I have an announcement. Effective immediately, I have been appointed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as the 1st head of marketing in US Treasury history. As my first act, we are launching a new campaign immediately. See below. Interested in your feedback.
All America had to do to prevent another 9/11 was close its borders.
Instead, our government claimed the ideology of the hijackers and their supports was peaceful, created a brand new bureaucracy to molest your grandmother and police the toothpaste in your luggage, started two wars which accomplished nothing, erected a massive new spy program targeted at American citizens, and then invited everyone displaced by the wars they started to come live in the U.S.
All we had to do was just close the border, and yet that’s the one thing our government refused to do.
To those asking me what we should’ve done after 9/11: we should’ve closed our borders, ejected any and all immigrants from Muslim countries, and nuked (for real) Afghanistan and any other location used to plan attacks. Just nuke after nuke after nuke after nuke until Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and every other inbred, backwater, goat-humping moron in charge of these turd-world dumps understood we are not to be trifled with.
Instead of doing that, we flung the border wide open, kvetched about how peaceful Islam is, spied on our own people, decided carry-on toothpaste was the real threat, pretended the war in Afghanistan was about girls going to school, and then launched a war based on fake nonsense in Iraq that blew up the entire region and made the entire world more dangerous as a result.
I’m just repeating what a few other women already said out loud:
If Lindsay Clancy walks on this, every woman in a high-stakes job just got a new target on her back.
Female pilot? Cool. Now the first thing people will ask is whether she’s hormonal, postpartum, or one bad night from crashing a plane into a mountain.
Female president? You want the nuclear codes in the hands of someone who can snap and then call it “a psychosis”?
That’s the door this verdict opens. And it won’t close.
If she is not found guilty of murdering those three kids, women don’t get compassion.
We get suspicion. Forever.
Prosecute her as a murderer, or watch one “crazy bitch” torch the credibility of every woman who still has to prove she can be trusted with other people’s lives.
@RickyLaFleurRX7 If you can find it, the “aircraft stripper” (industrial paint stripper) that body shops used to sell will peal it right off. Banned in California and most states. But it gets it right off. Then Zep Alum or whatever etch you use for aluminum prep.
The chatter these days around Lindsay Clancy committing triple homicide of her own helpless children, Charlie Kirk's assassination, the murder of Erin Piacenti in Times Square, all reminds me of a debate 20 years ago in NYT-
Forensic Psychiatrists have been at a loss to for decades to explain the viciousness, sadism, and disconnect from all humanity that characterize the most psychopathic predatory killers. The word these medical professionals kept coming back to: EVIL.
After all their clinical analysis, these men of science just had to finally accept that some people are, in fact, evil. They embody the demonic, and are beyond salvation in this world. They fully understand what they're doing- the extreme pain and suffering they cause- and it gives them joy. Their brains even look different on CT scans than normal people when shown footage of disasters or grisly accidents.
They are monsters, they're quite real, and they walk among us.
But did they choose these horrors, or were they born evil?
If it's possible to choose God, it must also be possible to choose Satan. And we cannot absolve those who make the wrong choice by attaching mental health labels or psychological assessments to them
The comments are rife with morons who, having the benefit of watching this on a 4" screen, think they would have done a better job than people trained to deal with these scenarios.
I was trained to disarm knife-bearing attackers. Some of the knife bearing attackers I trained with were actually formally trained to use knives to unalive people. At one point we spent 3 whole days (literally from 0830hrs to 2100hrs) drilling while some guy recorded us using a VHS-C handicam, then rewatching the footage, critiquing, evaluating, adjusting methods and scenarios, and redrilling. The inescapable conclusion after 3 days of knife drills? Even a spastic gelatinous mass of untrained chubbery had a 90% + chance of causing grievous bodily injury. (We had these cool marker knifes that left red and blue streaks anywhere they contacted.) 40% of those could be fatal when evaluated with respect to underlying structures such as arteries, airways, nerves, or organs.
Do you know what our final decision at the end of 3 days was? If a knife wielding attacker presents even an minimally credible threat, magdump center mass, then go home and cry on your wife's perfect bosoms about how you had to kill someone while your kids ask what's wrong with daddy. Because you may live to regret having made a life or death decision, but it's more important that you live.
@PatsKam GoodRX, put in the Rx, find the cheapest pharmacy. Have pharmacy transfer it. Pay out of pocket for this round. Submit to insurance for reimbursement after they approve. Don’t wait until the weekend. Don’t go days without. Or, fill partial and pay for that. Yes, this all sucks
In 2013, Huey Lewis and Weird Al created the greatest meta parody ever; a shot-for-shot remake of the axe scene from AMERICAN PSYCHO, which featured Lewis's "Hip To Be Square", with Lewis and Yankovic partially playing themselves talking about the movie. So good.
