I had to get that stupid beaner off today, there’s been enough of his shit for one day. But I also wanted To bring you a story. You see Dennis Hassert died. He wasn’t a terrible person, I just want to get that out there. He always scheduled several weeks in advance, and always paid in cash up front and while I never expect a tip he always did.
There was just things that were off about his appointments. Like his rules. We always had to be clean upon his arrival, and he would check our hands first, under the fingernails. For whatever reason he had to see we didn’t have any cavities either. Once we began we were all wearing catlick school girl outfits and outfitted with braids, he never wore anything other than a bathrobe and gold chain with this symbol. I dunno what it means.
What was really off putting was the we part. You see we were always in a group, never an even number now that I think about it. He preferred to watch, so he didn’t really participate. We could never really move forward with any sexual activity unless a majority of us agreed who had to go first with his friend, who we later found out was Jack Murtha this one time in 1994 we were actually able to agree to take off the leather mask. Its like how the fuck do you call us in over a three day weekend and NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS.
Anyways, Very sad.
The line for volunteers must be longer than the one out my door on a Wednesday morning.
Hey genius, they already do.
On a long enough time scale everyone will inevitably revert back to hating Jews.
Of course its a false flag. Lets create a fake pandemic, treatable by easily produced antibiotics weeks before an election.
Whoa. They’re getting really hard to tell these days.
This is really stupid. Don’t blockad them. call Blackwater to send in pirate teams to commandeer them. Throw the original crews out to sea. Then send the ships to the gulf of America. That will drop gas prices down to $1.75 where they should be!
Speaking of surveys, from dedthred. I did not take that survey because ew. BUT—
The little vampire who drew my blood Friday was really good at her job and so when she said something about the post-visit survey, I decided to do it. Usual questions. I’m not bitching about the wait. I said, I know how the revenue cycle works and I know you can’t do 10- to 15-minute visits all day every day on time. Gave my doc good marks for respecting my refusals for this, that, and some other thing. Once he saw my bp, he had zero reason to gripe at me. (Sidebar: BP last year was 160/120 something, but as they had proof my last cardiac workup was clean as a whistle, neither he nor my ob sent me to the ER. FRIDAY, it was 128/76. Told you docs I was up to my eyeballs in stimulants.)
Anyway, so the last thing was, “How can we improve?” and I decided a screed on lobbying for abolishment of health insurance, especially tied to employment would be a nice start, because this demon love child of fascism and faux capitalism wasn’t working was a completely reasonable and appropriate cap to my jaded survey answers.
O/T: I wanted to pass along a thank you to those that participated in the Beyond the Dichotomy survey. It is much appreciated!
Who the fuck do you think you are? You can’t go off topic for another 19 minutes.
LOL
Where am I supposed to post it for everyone to see, the deadthread?
Yes you tripe eating shitbag. I’m not hosting sloppy seconds for some faux intellectual bullshit.
I thought public humiliation would cost extra?
Calm your tits, I’m leaving.
First they came for the brown people, and I said nothing because I was green….
Calm my tits? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Calm my tits? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
I dunno, lets go with refill your bird feeder, psycho.

Go back to Mexico and quit stealing the links from a real hardworking American 🇺🇸
Where’s the narrowed gaze???
I just saw the post. Nice try Fed.
My thoughts exactly.
Damn straight!
He’s not a FED!
THATS EXACTLY WHAT A FED WOULD SAY
I don’t need this shit. Bye bitch.
Hastert was a man ahead of his time. Ruled and compromised by his perversions, he accomplished nothing memorable as Speaker except spending vast sums of our money on pointless wars. Isn’t that the norm now?
I wonder if he got caught because he crossed somebody?
Of course he did.
Outrage bomb
President Trump is stoking outrage among California Democrats and at least one House GOP candidate after he suggested at a midterm rally that he would allow Iran to “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) led the charge, telling The Hill on Tuesday that Trump is “mentally ill.”
“TIME FOR THE 25TH!” the governor said in a statement.
The sentiment follows a social media post from Newsom on Monday where he called Trump “deranged and dangerous.”
Newsom is widely seen as a prospective presidential contender for Democrats in 2028.
“Gavin Newscum is the worst governor in America, and he also may be the dumbest,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in response to the remarks.
I can’t be bothered to care.
As usual – the actual quote isn’t included in the story – just sentence fragments…
OMB is determined to destroy the GOP isn’t he.
Almost as determined as the GOP.
I had to get that stupid beaner off today…
$40 for the Mexican variety platter, same as downtown?
I got a pendant with that symbol in the mail.
Later strange people asked me “have you seen the yellow sign?” and eventually a crate with this statuette of a masked figure showed up at my door.
Since the start of the 21st century, Poland has seemed like a textbook example of sustainable development.
I just can’t get past that. Sustainable development? Whatever that means.
Once we began we were all wearing catlick school girl outfits and outfitted with braids
Huh.
“Catlick” as in, with ears and tails? Please go on…
That’s possible, but I was reminded of how folks from near where I grew up often pronounced “Catholic”.
Either way, it’s all pussy.
Cosplay is extra, plus the cost of building the costume.
Seattle socialist Mayor Katie Wilson hosted a book talk on Sept. 24 featuring Canadian activist authors and conspiracy theorists Naomi Klein and Asta Taylor for a discussion about their book “End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World.”
Gadfrey. An Angry White Woman trifecta.
Conspiracy theories are exclusively an artifact of the disenfranchised Right, you see.
(Seriously, the article is worth reading if you enjoy some ramblecrazy in your life.)
Well, everyone of us living today has King Nebuchandnezzar back in our family tree.
STEVE STAB LOTS OF HIKERS. USUALLY LOT MORE TIMES THAN THAT. HIM NOT TOO PARTICULAR ON WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
Are many of the male to female transtrenders that we see today just what we used to call incels?
No. Crossdressers and trannies and sissies.
Now we just call them troons.
In the old days, maybe. But it seems to me that the increase might be from incels who found a more socially acceptable way to be defective.
No.
Incels are the bottom quintile of the sexual market place, by definition would like to fornicate in a long term relationship but are unable to do so because they are not physically attractive, nor do they have many of the other attributes a female might find attractive (they’re broke). This is a fair bit of my client base and typically they are not repeat customers. At some point …they give up.
MtF is a mental disorder manifested physically. Although I have a couple on my rolodex, some guys have fetishes I don’t care to understand.
Incels can turn into autogynephiles. Ted Kaczynski nearly went that route.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski
***
For a period of several weeks in 1966, Kaczynski experienced intense sexual fantasies of being female and decided to undergo gender transition. He arranged to meet with a psychiatrist but changed his mind in the waiting room and discussed other things instead, without disclosing his original reason for making the appointment. Afterward, enraged, he considered killing the psychiatrist and other people whom he hated. Kaczynski described this episode as a “major turning point” in his life.[31][32][33] He recalled: “I felt disgusted about what my uncontrolled sexual cravings had almost led me to do. And I felt humiliated, and I violently hated the psychiatrist. Just then there came a major turning point in my life. Like a phoenix, I burst from the ashes of my despair to a glorious new hope.”[34]

For those of you following along at home… I finally got word from my lawyer today that the other lawyers got back to us. They want a deposition from me, and that will be some time in November. We are asking for the maximum insurance amount, which after lawyer’s cut and medical bills would still get me a car and then some. So good news, even though we’re still moving slowly.
Nice. Care to share which insurer is giving you the run around?
My bet is Allstate or Progressive.
But it’s easy to make educated guesses based on market share.
Well done sir. Correct on the first guess, it’s Allstate, which is my insurance company.
I am grateful my Uninsured Motorist coverage is 2x the state minimum.
Allstate is noted for this. I’ll pay slightly more not to go through what you are.
You should. Now that it’s too late, I’m hearing a lot of similar stories. I would imagine we’ll be leaving them after this is over.
You’re probably in better hands with Winston’s Mom than with Allstate!
It would have all come quicker, that’s for sure.
This is promising.
Even though I’m on a roof in the middle of West Virginia trying to finish this CO/Hg/HCl/ PM test, I can say with certainty that my tits are calm.
Our government.

The CIA ain’t what it used to be. Back in my (or my parents’) day, corrupt SESers would have the brainpower to park their embezzled funds offshore.
Cancel that panic.
I finally got around to opening my license plate renewal for the Element. It’s my winter car; I hardly ever drive it until it snows. Oh, no! there are no “27” stickers. WTF? There were stickers for the Civic and Pickup plates. Now I have to go through some sort of bureaucratic nightmare to get them, right?
In tiny print (which I only found because I was looking for a phone number) it says “stickers are no longer required”. Being a paranoid sort, I decide to call Boise anyway, just to double check. Lo and behold, included in the robomessage is the announcement that stickers are no longer required. Huh. I always wondered who the hell could read them. Maybe they were there for the meter maids to check.
Why TF would you drive an Element on anything other than bone dry asphalt?
The AWD version with decent tires are supposedly really good in snow?
Know how all the restaurants and gas stations are all real close to interstate exits? Politics is a lot like that, in that it clusters around the mainstream. Libertarianism would be like a farmer’s produce stand 5 miles away on a dirt road.
Speaking of farmers, I’m working on a novella about a worldwide famine brought on by multiple simultaneous volcano eruptions. It’s like the Year Without a Summer, but much worse.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer
Based on my research, there’s about 3 days worth of food on the shelves of US grocery stores, 3 more in most people’s houses, about a 12-day supply of grain, and all livestock would add up to about 30 pounds of meat per person. Not sure how much food people could gather from hunting and fishing or how many animals would be harvested from zoos and animal shelters.
My basic scenario is riots, hoarding, and looting in the first few weeks followed by mass death by starvation and the collapse of industrial civilization. There’s also migration to warmer coastal areas, a whaling revival, and a return to feudalism as the country is carved up into fiefdoms by warlords.
The part I’m having trouble with is imagining the details of how law and order break down as the food runs out. Does the government lie about the crisis to prevent panic? Do people cooperate for a while, or does all hell break loose immediately? What groups persist, adapt, collapse, or arise?
I have the eruption timed for the winter solstice so Christmas seems like a cruel joke. Take that, Hallmark!
Anyway, I should probably get back to actually writing it.
According to JNS, Wilson repeated and endorsed claims that Christian Zionists are working to trigger nuclear “Armageddon” alongside Silicon Valley billionaires so that Jews can profit off condos in Gaza and build the third Temple in Jerusalem with “spotless red heifers.”
Did I miss something? Won’t those places be pretty much unlivable after a nucleal armegeddon?
Wilson also told the audience that “fascism always emerges in moments of systemic crisis to protect elites from the threats of redistribution and accountability,” before discussing the radical anti-globalization movement that erupted during Seattle’s 1999 World Trade Organization conference.
That’s just what I was going to say.
OMB is determined to destroy the GOP isn’t he.
Oh, horror.

Nice!
$20?
$40 for value added service?
$99 for the subscription model, and $5 per weekly update?
Frost advisory overnight here in southern NH. Earliest I remember. Temps overnight are supposed be just above freezing.
“Seattle socialist mayor”.
Right. I know a booger-eating retard when I see one.
