Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
Mrs Whiggins replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
From where, the church across the street? They've been exiled from the building AFAIK. -
aka 'trope.' although not a fan of horror, it's loaded with them.

Carpetbagging weasel faced smarmy little bitch, Ted Cruz
Mrs Whiggins replied to Grade of D as in David's topic in Cloak Room
Someone with degrees from Princeton and Harvard, who lives in a tony enclave with what I suspect to be a very finely designed residence could not be bothered to use a Pantone color matching chart? How performative. -
Remember when someone else (ahem) was in office and he said this on Fox and Friends? That was from 2009 (thank you Wayback Machine) and he apologized then, too.

He (the vp) is an interesting dude for sure. Interesting is doing a lot of heavy lifting for me here. Your quote, "the demand that the libs and minorities they shit on like them," reminds me of this talk that Ed Norton's character had with Renner's in the Bourne Legacy but in a convoluted rationalized way: "We are the sin eaters. It means that we take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us, so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible, and absolutely necessary." That to me is why stoking the fear of the history of rebellion by the oppressed in our past is so successful, ergo: I am the victim here. Look at all that I have put up with from you people and yet you don't like me? -
Clipped for space. An additional comment from that sm account is that the SK media outlet that published that op-ed on the detention/deportations is left leaning but left leaning in that they support the current US admin. She continued the thread with additional news accts of South Koreans chanting 'we are Charlie' etc. As for the article itself, which was translated from Hangul if I had to guess (not a languages expert), the phrase "far rights may have secretly rejoiced," --seemed to me that there was nothing secret about it. Groups are pretty open with the hate these days and appear by all accounts rather proud of it....unless it serves the purpose to play the victim, in which case the hood becomes replaced with a halo.

If it's scraping data from RW op eds then it would be the same five buzzwords. Kind of like what DOGE was doing for federal grant funding denials. Even the dimmest bulb grows tired of person, woman, man, camera, tv. -
The destruction of America's public education system
Mrs Whiggins replied to Captainant's topic in Cloak Room
Yeah, it's currently: "The benefits of Capitalism". I'm counting this as a lateral. Middle school (at least upper ms) is not too young to read The Grapes of Wrath (although I remember some of my friend's parents not being cool with some of the passages--specifically the Rosasharn scene IYKYK) and that novel is such a nice display of capitalism in all its glory...my family used to joke that my great-grandparents were too poor to leave for California but it wasn't really a joke. They damn near starved to death. I didn't know when I read it (actually as a frosh in hs not middle school) about Steinbeck and the controversy with Sanora Babb's Whose Names Are Unknown. I wish educators were given the freedom within a broad curricula to educate and excite students about the highs and lows of humanity in our country. Their lives and imaginations would be so much richer for it. -

Was Mr. Kirk a member of her church? If so, then a congregation's sympathy and concern for their brethren would be completely appropriate. Otherwise, it is not for a priest to bring the world and its events into the church but to bring the spiritual and the Word of God to those seated before him (or her depending upon the religion and church). Just my opinion though. -
Huh, that's some math there. But factual? Really now. Worldwide, it's estimated at around 60 million deaths (2024) overall of any cause (rounding down by around 2 million just to be generous) and the US alone was around 3 million. So given what we know about viewers of this network, 300 million deaths seems about right. It's kinda like the logic that some shoppers use when they see something on sale that they don't really need but it's on sale and that resonates with *checks notes* viewers who think they've got a bargain for what they paid. What's a few innocent lives brutally cut short when we saved 300 million? I am getting too cynical I think.

Nice the way the curriculum mentions the perils of communism and avoids mention of the perils of Jim Crow. -

If Senator Cruz is so civic minded, he could be picking up litter. It has a much bigger impact and is sorely needed. -
Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you
Mrs Whiggins replied to Tailleur17's topic in Lulz
That ^^^ earlier post looks like a gasoline can. This is ours: It pleases me when I fill the mower with gas. The plastic ones were lighter, but I sacrificed the weight for ease of use. I am not a coordinated nor particularly strong female but I can leverage my assets to make it work. -
