This is the stupidest thing I have read all month.

More than Tommy Tuberville ranting about furries in the airline industry, snipers and drones on trump's planned arch, or Kash's bestiality rule change?

This has been one insane month.

Next month is going to be more insane, and the one after that even more insane, and the one after that even more insane, and the one after that more insane, and the one af

Actually seems kind of low key compared with January-March 2025, except for the whole unending war thing.

I mean aren’t those really just some of the bylines? We’ve got diaper offering the PLA weapons and their being like, “nah, we already accepted delivery of those form fedex so we get to keep them”, secret squirrel missions from the cia landing un moscow. I can’t keep track of just how dumb we are.

CIA squirrels? I didn't see that one.

Right? So, so much skullfuckery going on within the RNC it's hard to keep track: https://www.cfr.org/articles/making-sense-of-john-ratcliffes-trip-to-moscow

The senator from Missouri falling on his face during his big gotcha moment. The same day he has someone at Axios float him as the next VP.

They always bring out the furry and trans panic at election time. People with higher disgust sensitivity tend to vote conservative, and ghouls like Tuberville want to make sure they are all disgusted and at the polls.

Trans people are disgusting? How are we even REMOTELY in the same list as furries?

One is a fetish. The other is not. We're people ffs. Not some sexual topic for ignorant people to talk about, while never talking TO us.

And trans panic? Miss me with that bullshit every day. If you find me attractive but are ashamed that you find different bodies sexy, guess what, I want NOTHING to do with you.

I have plenty of viable partners that treat me as a person and got no problem being seen with me in public.

Y'all are weird as hell.

Who’s our current Mouth of Sauron?

u/LuckyZero 11h ago

I don't think we have one (officially). Leavitt quit after being left on the bait AF1, and the press sec spot has been empty since.

u/KingBanhammer 15h ago

Yes, but I admit it's a close race for some of those.

Yes unfortunately.
