@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter For what? Having his own political views? He's a skiier, not a member of the administration. The president is not his boss, and he has no duty to publicly support this (or any other) administration.

To others: Please see further comments, below, before commenting yourselves.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter JBSX won't be replying for a while, at least not here. This is not because he has nothing to say in reply - I'm sure he will - but because right now, X'itter is depriving him of his freedom to speak based on a flimsy pretext.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter I know this, because I spoke with him about this in chat last night, during one of @somebitchiiknow's Big Dig Energy streams, this one



over on Rumble.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow He sid that he hoped that one of the skiiers would fall during his run down a hill. His account was then locked based on a charge of "inciting violence," on the basis that he was supposedly wishing physical harm on the skiier.

Horse s--t seldom stinks more than that did.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow Any reasonable person who has every strapped on a pair of skies and gone down a hill is having the same thought on reading those words - "give me a f--king break." We've ALL fallen going downhill, before, and injuries are the exception, not the rule.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow Just like with falls in general, only more so, because instead of hitting the hard ground or cement, one is hitting snow, usually soft, relatively fluffy powder. One gets a little bump as one lands, bounces and skids a little, and coasts to a halt.

That's about it.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow One doesn't even bruise. It's like taking a spill onto a hotel mattress, the padding provided by one's ski pants taking most of an impact that just barely registers.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow You feel a little silly (maybe), you laugh, you get up, and then having snapped back into your skis, you go looking for your ski poles, which will be MAYBE ten feet away.

Then you brush off the snow, and continue. That's all.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow In a competition, that's bad news, because you'll lose maybe 45 seconds doing this, but life goes on and there's hot chocolate to make the cold go away.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow If you're the kind of big ol' wuss who's going to feel cold after that, in which case we'll order some cheese curds and try to put the Midwest back into you, because darn, dude, that's just sad.

(Cut to picture of my Alpine French BF shaking his head.)

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow So, that's what's going on with JBSX, and I hope we can all agree that this was some real bulls--t. Having to knock snow off of a waterproof skiing outfit is not scary to anybody who isn't trying to be scared.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow Sorry ... correction, not last night, Thursday (or "Chrusday," as L calls it). He said that he was looking at a one week lockout, but you know what TwiX is like - we can only hope that when the week is over, that the staff will be honest enough to admit that the week is over.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow This is the site on which "12 hour suspensions" have been known to stretch for years, because Support has persisted in refusing to admit that a year was more than 12 hours long.

I hope that won't happen this time, but you never know.

@jbs_with_a_kiss @KurtSchlichter @SomeBitchIIKnow If all of a sudden, he can't seem to answer the counter-arguments he's getting, that's what is going on.

Please pass the word around because this kind of thing needs to see a little civil shoveback.
