A not-inconsiderable number of the men in his audience–including, prominently, the CPAC host, Matt Schlapp–must have heard that as being more of a threat than a promise.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that if they’re uncloseted–but most of them are very firmly in there and unlikely to ever come out.)
I’m thinking of T-shirts. “Trump got me laid, and all I got was a lousy court order for child support!”
What’s that from? Swastikas combined with monorails says “alternate timeline future”, to me, and the image quality says “video game”?
Man…woman…penis…vagina…baby.
Trump is like some kind of genius.
Yeah, that image of the Volkshalle probably is from some game.
I think it’s from Man in the High Castle, isn’t it?
All he sees is his name on it. In his mind, admiring the building underneath is like admiring the toast the caviar is on.
My guess is Wolfenstein: The New Order.
Went to the website that showed in the mouseover, https://neverwasmag.com/ which concerns itself with alternate histories. Didn’t find that particular image but the same building shows in the image below, which is in fact, the illo for the How to Change WWII section and is credited to that game.
Remember when Republicans were pretending their hate campaign against trans people was all about protecting the sanctity of women’s sports?
A 5th grade girls’ basketball team in Alabama was told they would lose access to their practice facility unless they paid to play in a boys’ league. They did so, and then proceeded to win the league championship - then the league gave the trophy to the boys’ team that they defeated.
For a group of people so convinced that COVID is a myth, those 'pubbies sure are afraid of some cooties, aren’t they?
But they will know – forever – that they deserved it and the boys they defeated did not. I’d say the boys will, too but more likely they will handwave it away.
The guy who called for trans genocide on camera is demanding that the media apologize for accurately quoting him.
And smallpox.
At the expense of being called a nitpicker , I didn’t see Republicans mentioned in that story. Also all of the stories about it spring from one Facebook page, which makes me sad for journalism.
I said “Alabama”, didn’t I?
Apparently there has been an update on the story. Apparently they didn’t get a trophy because they weren’t officially part of the league, which speaks of terrible planning, instead of outright sexism if they’re to be believed.
They paid to play in the league.
This recalls to me a rec league situation my dad was in. Adult rec softball and the team his team was up against threatened to protest as one of my dad’s players was a 16 year old boy instead of an adult.
“Ok, let’s all go home” was dad’s response. I think he managed to get the other team to agree to accept the result of the game in exchange for actually playing a game that day.
In this case “Ok Girls, we’re having a pizza party!” would be an acceptable response. If they want to play a game, they accept the result of the game, otherwise they can take home their trophies for doing nothing, if that’s all they care about.
I had just come across an update on the story on another website.
Not women’s sports. Girls sports. It’s always about “men” competing with “girls”.
Based on the amendment it sounds like it was a bit more complicated.
The girls team was part of a competitive league (OTM) in which elite players are selected to form a team. Many of the players selected for this type of team go on to play in the NBA. However the way the local gym was set up in order to use the facilities you had be part of a recreational league, that accepts all comers and throws them randomly on to teams. In straight competitive play, any one of these OTM teams would absolutely dominate any of the rec teams. So what they usually do is have them play against teams that are two grades older (so 7th graders) but there no 7th grade Rec teams so instead they had them play against boys of the same age. But in any case this was an apples to oranges pairing, as if the University of Maryland woman’s team playing against the men’s pick-up teams at the local YMCA. So they said you can compete in the tournament if you want, but since your an odd mismatch with the rest of the teams you can’t win the trophy. The team agreed to those terms. It turns out that they did win but, as agreed at the outset, they didn’t get the trophy. No giant injustice.
Still, I expect these subtleties to be blurred in the “based on a true story” film Disney is undoubtedly going to put out in the next few years.
