All violent language & name-calling: "Wrecks". "Brutal". "Moron". That certainly refutes her point, other than it being true.
Un-democratic institutions like the Senate & Supreme Court that are "key" to keeping Whitey, the aristocrats & other scum in power should absolutely be abolished, & the sooner the better. That puts their undies in the proverbial twist, & it's why anything that keeps Democrats out of office will be legitimate in their eyes. Are you scared yet?
Protesters in Venice have clashed with police over the presence of a luxury yacht owned by U.S. ambassador Tilman Fertitta. They see it as a symbol of American wealth and influence. Fertitta's yacht is part of a coastal diplomacy tour marking the 250th anniversary of American independence. (AP video shot by: Niccolo Lupone)
Some physicians and researchers questioned the move and said some of Hegseth’s statements on testosterone Wednesday were not backed by research. Testosterone levels vary naturally over time, and it is unusual to screen patients for low testosterone unless there are symptoms, they said.
“This is non-evidence-based and could cause harm,” said Adriane Fugh-Berman, a professor in the department of pharmacology and physiology at Georgetown University.
The framing fits neatly within a growing trend of hormonal obsession on the right. Over the past several years, in corners of the internet, media, and politics devoted to an exacting vision of masculine supremacy, testosterone has become a substance of mythical importance. Calling a political opponent or message-board adversary “low-T” is the new “soy boy,” “beta,” or “gay.” Right-wing influencers are touting dubious pills that promise to increase testosterone production for more energy, bigger muscles, and better boners. The Trump administration is bragging that the president has the highest T level Dr. Oz has ever seen in a man over 70.
All this is befitting of a political movement that wants to eliminate gender-affirming medical care and gets its health advice from the supplement ads on Tucker Carlson’s podcast. In the eyes of Hegseth and his peers, testosterone isn’t just a sex hormone present in most human beings or a potential gauge of underlying health issues. It’s a magic manly potion, an indisputable indicator of sexual power, a tool for turning matcha-swilling weaklings into musclebound superheroes incapable of expressing any emotion but rage.
Funny, I doubt if there's any testeosterone left in my wretched body, but I can assure you I am a blue-hot ball of screaming rage!
The wailing continues. As does the pounding of nails. I like to imagine I'm beating a Republican w/ a hammer each time I drive a nail home. Relieves the boredom.
House Democrat: Hegseth testosterone screenings indicative of ‘homoeroticism’
The New England Democrat added that the Defense chief is the “embodiment” of the style of hypermasculine, homoerotic art drawn by Finnish artist Touko Valio Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Finland.
“So I feel like they must be looking at that [Tom of Finland’s art] as like their example for what men look like,” Balint said.
No, really? Could explain why none of them like girls. One might even wonder if this were a peculiar & pathetic means of trying to get women out of the military.
Not sure I can stand it! Assembled something electric that works as intended! Only took about an hr. & a half to make the 10 connections. The switch machine's been sitting around for yrs. because the power pack I had didn't have AC terminals for accessories.Even better, it works when attached to the switch.Will it work when it's back in the track? No reason to think it won't, but we'll have to wait until it's painted to be sure.
Remember, they only release footage of hits. Who knows how many millions of your taxes has been wasted on misses?What? No 'plane dumping a load of shit all over American beach-goers? Sissy-boys must be low on testosterone.Stew in your own juices, chumps.
No nation is innocent, except of course these United Snakes, where there hasn't been a wildfire or carbon emission since the early '50s, right? Burn in hell, lying idiot hypocrites.
Not that I'd feel bad if I had killed anyone (And you can't prove nuthin'!); no, it's that there are millions upon millions of subhuman morons who are destroying the world & the planet & deserve death a priori, but I've not killed one of them yet! It's really nagging at me.
Don't get your panties in a twist, moribund losers! I am only the executioner, carrying out the sentence Nature has so deservedly given each & every one of you walking corpses. There. Is that enough for one of you squealing rat informants to call the fucking police again? Far as I'm concerned, you're all fucking squealers until proven otherwise.
P.S.: T. Tex Edwards was the previous occupant of the house I lived in Silver Lake through the mid-1980s & early '90s, before he moved back to Texas. And did anyone call the fucking pigs to have the authors of the song committed? No. Different fucking story w/ me. Open season on Bouffant if he dares to express himself or shares his "feelings". Again, hypocrisy is the greatest sin of all!

The TrainWorld tat was there when I woke up, delivered at 1049.
Home Despot divided five items into three deliveries, first sand & the box for fiddly bits (just after 1100) then the alligator clips,
finally, at 1352, the glue & flashlight.
A real damn flashlight (A bright LED that uses three AAAs; almost blinded myself pushing the TRY ME button.) for when I block the light when working, or the dark recesses below.*For today. Still need ...
It acknowledges the day Parisians stormed the Bastille fortress and prison in 1789, helping spark the French Revolution that overthrew the monarchy. Ukrainian fighter pilots and troops took pride of place the celebrations Tuesday showcasing support for Ukraine and symbolically flexing European military muscle.
Take that, puto Putin! As noted in the item directly below.
I have never seen so many goofy-ass uniforms. Check the leaders & spouses too. Everyone nasty, I'm sure, save Zelenskyy, who's also the only one I recognize other than Macron.
Air Force Veteran Lindsey Graham’s Death Shows Double Standard Between Military, Congress
The military tracks the health of those guarding its weapons. The Senate asks the public to trust what it cannot see.
[Ooops! Here's the link. Pardon me.] Oddly unmentioned is the Executive Branch office-holder who has the nuclear codes, the President. Why don't we run the country like a business, w/ mandatory retirement at 65?
Originally expected Friday the 17th; now, tomorrow!
How does it get to Avondale from Bethpage (just northeast of Levittown) in 42 hrs. & one min.? Flown to PHX, then to Avondale for sorting, & is then trucked to Los Angeles? Hell of a lead-foot to get it to L.A. in four hrs. & 47 mins. Maybe it's flown from PHX to LAX & takes that long to be scanned. As if anything makes any sense anymore.
Anyway, Tues. beats Fri. Shameless plug for TrainWorld; good prices, large selection, & shipping one's stuff by USPS beats the glibertarian weasels at FedEx & UPS by days! My patience grows thinner as I mature.
In other interactions w/ the outside world, fuck alla you moronic chumps. My patience grows razor-thin dealing w/ lying cheats, scumbags & rat bastards.
And to hell w/ the law that won't allow Home Despot to deliver spray paint. (Although Rust-oleum shipped me spray cans directly from Illinois that I ordered from Home Despot.) Now I have to drag my recently scrawny ass to the actual store & wait for an orange-aproned wage-slave to unlock the heavy-duty orange cage it's kept in.
What a fascinating existence. And why do I share this?
Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention.
Let it be known for all time that he knew exactly what Donald Trump was from the very beginning, and chose him over his country:
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ... and we will deserve it.
I believe Donald Trump would be an absolute, utter disaster for the Republican Party, destroy conservatism as we know it.
We would get wiped out and it would take generations to overcome a Trump candidacy.
Donald Trump is not going to be the nominee of the Republican party. If he is, that’s the end of the Republican Party.
Trump is an interloper and a demagogue of the greatest proportion.
When Donald Trump attacked America, and tried to burn down the republic built by Washington, saved by Lincoln and redeemed by King, he was aided by Lindsey Graham who supported the lies, dismissed the insanity and sought personal gain from it all.
Lindsey Graham was a pathetic man, a true cynic and a faithless servant of the Constitution.
He was a simple man to understand and a tragic one. He lacked a moral core and any sense of right and wrong. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made.
Let there be no confusion about what Lindsey Graham was. There was no complexity to the man, nor much in the way to plumb and analyze about his journey to the bottom of the Trump sewer.
Josh Marshall makes the same follower, not leader observation. Probably won't hear much about what an effing sheep he was in the corporate press. See? [Don't click. Started autoplaying fake news.]
Media ghouls, commentators across political aisle mock Lindsey Graham’s death with ‘good riddance’ posts
Graham, who served South Carolina in the Senate since 2003, died Saturday at 71 after a brief illness
Good riddance indeed to the two-faced twit. Apparently he wasn't under much medical care, or was a victim of malpractice. At least he died happily, knowing that cowardly air attacks ("The War") on Iran continue on the telebision.
Lindsey Graham, longtime South Carolina senator, dies at 71 — Graham, first elected to the House in 1994 and the Senate in 2002, was running for reelection this year. He died of a “brief and sudden illness,” his office said. — Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican senator from South Carolina …
