Dirtbag congrescritter posted this. Came back a couple hours later and said he was “joking”. He needs to lose his seat.

@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
you are misunderstanding the battle space. It’s about Amy Coney Barrett and SCOTUS. They’ve already abandoned the original story, they’ve now advanced the narrative to cover the entire Catholic faith/church.

Only a few have abandoned it. There are still a ton of the lunatics, including those in the media calling for the kids heads. They are the left, they are capable of doing multiple things simultaneously. And lying about all of it.
Welp, here we go, self-described genius Adam Schiff says he and his colleagues are going to investigate all of the (already proven false) accusations in the Buzzfeed article. He “feels” that the article is true.
Orwell addressed “face crimes” in 1984. It’s where your face holds a “politically incorrect expression”. More and more every day. Orwell was a prophet.

Kathy Griffin has a tweet demanding all the names and info on the kids. Thought doxxing was against the Twitter TOS. Why hasn’t her account been shut down? /s
Some asshat director that works for Disney actually put out a tweet demanding the kids be killed. “Feed the MAGA hatted teens into the woodchipper!” His account has not been closed and he has not lost his job.
As I mentioned earlier (Ex? Current?) CNN reporter and admitted cannibal threatened violence against teen. Account on Twitter still open.

Asshat Disney director. Tried to memory hole his tweet.
Jake Tapper deleted earlier tweet and posted new one showing that he supports the kids. lol.
Someone on the conservative side is gathering an archive of all the tweets from celebrities, politicians, and the press and turning them over to the lawyer, but I can’t recall her name.

All this took place in the context of a long, poisonous tirade directed at the the students by a group of black nationalists. Anyway, if not a hoax, this at the very least was not what it initially seemed. I deleted my original tweet and we also took down a strongly worded post by my colleague Nick Frankovich that relied on the incomplete video. It’s another reminder — even for an old hand like me — that it’s best not to make snap judgments and to wait for all sides of a controversy to have a chance to be heard.
That’s the extent of Lowry’s apology. But I want you to look at the entire piece at the link and see what follows his mea culpa. A complete subject change.

I stayed up to watch the SNL season opener last night. The only thing that was funny was that I actually stayed up to watch it.
There is a surgeon in Mt Sinai NYC, Sujana Chandrasekhar, ear & lateral skull base surgeon. She is also, apparently, the President of The American Academy of Otolaryngology.
She tweeted this:
These are scary faces indeed. #CovingtonShame 1. Stop tax breaks for ‘religious’ establishments 2. Massive re-education is needed for these children, their families and their communities 3. I hope they don’t get to use their #whiteprivilege (except 23) like #Kavanaugh did
She’s deleted the tweet and posted ‘Uncle’, but people have archived it, reported her to the medical boards and are in the process of, um, re-educating her
https://twitter.com/HarmlessYardDog/status/1087157798734049282
And no, I don’t know what ’23’ on the white privilege score card is.

Yeah, I’m fed up. These people need ruined. They need to taste some of the pain and misery they are so gleefully handing out to others. They need to learn there are consequences for acting like an out of control lunatic.
I’m in a really pissy mood right now. Woke up to find out that some muslim dirtbag in North Carolina tried to buy over 400 dollars in nursing books on my Barnes and Noble account. Luckily it was an expired card from 2015. But, for some reason USAA let the charges go through and then reversed them. I have a pain in the ass time buying things for my self but some damn Sajied Malik is able to buy things just fine? Even though it was instantly reversed it just has me so damn angry.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
you had an identity theft issue awhile back didn’t you?
Well, if there are nursing schools in NC, ‘ask around’ for someone by that name and do a little exposure of your own. Altho I know your name and I find it pretty funny that someone of that ethnicity would try to use it.
eaglesoars wrote:
Yeah, found out my info was in over 50 data breaches over the last year. The piece of crap didn’t even try to use my name. He just logged in to my account, ordered two expensive books and tried to have them shipped to him.
I changed my password but Barnes and Noble doesn’t have two factor authentication. I think any company that doesn’t offer that in this day and age is being negligent.
Stress headache, going to lie down for a while.
It’s a re-post, but in 10 minutes Jordan Peterson explains why ‘white privilege’ isn’t real. He deconstructs the logical framework. The whole notion of ‘intersectionality’ is really about individual differences (which are numberless). To cherry pick gender, race, religion is a choice. You could use weight, height, income, IQ, skills in any area, sports played, etc. He rips apart the logic in 10 minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEESNpAu1EU
Peterson has a horror of totalitarianism. One of the reasons he’s unique is the scope of his knowledge and how he leads the audience to a place of reason and ultimately tolerance. He is ‘waking’ people one by one. That is the ONLY way to separate people from the mass leftist indoctrination and lead them back to individualism.

As long as I’m talking to myself, Peterson will be speaking to 5,000
people in London. People are STARVING for the truth. They don’t know why they are living in an upside down reality. He RESPECTS the intelligence of his listeners.
I am reminded of a quote from W.H. Auden. He was a Poet Laureate of England. How civilized. “We must love one another. Or die.”

Viral libel creates an inverse mass tort opportunity: one plaintiff, hundreds or thousands of defendants on the hook for serious damages.

CJ Pearson has received over 6000 submissions of people pushing the false narrative on Covington. Most of these are “blue checks” on Twitter. Many many people opened themselves up to lawsuits by opening their mouths trying to destroy conservatives.

Phillips is a provable liar as well as being an activist progressive. But I repeat myself!

He is reported as being 64 and is supposed to be a Vietnam vet.
I say Bullshit to that lie. He would have had to be only 19 years old in 1975 when the war ended.
Further he spouts yet another obvious lie. Phillips claims to be a Marine Corps Recon Ranger.
Seriously? You’re a moron as well as being a liar mate. Rangers including recon Rangers are …. ARMY …. NOT Marines.
Trapped in your own ignorant lie Mr Phillips.
Crawl hay to your reservation casino and get your bloody story right before you make another fall of yourself!
Sheesh! The Progressive left can’t even get their LIES right to make then at least sound convincing.

Hey there! I hear your end of the world has been dealing with a serious heat wave. Send some our way, please, it’s a lousy 12 degrees here and the dogs won’t go outside.
Yeah, Phillips (aka “Red Cloud”) is also involved with AIM, a criminal org if there ever was one. He’s going to turn out to be a bit player in all this, collateral damage at most. Supposedly he’s 2 yrs younger than I am. That’s some damn good fire water he’s been enjoying to look that crappy. He looks like he’s 80.
The real target now is the media. They’re scrambling because the lawsuits are coming. Sullivan (the case that leaves ‘famous’ people open to libel w/o retribution) doesn’t apply here and making violent threats is actionable.

Same. Not sure what the scam is here. Not saying that someone in a nice house couldn’t have ordered, but that part doesn’t feel right either. The whole thing is fishy. Just glad Barnes and Noble cancelled it and reversed the charges instantly. Though, I’m also still confused as to why USAA even let it go into the system since it was run on a card that expired 4 years ago.

A copy/paste from Reddit. Just a few of the disgusting scumbags that need to be sued for all that they can be.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
Let’s not forget the deepest pocket of all. Twitter. They’ve explicitly and repeatedly provided a platform for some of these people AFTER being notified that their TOS were being violated. They’ve refused to shut the accounts after admitting they’ve reviewed the complaints and will do nothing.

The Bondi Beach ice cream vendors are doing a roaring trade as are the suncream purveyors. LOTS of people getting sunburn in Sydney where the temperature goes from 40+C one day to 28C the following day and then bounces back up again.

The problem with these evil bastards are they are still following the standards of “truthiness” established by Colbert. As long as it feels true it is true so they can continue acting as if it’s true. They need to realize that under this President, that doesn’t fly anymore. The time of “feelings” ended with Obummmer. We now live in the time of facts, and the days of the press making up their own facts unchallenged is ending.

Barnes told PJ Media that he was working with the families to sue the media outlets that defamed them.
He said that “anyone who doesn’t correct and retract” their false smears would be subject to a lawsuit and that updated stories merely indicating “a more complex picture has emerged” would not necessarily be enough.
When asked if such stories would count as a retraction, he replied that it “depends.”

Some asshole broke in to our old house some time since Mrs MF was here yesterday. They kicked the back door in, bent the deadbolt, and scattered bits of trim all the way down the steps. Fortunately there’s nothing here really worth taking. The alarm was on, but apparently our alarm company decided to shut our service off since we were up at the new address. We’re going to have a little talk with them tomorrow since we never told him this and the service.
@ eaglesoars:
I’ve seen 80 and 120mg OxyContin on the street.
Just one tablet can OD somebody with no tolerance.
I will absolutely go to the mat for any MD that wants to prescribe opiates for pain relief, but there were serious distribution and control flaws with that drug. It FLOODED the black market.
Dilaudid has been on the market for years, yet was very hard to get your hands on if not prescribed it.
Something happened. Something happened with OxyContin. IMHO.
