They are eating the cats and dogs! How can anyone that voted for the man that said that on live tv claim to be shocked

at his behavior???
Megyn Kelly really asked " Why can't he act normal?"
Seriously???
What was normal about him saying people eating cats and dogs?
Talking about Arnold Palmer's penis?
Whales, sharks, and all the other insane things he said.
Why are you acting as if he pulled a 180?

Well, he didn't go that far! lol

The list of nuttiness statements from Trump is a long one.

Nothing other than fishing for a reaction, what he says may not have any connection to reality.

But it sucks too many people in, unfortunately.

I'll never forget when she tried to argue that maybe not all pedophilia is the same, no doubt in anticipation of having to defend Trump one day when all the Epstein files are released.


Kelly stated that she knows "somebody very close to this case" who "told me from the start [...] that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile."
"He was into the barely legal type, like, he liked 15-year-old girls," Kelly continued. "I'm not trying to make an excuse for this, I'm just giving you facts — that he wasn't into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passer-by."

Online especially. And from various Darwin Awards candidates I sardonically label “cursed by the gift of speech and forcing endless 3 body style reputation management on everyone else. It is a vaccine!!!!”

Because apparently you cannot ever tell technofascists not cheap, lazy technocrats with tribal instincts to stop snooping and to stop shilling garbage tech endlessy. Nor to check the types of truly pointless and disgraceful social experiments that thrive online outside DU. As every idiot who has ever said shit like that can have his anxieties exploited as he remembers this endless backlash of stupid against onslaughts/backlashes of creepiness which go on to infinity. With each new privacy invasion degrading everything further.

But it is also starting to seriously anger me when it doesn’t stay online. I get vaccinated and keep my routine ransomware up to date and don’t visit shady sites. I did check out “grokipedia” ( ) on a whim yesterday and compared the description of Hitler and the Holocaust in it vs Wikipedia as that was the top suggested search. Both did say that around 6 million Jewish people lost their lives in the holocaust. Other subtler differences I couldn’t parse as I am a bit wary re spyware from rw sites and exit them quickly.

Just wrt to having your views seen, people are unlikely to spend time on sites they assess as likelier to normalize spyware..Lol..I thought of Agatha Christie’s thesis on how murderers like to brag. Oh well.. Dear Troy..

As for Kelly, when you also support people like Trump as Kelly does, taken together that is total disregard for women which includes pedophilia.

I was never impressed by that fit Megyn Kelly had over that bleeding stuff. And I am glad Megyn Kelly is openly supporting Trump.

2016 was painful with Vance, Pichai, Kelly etc saying blatantly disingenuous things that are “feminist” and “anti Trump” to gushing acclaim.

Trump is a rapist. And has spanned 13 to mid fifties roughly. Pathetic..
RFk is also a sexual harasser. I don’t see a way to support the contemporary GOP without being a misogynist.
Don’t kill the messenger.

I continue to be grateful to Dave for having unpopular women around. I do appreciate it Dave. I am as unpopular as Trump, which seems a bit unfair. But there is some information in my posts so I shall occasionally post. I liked that Rick Rude Calves guy and envied him. I have lived in fear of getting doxxed forever. It keeps happening as well.

It was pure torture to be stupid and agreeable. I am in my damn lane. My resources not anyone else’s. I pay the price gougers of Apple. I wish I could pay for WhatsApp. It is Prof Lecun’s fault if I get doxxed via WhatsApp. He was the reason I finally buckled and downloaded it.
I saw an interview of his expecting to hate him and was surprised to see he was not stupid.

But I owe Dave Allsop (and elad and Skinner) and Rollo Carpenter. Too heartfelt to be an ad.

On the one hand you have a clear choice. Otoh it seems like a permanent hostage situation.

I voted here in India today. Against the corrupt, extremely misogynistic, anti-environmental communist party in power and without throwing my vote away. But it was so random beyond that. I am voting against the misogynistic trash of the last 12 years that left my mom dead. I have no expectation that whoever wins will be any better. But one must still do what one can to vote out the known misogynists. And if things got better I would still be suspicious though cautiously less hostile.
Not for anyone or anything.

I looked at something called “The Federalist” once vaguely feeling that exclusively following one brand of human stupidity was making me biased against the left more than the right.
Otoh I would like to save my remaining brain cells. And..

How are people enthusiastic? Imagine if you had to worry about being dogged as suicidally depressed when you are no such thing (the name of a favorite movie of mine)? It can seem like shtick when you honestly communicate and that generally ..these cultish and tribal societies full of a stealth ai push calling people misanthropes for not backing totally shady corrupt and self serving ai pushes. And theatre and gaming.

There was a lot on “The Federalist” about some person called “bad bunny”, whose canned statements about immigration and America have the effect of nails on chalkboard and are generally insulting to human intelligence like all celebrity comments and pretty much everything.

It is an Ai push I suppose for lazy people who claim to be overworked.

Otoh people without much by way of policy positions do like to focus on such persons whether it is that ass Hulk Hogan or this “bad bunny” person.


I am explicitly the platonic ideal again of someone who outside of known people hates everyone equally. And doesn’t always buy the decision making of most anyone including myself as I navigate a pointless hellscape filled with crowds of idiots. I am an idiot too! “We”-all bonded by mind numbing self serving idiocy.

Anyway the only piece on “The Federalist” I agreed with was by a woman who was angry that Andrew Cuomo has a radio show given that she lost her mom during the pandemic.

So did I. Her oncologist was decent and he is my onc as well because he is someone I respect and trust completely. Unlike ai shills, he is genuinely overworked like my oncology nurse. Regardless he was an excellent doctor till the greed ramped up locally.

One difference between me and George Carlin is that being a woman I cannot not vote.
I am furious about the last 14 maybe 16 years.
Otoh much like Carlin I cannot join any groups. I disgree with him further that you can see the universe in every human’s eyes. In many eyes all I see is greed and avarice and a complete disregard for everyone and everything else. And that is found in all groups.

I am free at last. To hate without reservation and I do. It just happens to be devoid of explanatory strategies filled with bigotry or small mindedness. My hate knows no bounds. Otoh it is driven by whoever you are on the inside alone or in teams.

I hate stupid and sleazy people. In groups and individually.

I am still a humanist though. What can you expect with this dumb self serving bloody trash. Utterly disgraceful.
