The Hofoid House of Absurd & Ignorant Posts VII

You know what my thoughts on Kate Steinle's murder are, seeing as TG closed the original thread? I say "no justice, no peace."

Yes, and thankfully national Democrats are smart enough to avoid omegascarlet's name calling and call out this abomination for what it is.

You pretty clearly don't see immigrants as human in the way that you view "Americans".

*illegals.

These are probably the least severe at of all the sexual harassment claims we've seen. Asked her if she had a boyfriend? Put his hand on her thigh? Bad, creepy, but really not resignation worthy.

No Representative from this district has ever been re-elected.

Yeah, brand new swingy seats can do that. Anyway,  this is not resignation/step-down worthy

Come on lol I mean hand on thigh is bad but asking a woman out on a date when it is 'unwanted' is harassment now? Seriously?

Like how the hell is he supposed to know it is unwanted.

Anyway I don't think he should resign unless there was serious unwanted physical contact (kind of hard to parse from this report but it sounds like not).

And no, this is not the least serious allegation. That would be the disgusting victim-blaming from both sides that caused Barton to resign. But this is nearly there.

Come on lol I mean hand on thigh is bad but asking a woman out on a date when it is 'unwanted' is harassment now? Seriously?

It is if Kihuen's behavior was a repeat offense. In cases like these, the victim has almost always pleaded with their harasser to stop.

She said he asked her out on dates twice.

I mean come on, even if she said 'no and I'm never going out with you' I wouldn't call one additional request for a date harassment. He didn't stalk her, he didn't repeatedly undermine or belittle her, he didn't fire her or threaten her job.

You're presuming there's something here when there's no evidence of anything. Yes obviously if he did something beyond what's reported here that is harassment then he harasse her, but the facts of the case as stated are just clearly and obviously not.

Jesus the hot takes in this thread. It's like yall have never been to a bar or something

This is getting ridiculous the bar is so low these days for 'sexual harassment', next we will be calling on folks to resign over complimenting a chicks dress.

These f**kers are defending a 35 year old man repeatedly creeping on a 25 year old woman (even groping her) to the point where she quit her job as no big deal.

Oh noez! A ten year age gap between two mature consenting adults! Next thing you know he'll be molesting infants!

The bolded part is not accurate and that's the real issue with this case.

How does one consent to being asked out? Either you are or you aren't. To my understanding that is basically the extent of the story (at least from what I've heard).

Just the thing to divert attention from Trump if the early sketchy reports be true.

I was gonna say....this was probably done by a Trump supporter.

Source: Many people are saying.

He makes an excellent point by taking Trump's rhetoric and turning it against him. clever.

No it isn't. Everybody has been using "Sad!" and ironically quoting Trump ever since the escalator ride. Hell, you've been a nuisance now for like, what, a few weeks? You haven't noticed it yet?

What? To accuse the kind of right wing nut jobs who believe the election was stolen by 21000 blacks bused in from MS having Neandrethal level racism? Yeah, I'll stick to that (even I was kinda drunk when I wrote it )

I was thinking more along the lines of your Amos and Andy style parody. Didn't bother me (I actually enjoyed the post immensely), but your own kind will throw you to the wolves over that kind of post.

Wow so many left wing democrats on here defending bezos and his near monopoly. Fwiw I think amazon should be broken up. I mean it owns a damn supermarket and newspaper

I'm sure if Bezos' (not exactly the same as Amazon) newspaper reporting was of the same odor as Fox News, blue avatars would be just fine with it.

The Washington Post is a 3rd way CIA propaganda rag. They were running 16 hit pieces a day against Bernie.

If your Jfern erection lasts longer than four hours call a doctor.

BRTD, I don’t think you have to worry about denying sex to trans women.

Well no, as I have a cisfemale girlfriend.

It just strikes me as both bizarre and disturbing how some people want different rules of consent to apply in this type of case.

Saying your an a**hole for declaring that you would never have sex with trans women =/= demanding different rules of consent.

There's nothing transphobic about being unattracted to someone with particular genitals, regardless of their gender identity. The issue of transphobia primarily arises in "post-op" situations where the trans person has the genitalia and the gender identity to which you're attracted, yet you cannot find them attractive because they're trans.

Thing is, even that's not true. If you check out the Everyday Feminism article linked earlier, it specifically asks if a "genital preference" is transphobic and implies that it is to refuse to have sex with even a pre-op transperson. I also once saw a trans activist on Twitter tell a lesbian rape victim that her refusal to be sexually active with anyone with a penis, a sort of PTSD for her, did in fact make her a bigot.

You try not being offended by "genital preferences" when people defining you as a disgusting freak because of genitals is the ultimate source of 90% of your problems in life and has led to many like you being actively murdered.

That has nothing to do with the fact that most non-bi people can not handle a certain set of genitals sexually, and that genitals matter a lot there.

Or that attacking a traumatized rape victim over that is f[inks]ing LOW.

My point is that there are pretty huge reasons that trans people are so bitter about "genital preference". Though it's probably not a common thing/in context. And there are quite a lot of straight people for whom being pre op wouldn't be that big of a deal. Potentially a majority of those who aren't transphobic.

So does that make demonization of a traumatized rape victim OK? Or for that matter anyone? Is demonizing anyone over their sexual preferences OK?

Also in regards to this:

BRTD, I don’t think you have to worry about denying sex to trans women.

Well no, as I have a cisfemale girlfriend.

It just strikes me as both bizarre and disturbing how some people want different rules of consent to apply in this type of case.

Saying your an a**hole for declaring that you would never have sex with trans women =/= demanding different rules of consent.

Did they even know her past? What was the other context of it.

On the image, even if you ignore the fact that it's a single cherrypicked image, I highly doubt trauma victim is what they were thinking about when they typed that. Probably more "you f**king t****y".

Yes, it was quite clear. The response to her was something along the lines of "You were raped by a man, not a woman with a penis, it's not the same thing, stop being a bigot" and then a bunch of raving about something something cisprivilage.

As for the image it really doesn't matter if it's a lesbian rape victim or just heterosexual guy who refuses to have sex with anyone with male genitalia, anyone has the right to refuse consent.

I'm not saying people don't, I'm saying you're probably an a**hole if you do.

Omega is just trying to guilt trip weak liberals into having sex with her because there isn't any other way she's getting laid.

Has someone informed him that America is one of the primary reasons why most of those countries are "sh**tholes"?

Has anyone told you the reason Africa is a sh*thole is because the government is basically socialist? And no America is not responsible for other countries being dumps.

Why are you referring to Africa as one country with a single government?

Listen I’m going to list every country in Africa. But the thing is 99% of countries in Africa are socialist communist or run by Muslims that is not a real winning strategy. Then on top of that you have white racists in South Africa who treat Africans horrible. Africa not at all a place I would move to.

Haha wut?

Blinded partisan remarks that ignore the truth because they don't fit in his little fantasyland bubble

Democrats love their sexual predators.

Just ask all the Dems who still love folks like Bill Clinton, John Conyers, and Al Franken.

Let's not forget the super Dem state of California:
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/24/sexual-harassment-allegations-california-democrats-306231

And those are just a small handful of examples.

Stop pretending you're a member of some special FF party when you guys are just as bad as the other guys.

Okay, Jill stein/Gillespie supporter

That.....that....that just doesn't even make sense.

Voting for both Stein and Gillespie doesn’t make any rational sense if you claim to care about the policies fhtagn claims to care about. But it’s a futile exercise to psychoanalyze Jill Stein voters anyway, so silly me

If both are agents against the globalist establishment, than yes, yes it does make sense. Stein certainly was and is. Gillespie was pretending to be, but still spoke (or rather parroted) the right message to a lesser extent.

We should repeal the 2nd Amendment, seize everyone's guns and do what Australia did. Ordinary people do not need guns.

If they refuse to give up their guns and pose a threat to the army/police they should be labeled as traitors to America and charged with treason, and if they fire their weapons, then all means necessary should be used to stop them.

I strongly stand by my comments.

In that case, I strongly stand against your candidacy for our legislature.

Ok cool, I didn't want your silly support anyways, you're not even in my district, I'd rather have nice people supporting me than a deplorable.

You’re a fry cook at a Chinese restaurant. You’re not gonna have anyone supporting you period.

Wasn't George Wallace pretty much a segregationist (and socially conservative) Bernie Sanders?

This isn't as absurd as it seems on the surface. Wallace was fairly progressive on economic issues.

...He was conservative to the core.



Let's dispel the fiction that Dixiecrats were "economically progressive."  Even during the New Deal, Southern Democrats aided the GOP in opposing FDR's programs.  Most of the Democrat party bosses who controlled the region didn't like black or white poors.

Yeah, Wallace sounds paleocon there - but he became more economically left by the 80s, when he supported universal healthcare.

A fairly decent amount of paleoconservatives including myself back single payer actually.

Thinking about things more, the fact that sex segregated prisons seem like such a rape risk implies a problem with society in of itself (ie If we can't trust people to be in mixed prisons without serious problems, our culture has a pretty nasty streak through it).

no. prefer food that was once alive. pisses me off when people try to remove the taste of game from perfectly fine lamb.

Thread title: Would you eat lab-grown human meat?

I've heard human aint so bad. Especially poors.

Well, now that it's over I can honestly say that it's time to get behind Lipinski, if only to show the rest of the Country that we in the state of Illinois overwhelmingly hate Illinois Nazis.

Thank you for this very mature statement. It is everyone's job to push back against neo-nazis.

It's too late. The guy already got 12,000 votes. It's the biggest show of support for Nazism in American history. And if he loses in a landslide in November, he'll just point to Le Pen's loss in 2002 and reassert that history is on his side.

No, the SPLC is a scam. At the end of the day it’s merely a scam.

I think the entire thing is disgusting.  BOYS should be in the BOY Scouts, and GIRLS should be in the GIRL Scouts.  That's why the Scout groups are named like they are.  One is for boys, and one is for girls!  I know, how ridiculous!  🙄

When Trump said “there are fine people on both sides” he implied that some of the counter-protestors were not white nationalists. Of course, the media ignored the fact that a sizable portion of those protesting the statue’s removal were run of the mill conservatives and labeled everyone who showed up as “white nationalists” because a handful of actual Nazis showed up the night before and did their lame little tiki march. It became a much broader event.

The fact that Antifa showed no discrimination in attacking the demonstrators shows how irresponsible and outright false our media has become. There will be other posters who will respond to this assuredly by insulting me, continuing to perpetuate the “official” narrative, and then lament the division in the country in a typical three act Atlas play.

But to continue the trope that Trump endorsed white supremacy after Charlottesville, or that both sides were basically black and white in terms of the context of responsibility, than you’re either willfully or inadvertently only worsening the divide.

I don't know what you're definition of a "handful" is, but it doesn't match mine.  If any "fine" person showed up to this and couldn't realize in about 2 seconds that this was an Aryan sh**t show, then they really weren't that fine of a person.

I'm not arguing that the Tiki march was sparsely attended, or that the white supremacist presence in Charlottesville wasn't marginal - but they still only represented a fraction of the right leaning protesters present.
