BREAKING: Feds never offered a plea deal to Ghislaine Maxwell to name names in the Epstein Network

Are you paying attention yet?

Facebook to censor messages questioning the questionable practice of masking when Our Superiors demand we mask:

facebookcensorshipannouncement.jfif

I like how they first say they're going to ban people for "denying the existence of covid 19" -- which virtually no one does -- and then slip in, "oh, and we'll also ban you for saying that there's no science supporting masking or the six foot distancing rule, too."


Read another f***ing book, you mentally-ill baby-brained imbecilic childlike sociopathic doltish perverts:

readanotherbookdumdums.jfif

President Ice Cream Cone backs down, for now:


holdoffonmandate.jfif
theyneedyoutokneel.jfif

Meanwhile, more obedient, soy-based peoples find more accommodations with authoritarian rule:

39 Jeffrey Epstein's Boeing 727 airliner -- dubbed the 'Lolita Express' -- is believed to be the site of some of the alleged sexual abuse to underage girls
DailyMailTV got an exclusive look inside the luxury jet, as photos reveal plush furnishings, throw blankets, deep pile carpets, a bed and fluffy pillows
The plane has carried President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, actor Kevin Spacey, comedian Chris Tucker and supermodel Naomi Campbell, according to flight logs
Epstein allegedly used the airplane to shuttle underage girls between his residences in New York and Palm Beach, Florida

Biden's OSHA mandate kicks in 01/05/22, correct? At least that is when my employer mandate goes into effect. After that, anyone noncompliant will go on 30-day unpaid leave and then likely fired. So shit could hit the fan the first week of January all across the country with terminations.

So my employer had around 20,000 salaried employees in our building when we worked in office. Let's say 10% don't get the vax and have their exemptions rejected. That's 2,000 employees gone. We have been working understaffed in my department for over a year. They lose 10% more, they're fucked. HR better not fuck us over, especially after they just made the deal with the UAW of zero mandates for anything (vax status, vax, weekly testing).

71 I'm starting to deny the covid 19 existence. I think it happened, but I don't think it is now. Not to any meaningful degree. It's done. Over. Kaput. The only reason it still exists is because we have to look for it everywhere, and not just let people feel sick and then say "stay home."

We're two years in and nothing is different. More people are dying now that we have the vaccine, and 167 kids died from Covid-19s last year while there was 1 (one) flu death, which was down from 200-300 (shocker!) the year before.

It's all pretend. It's entirely psychological now.

77 The fact that Biden keeps "disappearing" for days at a time with no explanation given credence to your views.
Posted by: Tom Servo at November 30, 2021 05:15 PM (trdmm)


My theory is that he'll increasingly disappear between now and the end of the year, just as we start to see stories appear about the chaos behind the scenes in the White House. Rumors will be published that he's confused during meetings, struggles to follow the discussions and issues, and that decisions sent up to the Oval Office are delayed for long periods of time. Complaints about how agencies feel like no one is really in charge.

He'll give a SOTU early in January. My bet is January 6, as that will allow him to condemn Trump and would be a huge symbolic act. The press will praise his speech as the second coming of Lincoln, but then will add how he looks tired, worn down. He'll disappear again after the speech, with only very limited appearances.

Sometime in late Jan/early Feb, the rumors will appear of a health scare, and then Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office and announce his resignation. The press will praise his "sacrifice" and turn it into some heroic narrative.

128 After being conspicuously silent, the company I work for finally put out an email to US-based employees last week regarding one's jab status.

It was done under the assumption that, in the event the courts ultimately uphold the OSHA mandate, they have to be prepared to meet the deadlines of December 6 & January 4. Got the obligatory "we recommend getting vaccinated" in the email but nothing truly authoritarian (maybe it helps that they are headquartered in a Red state).

As tempted as I was to select the choice "Not vaxxed/Not going to", I opted to go with the religious exception route. I'm a member of a local Baptist church and attend regularly, so there's no real truth stretching there. We'll see where this leads.

The second book had come out and he was so excited, and insisted I would love it (we were specializing in comic book and animation art), so I gave it a whirl. Man, I remember reading the Hobbit in HS thinking I'd have enjoyed it in 6th grade. And reading the Sorcerer's Stone (was that it?) I remember looking around embarrassed somebody would see me reading it.

I'm pretty sure I bailed on the book half way through - and politely declined borrowing the 2nd book as soon as he read it a second time. I'm told by some they got better, others the first ones were best. I think I saw a few of the movies, but they all blend together. A huge meh.

Well it is a children's book . So would this clueless that he's gay, gay guy be a bit emotionally stunted? I think maybe Cochran or others have said that the books do kind of grow up with the kids. So they're good for a kid at that age, and by the time they are in high school it has themes mature enough for a high schooler rather than a grade/junior high kid like the first books.

Sounds like this idiot should stick to what he pretends to know best. As soon as they try to bring science or history into the mix they become poster children for the Dunning-Kruger effect.

What is really scary is the people that aren't just lying and shilling for their own personal gain, but truly brainwashed in terror. Like the video of that nutcase who video recorded some guy's little girl in Walmart for not wearing a mask. And he's literally scared shitless to let anybody get within 10 feet of him. I see people like this at least once a week. They literally run to the other side of the isle, or make a huge circle around you. Can they not even hold their breath? No, covid jumps off an unvaxxed person like a tick off a blade of grass and attacks!

I think anybody in their mid-twenties who is still virgin and hasn't come to grips with their sexuality would qualify as emotionally stunted. Sadly, a lot of people I dealt with in the comic/animation realm were. That's where the voice actor for Pinky and Whacko (Rob Paulson) told me about being stalked by "furverts" (pre furry days). I knew many that collected pieces of nothing but Minerva Mink for instance. But hey, their money is just as green as anybody else's. Just wear gloves.

Hell, she was probably Epstein's dead man's switch. Just the poor guy wasn't totally clear on the definition of "switch".

No doubt she gave the feds everything they wanted, so they could just get rid of ol' Jeffery. She had no silly aspirations of rising above her position or putting pressure on any senators or hollyweird elite. And is way ok with doing a show for a few hundred million dollars, at which point she'll magically disappear to her own private island in Greece.

I like music from the 1930s-1950s and find it generally superior to modern pop music, which is a) always in 4/4 time and b) uses almost exclusively the white keys on the piano.

It does seem that there is an actual strategy to keep President Potato in place until after the '22 election, when he'll suddenly get retired in favor of Veep Blowhard. The junta only really needs someone to sit in the oval office while they run things into the ground, so the actual date of retirement is subject to change. My answer to that strategy is come spring time after a miserable Xmas season and cold, under-heated winter, with the economy still sucking and Republicans suddenly polling very well in the primaries, Potato's retirement date will get advanced to July, right before Congress's summer recess.

416 Ace, are you sure about that Facebook announcement? It looks fake and gay. The grammar in the first sentence is wrong and there's pretty much no circumstance on Earth in which Facebook practices "account removal" on boomers giving hot takes on covid. Even Twitter just suspends accounts for wrongthink and Facebook's userbase is not Twitter.

419 Fun fact: the reddit people refer to Cramer as "cokerat."

420 And it allows for super lazy storytelling. If you're in a bind with where to take the plot, just have someone magic their way out of it.

Magic can be that, if you don't have a good system of magic with real limitations and costs involved. A good, well-designed magic system isnt "I wish I could..." it has real barriers and limits beyond which it cannot go or what it cannot do. Done right, its no better than technology; a gun and a car is amazing but they can only do so much.

421 Tons of great music from just about any time period, especially in the past. The tough part is getting good recordings of stuff from 1930 and earlier. Its mono and squished down so it sounds like a mouse singing through a paper cone.

422 I had friend who was devout Christian and would go on and on about how the Harry Potter franchise was leading children to evil with its glorification of sorcery. He was also a big Star Wars fan and didn't see the irony.

423 Harry Potter is definitely class conscious. Malfoy comes from a rich old aristocratic family. The Weasleys come from a poor old family and they get laughed at frequently for it. Harry's Uncle and Aunt are grasping social climbers. Voldemort's entire schtick is Wizards over Muggles.

Also, the books are really really gay.

That's just English culture, really.

There's a series of stories by Randall Garrett about Lord Darcy, who is a forensic investigator in a world where magic replaced technology for the most part around the time of Richard I. He investigates murders that can't be solved just by clairvoyant spells, as houses and the like have tons of spells to block spying like that.

He has a wizard assistant to do the 'science' for him and they discuss the limits of spells all the time.

425 I ve worked in a union for a short time and not a huge supporter but without them few workers have a voice when business falls for government mandates.

Unions have stepped up and good for them!

426 There's nothing to it. FBI = gay. That's the joke.
----

But how would you explain the joke to somebody who doesn't think that calling the FBI gay is funny? Is there some kind of racist angle here that I'm missing?

Reading through this line of comments reminds me of the "fish sticks" joke Kenye is trying to figure out on Southpark a couple of years ago.

427 Sometime in late Jan/early Feb, the rumors will appear of a health scare, and then Biden will address the nation from the Oval Office and announce his resignation. The press will praise his "sacrifice" and turn it into some heroic narrative.
Posted by: Colorado Alex in Exile at November 30, 2021 05:24 PM (wmDcS)

The only problem with this logical scenario is Dr Jill and those who have direct access to Biden. Their powers will be gone, and until Biden dies they can get whatever they want signed to keep wolves from the door.

430 I believe the content of the Facebook announcement, but I've found no evidence for it actually being real outside this post.

It does not appear on the link, nor does searching for it find any results.

Does anyone know if this is actually real?

431 Queer Potter: More proof that the Left hasn't had an original idea since ... well, forever.
