Holy poo poo, he is SO jacked on 'roids right now.

Last year, my dad (in his late 60's) was being treated for pneumonia with corticosteroids. Normally, he's a pretty sedentary guy. After a few days of treatment, my stepmom called me to say, "You need to come over and deal with him RIGHT NOW. He has cleaned the house THREE TIMES TODAY and he won't shut up. I can't loving take it anymore."

When Trumpy crashes, this is going to be epic. Alternately, they just never take him off the 'roids until his heart explodes.

Honestly, in hindsight, my crohn's flaring up so badly I wound up in the hospital for a week the week I was supposed to start the move a few years back, then emerging from the hospital armed with a bottle full of 'roids probably made it even remotely possible for me to spend the next few weeks going back and forth from the old place to the new one moving stuff and cleaning and fixing stuff up.

Haha, I probably couldn't have done it if I'd stayed in my usual level of the disease, where I'm useless but not hospital-bound.

He gonna crash *so* hard.

I am not willing to believe that being pro-Trump, as idiotic as that is, brings you more actual trouble than literally being a Bin Laden.


It is an absurd claim.

It's like the christians who *really* want to be Martyrs, despite being in the powerful class of the society they're from, so they're constantly crying persecution whenever someone doesn't let them steamroll them in some manner.

Note that 99% of the above tend to be conservatives.

Right-wing chud victimhood seems to transcend religion, as evidenced by the similar responses to the slightest pushback against their aggressions we've all witnessed over the past, well, lifetimes, but moreso in the last ten years or so.

The only difference between us as sibling is I took advanced placement classes and he took remedial classes. Can't say for sure if that had anything to do with it.

I mean, I wound up in a ton of remedial classes due to sadbrains and trans-stress in my school years causing me to miss a ton of classes in the non-remedial ones, to the point where my assistant principal outright told me she was keeping me from taking the last class I needed for my last 3 credits out of pure spite, because she didn't think I deserved to do so.

I've still spent my whole life living in a place surrounded by the worst chuds available, fighting them and decrying their stupid regressive bullshit with every breath I take.

Education alone is rarely the answer, in my experience.

it would be more accurate to ask why the zodiac killer is arguing with a pirate, which may be a film premise hollywood hasn't run into the ground yet

I don't know what browser you might be using, but the BlockTube extension has worked wonders for me, since you can just block entire channels with it from ever being seen again, as well as individual videos, and it seems to have some sort of knock-on effect on the algorithms, because I get virtually no recommended chud videos after blocking, like, ten of their channels over the past couple of years.

This guy's job is literally to make cops feel nothing about killing people, to desensitize them completely from murder and to take away hesitation when pulling the trigger by dehumanizing the victims. That's his job. A job that apparently needs to exist. Good job America.

His previous grift, before this one, was to proclaim how horrific all those things were when videogames were doing them to the nation's children.

I really wish he'd tried to keep that one going, because it did far, far less harm.

Okay but that doesn’t answer as to WHY she is burgin so hard

As I stated previously, she's angry about racism and institutional police corruption in what's supposed to be a post-apocalyptic utopian society. And also anti-immigrant bigotry, I think.

But she's also on her lunch break, and hungry for burg, so highly intense burgin' as a result, while her cyborg life-partner is just sippin' his drink next to her.

It's unfortunate that the purge series got immediately loved by the real life villains of the series, because every film in the series has the protagonists as being anti-purge, and it's called out fairly conclusively as insane and utterly wrong, a tool of an oppressive right-wing autocracy that's now controlling the United States (drawing upon current right-wing/fash/white supremacist trends for inspiration in the later movies).

Again, it's been turned into poe's law in action simply by the murderous right-wing dickheads in real life who don't get the movies at all other than desiring to murder their liberal neighbors and rape their young children, just like the cool badasses in the movies.

My dad has some kind of heart problem that he needs a procedure for, it's bad but not immediately life threatening. Our hospitals are so full of ivermectin eaters and unvaxxed covid ppl that he can't get scheduled until march 2022

There's only one surgeon in the state that can do the procedure and it's a 4 hour long procedure so he only does two each week, and the hospitals being this full has caused a six month backlog for it.

Not nearly as bad as this, but my mom had cataracts that were caught early by her doctors, with a surgery to remove them scheduled for february of 2020 (in 2019).

It's been permanently postponed since then, with no end in sight, and her eyesight is starting to noticeably fail.

MAGA Pastor Arrested On Tarmac After Returning From 4-Month Tour Of Spreading COVID Conspiracies


https://www.comicsands.com/pawlowski-maga-pastor-arrested-canada-2655188591.html

Upon returning from an anti-vaccine and anti-mask speaking tour catering to MAGA crowds in the United States, Artur Pawlowski—anti-LGBTQ+ pastor for the Cave of Adullam church in Calgary, Alberta, Canada—was arrested on the tarmac of the Calgary International Airport.

Ron Filipkowski, shared a video of Pawlowski's arrest on his Twitter page, showing Pawlowski deliberately disobeying the requests of the arresting officer by getting on his knees and putting his hands behind his head.

In a follow-up tweet, Filipkowski stated Pawlowski "repeatedly violated court orders," suggesting this might have been the reason for his arrest.

He also shared images of the far-right pastor with Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, as well as one of his appearances on Fox News during his US Covid misinformation tour.

https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/...2655188591.html

https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/...2655188591.html

But, Sarah Miller, Pawlowski's lawyer, reported he was charged with "contempt of court" following an incident on June 5, though she didn't disclose any further details as to what the incident entailed.

This was not the first arrest for the far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ pastor.

Pawlowski had previously been arrested in May of this year, alongside his brother, Dawid Pawlowski, for organizing an illegal in person gathering at his church, ignoring Covid-19 mandates regarding masks and social distancing.

Pawlowski used his arrest as an opportunity to spout his far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs on tour in the United states, painting himself the victim on Fox News for being arrested—in his version of reality—for "enticing people to come to church" and begging viewers for "help in Canada."

"You have been, historically speaking, a giant, a great eagle, that is always coming to our aid."

"Canada has been taken over by communism, socialism, fascistic hybrid."

The Polish born Pawlowski, who owned a construction business prior to becoming a pastor in Canada, made several headlines for his far right, bigoted hate speech long before his arrests.

In 2013, he wrote on the website of his church the floods happening in the province of Alberta, Canada at the time were God's punishment for the "perversion of homosexuality."

In 2017, Pawlowski organized a rally titled "In Defense of Christianity" alongside anti-gay and anti-abortion activist Bill Whatcott, which quickly turned violent.

Pawlowski has spent most of this past year fighting regulations regarding Covid-19, namely all the restrictions placed on his church, even calling the Canadian police and health inspectors "Nazis" for enforcing the mandates.

Switchblade was the best vehicle because it had the most thematic integrity, combining the most dangerous land vehicle with the most dangerous flying vehicle for the most dangerous vehicle for its owner in all of existence.
