Honestly, I’d rather she (erroneously) thought I was a sexual predator than voted for a fascist. I’d rather be wrongly imagined as guilty of all manner of sins than see anyone vote for a fascist. ---

> [@Mighty\_Mouse](#): > > It never applies to your brother, father or son. Their accusers are lying hussies. Or a variation of this theme … Powerful people first seek to be powerful and then succeed at it. One of the side effects / perks of being the sort who seeks & succeeds at that is being able to take a predatory attitude to women. And at least until very recently, be 100% assured of getting away with that. (Nowadays the number is less than 100%, but still pretty high I suspect.) So when @ASL_v2.0’s sister said “all men do it”, I suspect she unconsciously meant “all men [who are celebrities, rich, or politicians] do it.” As such, it can’t possibly be a differentiator between male politician A and male politician B. They both can be assumed to do it, even if only one has gotten caught. So far. Which still doesn’t explain Sis’s choice of male politician t over female politician H. But does lessen the implicit insult she aimed at her brother. [aside] TIL that an easy typo for “insult” is “inslut”. Which word fit both well and badly at the same time into the paragraph above. 😉 ---

> [@John\_Bredin](#): > > They’ve been talking – hell, literally _singing_ (see: country & western music) – for decades that they are the Real Americans and urban, or college-educated, or white-collar, or non-church-going people aren’t real Americans, no matter how much income tax they pay, how often they stand for the National Anthem at ballgames, or how many in past wars fought & died in the military. The slogan for NewsMax is literally “Real News for Real People.” Very chilling. ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > The slogan for NewsMax is literally “Real News for Real People.” Very chilling. A hallmark of fascism is the declaration that only SOME humans are real, fully human, or indeed People. The rest are the rightful slaves/servants/prey of the Real people. On the raw milk thing: one thing I seldom hear from the media, in its last weeks of semi-freedom, is the likelihood of mass food-borne illness in our near future. Of course there will be no actual journalism going on in the brave new world, so we’ll know about it only by word of mouth. But we’re obviously going back to pre-FDA levels of salmonella and other contaminations, because it’s just _ **so much cheaper** _ to produce food without all those onerous regulations!!! With no reliable news media, of course, we won’t hear about the waves of sickness and deaths. So, buy stock in: - the death industry–funeral homes, coffin production, etc., and in - import businesses: bringing safe products over from the still-regulated countries for the consumption of the rich and powerful is going to be _huge_. ---

I’ve seen graphics showing the “Trump Iron Lung,” but at the moment don’t see one to link other than some on X (which I prefer not to link to). Needless to say the iron lungs are usually depicted as being gold-toned and decorated with US flags. One even had a red underside, to match the infamous Trump sneakers. I wouldn’t even put it past Trump to sell them. I mean, the graphics didn’t look over-blown in comparison to actual ads for his actual products. ---

I really don’t see why people are complaining in this story. I mean, surely they’ve read and understand the book that’s been banned in this school district, right? /s > **[Bible banned in Texas schools over 'sexually explicit material'](https://www.newsweek.com/bible-banned-texas-schools-over-sexually-explicit-material-2004170)** > > The ban was justified by Texas House Bill 900, a Republican backed piece of legislation which restricts libraries from holding sexually explicit books. ---

A guy who works with my daughter in Baltimore was complaining that the Republicans stripped out federal funding to fix that bridge. Of course, he’s a Trump voter, but never thought they’d eat his face! “But, my commute is so much longer now!” ---
