To continue this tangent, the day I finally accepted the truth of Rule 34 was the day someone pointed me to a site featuring drawings of dragons having sex with motor vehicles. Once you’ve seen that, you understand that there is no scenario so weird that someone 1) isn’t turned on by it and 2) hasn’t posted about it on the internet. And no, I’m not linking to it. > [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Trump’s South Dakota campaign manager, a state legislator, freaked out when he found Muslims daring, _daring_, to attend an interfaith prayer session at the state capitol. > [Trump-backing lawmaker freaks out after seeing Muslims at interfaith event at South Dakota capitol](https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/trump-backing-lawmaker-freaks-out-after-seeing-muslims-at-interfaith-event-at-south-dakota-capitol/) That was certainly a very… _special_… moment for the senator. “You can tell these people are all terrorists who want to murder the President because why else would they come to an interfaith session to pray for peace and tolerance?” ---

I wonder if the board members here that are in that age range have a hard time not spouting off offensive, racist comments in meetings with peers? Can you imaging what Pesident Shithole says when he is surrounded by friends? Now, I know he doesn’t have any friends so maybe just picture a conversation he has with his two older shithole sons.

Must be terrifying to hear. I’m 70 and still working (till the end of May). If I were to say anything half so offensive in a meeting I’d be out in the lobby waiting for someone to deliver my personal effects. But then — as the foregoing suggests — I’m held responsible for my actions at work. And it’s pretty [expletive deleted] obvious that the OFSG has never been held responsible (let alone accepted responsibility) for anything in his miserable, platinum-spooned life. ---
