Things I learned on Twitter

I'm not quitting the blog. I've just been super busy lately. Hopefully regular posting will resume in the near future. But today, I present Things I Learned on Twitter:


!. Bill Clinton just doesn't know when to let things go.

Bill Clinton: Monica Lewinsky affair was to 'manage my anxieties' https://t.co/IY2WndA8WP

— New York Post (@nypost) March 5, 2020

You know, Bill, no one was wondering. No one is sitting around in 2020, trying to decide between Bernie and Joe and thinking "Gee, I wonder why Bill Clinton decided to get his dick sucked in the Oval Office?" First of all, because all of us who happen to have dicks have no problem understanding why you would want to get yours sucked pretty much anywhere, but especially in the Oval Office. That's not a mystery. We totally understand your motivation there. I'm a little confused about your motivation fro bringing it up now, though. Did you just get up in the morning and think :you know, I haven't humiliated Hillary publicly in a while, think I'll bring up my most famous infidelity in an interview!" Then you popped your head up and said "Hey, America, remember me? Remember that time I got my dick sucked in the Oval Office? That was a baller move, right?" I think I speak for most of America when I say we would like to go back to not having to think about you at all, and we would especially like to not have to keep feeling bad for Hillary.

2. There's a good chance that thi year, the choice for President will come down to a senile compulsive liar who's a Republican and a senile compulsive liar who's a Democrat.

3. Men in the 1970's were apparently super weird about women's hands?

Things that men really liked in 1973, according to Cosmo... #TuesdayMotivation pic.twitter.com/vuyJkxoEm0

When you see a headline that reads "Things to do with your hands that men like," you're probably thinking "Yeah, I know what that one thing is." But apparently, you'd be wrong. 'Cuz there are like a hundred other things that men apparently used to want women to do with their hands.Some of them are a bit obvious, like "un-kink his tense neck muscles with a massage." I mean, sure. Who wouldn't enjoy that? Others a re just downright offensive like ". . .put cushions under his head and feet. Bring him a martini."Then there are some that are just bizarre.

Hand his orange juice to him while he's toweling off after the shower.

Yeah, that's the perfect time to hand someone a beverage, when he doesn't have a free hand. He'll think you're a lunatic.

Smash his goblet in the fireplace.

Okay, first of all, who has a goblet? What Medieval fortress are you living in that has goblets and fireplaces? And you know what, goblets aren't cheap. If someone threw my fancy-ass drinking vessel into the fireplace I would have a serious bone to pick with that person.I mean, why exactly am I supposed to enjoy this bit of senseless vandalism?

Section his grapefruit.

Oh yeah. Treat your man like an invalid or a toddler. Hey, maybe you can cut his meat for him too! And give him his beverage in a sippy cup (since you've already destroyed the glassware.)

Do needlepoint while he watches.

Is needlepoint code for some sort of naked activity? Or is your man just incredibly easily entertained and doesn't own a television, radio, or books?

Put your hands on his naked waist and stare at him.

Stare at him? He's naked, you're putting your hands on him, he's thinking there are good times ahead and then you just. . . stare at him? Are you trying to get him to have you committed?

Give him an egg shampoo

Right. . . I know there's nothing I enjoy more than when my wife cracks eggs onto my head and. . . I mean, I guess that's what an "egg shampoo" would be? Like washing one's hair with eggs instead of something that makes hair, you know, clean? Oh hell yeah, baby! Next could you rub raw bacon on my face and coat my skin in cake batter?

Now that egg shampoo thing might seem impossible to top, but what about this thing that us menfolk love for our womenfolk to do?

Make a sandwich out of him and two pillows. Your feast.

Okay, I'll admit the "your feast" part sounds intriguing, but am I to be smothered between two pillows whilst the feasting is happening? Because I gotta say, that's. . . well, okay, it's not a deal breaker, but it sounds pretty awful.

And there are some that are even a bit insulting.

Pat his stomach and ask if there's any movement.

So, is she making fun of my pot belly? Like pretending that she thinks I'm pregnant? Because that is just rude. I have lost like 15 pounds already, I am doing my best! Nothing is ever good enough for you!

Put your fingertips across his mouth

Okay, I get it. You can just say "Shhh." Or "Not now, I'm watching my stories." You don't have to be a jerk about it!

Weekend Playlist -- Food, Glorious Food.

Crybaby of the Day

Today's biggest crybaby is 3rd-tier FOX blonde and all-around shitty person Kaitlin Bennett, aka "Gun Girl," aka "Beretta Barbie." (TM)

Bennett went to the campus of Ohio University for some reason, presumably to be "provocative" and "trigger some libs," and was not given the kind of welcome for which she had hoped.

(CNN)Conservative media personality Kaitlin Bennett didn't announce she was visiting Ohio University. But hundreds of students showed up to protest her appearance.
Bennett, a controversial activist who drew attention for taking graduation photos with an AR-10 rifle strapped to her back at Kent State University, said she was in Athens, Ohio, on Monday to film a video for Presidents Day.

Because why wouldn't she just drop in like Bob Hope doing a walk-on on the old Tonight Show?

But as soon as students got word she was there, crowds of protesters descended on Bennett as she walked around the campus.
In footage captured by Sarah Donaldson, digital editor for student paper The New Political, students lined all five floors of the university's student center as Bennett and her bodyguard traveled down the escalator.
Some shouted obscenities at her.

Which, you know, is not nice but "sticks and stones" as they say.

God DAMN, Peanuts was fucking dark! I think my psyche is permanently damaged becasue my parents let me read this shit as a child.

Bennett shared a video of students gathered around the orange truck she was in as it slowly drove through a parking lot, and some threw water at its windows while she filmed them. 

So, people were rude to this awful awful woman. Or, as she puts it - leftist terrorists started a riot.

Like this, except without the fire and the tear gas and without the violence.

This is how she put it on her Twitter:

This is what happens when a Trump supporter goes to a college campus. Leftists at @ohiou started a riot when @Joelpatrick1776 and I showed up, and the @oupolice let it happen. I think @realDonaldTrump should strip funding from universities like this that harbor terrorists. pic.twitter.com/5TMlfdto9O

— Kaitlin Bennett (@KaitMarieox) February 17, 2020

Awwww, were you scared, Kaitlin? Well now you know how normal people feel when they encounter one of you NRA assholes strutting around with a fucking assault rifle at Quizno's.

And the funniest part is when she's whining about how the cops aren't doing anything, the cops are just letting it happen! Because of course this civil libertarian, this defender of the Bill of Rights, wants the jackbooted government thugs to stop unarmed protesters from exercising their First Amendment right to jeer at her and give her the finger. Of course she does!

And then, because no conservative will ever be honest about anything, she has to embellish the story with claims of actual assaults.

They threw projectiles and poured hot coffee on us, and there's video of your officers witnessing @Joelpatrick1776's truck being vandalized. But yeah, just "some unknown person in the crowd splashed water." I can't wait until @realDonaldTrump takes away your school's funding. https://t.co/b0jiVYW5wy

— Kaitlin Bennett (@KaitMarieox) February 17, 2020

Somehow, though the girl who films herself more than John and Yoko has no video of "projectiles" being thrown at her or hot coffee being poured on her. She does have video of students flipping her off through water-spattered windows (which I guess in her world amounts to "vandalism" of  her friend's truck?)

Oh my God, it gets even better! She actually does tweet out a video clip of her being "pelted in the head with projectiles!" Oddly, the video shows a roll of toilet paper being thrown past her (which she doesn't even seem to notice) and then. . . nope, that's it!

As leftists were pelting me in the head with projectiles, this girl basically told me I deserved it because I'm "in the extreme minority here". I think @ohiou should know that their students think violence against minorities is okay! pic.twitter.com/2TFqkSdo0Z

— Kaitlin Bennett (@KaitMarieox) February 18, 2020

And she's trying to paint herself as a minority because she holds views that the majority of people find repugnant which then makes the imaginary person who pelted her in the imaginary head with an imaginary projectile guilty of some sort of hate crime, I guess?

Congratulations Kaitlinn Bennet, desperate seeker of fame, low-rent Dana Loesch and all-around awful person, you are the crybaby of the day!

If you are considering voting for Micheal Bloomberg

If you have given any thought at all to possibly supporting Micheal Bloomberg, please - PLEASE- take a moment to read some of the stories of Bloomberg's New York under the hashtag #MyBloombergStory 


If you don't want to go to Twitter, I can post a few examples here:

It was 2002.

My dad was stop & frisked for having a Muslim name.

He was detained w/o a phone call to his family for hours. We couldn’t report him missing.

That night I went from hospital to hospital to see if unidentified bodies were admitted.

I was 12! #MyBloombergStory

— Moumita🌹Bloomberg is a racist (@disruptionary) February 14, 2020

I was 14 and about to go down to the train when a cop pulled me aside. He asked what was I doing and where was I going. Then he patted me down which, as a female minor, was uncomfortable for many reasons #MyBloombergStory

— Kathryn🌹 (@The_KatBat) February 14, 2020

I was once stopped, frisked & falsely arrested of being in possession of a weapon for having a small box cutter on me after work. Due to not being able to see a judge the next day I was sent to Rikers where I saw an old man in his 80's die from heat exhaustion #MyBloombergStory

— breeze so lo (@BreezeCrypto) February 14, 2020

We got stopped holding hands after getting ice cream by 4 cops in an unmarked car covering their badge numbers, accusing me of being a prostitute that my partner purchased. They threatened to detain us because we didn’t have our IDs. We are a bi-racial couple. #mybloombergstory

Many thanks to @BenjaminPDixon
#MyBloombergStory

In HS, I was stopped at train station because minority students with gym bags are a threat. I refused to let them search me and I was put against a wall, patted down, and all my stuff was inspected down to reading my school notes

— Golden Deer Class Clown 🌹 (@letdownmetsfan) February 14, 2020

There are hundreds of these stories. Bloomberg, who by the way is a REPUBLICAN, ran New York like a little fascist dictatorship. We can not allow this monster anywhere near the Presidency.


I'll let someone more articulate than myself, Trevor Noah have the last word.

The strange rise of Pete Buttigieg, Part 2

Full disclosure: I;m not a conspiracy theory guy. I used to be, but the older I get the more convinced I am that Lee Harvey Oswald just got off a lucky shot and that it's just a coincidence that there have been a few major earthquakes in countries we don't like while the space shuttle was in orbit. So I am not trying to say that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA plant or anything. But it would make a lot more sense if he was.

For instance: Pete speaks, depending on who's telling the story, six or seven or eight languages. So, Spanish I get. And Maltese, because that's his ethnic background. And French and Italian are super cool and probably help get you laid when you're young and single. But why does a caucasian midwesterner speak Arabic and Farsi? There are only 2 reasons why a white not-Muslim American would learn Arabic and Farsi - either because he's in the oil business, or he's a CIA  operative. And I don't believe that Mayor Pete was ever an oilman.

And then there's the matter of his "tourist" trip to Somaliland. Which is not a place that anyone has ever considered a vacation destination. Ever.

Tourists in Somaliland

By Peter Buttigieg and Nathaniel Myers and Peter Buttigieg and Nathaniel Myers

• July 31, 2008

Last week we went to Somalia as American tourists. We stayed only a night, but that was plenty of time to wander unescorted through the local market, explore town in a battered Toyota station wagon, and even head out into the desert to admire some ancient cave paintings.

"Every member of Parliament in Mogadishu gets a salary paid mostly by U.S. and EU funds," one Somaliland official told us.

Wait. What?
You're there as tourists. You're there for ONE DAY, and in-between viewing cave paintings and exploring the town, you somehow managed to squeeze in a meeting with at least one local government official?
I have been a tourist in several countries. And I have generally stayed in those countries for a week at minimum. And I have never once met a government official in any of them. Not once. And I'm a charming guy.I think any member of any country's parliament would enjoy meeting me. And yet, bupkes! You need to have some kind of serious connections to be in a country for one day and somehow take a meeting with a government official.Rick Fucking Steves couldn't pull that off!

This was as close as he's ever gotten.

And who is Pete's co-author, Nataniel Myers? I had no idea so I Googled his bio and found his Linked-In page where it states

• Nathaniel Myers
•  3rd degree connection3rd
• Nathaniel has a account

Senior Transition Advisor at USAID 

Oh for God's sake. USAID? That's practically a subsidiary of the CIA!

https://www.democracynow.org/2014/4/4/is_usaid_the_new_cia_agency

And "transition advisor?" That means he asssits in the transition from a country's elected government to whatever government we install in that country.

And there's this little bullet point in his resume':

USAID Office of Transition Initiatives

Total Duration3 yrs

• 
  

  TitleTransition Advisor

  Dates Employed2014

  Employment Durationless than a year

• 
  

  TitleDeputy Country Representative, Sri Lanka

  Dates Employed2013 – 2014

  Employment Duration1 yr

  LocationColombo, Sri Lanka

Now why would someone who is clearly not Sri Lankan

find himself in the position of being a deputy "country representative" for Sri Lanka?

Okay, so clearly Buttigieg in up to his eyeballs with the military intelligence milieu. But that still doesn't explain how a no-name mayor from a small town in Indiana who couldn't win an election for state treasurer became one of the front-runners for one of our two major political parties. What is it about Pete? Politically, there's not a lot of daylight between him and a bunch of other candidates who fell by the wayside before Iowa. The people who threw in with Buttigieg could (and should) have just as easily backed Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Beto O'Rourke, Kristen Gillibrand, or Joaquin Castro. But for some reason, from the moment he threw his hat into the ring, billionaires have been lining up to shovel money into his campaign.

According to Forbes:

Forty billionaires and their spouses have donated to Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign, according to an analysis of federal election filings, making the South Bend, Indiana mayor a favorite among America’s richest people.
Forbes found that Buttigieg got donations from 13 big-money donors who gave exclusively to him—by far the most of any Democrat running for president. Two of those donors have connections to Donald Trump. Jennifer Pritzker, a transgender retired Army lieutenant colonel who inherited a chunk of the Hyatt hotels fortune and previously backed the president, is now giving to Buttigieg. So is Daryl Roth, the wife of Trump business partner Steven Roth.

Yeah. . . nothing shady there.


One interesting billionaire that donated to Pete's campaign is LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman. What's interesting about Hoffman? well, buried down towards the end of this Politico piece on the Iowa app debacle, is this little tidbit:

McGowan launched ACRONYM after Trump’s election as a “digital-first political organization" with the goal of electing progressive Democrats, mostly in state legislative races. The group quickly attracted attention, especially in Silicon Valley, from newly galvanized major donors including LinkedIn’s Hoffman, who was wading into politics and looking for projects to disrupt the Democratic status quo. (Hoffman and other donors in his network “took a chance” on ACRONYM, McGowan told POLITICO in 2019.)

So the company that created the app that screwed up Iowa and allowed Pete Buttigieg to declare victory with zero votes counted was funded in part by a billionaire who donated to Pete's campaign and was looking for a way to "disrupt the Democratic status quo." Coincidence? Probably.Hoffman also donated to other centrists like Booker, Harris and Klobuchar (you know, to disrupt the status quo!) but it's way more fun to assume that it isn't!


Another prominent Buttigieg donor (and this one has donated exclusively to Buttigieg) is movie mogul David Geffen. This wouldn't be notable except fopr Geffen's link to the gay West-Coast version of Jeffery Epstein, Marc Collins-Rector.
 https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/found-the-elusive-man-at-the-heart-of-the-hollywood-sex-abus

What is it with wealthy, well-connected men and sexual abuse of minors?
Now I am not AT ALL accusing Mayor Peter Buttigieg of engaging in any kind of sexual abuse of anyone. I have absolutely no reason to think that he has ever committed any kind of sex crime. I'm just saying that Geffen is dirty and anyone with connections to the sex-trafficking underground has probably rubbed elbows with people involved in covert black-ops. And Geffen supports Mayor Pete.

Okay. In summary:
Am I sayimg that Pete Buttigieg is CIA? No. I'm not saying that. I'm also not saying he isn't. All I'm saying is these are the kind of people he has been associating with his entire adult life. And these people never saw a country they didn't want to invade or bomb. And they've never seen a progressive or left-leaning government they didn't want to overthrow. And if Pete Buttigieg ends up in the White House, these are the people who are going to be in charge of our foreign policy. And on the domestic front, there is no way in HELL that a man who worked for McKinsey, who served in Naval intelligence and who has links to FBI and CIA is ever going to allow anything progressive to happen here in the good old US of A.

Seriously, if you're not familiar with McxKInsey, read this piece in the Observer:
