Parents at school board meetings who dont want porn books made available to their 6th graders.

 

Well not burned really, but don't expect a useful idiot like Quack will be honest about that.

 

They're just not available to kids in schools like they used to be. You're perfectly free to go buy any of them on Amazon and other book sellers and give them to your kids if you so choose.

 

So yes, that's called book burning to leftists.

“ Physician” heal thyself. It’s an article explaining it. All it takes is the ability to read beyond the graph. Set the hysteria aside for a bit and learn something. 
 

The red and blue lines are clearly labeled. You are not very bright.
 

 

I wonder about a certain someone reading an EKG  what with all the bouncy lines and whatnot.

Back to the thread.

 

 

 

PEOPLE DON’T LIKE BEING CALLED GARBAGE AND THEY PROBABLY LIKE EVEN LESS BEING LIED TO ABOUT IT: 

 

Now You Can REALLY See How Badly Biden Screwed Kamala Over With His ‘Garbage’ Comment. 

 

When the Democrats sought to capitalize on a joke by a comedian at Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden, they really thought they had something that would halt his momentum. Given the variety of missteps Kamala Harris experienced over the past few weeks, I guess you can't blame them for trying.

 

And then Joe Biden happened. 

 

During a Zoom call on Tuesday evening, Joe Biden called Trump supporters "garbage."

 

The White House quickly jumped in to clean up the mess he made. And boy did he create a mess.

 

“Using Google Trends, we can see the interest in both stories over time. Google Trends numbers show search interest relative to the peak for a specific region and time. A score of 100 indicates peak popularity, 50 means half as popular, and 0 means there wasn’t enough data for the term. Here’s the Google Trends graph comparing searches for ‘Puerto Rico garbage’ and ‘Biden Trump supporters garbage.'”

 

 

Ouch. It's amazing to see how Biden's comments rapidly eclipsed Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico.

Shows just how efficient the right wing echo chamber is at spreading the message it wants. Honestly it’s been impressive for a long time (I remember noting this during the Reagan era) but between the cable networks(fox, Oan, etc), the article farms ( https://townhall.com/about ) and the foreign and useful idiots (Bboy & NC for example) and Ai bots online it’s impressive.

 

but still the pearl clutching by the right is the truly astounding, just like a bully, attract until you get a response then use that defense as a justification.

The graph was purposefully misleading re timeline.  Couldn't nail down the cause immediately. Sometimes I amended EKG readings after my initial dictation.  Sometimes I edit posts here.  Sometimes, I'm actually wrong.  But not this time.

I am here to help! Of course you are wrong but you’ve never been very good with numbers, charts, or maps. Who could forget your classic “I live in VA 4 hours south of Richmond”?  That was fun. Anyway if you go back to the chart that has confused you so, you will see that the red line is there and is flatlined for the first 18 hours. Mostly this is because President Brandon didn’t stutter about garbage until much later in the day on Oct 29. Now stick with me here…the reason it didn’t peak earlier is because A score of 100 indicates peak popularity, 50 means half as popular, and 0 means there wasn’t enough data for the term. You would know that had you chosen to inform yourself rather than get your undies bunched. 
 

Anyway, sorry for being long winded. Bottom line for the tl;dr folks - you are, in fact, very wrong. You’re welcome and have a nice day. Try to avoid numbers and data. They are not your friends.

LOLOL…yup, sooo true!! MAGA has fashioned quite the image of themselves as a bunch of manly men manlying around with their manly manliness, driven by some masculine ideal of purely rational thought. They perceive Harris voters, meanwhile, as overly emotional and irrational types, driven by this stereotypically feminine decision-making construct. And yet here we are…the “f*ck your feelings” crowd losing their collective sh!t over a singularly random comment from a senile lame duck president. Imagine that!!

 

The ”garbage” remark, however, was perfectly apt. Behind each MAGA’s veil of machismo lies a prisoner of their own combined low IQ and EQ…a Platonic ideal, if you will, of the “stupid a*shole.” Let’s delve a bit deeper into the dullardly mind of a MAGA, shall we? What specifically DEFINES these sh!thead simpletons? Here I shall emphasize PUBLIC POLICIES and not their personality peccadillos, as reflected from their Dear Leader/Boyfriend a.k.a. Donald Trump. I’ll only highlight a small handful of issues which I don’t think others here have already addressed:

 

1. Corporate oligarchy: MAGA dumb-dumbs like to think of themselves as heroic populists fighting some poorly defined “establishment,” and yet they have an equally poorly defined stance on Citizens United v. FEC (2010). They don’t seem all too perturbed that post-2016 Trump now embraces the concept of billionaires purchasing government power.

 

2. American imperialism: MAGA claims they are anti-war and against the MIC, but they also embraced various “might-makes-right” Trumpian foreign policies against not-white-enough peoples: thousands of Middle East drone strikes, keeping troops in Afghanistan, bombing Syria repeatedly, occupying countries over oil, provocatory assassinations of Iranian generals, organized coups in Venezuela, backing a Saudi-led Yemen genocide, etc… And what about reducing the bloated military budget?? Nope! “We need to maintain only the bestest, most tremendous military,” insist Trump and his acolytes.

 

3. Gaza: This issue is really just an extension of the broader American imperialism that MAGA idiots and Trump embrace. When you are a Judeo-Christian supremacist and an Islamophobe, Zionism is second nature to you. Apartheid practices, collective punishment war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide are all rationalized. The Leahy Laws are ignored. Illegally occupying Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and now southern Lebanon are all condoned. Trump’s contributions, ultimately, to October 7 are conveniently forgotten (exiting the JCPOA, moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, mediating the Abraham Accords, and recognizing the Golan Heights annexation).

 

4. Economic philosophy: MAGA morons, ever the champions for the working class, willfully choose to embrace the free market fundamentalism of their slightly more intelligent libertarian sociopathic comrades. My Gawd…we could write lengthy doctoral dissertations, right here in this forum, on all the foolishness which stems from their ridiculous oversimplifications of the highly complex field that is macroeconomics. But let’s note only the most recent example of their foolishness: their blind support of Trump’s high tariffs/zero income tax idea, which is straight out of the famously progressive utopian era that was America’s Gilded Age. Even if one were to explain the blatantly regressive nature of this plan to these Austrian school sycophants, they’d probably just shrug their shoulders and tell you, “Meh. Go, like, pick yourself up from your bootstraps. Or something.”

 

5. Health care: Is your family overwhelmed with medical debt? Are you dying from cancer because you can’t afford treatment? Stuck in a terrible job because you’re afraid to lose your health care plan? “Too bad,” says MAGA. “F*ck off and die.” We’re all still waiting on Trump’s amazing health care plan, by the way. LOL…

 

6. Abortion: Simply put, you are every bit a “garbage” human being if you are okay with women in certain states being legally forced to carry their rapist’s fetus to term. Moreover, you are not very smart if you don’t understand exactly how legal abortions well beyond the first trimester (i.e. keeping reproductive health decisions strictly between a mother and her health care professionals, not the government) are necessary for prioritizing a mother’s health, life, and general safety.

 

7. Transgender rights: People who can understand science can understand that the concept of gender identity is linked to the gender-determining morphology and function of the human brain. In the vast majority of humans, this particular gender identity marker also happens to match the sex determined by that person’s chromosomes and reproductive equipment. For MAGA, however, science is really really hard; bigotry and bullying, meanwhile, are super duper fun!

 

8. Anthropogenic global warming: El. Oh. El. For many people, middle school earth science was a trivial endeavor. For MAGA, both their cognitive limitations and their complete disregard for negative externalities invite a horrifying (yet admittedly highly entertaining!) array of delightfully grand conspiracies. Scientific conspiracies, evidently, fill the vacuum that is their pathetic scope of scientific understanding.

 

That’s all the morning polemicizing for now. Gotta get ready for work. Also, everyone please wish me luck on my Halloween party costume this weekend: Medusa, the tragic feminist martyr from Greek mythology (but the SEXY version…with a puffy long-sleeved bodycon dress, bedazzled with sequins and glitter and sh!t, while drenched in sundry floral aromas from Juicy Couture*). Woohoo! Enjoy the coming weekend, everyone! Yes, even all you MAGA dullards…you too! GO BILLS. CIRCLE. DEM. WAGONS. SQUISH. DEM. FISH.

 

*-yes, I’m well aware that Juicy Couture isn’t 100% cruelty-free. These perfumes were gifted to me. This addendum is directed at all the disputatious TBD PPP posters** who are always trying to spot my hypocrisies, but who always fail spectacularly in doing so.

**-namely, Leh-nerd Skin-erd.

Welcome back, Kay.  It's always nice to be involved in a conversation, even if only by asteriskical addendum. 

 

I had forgotten about the discussion on perfumes and complicity on hot button issues, that was quite some time ago.  I am pleased to see my comments landed, and that after all this time what I shared resonates enough to warrant a mention.  I think many people find they gain wisdom with experience,  and the ability to revisit that which they once knew to be true.  I can appreciate your steadfast denial of hypocrisy, what I've offered is in contrast with that which you may well value most--your integrity.  Still, the challenge and conflict between what you say and what you do is yours to carry, not mine.  I can only point out the obvious and hope that with the fullness of time, we both can grow.  Sounds like we're both on a journey here. 

 

On a positive note, I've gained wisdom as well.  Before today, I was unaware of the "I got a gift!" exemption to the liberal list of "Issues Important to Our Collective Survival".  I suppose when the seas rise to uncomfortable levels on the coast, those impacted can take solace in the fact that somewhere, there's a well-intentioned revolutionary who smells kinda nice, or drives a full-sized honkin' SUV she gifted herself for her 40th birthday.  

 

Now, on this costume.  I mean, sure, "...not 100% cruelty-free..." sounds an awful lot like 100% cruelty to whatever animals they test on, but let's move past that.  Halloween is a pretty darn important day in the grand scheme of things, so if you're going to bend some rules and a couple lab rats have to be blinded, this is the time to do it. 

 

I loved the story of Medusa as a child, and it sounds like you've put a lot of thought into it.  I wonder though, if the story was written today...would Ovid apply a different spin?  I'm thinking in 2024, the peril associated with Medusa was less about hair and snakes, more about sustained yammering about her hair and the products used to tame it?  Perhaps this time, the poet offers the valiant warriors the option of turning to stone not as a tragic fate, but as a reward for their bravery?   Admittedly this occurs to me because I woke up one night not long ago and my wife had the Housewives of Yammerville on the telly and they were round-tabling agitatedly over some slight or the other.  

 

Hope the party goes well!
