A nearby saloon/kitchen is holding "Hetero Awesomeness Month". The result?

Since we announced Hetero Awesomeness Month we’ve had some significant backlash: theft of our property, vendors refusing to fulfill our orders for ingredients, wedding catering cancelation, libel, slander - even the owner being falsely accused of being a sex offender!

Stay inclusive!

Stge 4 TDS-afflicted Rich, Chuck, Mark, Cook, Inga and Feder will not read this article by J. Turley, but it lays out the case for reversal in the "hush money" case very well:

There's so much obvious reversable error, ANYONE holding himself/herself out as a lawyer yet thinks this case was NOT an actual "show trial" designed to interfere with the 2024 elections is utterly dishonest.

Social conservatives. Remember, sodomy, pedophilia, sadomasochism, human rites, social liberalism, etc were once celebrated with pride in parades until demos-cracy protested then rebelled to mitigate their progress. Everything old is new again. Although, the overt albinophobia is a novel, perhaps green deal.

A question is, why is Joe Beiden not a felon? Because the DOJ has determined that he committed the felonies of illegal document possession outside of authority but is such a stupid old dumb fu*k that no jury would convict him.

Why is Hillary! Not a felon? Because Comey went on tv and said she didn’t mean to break the law, she just broke it anyway.

Are you interested in justice, America? Tough shit.

In 2015, Clear Channel partnered with the city of San Francisco to install 3,600 Muni bus stop signs. In 2018, 22 were operational. As of today, 300 have been installed. The transit agency blames the pandemic for the delay, and Clear Channel is no longer involved in the project. $2.5 million is needed to complete the project and the money is going to come via funds from Proposition AA, the measure which added $10 to yearly vehicle registration fees.

Government- is there anything it can't do?

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

The multi-faceted efforts that led to the conviction of Donald Trump, proves to me, that people don't necessarily have to conspire, to reach an outcome they desire, but for the execution of extraordinary means, by likeminded people acting independently, anything is possible.

It runs the gamut. From convicting Trump all the way up to stealing his re-election.

The only thing uniting them in their zeal, is a genuine (but erroneous) belief that Trump is the existential threat, worse than anything made by man, that could destroy all human life. A lot of people (smart and not so smart) have sadly been thoroughly propagandized to hate one man for no reason.

BTW: I only found out that the judge had donated $ to an anti-Trump cause after the trial. The anti-Trump propaganda is extraordinary in breath and scope.

DOJ Says Epoch Times Newspaper Is an Epic Money-Laundering Operation

"On Monday, federal prosecutors in New York charged the Epoch Times’ chief financial officer, Bill Guan, with bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering for allegedly moving at least $67 million in illegally obtained funds to bank accounts in the media outlet’s name. According to the indictment, Guan was in charge of something (rather suspiciously) called the “Make Money Online” team, in which Guan and underlings “used cryptocurrency to knowingly purchase tens of millions of dollars in crime proceeds.” The alleged scheme was fairly simple, relying on prepaid debit cards, a common method in crypto laundering."

Donald Trump, the king of money laundering, could now take over the Bill Guan crypto ripoff scheme, using "Invest in Trump Truth Social."

A Man for All Seasons Quote

“William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”

Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”

William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”

Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!”

Could Trump sue Juan Merchan for violating his civil rights?

I can hear it now: A Judge has immunity; you can't sue a judge. 😏

Kasparov resigns from Aspen Institute after comparing it to the USSR's information control techniques

On April 22, 2021, the Aspen Institute — an influential civil society group that draws funding from several federal agencies and in recent years has become an odd hodge-podge of boutique-left ideas and hardcore security-state rhetoric — announced that a “Commission on Information Disorder” would be preparing a major report, one that: Aims to identify and prioritize the most critical sources and causes of information disorder and deliver a set of short-term actions and longer-term goals to help government, the private sector, and civil society respond to this modern-day crisis of faith in key institutions.

Nothing here about this knowledge permeating our information space being, you know, false. It's just causing the people who are trying to clamp down on us, agita. Covid (US govt program), endless wars, utter perversion of the rule of law, oh yeah, and the tumblers for unlocking WW3 are falling into place at a quickening pace. US military exercises on islands within. sight of Taiwan, US special forces actually in Taiwan, US made missiles being used to attack Russia proper. At some point the fiction that we aren't part of this war over who gets to rule over parts of Ukraine that have been fighting against being ruled over by Kiev for ten years is going to be hard to sell.

It's funny that we fully support secession in Taiwan, and at the same time say it's worth it to risk WW3 over denying the right of parts of Ukraine to secede. Oh yeah, and we were fine with breaking off Kosovo too, which gives the lie to that trop about borders in Europe since WWII have been sacrosanct. It's almost as if our ethics were... situational. I'm sorry, is that an insult to the stately orderliness of the lies they have spun? The US hasn't staked its credibility on this war in Ukraine, the neocons have, and even Kasparov has had enough of their lies.

You know what would be a good way to restore faith? Start acting in ways that inspire faith and trust....

Naaah!

@DavidSacks
THE BUSINESS RECORDS DOUBLE STANDARD

In 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was fined $8,000 for violating federal campaign finance laws. Why? Her team falsely reported the funding of the Steele Dossier as “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting.”

Actually this “opposition research” was an attempt to smear her opponent with false and salacious allegations. Obviously, it was also intended to influence the 2016 election.

Moreover, Hillary’s campaign was headquartered in New York State (out of Brooklyn, NY), which would make it fall under the jurisdiction of New York Penal Law §175.10, the state law which makes it a felony to falsify business records with the intent to conceal the commission of a crime.

What is the key distinction between Hillary’s campaign violation versus recent news?

With Hillary’s violation, there wasn’t a Manhattan prosecutor politically motivated to bring an unprecedented case to trial.

"In addition to those very practical, existentially threatening concerns, participation in events like the WeHo Pride parade clearly violate Hatch Act provisions. It’s beyond question that LGBTQ+ is not just a social movement, but a very loud and organized political movement, supported most directly by Democrat party interests, and advocated for by some of the most prominent national Democrat party leaders. The Hatch Act prohibits FBI agents from “using their official titles or positions while engaged in political activity,” and/or engaging in political activity “while the employee is on duty…”

"So, the question is: Where is the outrage? Where are the widespread accusations of homophobia and transphobia against the pro-Hamas activists? After all, couldn’t they have just held their anti-Israel demonstration on a different day or perhaps in a different part of the city?

According to the precepts of progressivism, if one does anything to offend the LGBTQ community, the punishment is supposed to be widespread condemnation as a bigot – even if the target doesn’t actually hate members of the alphabet community. Under these guidelines, the actions of the pro-Hamas activists are clearly rooted in anti-LGBTQ bigotry."

My favorite Covid rule was when WalMart installed one-way arrows on the floors of their grocery aisles. I would deliberately go down the aisles backwards just aggravate as many Karens as I could.

There were unconfirmed reports the 6 foot distance rule was originally to be 10 foot, but the CDC realized the American public would stand for that and made it 6 foot. Either way, it was all a fairy tale.

Trump is an anti-establishment politician whose rhetoric of grievance and bigotry has resonated so well with his anti-establishment following he has become a cult of personality. It's a co-dependent relationship where neither facts, criminality, policy, nor the economy have much relevance.

What Trump does is good, what his opponents and critics do is bad. This is echoed by Fox News and various whacko websites like Epoch Times in increasingly creative and nefarious ways.

None of Trump's supporters really care what his program for a second term would be, nor are they concerned with facts, including that Trump is a serious criminal and threat to American democracy. And when the establishment indicts him and convicts him and criticizes him, they rally to his support. Clearly they see a bit of themselves in him, despite the material differences. Both want revenge and defeat of the establishment. Trump needs their votes and money to stay out of prison, while they need Trump to destroy the establishment.

wendybar said...

The problem for Trump is that revolutions, which is what he is perhaps unwittingly in the process of trying to make, have a habit of eating their own. Chaos does not always stop once you are at the top.

Guess what, Rich. We live in a democracy, and when the priorities of the government in place harm the interests of large swaths of the populace, they vote a different way. It's not "revolution" or an "overthrow of democracy," it's how democracy works. Just because you have defined your opponents as somehow beneath the right to vote for their interests, doesn't make those people being harmed by Biden's policies go away.
