LOL, I went over there to search on Bannon. Didn’t seem to turn anything up.

Also, ew, they changed their image for the sub to Charlie Kirk’s mug? I had already forgotten about that guy.

Is this why this fascist was talking about so many, including him, going to prison?

I just still don’t understand why the stupid mythology of “Republicans gud at 'conomy” continues to persist. It was stupid pre-Taco; it’s positively delusional after his first term.

Same goes for the dumb mythology of running the government like a business and putting a “businessman” in charge, LOL. Not that Pedonald really counts as a businessman, as low as a bar as that truly is…

I picture him snoring and sleep-farting through the entire thing…

Ugh, they apologized to this asshole.

Megyn Kelly would say she was “barely legal”.

Yah, but Biden had the worst economy ever, and Pedonald is just trying to dig out from all the terribleness.

🙄

It comes down to the mullahs who walk around enforcing rules arbitrarily like beard and pubic hair length.

Wait, is that last part for real?

Always knew this sanctimonious douchebag was a creep. Now it looks like he’s a criminal one.

Is anyone surprised?

There is also a kind of reverse virtue signaling to each other about how “edgy” they are when it comes to being steeped in/buying into what they think is insider knowledge…

For example, the ones that claim they are flat-earthers - I honestly think many of them might not really believe it, but use it as a way to play the kid skipping science class and smoking out behind the school, basically as a way to raise up their middle finger to annoy the people they think are just being schoolmarms: “you’re not going to tell ME what to believe, I did my own research!”

The reality is, anyone they think of as a schoolmarm (“normie”) just mostly would rather ignore these asshats, and just roll our eyes at their juvenile and backward ways. Sadly, what these idiots do in large groups ends up harming everyone - e.g., not vaccinating, being terrible at reasoning skills, basic numeracy and literacy, while at the same time being able to vote for the Republicans.

And this person has told me from the start years and years ago that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person’s view, was not a pedophile. This is this person’s view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realized this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I’m just giving you facts, that he wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.

15 years old is still illegal in most states (AFAIK), so not sure why she says “barely legal”. Also, of course there is a difference between 8 and 15, but trafficking in either is still creepy and disgusting as hell, and also both still very illegal. So I’m not sure why she’s even bringing it up.

She does later say:

Whatever. It’s sick. Every time we start talking about Epstein, it makes your skin crawl. You’re right. The whole thing is just disgusting.

Well, she has that right.

It’s like letting the mafia write their own rules for how they are to be treated.

Probably right to be cynical, given we’ve seen him stoke an insurrection in public, while plotting a coup at the same time, and he paid zero penalty for it.

Meanwhile, on this, we see Megyn Kelly starting to do that skeevy hairsplitting on what is technically pedophilia vs. abusing underage adolescents. I’m not really sure if GOP wants to really die on the “yeah, but the underage trafficking was for ephebophiles!” hill, but I guess we’ll see.

I don’t think anyone (at least not here and definitely not me) is yas queen’ing Hillary. I have a lot of reasons to fault her for a great many things, but when people were calling for their fainting couches because she spoke frankly about the Confederates, I just had to laugh. I grew up around a metric shit-ton of deplorables.

I mean, you still see so-called centrists and alleged leftists going hysterical over the term deplorables. Of course the wingnut snowflakes pretended to be so offended, too, just like when Obama made his “bitter clingers” comment. The way the usual suspects queened out over Obama’s statement was even funnier to me, since he was talking about the very state I grew up in and he was absolutely correct about that.

This is the same POS that told Bill Maher that trans was her #1 concern when it came to the election. I mean…what can you even do with that?

Yeah, it does get very ick when you start hearing people doing their “well, actually” thing when it comes to things like this. Even if they are supposedly clinically different things (?), it’s all still very manipulative and predatory. And for those that are underage, illegal.

Given how fast she now seems to be aging, she might catch up.

I thought she texted the “your mom” thing. Did she say it behind that podium, too?

Still, for all the hand-wringing from the bothsidering bullshit artists and the clutching of the Civility Pearls for her saying that - she was right.

Some companies cut employees as a basic threat and the implication is that others pick up the slack.
