  • I just want to make this very clear.

    What began as right wing fear mongering in the 1970s under the message of protecting traditional family values against secular humanism, and involved a film literally called “Whatever happened to the human race?” might very well end with the extinction of the human race, at the hands of an evil gay villain who has funded hateful racist and anti LGBTQ policy, while spreading all kinds of nonsense about population decline, reducing overall quality of life in America, replacing jobs with AI, making healthcare and birth control inaccessible to many Americans, preventing gay couples from adopting (while also quietly raising his own adopted children with his husband, and let’s be honest, likely murdering his kept boyfriend on the side when he started speaking out about Thiel’s hypocrisy), and is intentionally trying to collapse the entire economy bc he knows that once that happens, he will control the majority of resources and power. Following human extinction, he (or at least his name) will live on eternally via transhumanism as the one representative of all humankind and all it’s earthly achievements. Just really let that all sink in.

    Congrassions! Ya Done It!



  • I’m glad to see them doing stuff like this.

    I think people underestimate how easy it is to keep people from realizing the truth to this in red states. If you only watch local news, and depend on Facebook for all of your political info, you’re going to be in the dark on most issues. Even if something important slips through, there’s always a swarm of disinformation bots ready to explain why it’s “fake news.”

    Like in Louisiana every major hospital wrote a letter to Mike Johnson, warning him that the BBB would be catastrophic and multiple hospitals would close down. He not only passed it he fought tooth and nail to make sure it passed.

    People deserve to know how hard he worked to take away their healthcare. On the rare occasion stories like this get reported by local news, they are quickly buried.



  • The most insane thing to me is at the core of the alleged argument for why all of this is necessary, is simply a demand of “freedom of religion” (at least when ignoring the quiet parts that are at the core of that, and aren’t even that quite anymore).

    Not religious freedom and definitely not freedom from religion (separation of church and state) bc even saying that is somehow an attack on “freedom of religion.” If somebody started demanding we all follow sharia law and made sure kids know what’s in the quran, the same people demanding freedom of religion, would definitely be freaking the fuck out.

    Since we’re a “Christian nation,” it’s what the forefathers intended. That’s not true, but if you say it enough times, insist that it was at one point, and claim all you’re trying to do now is return America to a place of these traditional values (a place that never existed), you can use this prefigurative traditionalism to force the country to accept any values you want.

    Freedom of religion also works to give Christianity the same rights as any person (and more bc you really can’t go against God). Kinda like how it turns out corporations were people the whole time, we just didn’t realize it until the supreme court made sure we knew.




  • Just closely associating with child rapists, and being accused by multiple people of sexual assault on underage women, and known to have sexually assaulted multiple women of legal age. If there is any justice left in this country I hope he and everyone else that hurt and trafficked women and children goes down for it. No matter what their politics may be.

    Pretending Trump is innocent in all this is wishing that people harmed by Trump are once again denied justice, simply because the consequences of justice would impede one’s political agenda. And ultimately some people count and some people don’t. And some people seem to completely lack empathy, and can’t be bothered to acknowledge evil if it’s not directly having an impact on them or somebody they care about.




  • I had to scroll for a while but came just for the sucks at eating popcorn discussion.

    My husband’s first job was working at a movie theatre sweeping the floors between movies. When we met like 10 years later, I learned he strongly held this weird stereotype about white women not being able to eat popcorn without making a complete mess.

    When I asked why, he said it was something he’d noticed when he worked at the movie theatre. He then went into this long Rush Limbaughesque rant about the most ridiculous amount of popcorn he’d ever had to sweep up being when the theatre was showing the Divine Secrets of the Yaya Sisterhood. “The entire floor was like a carpet layer of popcorn!,” “It was like they had all been throwing it up in the air throughout the whole movie!,” and “What were they even doing?!?” Even to this day he still brings it up when someone mentions that movie or spills their popcorn.*





  • She could have killed herself. Luckily as a depressed person who was normally never left alone, she was left by herself with a gun not long after being checked out of the hospital for those mysterious bruises that apparently weren’t caused by the car accident.

    So no real way to know if anyone might have killed her (like her father believes) in the window of time nobody can account for. Kinda like somebody else that killed themselves in an odd window of time after being left unsupervised.

    It might have been she just seized the opportunity at a very coincidental time. Like every suicidal person who is involved in a global pedophile network and directly linked to a man who is a member of the Royal family.

    I wonder what he’s been up to?

    Prince Andrew appears pensive as he embarks on his weekly ride through the Windsor estate

    That’s kind of an oddly cryptic headline to publish today… I wonder if anybody linked to the daily mail is also linked to any of this other stuff.




  • A source told CNN on Tuesday Giuffre was a current inpatient at a hospital in Perth and the bruising in the image was real, but she was not in a life-threatening condition and hospital staff were unaware of how her injuries were caused.

    7NEWS understands Giuffre is currently being treated at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

    So where did the bruising come from?

    Fuck this is all so fucking bizarre. And then to just throw the comment and story about Prince Andrew at the bottom like an afterthought??? But then almost seems like vaguely threatening in hindsight. Every description just feels like something your brain would come up with in a dream where nothing makes sense.



  • THIS DOES NOT CHANGE TRUMP BEING GUILTY, IT JUST DIRECTLY LINKS VANCE AND THIEL TO A BIGGER SCHEME

    •Epstein’s estate continues to receive money from his investments in Thiel’s company Valar Ventures

    •Thiel’s company continues to receive money in large government contracts.

    •Thiel provides money to Republican and Democratic candidates, so that no matter what happens he has a back up plan for his own success.

    •Meanwhile, the Democrats and Republicans he is funding along with the Epstein estate, are trying to go down in history as the good guys, and want to preserve this book in the Smithsonian.

    •For all we know they may have removed the people they want to keep protecting (like prince Andrew) from the book they will present as evidence, and kept people that fit the narrative they’re trying to create

    •For all we know, they could be blackmailing a lot of guilty rich fuckers and allowing them a chance to pay up so they don’t also go down in history as part of the Smithsonian Epstein birthday book.

    We are putting a lot of trust and faith into the word of Epstein’s estate executors. Two men who were described as indispensable captains of his sex trafficking ring.

    Concise enough?

    Honestly IMO it seems like counter intelligence to say don’t follow the money, don’t worry about who is releasing what. Just buy what they’re willing to sell you hook, line and sinker but don’t look any further.
