on drinking bleach

[solarbird]

y'know i've weathered a lot over time but that whole inject-disinfectant thing - and the way that everybody in the gop scrambled to patch it over - that was a real body blow, i gotta admit it.

it's like, i have a long history of saying "there is no bottom" and i really did mean it, but that just really drove it home in a way even for me that is just...

yeah.

i don't even know.

i don't even know.

Yeah. It's the same progression of "he didn't say it - but if he did, he didn't say it the way you thought you heard it - but if he did, he didn't mean it - but if he did mean it, so what?" that has just been their standby since before he was even sworn in.

Damn that progression of excuse-making and covering for, covering up...

[dewline]

You were - and still are - right to say it. That doesn't change.

And then "Why are you still bringing that up? That was four days ago!"

Meanwhile, "her emails!" is evergreen...

[kathmandu]

Yeah, "drinking bleach" is a byword for painful suicide. Or murder.

I'm sure you've seen the joke NEJM study? "Method: we read the labels on all the bottles in the janitor's closet. Conclusions: this stuff will kill you."

All I can do, is say I do hear you

[librarygeek]

I hear you. I don't have any of those idiots left on my friends' list, but I will get out the verbal quarterstaff and pummel others on my friends' posts.

The level of justification and excuses from people is full demonstration that we are living in an unhealthy society. :-(

I'm taking psychology, sociology, medical terminology, religion, and statistics courses right now, and I still don't have any idea on how the HELL we're going to treat this level of mass delusion about an individual's "competence".

Right now, we're getting force fed the Kool-Aid (See Jonestown, I'm using this precisely) even when we're rejecting it and fighting like HELL. (Insert sobbing icon here)

[solarbird]

I didn't. Link, I suppose?

As I said, a joke: https://twitter.com/Amanda_Kerri/status/1253779045294264321/photo/1

I mean, buddy. If injecting disinfectants worked, don't you think we would have been doing this long before?

===You know, they really are trying to get us all...bleached white.

===Seriously....this would NOT surprise me, if they were thinking of this along those lines.

Heh.

Flavor Aid.

What's it say that I know that? It was Flavor Aid, a knockoff- brand, not actual Kool Aid. Grape.

They also had Kool-Aid at the compound, but the cyanide was in the Flavor Aid.

They also make Otter Pops, which are brilliant.

but none of that is the point

the point being if one half (or 40% or so, close enough) of the country decide they prefer to live in a fictional world of their own devising there is literally nothing you can do

at

all

no point, no reason, why even have rational thought? why even have civilisation if all you want are the right kind of lies that reinforce your shambled-together worldview and a Strongest Man/Richest Man who hurts the right people?

you don't need civilisation for that. why even bother?

you can't have a republic with that, though. or much else.

maybe that's what they want.

[solarbird]

they've been after that for the queers my whole life, believe me, i know. and literally that. not even a joke.

and the 8ch crowd (and a lot of the 4channers in /pol/) definitely do want that.

somebody on twitter was going off a couple of days ago about a couple of magats going off about how the one they they were disappointed about in this administration was no liberals in concentration camps and they really seemed to mean it

so yeah

that

Yup. From Jan 2019: “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”
