shit
She’s just a southern Harleen Quinzel, bless her heart.
President Poopy Pants perks up: “Did someone ask who wants puddin’?”
“America’s far-left wants to give us free health care and free childcare. America’s far-right wants to give us white supremacy and no democracy.”
LOL!
What about the silent majority that wants sundresses and unlimited beer?
Put enough beer in us, we won’t be silent!
As Mr. Ford says “cold beer, warm pussy, and a place to take a shit with a door on it.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6Ui_jQdSz0
I already pointed out that the people promising the voting ideocracy free government run healthcare not only politicized it, but made it racial, during the Kung Flu scandemic, making it obvious that when government owns healthcare – for real, like they have wanted to forever – it will be used as a weapon against any and all citizens that are not doing what said government wants. The “gimme free shit crowd” tends to mumble and complain, but they can no longer accuse people that pointed this out of just using hyperbole.
This reminds me that I owe an apology to a lot of the people I used to roll my eyes at that pointed out about the slippery slope in a slew of arguments from back when. It’s almost like every one of those warnings – all at once – came to kick those of us that told them they were just being dicks and bullshitting in the ass.
It used to be easier to ignore slippery slopes and conspiracy theories when they didn’t turn out to be true so often.
https://twitter.com/hashtag/alexjoneswasright
They banned the account, surprised they didn’t ban the hashtag, yet.
free childcare
In the education departments across this country, there are three tiers: secondary education (high school/middle school), primary education (elementary school), and early childhood education (ECE). The most intelligent (who may still not be that bright) sort into secondary and the least intelligent into ECE.
Think of everything that’s wrong with public education today and then multiply it and you’ve got a sense of what “free childcare” would be like.
I want to give no one anything. It’s not the government’s place to grant anything. If it has any legitimate function at all, it is to protect the rights we have and to defend against aggression from the outside.
The Daily Mail story probably got more clicks than his segment had viewers. Sorry guys, you’ve called literally everyone a Nazi now. It’s getting tedious.
How soon before that Ruskie Lavrov says that Musk has (((blood)))?
I think that is the new hawtness.
When you can’t defend or argue with logic, reason, and data for your beliefs, censorship is the sole measure to allow you to shout down the other side. The cathedral has lost the power of the old accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, and fascism (notice they never call you communists, though, cause they want to keep communism as the good thing) that once could be wielded to silence the enemy with impunity over time, as they just did it willy-nilly, and so on, and now HAS to resort censoring the people that would expose them for the criminal evil they are.
Promising free shit only goes so far when people realize you can’t deliver. At that point you have to make sure the only story heard by the people that still are in the matrix and prone to the programming, is whatever lie you need them to believe to keep the credentialed aristocracy with a desperate need to make it hereditary in power. Long live the medeocracy!
An apparent draft Supreme Court opinion obtained by Politico shows the panel’s conservative majority of justices is ready to overturn nearly 50 years of established abortion rights precedent since Roe v. Wade.
I can guarantee you that SCOTUS are shitting themselves over that. Releasing draft opinions is a big fucking deal, and at least one person is going to get fired over that.
That pink-haired loser should be making big rocks into little ones for that fuck up.
That’s not Cricket!
It’s okay, they’ll end up making millions at one of the TMITE outlets.
If any clerk/staffer is fired, I am sure that there will be no shit calls for impeachments of conservative SC judges.
Just like it somehow became an impeachable offense under Trump to do some horse swapping in foreign policy, it will turn out that being a SC clerk is a completely protected job and no one can ever be fired.
There are already calls to impeach conservative judges.
They STOLE Merrick Garland’s seat! Grand Larceny is a FELONY!
Yeah, Trump is totes a monster because he doesn’t respect the norms and customs of the office. But if we don’t get our way we will leak documents, start using impeachment all the time and change voting laws the way we want.
They only do it to save Democracy.
+1 person with knowledge of trump’s thinking
This goes beyond the need to get fired, Tonio. For the life of me, I can’t believe it is one of the justices that did that (cause if it was, we are into territory that implies the system has collapsed) so I am assuming the speculation that it is part of the staff is accurate (even though I am unsure if the person they accuse is the right one). This can’t only result in a firing: it has to have criminal consequences (and if it isn’t by law today, that has to be made the law, because this will destroy the balance of power even more than it already is) for the person that sabotaged the highest court in the land in this way,
A part of me cant shake the worries that this is all part of some evil strategy by the people that want to force the court to respond to political pressure or blackmail (the Roberts crowd), too.
I don’t think there will be any consequences. This will be a footnote in the chapter about the collapse of the institutions in America before the Burning Times.
A part of me cant shake the worries that this is all part of some evil strategy by the people that want to force the court to respond to political pressure or blackmail (the Roberts crowd), too.
I just assumed this is the point of the leak.
I can’t imagine why else it would be done.
True. If it is a real opinion, it would come out when the decision was announced anyway. From a cynical political point of view, it’s better for the Left for this to come out as late (and as close to the midterm election) as possible, so there’s no need to leak it a month or so in advanace. It has to be an op to influence opinions.
The only way the SCOTUS can maintain the facade of impartiality is for the Justices to release a unanimous statement condemning this leak, and perhaps, if their rules allow, delay the decision’s announcement until next year.
From an even more cynical perspective, perhaps the goal is to ignite a summertime protest movement/excuse for left wing violence leading up to the mid term elections.
Not delay it, release it sooner, fire and pillory the leaker, and require stricter nondisclosure agreements from hires going forward.
A unanimous statement, and immediate release of the opinion would be better. Immediate release removes any question about the Court buckling to pressure, and serves as a modicum of punishment for this stunt.
Confident prediction: neither will happen. Although doin so avoids the shitshow that will and should ensue if the final opinion isn’t nearly identical to the leaked one.
They’d get their riots without the leak. This isn’t to whip up the riots, this is to change the decision.
I can buy the immediate release being a strong statement that they will not be politically cowed. Although delaying it could serve as well–as a statement that “you don’t know what our real decision is yet” and as an attempt to prevent the decision from affecting the elections.
Thinking about it it in more detail, though, a delay would potentially result in politically destructive speculation and strife even more.
Definitely the leakers need to go, and perhaps the Justice to whose staff they belong should be censured as having ultimate responsibility for his/her organization.
R C Dean:
Yeah, I think this leak was designed to sway someone on the fence to changing their vote.
an attempt to prevent the decision from affecting the elections
The effect of judicial decisions on elections should be of no concern to judges. This would be just another way to politicize the judiciary even further.
RC, I hear what you’re saying but if the opinion was still in draft form then they might not want to issue it. They really, really like to fine tune these things. Then they have to give everyone else a chance to write concurring or dissenting opinions. I’ve seen weeks-long convos between judges about a single word choice.
Good point, Tonio. Reading further, this appears to be an earlier draft than I thought.
God help the Court if somebody flip-flops now, though.
I agree, but I was going for something a little different: that the Justices would want to make a point of attempting to reduce the political consequences of their decision as a show of maintaining their facade of political impartiality.
In another, more hilarious possibility, it could be a fake opinion written by Alito himself as “the opinion I want to / would write.” I know someone who worked as a newspaper editor who had a number of snarky articles of different lengths written to serve as filler for layout purposes, but failed to remove one before the paper went to press. Accidental publication of a “dream opinion” could be a possibility.
Delaying it has just as much effect on elections as releasing it. I have no doubt the anti-abortion people would see it that way, as a fundamentally pro-abortion move (which, honestly, it would be, by leaving the protections for abortions in place another year). The pro-choice people would also see a delay as a fundamentally political move, one rewarding them for taking this decision out of the courtroom and into the street.
I agree that at this point, a political effect cannot be avoided. I’m just thinking the Court might wish to take some action to spin their *appearance* of apolitical impartiality.
The only thing that would save the appearance of Impertiality would be to hand the leaker from the pillars outside the door of the courthouse, and to not change the votes already cast.
(Alexander Scourby voice) The system has collapsed.
Maybe it’s all bullshit? Getting people to think that could happen would get them to vote.
I hope for our sake this isn’t true. We are already badly losing the economic war we started.
Russia Is Returning To The Gold Standard And China Is Going To Be Next
I believe China has been building gold reserves for years now.
You are being delusional if you think China can make it happen and work, however. China’s accounting game, from the early 80s all the way up to today where it has gotten even worse, is all bullshit. Returning to any kind of realistic gold standard would force them to do real accounting, and that would cripple their economy, just like doing it half assed will also doom the whole thing to failure. I am not worried.
And as a FYI, returning to a gold standard will not solve any of our problems of today. That ship has sailed. Our problem isn’t that we no longer have a gold standard, but that the people that call the monetary & economic shots have no compunction to believe in or follow basic laws of economics instead of whatever political agenda benefits the decision makers in the short term. Believing that reverting back to a gold standard will stop these people is like believing that if you tell kiddy diddlers that there are consequences they will stop trying to do that diddling.
Don’t be silly, Alex. They’ll just claim that it’s backed by gold, but mandate that all the gold remain stored in official CCP vaults, private ownership of gold will be outlawed, and there will be no evidence that any of it actually exists, but everyone will accept the claim, because they’ll be disappeared otherwise.
The crazy shit UCS is that you might just be right. The international economic globalist cabal that has sold our country and children’s future to the CCP in return for a guarantee they and their offspring would get to run the new CCP province in North America has s far let China constantly lie about their economic output, so they might just go along with them doing exactly what you point out above and pretend that all is well.
Thanks pretty much what FDR did, only without the disappearances.
Are we sure about that? We need to get some GPR on the TVA projects to see if there are any remains under there.
Didn’t say it was a panacea for their ills, just an observation of their behavior. China’s economic issues are manifest and gold alone won’t solve them.
The infuriating part of global currencies is that every country is seeking to be the best looking turd in the punchbowl. It’s okay to suck as long as somebody else sucks harder is the rule of the game.
“The infuriating part of global currencies is that every country is seeking to be the best looking turd in the punchbowl.”
That’s a great description of our leadership class. I suspect that the good times have basically left the modern world with the dilemma that it is run by corrupt and soft men, which means we will be subjected to the hard times those men always lead us towards.
I thought the gold standard was a good thing.
Sure, watch someone try to redeem their paper for gold…
They’re backing it with gold *and* other commodities. I wonder which ones.
the value of the ruble, which should be backed by both gold and a group of goods that are currency values
It seems like his prediction about China going the same route is pure speculation.
Anyway, isn’t it good to have financially stable neighbors?
Not when you are completely unstable financially. Unless you have a lot of Rubles.

Titty Tuesday.
I am sooooooo looking forward to Abortion 24/7.
Already, I can see how much of my time is going to be spent this summer listening to friends and acquaintances telling me all about how insanely important this ruling is. And it will be from crazies on both sides.
With the success of mask wearing as a social signaling tool, I imagine that something like that is going to be coming along soon.
You just know that some crazies are going to make wind chimes that resemble aborted fetuses to bring to the rallies.
Hey! It was supposed to be Mr. Glib!
??
Then the whole campaign this Fall will be Democrats promising to groom the few kids they don’t kill.
How hot will they be?
“With the success of mask wearing as a social signaling tool, I imagine that something like that is going to be coming along soon.”
Chastity belts, worn over clothing?
They already believe they live in Handmaid’s Tale, so they will lean harder into the red dress and bonnet look.
Coat hanger on yer belt.
I’m bringing back the cod piece then.
Oh shit, the new socially conscious corporate HR/PR depts are going to jump onto this as well, aren’t they?
Just in case some of you haven’t read it yet:
The Pre-Persons by Phillip K. Dick
Interesting, thanks.
I heard an apocryphal story that Planned Parenthood had asked PKD to write a story about abortion, but didn’t think to check what his views on it were. The Pre-Persons was the story that was written and released (with Planned Parenthood being… unhappy with it), and got PKD quite a bit of hate mail.
Thanks for this, Neph.
Seconded. Really good.
‘But here’s the difference. America’s far-left wants to give us free health care and free childcare. America’s far-right wants to give us white supremacy and no democracy.
‘And this asymmetrical polarization of U.S. politics would be laughable if it went so horrifying.’
Hasan said the United States was ‘living through an unspeakably dangerous moment,’ noting that ‘the pro-QAnon, pro neo-Nazi faction of the Republican party is poised to expand dramatically’ in November’s midterms.
He added: ‘We’re just two years away from Donald Trump, very possibly, re-seizing executive power.’
The Doomsday Cuckoo Clock.
Huh. I guess getting more votes than your opponent in an election is “re-seizing executive power”.
I’m gonna roll with it. We are months away from Ilhan Omar, AOC and Nancy Pelosi “re-seizing power”.
How did Hasan escape the right-wing death squads the last time Trump was president?
LINKS UPDATED WITH ACTUAL, NO-SHIT MUSICAL LINKS!!!!!!
You are a good guy, Sloop. I admire you and your family.
You might change your mind when you listen to the links.
No. I am a fan! Bought the vinyl in 1977. P.I.L. is a good band too.
Laura Prepon is no longer a redhead?
“Inconceivable!”
“I don’t want to be insensitive, but dude…shut the fuck up. It’s been 26 years. You need to move on rather than float stupid ass ideas that will do nothing but create an even larger national police force. I’m sorry for your loss. Shut the fuck up. Thank you.”
I still think the parents did it.
Or the brother.
Wasn’t the brother some flavor of retarded?
The dude should talk to Patty Wetterling.
Her kid was abducted and missing for decades (was finally solved a few years ago). She finally figured out that we have too many laws (esp. sex offender lists) that are now ruining people’s lives and not keeping kids any safer.
* Non-Minnesodans, do you know who Patty Wetterling is? Or is she just famous here?
Yes. I know about her and Jacob.
Is she a hot dish recipe queen?
Mom of kid who was abducted in broad daylight.
She was the face of the child abduction scare panic in the ’90s. To her credit she has come around and realized that he solutions were worse than the disease.
‘Non-Minnesodans, do you know who Patty Wetterling is? ‘
Nope
And while everyone is focused on the ineptitude and stupidity of the ruling class by story after story of how off the reservation these people have gone, the real shit is yet to come….
Over from the dead thread – At work last night I listened to the entirety of “Tommy” for the first time in 35 years. Not one of my top 30 bands but Damn! It holds up very nicely. Shame about the pedophilia…
Sorry, “research”.
How can anyone not be excited about having the Feds become involved in kid crimes? The FBI can bring their vaunted expertise to bear on the monsters who hurt kids.
We’ll have the same awesome results as we did when they took on foreign terrorists (or even domestic ones who want to hurt governors)!
The Feds will be doing “research”.
‘Member when they solved the anthrax mailings? And exposed that dastardly Richard Jewell?
The FBI will be way too busy hunting down internet shitposters on behalf of NKVD Barbie.
Putting the same people who covered up Epstein’s client network twice in charge of crimes against children? Now, that’s some grade-A trusting the science right there.
Were they transferred in from the Whitey Bulger Protection Unit?
The power of the press is measured not in how many people read it but in how few people know how utterly atrocious the FBI actually is.
Mueller in particular…
His elevation to nonpartisan Saint during Trump’s term was sickening. He’s an amoral bureaucrat who put the prosperity of the agency far above any commitment to justice or ethics. He’s just a liar for hire.
This is a huge part of how the swamp operates. Obviously getting a rank partisan in there with media cover is preferable when feasible, but even when not, the slate of “reasonable moderates” is just people like Mueller whose truest loyalty is to the system that keeps them fed and “respected”.
How often did we hear about the “incredible integrity of James Comey”?
I’m starting to think that might be bullshit.
Prior to his first ruling on the Clinton Emails, I remember the GOP touting Comey as a straight shooter. Then when he pronounced that there was noting to see, the two parties flip flopped. The Dems all of a sudden said Comey was a consumate professional and the GOP called him a hack.
Then just before the election he announced that he had reversed again and would look into the emails because they were found on Huma/Weiner’s laptop. Of course the two parties once again effortlessly flip flopped again.
It is almost like there is no one in DC with principles.
The FBI is incapable of solving a crime it didn’t instigate.
RE: Kathy Boudin.
I know it’s easy to dunk on these Commie terrorists, and they totally deserve it, but I think 22 years is reasonable for being an unarmed decoy. More frustrating is how these pathetic ’60s radicals get lionized by celebrities, academics and politicos; that to me is much more embarrassing.
+1 Bill Ayers
But Angela Davis is still a grade A POS
Those Manson automatons should have been released decades ago. If the case weren’t so high profile they would have been living somewhere like Linden, Washington and raising grandchildren.
They end up faculty at American universities, and teach their “values”.
The best bet is to hide out long enough for people to calm down, just ask Kathy Soliah. I still know people who think that she should have gotten the Polanski treatment, aka enough time has gone by what difference does it make now?
Also, a call back to today’s abortion talk:
I take it back. Granted, that was a very long time ago.
The Supreme Court is apolitical. I heard that from a Constitutional scholar.
Was it from a wise Latinx?
Why can’t they make districts simple geometrical shapes like counties in Iowa?
Because that may not get the “right” people elected.
But that can’t be their stated reason.
RE: Roe v. Wade.
You mean I might have to start wearing a condom during the outrageous amount of filthy, promiscuous sex I’m having with women of all ages? This is literally worse than genocide.
/sarc
It’s not even worth joking about, anymore. Nuclear annihilation didn’t bump the poll numbers enough. Let’s flick the tiger’s ball-sack.
C’mon man! Follow the SCIENCE!
You only have wear a condom when having sex with females that have hit puberty. Not all ages like you claimed. You are still free to gambol freely on Epstein Island.
Dark, Man…
Epstein Island isn’t for the proles.
Jimbo just explained the left’s current fetish of puberty blockers.
It isn’t their artistic interest in boys choirs?
There was talk about Vienna sausages now that you bring it up….
OK. How about this as a compromise? Free in utero sexual assignment surgeries? I’m sure even the most ardent abortion rights supporters would agree that aborting a trans babx would be bad?
The genius part of my plan is that it will all be a scam. The ultra sound will be a fake. The tech will first check on the sex of the baby, then will hit a button showing a video of a baby of the opposite sex. The parents obviously will then demand that the baby be re-assigned sex before being born. The doc will go through a sham surgery. When the kid is born everyone is happy.
Prescient!
Profit!
Oddly, the usual population sex ratios will remain unchanged…

I bet he was slanging that d like a pro. Like make corrections officers in female prisons, females in make prisons are probably a bad idea.
I watched a documentery called OZ about 20-odd years ago.
Probably a bad idea. But you have to admit that it makes the hostage taking during a prison riot way hotter.
`make prisons` — huh, they just keep changing the words for containers like Docker these days….
Hey, if I’m gonna post, I’m going to have crappy typos. It’s just a fact of life.
Now I know someone is going to suggest an easy solution to this problem.
You would be very very surprised how many female COs work in male prisons. At least in PA, its alot. The reverse, however, is not true. Mostly due, I would imagine, to PREA law. (male COs cannot do patdowns on female inmates, but the reverse is not true, for instance)
Yeah, just doesn’t seem like a good idea. The past down thing should go both ways too. Sorry, not sorry. Equality for all, please.
Pat down. Damnit.
I wanna play these games but I’m apparently not that clever.

1) Demand payment for oil in rubles
2) Only sell rubles for gold

Profit!
Slight problem – Russia’s economy is only about the size of Texas’ economy.
Less so, I think.
Italy is a good comp.
It isn’t so much that Russia goes to the gold standard – It is that all the other countries will follow. We will be left in the dust.
What other countries do you think want to go to that gold standard? Peru? Argentina? Egypt? Angola? Cambodia?..
Cause it will not be any EU nation or any country outside the ones that have as their primary function to destroy the current world order to put themselves on top (not to be confused with the globalist agenda).
That leaves us with Russia, which has the GDP of NY state or Italy, and China’s CCP which is driven by one goal: dethroning the US economically and militarily so they can really show idiots what a global empire with their boot on the necks of lesser nations looks like.
“If you can’t beat em, draw em out of existence.”
Amazing how a 60-40 electorate results in a 90-10 delegation.
Maryland has something close to a 2:1 with a delegation that is 7:1 with attempts to get it to 8:0.
They were forced to redraw so it is back to 7 to 1.
How can they be truly free as long a Nazi is allowed to represent a part of the state?
They already eliminated the only Republican with any balls in this state when they redrew the districts from 6:2 to 7:1.
Roscoe? I remember getting Gerrymandered out of his district. My district looked increasingly like a Rorschach test before I unassed the state.
Yep. Though he was getting quite old by the time they eliminated his district.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-2022-maps/maryland/
538 says it is 6-1-1 (1 competitive district) but the Western district goes too close to DC to be considered competitive.
Frederick City/County has also had a precipitous leftward shift as a lot of the government and government-adjacent workers moved out there.
That is an improvement over the 2013 map
Yep, I moved from Carroll county to the lower Eastern shore and did not leave the district.
You can only shake your head in disbelief at that thing.
I believe I would have ended up in 3 if I hadn’t left.

Good news everybody! Looks like the Abortion Tent at this year’s Honey Harvest is safe!
I ca accept that people in some states will want to keep abortion legal. I still however draw the line at them stealing my tax dollars to pay to kill innocent kids when brutal and evil criminals are not killed.
Surprise, the justices actually will rule that the unborn have rights and rule it’s illegal throughout the USA.
That would really set off some fireworks.
A quick review of the HH Abortion Tent shows it to be NIB. A quick review of the pictures of the participants is self exlanatory
I don’t understand. I thought most bees were celibate, except that one.
So are the HH participants, not by choice but by the calendar
Yes but the bees to tend to drone on and on about sex.
Are those the fucker bees? As opposed to the worker bees that are constantly working until they drop dead…
I am shocked.
There’s always room for Troll-o
Russia’s foreign ministry accused Israel on Tuesday of supporting neo-Nazis in Ukraine, further escalating a row which began when Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed Adolf Hitler had Jewish origins.
Israel lambasted Lavrov on Monday, saying his claim – made when talking about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy who is Jewish – was an “unforgivable” falsehood that debased the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust.
Leaders from several Western nations denounced Lavrov’s comments and Zelenskiy accused Russia of having forgotten the lessons of World War Two.
The Russian ministry said in a statement that Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid’s comments were “anti-historical” and “explaining to a large extent why the current Israeli government supports the neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv”.
I don’t fucking care. This shit makes me laugh.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy who is Jewish
Those funny Jews and their noted love for proclaiming the glory of Christ’s return on Easter.
Hey — I hear Christianity was even founded by Jews or something… Blow your mind, man!

Pete Davidson obviously made a deal with the Devil in his younger years.
Kill your dad in exchange for endless celebrity sex?
On the surface he seems to be living the good life, but I wonder. He had to put up with a lot of crazy women. How bad would it be to live with Kim for three weeks while she was eating only tomatoes.
I would guess that he could have way more fun picking up hot waitresses and having flings with them.
He might be crazier than she is. A match made in heaven.
I think one of the worst times I ever had fishing was when a theater person/actor wanted to try out fishing.
There was no sitting quietly in the boat fishing. The guy was “on” the whole time. Had to be talking and doing anything to be the center of attention.
What I like best about fishing is the solitude. I love just being out there by myself enjoying the quiet.
Long Beach is considering spending over $1B, mostly paid through the state, to seal operational oil wells that generate $45M per year in revenue.

You go to war with the truth you wish you had
For weeks, an unknown Ukrainian fighter pilot captivated the nation and some of the world with his extraordinary battle feats, becoming a symbol of heroic resistance to Russia’s invasion that came to be emblazoned everywhere from T-shirts to NFTs.
Now, the Ukrainian air force says the Ghost of Kyiv never existed. And although the myth is dead, war watchers said its spread raised questions over how information is processed in a war where journalists have struggled to access the front lines.
As with most legends, the Ghost of Kyiv’s origin is shrouded in mystery, but it was undoubtedly abetted by former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, who tweeted an image of a masked fighter pilot who purportedly shot down six Russian jets within hours of Moscow’s invasion.
If anybody understands the power of political mythology, it’s NBC.
Crappy day here at the Sensei household. I’m in Day 3 of a crappy cold. COVID test says not the commie cough. Father in law died this morning roughly 10 years after being diagnosed with dementia.
First 3 years or so weren’t bad, but after that things just got worse and worse. Essentially past two years unable to communicate and finally unable to eat.
What an awful disease. My sympathies to all that have to deal with this and their families.
Mental degradation in old age is a horrible thing. Especially for those of us that saw strong, independent people turn into children requiring 24/7 supervision and help. I don’t fear dying. I am really fucking scared of having what happened to my dad happen to me, even though he went downhill and passed in less than 10 months. I would rather take a bullet than go through that 9and put people around me through it).
Indeed, I wonder how they dealt with this in the old days. Seems the correct thing to do would be to take a long hike up a mountain and never come down.
My sympathies for your loss, which seems like it began a long time ago. I hope you find comfort in past memories of the lost, and relief in his release from that awful disease.
Sorry, Sensei. Dementia is a cruel disease.
My Grandmother didn’t know me for at least the last five years of her life. It sounds cold, but it was a blessing when she was finally released from that awful world.
Prayers for your family.
Sorry 🙁
Sorry to hear the FIL news, in both respects, Sensei.
I don’t fear death but the other. Some of my classmates are in that state, it ain’t Margaritaville.
I’m sorry about your FIL, Sensei. I wish all the best to you and your family as you cope with the loss.
Thanks all!
In case you think the cabal isn’t coordinating the evil shit they are hoping to foist on us, check this out. It’s coordinated. I joke that these people look at dystopian novels like “1984”, “Atlas Shrugged”, or “Brave New World” as How-to manuals, but at this point I think the joke is on me because they whether they are getting it from the books or not, they want a dystopian totalitarian state (as long as they hold the power).

Kudos to 60 Minutes for leaving that clip on Youtube, I guess.
William Alberque, director of strategy, technology and arms control for the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a London-based research institute, said the ghost myth was designed to boost morale within the country, and, for a time, it succeeded.
No shit, Shirley?
It was designed for far more than that. Otherwise I would not have seen it reported a dozen times as fact in my local newspaper.
Lol, good one.
What an awful disease. My sympathies to all that have to deal with this and their families.
One of my uncles died suddenly a few weeks ago. I had to resist the urge to tell my cousins how goddam lucky they are.
My 89 year old grandmother died from aortic aneurysm. Her last 24 hours sucked, but until that point she was active, healthy and in full possession of her wits.
Short of dying in your sleep she did much better than my FIL.
As someone that has seen many loved ones linger and suffer on the way out, I concur that you had the right thought and handled it right by keeping it to yourself.
I’ve been through both. Mom had cancer and withered away. She was in hospice care for months. The last month she was pretty out of it and it tore Dad to pieces.
Dad died of a massive stroke last summer. Days after going on our annual salmon fishing trip he collapsed at home and was dead.
With Mom we got to say goodbye, but the price was watching her suffer. Dad was a spry old coot who played 3 sets of tennis the day before his stroke and went out in about as painless a way as possible. The downside was that we never got to have that final good bye. It is also extra hard to accept that someone who was in such good physical shape is gone.
I’m still not sure which was worse.
Shit.
I’ve been through both as well. Dad died of a cerebral aneurysm suffered while working out in his late 50s, while Mom died of a lingering cancer after 16 years of treatment.
I, like you, don’t know which is worse.
Sorry 🙁
My grandmother on my mother’s side had perhaps the ideal exit. She had a stroke while at her birthday party, surrounded by her friends and enjoying herself. She came to briefly in the hospital, with her children present, and then died.
My uncle went out like that. His whole family, kids and grandkids, gathered for his 84th birthday. The last of the kids to leave was my cousin E., as my uncle was walking her out to her car he suddenly stopped, looked at my cousin, smiled, said “I love you, honey,” and went over backwards. Hit the ground dead. Heart failure.
He’d had a bad heart for years. But when the Old Man called and told me about it, my thought was that we should all be so lucky as to go out like that.
I’m sure that “Ghost of Kyiv” thing would have been caught by the Disinformation Board and stopped right away.
Why is everyone laughing?
Cause you sad something real funny there TOK… For real…
I can solve NY’s problem: single state-wide vote using Single Transferable Vote.
For a state like CA, that would be a lot of fun, it would take less than 2% of the vote to elect a Rep.
For NY, it would be, what, 4%? Yeah, with 26 seats, just under 4%. Small parties can elect members in those kind of states. If black democrats want to put black democrats at the top of their ballot, then black democrats will get elected. Or maybe, you know, some black republicans too.
And some libertarians and some greens. And some hard core communists, for that matter.
It solves redistricting issues in mid-size states too. CO elects 8, so you don’t have to gerrymander. 12.5% of the vote elects a Rep.
I think Dems in KY would like this, they can probably get a 2nd Rep. They have 1 guaranteed and 1 semi-competitive district now, but can’t seem to win the latter. Statewide, they can get 2 elected. Although the Louisville Dem won’t get a single vote from state Dems, so he would barely squeak into office.
Draw the districts however you want.
What I want is that everyone gets to vote in their own district, PLUS they get to vote in one other House and one other Senate race.
So we can vote out AOC or Moobs or Pelosi or McConnell.
Basically every Congress person would want to keep as low a profile as possible.
Well, thanks for everything, Glibbies! Things have become pretty dour of late. You are my friends and I love you This………….. Much! Good Night and God-Speed!
Here is my prediction:
1) GOP still cleans up in 2022 mid terms.
2) Smoking gun comes out implicating Sotomayer directly in this leak.
3) the wise latinix is impeached
4) Biden’s nominees are all unable to be confirmed
5) Trump wins in 2024. All challenges to dodgy election results in favor of Trump are dismissed in 4-4 ties.
6) Sea levels rise 6 feet due to flood of proggie tears.
My prediction:
1) Widespread political
peaceful protestsriots this summer.2) GOP cleans up but maybe a little less than they expect now
3) Nothing happens wrt Supreme Court — GOP doesn’t know how to wield power
4) Biden runs into lame duck status in 2023
5) Extreme inflation occurs due to policy deadlock between the Executive and Legislative branches
6) DeSantis takes the GOP nom and wins in 2024.
7) We are all diminished
Toss a WWIII in there somewhere.
Post-partum abortions and setrilizations for all survivors!
My prediction is that life goes on, a little bumpy. Some of us have a flat tire once in a while. The grass will grow, my tomatoes will freeze.
The rest of the world will keep on keepin’ on and we’ll wonder why.
All of the Glibs will show up for HH and expect a Jimbo/Tundra showdown and will not be disappointed. Some will vow to come back next year, some will vow never to return, for the same reasons.
‘5) Extreme inflation occurs due to policy deadlock between the Executive and Legislative branches’
Eh, extreme inflation is happening because everyone in government agrees, more spending is required. Also, the lockdowns which are now baked in and cannot be fixed by government, no matter what they’re like to do.

INSURRECTION!!!
What a coincidence that they were able to coalesce their protests in such a quick and efficient manner.
heh heh.
It’s a mystery!
My first thought too.
There are to be three protests in my town today. I first became aware of the whole situation on my drive to work this morning. The Outrage Machine certainly hits the road quickly.
Top Knob Twiddlers
The Fed’s intent in raising rates is to discourage spending just enough to bring down inflation, without tipping the economy into recession — what economists call a “soft landing.”
“That’s our goal,” Powell said. “I don’t think you’ll hear anyone at the Fed say that that’s going to be straightforward or easy.”
Some analysts are skeptical that the central bank can strike that delicate balance, having waited until inflation has climbed so high.
——-
In addition to raising interest rates, the Fed is expected to announce plans to gradually reduce the collection of government bonds and mortgage-backed securities that it bought during the pandemic.
Buying those bonds helped pump money into the economy and keep borrowing costs low. Reducing the Fed’s holdings should have the opposite effect — tamping down demand and helping to curb inflation.
“It’s a secondary tool, but it does remove quite a bit of liquidity and accommodation from the system,” said Kathy Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.
Don’t worry about a thing. The nation is in the best of hands. We’ll be back swilling from the punch bowl in no time.

I am mostly ambivalent about the Pistols. They were fun and shocking when I was a kid, but I rarely ever listen to them anymore.
The Pentagon has released a video filmed at an army base in Georgia, showing the M113 armored personnel carriers that will be sent to Ukraine.
You usually see those aluminum death boxes on the target range of big bases. The Ruskies will be shooting holes in them soon enough.
We still have M113s to send?
Aluminum foil boxes were relatively cheap as far as military hardware goes. We probably have scads.
Wikipedia* asserts we made over 80,000 of them.

The other option was the EM50 Urban Assault Vehicle.
They’re not going to Czechoslovakia.
Think of all the free studies they will be able to do on the failures of these APCs mostly still used by people in the third world nations after they get peppered by fire! In the age of automated loitering munitions, mechanized warfare might need to be rethought…

Eh, that’s asking to get someone to pull out Rule 5.3.1
If my Astroglide sponsor logo hasn’t got me DQ’d yet, this should be fine.
Since I just know everyone was wondering:
To me, the abortion debate can be summed up thusly: The point at which a fetus becomes a person is, at least legally, completely arbitrary. One can make the argument that it occurs anywhere from conception (when life begins) to age 26 post birth (when the brain becomes fully developed), and it will be just as sound of an argument as at any other also-arbitrary point in development. One side, knowing that the point is arbitrary, wants to err on the side of not killing a person. The other side, knowing that the point is arbitrary, wants to err on the side of not forcing someone to do something against their will. I am sympathetic to both arguments. It seems to me that something so divisive shouldnt have a one size fits all solution, but I also think that handling at the state level is ALSO too large of a community to handle it. It would be best left to localities (at largest) to decide. With that being said, the Hyde Amendment needs strengthened, as the localities that are against should in no way have to pay for something that they are opposed to.
This is as close to my opinion on the subject as I have read before, with the exception that I’m honestly not familiar with the Hyde Amendment’s impact here.
The Hyde Amendment is pretty much symbolic, because money is fungible. If we wanted anything close to a working system that allows for both pro-life and pro-choice views without everyone being at everyone else’s throats, we would need Hyde to do what its actually supposed to do.
It strikes me, reading your comment, how the trans kids issue runs parallel to this.
See, I don’t think it’s a question of timing. One side believes personhood is bestowed. The other believes personhood is inherent. There is a similar split in the trans issue. Some believe gender is bestowed, others believe it is inherent.
As a result “when does that human become a person” is nonsensical to the anti-abortioner. Same way that “when can a person choose their gender” is nonsensical to an anti-transfer.
Because of that, compromise is abhorrent to both. “you want no killing, and I want the ability to kill for the first 9 months, let’s compromise and only allow killing for the first 4 months” is hardly acceptable. “you want no kids mutilating their bodies with hormones and surgeries, and I want all kids to be able to mutilate their bodies, so let’s compromise and let 13 year olds mutilate their bodies” is similarly unacceptable.
It strikes me, reading your comment, how the trans kids issue runs parallel to this.
I’ve always thought there were a lot of similarities between this and the 2nd A. There is no compromise. Those against will not stop until fighting until it is firearm ownership is banned everywhere.
it will be interesting to see if the antiabortion side takes on similar tactics if abortion is left up to each state. Will those anti who live in states that will/have outlawed abortion push for a federal ban or fund advocacy movements and candidates in other states that allow abortion to enacts bans there? I’m thinking of Bloomberg pouring money into VA to restrict firearm ownership.
I don’t intend the comparison in a negative light. Just looking at the anti-firearm ownership model and thinking that the abortion fight is far from over even with it being left up to States to decide. In some ways the fight is now just beginning. Far from being the final say, Roe vs. Wade was akin to just stuffing the fight inside a pressure cooker until it exploded.
The problem is extremism. While there would still be people against abortion, there would be way less opposition if the other side wasn’t pushing for late-term elective abortions. In almost all countries where abortion is legal it’s limited to somewhere around 20-weeks. So even in countries with large Catholic populations there isn’t a constant political struggle like there is in the U.S. People have a much more visceral reaction to things that seem ghoulish than things that are merely wrong.
In Ukraine it’s 12 weeks. Chew on that, lefties.
And I agree with you. The fucking libs want us to be more like Europe, except for things like abortion.
I would be much more ambivalent, I think, had they not gone full ghoul and insisted it was totes cool to murder a 39 week old baby.
I’m starting to think the US left moving farther left as a whole than in Europe. They are getting that nutty.
I wonder how well the CPUSA would do if we had a parliamentary system.
Parliments only work when you don’t allow universal suffrage.
The problem is extremism. While there would still be people against abortion, there would be way less opposition if the other side wasn’t pushing for late-term elective abortions
I disagree. There has been no end to the compromises given and ground ceded by the pro-firearm given over the past several decades. The anti-firearm side has shown that no ground given will ever be enough. They will fight on and on until firearm ownership is ended in America. That many/most people in America approve of the system we have now with background checks, bans on automatic weapons, etc. doesn’t matter.
I think most Americans would share my view on abortion. I don’t feel strongly about it either way and would be okay with drawing the line somewhere around 16-20 weeks. People like me aren’t the ones funding anti-abortion campaigns and driving the issue in either direction. People who are anti-abortion are driving the issue and they see no difference between abortion at 16 weeks and late-term abortion. Just as the anti-2A people see no difference in ownership between a handgun and an automatic machine gun.
I used to be okay with compromise, but then I thought about it and listened to what both sides have had to say.
Now I’m of a midn that there should be no restrictions on firearms and no murdering of the unborn.
Agree on both counts, if neither is a top issue of mine.
They are the only “logical” positions to me.
” There has been no end to the compromises given and ground ceded by the pro-firearm given over the past several decades. The anti-firearm side has shown that no ground given will ever be enough.”
Again, the problem is extremism. If no one tried to push federal gun laws past where they were in 1968, there wouldn’t this huge fight over gun laws.
People are reactive. Prior to the assault weapons ban, very few people owned “assault weapons”, now that law has expired, everyone and their uncle has an AR-15.
The problem is extremism. While there would still be people against abortion, there would be way less opposition if the other side wasn’t pushing for late-term elective abortions.
You originally pointed out the people on the side pushing for expanded access as the example of extremism.
Again, the problem is extremism. If no one tried to push federal gun laws past where they were in 1968, there wouldn’t this huge fight over gun laws.
Now you are using those pushing for restricted access as the example of extremism.
It sounds like you are saying that the parties who disagree are responsible for the disagreement. I can’t really disagree with that.
Yes, they are both examples of extremism.
What I’m saying that there would be much less disagreement if there weren’t extremists on either side. With abortion, there are arguably people on both sides pushing an extreme position. With guns, the extremism is almost entirely on the anti-gun side.
There wouldn’t be much disagreement if it was “Abortions, but no elective abortions after 20 weeks, felons can’t buy guns, and you still need a tax stamp for a machine gun. So no one is happy. We’re done here. Everyone go home.”
There wouldn’t be much disagreement if it was…
Color me skeptical.
Count Potato, there is no moral high ground in compromise for the sake of avoiding arguments that need to be had.
Extremism is not per se a sin.
Compromising with evil is abetting evil.
Why do I need a tax stamp for a machine gun?
Except, I don’t think anyone is trying to ban adults from transitioning, or trying to legalize killing babies long after they are born. Regardless, after a certain point people are old enough to decide things for themselves. So letting adults transition would be a good compromise.
Adults can do whatever they want to their own body… But plz only with their own money. Don’t make tax payers pay for that shit. Not unless they will pay for my “medical visits” to the massage parlor too…
I would add do not ask me to recognize, tolerate, or celebrate whatever delusion made them undergo surical mutilation.
I think it would depend on why they are transitioning, and also up to whatever insurance they have, etc.
Alex,
Thats pretty much where Im at. You want to kill your kids? Thats fucked up. Dont you dare force me to participate one iota.
Maybe we should put all the academic economists to work in the fields
As Credit Suisse’s economist Zoltan Pozsar aptly observed recently: The Fed can “print money, but not oil to heat or wheat to eat.”
Even with a perfect growing season, most major grains require seven to eight months from planting to harvest — and no one, including the Fed, can change that timeline. Nor can the Fed speed up the 118 gestation days to produce a piglet, or the six additional months it takes to get to your grocery store. The Fed also cannot cure this spring’s Midwest bird flu that has forced the culling of 24 million poultry chicken and turkeys.
By March, the Producer Price Index had risen 11.2 percent over the previous 12 months, marking the largest increase since November 2010, when the government began compiling the data as it now does, and reflecting all of the aforementioned factors that are beyond the Fed’s control. For wholesalers, all food rose 16 percent over a year ago, fruits and vegetables over 18 percent, fresh and dry vegetables an astonishing 82 percent, grains 40 percent, processed chickens 29 percent, cooking oils 46 percent and dairy products 19 percent.
These wholesale price increases are now in the agricultural pipeline and will begin to show up for consumers at the grocery store over the next many months. Powell’s Fed may be able to reduce overall inflation by raising interest rates, but its efforts may not have the desired effect at the kitchen table.
They can work right next to the public health experts.
Pol Pot was an evil fuck, but his dislike for academia was not totally wrong. He should have been more focused on getting rid of the studies types instead of killing them all…
Joking, but people that live in protected bubbles where they never have to suffer from the consequences of their horrible ideas, should be made to pay.
We encountered a great deal of derision from family and friends when deciding to leave the city ~10 years ago to start a small farm.
Since the pandemic and now with food inflation, those same people have let us know that they’ll be coming to our place if things get much worse. Yeah, good luck with that.
*Ponders shifting 401k contributions towards further expanding cattle herd*
I’m shopping for land right now. Family and friends who say that stuff to me get the question: what value do you bring?
Can you bring weapons and ammo you are well trained and practiced with? Farming equipment, fuel, non-hybrid seeds, livestock, adjacent land?
Are you willing to fund the above for me to reserve a spot?
I have no experience in farming. My ammo stores wouldn’t last a week.
Crap. Uhh… I have six days experience as a blacksmith?
I’m far from a New World Order, black helicopter conspiracy theory wackadoodle, but I will say that Mrs. Animal and I have been laying in good supplies of various seeds, along with buying a few fifty-pound bags of rice, beans and flour for storage in sealed plastic containers. I’ve got a good supply of ammo; over 500 rounds of .338 Win Mag, over 500 rounds of my hot .45 Colt loads, a few hundred rounds of assorted 12 and 16 gauge shells, and several thousand .22LR, among other assorted stuff.
Some folks might call it paranoid. At this juncture I’m inclined to call it prudent.
You’re underprovisioned, you need more ammo.
That’s not the only ammo I have.
Yeah, no – I won’t last a week in the New World Order.
Whatever… it’s been a good run.
The events of the last few years have really helped me understand history. I now get Pol Pot and understand why he marched the city people out to the boonies to do manual labor. Not saying I’d do it, but I understand.
I think he went too far in persecuting the wearing of eyeglasses.
/Some people just have bad eyes.
Remember in 2020 when farmers had to kill their pigs because the govt shut down all the slaughterhouses to avoid the Rona?
I’m going to tell my hungry neighbors that story over and over again when these food shortages hit.
ZARDOZ approves of this plan.
The shitshow failed in NY, so lets repeat it in Georgia?

Grassroots
The grassroots labor union that made history last month when it formed the first union at an Amazon warehouse in the United States has lost a union election at a much smaller facility just across the street.
The election, held last week at the Staten Island sorting facility known as LDJ5 and the votes of which were counted Monday, was the second to be organized by the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), a newly established union, started by a local group of Amazon warehouse workers and led by a fired employee.
A public tally of the vote, held Monday at the National Labor Relation Board’s Brooklyn office and broadcast over Zoom, heavily favored not unionizing. There were 618 votes against unionizing and 380 in favor. Out of approximately 1,633 eligible voters, 998 votes were counted. There were no challenged ballots. Two ballots were voided.
In a statement, Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said the company is “glad that our team at LDJ5 were able to have their voices heard. We look forward to continuing to work directly together as we strive to make every day better for our employees.”
While the ALU did not immediately respond to CNN Business’ request for comment, it tweeted: “The organizing will continue at this facility and beyond. The fight has just begun.”
We’re going to keep this up until we get what we want. That’s how DEMOCRACY! works. Next time, we’ll get the NLRB to put their thumb on the scale even harder.
Did those poor Amazon workers get Eid off?
Who wants to tell Tyler that all sorts of people work on Christmas. People who think it is super important to spend that day with their families take vacation of swap shifts.
Work decided to combine the celebration for Eid and Cinco de Mayo into a single “churros and lemonade” event.
I’m offended.
Yeah, I think I worked every Christmas before my mid-thirties or so.
At least I know why someone was blaring shitty Arab electro all day yesterday.
I pulled a guard duty shift at an ammunition supply point on Christmas one red cycle.
The SCOTUS leak, ultimately, can be laid at the feet of John Roberts. His “penaltax” move to “preserve the legitimacy of the Court” with the left showed the world that, under his tenure, the Court would be moved by political pressure, even on a case-to-case basis, regardless of the actual legal reasoning at stake. Once that was established, it was only a matter of time before some activist clerk decided to try to tip the scales on a particular case.
I’m still thinking it could be fake.
Could well be. If so, the best way to discredit it is to release the real decision immediately.
98 pages of writing in a style that so closely mimics Alito’s that conlaw experts can’t tell them apart rife with citations and footnotes is a lot of effort for a forgery to rile up the base. More than they’ve put into previous faked documents.
I buy activist clerk over fakery as the simpler explaination.
You forget that the people in charge feel it is more important and viable to sink years of efforts into lying to the unwashed voting masses about what is really going on and what they are doing rather than spend a few weeks to do anything that might actually mitigate or help with whatever they are trying to deal with. When your mindset is to focus 100% of your work on controlling opinion and 0% on fixing anything, you would think that investment of time is worth it…
And by now, we would have heard a denounciation as a fraud from the court.
Who was the first to report the leaked document? I’d imagine the FBI or whatever SCOTUS uses for security is at his house right now.
I wonder, when was the last time the Supreme Court issued a search warrant?
I am skeptical that FBI/DOJ will aggressively investigate this. Why should institutions captured by the left investigate something that benefits the left? Oh, there may well be some pro forma investigation, but I am sure it will disappear into a could of “First Amendment” and “freedom of the press”. SCOTUS can easily justify sweeping this under the rug with their favorite reason for abandoning their duties – protecting the legitimacy of the Court.
Well, if that’s the case, then we’re further down the slope than even many cynics are willing to consider. I think it possible, but I’d like to cling to a little hope of some legitimacy.
There are also the US Marshals or even the Supreme Court Police that might be called on. I know the Marshals are still in the DoJ, but not sure how much their institutional culture has decayed too.
I’m pretty sure at some point its the DOJ and, in this case, the DC federal courts that would have to convene a grand jury, issue subpoenas and indictments, etc. And ultimately a DC jury that would decide at trial.
Good luck with that.
Politico was sitting on thr draft for sometime.
It could be as late as this afternoon before the river of “It’s Time for Court Packing” articles starts flowing.
I hope they try it. And I hope McConnel is able to hold it up until the Court gets packed…by Republicans.
Agree totally that Roberts is a huge reason for this fuckery.
He has shown from the very beginning that he is a political creature first and foremost. It would be tempting to revel in watching him be savaged now because he tried so, so hard to stay in their good graces.
Any Ohio Glibs care to comment on the raft of assholes running for US Senate on today’s primary? I’ve heard people say bad things about Vance, and the childish spat between Gibbons and Mandel incline me against either of them.
I’m registered as an independent, so I don’t get a say in the primaries.
I’ve noticed no DeWine signs out the past couple of weeks, just Renacci and Blystone ones.
I thought any voter could show up at the polls and request either party’s ballot (or “issues only,” if applicable.) Did that change while I wasn’t paying attention?
I must admit I haven’t been following the race closely enough to make an informed decision, mainly because what I HAVE heard has turned me off the whole shitshow. Thus I’m sitting out this primary. We’ll have to have another one anyway, since they still haven’t sorted out the statehouse districts. ?
Draw the districts however you want.
What I want is that everyone gets to vote in their own district, PLUS they get to vote in one other House and one other Senate race.
So we can vote out AOC or Moobs or Pelosi or McConnell.
Basically every Congress person would want to keep as low a profile as possible.
I have toyed with a somewhat similar notion. Representatives should be elected locally, but assigned randomly to Congressional districts for representation purposes.
Suddenly, a campaign promise to loot the Treasury (for the benefit of other people) isn’t so shiny.
They already don’t represent the district residents, so that random distribution wouldn’t do a darn thing to their behaviour, just make them even less accountable. In fact, it wouldn’t even remove the incentive to buy votes from the district where they got elected.

Oh, come on. Just think how much fun it would be to have some guy from Backwater, Oklahoma with his muddy feet on AOC’s (or Pelosi’s) desk.
But it wouldn’t be their desk, it would be his desk, so you still haven’t gained anything.
“Twenty five million dollars for a dog park? Hell, just them them play in the back yard.”
You need to spend that money so people with dogs have another place they can take their pets to shit at without cleaning it up… making them dogs do their doo doot just on the streets or in the woods for others to step in is inhumane..
Leak confirmed: and investigation on the way..
Apparently not, John.
I wonder what authority the Marshal has. I suspect, outside the four walls of the Court, very little.
About what I expected at first. I’m glad they’re talking more about the integrity of the Court than the decision.
Problem is…from here on out is the final decision now tainted? If they lean on its a draft, we change our minds all the time! People will not believe that, even if true.
If they lean on its a draft, we change our minds all the time!
Except, the Justices vote first, and then opinions are assigned. Roberts flipping his vote on the ObamaCare case after they voted was a major departure.
“STATEMENT FROM SUPREME COURT
Yesterday, a news organization published a copy of a draft opinion in a pending case. Justices circulate draft opinions internally as a routine and essential part of the Court’s confidential deliberative work. Although the document described in yesterday’s reports is authentic, it does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts. Jr., provided the following statement:
To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.
We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce – permanent employees and law clerks alike – intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law. Court employees have an exemplary and important tradition of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process and upholding the trust of the Court. This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here.
I have directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak.”

Dang. There are a lot of broken people out there.
Yep. This inches us closer to national divorce.

Appeals to rape are usually done by people that know their legit arguments would disgust normals. Admitting you want to avoid the responsibility of making a bad sexual choice, especially in certain communities, and think it is better to punish the innocent over the adults that made the bad choice, isn’t gonna be to popular.
