Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

Right, that worked out so well for US Women's gymnasts....oh wait...
In the Belgian gymnast association there was also a whole bunch of talk about abuse, bullying, etc. Mind you , not sexual abuse - physical and emotional abuse, body shaming, negging, and all that sort of thing to "push" them to better scores.
Anyway, today the report was made public. The two head coaches are both found wanting and guilty, both are shown and proven to have hit girls, to have denied boys food, all that sort of thing to "strengthen" them, you know, that style of coaching.
Anyway, both have been asked to apologize, and they have, to the victims. but they're both still perfectly allowed to remain as head coach for the national team, and there is no clear legal way to persue them. Awesome!

Really, people in power are all jackasses. Power corrupts and all that, but still, could we have, like, one priest/coach/minister/secretary/mayor/CEO/whatever who isn't rotten?
 
It's such a broken record thing, but I'm really shocked by GOP consistency in the whole "accusing others of things we're actually doing".
I swear it’s getting to the point where “X accuses Y of doing [terrible thing]” should almost be grounds for opening an investigation into X, not Y.

So who or what are the twitter idiots who keep expecting a coup to happen? Every day there's a new tag with a new date about a coup. I just report it as 'harmful or spammy' and move on.

After all, if they just roll right into Ukraine, who is actually going to do anything about it? Nobody stopped them from annexing Crimea, and we're still in diplomatic and organizational tatters after 4 years of Trump (which abetted unrestricted Russian undermining and sabotage).

Not Europe, USA, or China, so.... The UN blue barrettes? :rofl::rofl:
 
Gotta get in on that griff
This actually reminds me. Anyone remember Milo? Dude has been losing in the last few months trying to keep himself relevant. Recently gave away the game saying there isn't a true conservative movement, as Republicans make more money losing and fleecing stupid people through grifts and have no reason to actually change that. The irony is delicious.
 
Last I saw, Milo is no longer gay, and his future ex husband is just going to be living with him from now on as a roommate.
Turns out being the "gay conservative" isn't lucrative anymore, so he is trying to be the proof that a person can "pray away the gay" to get back in with the more loony channels of conservatives that want that to be real.
 
Ugh. She has Orange County and most of the San Diego area locked up just by being a white celebrity. The SF Bay Area, Santa Cruz, and Monterey Bay areas are going to fucking hate her. So I guess it'll come down to everywhere else in the middle (and Sacramento).

Listen, I know Newsom has fucked up. He shut down restaurants and then went to one for a birthday party. The homeless population is exploding, and that's leading to serious health and crime problems. Our schools as a whole are a fucking mess. Housing prices are absolutely ridiculous, and no one has really found a solution to create affordable housing.

But most of the idiots powering the recall are SoCal assholes who think wearing a mask is somehow just like the Holocaust. They are the ones who want schools open again, and while they say it's for the children its really about dumb things like high school football. They want the homeless to "go away" but they also resist any attempts at improving social services or building affordable housing (SoCal is the epicenter of NIMBY thinking). It's a constituency of dumb selfish people.

Maybe Newsom isn't the best, but he's doing a way better job than any of those fucking idiots would do.

Does Caitlyn Jenner have a cult of personality. I feel there's way too many factors working against her in a general election.
 
"That's just a coincidence!" says the man that believes the date of George Floyd's birthday when combined with the third sentence of an ancient proverb and mixed with a bible verse run through a computer backwards pinpoints the exact latitude and longitude of a secret Zionist NWO sex trafficking fortress.
 
Guys, I'm beginning to believe that Laura Ingraham might be mildly problematic.
In college, she pretended to be a lesbian so she got invited to the secret gay student's club. She proceeded to write an article in the school newspaper outing everybody.
