Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

Drug experts contacted by NPR also questioned whether traffickers, who are driven by profit, would focus on kids.

They said selling fentanyl pills deliberately to children would be incredibly risky. The drug is potent and deadly, and the legal penalties for dealing drugs to kids are severe.

They also noted that selling to really young kids — who might be drawn to pills that look like candy or sidewalk chalk — would be bad for business.

Young children typically lack access to the kind of cash that makes for good repeat customers.

Shades of Unca Walt and his original plans for EPCOT.

[A] ll adults living in EPCOT would be employed, thereby preventing the formation of slums and ghettos. There would be no retirees—everyone would have been required to have a job. Residents would have been employed at the Magic Kingdom theme park, the city central core shopping areas, the hotel/convention center, the airport, the Welcome Center, or the industrial park. As the film states, “everyone living in EPCOT will have the responsibility to maintain this living blueprint of the future.”

There’s a facility that’s probably available down by Tucson. Bonus is we can lock him and all his buddies in there and never hear from them again.

Holy Shit!

Kanye West claims that Quentin Tarantino stole the plot of “Django” from one of his music videos.

And in the “both sides have good people” corner, we have…drum roll/goose step (your choice), please…'I Am Correct:’ School Board Candidate Doubles Down After Declaring ‘All Nazis Weren’t Bad’.

But, hey, he did get one thing right:

"I believe the majority of people that read this will understand that my words are an accurate representation of who I am,” Keefer said.

Yep. That they are, you fascist SOB.

Sigh Would a “nuanced” view of Nazis as a scary example of cultish groupthink be a good lesson for high school students? Sure, if carefully presented. But not like this, you dingus. You wiped out any opportunity to present that idea with your rambling nonsense.

Oh, now come on,

“To the Constituents of Zionsville Community Schools,” he posted. “A few days ago I made the comment ‘not all Nazis were bad’ in my response to a question posed to me on Facebook. I am correct.”

How fucking totally lacking in situational awareness can one person be?

How da fuck did NAZIS become the darlings of the right? Nazis, right here in America.

I guess all the Greatest Generation ™ are dead, or don’t vote.

Remember when Russia was “The Great Satan”? Not anymore.

I don’t think that Zion in Zionsville is at all related to Judaism. My tiny home town has a “Zion Lutheran Church” (along with two other Lutheran churches (splitter!), the Methodists and the Catholics), and the first person I met who I knew was Jewish was when I started working.

Zionist is Jewish, Zion in my experience is very much a conservative/evangelical word.

Not unlike the NAZIs, the American neo-conservatives (sometimes referred to here as the “White Wing”) seeks to have a nation full of people who thimk/act like them. Diversity is a double-plus-ungood thing, and people not like us must be severely marginalized until they become like us. Or be removed.

I lived through much of the Cold War and never recall hearing that term used for Russia (USSR). Or any other country, only to describe America (by the Iranian Revolutionaries).

Reagan did refer to them as The Evil Empire.

Sorry. Evil Empire.
Got Reagan confused with The Ayatollah.

Regan’s beard was better. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I never heard Nancy called that before.

I just vomited a little.

I can see the good side and the bad side

Stranger Things Halloween display shut down over concerns about “danger to children.”.
