  • Great, now I’m seeing “teim” and not “team”.

    Which reminds me of Mexican 7-Up knockoff Teem, which used to be in all the taco stands decades ago. Whatever happened to Teem? One day it was gone and no one seemed to notice it. It disappeared and life carried right on.
    Did it disappear right around the time Sprite started showing up everywhere? I can’t remember.

    Anyway, there’s no “i” in Teem. Carry on!






  • Then there’s the other type of brainwashed idiots, the kind who even after all that has been said and done in the past eight years, insist like a scratched CD on the divide-and-conquer propaganda (strongly pushed by the right) that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe.

    They insist on cherry-picked and distorted narratives, insist on a simplistic and stupid view, insist on some holy grail of perfection and purity test, waiting for some charismatic messiah figure with a magic political wand to fix things overnight.

    In other words, they insist on some miracle godking figure that is the mirror image of what the orange shithead is to the maga crowd. And they will whip out a number of cherry-picked, out-of-context facts and figures to NOT lift a finger on Election Day. And these cherry-picked, out-of-context tidbits are enthusiastically and forcefully handed to them each day on a platter, pre-digested, by right-wing concern troll farms.

    They are just as simple and stupid as the maga plague, and fancy themselves as smarter and savvier than everyone else.












  • On the one hand, I hope that this all leads to an electoral “death by a thousand cuts”, bleeding support with each senile and ignorant outburst, those who were “I dunno… I may go and vote against the libruls this November” dial it down a notch to “Fuck it. Why bother?”

    On the other hand, it doesn’t matter what this orange parasite says and does, it never totally torpedoes his chances, this is all still a real and present danger because there are so many who fall for the divide-and-conquer propaganda, into the comfy lazy bitterness of “both parties are the same”.

    Add to that the twisted battleground dynamics of the electoral college, both internal and foreign interests intent on weakening democracy, republican “soft fraud” like purging voters from the rolls, and one cannot let one guard’s down.

    Fortunately, you don’t have to follow any toxic political news or fabricated outrages or bullshit peddlers, you already have ALL the information you need to do the correct and healthy thing:

    SPEAK SOFTLY
    TUNE OUT
    VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS NOVEMBER

    It really is that simple.

    By using this toilet you “agree” consent to our updated reams of legal mumbo jumbo designed to overwhelm you, and which chips away at your rights and hands them over to us.

    If you click “disagree”, you are free to have your gallbladder feel as if it is going to burst, which may cause internal damage that is NOT our responsibility.

    This restroom service has been brought to you by the techbro suits eyeing that new Learjet for unlimited weekend cocaine-and-hookers trips to Vegas and the Caribbean.
