Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Iman is probably referring to the Trump flag at Yankee stadium.; 9/8/23, 7:00 PM
Gusty Winds said...: Today or yesterday the Wisconsin Election Commission, Scott Walker's biggest mistake in reaction to the bullshit recall, made it easy to kick Trump and RFK Jr. off the 2024 ballot.

These six assholes get to single handedly decide who get on the ballot in Wisconsin. AND even though it is a "3-3" split between appointed Democrats and Republicans, you need four votes.

The measure was approved 5-1. There are two coward Rinos on the WEC. Only Bob Spinell isn't bought and paid for.

DNC is rigging the primary to block RFK Jr. Only thing that saves the Nation is and RFK Jr. 3rd party run (which the WEC can block) which would lead to a Trump election because it would nullify the voter fraud.; 9/8/23, 7:27 PM

Gusty Winds said...: They are graduating from voter fraud to "who can get on the ballot fraud". It's much easier to control.

Now, instead of creating, harvesting, and stuffing fraudulent ballots, they will just say your candidate isn't eligible for the ballot. Even if support and required signatures are gathered.

The upcoming planned use of the 14th amendment to restrict ballot access, which was passed in reaction to the Civil War "insurrection", will probably be successful. What the six member WEC in Wisconsin is doing, allows them to kick Trump and RFK Jr. off the 2024 Presidential Ballot, and anyone else they see fit. Five members are corrupt. One is honest.

Let's applaud all the college educated white women who really don't know this is the play, but support all this bullshit and the destruction of America...so they can get an abortion.; 9/8/23, 7:39 PM
Gusty Winds said...: If I walked into a tavern in Madison, WI and everyone sitting at the bar were college educated white women, instead of shooting the rail with a round of shots, I would throw down all the money in my wallet and announce, "shoot the rail with a free round of abortions and lifetime birth control for these bitches. On me!"; 9/8/23, 7:44 PM

Mark said...: The guy with a taser and stolen zip ties in the Capital on Jan 6 just got jail time.

Assume the righties here will conveniently ignore him.; 9/8/23, 8:22 PM
Chuck said...: Wisconsin Republicans begin to crack on the subject of impeaching the newly elected (by a substantial majority) state supreme court justice Janet Protasiewicz.

Ben Wikler puts it out on Xitter.; 9/8/23, 8:29 PM
Dave Begley said...: How did Hunter Biden graduate from Yale Law School?; 9/8/23, 8:34 PM
robother said...: Was on the phone today with a former partner who I consider a die-hard Democrat. He started the conversation with the statement "we can't have an election between Trump and Biden: both parties have to find someone younger." While his sentiments about Trump were no surprise, he wasn't sounding that negative about Biden 3 months ago when we last talked. Change indeed is in the air.; 9/8/23, 8:38 PM
Gusty Winds said...: God must have created Adam to be a working-class ditch digger. When God created Eve from Adam's rib, he gave her a college degree. Much like the Wizard gave the Scarecrow in place of a brain.

When the Devil thought, "which one can I tempt in snake form and separate from God..." he obviously decided on the Eve with the bullshit diploma and the nice tits. It's a great play. The arrogance of the empty credential already separates a person from God. Tower of Babel bullshit.

Snakes don't tempt Ditch diggers and Fishermen; they need to eat and feed their families. But nice tits, songs of sirens, and mermaids will make them abandon their maker and jump overboard...after they catch the fish and dig the ditch.

I'm not saying Adam was purer than Eve. We're all sinners. But goddamn. Sure, Abel might have lived if Eve would have taken Cain to a transgender drag show and had his penis cut off at the University of Wisconsin medical center. I get that. I'm not opposed to the influences of God given estrogen. I like my feminine side. But why do American liberal women want to let UW inject it synthetically into their sons? That's a GOD COMPLEX.

What mother says to a young son, "you might be happier if we have your penis cut off. I wish I could have your father's penis cut off too, even though I decided to fuck him, which brought you here>"

It's for CONTROL. It's the exact thing the snake promised when he chose to temp Eve. What we are seeing in America today, is Eve is more totalitarian than Adam. Ironically, eating from the tree of knowledge can make you really fucking stupid.

Sometimes I wish I was born gay. Like Adam, I'd have taken a bit of the apple too...

That's not sexist. It's self-aware.; 9/8/23, 9:09 PM
Mason G said...: Hims.com is a website including hair loss treatments for men. Forhers.com is a website including hair loss treatments for women.

Which one should a transwoman use? Why?; 9/8/23, 9:30 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: A note from Matt Taibbi:

“I recently received, for the first time, a questionnaire from an “anti-disinformation” firm that rates trustworthiness of media outlets as a commercial service. As Racket is not advertiser-supported, my initial instinct was to non-answer, but such services at least theoretically now have many ways to impact even a Substack business, whose newsletter format is designed to be resistant to such digital pressure.”

Long story short, Matt is thinking about expanding, because if he doesn’t, he might not make it.

The communications landscape is rapidly changing…. and it’s not for the better.; 9/8/23, 9:34 PM

NKP said...: Democrats play to win. Republicans play because they like being in the game.

For all his rhetoric about draining The Swamp, at crunch time, The Donald chose to 'play nice'(Sessions, Barr, Mattis, Milley, Esper,Fauci, etc.).

Trump needs to be liked (adored, perhaps) rather than obeyed or feared. I doubt he has a ruthless bone in his body. It's not enough.; 9/9/23, 12:02 AM
gadfly said...: Iman said...
The Democrats have proper rogered the US of A and change is in the air.

Iman: if you mean "fucked," say what you mean. And even if I am nice and substitute "completely screwed" for "proper rogered," the comment remains too vague to be useful.

But if the comment was more specific such as "The Zip-Tie Guy and his crazy Mom are going to prison," I could respond, "No mercy."; 9/9/23, 1:41 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: From my X : “The California Assembly just voted in favor of AB 957 which will require judges take into account whether a parent "affirms" a child's "gender identity or gender expression" in determining custody.”

“The Senate already approved it so it's heading to Gavin Newsom's desk.”

That triggered a response from some guy named Elon Musk, you might’ve heard of him: “This bill is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

What it would actually mean is that if you disagree with the other parent about sterilizing your child, you lose custody.

Utter madness!”

Would a parent who wants to get back at a strange partner, exploit this possible new avenue for revenge?

Utter madness indeed.; 9/9/23, 2:05 AM
wendybar said...: Because EVERY city and town in America deserve to live in shit filled streets, with zombie junkies living in squalor, and criminals running around knowing they can't be arrested as long as they don't steal more than $950. worth of merchandise. We all should live under San Francisco values. Me thinks, Nancy hasn't grifted enough and needs more insider trading to enrich her family for life.

Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery. Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote. -Nancy; 9/9/23, 4:58 AM

Shannon Brandt who murdered Cayler Ellingson for being a Republican was sentenced today to 5 years in prison.

Shannon reportedly told 911 that Cayler was part of a “Republican extremist group.”

Meanwhile Republicans are getting jailed for 17 years for tearing down a fence.

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of New York said...: A French war correspondent who saw what actually happened at Bucca made a documentary about it. Just like the massacre by the Right Sector at Maidan Square, which we still blame on the government we wanted ousted, to this day, despite tale of the evidence, we blame the wrong side.

wendybar said...: And yet, Mayor Adams and The Spew Crew (part of ABC news division) are mad that NYC is getting what they voted for. They don't want them in THEIR back yard, even though they voted for it. I say, send more buses.
Bombard them with what the border goes through every day. Hundreds of thousands SHOULD be sent to Rehoboth Beach and Bidens house in Delaware. Send hundreds of thousands more to DC.
They deserve to live with what they did.

"Early last month, a friend began sending me emails written by an agent who risks losing his job if his identity becomes public. But what this whistleblower sees every day is endangering the country he loves, and he has to speak out.
“If a terrorist crossed the border right now there is about zero percent chance of him getting caught. Most of the checkpoints are shut down again because there are no agents to run them, everyone is processing or ubering ‘asylum seekers’ around. The more we turn loose, the more show up … The whole situation is mind blowing.” "

Breezy said...: Orange County CA school district just voted to uphold parental rights over their children, thank goodness. Apparently hundreds of parents notified the Board that if they can’t trust the schools to be truthful with them, they will pull their children from the schools altogether. Well done, parents and school board! Hot Air has an excellent round up of the arguments.; 9/9/23, 5:53 AM

Okay president Mustard, you're surrounded. Do give us a list of your dismissed, in order of dismissal, and justifications you'd present to your congress.; 9/9/23, 6:43 AM

Keep trying. It's still the worse insurrection on record. How many people did he tase? How many people did he tie up.
Someday, Mark, you're going to made to live by the standards that you've set for everybody else.; 9/9/23, 10:06 AM
Narr said...: Kai Akker, I always assumed the duck site was just bait, a trawl for people and topics that can be manipulated by The Blob on a large scale regardless of your individual privacy (which you don't have online, at DDG or anywhere else, not really).

I used to think I was a cynic, but the last decade or so has blown that illusion to hell. I wasn't cynical enough by half.; 9/9/23, 10:16 AM
Jamie said...: The guy with a taser and stolen zip ties in the Capital on Jan 6 just got jail time.

THE guy. The ONE guy. "Armed" with a taser and zip ties.

Worst. Insurrection. Ever.; 9/9/23, 12:06 PM
Dr Weevil said...: Once again, 'tim in vermont' can't resist retailing the most blatantly fraudulent anti-Ukrainian propaganda. The Twitterer he links has "#StandWithRussia" right in his profile. And 'tim' doesn't notice that the propagandist he links can't even get the name of the "war correspondent" right: it's Adrien Bocquet, not Bock. Vatnik Soup had a thread about him in January (link). In short, Bocquet wasn't in Ukraine until after the massacres, speaks no Russian or Ukrainian, and hasn't shown anyone any of the "hundreds of videos of war crimes" he claims to possess. Replies on that thread show that he also lied about his military service in France, claiming to have been wounded as a commando when he was actually kicked out for being on sick leave all the time. And poor 'Tim' can't even get the location of the massacres right: it's Bucha, not 'Bucca', which is Latin for 'mouth, cheek'.; 9/9/23, 12:25 PM
Mason G said...: "Stolen zip ties"? Did he have over $950 worth? I'd guess not.; 9/9/23, 12:43 PM

NKP said...: President Mustard to BUMBLE BEE -

As President, I am the head of the Executive Branch and members of my cabinet and executive agencies serve at my pleasure.

Congress can huff and puff all they like. In fact, they can make my professional life more than a bit miserable. But they can't prevent me from firing a member of my administration.

And, should they be blissfully naive about powers vested in the Executive... let me count the ways, I could disadvantage their constituents and, perhaps, bring personal disgrace and ruin.

One does not have to resort to childish threats to accompliish an understanding but there must be an understanding.

Payback is a bitch; especially when it is overwhelmingly disproportionate.; 9/9/23, 4:37 PM
Kai Akker said...: I've used DuckDuckGo as my default search for years, Narr. I have never seen such a one-sided list of article links before. All Left. Not one thing from the center, much less the right. Not sure what gives but it sure ain't good.; 9/9/23, 6:36 PM
Michael K said...: Let's applaud all the college educated white women who really don't know this is the play, but support all this bullshit and the destruction of America...so they can get an abortion.

Most of the "educated white women" who support this nonsense are single and don't need an abortion because no man will fuck them.; 9/9/23, 8:23 PM
