Thursday Afternoon Links

School’s out! Jesus, this morning was like Rain Man in my house. My five year old might as well have run around screaming “Five minutes to Wapner!”. The ’tism is strong when the schedule changes. I tried to get him to say “K-mart sucks”, but he was all “what’s K-mart?!” Add two older kids acting like they just got a snootful of cocaine and the feral little one, and it was a hell of a morning. I assume Monday when we start the summer schedule will involve similar amounts of random meltdowns and people running around shouting random things. Gotta love it. Or be able to afford full time nannies, so I’m stuck with love it.

Interssectionality is a bitch. Or as certain famous online pundit long ago accused of blending puppies by a current Babylon Bee writer, “It would take a heart of stone not to laugh”.

My shocked face has gone missing – As many as 1500 workers for UNRWA may be associated with Hamas. Gee, who could tell that NGOs had been entirely skinsuited by terrorists and commies?

I can’t believe his name isn’t Donald Trumpalo.

Oh shit, I hope my company didn’t place this guy. That said, if they tried to transport me to this hospital, I would risk dying in the street.

I, for one, would welcome a $200k addition to my property tax exemption. I’m also open to the total elimination, even if it adds 3-5 cents to the sales tax.

Dude made the mistake of picking a fight at school while there was female cop. He’s lucky he wasn’t shot.

I think we all know what the song is gonna be, but I’ll give you the abridged version with a young Mila drawing a pot leaf on the Constitution as an alternate bonus version.

About The Author

Brett L

Brett L

Brett set out to find America, the real America, the America of strip malls and serial killers, of butthole waxing and kelp smoothies, of cocaine and maggots. He sought it in the most American part of America—Florida: swamp gas and fever dreams, where love arrives on a rickety boat and leaves when it doesn't have the money for its fourth abortion. Oh, where has Brett gone? He’s drinking at the neck of America’s wang, chewing its foreskin and working its shaft. Brett is becoming legend. Brett can never die. Brett can never die. Brett is America, facedown in his own patriotic puke: the red his blood, the white his stomach lining, and the cold, cold blue his gas station slushie, spiked with coconut rum and tetracycline.

    The proposed amendment, which the governor called “historic,” will likely draw swift and fierce opposition from those fearful that the tax overhaul will take away billions now spent on schools, cities and counties

    I already support the plan. You don’t have to sell me on it.

    • Brett L

      Yeah, we’re already closing schools due to lack of enrollment. Maybe the county doesn’t need as many billions as it had last year?

      • rhywun

        Then when the teacher’s union starts demanding reduced class sizes.

        Suddenly you need those billions again.

      • rhywun

        “That’s” when…

      • Fourscore

        Those extra teachers have to go somewhere. They only need 16 more years before retirement.

    • Threedoor

      Privatize the schools.
      Eliminate all the police departments that do not have an elected sheriff as their head.
      Auction off the EMS, libraries, fire, water and sewer.

      And erase the property tax.

  2. Rat on a train

    I will settle for a much smaller elimination of the car tax.

      • R.J.

        Damn straight.

    • Threedoor

      Lisence plates should be issued for the period of ownership of the vehicle.

      No annual tax.

  3. rhywun

    Straight people are allowed to run for office

    How quaint.

    But I thought Richie Torres was above such petty shitbaggery – I guess not. He is often actually “moderate” but oh well, he really is a Democrat.

  4. rhywun

    As many as 1500 workers for UNRWA may be associated with Hamas.

    Or, “today in news that everybody already knew”.

    There is a reason that spot of land – and that one only – gets its own “relief agency” separate from the general relief agency that the rest of the world gets from the UN.

    • Brett L

      It’s the only UN relief spot that doesn’t have to import rapists from other nations?

  5. Fourscore

    Now the kid is embarrassed because every kid in school has seen the video, getting his ass kicked by a woman.

    Had he gotten that from his Mama a few years earlier maybe he wouldn’t need it today.

    • EvilSheldon

      That photo makes the ‘kid’ look quite a bit bigger than the cop.

    • rhywun

      Guessing about 99% chance he got what he deserved.

      Good grief that pitiful agitating in the article. 🙄

    • Threedoor

      Bianca Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho

      First in a long line of winners.

  6. The Late P Brooks

    Reps. Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., co-chairs of the Democrat-aligned Equality Caucus’ political arm, sharply criticized Allred for challenging Rep. Julie Johnson in the Democratic primary for a deep-blue Dallas-anchored House seat.

    “It’s no secret that, without Julie, Texas — and likely the entire South — will lose openly LGBTQ representation in Congress,” the Equality PAC co-chairs wrote in a statement Wednesday. “Many in our community remain deeply hurt by Colin Allred’s decision to challenge one of our own.”

    Faithful defenders of the democratic process, they are.

    Eat shit and die.

    • trshmnstr

      Can they all lose? Allred is a skeevy clown and him being straight is the least reason for him to not be in congress.

      • kinnath

        Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.

        It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.

  7. Rat on a train

    Ants tried to claim my mailbox.

    • Furthest Blue pistoffnick (370HSSV)

      I remember that screen saver. Came with flying toasters too.

      • Threedoor

        Crap. I’m old aren’t I?

  8. The Late P Brooks

    “As he moves forward, he bears a responsibility to help heal those divisions and rebuild trust with the communities impacted by this race,” they added.

    Self appointed arbiters of the will of the people. Why didn’t that uppity nigra ask for their permission to run?

    • R.J.

      Just…
      Why a Lincoln Continental? At least he took the vinyl top off. But why that car?

      • Fourscore

        Lincoln Intercontinental?

      • DEG

        It’s a Lincoln. Why not?

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        What, you think he should have used a Cadillac?

        Only an alien would think that!

    TOO LOCAL NEWS: NH Legislative session review

    As this year’s legislative calendar comes to a close, activists and lawmakers surveying the final results say more can be done to advance liberty in New Hampshire.

    “We’ve had some wins already, and we’ve had some losses, and we have things that are kind of in limbo,” Americans for Prosperity Deputy State Director Sarah Scott said.

    AFP activists and volunteers gathered this week at the Stark Brewing Company to assess this year’s session. The packed room brimmed with energy as Scott, Rep. Sam Farrington (R-Rochester) and Adam Haverstock with the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance counted off the wins and near misses for liberty in Concord.

    “I think it moved in a positive direction,” Haverstock said. “I don’t think it’s a knockout win just yet.”

    Farrington was less cautious in his assessment of the session, saying while the House did its job, the Senate slowed the cause of liberty.

    “The House was good, the other chamber is the issue,” Farrington said.

      • DEG

        $900? With inflation that doesn’t buy you much.

      • Sensei

        Crazy talk. How about lowering our taxes by $900?

      • DEG

        How about lowering our taxes by $900?

        Sorry, best I can do is raise your taxes.

      • rhywun

        Ridiculous.

      • Rat on a train

        Per pet, right? Think of the cat ladies.

      • Sean

        We just got 750 ladybugs. Do they qualify?

      • Furthest Blue pistoffnick (370HSSV)

        How do you know they are all ladies?

      • whiz

        Now there’s an R who needs to be primaried.

    Jill Biden Explains She Thought Joe Had A Stroke During Debate, Which Is Why She Left Him Up There To Die

    “I didn’t think there was blood getting to his brain and that he could die at any moment. That’s why I let him stay up there, to just see what happened,” explained the former First Lady. “The more he babbled and drooled, the more sure I was that there was a clot causing rapid neurological decompensation. So, I left him on stage to keel over and die.”

    • rhywun

      I just vibe coded my way through a company contest. I hope it doesn’t take us down.

      • Threedoor

        Why would a vibrator need any code?

      • rhywun

        The judges haven’t declared a winner yet.

        It could be $10,000 split by 6 or… a gift card. I’m guessing since none of us knew what we were doing, it’s the gift card.

    • Brett L

      Well, since we don’t kill euthanize the ones that are doomed, I can see how our data looks like we spend a lot of money on people who are going to die anyways. I’m okay with that.

    • DEG

      Hier says the deal includes a gradual reopening. But, still needs approval.

    Not so fast, my gal.

  12. The Late P Brooks

    Made it out of the grocery store with $1.97 left in my pocket. Good thing I forgot to grab a couple cans of tuna.

    I pay zero attention to prices.

    “I think I might be almost out of that. Hmm, maybe I’ll try that. Gotta have beer and milk…” and so on. Oh, well. At least most of what I got was actual food.

    • Fourscore

      I like to carry a little cash for small purchases but at the store I use my card.

      I planted corn today, we’re in a drought condition so turn on the irrigation. It’s corn weather already but dry. At least enough rain to turn the woods green.

    • Threedoor

      You don’t actually need milk.

    “The top cop who reportedly had thunderous sex with federal judge Eleanor Ross has been identified as a deputy chief in the Atlanta Police Department.

    Kelley Collier was unmasked as the high-ranking official who had a steamy affair with the married Obama-era appointed jurist, according to Bloomberg Law, citing a person familiar with the situation.”

    RACIST!!!

    “School’s out! Jesus, this morning was like Rain Man in my house. My five year old might as well have run around screaming …”

    I resemble this comment. *Just* finished my first shift in receiving at Meijer. Much box lifting, and I’ll check my pedometer soon, but ‘my’ 5yo is gonna return with M&D in about 10 min. I’d love to chill for a bit, but that rambunctious roustabout doesn’t understand such.

    It’ll be fun. Pizza’s on the way, and he will be tired. I strongly encourage pizza naps. (For others. I can’t nap.)

    • R.J.

      Hey! At least we are watching the cartoon of Animal Farm tonight. The kid will love it!

      • R.J.

        It’s got talking animals…. Kids love talking animals!

      • Evan from Evansville

        Woah. Woah. Woah. That is *not* the worst idea. Will check his Exhaust-O-Meter.

        They just arrived…

    • Threedoor

      Ive been inside an Orthodox Church made out of logs once.

      Does that count?

    • rhywun

      Maybe Pie? He is always correcting the dates of our heathen holidays.

    • Shpip

      Hayeksplosives had been attending an Orthodox church for a couple of years, but she stopped going recently.

      • Threedoor

        Hopefully she’s in the Big Church now.

  15. Evan from Evansville

    That school vid is… fucked. Damn. There’s a big damn problem when that’s ‘normal’ at a ‘public’ school. I wonder what’ve happened if the arriving officers were both white.

    Fatherlessness is by far the biggest problem in the black community. WoD and paying mom to have kids. No one’s politically pushed this, and I suppose it would be awfully difficult to sell. Ya’d have to get a respected black person to reveal how the Left is happily continuing the ‘subservient class’ with flagrant illiteracy in schools, and paying women to become baby factories, more kids more $.

    I wish Sowell’d do it, but damn. He’s 95. It’s not like people were listening to him, or being *allowed* to hear him, for the decades before. The speech/etc would have to push how all the Left cares about is their ‘monolithic’ voting bloc. And keeping schools a laughingstock.

    I fear it won’t end well. Perhaps the Latinx vote usurping their ‘importance’ will tip the scales, tilting into anger at how they’ve been treated and taken for granted.

      There have been plenty but it’s an uphill battle against a party full of racist grifters determined to keep them “in their place”.
