@bi4smooth

Are you still trying to convince anyone that you are a conservative?

Wait? Isn't this a trans-phobia issue, too?

@bi4smooth

Your extreme TDS is showing.

The "in Chicago" part might have been a misstatement, but Joy "I was hacked" Reid, The Root, Slate and Salon said he killed 3 black men, so we know where you got that part.

@Kekkaishi Another thing: Elon Musk was a Green-liberal darling - Pete Buttigieg almost saying "Let them buy Teslas" just a few weeks back, remember? ....... until EM came out in favor of free speech. Oops!

Kudos, all posts above. After hearing the sad news, I came across a 2016 YouTube video -- a roast of George Takei with Gilbert at the podium.

For those who knew Gottfried from late-night network TV stand-ups, be advised that his comedy club performances were shockingly and delightfully vulgar, completely devoid of political correctness. In this clip, he uses the "F" gay slur with gusto and assurance, because the crowd knows he is playing against those tropes, and that he's a friend to the end.

Respect and giggles, Mr. Gottfried.

@raphjd They could argue that since President Biden get's his nappies and baby food provided... that inmates are also entitled to nappies and baby food.

There is no end to the ways stupid people can twist their religion to suit their own un-holy purposes!

@hubrys

I'm on Twitter and to be honest, I haven't seen many but maybe that's due to who I follow.

I have seen that the ones on the right have no power compared to the ones on the left.

There's always chemical cremation - although 30 States outlaw its use on human remains.

When I die, I want my kids to just weigh down the carcass and drop me in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico! That way, every trip to the beach is a visit to my grave! LOL

Oh, and the fish will get a smorgasbord that will last for days, if not weeks! 🙂

@lololulu19 said in IRS Gave Stimulus Money to Dead People, Even After Error Was Identified: Audit:

Hey... if dead people can vote (for democrats), then they are also entitled to stimulus money!
If one did not have to be 18 years old to vote, the democrats would win every election by having the average million healthy babies aborted every year being able to vote.

400-million dead people voted for Joe Biden! That's the ONLY way he could have won!

Just ask the Trumpites in Ohio - who are still complaining (falsely) that Donald Trump received more votes than there are registered voters in the entire State! (That's a great trick!)

I still say that the #1 reason Trump was so easily goaded into thinking that the Dems MUST have cheated is because he knew that he had cheated and so it made sense that the only way he could have lost to Biden would have been if they'd cheated even more than he had! (Looked at from that perspective, he's not quite as loony... loony as a bat, still... but not quite as loony as a toon!)

@raphjd said in CIA Officer Who Signed Hunter Biden Laptop Letter Claims Credit for Trump Loss:

Jeeez... give it a rest!

First of all, the I know a guy (a Republican) who claims to have voted twice in the 2020 election, and says HE's the reason Trump won Florida!

And I personally will claim credit for tomorrow's sunrise in Antarctica!

Let's work with some actual facts here:

The seized laptop still hasn't been confirmed as belonging to Hunter Biden The Justice Dept has been unusually tight-lipped (there are usually leaks) about the whole Hunter Biden investigation, but Daddy Biden LEFT the prosecutor (in Delaware) in place (a Trump appointment) Remember: new Presidents from opposite parties usually fire the Federal Prosecutors (DAs) and replace them with their own... it's common practice: Trump did it, Biden did it.... except he left the prosecutor in Delaware in place -- "to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest" (something career politicians are used to, but Trump never worried about) There HAS been a lot of activity in the Justice Dept with regards to the case(s) against Hunter Biden lately... there is speculation that the investigation is winding down - he'll either be cleared (a Dem wet dream) or charged with something (given what he was up to, this is more likely) There has been ZERO indication - from any source - that Joe Biden has been involved in any of Hunter's business dealings Hunter may be clean or dirty - either way doesn't mean his dad is either clean or dirty. The same can be said of the Trumps... If daddy gets prosecuted for the Jan 6 coup attempt, that doesn't mean Ivanka is guilty of anything... although the more appropriate analogy would be Baron Trump - after all, he's a completely non-political son of the (past) President.... the same as Hunter Biden.

IMHO: Is Hunter dirty? Likely yes - ironically in many of the same ways Donald Trump is dirty... backroom dealings, payoffs, and "dirty deals" to make money. Will either one be convicted of these "white collar" crimes? unlikely... expensive lawyers usually find a way out....

It is one thing to harass and belittle people who are overweight... that's just shitty behavior...

It is another ignore the negative health effects of obesity.

It is important to your own mental health to develop a positive self-image - whether you're under-, over-, or "prefect"-weight...

It is equally important to understand that sometimes we need to change our behaviors and habits due to health concerns.

Not quite apples-to-apples, but I was just recently warned by my Dr to drastically reduce my caffeine intake - as it's affecting my heart rhythm! I don't want to die, so I'm doing just that - and it's very difficult! I love my coffee, and I get rather irritable without it... but I'd rather be irritable than dead, so I muddle through it...

I am sorry this woman has passed at such a young age. I appreciate her devotion to maintaining a positive self-image in spite of her weight (and sharing that with others)... but I am also sorry she wasn't able to do enough health-wise to prevent this tragic ending.

I looked at the post on twitter - saw no flag.

The pic is legit: it's from Ukraine

The pic is not timely - it was taken ca 2016 as part of the Crimea crisis of those times...

I suspect an apology may come from Kinzinger's office soon - like most other politicians, his twitter account is "administered" by staff, and not himself personally. (Same was true of Trump - and I defended him when Dems tried to make hay out of his tweets, although you could tell that Trump himself did write some of his own tweets - mostly the ones with speeling, grammur, and referee errors LOL)

Does that mean Kinsinger gets "off the hook"? No, but your claim that Twitter is flagging his post is off...

@NightStalker said in Sen. Blackburn asks Supreme Court nominee to define 'woman' | USA TODAY:

So did anyone ask her if she's a woman? And if she said "yes", was there an immediate follow up of "how do you know you're a woman if you can't define what one is?"

It wasn't a legitimate question - it was a not-so-thinly veiled attack on trans people.

Indeed, the audience for the question wasn't even the Judge, it was the televised audience, and this was a "dog whistle" call to them: "The trans people are coming! Be afraid!"

@serenity

You are still a liberal in the political sense, regardless of what your country calls its parties.

Your party could call itself the Dookie Stained Butt Plug party, but that doesn't mean your party doesn't have a political leaning.

It's like the Labour Party in the UK doesn't give a damned about the working class. It's a party for rich liberals.

@bi4smooth said in Hunter Biden Bio Firm Partnered With Ukrainian Researchers ‘Isolating Deadly Pathogens’ Using Funds From Obama’s Defense Department.:

Of course, they planned the COVID-19 crisis - because it's so common that US Voters choose to oust a sitting President during a crisis! (Historically - not so much! Had Trump handled the crisis as most Presidents would: by galvanizing the country around a unified response, he'd have been re-elected in the landslide he always dreamed of! Instead, he turned it into a political football, blaming others for stupid things and setting Americans against Americans over a distrust of science! DOH!)

So many Trumpettes don't get this, so I am, for one, glad he tried to ignore COVID.

@bi4smooth

But that's not what the lawsuit was about. The court didn't rule on society changing the definition, but the Scottish government changing the definition.

@bi4smooth

If you need to believe that.
