Omnibus Evil MFers in the news thread

From what I can tell, she had the largest percentage in the primary leading into the runoff.

Bexar County Sheriff’s Deputy Johnny Garcia and housing activist Maureen Galindo are competing in the May 26 Democratic primary runoff after neither candidate won a majority in the March primary. Galindo finished first with 29.2% of the vote, while Garcia followed with 27.02%.

So maybe that’s what he’s referring to. That doesn’t mean she’s ahead in the runoff, but it’s accurate to say she was ahead before at least.

Not that I want to defend Zee Shitstorm. He’s the oldest member of my ignore list for a reason. But it’s not like there is no basis for a claim of her being ahead in the polls at some point, at least.

(As far as I can tell, this public wacky BS came out after the initial primary race, so I wouldn’t be shocked if she’s now really far behind in the runoff.)

I’m a lot more interested in the idea of the RW bastards paying to run wacky can’t-win shills in lotsa D primaries than I am the specifics of whether and when Galindo was ahead of Garcia or vice versa. And whether shitstorm was accurately relaying responsible reporting or was just making shit up.

This was the link from ZS’s original post. I’m pretty sure he didn’t read far enough to notice that the GOP is funding her, thus undercutting his “Democrats are antisemitic” line of attack. And yes, it seems pretty clear that he was conveniently overlooking the fact that her craziness hadn’t been fully exposed at the time of the first election.

It’s too bad Galindo’s running in the 35th district and not in the 23d.

A Galindo-Herrera contest would be wild.

Meanwhile, in the “it’s NEVER the drag queens” file, the former head of “gay conversion” enterprise Exodus International has been arrested for trying to hook up with a 14-year-old boy on Snapchat.

Channel 9 reported in 2013 that Chambers apologized to the LGBTQ community and announced Exodus International would shut down.

At the time, Chambers said he was sorry for the pain the organization had caused and acknowledged that he had masked his own attraction to men.

And how many of the people he “converted” will go on to abuse people to “mask their attraction”?

I personally didn’t care that the guy was/is gay. When it gets into the nonconsensual territory, that’s another story.

WA police officer assaults his girlfriend after she finds his secret hard drive, she calls the cops, they find at least 1,000 CSAM photos on the drive.

The best and the brightest.

Who is “Zoster Sandstorm”? That sounds like a name out of the Hunger Games.

Palantir CEO says it would be good for business if they were allowed to do war crimes.

An annoying RW (or maybe old school big-L Libertarian; it’s hard to tell) but definitely trollish Doper uses that name but with no spaces in it.

Google suggests it’s their own coinage, not a name they copied from some media property.

“Zoster” is also known as “Shingles”.

The name combines two horrible nuisances together. It’s like it was created to be a troll.

OK, I used the search function, and it appears that ZS and I don’t post on the same boards. I had never heard of this person.

I thought maybe it was some kind of nickname for a public figure, a la calling the “POTUS” names like Donnie Two Dolls.

…you post on this board, don’t you?

OK, forums. Boards within boards. Whatever.

Smapti is pointing out that he’s a member of this board, the Straight Dope.

The Utah woman who murdered her husband by spiking his drink with a lethal dose of fentanyl, then wrote a best-selling children’s book about how she and her kids coped with his loss, has been sentenced to life in prison.

I thought the book was ghostwritten.

Once she’s in the slammer she may experience regret for the first time in her life.


The lede pic in the article (the one visible in the preview) was obviously cherry-picked a bit from whatever shots were taken. But it’s a great one.

Here’s the detached, semi-bored, but fully attentive woman defense attorney thinking idly of going to lunch soon. And the woman defendant whose face betrays her totally psychopathic mind. And her calm rejection of the reality that she’s being / been sentenced to die in prison some 30-40 years hence.

There’s no mistaking who is who even if you know nothing else about them. Well done Mr/Ms photographer person!
